@Lunatic: Thoughts on literally anything that's happened up to this point? There's been a lot of pressuring going on and you've been kinda quiet for someone who said that they're hoping that this playerlist can generate activity.
@coal: how sold are you on your lunatic townread?

I have never played with oro before but he seems a bit overeager. May just be that that is his style and he likes to generate discussion and be provocative to see how people react, but also could be a scum tell. I have nothing else to add about him though. Zaradi, idk. I could see why he responded the way he did in either direction. Nothing to say at this time
I don't think you could've sat more directly on the center of this fence if you tried. Well done.

It is also weird that Zaradi immediately jumps
If 74 and 78 aren't me setting up to pressure Oro, which come before Oro's really weird readslist change, then idk what to tell you fam

Why are you posting a reads list but making an RVS vote?
Also why are you making an RVS vote when we're not in RVS anymore?

Hey why not play the game instead of talking to people who aren't in the game?

@coal
Because those votes seemed like RVS votes. To be perfectly clear to everyone, mine isn't. Set-up spec is a pretty easy thing for scum to hide behind in an open set up to try and look active and productive.
Also why question my vote target when you're not even voting?

@TheRealNihilist
Why are you so mad?
I'm not?
you choose to attack him instead of actually changing his mind?
I mean, I'm attacking the idea in 90% of my comments in this thread. The fact that you choose to only look at 10% of my comments isn't my fault. Moreover, I can't make him change his mind.
I thought people would actually try to help the people who can be helped but guess we always have people like you.

Not to mention that if you're trying to quantify the suffering caused by racism:
1. You can't quantify dehumanization.
2. Even if you could, measuring it by a body count sure as hell isn't the way to do it.
3. Even if it was the way to do it, saying that not enough people have died for espousing racist views to be morally repugnant bites back into a racist narrative that says "your suffering isn't worth moral consideration".

@Discipulus_Didicit
<br>Alec I need a favor from you. I've been having a bit of a rough few weeks and while this thread is getting me close to smiling, I just need a little extra help. I got a question for you:Are you white? Please tell me you're white.He posted a link to his YouTube channel in the past. Several videos showed his face and he is, unsurprisingly, a whitey.
God that's too fucking good. Not only is the white guy trying to tell black people that it's okay to use a word that's historically been used to dehumanize and other-ize the black body, but that their oppression and discrimination is just "an unpopular opinion" and should be protected by the state.
What year is it? 2020 or 1820?

Admittedly having Lucky saves some of my notes from being thrown out, but I'm not quite ready to start. I was initially expecting to have Warren's game as a buffer for me to finish and it's taking me longer than I expected to get things set up. I'll reconfirm with people as I get closer, but right now I'm gonna plan on being ready by the 1st of March.

in a society based off of the working class, someone has to suffer.
That's quite the claim there. Wanna warrant that claim?

dont do a school presentation on something political, you never know someones views
+1. As someone who has taken three years of communications courses in college, it's really not a good idea to do persuasive presentations on political issues.

@Dr.Franklin
50 people is a normal study
You keep saying this, yet you've never explained why, nor explained why my reasoning it's too small is wrong. It sounds like you're kinda mad I'm not just blindly accepting something said on the internet.
every study use those "well we need to clarify
Lol. No, not every study says that. Just the ones who know they don't have conclusive evidence.
The fact they got is that use of the pill cecreases your brain
Ignoring the fact that I've explained how the people who made and published the study you're talking about disagree with you, that's not even what the study is saying. To quote the article:
To gauge the structure's volume, the researchers used MRI scans of 50 women, 21 of whom were taking a combination pill
So, at best, the study says "birth control may be correlated with smaller regions of the brain" rather than "birth control causes shrinking of regions of the brain".
Angry feminisnt?
Initially laughing feminist because of your inability to comprehend basic english. Now, more just kinda sad feminist. I just feel sorry for you.

@Dr.Franklin
so what you saying is that study finds smaller brain but other study finds inclusisive evidence-so it leans to smaller brain
Wow. To quote directly from the article (again):
some studies suggest that women on the pill have smaller brain structures, while others reveal they have bigger or similar-size structures
So no, there's no "lean" in any direction.
50 people is a normal study, why do you try and dispute
Since reading doesn't seem to be your strong suit, I'll repeat what I said before:
"You are trying to make a number of claims using this article as evidence that are generalized to a national/global scale. 50 people extended out to that extent is tiny."
To be clear, a sample size of 50 to make a claim of "hey there is some correlation between birth control pills and smaller sections of the brain" is fine. A sample size of 50 to make claims like:
Women of previous generations, before the boomers, were likely nicer, happier, and less prone to be sluts.
...is nowhere near large enough.

Doesnt debunk the fact they got
Bruh, the fucking article says that it's not conclusive. It's far from a "fact".

Also, the paragraph right above the one I just quoted:
Indeed, the effects of oral contraceptives on the brain remain unclear. A growing body of evidence, including the current study, suggests that there are differences in the volumes of certain brain regions in women on birth control pills, said Nicole Petersen, a neuroendocrinology researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, who was not involved in the study. But findings on this topic haven't always been consistent — some studies suggest that women on the pill have smaller brain structures, while others reveal they have bigger or similar-size structures, she said.
Bolded is my own emphasis.

Bruh. Did you actually read the article or just look at the headline?
1. The sample size for the study was 50 people. Five zero. That's fucking minuscule.
2. The people who ran the study says that this evidence isn't conclusive of anything. To copy pasta from the article:
It's still too early to conclude how oral contraceptives affect the brain, if at all, Lipton said. "We're not saying that people should run out and throw away their birth control pills," he said. If anything, the results may simply point to a question that warrants more research, he added.
