The flat tax was held against zero tax in the situations where it helped.

@fauxlaw
You have several times flaunted and thus admitted that you are rich. You don't know what poverty is like to live through.

Taxes should go up, America is far too cruel to its poor vs any other morally concerned well-developed nation.
US should either admit it's a psychopathic powerhouse nation like China and Russia, or it should start getting serious about valuing ethics and not just its economy.

Flat tax obviously supports economic growth because it helps the rich prey on the poor easier. Economic rapid growth is a sign of a country that overvalues that and undervalues how well it treats its poor, don't you get that? Left-wing policies are not about what helps the economy grow fastest, they're about what helps the people live the best lives.

In the team debate I am in with Bearman, we used many sources in our Round 1, that doesn't mean we aren't structure-oriented.

Using a lot of sources doesn't take away from ones obsession with rigid structure in debates. I am not really structure-oriented but I am more oriented towards that than fixating over reliable sources or many of them.

I would say I am definitely more structure based. The thing I do is I even go beyond it because I find the holes in the structure and exploit even that, sometimes by literally forfeiting a Round for strategic alteration of the debate's structure.

Thank you, however I think you should go for it. The irrational bias against me for not caving in to peer pressure is too high in Bullish's eyes. He is from a group in DDO who believe that social acceptance is a higher skill than holding ground and negotiating outing. I know when it's right vs wrong to out, it was an extremely borderline situation where I didn't out as the bulletproof. That would completely be useless as Mafia would properly use their strongman ability on me making me a wasted player. I still see both sides of the argument to outing or not, it's just that emotional stress and not wanting to help Mafia use strongman efficiently led me to hide my role. I stand by what I did, I think town were terrible in that game and will explain myself fully once it's over.

I intentionally let all my themes be interpreted in 2 or more ways. There is no 'wrong answer' as such, just varying degrees of how high you'll score in the 'vibe' section relative to the category. You also will be hindered in other medals on that Round if you chose to intentionally choose a song that had nothing to do with the category.
I don't have an exact weighting but if you choose a really upbeat song for the chill Round, there is no way you get above 16/20 for any of the categories, if you see what I'm saying.

A rap that you think encapsulates hip hop. Not an RnB or Soul song but a rap.

The length to which it fits the category is only seriously factored in when I feel it really DOES NOT fit the category. The scores are nuanced for each of the 6 categories to be slightly higher (out of 20) if it extremely well fits the category.

Deadline is 3 days from now, no strict time.
If you send it and it's Monday the 13th of July in the US, it isn't going to count and the close it is to midnight of the EST Time Zone of Monday the more 'undeniably overdue' it will be but I'll be flexible.

Just PM me your entries on PM on this site, I'm not giving Discord to ppl I don't know as such but those who 'know' me on there already can use it.
I will not be just scoring it based on an 'overall out of 10' with decimal points making it actually out of 100.
I will be splitting up into the following categories:
- Originality (how truly original it is for the era and genre, even if it's mainstream)
- Obscurity (how hard is it to find, how unknown? Not just based on how few views things have, I'll use more research to judge this)
- Aura/Vibe and how it makes me feel. (I do not like to feel too calm or too the opposite. I don't like to feel too sad but a song that makes me cry can actually score high here if it's good at doing it, take a gamble and see what I give)
- Quality of lyricism for the Genre (so mumble rap will score low for hip hop but something just as unlyrical in electronic music may score medium-high)
- Sexiness/pleasure of the Voice and instruments to my eardrum AKA Delivery.
- How relistenable it is (this is not the same thing as how catchy it is because if it's catchy but after a few listens I hate that it's so catchy and stuck in my head, it will only score medium here)
I will score each category out of 20. The highest of each category by Mean Average score will be given a so-called 'medal' while the highest average of those averages will win.
- A song that will blow my mind.
- A song for dancing to.
- A song to chill out while listening to.
- A song with a dark theme.
- A song that makes you involuntarily daydream.
- A song where the vocal artist(s) has/have (an) extremely soothing voice(s).
- A song where the production quality is brilliant.
- A rap that encapsulates the genre which it is.

Not necessarily but he'd have beaten me. The score difference between him and you was not easily overcome in just 1 Round if he didn't choose well.

The Melanie song was a risk, I felt the vibe was kind of your style but turns out I was wrong. No risk, no 'true' reward.
The fact that Press did so well despite the rickroll is impressive.

Go on, explain why you were chosen over me. Explain what the issue you have woth co spriacy theorists is and which members you were referring to.
Answer those and you'll realise why I resent you. You only start polls to mock thise qho agree with the poll's suggestion, you're toxic and tbe little you've done on the site shows to me a very cold and calculating personality. Your profile description is designed to mock any who are confident in their descriptions.

Cain was not Adam's son, the serpent and Eve reproduced to have Cain.
That comparison is accurate and shows even further how complex the storyline is.

ipso-facto, no free-will.
Thank you for this statement, I feel like this entire thread could be deleted and have this post to sum it up.
Even people who believe in free will, don't beieve it's free. They just think it's the realm of spirits that limit it (as opposed to the realm of physics and chemistry).

I like your categories and the effort, it's just that you are not correct about ban frequency or being exact enough on the nuances. A semi-troll is something that isn't 'one type' in the first place. I will help you do this better later on if you are interested.

I have spent time analysing the raps (I know both are 'terrible' in a superficial sense) and I believe that Morgz Mum won on every count.
She had superior flow (despite her flow being terrible), more deep-cutting insults that didn't require a single lie or exaggeration other than saying she'll 'knock him out'.
She also played very defensive, meaning that she let him defeat himself by his aggression towards his own mother. His disses don't entirely apply to his mother overall, for instance he disses her for looking old but whether or not you find her attractive, she looks young for her age.

By the way if Phil Hellmuth isn't godfather, you don't know your poker players.
Phil Ivey could be either alignment but will be an extreme power role,
Dan Negreanu will be a huge town PR.
Won't spoil more, good luck who play.
Okay, I will spoil one thing, Doyle Brunson will be the Sheriff.

@HistoryBuff
History buff got baited by you, let me make it simple; if the healthy herd immunity groups go home to, touch the same surfaces as or even slightly interact with the elderly and vulnerable, it will result in death (unlike with the flu). Also, unlike with the flu, you don't always know you've got it when you're the less-at-risk type.

@Bullish
6 or 9 is the norm in hold'em with the alternative being headsup or 3-man tables.
Where do you play that 10-man is the norm?
'man' is not sexist in this situation, it is poker terminology for how many seats are available in the table and, for single-table sit-n-go, required for them to begin.

The evaluation is flawed because your information comes from sources that either know too little about me, are biased against me or both at once.

Before I begin, there is a song that I know is extremely pleasing to someone of Supadudz's taste (I actually love the hook so much that I like it too), it was borderline but failed to qualify for the 'better ft artist' and the anime reference. The hook is by a computerised vocaloid bot that is regularly featured in animes and even in games too. The Ft. artist was borderline better to the other in flow and pun-quality but the other was superior in his delivery and it all became kind of subjective in terms of who really did 'better'.
The song is: Big Boi - Kill Jill ft. Killer Mike, Jeezy
1. Melanie Martinez - Orange Juice
2. Kanye West - Jesus Walks
3. Jaden - GOKU
4. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Hate Myself for Loving You
5. 21 Savage - a lot ft. J. Cole
This was particularly complex as I had to find a song where the featured artist was blatantly 'superior' to the main one yet the song had to be top tier in spite of the main one's underperformance. I felt that this song brilliantly encapsulated that combination.
6. The Weeknd - The Hills
7. Ludacris - Get Back

I love poker and am good at mafia but this website has a very cliquey group so I may be not allowed here, it's up to you.
I have never gamethrown and when truly put under pressure reveal at least my character or part of my role. I believe rhat poker theory applies to mafia and that to let other blackmail you to reveal your entiee hand whike they revealed none of theirs is a foolish play, no matter how knuckleheaded the town is.
If that's an issue, don't allow me in your game. This doesn't mean I never out day one when pressured, it means I want negotiation and reasoning if you're going to get it out of md.
