@Fash-E So, the results here say that he's more Greek than Turkish, and he's upset at that because he hates... Greeks, or Greece?

I guess being a world-conquering culture that takes over foreign peoples gets tricky when you start looking at genetic lineages.

@Ghislaine From a very, very minimal amount of discussion, my understanding is that to get the dental benefits of fluoride, you can just do a topical treatment or a rinse once every couple of weeks.

Putting it in the drinking water is absurd.

@p The puritans are always the ones that are most likely to be guilty of whatever moral hazards they spend the most oxygen on. This is an old pattern, and applies in a general sense, too.

@Hoss @c Does this seem like a weird sort of conflict to anyone else?

I mean everything about how we got here and what's happening with it so far.

@WandererUber I believe you.

Excessive racial nepotism is one of the things that makes someone a bad actor in my view.

Especially the xenophilia caused by an entrenched power structure bringing in a foreign client population to serve over the founding population, which at least theoretically could represent a threat to the power of the rulers.

It's so tiresome to see the problems that are so obvious, but also know that too many people can't (or won't) understand it.

@WandererUber The question of how to deal with willful bad actors in what should be a high trust system is a hard one to deal with.

How would people distinguish between legitimate business decisions to limit resource use from willful deprivation and unnecessarily high costs that do not make for a better service?

I think that a lot of the assumptions a free market capitalist system makes are starting to break down with the ossification of a power structure.

@Goalkeeper Where does he stream these days? Or does he still make videos in the ten to thirty minute range?

@Shadowman311 Really? I though they had clear evidence of obvious wrongdoing. Why would they risk the integrity of their case by manipulating things like this?

@PNS I've heard it helps the brain in some ways and hurts it in other ways. Do you suppose that's mostly a factor when misused, or can it be basically modeled like alcohol, in that it's perfectly fine to use regularly in moderation as a recreational intoxicant?

Or maybe as a creativity aid for journaling or writing.

@PNS @Valvoline Who's up for a bit of music to accompany the discussion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl3qBkchDag

@lain It's like watching illiterate people describe their feelings on "books" and reading.

@PNS @rredball "The officers' attempts to de-escalate"?! Where? They were 100% on the aggressor side and are belligerent and hostile entities on a power trip.

@lain @arcana Can you get any more precise?

@Goalkeeper Is Ranma anything other than troonbait? Seriously. My understanding is that ranma specifically is credited a whole lot with at least the pre 2014 waves of Trans-ness stuff happening.

@fluffy @p 4chan's influence across the whole of the internet was never about raw numbers.

@Hyperhidrosis Infidelity is a bad thing that destroys families. Trying to enslave a man under false pretenses is also a bad thing.
