  1. Really gross that not wearing a mask (aka, being stupid) is considered a sign of “strength,” “freedom,” and “American” by the cult-right.

  6. Why is it that in video games you can usually fall a few stories and take no damage but in real life just 10 feet will break you :stressed:.

  7. Until last year, I didn't know Juneteenth existed. Now I do. It must be a holiday.

  9. My dad is freaked out now because he claims he heard voices in my mom's room while my mom and I were out and about walking.  

    I'd honestly say he's just hearing things, but I've heard the same thing in my mom's room before while I was the only one there. Sounded like just people chattering, but I couldn't make out the words.   It freaked me out so bad that I went outside and waited for someone to get back home lol.  

    Really just hope we're all psyching ourselves out lol.  My dad hearing it too is not helping that at all, lol.

  10. Hello, I'm not very active pony today because I'm at my grandfather's condominium. Grandmother left to check their old house. It had been a one week since Grandfather took surgery to the chest and to the stomach so I had to guard him today to make sure he doesn't do anything funny. 

  11. Just listened to a Sam Harris podcast that opened my eyes a little bit on the issue of the protests:

     

     

    He's one of the first people I've come across to legitimately want a real conversation on the real issues here. He makes a few interesting comments that actually seem to be very realistic but aren't the story that always comes across. You can get the gist of what he'll say by about the 20-30 minute mark, but he goes into detail on that take later.

     

    He presents the idea that, actually, race is nowhere near as big of a part of the current issue with policing as BLM presumes, while of course coming to the sensible conclusion that Trump's reaction to this is also complete divisive lunacy. Of course nobody will want to listen to that point of view, though.

     

    I realized that my stance on the issue was being a bit too influenced by being a part of my own minorities of gender identity and sexuality, as well as potentially being part of the autism spectrum. However, I also did find a few things he got wrong, and I'm not going to say there is no racism, because that's plainly untrue and the statistics he recites in this (nearly 2 hour long) podcast show such.

     

    What I WILL say is we should STOP sensationalizing this issue, liberals and the right (especially the further reaches of the right) alike. Sam Harris makes a very logical assertion saying we should treat skin color like we treat hair color. Like it makes no difference to much of anything whether you have blonde or brown hair. The same should apply to the color of a person's skin. Which was exactly what MLK advocated for in the 60's, not this idea that blacks should be more equal than whites.

     

    But there's also a lot more to this issue to unpack that quite frankly would turn into a novel. Like how blacks make a tenth of what whites make on average, or how blacks are more likely to use drugs than whites and therefore get affected more than whites would by the War on Drugs (in a negative way, of course), or also how, in all actuality, statistics show that black and hispanic cops are more likely to have a violent confrontation with a black suspect than white cops are.

     

    If you take anything out of this essay-length status let it be this: the issues of policing and racial inequality are very likely MUCH more complicated than you think regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, and both sides of this discussion are doing immense amounts of harm here. There needs to be an actual conversation here, though of course both sides must make concessions for it to be even possible, like the right needs to concede that the police aren't always right and also to concede that racism indeed exists against blacks, while the liberals need to concede that this is no epidemic and police brutality isn't a race issue. If you can't just compromise and listen to reason, then you're too far gone and there's nothing anybody could say to bring you to sane conclusions. I once again say this to both liberals and the far right and the real left (Kyle Kulinski, Bernie Sanders, etc.) also.

     

    TL;DR: Stop sensationalizing this issue and actually think about how it needs to be fixed. Stop being overtly racist for the sake of it, and also stop sensationalizing the issue of racism to the extreme it has been sensationalized, but instead start a honest conversation (of course allowing such by taking necessary concessions). That's the only way to fix this. And an extra note to the right: peaceful protests whether you like them or not, are protected twice over by the first amendment.

  15. So, Tuesday's game... Did we get a winner, winner, chicken dinner?
    ...Nope! :ButtercupLaugh: But two people got close! @Prince Doopliss & @Bastian! Also, @Stone Cold Steve Tuna gets the award for awesome TV show knowledge. B)

    Well, that's it for tonight. Next week, we'll be playing another round of Real or Fake, Nightmare Night Edition. I'm all ready having dreams about it~

  16. What the flying fuck?!

    So I got a tooth removed today. It happens that damn thing broke and then got infected and shit.

    Ah, but to remove it they had to cut part of the bone and that thing was so daaaaaamn freaking hard... it took the dentists 2 hours to cut a little piece just to be able to take away the tooth. And it hurts like hell right now that the anesthesics wore off.

    AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! :Cozy:
