New Testingstan

I accept your apology. I also extend my own for the way I phrased the original post on SD.net. It was slapdash, hurried, and didn't contain enough content to properly reflect my point, or what I was trying to say, or to properly make clear that I didn't consider Flagg's position on the list to be pr...

Flagg, I only found out about this when I got a PM from Los at about 3 PM EDT! I spent the entire rest of the day after about the first hour of frantically apologizing saving copies of every fanfic I posted on SDN since 2002 because I had asked Dalton to delete my account . I only went to check this...

You're projecting like crazy. But then you are crazy. You're crazier and projecting like crazy yourself with that whacked out "duchess clearly must have read the more recent thread!" shit. Sorry, but though it may amaze you, my memory is horrifyingly excellent--I've long used this fact to...

Why would anything bad happen to me? I forgot it had been reposted here and there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that you read the most recent post in the private forum. So I apologize for having memory issues due to being anesthetized too many times. Doesn't change the fact that you did somethin...

Anyway, I don't want anything bad to happen to Flagg, but if this is the quality of the moderating staff here, maybe I should get a modship because I'll actually fucking use the search function before condemning people.

I maintained throughout this sordid affair that I had read the information on a non-private section of the board, and I was right. My memory was not addled, and I did not make a mistake. I expect my privileges to Beta Testing to be restored immediately, thank you kindly, and a reasonable investigati...

Flaggs_New_Testingstan_post.PNG Reposted from that other board: So I started puking my guts up nonstop yesterday evening and my headache that I've had for 2 months got like 10 times worse. I waited overnight then when it was hour 12 of the pukathon I went to the ER. Tell them about my situation, th...

You get costs of $9,000 a year ? We get that for a three year course, and still complain about it... Yep, and the poor people get loans they have to repay, as the free federal subsidy is capped at $5,500.00. Federal work-study is capped at $3,000 (free money if you work some job around campus for i...

What? I thought that $1,200 or so for three five-credit courses at a community college was reasonable, since that's less than $4,500 in tuition a year (three quarters) and less than half of the cost of the cheaper of the two main state universities in my home state. Of course, it's also why I conclu...

Based on the leeway shep got for over a decade, you might have to go a lot further for a ban. You know, if you wanted to, the thread could probably do with your perspectives on the matter, considering your own native ties in Australia. All I know is that just 'cause I get ahead of myself and sugges...

I just think the assimilationist creed is powerful enough in their governing ideology that I'm going to have someone come down on my head like a hammer.

No, Aaron. Whole tribes in Brasil displaced from their language and way of life literally just drink and drug themselves to death--also happens in other places but I'd need time to bring up specific examples from old readings. It is literal, not merely cultural, genocide, to enact cultural genocide....

Patroklos. Though in general assimilationist attitudes infuriate me immensely because they're produced on an incredible level by the progressive version of racism and European ethnocentrism. I'm a conservative, not a racist, and that combination means one of my most passionate subjects really is def...

In all my years on SD.net I've had "meltdowns" before, but I've never sat back before after reading someone's post about me and wanted to literally do violence to the person on the other side of the screen before. Well, first time for everything. I honestly wish I'd get the Bakustra treatm...

EXCELLENT. Our plot to kill Los of boredom is working!

Eh, it'll still create chaos and bunching for the zombies simply by distribution theory and the likelihood of zombies tripping and getting trampled is high... Which will literally tear them to pieces in giant mob rushes as they try to go over the wire, so that will actually permanently put down a lo...

There were multiple cases of a single machine gun crew (or in the case of the "soldier worth millions" of the Portuguese expeditionary force, one single man when the whole rest of his division retreated in disorder) stopping an entire regiment or division because they were in a good, prepa...

Actually as early as the 1870 Franco-Prussian war the casualty rates in some of the regiments making frontal assaults at the battle of Woerth were 88 - 96%, and those were elite Frenchmen with better rifles than the people they were attacking and bayonets, not unarmed zombie hordes. These regiments ...

Yeah, I don't get the identity-theft arguments. As long at the card has security measures built in such as the ability to call up, give, say, some sort of PIN, and have the card suspended-pending-replacement in the event of losing it, you can not only make it more secure than the standard SSN, but ...

Yeah, that's the main thing, I don't want to lose my wallet and wake up a month later to find someone has racked up 500k in credit card debt in my name, which is exactly what would happen the way the US system works if a SSN based national ID were issued. Who doesnt carry their SS Card in their wal...

Jung isn't Jub, right? For some reason I thought you'd changed your name to that on SD.net and flipped out at how you were acting in that thread, and then I realized I was probably going crazy from overwork.

I think my household needs at least 12 guns, but that's for two adults. And actually it is less common than you'd think. There are about 1.1 times as many guns as population (110%), but 40% of households have guns. The number went back up from 33% after Obama was elected--it had been falling beforeh...

I've always known from the way Flagg always mocked me that he wanted a transsexual girlfriend.

Yeah, I know. Just think, though! A mildly different set of circumstances and we could have GONE ON A DATE. IRL. I suggest Paraiso up in Smokey Point.
