Yes, of course. Someone's smart and not a Republican so making up lies about them is OK to you.

No. Drunk Rage posting and PMing the last few days just normally is not you.

You are usually just smug arrogant and untruthful.

Seriously, many of us were worried
 
Sketch is one of the top tier trolls of the forum, he's the hero we deserve

Good lord, dude. He's legitimately the most pathetic person I've ever come across. His only "positive" attribute is that he's such an incredible loser that he can dedicate weeks, months, years spending hours every day trying to annoy people (given that I see maybe one-tenth of the posts he makes quoting me, I can't imagine the space in his life his shtick takes up). Hell, people like you and @Limbo Pete egging on that high school outcast-turned full-time internet pest is pathetic in its own right imo. And I take the time to mention this specifically because apparently it almost resulted it one of the thread regulars getting doxxed and having his real life fucked with.

Heretic, meanwhile, has issues and definitely gets petty and posts in bad faith, but it's not like he's blatant failure.

FWIW, the only "talented" troll I've seen here is IGotAHugePeckah (sp), who I understand was recently banned unfortunately. And JamesRussler had some flash, although he was only like 20% troll. Sketch is just a moron with no social life to interfere with his shtick.

Yorkist is trash I'll admit, one of the few I have on ignore and definitely worse than Heretic. I think he's Cunningham now.

Yeah, Cunningham. I forget that sometimes. He's more sincere, which I guess is less pathetic in terms of criticizing his pastime, but he's just a miserable racist.
 
Did he grab their asses? Why do you think I give a shit about Joe Biden, you're acting like he's my idol or something. It's like it doesn't matter who you talk to, you just think "leftie" and you just repeat whatever you've rehearsed.

No. He did not pat their asses. He just fondled, rubbed hands/arms over chest. Kissed and smelled hair while fondling

I'm just asking you be consistent with the fake outrage

"Can I ask you something?" Trump asked someone I know, about his then-13-year-old kid, "Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?"

The process of giving blood is not a pleasurable one. Currier noted that after constantly donating, “the bruising gets terrible…Sometimes they can’t find the vain ‘n’ shit or they insert it wrong and they have to adjust the needle underneath your skin” she said, claiming that just thinking about it freaks her out, and revealed that her husband had to temporarily stop donating as his bosses thought he was on heroin due to the track marks on his arms.

Watkins agreed. “You could always tell how long someone had been doing the job by that needle,” he recalls. “Once they’d been there a year or so, they’d have stabbed literally thousands of people and could just tap your elbow once and slide the needle into the vein with no problems. New guys would miss the vein, punch through the vein, or try to hunt for it with the needle tip, which would leave terrible bruises.”

There is also little thought for the comfort of the patients. As Watkins explained, the thermostats are always turned down to around 50-60ºF for the plasma’s sake. Once the amber-colored plasma has been extracted, your cooled blood is re-injected in a painful process that feels as if ice is being inserted into the body. “Combined with the already cold air temperatures, this was maddening,” he notes.

Thus, America’s zombie poor are left almost permanently mentally drained like heroin addicts, and with similarly bruised and punctured arms, except they are being paid for the inconvenience. But perhaps the worst thing about the experience, according to those interviewed, is the dehumanization of the process.

Donors are publicly weighed to make sure they are heavy enough. Obese people are worth more to the bloodthirsty companies as they can safely extract more plasma from them each session (while paying out the same compensation). “They definitely turn you into a product in a very literal sense,” Watkins says; “It’s deeply exploitative and a symptom of just how far gone capitalism is.”

Many centers are enormous, with multiple rows of dozens of machines working in an attempt to appease the insatiable appetite of the vampiric corporation. And there is, according to Watkins, no lack of human “victims” willing to be treated like animals in battery farms, in exchange for a few dollars: “It was an assembly line to extract liquid gold from human mines,” he notes.

Currier also highlighted the treatment of the staff and the cost-cutting measures of clinics in Maryland she visited would enact:

Usually the places are hugely understaffed which means they frequently don’t change gloves, the people are overworked, and at the minimum you’re staying there for 2-3 hours which means you have to plan a whole day around this shit only to get 20 bucks in your pocket to make it through the next few days. It’s depressing, disheartening and frankly embarrassing to have to hustle like this. I feel like shit after I donate.”



Exploitation reaches new levels
But the exploitation of humans has reached new levels in clinics on the U.S.-Mexico border. Every week, thousands of Mexicans enter the U.S. on temporary visas to sell their blood to for-profit pharmaceutical corporations. The practice is banned on health grounds in Mexico but is completely legal north of the border. According to ProPublica, there are at least 43 blood donation centers along the border that prey primarily on Mexican nationals in a legally ambiguous practice.

According to a Swiss documentary on the subject, there are precious few checks on the cleanliness of the blood these companies accept, with some donors interviewed admitting they were drug addicts. But all is sacrificed in the pursuit of dazzling profits, something donors were well aware of. Rachel from Wisconsin admitted,

I did it for the money, I think we all do it for the money, but it’s not really something you out and out say because there’s a veneer of “helping the sick” slathered over it. But I caught glimpses of what kind of industry it was on occasion through innocuous questioning. The amount of plasma drawn from one person per donation was worth upwards of $600, I never really got a clear answer on that.

Andrew from Pennsylvania agreed, noting wryly,

I know my plasma was worth thousands of dollars per donation [to others], because I’ve seen what a hospital in my city charged a hemophiliac for platelets, so the pittance that they pay is ridiculous, but there is only one buyer making offers at the human level. If you’re poor and out of other options, you’ll take $40 however you can get it. Any port in a storm.”

Michael, a social worker from Georgia who sold his blood for extra cash, was deeply scornful of the entire situation. “I’ve known quite a number of people who rely on money made by selling plasma. A lot of times it’s to cover childcare or prescriptions or something along those lines,” he said. “It’s absolutely deplorable to leverage literal blood money from people who have so few options.”

Big pharma is particularly interested in the blood of the young. One billboard campaign from Grifols intentionally targeted working-class students. “Need books? No worries. Donate Plasma” reads the headline. Teenager blood is in high demand in, of all places, Silicon Valley, where anti-aging technologies are the latest trend. One company, Ambrosia, charges $8,000 per treatment to aging tech executives, infusing them with the blood of the young, turning these individuals into bloodsuckers in more ways than one. Despite the fact that there is no clinical evidence that the practice has any beneficial effects, business is booming. One committed customer is PayPal co-founder turned Trump surrogate Peter Thiel, who is reportedly spending vast sums of money on funding anti-aging startups. Thiel claims that we have been conned by “the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual” and believes that his own immortality may be just around the corner, a notion that has deeply concerned academics and commentators alike.

The new and booming blood market is the perfect embodiment of the late capitalist dystopia modern America has become. The dehumanizing process of harvesting the blood of the poor to fund the quixotic immortality dreams of the super-wealthy turns the former into walking, living zombies and the latter into vampires, feasting on the blood of the young; a true American horror story worthy of Stephen King or H.P. Lovecraft. As Rachel from Wisconsin said:

It really is an industry where ‘squeezing blood from stones’ is about as literal as you can get.”

Weird how often you find stories that are thread worthy and then post them in the Lounge but then also find non-thready worthy stories and use them to start threads.
 
Typical socialist pussy can't even handle being partially drained of blood.

It's weird, dude. I've always donated blood. I never had a problem with it growing up or through college. And then in the past few years I started having reactions like that.
 
No. Drunk Rage posting and PMing the last few days just normally is not you.

You are usually just smug arrogant and untruthful.

Seriously, many of us were worried

I haven't PM'd you since we discussed the bet that you welshed on. And I've never rage posted or posted drunk or been untruthful. The fact that you think that those kinds of accusations are acceptable just because we have political disagreements says more about your character than I possibly can.
 
Nah he's definitely defending it.

Remember when a low life Lounge lizard attacked the little girl being fondled by Biden?

Said her appearance was awkward and she just didn't know how to accept affection

Oh. So you were to intoxicated to realize what you were doing.
 
I think he lost his job, publically humiliated, doxxed essentially. (assuming the facts of this are accurately reprsented in the other thread)

Ok, this is actually an interesting topic. Note: I haven't read all the posts in the thread, and I don't intend to as of now. Take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

I suspect that are a lot of layers to peel about this particular case. There are a couple of things to think about.

First, did the guy do something wrong, or something he should be ashamed of? I think so, but there doesn't seem to be consensus in the thread about it.
Second, did the guy apologize or show remorse for what he did to the woman? If so, was it only after he'd been outed and publicly shamed for it? Or in other words, does he feel sorry about what he did or is he sorry he got caught?
Third, has something like this happened with him in the past?
Fourth, does he have a job where the negative attention would be a liability to his employers? Does he work closely with other women and has he poisoned the well with any future interactions he might have with them?

That out of the way, internet mob justice is pretty toxic, but I don't have a good solution for it. It's largely out of scope for the law. If you knowingly do something wrong, then repercussions are to be expected. Absent of showing genuine remorse for your actions, society is going to use shame as a tool to correct you or others that might try to replicate your behavior. Whether or not it goes too far is subjective.

@kpt018 Nice AV, by the way.

But I found a GIF that I'm going to use to reply to your posts from now on. I thought of it because @Kafir-kun just made a really astute observation about Alan's strange standards for posting topics.

I'll admit the whole debacle with the doxxing is pretty fucked up, ban worthy IMO. And sometimes he overdoes the troll shtick. But come on man, Sketch's roasting of Heretic over that comment about his dad had me cracking the fuck up. That alone makes him one of the better trolls.

JamesRussler was a great troll too when he wanted to be.

Not that weird. I throw my garbage memes in the meme thread and share the real dank ones here.
 
No. He did not pat their asses. He just fondled, rubbed hands/arms over chest. Kissed and smelled hair while fondling

I'm just asking you be consistent with the fake outrage
How am I inconsistent? You're the one arguing about the definition of sexual assault.

I prefer that to lil Kev references, fwiw.

You're still deflecting like crazy. Just own that you're Roger Stone, and if you're gonna be a cuckold, be the biggest and best goddamn cuckold this world has ever seen.

I am saying a man patting an ass did not commit sexual assault. And I will be backed up by the fact he will not be charged for it even though the evil pat is on video

Meanwhile you and others seem to think he did commit sexual assault and i in turn are asking you to be consistent with that definition

How is bringing up you mocking a child being sexually assaulted deflecting? Sexual assault is what is being discussed
 
Oh. So you were to intoxicated to realize what you were doing.

No, I can say definitively that I have not chatted with you since the bet you welshed on (when I gave you the sig you didn't use).

Yet another use for that old joke: "Take my wife...please!"
