I think it has art so for DA to really be a competitor we should have an art section as well. That ain't happening soon nor is the take-over of the the DevianArt crowd.

Yes if I get a trilogy like the one Sam Raimi while also having the 3rd one being good.Oh, so being spidey being kicked out of the mcu is fine??

To win or to lose is meaningless. To be informative is meaningless. All vanity.
Doesn't make you less right or wrong. Can you please stop ad-homming instead address the point at hand.
What God are you talking about?
To the nihilist, the world is everything and God is nothing. It is faith in the abyss. To the Christian, the world is nothing and God is everything. It is faith in eternity.
Meaningless means I derive meaning from the world? Okay contradiction. Please tell me why I care about everything even though I don't and you also state God doesn't care? Guess God is not all-loving.

No I don't want to see Peter, Iron Man, Parker. I want to see a Saim Raimi-esc trilogy for Spider-Man. More chance of that occur now. If only they can get Sam Raimi to do it again. I don't think that would happen.

Castin the Gimp guy. That is pretty funny.Castin is a moderator that is brought out in moments of special need. Like Steven Hibberts character in Pulp Fiction.
Special needs are going to met by Castin.

Meaningless conversation can be informative or have a winner but I don't think you seem to grasp that. Oh well.Everything is wrong to you, you are a nihilist. It is all meaningless. Our conversation is meaningless, and being meaningless there is no conversation. Nothing, just the abyss.
Nothing.

It is not an assumption that God exists. The Ultimate Reality must exist.
An assumption until justified. You haven't justified it. I can simply say Ultimate Reality must not exist. Try and give and argument. I don't think you are capable but you just might be an individual.
If God doesn't exist, there is no reality. As you are having an experience, you have undeniable scientific evidence that there is some form of existence. If there is some form of existence, there must be an existence as it truly is. This Ultimate Reality is what we mean when we say "God". To someone with this God, The One True God, atheism is not a tenable position.
You always state the opposite is wrong without saying how you are right. It almost as if a defection is the best claim you have for God. Pretty much you are wrong so I must be right even though you haven't stated how it isn't the Jew God or the Islamic God.

What specifically about Tulsi do you dislike, please don't tell me her looks :( ?For example, if the Democrats nominated someone like Tulsi Gabbard, I might actually vote for someone like Huntsman or Kasich. Otherwise, probably not.
Is she really the worst?
Would you vote for Biden if he was the nominee?

I think bsh1 knows how much you want to be a moderator. I don't think more comments would improve your stances unless you have a software engineering degree (unlikely) or have worked on another site. More than likely bsh1 would resort to maturely (If RM: Immaturely) asking you to stop.
My advice:
- Bribe bsh1
- Wait 10 years so that you have a software engineering degree
- Keeping spamming if you think bsh1 would have a change in heart to pick you
- There are others but I can't think of it right now

Sounds almost like you spouting that god does not exist over and over.
When people start with the assumption that God exists I have to state that. If they didn't then I would simply have a conversation about it.
I have no idea why you think that post is so great. It's literally a normal post that has no more significance than any other of your posts.
You can't admit to a great post. Your biases are clouding you. Maybe because it hits right at home and you know it or you don't.
I was not going to intervene, but I will give omar a suggestion.
It is TRN. Feeling don't care about your facts.
When mopac suggests you be open to know what Christians believe and what he believes, don't respond in a closed-minded manner and keep saying things like 'the bible is where you get the information about God' or 'God isn't real so what you say is irrevelant.'
I am sorry who is saying God = Ultimate Reality = Truth? It is Mopac. Don't give me advice when we can't even have a discussion when he doesn't want one. He has made it perfectly clear he is simply hear to state his position not contest it. Go and ask for yourself. He is first a Christian before a free thinker. That is why I state he is part of a hive mind.
Ask mopac what he believes, why he believes, and keep an open mind to his ways instead of dismissing those opportunities. Maybe you could actually learn something or understand more.
Please ask Mopac if I have done this. If he is honest I have then when he didn't want to discuss I am doing what I am doing here.

Thank you for telling me that nihilism is no meaning not negation. You sure you are using your made up definition or the actual one?

Of course I don't believe in God. Wasn't that obvious?

Nihilism is the doctrine of negation.
Saying the same thing twice doesn't make you right. You don't understand this which shows how incompetent you are. Given that a hive mind doesn't actually need to change it can simply ignore and live in its delusion of individualism.
You say that I have scrapped individualism for a hive mind, but where do you think your ideas come from?
Instead of showing how your side is correct you strawman my position? Okay hive mind deflecting instead of actually defending your side.
Long before you were born the ideas you profess have been absorbed into western culture and education. The Soviet Union in particular was very aggressive in their indoctrinating of the population into so called "scientific atheism", which was fundamentally nihilistic in character.
To this day people still follow a delusional man called Jesus. Communism is disregarded by anyone reputable in economists. Anything you would like to add delusional follower?
But indeed, nihilism cannot be anything but individualistic. It functionally destroys everything. In fact, it even destroys the individual. When you are alone, an individual so to speak, what are you relating to? As an individual, you are nothing.
Do you not understand the definition or are you also using your won definition to suit your agenda? I'll go with the latter until you reply.
Our way is not that of the individual, it is of the person. The main distinction being that a person is defined by its relationship. It is a different way of looking at things.
Thank you for telling me you have a nice way of stating your part of a hive mind. It doesn't allow for individuals because those individuals are made up of differences which Christianity doesn't allow. A individual can choose not to believe in God but that doesn't make him a Christian. So what makes him a Christian? Following a specific line and not moving from it. Almost like the individual doesn't matter and they are apart of a collection of people doing the same thing. Almost like a hive mind.
But nihilism has nothing to offer. There is nothing enlightened about it either. It is a lot easier to negate, dismiss, and play the hard skeptic about things than it is to get real understanding.
Built on a definition to suit your narrative not what is commonly used. Please give the actual definition of nihilism instead giving me this negation rhetoric.
A small child can dispute everything and simply be contrary.
A small child will be filled with propaganda in order for them to join the hive mind.
There is nothong impressive or even difficult about this.
What is so difficult regurgitating what your parents and/or priests have said? Oh wait nothing.
Most importantly though, this is not the way of Truth. In fact, nihilism is self defeating. It destroys itself, and that is the point. Nihilism stands on nothing. If there there is no absolute Truth, nihilism cannot have any truth to it. Nihilism is a Satanic philosophy.
Please Satanic coming from a person believing in a delusional man? Okay guess I must be doing really well then. Thank you for telling me that.

It just so happens I was annoyed at the ones slipping by.While voting standards have improved and are better enforced, the system isnt perfect and a few will always slip by
You didn't provide anything informative instead stated the obvious. Mine was an extreme case, I know but to see a failure that bad would mean that there are areas where people can exploit the site in the way which I stated it occurred.

I am like the only one who calls it DA so I am on an uphill battle against pretty much anyone else on this site. DA sounds cooler then Dart. I mean who even likes darts? People who are fat, miserable and time to spare to spend it on darts. I don't know about you but maybe we ought to eradicate such a sport and darts in general so that my acronym is respected. I will be taking influence from the great pricks of the past to settle this arrangement when I care more and wasn't lazy (by not watching darts!).

@oromagi
if all goes according to plan, what does moderation on DART look like 5 years from now?
Joke by the way and since I ain't a moderator I wasn't even supposed to answer.
Side note:
Your profile picture frightens me. It reminds me of the weeping angels from Doctor Who. Thankfully I haven't seen those dumbass statues in real life because I know the best place to be well informed on history, Wikipedia or maybe I forgot :( . Even with the countless scary shite I watch I still don't have a better tolerance to things that I am frightened by. Oh well guess I am going to be the first to die in a cliché horror set pieces or maybe I'll be lucky or something.

@janesix
Is Dart representative of the real world?
By percentage. Really slim. I doubt it even comes close to 1%.
I guess with politics and Religion then no. Most people are too busy focusing on recreation or jobs to talk about the topics we discuss here.
The only areas that I think matter and I would say no.
In other words, do you think that the majority of people are assholes?
If people are very defensive to new think then yes. If people just start off as assholes then no. Mainly because it is due to the environment. Poor, you would have disdain for both politicians and cops. Rich, I think a disdain for the homeless and people who are finding it difficult to reach what they have.
To that answer yes but it is justifiable and irrational.

I have examined my beliefs very thoroughly, and am very secure. That being the case, you are wasting your time if you think that by simply contradicting me I am going to be convinced by your opinions.
Who would have thought you were helpless?
Now I know your belief in God is flimsy and easily debunk-able if you did actually understand what a good argument is or isn't.
Too bad that you care more about lies than the truth.

It is really easy to follow the way of negation.
Totally disregard actual information so that your perception is still gone unchallenged? Is this how you keep your faith in God? By not even challenging or even acknowledging other perspectives? Guess your position on Religion is really flimsy.

Two votes weren't based on the arguments.

@Mopac
It is not an ad hom. Nihilism is the doctrine of negation. It negates everything, including itself.
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.
Please stop with the falsities. Should've stopped with God but since bad ideas lead to other bad ideas you decide to create your own definitions which just so happen go in line with what you think.
Nihilism is a denial of absolute truth. It is intrinsically an extreme form of skepticism. Instead of disputing over words, it would be more honest to your identified position(not saying you are being dishonest) to simply accept that The Ultimate Reality is God, and that you still deny God's existence.
Can you please actually engage with a discussion instead of lying and being deceitful? It would go more into the lines of Christianity being good instead of bad or Mopac's twisted version of good.

@Trent0405
That is the reason why I watch things. To be entertained. Khabib doesn't do it for me.Khabib especially isn't entertaining.
I meant Khabib as a person, the only time where infight actions make me hate someone is when they break the rules, like rousimar palhares or Jon Jones.
I probably don't really care about fighters outside the ring so this doesn't matter.
I was being hyperbolic when I said Poirier couldn't win, I actually thought Khabib might get knocked out when he got clipped.
Maybe.

@Ramshutu
How about halting who wins and loses and wait until the moderation has checked is up to par?If you remove a vote and it changes the winner - you have to undo all the changes made by that victory, and reapply a new victory condition: it has to unwind ELO - which is hard as the debate them needs to store the starting ELO values of both competitors at the end.
This can be called the moderating period.

want tony to win as well, Poirier I was also rooting for in this fight. However, there was no way he was going to win.
Everyone has a chance of winning. Poirier was focusing way too much on the defense and should've closed the gap in the first round. He should have also made Khabib stay in half guard instead of panicking and try to push him off. He was pretty much gassed in the first round. Second round he did go on the offence but when he went for the body kick he pretty much screwed his foot. After that it was over. Poirier should've went on the offence because that is how you get him to back to the cage and make takedowns a lot more difficult for Khabib to do.
But, I like Khabib too, do you?
No he is actually boring to watch. It is I am going to drag you to the cage and waste you time with holding the position and keeping people to the ground. It is the opponent who makes it interesting like what Conor did in the second to last Round were Khabib made him tap or when Poirier clipped him. Basically I like striking more than grappling but I do like grappling when people actually advance the position and go for the ground and pound or submission not just sit on someone and do nothing.

How about you don't unwind what is going on, Simply change it while it is complete?As I understand it, the issue isn’t necessarily the removal of votes; but that it’s very hard to unwind the completion of the debate when removing a vote. You’re not just removing a vote - you have to unwind everything that occurs when the win happens. Tying those mechanics to the rather simple removal of a vote entry is more complex and problematic than you may think. While there may be other possible updates that could work around this, I suspect they all come with their particular issues too.

Sorry I didn't know.
Is there like a half fix or some kind of incremental thing that can be done?
Basically saying if the option can't be created to simply give users privileges to take down votes after the voting period how not simply specifically change how a specific debate is. Implement the changes necessary and revert it back?
