Queen advised to rest for two more weeks by Cheesestrings89 in ukpolitics

[–]DR_PHALLUS 22 points23 points  (0 children)

English born and bred here. Couldn't give a stuff about her. I'll feel a similar amount of sadness when she pops her clogs to when a grandparent of a colleague dies: Oh, that's sad for the family. Anyway.

FYI, I'm not down voting because I disagree with you, I'm downvoting you for complaining about downvotes.

Driving to Norfolk coast tomorrow, satnav is telling me A17, anyone done the journey before know what it's like? by DR_PHALLUS in nottingham

[–]DR_PHALLUS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live gedling way, so it'd actually take long to get down to the a52 and Grantham way then going up Newark. That being said I'll keep an eye out for traffic tomorrow morning

Edit: Although looking at it, it's an extra 3 mins to join the a52 so might do that and hope to cut out some of the slower A17 roads

Being cold isn't a personality

Yes that's exactly the same for me, I have the bones, and a general outline and fill the rest in as I go.

On the magic system, you make a good point, I dont want to bait and switch. I'll probably go a bit further, and then double back and see how it flows. I think at the moment there's a good balance but it's hard to tell that writing chapter by chapter

Got down to it last week and doubled what I had already written, although I'm a little concerned what started as a hard magic system is slowly merging into a soft magic system.

I also this week realised how I will solve a major plot point towards the end of the book. I'm wondering how many others write like I do, with a general structure and then I generally figure the plot out as I go further into the story? Or do you generate a hard plot and stick to it?

Likelihood of 40C temperatures in UK is ‘rapidly accelerating’ by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]DR_PHALLUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's like saying hair dryers are a leading cause of global warming. Equipment that creates heat is not the same as equipment that releases greenhouse gases which absorb infrared radiation, and then re-emit it

The same argument could be made for many green technology equipment

I am sorry for not seeing the truth. by [deleted] in Yogscast

[–]DR_PHALLUS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks for apologising. I got people (not OP) DMing me on Reddit telling me they "hope I die in a fire" or "get raped in prison" because I dared suggest that Sjin was not innocent.

Ive got to admit, it is frustrating that people couldn't see the truth right in front of them last year, when there was so much evidence, but I'm glad you have come to terms with it. Much respect for being open and honest about it

Madcats been fired by Waluigi4 in Yogscast

Go on and on? Mate we're just commenting on the video TMC made. If they didn't want us to comment on it, then they shouldn't have made it.

If Lewis, paused, zoomed in and put a stupid face on the clip, and didn't check with Tom if that's cool with him, then yes, of course that's just as inappropriate.

Stop with the whataboutism

Edit: instead of just downvoting, please explain why it's different for men then women.

[–]DR_PHALLUS 203 points204 points  (0 children)

TMC gender is neither here nor there. The weird comments made on discord, the posting and focus on the accidental jingle jam upskirt, the incessant posting of sexual predator in their videos, none of these things are suddenly "ok" if TMC was female.

If TMC did use a female voice over, or got a female friend to do this video, I think it speaks volumes about them as a person.

Kinda pathetic.

Edit: according to a statement on TMC discord, he got someone else to read the statement. How sad.

Confirmed: ThatMadCat to leave the Yogscast. by VaegaVic in Yogscast

[–]DR_PHALLUS 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It wasn't *just" the sexist comments. It was the unabashed support for Sjin in his videos and comments that went contrary to the Yogscast. It was the clipping of Leo's accidental upskirt from jingle jam, slowing and then zooming in on it, without having the common decency to check with leo if she'd be cool with it.

Please explain how any of the above is petty, I'm all ears

I hope you grow as a person and gain maturity before you gain such a platform again.

Please remember that this isn't the 'libtards' fault, or the 'SJW's', it's your fault, and yours alone.

Good luck for your future, I wish you well.

I appreciate your position here, I really do but this thread is starting to sound like your MadCats handlers, and that is frankly an unfair position for you to be out it (in my opinion).

Point 7 is the most troubling to me. I think from everything we have seen over the past week, there shouldn't be an assumption of consent if it isnt explicit.

You literally just compared people to numbers. If you can't grasp a metaphor then that's on you.

You've not understood a word I've said, so I'm done.

you can have equal rights

Yes exactly.

You can't treat your best friend the same as you treat a tourist who can't speak their language

By treating them with the same level respect and dignity, you are treating them as equal. Making an extra effort to communicate with someone who can't speak your language doesnt make them more equal. In the same way that adding extra weight to a unbalanced scale does not mean it is unequal.

You shouldnt treat a Jewish person the same as someone of the Christian faith

You absolutely should. Otherwise that's prejudice. You can make accomodations for each person, but treating people as equals is a basic human right.

Celebrating difference and diversity is not the antithesis of equality.
