2019-09-14 01:18:38 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

@Edelgard von Hresvelg, are you ever _not_ in a voicechat? :S

2019-09-14 01:32:17 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Eirshy You can crop Eric July's reply out if you really want to, you know. Most phones have the ability to crop images rather easily. :P

2019-09-14 01:34:13 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Oh. I thought you were saying "This is my sentiment, not including Eric July's reply." My bad.

2019-09-14 01:37:45 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

How is taking someone's most unnecessarily dangerous guns a death threat? It's not like they're taking your average pistols/handguns and then throwing you into a warzone. And trust me, the only people who have an AR-15 on them during a shooting are the ones who know there's going to be a shooting.

2019-09-14 01:38:15 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

~~I'm talking about the school shooters.~~

2019-09-14 01:39:51 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

What's "awoobait?"

2019-09-14 01:40:16 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And what's a "newfag," for that matter?

2019-09-14 01:42:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Okay, so a shooter near the house of a gun enthusiast could be stopped, but that's maybe 1 shooting for every 10 caused by how many AR-15s are circling aboutm

2019-09-14 01:44:31 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Make no mistake, the proper authorities, such as SWAT teams and the like, SHOULD have sufficient weaponry to stop shooters like that guy did, and I am far more in favor of regulations such as universal background checks than I am of regulations such as "universally ban so-and-so gun."

2019-09-14 01:47:47 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I'm not a gun expert, but I do think that the most lethal guns should be properly regulated, at least. The way things are, private sellers can legally sell you guns without requiring a background check.

2019-09-14 01:49:00 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

[X] Doubt @Machinimal

2019-09-14 01:49:56 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

China is a well-known, brutal authoritarian regime. THAT'S why things went down as they did in Hong Kong.

2019-09-14 01:51:05 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

By the time it is possible for the US government to do that, there is no way - ugh I can't keep up with the pace of this chat.

2019-09-14 02:16:28 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah, I'm not sure about the AR-15 _in particular,_ but the weapons and ammunition _most effective_ at taking life should _at least_ have _some_ regulation, is my point. I never said I necessarily agreed with Beto's policy to the letter, or even at all, just that it's not a good idea to let any wackadoodle legitimately get weapons that are _solely_ designed for taking human lives en masse. Think of it this way: it is illegal for anyone to drive a car without a license 'cuz it's dangerous if they don't know what they're doing. Well, if you want a dangerous weapon capable of killing hundreds of innocent people in mere minutes, let's make sure you have the sufficient knowledge and understanding to use it safely, as well as the lack of any desire to _deliberately_ start killing people. And if there are so many rocket launchers out there that they're cheaper than oreos for criminals, maybe trying to reduce their availability in order to at least make them more expensive on the black market isn't the worst idea in the world and is at least as worth considering at the debate table as
Also, been typing very slowly for all this time because I am multitasking. If you've been hyping this up, sorry, but you're gonna be disappointed. My point essentially boils down to this:
Your right to arms is not so absolute that debate over the most excessive weapons designed solely for war and how accessible they should be to the general public is equivalent to authoritarianism. I mean, for gods' sake, gay people's right to not be sent against their will to straight camp or trans people's right to exist are defended with less passion than any ol' wackadoodle's right to bullets that explode inside the people they hit. I _get_ that there is a debate to be had here, but my lord, people who argue in favor of restrictions you disagree with are _not_ authoritarians; that's like calling the most moderate conservative a Nazi.

2019-09-14 02:18:12 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Again, I don't give a fuck about the AR-15 in particular. Honestly, I agree that it's gotten a bad rap.

2019-09-14 02:19:04 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

But then again, the exploding bullets that the shooter with the AR-15 used probably aren't regulated enough themselves.

2019-09-14 02:19:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Jack of Trades Of course, but I never said you couldn't.

2019-09-14 02:20:11 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Marushia Dark Because there are millions of people in the US and one psycho can kill hundreds of people.

2019-09-14 02:21:01 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

The point of most legislation I support is to weed out the likely shooters _when they buy the guns._

2019-09-14 02:23:21 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Jack of Trades No, I'm arguing the _right_ to present that argument without being compared to Stalin. People are equating me with the most strawmanned incarnations of the argument I am defending, and then either calling me an idiot, or saying I support authoritarians (latter was earlier on.) Also, this chat is moving rather fast and it's difficult to keep up.

2019-09-14 02:24:07 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Marushia Dark Sounds like a novel idea. Let's push push for that.

2019-09-14 02:24:25 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Jack of Trades Yeah, but a lot'd being said and I'm a slow typer.

2019-09-14 02:24:32 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And a perfectionist.

2019-09-14 02:24:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

When it comes to grammar and spelling, that is.

2019-09-14 02:49:44 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Oh FFS! Did Discord seriously just delete that ENTIRE message I just typed 'cuz it was _too long?!_ I had finally caught my breath and effectively articulated my point!

2019-09-14 02:50:55 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Jack of Trades You saw the "Hylia is typing" at the bottom of the chat this past 20 minutes.

2019-09-14 02:51:06 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And you know it. >:c

2019-09-14 02:55:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I went back, looked at my original message, which was an off-the-cuff remark, for the record, and then explained the sentiment behind it and more or less my position on the subjects at hand, the errors I made, such as initially treating the term "AR-15" as synonymous with "the crazy dangerous weapons like those exploding bullet thingies that all the school shooters inexplicably seem to be able to access with little issue," and then I elaborated on what I meant by "I can't keep up with the pace of this chat."

2019-09-14 02:57:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I meant "I have the worst touchscreen ever seen on this stupid tiny phone and the depth of the subject makes what would be a tepid pace much more difficult to keep up with if you want to say anything of value."

2019-09-14 03:22:26 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Marushia Dark Wait - does it still say I'm typing? I stopped after my last message here.

2019-09-14 03:22:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Goodwood of Dankโ„ข No, because I agree.

2019-09-14 03:23:37 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

@Edelgard von Hresvelg I knew it! You leave yourself in the voicechat with your mic muted when you are doing other things!

2019-09-14 03:25:07 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Same thing. I win guessing.

2019-09-14 03:30:19 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

*Shivers in fear* I don't know what Channel 4 is, but I am nonetheless afraid.

Muten, I was rooting for you when you were arguing with Tyche, but now you're just being a fucking dick.

2019-09-14 05:48:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

'Cept Tyche was the first one to throw stones.

2019-09-14 05:48:36 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Engineered Eldritch Catgirl just ex0ressed her opinion.

2019-09-14 05:48:52 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

*expressed

2019-09-14 05:49:40 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Muten That doesn't justify being a dick. Leave the conversation if you're done trying to contribute anything of value.

2019-09-14 05:50:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Goddess Tyche Ya my thoughts exactly tbh

2019-09-14 06:00:28 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Engineered Eldritch Catgirl Do you have a problem with trans people, Catgirl?

2019-09-14 06:00:56 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

@Gservator That is correct.

....

2019-09-14 06:04:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Muten, trans ppl being lunatics is not the only alternative line of thought to feminine essence theory.

2019-09-14 06:06:18 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Muten Nope. Feminine essence theory is just a term for the notion that people have "a female soul" or whatever.

2019-09-14 06:06:42 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

It is, of course, bullshit.

2019-09-14 06:07:43 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

But dismissing trans people as mentally ill is not the only alternative line of thought to feminine essence theory.

2019-09-14 06:08:49 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Muten Just go watch ContraPoints.

@Gservator "Only respect people's rights and freedoms if you respect them." -So-called defenders of freedom.

2019-09-14 06:14:43 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Gservator You don't respect her right to live as herself. You're calling her he as a form of disrespect, acting as though trans women should have to earn the right to be treated with the level of decency cis women get by default. Do you call black people "niggers" if you don't like them?

2019-09-14 06:15:19 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

You're still being oppressive.

2019-09-14 06:18:05 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I have said very little to argue my point, but I can already see that there is no sense in trying to convince you guys of anything. I will not elaborate further.

2019-09-14 06:18:35 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And you guys accuse the left of being cancerous.

2019-09-14 06:18:39 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And cultish.

2019-09-14 06:19:07 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@แด แด€แด‡ส€สษดษด Yeah, 'cuz I didn't get started. You all are so toxic that I don't see the point.

2019-09-14 06:20:09 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

You absolutely deserve the right to say that, but that doesn't make it a good thing to say. @Gservator

2019-09-14 06:20:21 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Farewell, I'm fucking off.

2019-09-14 09:13:24 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Sham00e That might just be the most sickening thing I have heard in weeks.

2019-09-14 09:14:16 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

You just topped your previous insanity.

2019-09-14 09:14:39 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I think you are a homophobic lunatic.

2019-09-14 09:15:01 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And you should be quarantined far more than any gay guy.

2019-09-14 09:15:35 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

You are truly beyond hope.

2019-09-14 09:16:25 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Both of you.

2019-09-14 09:17:04 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yep, but @wotmaniac seems like he might be a wacko, too.

2019-09-14 09:17:51 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I'm talking to you homophobes/whatever-you-mean-by-gypsie-phobes.

2019-09-14 09:18:22 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And as for why... I felt the need to call you guys out.

2019-09-14 09:20:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Sham00e By gay, I think you mean effeminate, and even then, creating an atmosphere where those who aren't masculine enough are shunned is still scummy, albeit a lot less scummy than persecuting based on birthright.

2019-09-14 09:23:35 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Anyway, I'm out; it's far too late to get into any long-winded conversations here. I say conversations, but when talking to people as crazy as you all, who can say such ridiculous things without an ounce of irony, a more apt description would be hell. Goodnight.

2019-09-14 09:24:14 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

@Sham00e Again, that's not the sexuality, it's being effeminate and overdramatic. Anyway, goodnight.

2019-09-14 10:43:56 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Oh... my... god.

2019-09-14 10:44:04 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I just realized...

If Warren wins, it means the Simpsons predicted _everything._

. . . If the Simpsons are prophetic, then Warren will win. :D

2019-09-14 10:46:02 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Wait, but if everything comes true, it'll also mean Trump bankrupts the nation.

Who pinged me?

Who pinged me?

I find this conversation very interesting. I do like this server, even if I am rather leftist.

I love how much I learn.

@ubermensch Skull stuff.

Civilization stuff.

@Tubby the Skelly Bones Me too. It's wrapped in flesh and connected to my neck, though. C:

I gtg, but I like the conversations I read through while I was here looking for the ping.

Have an excellent day, guys. c:

What is a slanneshy?

2019-10-01 01:51:02 UTC [Athens #ca_politics]  

Is it bad that I, a Canadian citizen, obsess over US politics, but couldn't give less of a fuck about the politics of my own nation where I actually have a vote I can use?

2019-10-01 01:51:19 UTC [Athens #ca_politics]  

The answer is yes; yes, it is.

2019-10-01 01:53:41 UTC [Athens #ca_politics]  

I just don't want to double my despair. Politics are miserable, and Canada's doing well enough, I guess. Still, I really should pay a little more attention; I'm kind of a hypocrite if I don't use my vote.

2019-10-01 01:59:03 UTC [Athens #us_politics]  

Y'know socialism and capitalism are not mutually exclusive, right? Firefighters, police departments, social security, et cetera... these are all socialist elements of our society. They are also essential to society. What the vast majority of socialists want is really not as anathema to capitalistic society as you seem to think.

2019-10-01 02:02:15 UTC [Athens #us_politics]  

I don't think many people want that at all. No doubt there are some extremists, of course, but even Bernie Sanders is a _Democratic_ Socialist. It's pretty much just "Let's not charge 90 000 dollars per cancer treatment."

2019-10-01 02:03:16 UTC [Athens #us_politics]  

Sorry I'm typing so slowly; this touchscreen really sucks.

2019-10-01 02:04:30 UTC [Athens #us_politics]  

I'm more of a Warren supporter, but I definitely wouldn't categorize Bernie Sanders as a skunk wearing perfume.
