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

[Falsedawn]

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.

Can we add the "they're gonna get their new civil war" headasses to that? Or should we just relentlessly mock them and post Meal Team 6 memes?

If you think people are breaking the rules, report them. Don't expect us to read through endless shitposting and moderate something if it hasn't been reported. Don't flame people off topic and don't quote posts you think are breaking the rules. It's a pain in the arse if we have to clean up the thread.

@AgonyandIrony is New Orleans opened up now?

Do you remember a time when the war room wasn't like this?

Who is this impostor and what did they do with the real @Wadtucket

I just depends on who's running the account on a particular day.

@MVelsor

Why is this even a thing?

The only instances where I could see hiring/firing discrimination not be an issue is say someone works in a job where you are exposed to a lot of open wounds and also have a communicable disease. I am sure there are doctor's out there with HIV and AIDs but I doubt many are surgeons (as an example).

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.



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.

That's incredible. Proof enough once and for all (to me) that truth is stranger than fiction. Thanks for citing the letter.

This bit caught my eye, so apropos to the now common scenes of gun toting white nationalist protesters passing with nary an encounter while their unarmed opposition get thrashed for demonstrating peacefully, "... the police will always dodge me, as they have in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away from all harm." This had never really changed in NOLA, from what I gather, hm?

Mind you, I feel like every nearly wealthy person in America, and surely every one on Wall Street, has thought this at one time or another.

All political violence is wrong!

@Pseudo Sane

I dont endorse anything more violent than sensual tickling in politics. Sorry gents.

Maybe jello wrestling.

That's a bit subjective, because I hate identity politics and that's overwhelmingly the global political landscape at the moment.
The vast majority of identity politics (especially of the, "This is what's wrong with the world and it's this groups fault" variety) tend to offer precisely fuck all when it comes to policy and improving the world.
So yes, in my opinion the arguments over global warming, unionism, taxation, health care, fiat currency and explicit ideologies such as libertarianism, social democracy etc made for a period when the War Room was better. I'm just not interested in discussing American political LARPing, comments on twitter or Trump's attention seeking.
The bickering is much the same though, and some aspects were worse when conspiracy and religious threads were allowed.

I may be a member of Meal Team Six but I bet I can still outshoot a lot of Fudds.

Btw, what did you think of Run the Jewels 4? Fucking masterpiece start to finish.

All oppression's born of lies, I don't make the rules, I'm just one guy
All due respect, if getting spit on's how respect is now defined
Hungry for truth but you got screwed and drank the Kool-Aid, there's a line
It end directly at the edge of a mass grave, that's their design
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)
Pseudo-Christians, y'all indifferent
Kids in prisons ain't a sin? Shit
If even one scrap a what Jesus taught connected, you'd feel different
What a disingenuous way to piss away existence, I don't get it
I'd say you lost your Goddamn minds if y'all possessed one to begin with

And you so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me
And 'til my voice goes from a shriek to whisper, "I can't breathe"
And you sit there in the house on couch and watch it on TV
The most you give's a Twitter rant and call it a tragedy
But truly the travesty, you've been robbed of your empathy
Replaced it with apathy, I wish I could magically
Fast forward the future so then you can face it
And see how fucked up it'll be
I promise I'm honest, they coming for you
The day after they comin' for me
I'm readin' Chomsky, I read Bukowski
I'm layin' low for a week
I said somethin' on behalf of my people
And I popped up in Wikileaks

I had never heard this term before so I googled it for the giggles but the thing that makes it great is I already knew what I would see when it returned the results. Literal LOLs.

Man, don't sugar coat it, this place used to be way better. It's barely worth reading now, and when it is it's mostly just to laugh.

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.

Thanks, I appreciate the clarification. However, I hope you can appreciate the applicability to my particular circumstances, @Lead and again, that I have not otherwise made much of an issue of the judgement against me. All this to-and-fro-ing must make it seem like I have a beef; please understand that is not so--rather the opposite--just sayin', as it were, and trying to explain my reasoning for "just sayin'" anything.

So, party on, dudes.

Anybody familiar with the author Matt Taibi?:

I've never heard of him, but seems like something maybe worth checking out.

Also, anybody here read/listen to John Mearsheimer?

Yes, he’s outstanding
