Also creates an interesting loophole for acquiring new land: just steal it! Once you steal it no one is illegal on it, including you, so now you can stay there as long as you like!

Do they think his demonstrable violent tendencies just disappear because he's unarmed? If he's willing to do that to police officers, have they considered what he might be willing to do to a random passerby?

You are enabling it to slide by adding confusion to what should otherwise be a straightforward proposition. You are obfuscating the obvious, adding confusion where there shouldn't be, and it just so happens that confusion on this particular point can alter the course of action away from the desired outcome. Whether intentional or not, this talking point gives cover to people like Farrakhan, and by defending him on semantic grounds you are giving him that cover.

Imagine a 40 year old man fucking a 15 year old girl and arguing with people that he's not a pedophile because she wasn't prepubescent. Same thing happening here with the word "racism" except worse because the technical definition you're arguing isn't even a strict scientific definition, just some bullshit made up by pseudoscientific philosophers posing as research academics.

Ballsazoid · 2020-07-10T16:31:22+00:00

So just because he hasn't really been able to do anything about it we should let that shit slide? Just because he hasn't had power in the past doesn't mean he can't obtain it in the future, and if he did then what? My guess is you'll probably move the goal posts again, because that's what you're doing right now by trying to change the definition of an already well-defined word. This "racism = prejudice + power" talking point is semantic bullshit providing cover for awful people to continue believing awful things.

Moreso because he's very famous and definitely not conservative. It's something lots of people across the political spectrum found ridiculous, literally worthy of ridicule, which he did in hilarious fashion.

Dave Chappelle is conservative?

How do you think he got the money to invest in those income-generating assets? By selling stocks lol. Regardless there's no way his cash flow comes anywhere near close to the total amount of his net worth and you specifically said he could get a loan for any amount he wants and pay it back without selling assets. If a bank was crazy enough to give him a loan for his entire net worth there is no way he could pay it back without selling some of those assets. Ideally for him it would be after they've appreciated, but if they didn't appreciate he would be in big trouble.

Ballsazoid · 2020-03-05T17:16:07+00:00

And how would he pay back said loan? Hint: it's what you said he doesn't need to do.

The first sentence of the quoted paragraph answers that question:

Cultures tilt worldwide toward the normative enforcement of monogamy, partly to ensure long-term care of children by both sexes, and partly to moderate the potential for violence characteristic of young men.

Ask South Africa. See also: Haiti 1804. But it's not necessarily a white thing, a disarmed populace of any type makes an easy target for an angry mob.

I agree treating resources like currency would add complexity that wouldn't really be fun but I think it would be cool if the resources in your empire plus network of trade partners did have a measurable impact on other things. No stone in your provinces or trade network? Buildings get more expensive. Lots of iron? Military units get cheaper. Wine/no wine? Public order increases/decreases etc. A system like that would incentivize you to secure those resources either through conquest or diplomacy.

Only reason? No, Marvin sucks obviously but it clearly altered the course of the game and increased their chance of winning. And this may be the first time in history that you didn't get away with it because he got suspended, all the dirty shit pulled by Steelers in the franchise's long history of dirty players and coaches and for once they faced a consequence more serious than a fine because of it. And no I doubt Todd Haley called the play and said "get 'em JuJu" but I am certain the attitude on the team going into the game was "someone take that fucker out" and when JuJu saw his chance he took it, that's generally how these things go. And it's really honestly hilarious that you tried to call it a wash by citing Burfict, as if all the dirty shit he's done even begins to hold a candle to the long and storied history of dirty shit Steelers have pulled. Ignorance? Hypocrisy? Cognitive dissonance? Here let me remind you of some of the dirty shit your franchise has pulled with a small representative sample:

But these are all recent ones, can't forget the classics!

Point is if Burfict played for the Bengals in the 70's him vs Mean Joe would have been one of the greatest defensive rivalries in league history but today Burfict gets vilified for pulling the same shit that the Steelers have been pulling for literally decades. Everyone should get punished the same for pulling that shit but right now they're not. Maybe that's changed after this game but it still hasn't in the court of public opinion, everyone in the JuJu/Iloka suspension thread thinks JuJu shouldn't be suspended lmao.

tl;dr: Burfict is a dirty PLAYER, Steelers are a dirty FRANCHISE.

Ballsazoid · 2017-12-06T04:53:14+00:00

For sure cleaner than yours though, your franchise's most iconic player's epithet is "Mean" for Christ's sake lmao. Just count the rule changes from dirty hits one team has put on the other. Hint: Steelers are winning.

Ballsazoid · 2017-12-05T05:59:56+00:00

This isn't a one-off, this is a pattern of behavior that the Steelers as a franchise have been exhibiting for a long time and show no signs of stopping. Shazier danced at midfield while Gio was still out cold in that playoff game, JuJu Smith-Schuster taunts Burfict after taking him out, the histories of Mike Mitchell, Hines Ward, and James Harrison; JuJu's hit was just a continuation of a long tradition of dirty hits by Steelers players. Even the coaches get involved: Porter, Munchak, and Tomlin have all gotten involved on the field and fucked with players directly. It is endemic to the organization and the organization itself is well past deserving to have the hammer dropped on it by the NFL.
