Palis got banned? For what?

Same as the other three or four times he was banned.

He's probably already back

He's probably already back

And on dubs no doubt

To be fair I think his first few meltdowns were induced by @HollywoodNicky

Now it's just life in general that has him perpetually angry

That train thread has a serious case of dumb in it.

"Thanks Merkel for bringing these people into Europe!"

*Suspect is potentially a gypsy from Kosovo....

Fucking shoot me.

Nah this is just blatant being a dumbfuck... claiming Kosovo isn't a part of Europe when it's literally a hop from German to the Czech Republic, then Slovakia, then Hungary and now you could have Aaron Rodgers throw a pass to Davante Adams over the border in Kosovo.

Like there's "that opinion is dumb" or "the argument to get to your opinion is dumb" level dumb then there's the geography version of this:

I don't remember him from when he was posting as The Day Walker.
Supposedly he was more of a troll back then.

I'm talking about the original Palis account.

We used to post in the Sports Bar all the time back in the day. One day he started complaining about HN and how he was going to the War Room to put him in his place and was banned within a week I think.

Made new accounts and did a couple of more times. A bunch of us told him he should probably avoid the subforum but he's a gluten for punishment

I was referring more to the fact that every thread devolves into really ugly racial arguments really fast.

SORRY!!!!!

I also didn't want to quote the guy and given him a notification and drag that shit in here.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Do you guys who whine that the mods don't moderate the way you like actually report people? Or just get pissy when you get reported because you saw someone else acting like a dick and did nothing??

I don't. I don't have anything against reporting, but I've done it maybe two or three times in the last 15 years. I don't get pissy about being reported myself (doesn't seem to happen much).

There's a gap in this train for me, but isn't this about the decline of extended-family connections? I think liberalism could play a big role in there, in that it is inherently opposed to tribalism and nepotism, but @Kafir-kun also provided a cultural-evolution-based explanation that seems plausible (which, of course, doesn't mean it's correct).

Throughout our history ("our"=humans here), we've developed rituals--food-processing, tool-making, divination, etc.--that no one engaging in them could explain the benefits of but that were actually extremely important to our survival. A liberal in most times and places could get killed--either by offending the tribe or my skipping steps in those rituals that didn't *seem* essential but that we now know are. But that last clause is important. We have reached a point in our cultural evolution where we can make liberal arguments for stuff described here (and more in the book referenced). It might be that there are good liberal arguments for deepening extended-family connections.

That is a pretty cool article.

It makes sense that random traditions would

I can’t help thinking that while a liberal (in the more generals sense u r using it) might reject some helpful traditions, he/she would rapidly replace those costs with the benefits of empirical thought and the scientific method.
