Alright. Clarify for me when to use (value) == (value) vs (value).Equalsto()

One of many mysteries.

Remember Me? Real Murky memory there... Oh you do? Nice.
Feel free to listen to this theme tune as you indulge:

I am so sorry for the dull travesty that was Airmax. Let us all take a small moment to bow our heads and mourn how stupid any of us were to consider this corrupt mod out of the shadows that said 'vote me or I ditch you guys'.

Thank you for that moment. Now, is my turn to say sorry for more.

I am sorry DART, I was not the sexy beast the first time around, I was a beta bitch that got toyed with and tossed by Lunatic, Wylted and many others but those 2 spearheaded it from different angles/agendas.

It is time to tell you what the past year taught me and what I have tried to exemplify:

  1. I was an idiot to not accept that freedom of speech is important on a website like this. Of course it is, this is the place where the biggest sins should be doxxing or genuine horrific severity to levels we must censor. I did think that part already but I also implied some things that I've changed on. If we cannot harden our metal against pro-scummy ideas (I mean really scummy), we are weak and I see that what people attracted to this place are is unwilling to stay mentally weak. That's where I went wrong, no more pandering to the pansies, if you're in a bad place mentally get the help you need that's alright.
  2. I was wrong that the mods need much balancing. They don't. Whiteflame is actually very evenhanded and under him, other than a random outburst about 'vote corruption' on a debate where I got threatened and a little drama only he and I and the mods know about when I thought he tried to trick me into getting banned, I like the guy's quiet style of moderation.
  3. I don't think Supadudz is that wise or fit to lead the website in the position he is in. I think honestly I am one of the best contenders here to hold my own against the mods, I think I am now at a much better stage in my relationship with whiteflame and barney at the very least to see eye to eye on matters and talk them down on others and reason with users.
  4. I have learned that I don't care if lose.
I don't care if 3Ru7AL runs against me or not. I was going to campaign harder against that user but I will let the posts, activity level and whatever else speak for themselves.

I want the president position for the following agenda and reasons:

  • Given my shaky history with previous mods, I am not exactly capable of ever setting foot into the mod realm here or being officially anything. I will always be seen as a flight risk and I am, I speak my mind, I am not super tame and that's fine. I want to prove in an actual official capacity (not even been allowed to be a vote mod or forum mod simple low level, despite asking) so I want to be President as a leg-up. You can cringe at this and say 'yeah put that on your resume' but this website and what it stands for is important to me. I literally want to guide online debating as a passion and whatever else if I can. People are so fucking weak, they stick to those that agree to them and like it, that's fine but it's not where people like us can last. We get pushed aside, alienated and having muzzles on our faces. I want to help you breathe free with me. I want to let the troll in you, the madman/madwoman in each of us to meet the rational scientist and yin-yang ourbrains in a way few activities and hobbies other than debating and reasoning itself can do.
  • Aside from a passionate urge to finally become something special here, I currently have a problem. All new members get to interact with me ASAP (for better or worse). I make sure of it. I doubt most of the noobs know who the hell ilikepie or 3ru7al are and there's a reason for that. I am unique, I have an edge and despite being an introvert, I have a way of making everyone in every avenue here notice me and exchange words and thoughts. Yet, when one is in conflict, when one wants to know the rules, they naturally at always led to the mods. If you didn't know, lazy ass Airmax was supposed to be the liaison, the ambassador of even the mods themselves to the people. The President is meant to be that smiley face who can turn grim just as easily to the mods as to a toxic user and discipline both. If anybody here denies I am the most fit person here to be that guy, they are delusional and deserve an Airmaxv2.
  • I am experienced in all areas of the website. Literally look at the stats on the leaderboard, not just Rating. There is no way other than nepotism and double-standard BS to say I am unworthy to be the gel of the website at least for a year (it actually is a 2-year limit, not 1-year Airmax was just disqualified for being so inept and such).
  • I love this website's concept. I don't care about DART, I sure as hell didn't care about DDO. I am not here to shake hands with Mike that's lost faith with it. I want to be in that special Discord with the mods and lead the forge onwards if things go wrong. I am so not here to dig into the past of DDO, Lunatic forced that last time and I took it hook line and sinker, in fact another member brought it up before that. I am saying, my agenda is very simple; online debating gang above all else, my heart belongs to this like a fucking partial meaning of life. There is something about the idea of this actually succeeding, growing and not having any doxxing, cancel culture and that part of sites like Reddit and Quora hitting us that delights me... What if... It could get medium instead of tiny and avoid that drama fest? We will never know. I want to be the asshole, egotistical and mad as I am, to be officially instated as something so when/if things go to shit, I am there with Barney, Whiteflame, Oro and whoever else thinks I'm a loose cannoned fool to ride it out with them. Imagine this grows one day? Imagine us keeping this tiny joke of a fire burning actually becomes a fucking fiesta?
I never cared about DDO but I miss it too... The activity level, the way you could debate so hardcore and know votes would turn up, at least 2 solid tries if you campaigned for it... That was the shit you guys can't fathom... We've lost the magic here, If not for Mike the guy barely interested to be loyal to his promises to revamp and update the site... This would be gone too.

Vote me or throw your vote away, it's that simple.

except Java is the girl the industry champions and every programmer has to learn these days... So I appreciate the trolling but even with that troll analogy, Java is not the same as a lonely ugly girl but more a hot girl who is so terrible when in an actual relationship as she's so high maintenance and sketchy.

If you compare Java to its rivals within its own family of object-oriented programming, such as C# there is nothing that is more sensible, straightforward or compact in java than in C# (including making edits later on in the coding).

It is fucking STUPID!

If you now compare Java to non-object-oriented languages like Python... Wow, Java is blatantly shit.

Whoever thought Java is a sensible language has no idea how to strategise a coding language where you don't declare all variable fields at the start and don't need to change the code in 2-3 different places every damn time you want to make a single, minor alteration.

How can Java still be lasting when C-languages thwart it at its own game?

Honestly, Elon Musk is not a hypocrite.

All these billionaires keeping all that wealth to themselves with their scummy activities, hanging with the likes of Epstein and partying with the scummiest elite on Earth...

They are the hypocrites when they say they are left-wing.

Left-wing and Bezos? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! This dude (Jeff Bezos) could literally free 3 entire nations' poverty just like that and still be wealthy. It's about choices. Fuck every single rich person telling they support left-wing politics. You do not and you are the reason the right-wing nutjobs think the elite are communist xD!!

Elon Musk is an honest selfish prick, he knows which political wing benefits rich scum and is loyal to it. I can respect that. He is an open enemy of the people that are poor or struggling.

What's the R for? Rational, resourceful, resented,
Rascal with the roundhouse kick to your chest, now your ribcage's dented,
One with the rhythm of reality, perpetually reinvented,
Rat in a lab at a mad man's mercy, they'll never mourn or get it,
Madman's got an ego, as the masses've documented,
Manic with a macho vibe; trauma left unmended,
Music to the rhythm of a bashed-in drum; mimic mad, you'll bend bitch,
Aint easy or simple morphing chaos with a plan that isn't senseless,
You aint even got a clue what I'm thinking, mind's impenetrable yet fenceless,
R to M to me, that's the end, go turn in your friend snitch.

Apathy is one of the best lyricists of all time, not best rapper but best lyricists.
[Verse 1]
Ayo I'm countin’ all this money I’m stackin’ up the hundreds
I'm brushing off my shoulders 'cuz the cash is in abundance
I'm badder than you buzzards who battle but you buggin
I'll splatter you for frontin' leave you shackled in my dungeon
I'm Shaq when I be dunkin leave you shattered like a pumpkin
On a porch on Halloween when all the teens are halfway drunk
And I'm laughing while I'm fuckin and my shaft is steady pumpin'
In ya bitch while you be watching like a chaperone or something
In acetone I'm dunkin' the axe I used to bludgeon
You rappers who be bluffin puffin crack rock or something
I'll snatch the fuckin sun right out the atmosphere
And summon several savage winged horses with the force of cattle runnin
I'm stampeding ya function, I'm kidnappin' the mic
In the pitch black of night to kick raps I like
Got chips stacked to heights of cliffs campers hike
The clique’s cancer-like quickly cancel ya life
I'm kinda cannibal like the rhyming animal type
I'm toxic when I’m rockin’ so close the canister tight
I kill so stand still like a mannequin might
I'm manic and might panic so pan the camera right
To a crowd of fans ignited the night ambulance lights
Give disbelievers a seizure, then they vanish from sight
Flip words like Vanna White in a white van to invite
Like I got a missing puppy and lots of candy for tykes
I’m the one

[Verse 2]
It’s a fact that Ap is iller the prophylactic filler
Put it on ya girls face like a Snapchat filter
Got fat stacks of skrilla from ASCAP I'm realer
You're a loser producer that stay swagger jackin' dilla
No extract of vanilla I'm exact with the skill of a
Ex-pat from Manila turned to contract killer
Drill a hole thru ya skull and end your trifle existence
Keep gold on my body like the life of Egyptians
Known to murder anybody for the slightest resistance
And they call me the king 'cuz I write with consistence
Y'all are handicapped rappers needing cipher assistance
Got snipers at a distance with rifles and munitions
I'm nicer with the writtens than psychics with predictions
Biters get addictions want the price of my prescriptions
I always stay driven even in icy conditions
Turn wifeys to chickens have her siphoning my liquids
The mighty whitey wicked Nike kicks in every color
Emcee crusher M.C. Escher
Hands sketching each other the way I scribbled in the pad
When I was living with my Dad when I first went outta state
But I was liftin up the flag for Connecticut
CT King never forget it when I say I speak curses
It’s nothing you can edit
I’m Imhotep with Black Magick on the tongue
Automatics in the mattress, I’m as bad as they come
I’m the one

I think there's issues with his delivery at times. I think he is too good at times such that his voice and headachey flow just don't hit you right in flow with the music. This is why he will never be GOAT rapper for me but at lyrics themselves,

FUCK he can murder the beat and mic and opponent in any matchup. Eminem should shit himself if vs Apathy.

@TheUnderdog
I define a woman as anyone that is a ciswomen or transwomen.  Just as I don’t have to define North America and South America to define the Americas, I don’t have to define cis women or transwomen to define women because it’s assumed the definitions of the parts are assumed.
Firstly stop mixing up woman and women please.

Secondly, cis and trans women are women under your understanding of things.

So if both are women, what is a woman?

A cis woman is a cis what?

A trans woman has transitioned into what?

Please be precise.

I can no longer optimally gamble on noobsniping.

Despite what Oromagi and some say, once you're in the 1800s you gain way too little from wins vs noobs to make the risk vs reward healthy. I can no longer healthily hope to use my level of participation to carry me past a loss here and there. It's just not optimal.

I want regular clashes vs debaters nearer to 1600 than 1500. I will take you up on challenges, let me know. I'll require long Rounds, I want proper, decent clashes that let real life healthily interact with tough debates.

This is going to be beyond anything DDO ever had from any debater. I am going to be doing quality debate after quality debate, 1-week or 2-week Rounds, no mercy, no excuses proper clashing.

Thoughts on Andrew Tate?
Lively character. Islam has changed him for the worse, not sure he's evne a genuine Muslim though, considering the stated reasons he 'converted' or 'reverted' (they see it as reverting to the original truth instead of converting).

He sees Islam as an aggressive religion that bullies those that disrespect or defy it. He likes and admires that and is sad Christianity stopped being this way. These are his own words (altered/paraphrased) of why he converted. I don't think he takes Islam seriously at all, he's smoking Shisha, partying and no doubt having off-camera drinks and extramartial affairs regularly.

"It is not an intellectual disadvantage"

Difficulty in communication is described as droids unable to communicate with me and unable to receive information that would save them.
but you didn't mean that. You meant stupid droids, low in intellectual capacity.

Autistic people are very good at receiving information, if you present it logically and coherently. Stop your high horse shit and fuck off dissing autism. I don't give a fuck what your trolling is, I am sick of people using autism to mean 'stupid' and backing out later when called out, that's coward nonsense.

Countervailing trends in American politics
For me it was simple. Whether american or not, I think that is not relevant.

I spent enough time and interacted with poor people. My dad in particular went from poor to middle class even middle-upper but raised us stingy so essentially middle.

I would have had every reason to believe in the BS that all poor people can work their way out of being dirt poor with both parents I had if they raised me backing up Conservative values. However, they both had been poor and knew the hell vs mercy of right vs left wing politics. They knew a life/generation where racist, anti-disabled remarks and lgbtphobic attitudes were going to hit you and your friends, on top of hate crime unless you picked left-wing friends.

They knew life where being left-wing was not a choice but a necessity to not starve, if not themselves, their close friends and such.

I was raised to know and understand that without safety nets and protections the left provides the vulnerable, we are no better than sociopathic shitstains who just use religion to pretend we are good. I am a very independent thinker, I did not want to be shepherded into my outlook but in my own way as I grew up have come to agree with my parents at the very least on that the left wing is by far the less evil side of politics today.

I thanks the eright wing for being moderate as times progress but I know the left is the superior option. Idc about trends, I care about reality and morality.
