i was about to tag fionn then i realized he's banned

↩ RedEastWood You just posted the exact screenshot fionn was suspended for sharing in private, on a public forum...
EDIT: Red's post above originally included the screenshot that Ryan suspended fionn for sharing in a private DM.

What a fucking joke of a punishment explanation. Indef ban and suspended over a screenshot sent to one person to provide context in an argument. The fact that Red immediately went to snitch on him is very concerning, as this is a repeated pattern (using "evidence" that is taken way out of context to clear the field).

Resigning because red got exec??? Damn you fionn how could you
Vouch -
Congrats I hope you continue the advertisement person cycle i really want that to happen

The american healthcare system is also terrible, because any attempt to fix it is called communism by the right and blocked by lobbyists. It's no coincidence that countries with functional democracies have better standards of living for the 99%.

The absolute lack of competent rollout is absurd. Complete lack of communication - if something isn't ready, don't release it. And don't get pissy when people get confused because you haven't been clear on details. And using "details will be released soon" as a blanket excuse is equally laughable.

No but it's been a while since people have bitched about ProBoards so I think TF is broken

Object even a small association with being a super admin is an embarrassing mistake fuck super admins
(btw reminder that if the ranks weren't changed lyicx would still be a super admin) -
I would like to apologize for thinking you were being inactive lately. I understand you just started a new job that's practically eating at your time like crazy, with school along with it, and that you're going to try to at least incorporate a few hours of game time per week. I know that you didn't die, and are still here! 6969 Darth!

they don't have internal organs either
-
Object. Although we're supposed to judge people on how they're doing now, my last memory of you was that you were extremely immature, and originally became admin because you were personal friends with Z. This may no longer be the case but you need to be active for a while to prove that.

shovels are spoons and spoons are shovels, one cannot exist without the other. FUCK RAID

Vouch if you admit that windows 11 is more than a cosmetic sidegrade and is actually a masterpiece, and that Lyicx was right all along

↩ enchy In the U.S, systemic racism affects a large number of minorities, particularly African-Americans. They are more likely to be convicted for drug offenses (despite repeated studies showing that drug use rates are consistent between races), denied housing and employment, targeted by law enforcement, and have fewer resources in their schools (public schools are funded in part by taxes, poor communities pay less in taxes because they make less, the schools, in turn, are given less funding resulting in a lower quality education, perpetuating the cycle of poverty through lack of resources). And this is mainly due to the ghettoization of inner cities that resulted from the "white flight" to the suburbs during and after the Civil Rights Movement.
With all this in mind, denying that systemic racism is a component of U.S. society presents flawed logic. Those who deny it seem to believe that the U.S. is a complete meritocracy, and anyone with a poor quality of life is entirely responsible for it (e.g, people who complain about lazy people living off government benefits and believe they are the cause of fewer people working, instead of considering that the problem lies mostly with the employers for refusing to provide adequate wages). And since segregation is illegal, then all minorities must be on the same footing as Caucasians, making them as responsible for their destiny as anyone.
While this logic completely ignores historical context, its underlying point, whether intentional or not, is that minorities struggle to make it by in life because they are "not working hard enough" or are "not willing to improve their situation". This ignores the deeper circumstances entrenched in society that make life more difficult for minorities and instead creates the implication that they are just lazy and more willing to complain about their lives than actually improve them. Also for the record, I am a minority but am quite well off. I didn't have to experience what I've described to know it exists. Keep in mind that I'm not saying all people are racist, I'm saying that lingering effects of intentional racism from the Civil Rights Movement era still has an impact on current minorities even though the laws have made direct targeting of people based on race illegal.
