    Redefining self-explanatory words.

    Racism means viewing one race as superior or inferior to another, right? Wrong! It means privilege + power! So black people cannot possible be racist against white people! Homophobic means that you're scared of homosexual right? Wrong! It means that you hate them and want them to die...

    How many people is it okay to sacrifice for world peace?

    In a lot of fiction, a recurring character is the villain dictator that want to kill millions of people in order to rule the world. But wait, he has good motives! He wants there to be an end to war, forever. His reasoning is that, if all the earth were united or subjugated under one iron fist...

    If you had a free pass to kill any one person, who would you kill?

    Let's say that the government, the U.N, or even the deity of your choice, gives you a free pass to murder one individual. You have a no-strings-attached license to kill. Nobody will judge you, nobody will try to get revenge. In fact, you might even get praised for it. You are carrying out an...

    What's the minimum amount of money you would sell your body for?

    Let's say there's a group of wealthy people, men and women, that want to have their way with you and do all sorts of weird sexual and non-sexual things with your body. They will, of course, pay you. Everything they do to you will also be freely available on the internet, under your real name. It...

    Merry Holidays!

    What are you scheming this season? What are you happy for? What do you celebrate? Or are you sad? Me, I want to go on a vacation to some hot springs.

    "Your topics are in bad taste!"

    Consider pornography. Most people watch it, but they're scared to admit to it, let alone have discussions about it, even as semi-anonymous posters. Why's that? It could be because they're ashamed of it, so they'd rather not talk about it. It could be that people think that if they openly talk...

    Services Review of Escapist's Journalism

    I wanted to see if The Escapist has returned to doing journalism, since I had already criticized them for abandoning it long ago. Let's see what they (one of them, at least) have to say on the topic of, say, censorship...

    How tough are you?

    On a scale of 1-10, how tough are you? 1 being "I stubbed my toe while watering my spice garden and only cried for 20 minutes" 10 being "I eat nails for breakfast, without any milk" Inspired by Arnox's knife thread, full of tough guys. I'm a 1. Unrelated to how tough we are, I'm pretty sure...

    What is this effect trying to portray?

    It's the first fight scene in The Green Hornet (2011) where Kato runs across the trunk of a car. But there's an effect, where it "stretches out", and instead of just taking one stride and being on the other side, he takes multiple steps across multiple duplicate cars. (timestamped video)...

    BattleBit Remastered

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/671860/BattleBit_Remastered/ It's pretty fun. It's like Battlefield without all the stuff that makes it bad. No frills, just guns, attachments, vehicles, destructibility and character customization. I recommend it.

    A child is dying! Molesting the child is the only way to save its life. What do you do? A) Molest the child, and save its life. B) Do not molest the child, let the child die.

    Why SBMM sucks

    I came upon this "article" about Skill-based- match making (SBMM). It had a subtitle "The debate over SBMM will likely never die". But there's no debate. SBMM is horrible, and I very much doubt that there's any possible argument to the contrary that withstands scrutiny. To illustrate: What...

    Discord is stepping into forum territory

    On a server I recently joined, there are now special forum-like channels that look surprisingly like forums with activity-sorted threads. It's all within the discord application UI, where clocking on a thread opens up posts inside, and then you can add a new one as normal. Interesting to see...

    What, am I just supposed to CONTROL my emotions?! Absurd!

    During a reddit ""discussion"" about 4chan, a user said "Am I supposed to not be mad at someone calling me a slur?" Whether or not you get mad is entirely up to you. Other people do not have control over your thoughts and emotions, you do. They're yours. You choose whether or not you get...

    I have questions about the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago

    Trump is being accused of keeping documents related to the Office of President. The warrant includes "Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021" Allegedly, they carted out 20 boxes of stuff. So, my question is, if Trump having these...

    Bad arguments people make about current events

    I'll use this thread to post bad arguments people make about current events, and the rebuttals to them. The argument: "Anti-vaxxers say 'my body my choice' when it comes to vaccines, but don't say the same thing when it comes to women and abortion. Such hypocrites!" The rebuttal: You...

    There is no regulation in the "marketplace of ideas"

    A market needs regulation in order to function, and for the safety of consumers. When you're buying a product at the store, you can read certain facts about it on the packaging. What's important is that the packaging must not contain lies. A brand of cereal can't claim to cure cancer, restore...

    Real talk: Is it valid to compare vaccine passes to the holocaust?

    I know it's convenient to just grab the easiest comparison that makes your opposition look the worst, and so for both sides, this ends up being nazis. 1/6: "Oh they did a coup just like nazis did!" Vaccine passes: "oh they're asking for your papers just like the nazis did!"...
