good question. I really don't know. There could be a mafia team of two with one hated but that would be really scum sided, there could be one mafia, which would be slightly town sided, or there could be one mafia and one TP, which is only slightly scum sided.So you would believe Budda would make a one person scum team of a hated role?

Any ideas on why Harder is all-in for defending Virt?
I don't think this is really what he's doing. I missed a post that Harder did read and the suspicion that he's a jester is imo on the table. There's probably one mafia and one TP, cuz that's how you'd go about balancing this game. If Virt is a TP then chances are he's a commuter. In retrospect I don't think someone like Virt would blunder so badly as to claim commuter after getting an inno from a cop.
That being said the paranoid cop is already dead so how RM got an inno on a TP is anyone's guess. Perhaps RM is the scum and Virt is the TP.

Remember, there is a 'hated' flavouring. Do not risk lynching anyone the 4 can be 3
hated is a role in this game, but why do you sound so certain?

@1harderthanyouthink
I don't really think his role should be taken too seriously. I've always been a believer in behaviour analysis over results. But a result here shouldn't be possible. RM should have failed so..And what about RM's inno result? He would have to either be naive or insane.

There should only be one scum in this game. If it's not Virt it'll be RM, but I think it's Virt.I don't believe RM is telling the truth

They're in the role list. I don't see hated in "potential flavoring"
holy crap what a blunder. That's hilarious.

Virt is scum if RM is telling the truth because RM's action should have failed. The course of action is obvious, today we lynch Virt.

No commuter is a role. If you're a commuter you can't be targeted, anyone targeting you will fail.

We are almost certainly in MyLo
No there should only be one scum. MYLO after one mislynch is not a thing. Plus if you're advocating a NL then I fear you're just going to kill of XLAV or myself and there won't be anyone to point out how obvious it is that you're lying about your role. Well, you or RM.

Grey parrot imo tentative town based on his first post being effective full claim in semi-open. Scum would probably fear a CC and wouldn't pull that. Going to call my town list:

Hated flavour can be either scum or town. It's his commuter claim he's lying about though.

I think RM is town. In his shit posting in Dp1 he was tossing a few mechanical questions out there that he clearly asked the mod in his own pm based on the mod's response. It's clear he was genuinely after answers and not just fluffing. Scum RM probably would only say it in the DP and not use his PM to ask the mod imho.
Virtuoso is likely the scum.

Ok I read that RM got an inno on a commuter, ergo one of them is 100% scum.

You hate religion but you proudly claim your country invented religion.
We white Australians don't share in any Aboriginal traditions, and this isn't a claim he made. It's why he specified Indigenous Australians.

@Tejretics
how does (1) follow? What's the logic?
(2), any business that can possibly be run can in theory be run by a government. If such a nationalized model were implemented in a country like the US, it would likely look like a government licensing scheme for prostitutes that are employed by private businesses. All brothels would be required to register their prostitutes and all registered prostitutes would require a license. To obtain a license you would merely have to prove your identity and of course pay a fee. To audit brothels, a regulatory body could do any number of things. For example they could check if the number of customers they service at a time is feasible for the number of licensed prostitutes they employ. I'm not an expert on compliance but I've heard of some pretty creative ways that regulations can be enforced. Imo yes definitely workable, and likely better than an unregulated market.

@RationalMadman
The potential adverse consequences of LSD abuse comes down to schizoaffective psychosis in vulnerable individuals following persistent long term use:
- Abraham, H. D., & Aldridge, A. M. (1993). Adverse consequences of lysergic acid diethylamide. Addiction, 88(10), 1327-1334
The sum of all available evidence shows that LSD is one of the safest and least impactful drugs:
- Nutt, D. J., King, L. A., & Phillips, L. D. (2010). Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis. The Lancet, 376(9752), 1558-1565.
- van Amsterdam, J., Nutt, D., Phillips, L., & van den Brink, W. (2015). European rating of drug harms. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 29(6), 655-660.
LSD is a valuable research field with clinical relevance and benefit:
- Preller, K. H., Herdener, M., Pokorny, T., Planzer, A., Kraehenmann, R., Stämpfli, P., ... & Vollenweider, F. X. (2017). The fabric of meaning and subjective effects in LSD-induced states depend on serotonin 2A receptor activation. Current Biology, 27(3), 451-457.

It doesn't. It's very similar to shrooms as it affects the same receptors.Because LSD completely destroys the brain and biochemistry.

When I was little I watched finding Nemo and thought that was literally how people in Sydney spoke. Didn't really know anything about America at the time, so I was hilariously wrong.Too fast paced, they did a real good job with Nemo, Toy Story and the Iron Giant

Pure political rationalization.There is no political TV in America. TV is social. American popular media takes a left of center position as its default.Left and right can be defined relatively, or can be defined absolutely. Defined relatively, abortion on demand could one day be the conservative position.
You're moving the goal posts. Your OP stated that MSNBC and CNN are far left, Harder is pointing out that they're further right than you suggest. That being said, it's clear you're talking about social left and he's talking economic left so you might want to clarify your position.

LSD does not create a downwards spiral of dependency. Once the hallucinogenic effects wear off, the person is back to where they started.

@Mopac
Well, I'm just telling you what I have personally seen happen. They both did a lot at once. I would call it an overdose for sure.If I, not being a doctor, were to diagnose them as anything it would be permafried
The reason why I'm skeptical of you linking their mental issues to LSD is because the effects you're looking at can't be produced by any amount of LSD at all. LSD is a 5-HT(2A) agonist, you cannot get a response from the receptors that don't communicate using Serotonin. Your friend would die from acute toxicity before suffering the brain damage he clearly has.
If your link were accurate, it would be the first of its kind.

@Imabench
"LSD should remain Illegal due to dangers it can create for driving"I would be open to LSD being legal for medical purposes, the way marijuana currently is in many states, but Im still pretty hesitant about decriminalizing it outright. A little bit of LSD could impair someone ability to drive safely on a far lower dosage compared to alcohol, and while its hard to overdose from it directly, there are still many ways for people to get hurt by its legalization through second-hand affairs
LSD currently isn't an issue in driving. Not to say that people don't try to drive as they trip out causing accidents, but incidence is too low for it to be noteworthy statistically. Second-hand damage from LSD is virtually non existent.

Unless deviant art is used by everyone here, there shouldn't be ambiguity when using terms like DA or DART with other websites.

I agree, but I'm not sure what the role of debate/vote moderator would imply. If it's not merely controlling abuse like a forum mod would do, then there's room for a specialty role there, like Whiteflame.

I think too many cooks would be an issue if there was role overlap. If the jurisdictions were strictly forums or debate votes then there's effectively just one mod.

- One of the highest therapeutic indices of any drug, meaning overdose is extremely difficult. LSD trips are experienced at around 100 micrograms, with overdoses occuring around 15,000 micrograms.
- Not addictive
- Is not harmful to society or the individual
- It was illegalised due to its prominence in the counter cultural movement of the 70-80's, not for health or harm reasons.
- Its current status as a schedule 1 drug (USA)/ S9 (AUS) means valuable research has been hindered significantly.
- Legalisation w/ regulated supply reduces incidence of any given illicit drug use in a population
- Legalisation w/ regulated supply destroys markets that profit criminals/gangs.
You can contest any of these points, just quote it and give your thoughts on it and I'll respond.
