Well that is for sure one factor. An addict is an addict. Just trying it once they will go searching. But the thing currently is... which most people don't know. Doctors are the biggest drug dealers in the US of A. Doctors get you hooked onto heroin before you start searching for heroin. Doctors get you hooked onto uppers before you find meth. This is bc drug addicts doctor shop. When i would do it... i had 5 doctors that would give me: 120 norcos 120 vicodin. 60 opana. and 40 xanax. All 5 of them. Norcos, vicodin, xanax sell for 4 dollars a pill... discount to 3 a pill if you buy a lot. Opana would sell for 40 dollars each. Times 5 doctors... you can do the math.You will use the 'they get hold of them anyway' argument maybe?
This is happening bc yeah... good doctors won't prescribe you more bc they can see that you've picked up before. Corrupt doctors don't care. Plus, you would use insurance once to buy them... then buy the rest with cash. And finding doctors that will do this isn't hard either. You can to run down places or in my case ... a lot of foreign doctors, asian, middle eastern, would do it. You just go to them and ask for all of the above. If they said no. You walk out. If they said yes... you just found yourself another gold mine.
So this is how it's happening right now. But if we legalize it and regulate it. We can figure out something that won't allow people to get that many. I thought of a "punch card" or something like that wold work best. Where you get one punch... then you can't get more for a month. Or a credit card specific only to buy them with. You swipe once a month... then you can't get anymore till the next month. Having it as it is right now... it's not working.

You have the same mentality i have and make me feel like i'm doing the right thing by "keeping it until it looks bad." I can get away with this right now:
the top is thinning but the back is bad however... i know my time is almost up but since i shave the sides and back it kinda works for now. But i think i look good with a shaved head so it's not to disheartening. The only thing that's killing me is that i can never go back. I like to have options of when to shave and when to have hair. It sucks only being stuck with one style. I hope you never get hit with it. What is the stats... like 1 out of 5 guys or something. Cross them fingers lol.

I'm talking about this category... and others that would fall under it too like xanax, etc.
Fuck Heroin or Meth though, NEVER doing that shit. Cocaine and Crack are basically my normal personality (I am naturally like I am on coke/crack it is no joke).
I don't go into detail about this part of my life, but let's just say i've been addicted to all of them. Very addicted. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy to go through it's hell. Bc not only is it like demon possession, coming off of them is the exact description of hell.
Btw... i'm not anti-drug. I actually think they should be legalized and regulated. I also believe that is the only way we can get a grip on people becoming addicted to it. If you don't know why... ask and i'll expand on my reasons. I'm a self proclaimed pro on this subject.
In regards to Ghostmane... his music sorta triggers me but i like that lol. I remember that i'm in control.

Not quite. I usually don't like bald heads--I prefer a rich head of hair. Maul was one of the exceptions to the rule.
If the hair is thinning... would you say go for it and shave it off... or try to keep it and style it as creative as you can?

I've done it all except for the hallucinogenic category. I really want to try shrooms bc i've heard some really good things. But i've put drugs behind for several years now due to trying them all above. Drugs are literally demon position. In that analogy i agree with Christians.

I read your profile to ask that question. How can you agree when you put AC second-last. I think you are just Jedi-worshipping bimbo and I'm sad for that. The Sith were actually not the Fascists people say they are, they were Communists and the Jedi were Sharia Law / Ottoman Empire / Al Qaeda depending on which movie and situation.It was Islamic Empiricism vs Communism (which naturally becomes Totalitarian if power structures are what enable the 'clones to feel equal' (the storm-troopers were not clones, they were all different DNA-wise). Fuck it, I won't go into it but trust me. AC was so good. How the hell can you ship Han and Leia more than Anakin and Padme? Just wtf?
Jesus... and the whole time all i'm thinking is Padme is hot and Darth Maul is a badass.

"Watching pornography is peering into hell."
Lol, really? Why are they so good at making hell sound better than heaven?
But in seriousness... really? You can't watch pornography? I mean, the only other way to do it is imagination... if you're single of course. Wouldn't mental rape be worse? You're going to imagine some girl (or boy) that probably doesn't want to be imagined. At least with porn, they know you'll be watching and willingly do for that reason.

You are insulting my definition of hate speech. Which includes insults that offend. Why do i have to use your definition? Plus, i'm talking about an outside source and not what this website defines these things as... in the real world, where people want moderators like this site, with legal consequences to offensive speech... this is a perfect case in point not to allow our society to be tainted with this ridiculousness of giving anyone the authority to decide what is offensive and what isn't. This is a private site... and, sure, you haven't warned anyone off your definition and/or this sites definition... i believe you. But that's not what i'm talking about.

Are you sure? Insults are hate speech... you haven't warned anyone for insults?Per a previous site discussion, restrictions on hate speech have been significantly relaxed. No user has been banned for hate speech, period. Similarly, no user has been warned about hate speech since that previous site discussion.

I really don't think you can convince me and i truly find this idea to be ridiculous and really... i don't want to offend you bc i only have negative things to say.

I've already conceded i don't know what he did... read my last response to BSh and other places... even to you i think. I trust they made a good decision and that he was being malicious. I've laid out what i also don't think is right.... in the things he got in trouble for but not specifically him... in those definitions, what i wouldn't find justified for punishment.

That remark didn't have anything to do with Gold. I'm done defending him. I think i've made myself clear on what i don't think is right to moderate in the definitions of what he got in trouble for. I can only hope you saw it the same way. You said i don't know all of it... and, i will concede that i don't. I just hope 1) that it wasn't influenced and 2) that you heeded and thought through the implications of what i laid out to Castin in the comment above. If you saw malicious activity from him... i agree with your decision.Goldtop was not for hate speech of any kind. Hate speech did not factor into the decision at all.
In regards to the hate speech thing... this site is starting to shape up as a perfect example. I personally don't think you can handle policing people's speech bc i don't think anyone can without bias. People can call me stupid all day and i'll just laugh bc i find it funny... You can call someone stupid once and they're devastated. Who do you side with?

Scratch that... i'm undecided until i see the answer to this from smithereens:
What community powers do you observe this community as having, pertinent to the checks and balances you suggest for mods?
Created:

@Logical-Master
I disagree. Knowing the identity of a reporter is useful in weeding out spam reports, granting mods further ability to focus on stuff that actually matters. If a mod has a vendetta against X user, that user can bring it to the attention of the community as we've seen with the issues that have raised in the past several weeks and get it resolved out in the open.As such, my vote is no.
That's actually a really good thought... i revert back to no. Lol

@Castin
No, if they are just jerks or mean spirited... i don't think that warrants punishment. If they are being malicious then yes they should be warned and go through further consequences if they don't stop. I can give examples, but i don't want to through people under the bus. Mean spirited would just be someone unsympathetic to your views and think they're stupid. Malicious would be intended to harm you. Not just that the idea is stupid, but that you are intellectually handicapped extra to just your idea being stupid. It's attacking the person vs. attacking the substance of whatever they disagree with. When attacking the person you can get malicious. When attacking the substance you can only be mean-spirited. It's that's a delusional idea vs. you are delusional get help. And still then it only requires warning not to attack the person but if it continues, then i would think appropriate moderation is necessary.It sounds like you're saying that we should accept bad behavior as long as the bad behaver is being who they are.
But we most certainly shouldn't ban people just bc they are bitter people. Many times people fail empathy back. It's all me, me, i got offended b.s. But no one thinks maybe this person is in a personal hell and that's why they are bitter. Usually bitter people have their own problems. In any case, i don't think if someone is a jerk, that makes them worthy of getting banned. Of course with the top mentioned being considered.
It also strikes me as strange to define harassment as ignoring someone. Or did you mean harassment is when they aggressively respond to your posts without acknowledging any of your points or providing any counterarguments?
Your second sentence is correct and what i mean. Harassment should mean someone that goes around and literally harasses you without any substance to their responses. Now, i got a little up and arms about Gold bc i wouldn't be able to confidently say he didn't break this rule.. but the thing i've noticed about him is that he tries not to go overboard and it's usually the result of arguments or insults slung back at him. But, enough about him... i'm really done defending him which is sad... just bc he isn't one of my favorite people i'll just give up on it. Plus, from what it sounds like... he knew he was doing wrong.
In regards to what you are saying... i don't think it is harassment if someone decides to reply to you the most. Yeah... it could be bc they don't like you and your ideas. But so what? We're on here to be rebuked unless someone is delusional enough to think everyone is going to agree with them. Someone may like me less... and target my ideas. Good. The harder someone disagrees with me the more creative i have to get in explaining myself. I mean, people like Gold have actually made me better .. i can't think of anyone i agree with making me better. Etrnl kinda... but we both believe the same stuff... i don't learn that way.
And last point, when they said they told him not to talk to people on this forum... i just don't get that. What are people like him suppose to do? People that are generally skeptics and harsher in their rebuke... what are they suppose to do when the mods tell them they can't talk to anyone? You can't talk to A, b, c, d, e, f, user... you can only talk to Outplayz bc everyone else doesn't like you... i mean common, really? As long as the conversation is minimally substantive and it isn't just random rude remarks... we are all on a public forum and are choosing to put ideas, sometimes radical, on these forums... You're going to be criticized. I just see very little empathy for the side that is being reported on. It seems like mob rule to me right now. The crybabies all getting their way... that just makes zero sense to me. Life is hard, there are mean people in this world... stop hiding and step up and justify yourself and be confident in your ideas ...if it gets no where... instead of being offended, know it's the other person problem. Or, rework and grow yourself. You learn very little from agreeable people.

Are our bodies and brains a limiting device to filter out aspects of awareness?Did God do this to give us the experience of not knowing everything?
Nice. I have to search through the threads more often instead of looking at the top ones. This is an interesting question. The question to this question for me always was why? Right. If there is reincarnation or if we were alive before this place... why would our awareness of our previous selves have to be limited. In regards to reincarnation, if we remembered our previous selves... we would be getting better and better so it's advantageous to remember. In regards to being in some kind of god reality... it would also be better if we knew so life wouldn't be as hard and scary when it ends.
The main things against it are many more however. If we knew we are immortal, reincarnating, that there is another reality besides this, our reality wouldn't matter. If you knew when you die you go somewhere else, why would you stick around here. This is curious in and of itself, but if the place we go is worse than here, then for sure we'd want to remember. But since we don't, it hints that the place beyond this is better (with caveats) so we don't know. I imagine if we did, we would commit suicide as soon as life becomes hard.
Then, if we also add the implications of my belief to this... we can't know our previous lives bc our previous lives are probably worlds different than our life here. I favor fictional realism, so i believe in other lives you've had you could be anything... a cartoon reality, some kind of beast, some kind of talking bird... whatever. So in this life, if we remembered that... it would be too confusing and quite frankly i think would also lead to suicide bc i would know i can be anything when i die... so why stick around here.
And these are just a few scenarios. I think there are a lot more scenarios to which knowing a life before this life would be a detriment to our current experience. Your current experience is to be you, a human, on this earth. To get the full experience, this should be the only reality you know to be true. I use a zombie analogy for this. If and when we learn how to download your consciousness, let's say it's into a zombie reality. If you download and know you are in such a reality... you wouldn't be afraid, you would probably get sick of it at some point and want to come out, etc. But if you download into it not know... you will fight with everything you got... only then would that truly be a zombie reality experience. Same as what i think is going on now. Interesting thing is i think people that are spiritual allowed themselves to remember just a little bit vs atheists that likely didn't want to remember at all. If you think about it, both have different experience due to this knowing and awareness.

See... this is what i hate about having anything to do with flat earth. When there is clear evidence it's always 'fake, an assumption, wrong, non-existent, false etc. etc.' When the whole idea can only be justified by saying everything else is false... it makes the idea wholly contingent on ignorance and not only that... it's actually quite insulting to a person's intelligence. My next proof happened to do with the pull gravity... That if it was flat gravity would pull everything to the center, but now i know you'll say gravity is fake too. This isn't the sort of conspiracy theory i find attractive.The Moon is not the Earth. The assumption that the Moon is the same kind of thing as the Earth is just that; an assumption.

I think the next war will happen once one of the countries figures out a perfect defense to nuclear weapons. Once you can take those weapons off the table... it's all go ahead. I think every country is working on a defense against nuclear strikes. Once someone figures it out, and it's 99% reliable, than say hello to a new war. Well, unless USA figures it out first.

@Stephen
Yeah Stephen, that is mainly what i am disliking about moderation on this site... everything you just said and your concerns. And it doesn't seem like moderation has an ounce of humility so they will make excuses for their behavior whatever you point out. "It's new now" "it's a threat" etc. etc. Even if you tell them otherwise. I completely understand what you are saying and nothing you have done is warning worthy. This site is giving power to the 'mass reporters' ... the snowflakes that get offended at every corner and report people left and right. That is who this site is giving power to and i find that to be disgusting and sickening. Since i've known Gold for so long... i know exactly how he acts. And yes... it's annoying being someone spiritual myself going against him. But what i have always noticed about Gold is he seem to consciously not go overboard into being malicious, just annoying. That's why i just don't understand. You are even more perfect an example bc from the stuff you said... you shouldn't have any warning to begin with. Like i said, this site is giving power to the snowflakes bc i imagine mods themselves are snowflakes. It is really annoying. I can't wait for the day someone complains about my avatar that it's triggering and they tell me to take it down... it's just a matter of time and i wouldn't put it past them to do so. The mods are killing this site and Mike isn't seeing it. In this case, Gold may have gone overboard if he was warned to stop talking to someone... but even then... we are on forums to criticize other people's views and debate them. If everyone said tell Outplayz not to talk to me... so what then? I can only talk to people that agree with me? That's just laughable and these mods don't get it.

"On top of that, why is it that they say the Earth is a pear? "
Tyson was just saying that... not that it's exactly like a pear. He was talking about it very specifically that it's not round... i.e. it's not a perfect circle, which makes sense since it's a big rock. Everything else you asked me i have no clue what you mean if you don't get more specific. I mean, we just had a lunar eclipse... did you look at the moon? Was it a flat shadow or was it a round shadow? I saw a round shadow personally. And that's just one proof against it.

It's bc the earth is huge. Your eye site can only see so far. The earth is like triple the distance your eye can see. So, it will always look flat to a human, even on a plane.
The first point was deceptive when it showed the 3 images of earth and said... look they are all different and something about the size of the American continent. Well... obviously they're going to be different if it's different cameras from different angles and distances. And even if it's the same camera, after time the quality could change. Or even maybe yeah... they touched the photo up depending on what the photo was used for. People do touch photos up in photoshop before they release them to certain magazines or whatever.
