  • Owner vote off Proposal

    I've had a lot of disagreements with Ryan but there comes a point where it becomes borderline bullying… Y'all gotta give him some slack, being the owner of a server that's majority demographic is 10-15-year-olds is tough. Ryan is good enough to pay for this server out of his own pocket with no monetary gain the least he deserves is a community that respects him and doesn't critique him simply for the sake of it at any chance they get.

    I believe Ryan is the last owner of TotalFreedom. Even if Ryan were to hand over the server to another owner, if not done right and if done by force the transition would kill TotalFreedom. The community isn't as strong as it was 4 years ago, even 2 years ago and I believe that the numerous owner changes within that period is partly to blame.

    ↩  jwmphall I believe theyre referring to certain category 0 offenses, especially 0a. Certain players are banned for loose interpretations of 0a like Flobbier while a discord mod streams breaking bad on discord. 0a is an excuse for you to ban any player you want at almost any time because at some point most players have done something you could describe as illegal if you do enough mental gymnastics.

    And it's ironic that I'm defending this considering this was what got me banned. When the server was owned just by one dude, somebody infringing copyright or being underage was minuscule -- nobody cared. But when you have a company involved, you jeopardize the company if anybody on here is actively breaking the law. I'm not going to sit here and lie and tell you I would put my company at risk by letting little 12-year-old ixNoah roam the discord just because people were upset TotalFreedom is not complete anarchy.

    ↩  jwmphall I recall you stating “i can frankly ban whoever i want.”

    Can he not? This expectation that TF should be a complete democracy stemmed from the fact that Seth had issues with authority and gave into the community constantly. Not exactly his fault, he's a kid and the server was as much pricks then as they are now. Looking back on mark, he was seen as the most stable owner of TF and the most admired, and he ruled by decree. Probably the best owner we've ever had.

    Ryan's a good dude, he's human too and some of you gotta stop being so harsh. I know if it was any of you instead of Ryan you wouldn't do any better at all

  • russia invade Ukraine

    "I will be monitoring the situation from the White House this evening and will continue to get regular updates from my national security team. Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security. We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine."

    That's Joe Bidens' statement (citing) so tomorrow morning I suppose we'll have more of an indication as to whether this is going to go further, however, given the situation where bombings have now been heard in Ukraine, it's more than likely that this is going to result in a war. Maybe too soon to call it World War 3, but if the US and their allies get involved, we may see Russian allies such as Belarus, Armenia, India, and Kazakhstan, as well as perhaps China as they "do have an informal agreement to coordinate diplomatic and economic moves, and build up an alliance against the United States."

  • Opinion On Gay Rights?

    ↩  burger imagine if I started telling people that I simply tolerate but I don’t respect ginger people because it’s not how I was raised… imagine how silly that would be?

    I’m not saying the other side are without fault, there are some who push their sexuality on others and that’s wrong, but what I’m trying to say is there should be no need for the level of segregation which has been socially recognised and accepted. my analogy would be seen as imbecilic if it was shared as a genuine opinion, but both of them correlate in the sense that they’re both uncontrollable and dictated at birth. there should be no need to simply tolerate them, the lgbtq community should be seen as indifferent to anybody else, and that’s my argument here in the first place

  • Opinion On Gay Rights?

    ↩  Ivan i would never be gay; just not the way i was raised.

    unless you're talking about suppressing your feelings and living an otherwise depressing life in terms of intimacy, there's no way that you can decide whether you want to be gay or not, it's scientifically proven that your sexuality is a biological factor decided before birth i love u ivan but this a miss

    ! "Finally, there is some evidence that the brains of homosexuals may be different from those of heterosexual men and women. The differences have been found in the hypothalamus, which controls eating, drinking, temperature regulation and sexual behavior. Studies done in the Netherlands and in Southern California have found such differences in several areas within the hypothalamus. One region, the midsagittal area of the anterior commissure, is larger in females than in males, but also appears to be larger in homosexual males. Another area, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which controls circadian rhythm, is larger in heterosexual males and females than it is in homosexuals."

    look the way I see it is if you can't bring yourself to respect people with differing (uncontrollable) characteristics I think it just shows a lot more about you than it does about anyone else.. it shouldn't affect you, so don't let it.
