Going to be another brutal summer for much of the US it appears...

Im all for banning persistent pricks though.

Antiquated as this may seem to many of us moderns, we have yet another option here:

Ignore the squeals of Milo Yiannopoulos-esque pigs, who are clearly out to do nothing more than draw attention to themselves, by acting like fools in front of the cameras. Such folks gaining traction is predicated on those they're targeting getting triggered by whatever bile they're spewing

I have to say, you guys have a strange way of determining what's considered political and what isn't. The post about fapping to Alexandra Cassio Cortez is not considered political and is allowed to stay. The post you made about the House passing a bill to ban Tik Tok is also apparently not political (for reasons that I'm having difficulty comprehending). However, my post showing a funny video of female politicians acting like children was immediately deleted and got me a 10 day suspension. So what's the test? Political discussion is okay as long as one of the mods does not hold a personal grudge against you?

If you cannot tell that the Ocasio-Cortez thread is about sexual attraction and not political affiliation and therefore is not subject to the “no political talk” rule I cannot explain it to ya Bo.

Yea she’s a politician, but it the thread is about her f-ability, not her politics.

The fact you cannot tell the difference or chose to ignore it is very telling, all on its own.

Why not make a thread about moderation and not hijack this one? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject!

"Oh God, let's hope this forum doesn't get 'cancelled'."well looking on the bright side of that it would push some of the Guys who spend their life on here,to get out and live a little.

Yeah when did red pill become anti-science, anti-law and order, Alex Jones subscribed mental incompetence riddled blokes?

What an immature reply. The moment you tried to strawman with Alex Jones and all that other anti-callout, I knew it was bs.

He's right about what he said. We talk about being better men who work on our own and do not let the feminine world influence us, but then you have people like yourself that march to the voice of the very people that created the state of weak men and feminist women today.

Just like religion, science has become completely political. What was considered scientifically proven decades ago is deemed heretical today. For example, it wasn't so long ago that there was widespread scientific consensus about innate differences in intellectual ability between individuals of difference races. Another example is homosexuality, which was classified as a mental disorder in most western countries as late as the 1980's. And then one day, as if by an act of magic, it became a "normal" thing. The science has not changed but the politics have. These days, you would get instantly "cancelled" for saying something that was widely accepted as unassailable scientific truth less than century ago. And I wouldn't be surprised if a few decades from now, anyone who talks about "anthropogenic climate change" would be deemed a dangerous lunatic and treated accordingly.

Read The Fiat Standard book and it will explain where all this wasteful science comes from.

There are some things I align with the wingnut on, but he’s a shock jock, and way off in conspiracy world 99.9% of the time. You’re entitled to your opinion broheem.

p.s. can I get a side of fries with my Bilderburger?

His post literally was:

We all miss the days when The Red Pill was simply short hand for "Don't be the sort of moron who just blindly buys into everything you see, hear, and read. Dig into that s-it for yourself"

Then you strawmanned a valid point that he was making about the fearmongering that I see several culprits do on this forum, specifically in the Anything Else subforum. For some reason, the tips we give on how to navigate the world of women suddenly shouldn't be used for navigating the other parts of the world also affected by women:

• increased marketing to women
• increased attention to women's needs
• more emotional decision making
• fear of security (a female trait)
• lack of stoicism and calmness (if men ruled the world, covid would have been ignored)

And a bunch of other things. That's why I see all this as feminine as sh*t. Cause it is.

For example, it can be true that climate science has been riddled with false panics and unfulfilled prophecies, but also that modern man affects the climate in a way that's detrimental to his own survival. It can also be true that some science is proven incorrect over time and other studies are proven correct. Still others can be undecided.

Of course science changes over time and sometimes scientists are wrong and yes even admit it. That's the idea.

Exactly. Science is generally about trying to test and prove things wrong. So it’s a bit weird that people who hate science always point to past conclusions that were eventually proven wrong. That’s the whole point!

It becomes a law when it appears to not be unproven. I.e. planetary motion, thermodynamics, newton, etc.

You are one of the biggest contrarians and argumentative people on this board. It’d be a major shocker to see you ever acknowledge a differing opinion from your own.

And now you’re claiming that we have 800,000 yrs of ice samples that backs up your genius level of knowledge of man’s extreme impact on earths climate? Or sorry thats 799,800 yrs of ice samples?

Yes.

NWS has just released their hurricane forecast and it's has the highest forecast for "named" storms since they have been doing it with 39 forecast...

A named storm is any tropical storm or higher with sustained winds 39 mph or stronger.

I learned recently that they 'quietly' lowered the standards for named storms, hurricanes etc. Have you heard about this?

Last year was supposed to be a record year for storms, but I believe it let the forecasters down.

You should be more worried about our politicians starting a nuclear war

Yes.

Meteorologists can barely predict the week ahead, and you expect me to believe their decade long predictions?

How about you go back and look at the scientists' predictions from 35 years ago lol

Doom and gloom is good for their business. Always has been.

You should question anyone that makes a living off of making predictions.

Science once said that dietary fat and cholesterol were bad for you and that you should eat a high carb diet lol...

...Oh yeah, sunscreen and deodorant, the things we recommend everyone use, may actually lead to cancer

...those pesticides we said were ok, yeah, they probably cause cancer

...studies now show that plastic particles are in your testicles. How long before they learn it leads to cancer

Oops, my bad. Science!

 

[Vending Machine Veteran]

The problem is many of you can't hold competing thoughts in your head. It's common with humans as they would rather be "right" than think critically or consider other possibilities. Too much ego investment.

For example, it can be true that climate science has been riddled with false panics and unfulfilled prophecies, but also that modern man affects the climate in a way that's detrimental to his own survival. It can also be true that some science is proven incorrect over time and other studies are proven correct. Still others can be undecided.

I'm not religious, but it's obvious to me that as belief in a higher power has dwindled amongst the masses, new religions have been created. Science being one of them; equalism another.

People have "faith" in the science. They believe their prophets, and will not hear otherwise, because science has the ultimate say...

Until it's ultimately proven wrong, which it often is. But the believer will find justifications for it. As they always do.

Meteorologists and climatologists are not the same.

Science once said that dietary fat and cholesterol were bad for you and that you should eat a high carb diet lol...

They are, and you should eat predominantly carbs as your largest macro. That hasn’t changed.

You clearly don’t understand science. Who concluded that these probably cause cancer? What method did they use to determine? Who created the method?

Who concluded that commercial pesticides cause cancer?

Or who concluded that ingredients in sunscreen and deodorant cause cancer?

Or are you asking about the micro plastics in your body?

Be specific

And be sure to look up those "climatologists" predictions from the late 80s, early 90s

I was pointing out how irrational your greivance with science is. The people who conclude any of these can potentially cause cancer are scientists using the scientific method. It is a scientist job to research and test. Scientists are the ones proving each other wrong. The people bvtching about science being wrong are not doing anything other than bvtching about not liking the results.

Ok, bro

"You're right. Maybe carbs shouldn't be my main source of sustenance"

Do you think?

A research paper does not care about some yokel's personal beliefs. The new cult leaders are dopey politicians and media types who love outrage, most of the general public couldn't name a scientist or study. If your argument is that people are mostly ignorant, I agree.
