@Double_R
Actually it began in 1887, but setting that aside... Do you seriously think 1920's America is comparable to 2020's America?
Policies are either good or bad. Good policies will be good policies in all environments and bad policies will be bad in all environments. My advise is to always do the ethical policys
And even if you somehow do, regulatory bodies were formed for a reason. You might think the 1920's were great but I promise you anyone who lived through them would come to undetstand the price we paid for it.
We can look at the negative results to see why they formed. They crushed small businesses. Now we have nothing but big businesses. Then everyone was a business owner, so there is your answer.
These are two entirely seperate things which both would have followed their paths regardless of the other. If anything you could actually make the argument in reverse which would be far more compelling; that the formation of large businesses and corporations is what lead to the need for more regulations. The lessons we learned after the great depression would be a great example of that.
That case would make sense if the death of mom and pos preceded those things not came after

Can you please explain, with sources provided, who was directly responsible for that, show that this person or person's were minorities, and substantiate that the person's were in that position not because of their merits or even nepotism but because the company needed a hire that wasn't a straight white male?
You do know that it isn't just non whites that can take advantage of situations that discard meritocracy correct?
You do also know that complex systems when thy fail it is a result of a multitude of incompetence and that a lot plays a role. You can't honestly believe that getting rid of meritocracy would mean no impacts to complex systems can you.

I'm fine with a results based argument on this question but it needs to be extremely nuanced and based on data. We don't get there by pointing to one disgusting place and branding it as the face of an entire political party's ideology. That's just confirmation bias.
Okay I will choose 5 random places at the top of the economic freedom index which measures how capitalistic a country is and you pick 5 near the bottom and then we can compare them to see if interventionist policies work better or not?
Or we cam look at countries that got rid of communism and replaced it with capitalism and see which regime was better for the country. He'll if I am wrong about economic interventionism being worse than freedom I want to know but you also failed to address my arguments about the impacts of regulatory agencies on Markey competition so I doubt you will engage me here

So much sexual deviance among the clergy, yet they have the brass balls to call all atheists "drug addled kiddie fiddlers".... well, I know at least one of them does.

Do you believe a former president/presidential candidate should be immune from criminal prosecution? Yes or No?
It would need to be something extremely disgusting and very clearly wrong. Technically George Bush and Obama could be charged with war crimes but we just don't do that to presidents and persecuting tru.p means the elite want one set of rules for themselves and another for their political opponents. What are they even going after him for? Over Valuing his home? It's retarded and no Obama would have never been gone after for such petty shit

@Double_R
Again, the way any reasonable person would determine which is the party of the rich and which is the party of the poor is by looking at their policies. Anything else is a red herring.
I think it's much more about looking at the results of the policies and not the policies per say. Do liberal policies help poor people. Are their places like skid row where we can look to see if this is true or do conservative policies help people?

The President’s position is informed by his belief that there are “good people on both sides.”
He wouldn't be wrong and I would hope the right would not stoop to the lefts level and use that phrasing to claim he supports hamas

If whiteflame is or BK is scum we were destined to lose anyway because I can't see either of them being lynched

The consensus lynch is probably going to be me and town are going to lose. Can't wait to hear Whiteflame's justification when I flip town in endgame and especially when Pie rips him for having 2 bad lynch trains
I know my defense will be that I did my best and I am just not psychic so I can't place perfect votes

The last scum is between you and barney/Austin. You'll definitely be around next dp to make your case. You should go ahead and place your vote on Vader so we can move along . We have me whiteflame and korea ready to lynch Vader so whoever the 4th town member is hould go ahead and start the process by voting him right now.

I guess if lynch targets dont change, then it makes no difference if we lynch them this dp or next dp
Whiteflame also mentioned the possibility that we are in Lylo. It's unlikely we are but I don't see a benefit in waiting since we know who is being lynched next DP.

@Vader
If you think that confidently I am scum on no reports, a counterclaim, or anything that would disprove my status as town, to the point you would risk LOSING the game
Austin and Ragnar cannot be scum together and if you are innocent it makes either whiteflame or BK scum which means a town loss anyway. At this point not lynching is just delaying the inevitable if town is destined to lose.

Vader seems to think I'm the most town, but five minutes later I'm the most scum. Odd

@Best.Korea
I agree mostly except Barney's claim seems unreasonable for scum. He was tracking roles so he shouldn't have claimed he visited an ascetic when he didn't. You think he would have updated his chart and made a different claim as scum. He also could have said he got action failed if he was scum and Austin was town. He did also say his attention this game was compromised and he essentially has the same role as earth in practical terms.
I keep talking myself out of it but pretty sure the scum team is Vader barney as well and I think denying GP a win is also funny so am down to lynch today. I assume the solidifies me you and whiteflame as willing to vote Vader. We just have to find the 4th member of town either Austin or barney and get them to agree to the lynch.

@ILikePie5
I am not so sure. I have some certifications I am studying for and have fell behind so now I have to cram for the next two months.
These aren't skills I have a knack for either just stuff I randomly decided to learn at 40 with no prior experience.

That one was mostly about federal funding but districts also tie test results to teacher pay
Which is fair. If you want to pretend we all are equal and that teaching minorities are literally the same as teaching white kids than technically test scores would reflect hat belief in equality and would be a measure of how much a teacher sucks at her job.
If these liberal teachers don't like it because it leaves less funding or lower teacher pay for schools in black neighborhoods than these liberal teachers need to explain why they re racists

By the way in PM pie said that if barney was doctor and visited ascetic he would be informed his action failed. Barney also has essentially the same role as earth. I think he is the safest lynch. Also it is very high risk for Austin to fake an ascetic claim knowing if anyone targeted him he is auto.atically ousted. So maybe lynch barney and than Vader. I don't know

It looks bad for Vader but this is very high effort. I also don't really respect his intelligence enough s cum to put himself in towns shoes and then think getting modkilled would be a good strategy but it would.
I will day I have no problem personally as mod putting my thumb on the scales and ending the dp over an intentional modkill but since pie is above that it is something Vader should do if he is town.

I’m a bit on the younger side for this website, considering I’m still not in high school🥲.With that being said, state exams are coming up, and while I have done good on them, I wanna do better. What should I improve on to get better scores? The subjects are math, ELA, and science.
If you even have to try your life is already over. I never even tried and always killed it in exams.
Also if you are going to say to study, I will respectfully ignore it. I hate studying and I always will. I never get anything new from studying. And in this case we only know what the subjects are, not the material, so studying is useless in this scenario anyways.
Just be smart bro. Google nootropics and experiment with them.
And no, this isn’t the SAT or ACT. It’s some stupid middle school exam. I don’t entirely know what it does but I think it determines how much you learned and who you will be with the next year.
Here is the no bullshit thing those exams decide and the only thing those exams decide. How much funding the government gives your school specifically. Nobody but you will ever know what you scored in those exams. They measure your teachers competence and no your teacher will never admit that.
I have slept with teachers a this is the most stressful time of year for them, because your scoring on those exams effects them. If you like your teacher and want he school to have enough funding to give her a raise than give a shit. If your teacher sucks, let her suffer

@Vader
Not even a troll. If I copy and pasted my DM he said I'd be modkilled on the spot. That would give town a 3v2 advantage and confirm my town and give us essentially a LYLO situation. Asked the precussions and he said I'd be banned from games. It honestly was smart and was considering doing the gambit but I'd rather play in his games
After this game mafia will likely be on pause for like 6 months and pie will forget. Just do it if this is true.

i think for now we should assume me whiteflame and BK are town. We know that between vader, barney and austin one of thoe 3 are town and I guess based on Barney's results it makes no sense for barney and Austin to be scum together so it mean the scum team now that I process it more is either
1. Barney Vader
2. Austin Vader
Shit okay I think Vader might be the right choice here but something makes me not want to pull that trigger.

@whiteflame
Also, given that I believe we have a solid lynch this DP, I think our better bet is to lynch Vader and VTNL next DP if we're still uncertain.
If I was as confident about super as you than I would agree but i see some worlds where any combination of Austin barney and Vader could be scum. Austin is ascetic which is aa scummy role. Also barney claimed to protect him which not only is inherently suspicious but also Austin claimed to be ascetic a so barney should have had a failed message and relayed that to us but didn't. I find it more likely that barney is lying about his role than Austin as well not hay it makeshift more likely to be scum

@Vader
Why specifically Austin as your top target? Just curious on your analysis of him and want to see if I missed something
I am sure that even if you are scum than your result I trustworthy of whiteflame given it is an odd gambit by scum. I buy BK being town after he failed to attempt to fake a guilty onnsomebody when whiteflame could effectively vouch for his guilty result after gifting him.
I like your behavior other than the claim and timing of it, so if you are scum I would rather you be the final scum lynched as opposed to the first one.
Austin was working real hard at figuring out my role in dp1 and why it would benefit me to have GP dead. Of course the benefit in Hindsight is obvious. We already know he is guilty so my any dream that includes him is useless.
He was guessing all kinds of anti town roles. Why did only roles that could work to get me lynched come up? Why not roles like dreamer?
Austin didn't want to commit to a lynch. This is a common scum tell. Usually they thu k helping a lynch that is bad reflects on them. Ironically this also means they remove likely to vote with town.
Austin cannot make behavioral reads. Everything seems mechanical, perhaps because all behavioral reads would be bullshit and he either has an issue with dishonesty or feels subconscious he will be seen through very easily.
His behavior seems phony. Like not genuine as if he is playing a part and it crosses me as lacking authenticity.

I guess me and whiteflame are close to confirmed town so I will just make my opinions clear and he should make his opinions clear this DP and our statements should be carefully heeded next DP and we should put ourselves at lylo.
If barney is in fact town than he should probably flip a coin between me and whiteflaem and scum should be forced to remove somebody from one of our scum pools.

- Care to explain why a Vader and Barney team isn't possible..?
I forget my reasoning for that and just like Chesterton post I am unlikely to change my opinion on that until I remember why I had it to start with
Created:

@Vader
This is an excellent point and makes me think a lot more into Barney. We for sure know that there was some form of protective role in this game and that makes Barney's claim a lot more tough to believe in this scenario. With Ascetic Bodyguard and Lightning Rod, I feel like one of these is lying and I'm more inclined to say it's Barne
Barney claimed to target Austin to protect as well and never gave feedback such as "action failed" which is odd.
