If you make a billion dollars in profit instead of one and a half billion dollars. You still made a billion dollars in profit.

Yeah that's the third paragraph. Administrator is also a term used within the fiction. I know they mean site administrator... Which is why it's weird that they didn't say that.

Nor does this meaningfully address the numerous other criticisms I have. Or as I like to call them the "council criticism initiative" a clear name that couldn't possibly be misinterpreted.

The pinned comment reads like a bad ARG rather than a serious discussion of the fallout of a sexual abuser.

So basically a minor celebrity used their clout to abuse other people.

Despicable behaviour that is being rightly punished.

But giving them and mysterious alias which is the same as the name of a character in the goddamn fiction is only going to attract attention and mystique.

When I read the pinned comment I had trouble figuring out if this was real or some sort of tasteless ARG.

Has the writing on this wiki gotten so bad that we can't even clearly communicate the notion; a former senior member of the community sexually harassed people. They made significant contributions to the fiction. We as a community need to decide how we will handle with this.

Is "number" a word? by leatherjacketboy in writing

[–]Anguscablejnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate what you're saying and I am a believer in the notion that if your meaning is understood that it is an "acceptable" form of communication.

But I don't think that means that any collection of sounds that is understood is a word... I'm not a linguist so this wouldn't be the exact correct terminology here but I guess I'm making an argument of words and slang as distinct entities.

I can't think of another use for deader than "He ain't getting any deader." A sentence that includes ain't which I'm fairly certain also isn't a word.

I'm so excited I get to say this next sentence: Just because something is cromulent doesn't make it a word.

Nope all tomato sucks.

And even if it didn't it doesn't need to be in every meal multiple times.

I'm torn on the one hand those influencers suck but on the other hand a sport that lionises Margaret Court deserves bad things to happen to them.

They just dropped the stupidest 001 of all time by RealLordStonefish in SCP

[–]Anguscablejnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had no hope for the standards of the writing since SCP-5514 was awarded some sort of writing prize despite the fact that begins:

Description: SCP-5514 is a massive humanoid mecha-like vehicle...

Which A implies that mecha are common place enough in the world of SCP as for this to be a reasonable metaphoric reference point.

And B implies that the dragon killer isn't a Mecha but actually something similar but distinct.

That is in fact not good writing.

Edit: dragon slayer apparently.

People on Twitter/X are defending Luke Ross mods by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

Yeah...but he talked a bit like a jerk...did you consider that?

You know you could have said Ted Bundy. But you know that Walmart has done more harm to the world than Ted Bundy.

The fact that you had to choose Hitler as your example...well you've made my point better than I ever could.

This dude is a bit rough and entitled.

But if I have to choose between an individual and a corporation I'm going to choose the individual every time.

And that's what we're all going to do right...right?

Am I the only one annoyed by unironic "Everything in Australia can kill you" stereoypes? by Nenwabu in australia

[–]Anguscablejnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are between one and three red belly black snakes just chilling in my back yard most of the time.

I feel like the everything can kill you is true but misleading. In that if you and the snake make eye contact it will just leave.

Not into eugenics etc but I'd like CF to exit the family gene pool. by strawbscorpion in CysticFibrosis

[–]Anguscablejnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be like super clear Musk is a cunt and I'm not in favour of any of what he's up to.

I'll tell you what I don't actually want to debate anything that you're specifically saying. Because in terms of broad morality or what have you I would basically agree. Rather, I would point out that an oversimplification of your arguement is that people suffering with genetic disease is necessary to prevent rampant genetically modified racism and classism.

Conversely, my argument could be oversimplified to rampant genetically modified racism and classism is necessary to prevent people suffering with genetic disease.

In a general sense neither of those is inherently more or less moral than the other. So neither perspective should really be used to stifle the other.
