which is why i generally end up asking like 20 questions of different far fetched scenarios to figure out peoples positions

2018-07-16 23:58:04 UTC  

That people don't do this more often in formal debate is one of those signs that people aren't really discussing as much as fighting.

2018-07-16 23:58:09 UTC  

Oh I do that anyway. Working with the abstract is fun

2018-07-16 23:58:09 UTC  

which can be hard when they treat those questions as attempted gotcha moments and go "but thats just too far fetched and breaks x y and z"

2018-07-16 23:58:20 UTC  

Abstract is the only real good way to go for some things.

2018-07-16 23:58:32 UTC  

Since the pragmatics can easily break on tribal boundaries.

2018-07-16 23:58:33 UTC  

its just like "ugh... just answer the question, its not supposed to be a gotcha damnit"

2018-07-16 23:58:43 UTC  

lol that feel when ppl are like "OH U JUS MAKIN SHIT UP TO MAKE U SOUND RIGHT" LIKE NO JUST PROPERLY ARTICULATE YOUR POSITIONS AND WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS MESS JANNET

2018-07-16 23:58:51 UTC  

I think examination of the situation is valid though

2018-07-16 23:59:06 UTC  

Sometimes the parameters of a question make assumptions they shouldnt

2018-07-16 23:59:08 UTC  

poor Janet, always causing problems

2018-07-16 23:59:09 UTC  

Am i the only one that thinks McCain is senile?

2018-07-16 23:59:11 UTC  

But that's the reality of most debate in this world. No one's actually looking to discuss. They're looking to win.

2018-07-16 23:59:18 UTC  

McCain is an old man

2018-07-16 23:59:23 UTC  

and has old man problems

2018-07-16 23:59:49 UTC  

lol i mean he had a brain tumor not long ago lol not to mention haveing been a POW

2018-07-16 23:59:50 UTC  

i blame ugandan knuckles

2018-07-16 23:59:53 UTC  

Who cares, he's almost certainly going to retire soon and isn't that much of a factor in anything anymore.

2018-07-16 23:59:59 UTC  

Because people act like McCain is a true hero

2018-07-17 00:00:06 UTC  

I mean, in some ways he is.

2018-07-17 00:00:11 UTC  

But he went senile since the 2012 election

2018-07-17 00:00:16 UTC  

i love McCain cakes XD

2018-07-17 00:00:37 UTC  

@pratel i mean they are saying how he is a hero now since he is standing against trump

2018-07-17 00:00:45 UTC  

Lol. You can avoid the tax with a VPN

2018-07-17 00:00:51 UTC  

Which i feel like is a cough out

2018-07-17 00:01:10 UTC  

Not a very effective tax by the sound of it.

2018-07-17 00:01:23 UTC  

Let's just hope that they don't give other governments any ideas.

Aside, I felt like the Ugandian Knuckles was a real missed opportunity. Had it lasted a bit longer it could have kickstarted the Ugandian film industry into being something more.

2018-07-17 00:03:57 UTC  

Trudeau is correct. If you torture your enemies they start to wish they'd win.

2018-07-17 00:04:10 UTC  

G.W.Bush agrees

2018-07-17 00:04:16 UTC  

LOL yeah get a ugandan reboot of the marvel movies and disney movies (well i guess marvel movies are disney movies now)

2018-07-17 00:04:34 UTC  

blakc panther would be an all white cast

2018-07-17 00:04:38 UTC  

tl'dr. Everything is Disney now.

2018-07-17 00:05:31 UTC  

But in all seriousness, it only takes one or two major exposures followed by a steady stream of releases to form a media niche.

2018-07-17 00:05:41 UTC  

And niches expand from there.

2018-07-17 00:05:56 UTC  

yeah its hard to get investment for such a speculative market

2018-07-17 00:05:59 UTC  

Take Anime in the 80s/90s versus now.

2018-07-17 00:06:12 UTC  

in terms of starting it... idk maybe an indiegogo would change that
