What’s the deal with bluemason3 being a moderator on Philosophy again?
One might assume Anderlon took a page out of Vladimir Putin's book, dusting off those old, rusted tanks to get back into the action...🤣

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Meh. Nobody is actually moderating the religion discussions. A handful of users (Anthony Perez9, Bryan King3, Carl Hughes) basically just run wild across the site. There isn't any coherent discussion or meaningful exchange of ideas happening. They just troll everything in the 16 section, and honestly, they would get banned from almost any other sub-forum. Yebo, such moderation and Yebo, such communication.

It's hard to take even the swearing seriously when it's written this poorly.☕

Jacob Alvarez said:You want to know what the absolute worst part about being openly gay on this forum is?

Discrimination!

Being gay and being a complete idiot aren't the same thing.

If you get your section shut down on the History board because you keep copy-pasting text without citing your sources, I can assure you—that isn't due to your sexual orientation.

Larry Walker24 said:I actually have an account there, but I requested they just leave it alone because honestly, the sheer stupidity in that place gives me a massive headache. I don't know how you have the stomach to moderate that mess.

Well, I certainly hope the History section manages to surprise you, because at this rate, it isn't looking much different from Alternative.☕

urbanheron4 said:But the whole premise stems from this right here:

A computer game, often referred to as a PC game, is a specific category of video game designed to be played on a personal computer (PC) instead of a dedicated video game console or an arcade cabinet.

I suspect you've jumped to the wrong conclusion by assuming "computer game" refers exclusively to PC titles. You likely arrived at that definition because this particular paragraph is specifically describing PC games, not the broader concept of computer games as a whole.

Take this for instance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console

Video game consoles are a specialized form of a home computer geared towards video game playing...

At the end of the day, consoles are essentially computers; they just feature a different architecture than a standard PC. They still pack a CPU, GPU, and RAM, just like any other personal computer you'd find in an office or a home.

Furthermore, I think this opening paragraph makes a flawed leap by equating computer games entirely with video games (stating it "is a type of video game"). There are purely text-based games out there that lack any visual or animated component whatsoever; technically, those aren't video games, yet they remain valid computer games.

In my view, this entire initiative feels redundant. The term "computer game" is perfectly accurate and shouldn't be contested.

Thanks, man. I was actually planning on posting something very similar to this myself.👍>

If you ask me, I think it’s high time we let Manchi strip down to his boxers on History.
And honestly, I don't just mean him—let’s extend that privilege to anyone else who feels the need to show off.👍

Larry Walker24 said:I know you have a thing for real manly love

Of course I do, my dear brother!🙂
The more unrestricted male affection there is out there, the more women are left for me to pursue!🎉

Gary Patel said:I find myself wondering why we accept terms like "IT Help Service," "Hardware," and "Software" without a second thought, yet we suddenly develop a sense of hesitation when it comes to "Gaming." It seems rather inconsistent. If we are being honest, none of those first three terms feel particularly American in their origin, either; they are just standard industry jargon that we’ve all collectively agreed to use.

Sure, you could call it gaming, if you really wanted to stretch the definition, but let’s be honest—that’s just splitting hairs.

Well, wouldn't you know it. Just seems to happen that way, doesn't it? GamingIt seems like you were about to say something, but the thought trailed off. If there was a specific point you were trying to make or a topic you wanted to dive into, please feel free to continue. I'm listening.🤣

In my view, the issue is entirely non-existent, primarily because all of these titles (and let's be clear, we are talking about serious video games, not some trivial little mobile apps! 😠 🙂 🙂) run on computers.
While one could argue for rebranding them strictly as "computer games," I don't believe there is any need to indulge in such linguistic purism; the term "computer" has been a staple of the American lexicon for decades now.

Larry Walker24 said:Personally, I’d prefer gaming.

For me, I wouldn't have cared about the subject, as long as it was taught in English.
Let's be honest here—trying to navigate this outdated, provincial American dialect feels like a complete waste of time; it's archaic, tedious, and frankly irrelevant in today's globalized world.🤷

Honestly, what kind of nonsense are you all spouting? Little Matilda earned Mjolnir ages ago; she’s got more grit in her pinky finger than any of you pampered elitists combined...🥳

Mark Cruz15 said:I can't say for sure if she's total garbage, but based on her looks alone, she seems incredibly dim-witted.

I caught an interview with this individual recently, and the sheer arrogance regarding her "artistic vision" was palpable. She was aggressive, stubborn, and frankly, exhausting to watch...🤣
A complete idiot—there isn't a better way to put it. I’d call her an indolent jerk, but even that feels too generous.☕

I used to be quite fond of him, but once he married into that crowd of plastic, superficial socialites, I completely wrote him off.☕
He went from being a genuine guy to just another total loser, and back in the early nineties, people actually used to call me Bruce Willis...🤦

Steven Newman50 said:You’ve all had your say and you've answered yourselves, so there is no point in dragging this out in such a toxic tone—even if we are just talking in a chat room. Regarding the matter of deleting posts, my intention was never to deprive anyone of their input. However, quite frankly, I have no desire to spend my time scrubbing through half a chat log just so everyone can feel pampered and protected after they've gone off the rails.

For what purpose are you even deleting things? What exactly makes you think you have the authority to decide what stays and what goes?
First, you left a post where I was clearly agitated because my mother is on her period, which obviously means I can't go and get laid like I usually do. You happened to overlook that detail.
So you finally went ahead and deleted it. Of course, under any other circumstances, you wouldn't have even considered it.

Steven Newman50 said:For the record, I am not playing defense here. Fass also announced that he’s stepping away from Music entirely because of me. Apparently, it’s my fault for not deleting a single post where this "innocent victim"—the one who penned the original thread—decided to lash out at him just to have the last word and stir up trouble here.

What is there to even debate? I only started this thread to demonstrate just how biased and utterly incompetent you really are.
Good grief, the moderation over at Music feels positively haunted. Anyone who spends even a moment navigating those forums starts to feel like they've stepped into a ghost story.
Some sort of dimension.

If you insist on playing by those rules, fine. But don't come crying to me when the next minor infraction results in a penalty so severe it’ll leave you reeling. I have no interest in endless back-and-forth debates; from here on out, the constant bickering won't be tolerated, period. No exceptions.

To me, you’re nothing more than a mere footnote—a tiny, insignificant speck. To someone like you, an anthill would look like a sprawling metropolis built for giants. Just stick to your cardboard boxes and stay in your lane; it’s clear you aren't capable of anything more substantial than that.

I have reached my limit with this endless cycle of aimless venting. It is truly exhausting to deal with people who seem to have absolutely no direction in their own lives, yet feel compelled to colonize every corner of the internet just to broadcast their personal frustrations. It’s become quite clear that for many of you, these digital spaces serve as the only outlet left, simply because you lack any more constructive or meaningful ways to express yourselves.

Based on the way you handle your moderation, it seems you’ve just provided a perfect self-description.

So, that sensitive little kid is deleting my posts again. Of course, they leave all the other comments where everyone is taking shots at me perfectly intact.

Steven Newman50, seriously—how can someone be this pathetic?

Keith Reed62 said:I think you're mistaken here.
The reality is that there are plenty of people who merely believe they possess expertise.
Learning a language isn't inherently easier or more difficult than any other.
There is work available, just not within the local domestic market.
If you look into remote roles, there is an endless supply of opportunities for any language you choose.

When it comes to programming, it all comes down to mindset; if you have it, you'll learn, and if you don't, you won't.
And you should be prepared for the fact that you might be working with Python today, only to find yourself pivoting to Node.js or Go tomorrow.

That is precisely why I put "knows" in quotation marks in my previous post.

On a separate note—if your entire skill set is limited strictly to Python, you are essentially useless in the broader market. That is the point I am making.

granitecrane2 said:Just learn Python; there’s plenty of work available here in the States right now.

Honestly, where exactly is one supposed to find a job with just a bit of Python under their belt? These days, every single person on the street claims to be an expert.

Fantastic. Now go ahead and clutter this place up with mindless GIFs and whatever other nonsense you haven't managed to dump here yet.👎

Dennis Hall41 said:Fitzcarraldo is a damn hell of a hero. Of course, the character wouldn't even deserve such heavy praise if Klaus Kinski didn't have that face—the unmistakable look of a complete, monomaniacal lunatic.😁

People often find themselves scratching their heads, wondering how someone so fundamentally unpleasant could possibly be blessed with such a beautiful daughter. It’s one of those strange, cosmic imbalances that makes you question the fairness of the universe. I remember sitting in a diner back in Chicago a few years ago, watching this particularly abrasive, bitter man berate a waiter over nothing, only to turn around and see his young daughter walk in—absolutely radiant, kind-eyed, and full of light. It felt like a glitch in the matrix. You look at a person who seems to have made every wrong turn possible, and then you see their child, and it just doesn't seem to add up. Nature has a peculiar way of distributing its gifts, sometimes in ways that feel entirely unearned.
The reality of the situation is that aesthetic appeal simply didn't matter; it was completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Forgive me... I have no idea who that is.

I suppose I'll just be waiting for the inevitable "spam" penalty now.

It's Dubravko, though most people know him by his nickname.🥳
