That's cute. It's all sovereign like Texas wanted to be when Abe blackmailed the Confederate States to stay part of the US.
All Sovereign really means is neither a good or a bad thing, what it means is in the past some bullies out bullied the other bullies and claimed it as their land. I'm not trivialising a big issue, I am seeing a big picture rather than a microscope image.

Honestly as someone who sucked at sports it came with great irony for me to realise as a grown man that the best lessons I learned in school were from fucking PE. Knowing how to land without hurting your ankles and knowing the correct way to lift things and throw etc actually remain useful throughout quite a few situations in life.

I believe that cancel culture can only ever be countered by further cancel culture.
I thusly understand and surrender to the idea of censorship on any platform and hope to wage war against one side of cancel culture by pressuring it to censor itself and be weary of the other side's wrath.
I see it as a balanced tug of war, not a pendulum, in its optimal state.

I vote yes. I been watching a lot of alien shit on youtube recently and got some questions.
There is no way to consider this as a genuine vote due to him not specifying which he voted for.
Ancient alien theory in fact covers both categories.
Created:
- One VOTE per PERSON, please.
- Duplicate VOTES will be disregarded.
- No requests to change VOTE after submission will be considered.
- Any indication of multi-accounting will be referred to MODERATION
- Please help promote voting clarity by limiting posts to VOTING ONLY using roughly this format:
- YES or NO
- YES or NO
1. No
2. Yes
^ This was not edited, I edited for spelling. There is no rule about editing anyway.
Idgaf about your voting clarity, that's not a binding rule.
I vote no to 1 because there will inevitably become major problems later on when mods forcibly recategorise things as conspiracy theories and also when non-believers make threads inside it about things that most who believe in do not see as a conspiracy theory.
I am certain it is a bad move.

Liberal Democrats should be the majority left wing party of England and Wales, Labour veers too much towards Socialism amongst its core (yes, core, not fringe) base. SNP dominating Scotland is fine and inevitable for the foreseeable future, they should just coalition upon a viable majority.
I also believe that despite this, many should vote Labour instead, to defeat the Conservatives in the unfair seat system.

Then go and live in China or stfu with you constant whining and moaning.
China treats its citizens as right-wing and psychopathic as it can, it is called left-wing because it chooses to bastardise the term.

Officially you could vote against them just had to vote on their debate for the credit. Unofficially, the idea rarely involved clashes where votes for or against both were optimal.
It lost steam because simply too few actively participated in it and Mikal and his friends kept at it so you joined in or had to befriend noobs fast. Either way, it became tit for tat voting on DDO, no matter what anybody says.
Created:
For those confused, what was tried on DDO was a scheme where if you voted on people's debates, others would 'owe' you votes as in there was a currency developed for a while on a scheme I think Bsh1 or bluesteel headed, it may have been Lunatic as TUF.
The scheme incentivised people to vote on debates with one very active, popular debater, come up with shallow reasoning to vote for him (or her) and get voted for in return later.
Mikal was the most astute to the scheme and floated on it for literally 2-3 years and had some talent at rap battling (which for him was just bullshitting as in he'd lie about you to win and just be 'mean' in ways he knew the majority found mean) and floated like that. He became the site's highest rated debater because even after the scheme died down many maintained the tit for tat mentality, won't name names, just observe who kept voting for him and how he voted on their debates.

I decided to present my thoughts as a rap, to stay true to the gang culture/mentality that would ensue.
Beat/instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogtUCwWmIeI
Want to debate? Then vote, vote against me I'm coming for your throat,
Vote for me and I'll stick to the code,
Never admit why we do it, bullshit 'n' stay afloat,
Any motherfucker cocky voting 'gainst us in a boat'll understand that we are dolphins to the shark once they're in the water we'll drown intruders in the moat,
It's not about debating, it's about elo-inflating,
Vote to debate, vote right or you get branded as Satan,
Oromagi gets mad and says 'don't you dare vote against me if you blocked me' while waitin',
Silent little punk killin' rating's without repayment,
We all think that it's passive, we all think the higher road gets taken,
What I think is fantasies need a big bad wolf to blow down houses, utopia's painting's wet 'n' breakin',
All the highest rank debaters'll get to tradin' votes and sailin',
All the naive fools won't stick to the script, they'll assume this is a new idea and that bans'll get handed to those that excel at evadin',
I've seen Mikal rise on DDO by this exact mentality so please trust me when I'm sayin' I know how this goes; tit for tat game and you're either perishing or playing.

Poetry in imagery
Let's not get finickety,
This here is an image we perceive to needless degree,
What is its meaning?
What's its plea?
What proof is there that it's guilty?
What ethnicity?
What prejudice?
To judge upon the precipice,
Declare it not guilty,
Unanimous,
Jury unhung,
That's fabulous
Defense has sung,
Noone's wing flapping less,
Breathe air into lungs,
Free man's happiness.

Would increase grudge voting happening, if you ask me based on what I've seen in the past when voting gets encouraged, gang mentality and tit for tat voting would occur too.

Axiomatically reality has to have an immovable, irrevokable entity at its core.
Atheists are drinking the kool-aid if they think reality has no entity or machine at its core, whether we call it a god or not.

The US was founded on pillaging, slavery and even after Abe (who was extremely racist still btw) freed the slaves, the US became oligarchic, ruthlessly owned by the rich white (male) land owners and CEOs.

- The undeniable fact is that I've shown RationalMadman far more respect and deference than he has earned or deserves, certainly more than RationalMadman has ever offered any of his fellow DARTers.
That is cleverly constructed emotional abuse. Either you respect me or you dont, I respect my fellow darter as much as they show others genuine respect and earn respect from me.

If you tell the console or if it is PC then just the genre and type of games he enjoys, it would be easier to recommend.
A lot of stuff these days that is super popular is free to play and you pay for cosmetics and faster or exclusive upgrades within the game itself (it is interactive).

Gaslighting me is serious btw. For anyone co nfused, what Oromagi is doing is full blown gaslighting, it is why he forgets to notice how he voted me to sabotage my rating maliciously and when I caught it him faking an rfd he admitted he fabricated it and insulted my debating ability while fixing it, tweaking it to match the actual arguments, ignoring over 80% of my rebuttals and constructive (he originally ignored 100% and said I argued something else that proves he skimread it with an agenda). I told him, as this is the second time he has maliciously voted against me based on bs reasoning in recent times that if he wants to do it to me, I see it and he can be ready for that war.
The way he treats me there, insulting me, humiliating me and making me seem like a laughing stock that is insane, is how he has treated me repeatedly and why I blocked him.

Oromagi, you are the aggressor between us. The deluded one is you.

@3RU7AL
Thanks for the help, my mind has been expanded.
Blocking stops people spreading lies about you and punishes them for abusing you, got it. (sarcasm)
Regardless, I achieved what I wanted with this thread, the snivelling coward can do what they want, I'm ready for any level of drama just don't appreciate someone saying what they said to me when they are too spineless to face me in a thread and continue the abuse. They could abuse others, I will tell mods about them and let it be, if others have received abuse from a user or rumours about me, it's best they be aware that someone here is doing that and be on guard as the user fronts as friendly and trustworthy at first.
Created:
Maybe stop being a whiny little bitch?
Just one thing, I invite anybody yo go to your profile and read the tone in your forum posts and even debates and ask who the whiny little bitch is between us.
Created:
The main issue is this user's pattern of abuse will lead the user to tell others lies about me to try to get more dirt, which is how they tried to bond with me and then abuse me simultaneously bu gossiping about others. I am curious what protocol there is regarding how to fight back against it. I am aware of a weakness in the rules if I privately discuss the user with others.
Created:
That describes the user quite well actually. As for your notion that all victims deserve their abuse, we will have to agree to disagree. That definitely did not answer the question.

Please let me know what to do.
Created:
Due to callout thread rules and PM doxxing rules, I am unsure what to do. That is why I made this thread, PM me to find out who it is and what was said.
If a user goes around telling you bad things I said about you, know it is a lie and that the user tried to do it with me and it failed miserably.

I am not even remotely am example of the backfire effect.
In this world, the label narcissist is used too freely to describe anyone who had to love themselves to cope with trauma such as from assholes such as yourself that seek to tear us down.
So, I would rather be called a narcissist than a moron, which are the options you gave me.

His prison may be federal prison and honestly idk why all prisons aren't federal since privatised prison is making prison into a business model...
Even if I drop the point, though he was certainly not handled by FBI more than state police of New York, I don't understand what youa re saying about the case being cracked.
Epstein's corruption was with judges and such that he had dirt on, the FBI had been after him for over a decade and have, despite his suicide, been trying their level best to uncover any clues to present trafficking (this part is public knowledge), of course I can't know based on evidence (known or unknown to the public) what and if I did it would be absolutley illegal and immoral for me to reveal it.
I do not understand what you want from me exactly. I am not an anarchist and don't support a policeless state, I am all for reform of police but never got behind the 'defund' movement.

Gender is a private decision, you say?
Then why is it them forcing the others to publicly acknowledge their chosen gender?
It is trans people who made it a public issue, nice try though.

How did epstein end up? You're actually helping the FBI defend why it's important to have guys like him in their custody instead of simply New York state custody.
