Didn't you have a whole spiel literally yesterday about how you were abandoning negativity or some shit?
Looks like it worked really well, congratulations.
Probably doesnt remember because his bac so was so high
Nobody is bootlicking
what do you have to do to get a suspended licence where you live? You basically have to be a dangerous driver and could have killed someone right? If anything they should be on their knees thanking the courts for just a fine rather than prison
I mean dont do shit to get a license suspended?
Maybe don't break the law when it comes to driving. Driving is a privilege not a right
Joke topic, confirmed.
Im the blue hes the gray
Good for you man. I have ADHD / OCD and I tend to get drawn into pointless debate of trivial things. I try to be better. Sometimes I slip but Im definitely better. Being away and honest of the challenges is the first step. Hope it works out for you bro.
The only reason I mentioned you getting worked up, is because it's very easy to fall foul of the rules around flaming specifically when in such a mindset - which I believe is what you were actually getting hit for?
I don't disagree the mods can be horrifically arbitrary and inconsistent here. But the flaming rule is one thing that they ARE pretty consistent on, and is fairly objective.
I'm not sure what you consider good or bad faith but I've pointed out I have sympathy for the fact they're doing what they need to do to make money. I also said it sucks that these companies they work for are very certainly fucking these poor saps over for paying them probably criminally under substantiated wages and preying upon their lack of skills with the language. (yes, I'll use that word again because that's the core of my argument) Would you trust a company that hires people who don't speak a single word?
It's strange to accuse racism when I would never mention any particular group of people. I've seen individuals from many different backgrounds who all equally fail to put a single sentence together, including Europeans.
Look, I hear what you're saying. But this isn't about me getting pissed off at people who walk up to me and shove a phone in my face with a blank stare (but that's apart of it which I will gladly not deny) but this is 2024 so while it's easy to use a phone to use shitty translation apps, it's also easy to use a phone to pick up even the basic phrases.
If they want to improve and learn English, great! I mean it. I'm happy for that. But it's just a pain when it cuts into other people's jobs and, even more than that (so this is beyond just me which is a big point of mine here so people get I'm not being selfish) when someone can't really communicate with those around them and these delivery companies cut every single corner they can with probably almost literal wage slavery.
You did get pretty worked up in that topic, and from what I understand at least one of the moderations was for flaming. That's always been against the rules, and getting worked up can make one more prone to (somewhat mindlessly) falling foul of it.
I literally just said I'm not saying you're an alt. I guess I should clarify that I'm also not saying you have any alts.
And everything in your post I quoted before. Every single individual point. Some of the phrasing is dead on too.
This place is def enough of an echo chamber to the point that topics become landmines and CE will die out faster than it already is because of it. I am obviously against bigotry and the like but sometimes it seems like some posters play dumb/instigate in order to goad people into getting suspended. Its fucking annoying
I'm not saying you're an alt, but I am saying that you sound just like the guy who threw the 1 man CE closure party did back in early-mid 2020. Legit the exact same points and everything.
Unpopular here on current events.
Some recent "vacations" from this website have made me realize how echo chambery this place is
The stunt you pulled in the Super straight topic was trolling, period. There was absolutely no reason for you to go into that topic and start shit, (other than you're high on your own victim complex).
By all means, continue to just melt down in as many topics as possible so that we can be done with your nonsense.
Their endless bullshit, it has nothing to do with politics.
And as soon as they're off Warned, they instantly start trolling topics to start more shit, because they're triggered that they got modded.
Just say goodbye to them now.
...Which is separate from what you initially brought up. Gay, bi and transmen are also part of that statistic.
Presumably the Super Straight topic, where they actively went after Error for not accepting their both sides-ing wasn't something that should make them a protected class.
Separate issues
We're talking strictly about the "oppression" of heterosexual people. We can talk about demographics that can ALSO be heterosexual that are under attack for different reasons, like a heterosexual woman being under attack via Roe v. Wade being overturned but that's not what this discussion is about.
This dude is over here comparing women making tweets about straight men to lawmakers literally trying to get rid of minorities
This was many years ago, but I remember getting my first moderation and it was because I was speaking a different language to some other Vietnamese users and I remember the moderation said "only American allowed" instead of "only English allowed" lol. Obviously they are a lot lenient on that now, but it was pretty hilarious.
Do you think that's happening because they are heterosexual men?
Because that's the point of the discussion, not "one of the two largest demographics have a higher incidence of events because of basic probability."
Heterosexual men aren't being murdered and targeted for being heterosexual you fucking dimwit
I don't have to leave the house in fear that someone will kill me BECAUSE I'm cisgender and like the opposite sex. I don't have to live in fear that government officials are going to take my rights away and phase me and people like me out of existence for being straight
Straight people are NOT. OPPRESSED.
Wow guys, the demographic that's thousands of times larger is murdered more frequently than the demographic that takes up less than 1% of the population. I am a fucking genius.
Get this dude the fuck out of here lmao. It's time for you to be shown the door
I can't believe dude posted that shit in earnest lmao. That's gotta be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read. What laws are there targeting heterosexual men's lives, rights and healthcare
"Well uhhhh idk but Buzzfeed wrote an article about some women tweeting things". Who fucking cares.
Don't bring up "black men" because that's completely separate and completely irrelevant.
Weird, the post said "heterosexual men."
Gee, I wonder which of those groups is in actual danger.
They don't need defending
A vocal minority about what, pray tell?
This subject is about as serious as it can be for some. If you can't see how some folks might be a little heated when they think someone is dogwhistling bigoted speech to them, you are increasingly looking like you are here to start trouble than actually post your support.
That happened to me ,and for some reason when people are ganging up on some using calling them names, attacking them left and right. That isn't trolling. I don't see how insults and flames are not trolling.
I don't think I have ever been modded. It's kind of easy when you don't insult other users
Men are trash is an actual problem in your world?
Get better friends, mate. Or treat your friends better, perhaps.
its actually insidious if u guys call my posts stupid
ur part of a sinister ring of virtue signaling sjws
everyones out to get me, a man
I'll just point out that the people who are claiming that no such thing happens are EXACTLY the people who always engage in it.
Your guess is as good as mine as to whether it's gaslighting or just "it doesn't count when we do it because, like everyone else, we genuinely believe we're in the right".
Yeah that's fair, that is a fair moderation, completely agreed. If that is soley what he was moderated and warned about, then fair enough. I do completely agree with a quote change moderation. Not a flame/trolling one here like I was lead to believe.
TC, I hope you dont get banned but youre toeing the line here. Just remember, theres no point in wasting energy over anyone who would subscribe to a men are trash rhetoric anyway. Theres been multiple mature viewpoints on the topic here and I hope you deal with those instead
That is not what I said at all, the self-fulfilling prophecy is that men who aren't misogynists are afraid to say anything about being hurt, not that they turn into people like you.
shut the fuck up lmao
Man so weird that you continue acknowledging being called out on fabricating the absolutely dumbest of shit, OP.
kudos for sticking to the shtick.
"The only men who complain about being hurt by how they're viewed are misogynists" is a self-fulfilling prophecy,
I don't mean to make any absolute points about which demographics suffer more, but rather to highlight that the comparisons can fluctuate based on various circumstances.
There's a difference between the poster boy of rich white male privilege Donald Trump making this topic and some harmless guy in a basement tired of being viewed through a different lens over events he never participated in or gained anything from making it, and we have no idea where anyone on the scale falls, but some people respond as if it's someone closer to the former example by default.
