It's more of a legal issue than anything. This site is a 13+ site and we starting enforcing the rule more because of the fact that COPPA made things much stricter on sites. We have no issue with Deadfire and would keep him if legal concerns weren't an issue
There is no internet police coming to arrest the mods if some Russian website allows 12 year olds on it. Please stop with the stupidity and urge the mods in mod chats to also stop with this stupidity.

But black people score lower not because they are stupid. It is because they on average receive less education. Still a problem though.
Education and IQ aren't related other than the fact that education acts as a sort of filter that keeps lower IQs out. IQ is innate intelligence (the ability to problem solve).
My highest level of education is the 9th grade. Psychologists performing IQ tests on me have determined it to be genius level. They also curiously enough have determined me to be learning disabled, but the point is. I didn't get my IQ from education. I have none. I'm very uneducated.
IQ tests really just test problem solving skills. Problem solving is a good test of innate intelligence and innate intelligence is a mixture of environmental and genetic things, but mostly genetic in first world countries.

are you answering questions in the DP?

GP is apparently town confirmed because of the Copy and paste rule confirmation.
We have whiteflame who asked in a PM or a discord chat about GP's "slip".
What's the motivation to ask in chat? If he is town, it is anti town because it is something that may have went unnoticed by Pie. If he is scum, he gets a free elimination on GP.
I Don't see any good reason for asking, especially in a PM instead of publicly and risking a free kill on a town.

There's good reasons, not only corrupt reasons, why we trust information and claims made by those with greater authority in a field than those with very little.
Authority in the field is determined by the establishment for reasons that align to whatever narrative they want to push.
For example when the "killing fields" of pol pot were happening, every liberal academic called it a conservative conspiracy and the overwhelming evidence was said to be from cranks.
It's a pretty typical leftist tactic, and it didn't just randomly end after american academics defended pol pot by lying.

Can you name me a single right-wing society/nation that isn't rampant with appeal to authority
It's equally stupid in right wing societies, but their appeals are different. Liberals behave like I mention with those appeals to authority and conservatives are more like
"Derp just obey cops and bend over for the government and you won't get shot, derp"
It's just stupid shit of a different variety.

I could be a fake human for all you know and so are 90% of the people you, "know".That's a lot of fantasy wafting off of your bad math
It could be, but have you ever argued with a solispsist?

If somebody makes just a penny over minimum wage it wouldn't count in these statistics would it?
So I would examine some number like how many people make less than $12 an hour or some other shit level of pay. I think standard of living can be dramatically different between 15 and 12 and hour and barely any difference between 12 and 9, so 12 is fair. What percent of people make less than $12 an hour?

I think it will be useful to explore the liberal psychology in this area. I'll go into detail on it later. Uncle Ted actually explains the liberal psychology at least for a segment of liberals, pretty well in his manifesto.

appeal to authority is something that will always be a problem in any heavily liberal environment. Establishment bias means and liberals having control of the establishment means that sources considered credible by the establishment and also coincidentally funded by the establishment, will be liberally biased. It's not that there are no experts that agree with conservative positions (even many who are liberal), it's just that the establishment chooses which experts get heard.
Since liberals are intellectually lazy (part of the reason they uncritically accept whatever the establishment tells them), they will just lazily say
1. Believe A, because expert said believe A.
You can respond that the experts premises are flawed or that experts disagree, but they just come back with.
1. This is an establishment backed expert, and premises should be ignored for the experts opinion, however if we do look at premises, the silenced experts premises aren't to be trusted because they don't have the backing of CNN.

The laws of thermodynamics show that the universe will eventually end in a heat death.

“Ok, there is a flood, therefore if you steal or say “OMG” uselessly or be an atheist you will burn after you die”
That is not how God works. God is not some judgemental father criticizing your every move.
He doesn't want you to steal for the same reasons the atheist stoic didn't want you to. It hurts you, the Bible does allow exceptions if you are hungry and cannot afford food. He doesn't harshly punish the impoverished for things they need to do to survive.
Your conception of hell was formed by fire and brimstone preachers. It isn't portrayed as a fire pit where you will be tortured. God loves all his children, even those who don't love him.
Hell merely means a separation from God in the afterlife. Hell is as separate as you can get from an omnipresent being. God respects free will, so he will not force himself on you.
You won't burn in hell as an atheist, or even for using the lords name in vain. Most Christians still sin, but they should be as sinless as possible and seek forgiveness. Not in an OCD way, wondering what actions technically qualify, but in their heart and in a general way, seek forgiveness for their transgressions and redemption where possible.
It's called faith for a reason intelligence, however God does allow you to test him. He says to give him money, and he will return it to you 3 fold.
Go give a God fearing church $100 right now, or whatever you can comfortably afford but it feels significant. It will come back to you 3 fold. I promise. Many churches allow you to do this and offer you a refund for your donation as well, if the test fails. I'll find one that offers a refund if you want. Just go test God, he'll take care of you. Just Don't test him in other ways.

That is literally fake news as in fraud, that paper should be sued and pay compensation to all European governments for the disinformation.
It gave real statistics of European socialized medicine and compared it to American stats. Which statistic did you think was incorrect.
Also lifespan of other nations really has to do with the fact, Americans eat McDonald's and other shit food every day, when we look at how well they are treated when they go to the hospital, they survive easier. Granted they may have a bill on their credit report, but companies usually ignore medical bills when evaluating credit, so it never needs to be paid back. I'd rather have debt than be dead like in europe

They only trope that really passes me off in shows is when they have the hero choose the decision where they sacrifice the one to save the many, but they always refuse to do so and put the many at risk to save the one. I always think anybody who can't make the right decision there, is not a real hero

I would consider threats of violence more severe than threats to dox, but this is what's written.
People literally threaten to kill me multiple times a day where I work. Most threats do no damage. Doxxing however can be problematic and is not conducive to an environment where everyone gives their best arguments. If you have to worry about being doxxed, it does create an element of having to worry if defending a view, will carry into your real life. That is problematic, because many people like debating devil's advocate. It's also a problem if you have views that most of society disagrees with or even just the people close to you disagree with.
Personally. I don't care that much about being doxxed. I would prefer not to, but it can hurt some people really badly, where as threats are just unsettling, but mostly harmless.

@Lunatic
Death note, berserk, one punch man, attack on titan, and dragon ball z are the only real animes I got into.
I can't get into them but want to. I know one punch man is hilarious and I watched that. I liked the death note concept, so watched the movie and enjoyed it, but I do want to see the anime one.
Attack on titan I Don't know about, but DragonBall Z I think I have no chance of getting into. My 5 year old watches Pokémon and ninjago, so I assume it is something like that, so not enjoyable for me. Oh and he likes mini force X. Not mini force, he throws a fit if I put that on, but mini force X. I assume dragon ball is the same type of show.

Nice job abstaining from joining either of those mislynches. I don't see a world where I would have votes for you.
I'm the worst kind of mix between patient scum and high risk high reward moves as well.

I think luna and pie tunneling each other hurt the town. I thought that NK analysis and lynch analysis would be huge this game, so I wanted players in who would actually use it, and an NK on whiteflame indicated a noob scum team.

From what I heard he looked someone up then PM'd that person and ostensibly attempted to trade the knowledge of how he found out. Names and other things were ostensibly given as proof that he had the goods.
that doesn't sound like doxxing. That sounds like just proof he had a skill he was willing to share how to do.
Ragnar,
If the above is true, you guys are huge pieces of shits. Just recently I had a user PM me my real name who has had problems with me in the past. In no way did I interpret that as threatening.
If death did not make any real threats and merely just identified somebody in a private PM, so they could teach them the skill of doxxing, than that is not actual doxxing (doxxing must be public) and it certainly does not sound like a threat.

I'll say it also looks pretty good for lunatic that for the most part, he was trying to avoid lynching evil until it came down to lynch evil or no lynch.

the NK may suggest inexperienced scum as well.
We are actually lucky they went after whiteflame. He isn't good at behavioral analysis and seems to think behavioral tells are pseudo science or something.

Here is the wagon
Evilgenius (5/5) - Pie, whiteflame, drleb, supadudz, lunatic
Given how the lynch came through at the last second, it wouldn't surprise me to see 2 scum on the wagon, with at least one being a late vote. I think we should no lynch today, but if forced to choose somebody, I think I would go lebronsky

Honestly an easy decision here. Maybe provide some NK analysis and lynch analysis before moving on. VtNL
