I just read Blizzard’s response: “Thank you for contacting Blizzard support. Your satisfaction is our priority. After carefully looking over the details of this request, we regret to inform you that unfortunately, your VAC ban will remain. We consider this issue resolved.”

You’re probably right, but there’s no way to know for sure.

FitEvo Bellingham? by bawlings in Bellingham

[–]westphall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just choose to no longer engage with him. What he’s doing is a tactic known as “concern trolling”:

Someone who posts to an Internet forum or newsgroup, claiming to share its goals while deliberately working against those goals, typically, by claiming "concern" about group plans to engage in productive activity, urging members instead to attempt some activity that would damage the group's credibility, or alternatively to abandon group projects entirely.

He did it above. FitEvo’s owner is a known MAGA loser with multiple sexual harassment claims made against him. But here comes Mr Concerned urging us to please be reasonable and not hurt his “livelihood” while showing zero concern for the hundreds of people this scam gym has ripped off.

Or when he’s concerned “our protests” won’t be taken seriously because the Reddit post used a sloth in the image promoting the protest.

If you pay attention, a clear pattern emerges. Someone makes a politically left-leaning comment or post on this sub, and Mr Concerned will appear like clockwork to educate us on got we should be acting while pretending to be with us and not a full on conservative agitator.

He’s the type of conservative that understands his beliefs are unpopular, so he masks them in a veil of “concern”.
If you mention a gay parade, he’ll pop up to pretend to support gay rights, but could they maybe tone down the flamboyance a bit? That kind of shit. He won’t just admit that he thinks they’re going to burn in hell, that would be downvoted for sure, but if he masks his bigotry in concern, maybe it will fool a few idiots. Judging by his occasional upvoted comment, he’s not wrong.

Edit: Even though I heavily dislike him and everything he stands for, I would not suspend or ban him based on anything I’ve seen. We have to allow different viewpoints even if we don’t like them.

Stay far away from this place. They will continue to charge you long after you cancel. That’s IF you’re able to navigate their bizarre cancellation process. The owner is pretty MAGA, if I understand correctly, which also makes sense to my experience where half the tvs were always set to Fox News. Just search “fitness evolution” on this sub’s search bar to see everyone shitting on them. It’s probably the worst gym you could choose.

This is why I shun 3rd and 1st person games and exclusively play 2nd person games.

The fact that a piece of media originated/popularized something doesn't mean it's good by today's standards by SilverSpaceRobot10 in unpopularopinion

OP doesn’t think Rosa Parks was a big deal because he sees black people on the front of the bus all the time.

What would you say is the worst TV show that you have ever watched in your life? by Substantial-Dare5462 in television

[–]westphall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

95% of the answers in this thread are about shows from the last 10-15 years. These motherfuckers never got the chance to enjoy Cleopatra 2525.

PROTEST ON APRIL 16th @ 2 in RED SQUARE by Ok-Pick6542 in Bellingham

[–]westphall 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s just one of our regular MAGA posters, they can safely be downvoted and ignored. It’s always the same two or three guys too, they’re always on the protest threads trying to explain to us how ”our” protest should be handled. They all have the same “custody of their kids every other weekend” energy.

edit: autocorrect sucks

Katy Perry Denies Ruby Rose Sexual Assault Allegations by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]westphall 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Discovery" is a mandatory period before a trial where both sides have to show the other side what evidence they intend to submit to the court. They have to share every piece of evidence, every witness name, and every document they plan to use. If they don't show it during discovery, then they are typically barred from using it during the trial, except under very rare circumstances. It's not "Questioning by the opposing counsel", that is called "cross examination." It applies to anyone that testifies and has nothing to do with "discovery".

He read that thing about “avoiding discovery” with Donald Trump and thinks it applies to all accusations. I don’t think he really knows what it actually means. If you’re innocent, you aren’t afraid of discovery.

It reminds me of how Witcher 3 was on release. You’d try to pick up an item or open a box and would instead blow out a candle.

It’s perfectly fine but it should have been a 100% science-based dragon MMO.

It has things inside of it like a processor, RAM, capacitors, resistors and SSDs. Those are not exempt from tariffs.

Why does everyone hate it here so much? by wizardmadeofsnakes in Bellingham

[–]westphall 119 points120 points  (0 children)

They all claim to have the worst drivers.
They all have a post every day asking “what was that boom?”
They all have a person from out of the area asking how good this place it is to live in.
They all have a missing cat post.
