War Room Lounge v133: This is Lead's fault.

Well sure . . . depending on the situation and what folks can get away with posting.

I only support dry-snitching on people I don't like, so I can't help you here.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Man, I hope i'm never such a disappointment that someone compares me to Neve Campbell's tits

 

[AgonyandIrony]

Naaaah. I specifically avoid dropping knowledge in threads like that lol. Well, most of the time. Tbh there's nowhere for me to go in there but down into the filthy slime with all the ignorant rabble. And I'm secure enough in my own understanding of indigenous history, which is immense compared to most people, that I don't need to flex. Just a recipe for pissing myself off. The mascot thread is way worse for me, though, just because that issue boils my fucking blood.

I'm about to pass out at the moment, but i'll hook you up with some reading later today.

Lmao I don't blame you. I thought the libertarian left thread someone made was going to actually go into political ideology that has existed forever and the first four pages were just.. fucking dumb.

I sent the video of AIM singing over the fallen statue of Columbus that I sent you to a bunch of my native friends back in Oklahoma and they all had similar reactions to you. A friend of mine was a water protector the police beat the everliving fuck out of of and she actually cried from happiness.

I’d never get an abortion.

What if it was half ginger though?

There’s always hair dye

The stain of the ginger is internal I assure you.

Tombstone material.

by the way, it took me an uncomfortably long time to figure out what "ginger" is an anagram of. Like, it stands well enough on its own that it passes. And one day a year later I was like..."oh."

Wishing for death is a bit much for me

I'll settle for hoping my enemies step in garbage can juice while wearing fresh socks

 

[Rational Poster]

Violence/Genocide: Do not condone violence or genocide on a person or group of people. You are free to attack a person or groups ideas but you are crossing the line when calling for violence. This will be heavily enforced in threads with breaking news involving victims.

At least you didn't say it out loud out of nowhere the way you say "Eureka!" And now I can't stop laughing at someone yelling the N word in the middle of a grocery store in that tone.

I fucked up and said "I can't breathe" because my mask was being a pain in the ass at a March a few days ago. Saved myself by turning it into a chant though.

Like in some sort of time travelling, multiverse scenario? I think that's beyond the scope of Sherdog policy.
Can't say I'm much of a Harry Turtledove fan.

So how come I got a yellow card for a comment wherein I said there's a alternate universe where if things were different I'd be delivering violence upon a certain type of monstrous asshole? Pure fantasy and hyperbole and it still got me a pissbelt for a month. I wouldn't dispute the infraction otherwise and obviously it's in the past already now anyway; I bring it up only because of this particular claim of yours.

You can’t just say “In an alternate universe....” and the thing that isn’t allowed. The answer for everyone here is just avoid it entirely and stop wondering about where the line is blurred. That’s how you can completely avoid breaking the rule. It is super easy to still attack/ criticize people or groups without doing that piece.

It's always going to be somewhat subjective when people are talking about hypotheticals as to whether what they post amounts to endorsing/advocating/justifying political violence in the context it's posted. It's a bit like those old disclaimers, "I had dream where..." or "Someone Who Isn't Me...".
Arguing that something doesn't "technically" break the rules as written and explained isn't going to be accepted as an excuse.
Just ask Wai. Oh wait...

The complaint filed on May 21 compiled a slew of interviews with inmates describing the poor conditions in the facility. According to multiple accounts in the complaint, guards have been spraying HDQ Neutral every 15 to 20 minutes all over communal areas with devastating consequences on those imprisoned.

"The guards have started spraying this chemical everywhere, all over everything, all the time. It causes a terrible reaction on our skin," one inmate said. "When I blow my nose, blood comes out. They are treating us like animals. One person fainted and was taken out, I don't know what happened to them. There is no fresh air."

Another inmate said he started profusely bleeding after coming into contact with the bathroom, which an official sprayed with disinfectant. They said the official told them it was HDQ Neutral.

"I started bleeding from my nose after being in contact with a strong chemical they are using," they said. "I am still bleeding, more than five hours later."

This kind of got swept over due to... A LOT, but this is absolutely infuriating. Along with this.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/immigrant-children-sexual-abuse.html

The federal government received more than 4,500 complaints in four years about the sexual abuse of immigrant children who were being held at government-funded detention facilities, including an increase in complaints while the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant families at the border was in place, the Justice Department revealed this week.

Granted the All lives Matter types don't give a fuck about the needless suffering of immigrants.

That jives with my understanding, but my question is, in what way is that not contradicted by "Like in some sort of time travelling, multiverse scenario? I think that's beyond the scope of Sherdog policy."?

Oh @Andy Capp You were talking about the Axe Man of New Orleans right? Yeah I know all about the dude. There's a really well researched absolutely grisly book written about him.
I used to be able to recite his letter from memory but I only remember bits and pieces of it now.

Hottest Hell, March 13, 1919

Esteemed Mortal of New Orleans: The Axeman


They have never caught me and they never will. They have never seen me, for I am invisible, even as the ether that surrounds your earth. I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman.

When I see fit, I shall come and claim other victims. I alone know whom they shall be. I shall leave no clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood and brains of he whom I have sent below to keep me company.

If you wish you may tell the police to be careful not to rile me. Of course, I am a reasonable spirit. I take no offense at the way they have conducted their investigations in the past. In fact, they have been so utterly stupid as to not only amuse me, but His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc. But tell them to beware. Let them not try to discover what I am, for it were better that they were never born than to incur the wrath of the Axeman. I don't think there is any need of such a warning, for I feel sure the police will always dodge me, as they have in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away from all harm.

Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer, which I am, but I could be much worse if I wanted to. If I wished, I could pay a visit to your city every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens (and the worst), for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death.

Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people. Here it is:

I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for you people. One thing is certain and that is that some of your people who do not jazz it out on that specific Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe.

Well, as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native Tartarus, and it is about time I leave your earthly home, I will cease my discourse. Hoping that thou wilt publish this, that it may go well with thee, I have been, am and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or realm of fancy.



--The Axeman[6]

It's also an interesting period of Italian-American history, considering he almost exclusively chopped up Italians, that was also around the time a bunch of Italian-Americans were lynched (the president thought they deserved it even though they were innocent) because someone killed Sheriff Hennessy.

I wasn't being serious. I meant that time travel and the potential for multiple dimensions is beyond the scope of Sherdog's forum rules. "Would you go back in time and kill baby hitler" is a common scifi trope/hypothetical ethical dilemma.
My other post as to where the line is drawn, "If your post in context reads as supporting/advocating/excusing actual political violence you're probably breaking the rules" applies regardless.
