Epstein?

Should have elected this guy president of Canada.

I think I'm highly self-aware and other-aware owing to having grown up with a whole bunch of hardened criminals and one honest-to-god psychopath. TBH. Funny one, I think. I am fairly unbeatable at games like poker and I think mafia I've shown myself to be pretty good at on here also. I think I was always decently clever on top of that, but that's been dulled over the years by repeated blows to the head, chemical as well as physical. I dunno, I think I've always been good at seeing through it all to the why a person says or does whatever. I think I understand where my own values and opinions come from too and I'm proud in it tbh. I think I have an easy time of it though. Not spiteful or jealous. Was plenty loved as a kid, plenty loved now. Had plenty of ability. Never saw an inadequacy in myself for it grow and fester in my mind. Most of the wrong opinions in the world belong to ugly virgins. Honesty comes easy when you're not that. 

Someone give me one quick last entry into HoF for longest dong. 

I got no flame. Might roll through DebateCraft eventually if you guys don't change the name on me (you should, it's terrible). 

It's been real. Peace out homies. 

Bit silly if this site is just going in the bin. There was a lot went into this.

Yes it is.

And what about the multi-billion dollar companies you'll compete with? They happily shove over, give up land to you at a decent price, not upbid you at every step,  on materials and talent too? I mean, they will probably try to crush you every step of the way. But then you just hire a team of lawyers on top of it all! Get even more sick old people to invest with you!

And at the end of it all, they all own a tiny fraction of who the fuck knows what. Swag's timeshares. 

Ok call center guy. 

Ah of course. You are struggling to pay your rent. Of course the answer is to instead buy 10 houses and rent them out. You are old and infirmed and can't afford to pay the costs of the nursing home, well, build your own nursing home! How obvious!

Ok call center guy.

Don't think I've ever read a dumber post. 

Oh you're poor? Well why not just go set up your own company, buy thousands of acres of land, organise hundreds of investors, organise talent, outcompete the already existing multi-billion dollar companies already doing all of this stuff? Of course!

A good economic system must do two things, create AND distribute wealth. Communism failed the first. Central planning was too cumbersome and not transparent. Capitalism is failing the second and fast. How this isn't beyond obvious I don't know. Drastic correction is needed. 

All right zed, all that is lovely to hear but it's got practically zero to do with the question at hand.

This is the issue and this is the world your grandkids will be living in. It isn't the same world you grew up and worked in and the same comfort you had will be a lot harder come by. 

Wealth is concentrating in the hands of the very few at an alarming rate. Your grandkids will afford half of what you did if they're lucky. Will you tell them not to be envious of the successful?

Where a vanishingly small group of people control access to the entire wealth of the world, it isn't just about education and working hard anymore. Fair wages happens when wealth is concentrated in the middle class. It's an easy enough sort of sense. You pay the next guy for his services what you would ask of him for similar service and so we all get our fair share. You'll each get it from someone else otherwise.

What if you have nothing and the next guy has it all? Who else do you go to?
You go work a sweatshop.

Retarded, dude. 90% of the site's activity is directed into these dumb threads because you have annoyed people beyond their limit across threads and mafia games and retardo DMs.

You draw 90% of this forum's activity into the top board by constant obnoxious whining. 

Elon Musk, ketamine addled lunatic who earns more in a minute than the average American household earns in 4.5 years, just gutted funding to social programs. That is so far beyond absurd it's incredible.

Just curious zed, you write this not envying success stuff a lot like it's supposed to be some transcendent attitude. Can you not for a second imagine that the game is rigged? Or is it just total failing of intellect for you which leaves you with only your own dumb feelings to contend with? Just try real hard, zed, one more time. 

Imagining you working in some call center taking these calls and saying this shit whilst secretly cherishing your right-wing looney beliefs is some disturbing shit dude. You are a customer service worker. Why are you having daytime ultra capitalism jack-off fantasies?

Baffling. 

I don't see you guys having any other politician who isn't running on some lunatic Christian brand or who isn't an Obama clone. Trump's popularity is in abusing the mentally unwell and broke Mexicans, somehow the new Jews of the American Nazi regime, except the Jews had fucking money. When does this translate into any actual good for anyone?

That bird was Jesus Christ's stamp of approval on Bernie.

I mean I think you and thett raise some very valid concerns e.g. entire departments full of Indians. But I don't think any democrat is going to look at that and think it's okay either. And nobody is just letting crime happen. Maybe it's an issue because you're stuck managing a political tug of war instead, but nobody wants crime. Nobody does. 

Bernie Sanders, AOC, how are these not the future we all want? 4 day workweek, paid the real value of our labour. It won't be at the cost of crime everywhere. We won't be taken advantage of in our naivety. The only reason people aren't listening to thett now is because they can't get over the fact that he elected a fucking lunatic billionaire sociopath. What we need to manage is our wealth. That is the real game. That's the wool the ultra rich are trying to pull over your eyes. Nobody fucking wants crime.

Ok but how was Bernie Sanders not a no-brainer? Man is talking about tax the rich and 4 day workweek. Instead you guys elect an ignorant reality tv star.

Skep I think you might be the only American with a brain. Please do dig up more of my posts. I went at it on wealth inequality a while back and got nothing out of these lot. Maybe the issue needs your poetry.

Of the 3 I find you the least offensive but you still drive so much stupid drama. One day you should sit back and take an honest assessment of what you're up to on this website.

Playing house makes this website about playing house. Bottom line.

I just want to delete GP's, RM's and the pedo guy's accounts. Nobody is interacting with those 3 and looking at the forum leaderboards and thinking yeah this is a good place to discuss ideas. Or delete forum posts count or the forum leader board or something.

Just talking about direction for the site just for fun. This cliquey presidential elections top board drama stuff was always bad for the site and changed the community and the forums in a big way. Well, made it a social site for young people anyway. But if you actually want the site to fill up with people like it used to then get the site listed on google and stop playing so much house. This site will always have a limited userbase if it's a social site. You can only have so many friends. But if it's just about ideas and opinions any amount of people can get involved. No adult is finding this place as it is now and thinking this is a good use of their time.

I have been here the longest. I know my stuff. I mean besides sadolite but I wouldn't count on him to know anything at all tbh. I mean no offense to all here, it is a natural thing to make friends. But that google hang outs group changed the community in a big way.

Guns are an analogue for the prisoner's dilemma. One of my better ideas tbh. A cop pulls up to a scene, he's much more likely to shoot someone because he expects everyone has guns. Any confrontation, guns are pulled, because either you're pulling it or you're having it pulled on you. Sure, at an individual level, it makes sense to go get yourself a gun. But then everyone does. Then you got a bunch of demented kids bringing them to school.

You got a bunch of countries screaming death to America. You got all your neighbours armed to the teeth to kill you. You live in the most hyper individualistic country in the world, no healthcare, no free college, nothing. No wonder your kids are nuts.

America is the sacrificial lamb of the world. Give yourselves a break.

Ya know as much of a lunatic as Wylted is, I don't think I've ever seen him take or give any real offense. It's just fuckery all day long. Very unique individual. 

Wylted's got a soft spot for the creeps of the world. 

I also probably will not engage with you at all unless I feel you have the requisite intelligence to be changed. 

I engage in psychological warfare tbh. I'm not ever too kind about it either. Don't really bother with facts or stats or studies because for the most part I don't have them, but I have a sense of things and that's enough to work with. I am probably pretty unkind about making out the difference there with other people. I am always at all times trying to collapse world views. I'm taking a sledge hammer to the supporting beams of a building. I'm fascinated to watch the thing fall down. Honestly I'll read your next 20 posts after I've interacted with you. I am watching the effect of my words. 

I should probably apologise for all that. Probably a bit fucking psycho. Nothing anyone is writing on here matters and I am treating it way too seriously.

You are getting worse dude.

Why don't you go on Tinder and try and get some girls or something dude? What do you ever gain from writing this dumb shit all day long?

Bit cheesy, but to love is salvation. 

Dunno if anyone reading is following all that. But I think I just spoke my ultimate truth. 

They're the 2 AM alone in the dark sort of thoughts where the world seems to bend. I'm back in my family home tonight. I put my 15 year old dog down today. 

Mind is the beginning of all things, not the big bang. The latter is just a less frightening idea.

I believe in conscience. I think we tell ourselves all sorts of things in a bid to assuage it, and that all our actions are predetermined is one of those things just as much as that some dude died for our sins already. I don't know where conscience comes from. I mean the sort that seems to extend to the end of the universe where a god might be listening to have his feelings hurt. Something a little schizo in it I guess, but I believe in it. That's where Christianity gets its hooks in. Some people seek their salve in other ideas, but that is plainly what they're doing too. I'm a bit of a solipsist myself tbh. Conscience was there before I knew anything else. It's got deep roots. Done plenty wicked too, probably I need a stronger draft. 

That is a good one. Good to see you buddy.

I'm gonna go read the red-haired urchin one. 

I don't think they're all shitty. I think some of them just want to believe in god. I get that too even if most times I'm embarrassed to admit it.

But I really do believe the real hook in Christianity is carte blanche. It's a salve to conscience. 

Yeah Skepsikyima or something is best I got too.

No chance anyone remembers how to spell Skep's full DDO name. Don't think I ever bothered to know how to pronounce it, which is the issue.

I mean it's a shitty bunch of people that doesn't seem to have a counterpart amongst the irreligious. And it's not a small group either. 

My grandmas was a good Christian and I would have never begrudged her it. My heart goes out to all the innocent Christian grandmas out there. 

100% down to ban the paedophile guy. Baffling he hasn't been. 

Again edeb8 was first page Google result for years. It was a shambles of a website. 
I don't think we got to play a game of Google algorithms or anything. It's gotta be something about the website itself. 

It also isn't banning people is the issue like all the momentum and hoorah going on in that other thread.

Highly doubt that's the issue.
Also isn't the popularity thing. edeb8 was first page listed for years and it was a tragic.

Ads also are honestly up to nothing. I bet not one single person here clicked an ad to find DDO. 

I'll take all the halfways agreements I can get. I'm positive that Christianity is pure moral corruption in the first world though. Historically and in the more brutal places today I can give it a pass. 

Nah. Mortgage and a dog. An even more desperate situation. 

The food is good though.

I just think that Christianity seems to make for an unusual amount of morally bankrupt human beings. 

I think it's fairly obviously that Christianity is social engineering that has fallen into severe disrepair.
