Whoever is the most popular I guess. That's why I hate the upvote/downvote system.


Not necessarily. If you think about it, most viral reddit posts came from people nobody had ever heard of. Sure, some people are going to upvote just due to popularity, but for many people, an upvote is going to be based on the post itself, and not simply who posted it.

Nah, you've gotta be edgy to get upvotes (if Reddit is any indicator).

I always lol when people say 'omg the upvotes/downvotes is just a big circlejerk!!' Sure beats the hell out of how the boards on this site get moderated. Jokes get deleted and actual trolling gets left up unless it's blatant name calling.


To be fair, this board has shifted greatly from the hyperliberal circlejerk it used to be, and things have toned down (like, WAY down...).

I suppose that's both a blessing and a curse.

I can't stand Upvoting / Downvoting in general, but I'm curious how it would play out on this site (especially since they've talked about implementing it in the past). If Gamefaqs ever (heaven forbid) actually did implement this, which PotDers do you think would have the absolute highest Upvotes here???

Personally, I'm guessing maybe PO, or Adjl (on a good day). Nade may also have a shot in certain topics. I would say Nudo, but he keeps leaving for such long periods, people forget about him.

What do you guys think??? If Gamefaqs turned into a mini-reddit (again, heaven forbid), who would dominate???

Granted they're not trying to defend him, per se. But, as a TL;DR - They're just pointing out that the "confirmation bias" cuts both ways (from each side of the political fence; left or right).

The problem is, when you only publish that as an attempt to "prove" that you're not biased, after you've already been accused of bias, it doesn't really prove much of anything at all.

Now, if they could have gone back and pointed out previously published articles from before/during the accusations that show lack of bias, they'd have a better case.

But honestly, regardless of their "it's critical to make sure you have no bias or slant" line, the problem is that everyone has a bias. And plenty of times, those people don't even notice their bias (or the bias of people with similar biases to them).

If anything, their panicked "Look, we can shit on the other side, too!" defense just makes me assume they have bias even more than I otherwise would have. Because now they just look way more guilty.


It does seem like a desperation move on their part. As you said, the bias is going to be there whether they admit it or not. Pretty much every news / info source out there is going to CLAIM to be unbiased (even the likes of CNN and Breitbart). But, since confirmation bias is something that happens in a natural, often undetectable manner, I sometimes wonder if it's even humanly possible to ever have a truly OBJECTIVE information source.

Heck, even our dictionaries have bias (comparing the same exact word between Webster vs. Oxford vs. Caimbridge, etc.)

For "fact-checking" sites like Snopes, it's critical to make sure you have no bias or slant. But lately, Snopes has been getting much more skepticism as a left-leaning source of information, rather than the neutral source they CLAIM to be. So, out-of-the-blue, they recently published an in-depth article about the different types of lies AGAINST Trump.

http://www.snopes.com/2017/07/12/trump-lies/

Granted they're not trying to defend him, per se. But, as a TL;DR - They're just pointing out that the "confirmation bias" cuts both ways (from each side of the political fence; left or right).

Very interesting stuff.

The game has promise, but it's so clunky, unpolished, and tedious. Like..., oh dear LORD "what were they thinking?" level of clunky.

Just for starters, every town in the entire game has a separate "bank" (and the game is stingy as hell with inventory space, so you pretty much have to use it). If you deposit an item in a bank, you have to travel BACK TO THE SAME TOWN WHERE YOU DEPOSITED THE ITEM. To add insult to injury, your mounts constantly run out of stamina so you HAVE to replenish them over and over and over (and since the game forces you to travel on foot from town to town to get your items from the dozens of separate banks, be ready to spend a good portion of your playtime simply moving from Point A to Point B).

If that sounds like fun, then by all means, play Black Desert.

And don't say "Hillary" because America had plenty of chances to get rid of him before Hillary had anything to do with it

Sorry, but it's true. ANYONE is better than Hillary. A-N-Y-O-N-E.

I voted for Trump because of this. I facepalm nearly every day at the shit that Trump does, but given my two options, I regret nothing. Trump is a disgusting vile piece of shit and he still beat Hillary. Says a lot.

Really now what would she have done worse?


I don't think I have enough time to list all of the terrible things she might have done, but she bought into the whole wage-gap myth and she wanted to effectively destroy the gun industry by allowing lawsuits to be filed against gunmakers when their products were used to kill --- something that even Bernie Sanders said was stupid -- so she would have done a lot of things I hated. However, the biggest issue is that she would want to push for war with Russia -- which was a lot of her campaign rhetoric -- and she supported regime change throughout the Middle East and likely would have put boots on the ground in Syria. Donald Trump isn't a dove, but he's not half the hawk Hillary is.


Indeed. At least you knew to take everything with a grain of salt with Trump. Hillary had so many hyper-liberal promises that she was crazy enough to actually do. It's like taking everything bad about Obama, multiplying it by 100, and removing any semblance of consideration for opposing opinions (even Obama was better at hearing out republicans than Hillary would have been).
