@Alec
If someone who believes they are transgender wants to believe that, then fine.However, when they try to implement legislation that forces other people to believe the same thing, which goes against their beliefs, then it goes too far.California made misgendering a felony because of the transgenders. In the state, misgendering carries a harsher sentence than willingly spreading AIDS.Because of this, not all, but many transgenders are a threat to the 1st amendment. I met a transgender person once and they tried to get me in trouble for me stating my opinion.
I am immediately skeptical when I hear claims like this as they are almost always distortions of truths, mutated through various internet forms of the telephone game which ultimately leads to a source which misrepresents the facts.
Is it true to say that "California made misgendering a felony because of the transgenders?" No, it is not.
The bill in question is SB219. It's primary target is on long-term care facilities and how they may treat their residents. This includes, yes, misgendering, if it is repeated and willful.
The penalty for violation of this law is a fine up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail which falls under the category of misdemeanor, rather than felony.
So, no, misgendering is not a felony in California. Abuse and discrimination of residents in long-term care facilities, of which misgendering is one example of, is a misdemeanor.
I'm sorry that a transgendered person hurt your feelings once. This does not make them a threat to the first amendment (the bill was sponsored by Scott Wiener and signed into law by Jerry Brown, both of whom are cisgendered individuals as far as I can tell).

I have been collecting data on Mafia games. Basically Town-Mafia distributions, voting patterns, etc. Basically I've been moneyballing this shit. Or at least I've been trying to. Jury is out as to whether all of this data is useful or will help improve anyone's game. But it can be good for some fun.
So I present to you, 2019's* Mafia Superlatives!
* - Since this is the first one, I'm doing all of the data I have so far, going back to Bloodline in 2018.
Most Distrusting - e.g. "I don't care what faction you are, you gonna die."
(as town, highest percentage of votes against other town players)
Speedrace! (77%)
Best Scum Radar - e.g. "Oh, one more thing..."
(as town, highest percentage of votes against mafia players)
Disciplus! (46%)
Most Vegetative - e.g. "They're still in this game?"
(as either faction, highest percentage of non-votes or voting for no lynchers)
Mharman - (56%)
Most Cut Throat - e.g. "Beep! Beep! Bus coming through!"
(as mafia, highest percentage of votes against other mafia players)
GreyParrot & SupaDudz (25%)
Model Citizen - e.g. "I don't even lie on my taxes."
(played the most day phases as a town player)
WaterPhoenix (32)
Teflon Don - e.g. "You ain't got nothing on me, copper."
(played the most day phases as a mafia player)
Speedrace (13)

I agree that the universe "makes more sense" when you limit yourself to only examining it as far as your intuition goes. But actually isn't that simplistic. If it was, computers and GPS wouldn't work.

What makes you think the universe is consistent with our intuition? The two most accurate scientific theories in all human history are basically summed up as: "the universe is much weirder than we think."

Supa and I are discoed mods, not site mods. The owner is not a moderator either.

This is a common refrain. An active town will eat itself in the presence of inactive scum. Inactives should always be pressured. The fault lies in Supas complete and utter overreaction as well as the veterans (myself included) that allowed ourselves to get distracted by it. I remember thinking Supa was town, but ultimately just got fed up with his behavior and actually forgot about my town read.
Lynch all inactives.

Yeah. This 1x vig claim that could have cost the game is just rediculous.
I'm going for it.

Grey smiled at me, and you have to ask the question if he'd make such a comment knowing the chaos it could cause

@David
Grey heavily implied that scum had won because of his actions. I knew that it hasn't and was hoping he'd slip his partner's info thinking the game was over.

That's WIFOM and you know it. I could say that the cross between you two last phase was manufactured distancing.

I wanna say it's Virt because I think it be easy to assume I would immediately go after water and if I was going to go on scum, grey would have bombed me rather than toaster

You are right that there is no rule. I am, however, asking you politely to stop, voluntarily.

I have a number of issues with the Ontological argument.
1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists.
As defined (morally perfect, all knowing, all powerful) I don't believe that an MGB can exist. I am an incompatibilist when it comes to free will vs. omniscience.
2. If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great exists in some possible world.
Tautological; this is the definition of "possible."
3. If a maximally great exists in some possible world, then it exists in every possible world.
This does not follow from anything. It is usually stated that if it didn't exist in some possible world then it wouldn't be "maximally great" but this attribute of the MGB is not included (and does not step from) its definition. Furthermore, the definition of a being describes its existence in a possible world whereas saying it exists in all possible worlds is a meta description of it. Whether it exists or doesn't exist in one possible world vs. another has no impact on the nature of its existence in the worlds it does exist.
In short, this is saying that the MGB is necessary, that its nonexistence would constitute a logical contradiction, but this is not demonstrated.
4. If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then it exists in the actual world.
This is taken as a given.
5. If a maximally great exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.
Tautological.
6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists.
We can summarize this argument more succinctly:
1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists. (◇MGB)
2. If a maximally great being is possible, then it is necessary. (◇MGB → □MGB)
3. If a maximally great being is necessary, then it is actual. (□MGB → MGB)
4. A maximally great being is actual. (MGB)
This structure is valid, but are the premises (#1 & #2) true?
Franklin attempts to define God into existence by saying that it is a necessary being because if it wasn't it wouldn't be god. This is circular and tautological. You can't include "is true" in the definition of a statement and then consider the definition true.

BTW, If you've done what I think you've done, you've only made a 1-for-1 trade. That doesn't win the game for you.

I'm scum reading him right now. I think he played it cool last phase knowing supa would flip town so he could push for a mislynch at mylo and get a quick win.

Yes, I see your posts making claims as to what I believe. I am repudiating these claims.
