| Topic | Getting the vaccine should be MANDATORY by all employers |
| Sad_Face 08/03/21 7:44:50 PM #22 | Flamer_Blue posted... I am against wearing a mask if I have been vaccinated. You can still be infected and transmit Corona chan. There's no getting around masking up even with a 100% vaccinated population. Buy a cool looking (and functional) mask. This is the new normal for the next few years... probably decade if there's a nightmare situation where there's a variant that would have died with an unvaccinated (by killing the sap) but survives and thrives to be spread via a vaccinated dude. --- |

| Sad_Face 08/01/21 12:58:48 AM #27 | DB_Insider posted... But its already been established that no one can make an unbreakable chain in hxh world. Reason why uvo couldnt break the chain is because the chain forced the victim in perpetual state of zetsu giving the illusion of unbreakable chain based on how awesome uvogin feat was while fighting the ten beast. Thanks to kurapika's eye, he was able to override some of the restriction imposed by his oath that specifically target the genei ryodan. Thats doubly true when it comes to one particular chain called judgement chain that effectively rendered any nen-users incapable of using his nen at all as seen as kuroro lucifer primarily. For the purposes against the Phantom Troupe Kurapika made an unbreakable chain against them. I suppose I'm being slightly disingenuous but from the stand point of the author, he can create literally any tool he wants and it'll be accepted within the laws of Nen for the scenario he prepares. Contrast this to Attack on Titan where a titan who has the ability to summon meteors from the sky would be out of place with the lore established of the series. This is why I'm not at all impressed with Nen. --- |

I had an argument with a buddy who vehemently refutes the idea that you can make a character with any power in HxH. You want unbreakable chains? You can make it. You want to become a nuke? Nothing stopping you. You can come up with any idea, just toss in a couple "draw backs" to make it balanced and say that the character has an affinity for it and you're good to go. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/31/21 2:34:46 PM #15 | Solar_Crimson posted... I'm not sure if this is what you're getting at, but this actually did happen. There was an episode that lampooned Tyler Perry (the character himself wasn't Tyler Perry, but it was very obvious who he was making fun of), and he threw a fit at Viacom big enough to get the episode banned (or else Tyler Perry would pull all of his shows from Viacom's networks). I was just thinking of a one liner. That episode had Tyler Perry on blast and portrayed as a closeted gay dude. Given how his current sexuality status is not gay and being gay would damage his reputation with his targeted audience (this came out in the early 2010's and the black community wasn't as accepting), I can imagine he would be up in arms. Heck, the BET episodes got pulled as well. But that Tyler Perry spoof was freaking hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRfDgnapUAw --- |

It's Gossip Girl, the show revolves around materialism, shallowness, narcissism and self-absorption. A celebrity complaining about being the butt of a joke in this series is like complaining about Uncle Ruckus badmouthing black people in The Boondocks or The Boondocks making fun of some celebrity black dude. In other circumstances, yeah it's insulting. But this is a show you'd expect to make these kinds of statements and insults. --- |
| Topic | Landlords don't even provide an actual service to their community |
| Sad_Face 07/31/21 9:24:27 AM #97 | The pandemic has exposed a lot of people of taking out mortgages to buy properties solely to rent out on Airbnb and push the mortgage bills on the tenants. This drives up the housing prices due to demand and it makes it harder for people to buy their own home. I recognize people trying to hustle but housing is a necessity. Between immigration, Airbnb home buyers, foreign investors, and banks buying up all the houses, the future is bleak for those who want a home. --- |

Athletes far and wide are publicly showing their support and respect for her decision, so I'd call that virtue signaling, but I'll concede on this. But watch the Last Dance. Pippin's situation closely mirrors Biles'. There's no way you could get me to believe that her teammates are all okay and accepting of her decision. And it will continue to haunt her. --- |
| Topic | Is Simone Biles a hero/martyr? |
| Sad_Face 07/29/21 3:13:56 PM #68 | CableZL posted... Biles dropping out of the Olympics won't haunt her. It's better that she dropped out instead of continuing to try to compete and further hurting her team's chances at even getting silver. Have you seen The Last Dance on Netflix? The documentary following Michael Jordan and his career with the Chicago Bulls? Mental health is a factor all athletes have to battle and the documentary sheds light on the ironclad mindset you need to have to win. On top of that, this was a team sport, she's not just competing for herself. No athlete is going to respect her action. She screwed up and she knows it. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/29/21 2:50:16 PM #63 | CableZL posted... I'm just of the mind that even though dropping out of Tokyo doesn't add to her legacy, she's still a hero and having to drop out of competition in this year's Olympics doesn't detract from that. If Scottie Pippin still gets flack for the time where he bailed out on his team and stopped playing halfway for one game, Biles dropping out and bailing out on her team at the Olympics will haunt her for the rest of her life. --- |

If you refuse to wear a mask when told that you can still get infected and infect others, even become impaired via infection, then you are indeed anti-science. He still took the initiative to take the vaccine when we have yet to have multiyear studies confirming no negative implications of the vaccine. Selfish for not wearing the mask, yes. But not anti-science. I don't know why you're even flinging that word around when they've made guidance statements influenced by politics as evident by BlueTigerLion's point of them not confirming that vaccinated can still transmit before now and the US government rushing out to fully open up the economy by July 4th.

It says it right there that he had a sex addiction and came up with grand idea to shoot up the places he frequented that solicited prostitution. This means that if the spas were African owned or Latino owned and he frequented them, they would have met the same fate.

I hope you're not actually in charge of them in any capacity. A child's behavior is indicative of problems they have at home. It is impossible to demand the school system solve them. This is a responsibility of the parents and yet teachers get saddled with the task of raising kids on top of trying to teach them. --- |

Some complaints made it clear she only read the game wiki or didn't play the games she was critiquing Since you mentioned this, I remember how she would get caught using reviewer gameplay footage and claiming as it her own gameplay in her videos. And this is representative of the issue of her complaints and others who followed suit over the years. They want developers to cater to them even though they were never customers or the targeted demographic in the first place. Men and women have different tastes, and this is well documented. Making an action adventure game better appeal to women than other titles in its genre is an incredibly difficult task. Slapstick solutions like "make a woman protagonist!" or "make strong female characters" don't work. --- |

If Amazon went down and no competitor took its place, they'd come back to fill the void and it would better serve their communities since now the money is circulating more so in their cities than being sent to other retailers out of state.

| Sad_Face 07/26/21 5:19:58 PM #94 | Vampire_Wreath posted... So how much higher?@Vampire_Wreath I am going to deliberately skip your question and ask you; given how every blockchain that wants to connect to the real world and use smart contracts needs an oracle network, given how Chainlink is one of the primary factors that bootstrapped the DeFi boom and caused Ethereum to take off and break its all time high, and given how Chainlink has 600+ integrations and it grows daily, and again, it is the blockchain of the internet, what kind of value would you assign it? I'll also toss in a number, the internet is currently valued at ~$23 Trillion. It is projected to hit $30 Trillion with IoT sensors and the breakthroughs in innovations in how business is conducted and being able to create digital assets, will certainly drive the value x10. But let's assume the value of the internet is static at $23 Trillion. There are a billion Link tokens in existence and suppose blockchain tech captures the internet's entire value without creating any new wealth. How would that be reflected in the market value of Link? SpookyHov45 posted... Thus, I'd rather play off the hedges & holdings on equity. Because I think it's a more reliable, and more predictable, less volatile. Any of the following adjectives you'd like. This is a myopic way of viewing the industry. Realize that this is our internet boom equivalent and you have a chance to be a part of. I always refer to Jeff Bezos for the kind of mindset you should have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWRbTnE1PEM And recognize that blockchain tech is meant to replace banks. --- |

Also, you're saying that it has proven volume and that somehow guarantees it is reliable. No, I'm saying it has transacted billions of dollars over the course of a decade and it has gone without a hitch the entire time. Therefore it is reliable. And I can point to a bunch of projects in the crypto world that are tried and true and well worth investing into but I wouldn't spend my money on because my mantra of investing only in Link. Just because I don't invest in it doesn't mean I'm incapable of recognizing something of a worthy investment. In fact, here's a start if you want to look around. https://www.smartcontractsummit.io/ We have governments investing and accumulating bitcoin, we have institutions studying blockchain tech to adopt the tech and recreate it in their own likeness, and yet we still have knuckleheads thinking "BTC is a scam! Crypto is a scam!". The crypto world is way bigger than people realize and this is revolutionary technology in the making. --- |

I dont understand anti crypto people, actually I dont understand people whod rather spend their money over investing it A few reasons I would bet on. One, most people like to live in the physical world so they are going to be resistant to a new kind of digital cash whose value isn't straightforward to explain. And this is on top of people already not understanding the concept of investing where you can buy into other people's productivity and profit off of it as opposed to working and hoarding your paycheques, the product of your own productivity, to build your savings. Finally, most people are not risk takers. Most will say they take calculated risks and yadda yadda blaz blaz but that's a load of bologna. Unless they know for sure that it's tried and true and will work, they won't make the attempt. --- |

The BTC is here to stay and you're spouting ignorance downplaying its incredible accomplishment of creating a viable banking system to compete with the current US dominated. *Disclaimer: I own probably <$500 worth of BTC; don't care for it as an investment even though it's obviously a safe pick. --- |

You're basically suggesting that a fat man should find it 'impossible' to learn how to cook healthy meals, comparing them to someone who can't move their arms or legs who legitimately couldn't. When you put it that way, do keep in mind that 2/3rds of the American population are overweight or obese. I recognize the value of personal responsibility, but at some point, you have to acknowledge there are cultural obstacles making things considerably more difficult than they were 20+ years ago and effectively telling someone to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps is poor advice. --- |
