Eh. I just hate modern pop.

I hate this song too

Carpenter is no different than any other female pop artist nowadays. Be a hoe, sing about being a hoe, dance like a hoe, and you'll be famous. That's how it is.

see above.

Better link to the song that isn't shit. The link, that is. The song still sucks.

You played fine. But Savant is right. You can continue to be aggressive... anytime someone scumreads you for it in the future, you can just point to this game.

I'd say Death Note, but you've probably watched it. Same with Attack on Titan. Those are also the only tow I've watched, and I've only watched parts of each. I'm not much of an anime guy.

Maybe you have some recommendations for me? fyi I don't like cringe harems or waifu or fanservice shit that some anime have.

Best of luck to ya

I remember he was making an indie game with some friends. Wonder how that turned out...

Makes me wonder what Larz is up to these days

Not sure. Site won't load when I click on it from Google

I wonder if Edeb8 is still running...

"Everything is meaningless without God" - Somewhere in Ecclesiastes

Thank God you were wrong on that last round lol

Is this new account a shila alt?

What specific immigration reforms would you enact if you had total control over all branches of government right now?

Theocratic Fascism?

Game starts July 7 at noon EST (New York City time)

This is for the sake of a couple users who won’t be available until then.

Aight.

LFG

Is that a no, or...? Are you willing to give it another shot?

Debating is gr8

gonna re-ping a few people in the current game

Try to get streamers of all perspectives, not just the big progleft “debate bros”

1. It’s good to have a great diversity of opinions on a debate website.

2. Left-wingers in general tend to be very pro-censorship. Reddit, Tumblr, Bluesky, all good examples. I don’t want this site flooded with pro-censorship retards who don’t respect site culture. Yes I know there will be exceptions, but Mikal and Lunatic seem to be the only ones among the current left on the site.

By getting streamers of many viewpoints (including the progleft), we avoid both problems.

I will note that Vaush, Destiny, HasanAbi, are very easy to destroy in a debate if you can sidestep their gishgallop and catch a few of their many fallacies. They are not skilled debaters, they are skilled actors who look more dominant in debates than they are.

Especially pop. Pop sucks

7777

Speaking of IP laws, don’t care for em

Especially when it comes to patents, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry

AI is about to be a nightmare for the courts when it comes to IP laws

Some AI music channels exist on YouTube.

They’re kinda funny

Anyway that was really fun… def gonna show up for more next week

Game 1 winners: Mafia (Whiteflame, Pie)

Game 2 winners: Mafia (Bullish, Mikal)

Game 3 winners: Mafia (Mharman, Airmax)

For those interested in the results

I understand the sentiment, but imma say no

The thing is, most, if not all of these problems could be avoided if we privatized all education.

Physical removal… how much does it conflict with free speech?

Well, it depends on how disruptive the removed was. For example, if you walking into a room and start shouting over everyone, one could argue you are limiting the free speech if others, thus they have the right to physically remove you.

Sure, it could technically be considered a form of censorship… but it’s preferable to censoring a whole room by shouting over them, derailing conversations, etc

It should be noted that the beliefs of the person doesn’t matter- it’s more about HOW they express those beliefs. Offensive opinions by themselves are not disruptive. Shouting an opinion over everyone else (especially in anger) is disruptive, no matter how spicy or mild an opinion may be

I have question my Christian faith at several points in my life. I remain a Christian.

My style is joining debates, forfeiting rounds because I stop caring about said debate, and tanking my elo as a result.

I could not care less about the MCU at this point. I think it will have a decent opening week and will flop afterward.

GAME WILL START JULY 6 or 7

No lemme check

Lutheran Christian here. Dunno if that’s relevant, but here you go

By Jewish faith, kind of. By genetics, probably.

But when it comes to the theological side of things, I would say no. The nation of Israel was meant to be a nation of priests spread word of God to the nations.

But when Jesus commissioned his disciples, the Jews who did not recognize Him failed to follow their calling. Meanwhile, those that did became the first Christians, and travelled long distances to evangelize.

The true Israelites are the Christians. We are God’s chosen people. Not by genes or some area of land, but by our faith.

With the purpose of the question in mind, no, for the Israelis of today are not God’s chosen people.

That being said, there is debate to be had on if American Christians should involve themselves in conflicts like this, and to what extent. So there is a logical path to believing we are commanded to support Israel- it’s just not the path Ted Cruz takes.

In my personal opinion, I do not think American Christians are obligated to support Israel with our military or its assets.
