The Gaming Den

So whenever humans interfere with evolution, is that part of the greater plan of the universe? Or are we then fighting against it?

Everything that happens is definitionally according to keikaku.

It's been interesting to read past threads where some of the same people weren't able to grasp basic concepts.

Or possibly, understood, but faked incomprehension just for fun. I can't quite believe it could be intentional, given how ridiculous it makes them look.

What the fuck are you taking about Frank Kaelik and co. schooled you so hard that I'm surprised you're still willing to show your face around these parts. You lost this argument as hard as anyone has ever lost anything you implied that the USA was a freer place when people still had slaves. Everything after that has been you embarrassing yourself.

Technically, I'd say he lost it when he refused to correct himself on the slavery issue. The original quote could have been an embarrassing mis-step, but very pointedly not bending on that point is telling. Combine that with his absurd social Darwinism and he really has told you exactly what he is.

Yeah, DSM put way more work into dealing with Occluded Sun than I did. I just get tired of the same boring shitty idiots, so I only cared until it was clear that he was the same boring shitty idiot.

Hearing it phrased like that is even shittier than being called the and co. Being reminded that your hobbies have opportunity costs is fucking depressing. Especially when the hobby is something stupid, like "yelling at the internet."

I'll go on and say it: DSM, you've done sterling work here, and your responses have been very entertaining and informative to read. Thank you.

Think of it like exercise. You run on a treadmill and you won't get anywhere, but it keeps you in shape. Trying to pound sense into Occluded Sun's head is just the same.

Senpai.

/watched too much anime lately.

You know the rise of A-rank shitposters like Zak, Silva and Occluded Sun has really brought the den together, seriously me and nocker have been on the same side of the argument for how many threads now?

Quick, somebody make a "Fighters should be cool" thread!

don't actually do this.

Wow there are like five new pages in this thread. Are your dicks sore from such furious fapping to Chairman Mao? And if I looked under your bed, how many nude drawings would I find of Karl Marx? At least eight I bet. What are you arguing guys arguign about anyway?

I'm sorry, but this is the last straw!

It's "arguing", not "arguign", dammit!

Some one tried to pick up the argument you failed miserably and he didn't do much better.

actually I think he failed worse than you, you lost the argument by implying the problem in Somalia was too much government, Occluded Sun lost the argument by implying he thought the U.S. was a freer country when people still owned slaves.

Pretty sure that would be the consensus.

Not really. His second rage quit was when several other posters and I kept pressing him to answer one or more questions he was dodging. He'd leave the thread without answering it, then come back a week later with a link of new "evidence" to try and change the topic.


Edit: link

Enjoy the hell you have created for yourselves. I'm out of here.

Yikes, you're absolutely right; I should've reviewed some of his posts instead of working straight from memory. I amend my statement: at least his posts could be parsed and contained relatively intelligible ideas, unlike these more recent ones that give me flashbacks to that one postmoderism course I took.

Edit: Not that the philosophies are at all similar of course. Postmodernism was just the first I had encountered so much wordage and so little substance.

Yeah that is still true.

Occluded Sun lost the argument by implying he thought the U.S. was a freer country when people still owned slaves.

I don't know what is going on with the Occluded Sun thing. I don't think I read anything he wrote. But the record, I don't want to be associated with anything he said because it's entirely possible he's an asshole and lacking sophistication.

Then you probably shouldn't remind us that a thread about what an idiot libertarians are which was focused on this idiot was originally about you.

Like, by showing up and whining that we are still posting in forum thread like total shitbags on a forum. Especially not with combative accusations when you are completely ignorant of what is being talked about.

In related Libertarian news, my facebook featured this choice quote from a Libertarian on my feed:

completely oblivious person wrote:Eliminate the state from any business transactions, and you get efficiency, safety, and mutual benefit.
http://www.wired.com/2014/06/silk-road-study/

So the study says that violence was reduced by silk road, the bit coin based drug network, because they could buy and sell without knowing physical locations.

Now obviously, nothing about that says anything about mutual benefit or efficiency, but whatever.

My point is just the conclusion is literally the dumbest thing to say about any discussion of violence in drug deals, since unlike literally any transaction that the government is involved in, drug sales, the only market the government has absolutely no dealings with, is has violence.

I'm 99% sure that my suppliers of heavily regulated food and advil don't murder each other with guns. But the unregulated things that government has nothing to do with has violence.

And when you use a slightly different manner to transact that business, less violence, but still more than advil. Fuck my life, how do these people post this dumb as shit dumb shit without accidentally stumbling on the irony.

Just tjecking, what actually prevents someone from ripping someone off on Silk Road, just taking your moneyWoWgold and laughing at you?

Pretty sure the answer here is "nothing", and all so "efficiency" and "mutual benefit" take a big hit. At least when dealing with your local dealer, everyone is pointing a gun at each other to make sure nobody pulls any tricks*.

Do libertarians just all believe that nobody would dare violate the inherent value of magical money, their deity, by soiling its reputation with fraud or theft? In which case, the guy grabbing all the bitcoins and running off with them must have done their world view some damage.

*I've never done a drug deal other than the most literal "went to chemist, purchased legal drugs, possibly with a prescription". Zero guns were involved, unless you include the implied government guns. I may have met a dealer once, I'm not sure if the guy loitering outside the arcade was offering to sell me drugs with "Can I help you?" or was implying I should fuck off because I didn't really belong in that arcade. Note that the place did get closed down later due to all the drug deals.
