Settle an argument: Let's say you hold one end of a long, transparent tube on one side of a room and the other end on the other side of the room. Fill the tube with water (not all the way). If you hold a string taut from the water level at one end to the water level at the other end, will the...

Well done, a_skeleton_03. You made this thread palatable.

Phazael: "It takes someone almost as little time to recognize your posting "style" as it does a Tanoomba alt, at least when someone is looking for it." Again, those weren't my alts. You're not as clever as you seem to think you are.

Gerb, you too can feel free to enlighten me.

Does it really, Cad? Please, enlighten me: What do you think you know about me because I live in Quebec? Palum: "Had another two dumb interactions today at work that just underline my hatred of constant offense hypocritical SJW land. There's this pervasive "I have to complain about...

I made no mistake. I was never close to angry. Your snark is misplaced.

Heh. Read the last few posts and see who was giving off "mad" vibes. (Hint: It wasn't me.)

Renegade Ops was a fun game. A modern day Jackal.

Lith: "You're right, Tanoomba, I wasn't actually addressing anything being said. I'm gonna be a dick about it anyway." At least we're on the same page now.

Dude, I've understood what you're saying since the first of 37 times you've said it. You're making a point every single person on this board agrees with. Nobody here has claimed rape prevention knowledge is "victim blaming". You're preaching to the choir, only you're presenting this unanimously...

Dumar: "But this idea that they're afraid to come forward for fear of something, fear of being ostracized or ridiculed doesn't hold water. They're celebrated when they come forward, the crime actually being done to them or not." Holy shit Dumar, really? Really? Here's an article written by...

Dumar: "To me false rape claims should be a form of fraud, just like false insurance claims." Indeed they should. Unfortunately, just like ACTUAL rape claims, false rape claims are notoriously difficult to prove.

DMK: "A chick literally just got praised world wide for reporting rape then had absolutely zero repercussions from the law when it was found she was lying." It was never found she was lying about the rape.

Dumar: "No one would listen to Anita unless someone threatened her first, so she had to produce those threats." Are you implying everything that happened is part of some grand master plan? Seems to me she was happy as a pig in shit just making videos about a topic that interested her. It...

No doubt.

Here's all I remember from Home Ec: - I had to make an article of clothing. I chose to make a pair of shorts. I chose a green fabric. I don't think I ever finished them. - For a cooking project I was partnered with a girl I had a huge crush on. She made pancakes or something at some point...

Lith: "But even when you see clear benefits of training women how to spot and avoid dangerous situations, what do you get? The classic line of "victim blaming"--as if we shouldn't expect women to understand and realize there are predators out there, because admitting that means we don't have a...

a_skeleton_03: "If only the people in charge of this joke took things even remotely serious. If only we weren't lead to believe that no matter what we said it was going to be ignored for a weekend at the very least so that Mario can print it all out and jerk off with it covered in peanut butter...

Big Phoenix: "Actually yeah it is. If the punishment for falsely accusing someone of a crime was the punishment for said crime and actually enforced gaurenfuckingtee you that shit would drop to near zero over night." Except for the majority of cases where there isn't enough evidence to prove...

Also, I guess I missed something, but how are SJWs responsible for false rape accusations?

Sorry, a_skeleton_03, I tried. Now you see why I self-censor.

Dumar: "How about the feels of accusing someone of rape, ruining a guy's life, and getting media attention and fame in the process, at no detriment whatsoever once the claims are proven false? How about those feels?" When did this happen? GavinMad: "You idiots going on about the...

Mist: "Thinking this 'SJW menace' is a real force in the real world is a symptom of living on the internet. While I agree these people are absurdly stupid+crazy and find their antics and motivations to be hilariously hypocritical, their circles of influence are incredibly tiny. They actively...

I don't know if I've ever set anybody straight on anything. I have, however, greatly enjoyed pointing out when people here display the exact same characteristics as the subjects of their scorn. The "fun factor" is pretty much what keeps me going.

I offer to speak in defense of a_skeleton_03. Dude has been shit on in the past for lousy reasons and he always put up with it with grace and dignity. He made a significant effort to explain what led to his current RRP status and, unless anyone has any information contradicting anything he...

Himeo: "I get the same vibe here. Not sure what it is, but people don't appreciate what I have to say." Cognitive dissonance, dude. Nobody likes to have their closely-held views challenged, and if they have a support group of like-minded individuals ready to start a bullying and shaming...

I dunno. I like to think there are people who like me, particularly people I know IRL. I guess there's something about my online persona that rubs a certain type of people the wrong way. Mist: "Itz is sorta right, it's a lot more like Brave New World, except in Brave New World, most...

Himeo: "Tanoomba, real talk, are you a troll?" Nope. You?

Agraza: "She can even lie about why she's doing it or just be wrong about it. It doesn't change where it came from, just what it means to her." Interesting that this statement (which I agree with) parallels part of the debate surrounding the confederate flag. Mist: "Everyone on every...

Skanda: "A new challenger appears! Or another Tanoomba alt... " "Another"... heh.

DelicateFlower: "Have you guys ever considered that wearing a hijab is often the woman's choice. Like, she had to make a conscious decision about wether or not to wear it. Which some freaks will likely call freedom." I took a class with a Muslim girl who generally preferred to keep her head...

Ah. See, I was confused because, as a gamer, I never shit on anybody's high school memories at all. I did, however, quite enjoy Gone Home. Not sure where all of Khorum's bitterness is coming from.

Khorum: "It's like how everyone knew Gone Homo was gonna about be about bluehair dykes the minute Sleater Kinney started playing on the soundtrack. Then their SJW cronies on Polygon got on their gay ass podcast and raged because gamers were shitting on their cherished high school memories of...

OK, so I'll preface by saying that I was an idiot in this story. So I realized, at some point, that paying 30 bucks a month for a land line seems like an extravagant expense for something I rarely make practical use of and mostly use for receiving scam phone calls. After much time had passed...

Lith, The only reason this argument is even happening is because you apparently don't grasp the meaning of "blacked out" drunk. I never said I didn't believe the guy's story. He never claimed to be unconscious, the girl never claimed he was unconscious, and the investigators never claimed...

Bisi: "From what I can tell, Chung-Li's tits are what makes the earth maintain it's rotation." Goddam it Bisi, it's stuff like this that makes me forgive anything else you could possibly do. I LOLed!

Gerb: "Tan, I believe we would both self identify as feminists. Yes? I know I do. However, for me, I see a fairly clear line in the sand bewteen different 'sects' of feminism. I feel as though the realtively modern labels 2nd and 3rd wave are fairly accurate descriptions of this line. In a...

You figured me out. Actually, I had an unexpected internet-related crisis that likely won't be resolved for another 3 weeks (at my friend's house now). Figures this would happen during the Steam Summer Sale and while I'm negotiating what my work schedule is going to be next year. Jimmies...
