Andrew has more detail than the picture I picked for you but it might not be allowed by the site if someone looked really carefully at the profile picture.

I didn't. 
When I added that link it looked different to yours but now is isn't noticeable. Did use that as your profile picture?
Looking at it now it looks like the exact same picture.

Favourite game
EDF 4.1 (because 5 is not on the pc)
Never heard of it but looks fun
Barotrama
Guess to each their own. Don't like it. Reminds of a online game called The Last Stand Union City.
super smash bros ult 
I only played the N64 version but I doubt they don't deliver on fun with later title. 
mount and blade warband
Don't know why I don't play it. Guess I still have games to play before that one.
fallout nv
Same
bayonetta (i got this quite recently)
Heard it is like Devil May Cry so I would think I would enjoy that as well.
rimworld
Saw this game but didn't want to buy it,
terraria (you forget that this game is a lot more action orientated then minecraft)
Yeah but the bosses are a much more major difference than minor enemies appearing more often like Slimes.

@Melcharaz
If it were strictly fantasy then how is it you are unable to accumulate the same knowledge? 
Through passing of stories. For example passing on the Bible
Get the holy Ghost and you will see for yourself whether its "fantasy" or not. 
The holy ghost doesn't exist so if my mind can imagine it. I'll come back to you but I have better things to think about. It is not even worth fantasying.
also there is scientific proof of it, don't believe me? google it.  researchers have published works about it. 
You said there was proof but are not able to provide it. You have not fulfilled this therefore it is a null statement. Do bring in evidence next time you think there is scientific proof. Evidence is required for proof.

Should the US invade Africa with the long term goal of making the continent many US states?
-->
@Stephen
I am glad he is being advised/warned this way aren't you? 
Advised doesn't mean he is actually going to listen and not do what he is doing. My guess he will withdraw from wars in order to start his own wars. My guess would be that he will wage war against Venezuela. Maybe not during this presidential cycle but I am sure he would in his more than likely 2nd term in office.
 I don't think he will do anything drastic unless the regime down there starts opening up on unarmed civilians. 
He had a government shutdown. He can be drastic and will if he doesn't get what he wants. 
Oh, and the subject is USA / Africa, the last time I looked.
Just wanted to tell you that Trump will wage war against Venezuela like past presidents went to war with Afghanistan, Syria etc. It is just a matter of time.

Basically a version of a RM Profile Pic Vending Machine and SupaDudz I Will Pick Your Profile Picture

What I asked is for you to answer questions in order for me to understand your preferences.
First 4 pictures would be specifically targeting what you answered.
The 5th one would be something I think you would like from what you have said. 

1) What do you like (Infinity War, Trump, Burgers)?
2) What specifically do you like about it (Thanos, His tan, Cheeseburger)?
3) Do you want it to be bright or dark? 
4) Anything more you want to say?

After this I would like feedback when I message you about the photos. You can say whether you liked it or disliked it. Do tell me what I can improve on in order to give you an extra image or something I can add or remove to improve other people's profile picking experience.

So you cannot see written above and very clear, the words ;


Junker is not elected by the electorate i.e the citizens of any country. "  

or is it you do not understand those words;  The electorate and citizens?  
It isn't like that. Junker was elected by people who are part of the EU. The EU members elected by the people in the EU.
You are right. I believed them, along with 17. 5 million other citizens of the UK, when they said it was a "one time referendum and there will be no other." I believe them when they said "article 50 would be triggered immediately".  But this is exactly what the thread is all about: The Treasonous Treacherous BASTARDS!!!!!!
Yes they are all delusional. Thank you for agreeing.

I suppose you think that is another trick question. Are you trying to tell me that Europe doesn't decide and dictate any UK law?
No trick. Tell me how the EU tell the UK what to do. 
So the government decision to offer a "one time only" democratic referendum to stay or leave the EU, means absolutely fk all to you then. I am not surprised.The words of a quisling if ever I head them
Sorry but things change and people will have to fix a problem. This so happens to be part of the EU again. Hopefully it happens as early as possible so the UK doesn't suffer from Brexit all that much. They will when making trade deals but hopefully they are not going to be in those deals for a long period of time.
I already did at #14. Where I clearly said :
 

" Junker is not elected by the electorate i.e the citizens of any country. I didn't vote for the tawts. DID YOU?? I didn't vote for vote for the French drunken turd, DID YOU!? I didn't vote for a single member of the European Commision who have elected a president for themselves, DID YOU? If you cannot grasp this the get off the thread your wasting my time and your own."
I did see that but you are saying unelected by itself. Junker was elected but not by the public instead by Prime-ministers.
  But your head is so far up your own jacksey you seems to have missed it, I should consult a surgeon, if I were you.  I told you;  you are not as clever as you believe yourself to be,  and anyone who has had a part in convincing  you that you are clever are not your friends, they are your enemies and my friends. And there is no cure for buffoonery but  there is still a chance of a  position when the circus comes to town, so don't give up. 
You are clearly delusional and believed the lies of the conservative party and some random's on YouTube. The conservative party will profit from this since most of them are apart of the upper-class but you I am sure are not apart of it so you are basically a voluntary propagandist. You should at least get paid for spreading falsehoods but you are not. You are doing this free.

Can you put me in the receiver? Why is that so difficult? 
No, You are getting the commision mixed up with the eu council which   IS UNELECTED you buffon, how many times . 
European Council is made up of Prime Ministers which elect people to the European Commission. They are not un-elected. Stop parroting falsehoods. You should be saying they were not elected by the public and also tell me why this should be valued. Guess you don't care about that but I will still leave that part in. 
"The European Council is a collective body that defines the European Union's overall political direction and priorities. It comprises the heads of state or government of the EU member states, along with the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission." 
Which this corrupt government are determined to overturn the will of the people. 
Okay then. I hope Brexit does happen and more than likely it will make the country worse which will make the UK create another referendum in order to get back into the EU.
A country making laws for other countries is not home rule . I have explained this already but your a little dense to take it all in. Never mind.
Where is your evidence that UK law is made some-place else?

The classic brick puncher argument is also used to justify the 70% gender wage gap argument.
I don't know what that is. Do tell me. 
My explanation of the pay gap between classes is wage stagnation. The wages of the median and lower have stagnated whereas the riches wages haven't.

Consuming is not the same as investing.
I never said consume instead spend. You would have to spend money in order to invest. 
If a greedy person can't resist the urge to consume for instant gratification, they do not deserve to be rich.
Why do you to say that?

You are using the classic Marxist brick puncher argument. 
Can you tell me what that is before you tell me I am doing it?
You are conflating work with productivity. Productivity includes value. Work does not. If you spend 8 hours a day punching bricks, you will not be as productive to society as a teacher working 8 hours.
How do you define productive?
Productive: producing or able to produce large amounts of goods, crops, or other commodities.
Like that?

Hard Drive Reliability
How do you check that your SSD (Solid State Drive) or HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is in good repair?  Can hard drives be rebuilt with fresh parts, or carefully removing the original hard disc and placing into a new carriage with fresh bearings, disc readers, electronics etc...? In their respective designs, what design and manufacturing elements help to ensure that data is not corrupted over the lifetime of the storage medium, and that the storage device has a predictable service life over the long term?  
Watch YouTube and see what people say. Try to look at various sources in order to find the most popular thing. Most popular I think is the best way to know if it works if you don't know what you are doing. You can simply research about it then figure it out for yourself but I think that will take too long.

Capitalism is a system where the more productive are richer than the less productive. 
That is a lie. A teacher would work similar hours to a wall street broker but guess what both do not make similar money. Reason is there is more value in wall street broking compared to being a teacher. This productive argument is false because a poor person can work the same hours as a rich person doesn't mean he will become rich because it is dependent on how much you are being paid not how much you work.
Capitalism is also a system that punishes greedy people who cannot delay their instant gratification and people who rack up unsustainable debt. 
That is because they make poor financial choices not because of some "instant gratification". Jeff Bezos is rich because he kept on working not delaying on "instant gratification". I am sure you would consider poor people using their money for money a bad idea. A rich person called Dana White was so good at gambling that he won more money than he lost. It was because had more capital to work with not because of "instant graitifcation". In the video it stated Dana lost $1 million but gained $7 million. He did so well that the casinos banned him.
Capitalism rewards people who delay instant gratification in order to invest in themselves and save for the future. 
This is also false. In order to gain more money you would have to spend more. No-one in their right mind just sits on capital and does not invest. I am sure to an investor you are wasting time for not even using capital to improve future profitability.

Well, capitalism is an economic principle, not a moral theory or a way of life.  But yeah, not applying to be in company with those folks
Yes capitalism is an economic principle in which the rich are better off than the poor. In most systems but in the case of this economic principle being followed a poor can work for more and still earn less than a rich person. This happens to be the case I think (willing to change my mind if you have figures saying otherwise) which is why poor are stuck in a poverty cycle incapable of improving their lives as much as people more privileged under capitalism. Regulation can improve truth in news but when you give someone an inch they will take a mile. Meaning when you take something simple like having an additional verification before reporting news this can definitely lead to news like about wars America are currently in being censored due to the power that they had. It would be foolish for the US not to use it but if people did not allow this to be even a place where the government can regulate it would not be a problem. This is not the case which is a good thing.

Heck, who knows why they do what they do.  Maybe 30 seconds explicating that your president is in fact, not dog whistling to white nationalists, is just not worth the air time.  You would think there would be hell to pay in a decent society.
Like I said earlier capitalism sucks if you want the truth. The truth doesn't sell as well as breaking news. That is why CNN and Fox prioritise that.

It didn't "come off" that way.  People cut off explicit information for money.
I saw 1 minute and 8 seconds of it and I found 3 Yikes moments. That is not a good Q and A session.
There's a market for a negative message apparently that is more valuable than the truth
Capitalism sucks if you want the truth.
and we are literally on the topic of stuff like racism and hate so disassociating the good from the bad and detaching it from a side was actually setting a good example. 
Good example? Trump had awful choice of words. I only watched 1 minute 8 seconds of it. I can't imagine how many more I will find if I watched the entire thing.

Remember when you told me you would find information about Venezuela? Do you have any?

It is so ironic, that a nuanced statement that intricately carves up the prejudice and ignorance that people consider a lucrative industry is actually put out in a way that caters prejudice and ignorance.
As someone in his position nuanced should not be the target. It should be to remain simple. In order for the message to not be used against him. His nuanced position can come off as dog-whistling to white nationalists. Trump needs to stop mentioning them in some sort of good way.

Go ahead and watch it I guess, or choose to be ignorant.
I watched 1minute and 8seconds and I found 3 poor choices of words. It is you who is ignorant or thinks saying some bad things in a 16 minutes doesn't make the speech bad. It does because the severity of what he says can overshadow what he said later on. That is why left wing news outlets jumped on when he used the both sides meme.
I hate Trump rallies, which is why I was so surprised, because that's what you would expect of Trump, but the way Trump put it is actually a healthy counter to prejudice I think, and I can't believe he was able to put it across in the heat of the moment. 
I think you have lost it. Oh well. 
  I guess maybe if you don't keep your mouth shut, something good is bound to come out some day
If you are not speaking you can't say something good.

Thank you. I think it would be him trying to either state that he is wrong or carry on laughing.

I think most people just don't care. And a lot of them, if pressed and shown beliefs... they will change
That has got to be a liar. Many people use it as a reason to live or do what they do in life. They rely on it since they don't think there are able to make their own moral foundation use it as a reason to keep on living through difficult times or selfishly use it in order to get into heaven. 
My friend was Christian until he sat down and talked to me. All i had to do is tell him my paradise paradox and he got it.
You do agree this is an anecdote and is not a representation of how everyone will be like to this explanation?
I think you need to drop IQ. It has been used by Race Realists, White Nationalist and people who advocate for ethnostates as a reason to segregate people. I would like first a concrete foundation on intelligence research before I make claims about it. You should refrain from talking about IQ until the research is better.

Trump was actually more nuanced than everyone else.
Nuanced should not be used in a rally that advocated for what they did.
I think Trump said something reminiscent of leadership, in real time.  Literally, the exact opposite way of viewing things from a racist perspective, and absolutely impossible to perceive as a dog whistle.
"left came violently attacking the other group" Poor choice of words.
"I think there is blame on both sides" Sure good statement followed up later on "you would report it accurately you would say" Sheesh
"but you also had people that were (a pause to think about it) very fine people on both sides" Wow. 
This was only 1minute and 8 seconds. I can't imagine what other stuff he says. He is not good at his choice of words and I don't know how you see that. Please quote what he said that was good.

I'd be more upset if Trump did not condemn the actual radical supremacist protesters in Charlottesville.
I think he did condemn the people at Charlottesville but doing the both sides meme is really not called for when these people are advocating for a very large portion of the population to be removed form where they have lived as US citizens and deport them to a country where more than likely they are not accustomed to. 
He did the same thing with Mexico when he said they were sending their worst over the border, but he also said he assumed some of them were good.
This was also an awful saying. A person is really not meant to say what he thinks instead knows. If he had evidence to support this it would greatly improve his side but I am sure his message went on the lines of I think Mexico are not sending their best or something. I wish he had evidence to prove this or kept his opinions to himself and stated the typical good talk that immigration is a boom to the economy but he was more bucking on being against immigration so I don't see how he could have not got a reaction from saying that.

. I am not going to enforce rules which ban call-out threads by creating call-out threads. 
They are not the same. One is done by a user on the site and another is done by the higher-ups. It is like the President of the United States I am not going to war with an actual enemy of the US because it will lead to public hatred of that enemy. The closest context to the site would be someone hacking the site.
There are already sufficient deterrents in place against misconduct--including knowledge of existing bans and the issuance of official warnings--to ensure sufficient compliance with site rules.
Official warnings that are not public?
So private warnings I am guessing.
or are not sufficient to outweigh the legitimate privacy and user retention interests protected by the status quo. Moreover, it would be far too great an encumbrance for moderation to keep a running, public list of all reports and the actions taken on them.
I guess my idea would be further into the future of DA so I will leave this as my last post until DA increases the size of its authority figures. I don't want conspiracy theorists, people advocating for illegal activity on my site. I would go about this as give them a chance to explain depending on the severity allow them onto the site again and if it occurs again permanently ban them with a much longer investigation. I am sure you guys already do this so basically I am telling you what you already do.

I agree with you, Trump is horrible with his tactless tweeting,
Someone should take his phone away.
but I guess that has a lot to do with growing up in New York, as most people there are are very rude and blunt.
I am on the fence on whether or not I would consider Trump a racist. On one hand he says something like there were good people in Charlottesville which I consider a dog-whistle to white-nationalist but on the other hand I can't really blame him for the environment he was born into and the intent behind what Trump says that can be perceived as hate speech I would consider it to not be hateful instead his background playing a role when he is in office.

Yah, but it's not very logical to claim someone incompetent that hasn't shown growth numbers worse than Obama's average
I call Trump incompetent because of his tweets. I apologise if it looked like it was based on economy. It can be but it would be based on specifics rather then GDP because Obama had to deal with a recession.

As noted above, we're re-litigating here something which was already twice rejected in MEEP processes by the site usership.
Can't really disagree with this.
Users who have engaged in misconduct would be publicly embarrassed and shamed through such a process, which would not only make it harder to retain users but would also performatively undermine the spirit of the site's code of conduct by institutionalizing call-out threads as an acceptable social practice on DART. 
This is a public platform and the higher-ups can create the audience they target. With this in mind publicly embarasing indivduals sends a message that this behaviour will not be tolerated and will make sure people know there place. This will help people understand authority and what are acceptable limits to what can be done on the site. I am not for call-out threads. I am for higher-ups making public with who was banned.
 Given that the policy your proposing has almost no tangible benefits not already provided by the status quo, while entailing not insignificant harms, hardly recommends it for implementation.
+ Users will understand what current implementation of the law looks like
+ Can keep up-to-date what occurred with an individual in order for users to be aware if what they have reported on was followed through
+ More transparency leads to less conspiracy or assumptions made up which can leave known trolls hard-pressed to find something to make up

fair enough, although it's not looking too hot with the current 3% average GDP growth. Assuming you are hoping the president fails.
My claim was that the credit of starting the positive trend in the economy should be given to Obama. Doesn't mean Trump can't improve the economy as well but Obama had to deal with the recession which I don't find something comparable to what Trump has dealt with. Due to the recession it has made Obama's average GDP look bad I think.

so, he may stop talking to you bc you're talking to me... i hope not, if so sorry lol. 
Doubtful. He still thinks his holy book states his side even though he is making arguments which his holy book does not even mention.
And therein you'll see the deception... it doesn't matter. 
I am using the source he is. If he has a problem I can simply bring that up over and over again until he admits to it.
I don't know if this is true.
How do you explain the majority of the world population being Religious?
most of the "follower" type religions fall into the average. Just like IQ, there are a lot of them... which seems to correlate with reality. And similar to IQ... they will just never understand what a 140 IQ person see's if their IQ is 90. So, that's how i see it... i think it goes a little further than just indoctrination. 
I don't think it is low IQ instead they commit a special pleading fallacy. They use different standards with Religion compared to other things. Some people use that standard with everything so I would consider them the exception rather than the rule.
