Godammed SDN

The average guy, I have no doubt that just about every elected politician at the federal level is on the take from someone.

I'm disillusioned enough to just assume the average Republican is a fuckwit who's probably just dittoing stuff he heard someone else who heard something from Rush Limbaugh

[Flagg]

I got a warning for calling Shep a racist in the thread where he was being racist. Hilarious. Apparently fgalkin got one for making fun of me or something, but I don't really care.

[Aaron]

OK, that's a little fucked but aren't warnings worthless anyways? There doesn't seem to be a formal leadup to a banner, just whether you piss off the admin.

[Flagg]

I dunno what warnings are worth tbh. I just think it's funny that the racist fuckhead gets nothing and the guy who points it out gets in shit. It's too bad I lost all of my shep being racist fuckwit in IM's logs when I switched HDD's. I'd post that shit in a second.

Sounds like someone took a leaf out of the army discipline manual; punish everyone.

strak u know wat will happen to aapl

seeking to maintain their profit margin, they will continue to squeeze their suppliers like they have been doing already

the suppliers, wanting to maintain their profit, will exploit the workers even more than they are being exploited now


the proletarians of the world, realizing they have nothing to lose but their chains, will unite and, hopefully, exterminate their capitalist overlords while attempting to seize the means of production so they can keep the fruits of their own labor

of course the capitalists will use the governments they have bought off to force other poor people to take up arms to crush the worker's rebellion



meanwhile the gadget hungry fools in the west will be getting antsy because their iPad 4's are out of stock

the apple shareholders, realizing htis might hurt their bottom line, will convince the us government that the chinese government isn't crushing the worker rebellion quickly enough

the us will invade china to assist in the crackdown

but the chinese government is too proud for this and will nuke the united states

then the united states will nuke china

then the russians will nuke the united states

then the united states and the united kingdom will nuke russia


you get the idea



anyway in the end once the smoke had cleared there won't be any iPads

there won't be any Apple stock


turns out capitalism is unsustainable

and apple is an evil company that produces useless, overpriced trash

so there

Except the guy who did something wrong.

Yeah. But it feels like the game is trying to go towards the whole "Americans stand united" portrayal, which is pretty funny considering that the various states didn't think that way. .

I don't think there's enough going on in this trailer to make that conclusion. The only thing we really get to see is a hammy looking george washington giving an actual speech by george washington while the two armies duke it out--and also here's a guy killing some scouts in the woods.

Saying it's anachronistic and not representative of the period is kinda like saying George Washington should have toned it down a bit, given the context.

He probably should have, however do note that he was one of the first united USA guys so him using this propaganda is pretty good.

I don't... wha...

A speech from George Washington about the importance of the colonies standing together as Americans is anachronistic and wrong for the period, because it's too "Americans should stand together."

needs moar context plz

I mean seriously, where is this from? I can't see any threads in GEC (it's got a new acronym geez guys get it right lolz) that would seem to relate.

Remember that if you don't show the founders as slave owning racists, rapists, traitors and murderers then you love America and should die.

Unless, of course, you are quoting their (esp. Jefferson's and Adams's) opinions on religion in an argument against a conservative.

Though even that has probably fallen by the wayside, since there isn't much actual discussion of religion. I assume the religious members largely keep religious discussions in the religious people group's private board so they don't have to deal with tryhards shitting all over the thread.

In other news, I eagerly await the response to the Zimmerman video (where he's shown walking into the police office after the shooting without so much as a scratch on him) from the people claiming that Treyvon was beating the shit out of him.

The Zimmerman fangirls are seriously trying too hard on news blogs. Now the police supposedly took him to a fire-station to clean him up real nice before they brought him to the police station.

tbh I realized that I'll probably enjoy the game even if it is packed with eyeroll-worthy OORAH USA FUCK YEAH nonsense. So I stopped complaining.

I was thinking more how people like SVPD would try to justify it. News blogs are news blogs, so the antics in those comments don't have as much entertainment value for me. I'm more interested in watching the antics of SDN posters, and whether the white knighting of Zimmerman would continue, or if his defenders in that thread will throw him under the bus and go back to defending the Sanford police against charges of racism for not doing any investigation.

Which brings up a thought I had. For all the complaints about how the US doesn't have a real liberal party, it seems like the average post over there has tacked pretty hard to the right in recent years.

Some comments are better fodder than others. But compared to newsvine or the like SDN is downright socialist.

[Ohma]

wrt thanas v0.1 i think you may just have to come to terms with the fact that many people on sdn are more like sophisticated chatbots than actual people with thoughts and feelings about things

edit: really you could say the same for most people on the internet in general

[Veef]

Clearly only a machine would say such things!

I'm onto you, Ohmacron!

Kamakazie Sith has dismissed the video. So, a guy suffers a broken nose and there's no blood on his shirt? No bandage on his nose? No lesions on his head and face from being aggressively attacked to warrant deadly force? No bandages to cover the lesions? I had no idea that paramedics wouldn't cover injuries with the appropriate medical equipment. Are police obligated to change a suspect's bloody shirt as well?

[Zod]

There should be blood all over his shirt if Trayvon really was shot at close range.

[Flagg]

KS and SVPD have proven my theory that cops will defend any shooting of a black person as long as the shooter was not himself black.
