Apple Talk / Re: Open Bar: Drinks are on the Supreme Court

« Last post by Cain on Today at 04:50:15 am »

If you want entertainment, in 2 days time I am going to be doing charity work.

By which I mean pugging as a tank during the ESO "Undaunted" event. This means hordes of people will be doing group dungeons, usually very badly, in anticipation of extra loot. There will be lots of fake tanks around, and lots of people who do not know what they are doing, hence why this is charity work.

I however, am not a fake tank. I am covered from head to toe in glorious heavy armour. I have taunts, and a shield. I have 42k health and the ability to fight down a dragon with no healer support. I have mastered the art of standing right up in the boss's face and going "lolno". And I will carry the pugs to glorious victory.

Mostly because I need more bloody transmute crystals.

Anyone truly surprised?

Not really but I appreciate the reporting because this kind of shit gets normalized wayyyyy too easily. They will brazenly flash the ok sign, raise the flag back up on 8/8, casually drop the "14 words" on an official white House press release regarding the detention of children. Yeah, this fucker has to go years ago. Should have seen it coming when Jeff Sessions recommend his former coms director.

Because I Facebook is unavailable to me, I have been hunting down stand alone BBSs like the good old days.

And then getting the BANNED FOREBBER page.  Like the old days.

This is the downside of dataism.  At some point the labels become more important than the content.

That's exactly what happening here. The only useful thing it's told me is that they don't know Greek and Latin root words at all and I already knew that.

While I was disgusted at the whole thing, this paragraph pissed me off the most

There is no uniformed security guard at the entrance. The residents, girls 13-17, can call their families as needed, staff say, and there are more therapeutic services — including intensive treatment for victims of trafficking and abuse — throughout the week. They sleep two to a room, and are free to wander in a large, outdoor area, or “shop” in a store filled with donated items. Case workers hustle to reunite them with family in the U.S. quickly, averaging four weeks. And costs to taxpayers are a third of the $775 per day costs at large, emergency shelters where kids sleep 100 to a room.

It's still a prison. For children. Who have committed no crime.

Just because you've applied white collar day prison standards to how it's run do not negate those very basic facts.

No Cain, you don't understand anything at all - you see, as long as they have the "liberty" to "shop" in a "store" (grab donated junk from a pile, so they actually have something to wear), they have all their human rights and potentialities served.

All this newspeak disgusts me so much because its actually a thing now in everyday lives.

Also "staff say".
