NSAiswatchingus Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yo Yo! Let's try this again. I want to open this thread as a safe space to discuss more controversial and current events with my fellow Don't Starve fans. The world is a crazy place and talking things out with people online has always helped me better my positions on different issues and navigate through life with a little less confusion. Everything from Covid-19 to Religion and anything in between. Things will get heated and people will be offended, but this thread is for those that can discuss tough ideas with people they disagree with and keep things cordial. No insults, no personal attacks, and no reporting the thread to be shut down because you don't like what a user had to say. If you don't like it then move on and leave others in peace to talk freely. Also, no jokes about violence or bringing harm to another individual or group even in meme form. Let's keep it CIVIL. So, US elections are highly contested. I've watched 12+ hours of coverage at this point between different sources. Something fishy definitely happened in the middle of the night in some states, and I've never heard of ballot counters just being told stop counting and come back tomorrow or even the day after. No matter what side you may be on it's all highly suspect and I hope both candidates will push for recounts or take it to court so there's no question who won. The most important thing we could lose this election is the last shred of credibility our system has. Still no riots so I'm glad about that, but we'll see what next week brings when hopefully a final verdict is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSAiswatchingus Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Still no winner declared. Even more fishyness coming out every day. I calling it now that Biden will be declared the winner by the media and big tech. Trump will contest and actually be declared the winner in the courts. That's when we'll see people lose their minds in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSAiswatchingus Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 I don't think it needs a whole new thread, but I finally hit 1000 posts and can give myself a title. That's about as lame as giving yourself a nickname. I'd rather turn it over to the other forumites and have a title bestowed upon me. Whoever's suggestion for title has the most reactions at the end of the week will be what I set the title to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetNerfedOn Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 currently a police officer who infamously violated quarantine protocols by holding a birthday party has not only not been persecuted, but has also become the chief of police for the entire country.

Wait who's this? Do you have a story you can link? My first thought is if the officer was arresting or fining others for gatherings then that's hypocritical. If they weren't on board with the lock downs altogether then I have less of an issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: All extremISM is bad. The extremISTS on all sides may not be bad people. Just swept up in consequential ideologies. Also, OJ's son did it.

NSAiswatchingus Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Wild day in Washington D.C. huh? I watched as many live streams as possible during and more after. It really looks like people were let past barricades and into the building by police. Up until the Ashli Babbitt gets shot it seems like everyone is kind of on the same page. Aside from that I really didn't see much more violence than the average mosh pit. It's crazy seeing the backlash the next day calling what look liked Florida tourists insurrectionists.

The irony is next level. ROBINHOOD is being used to get money away from rich and back to poor(ish), but once that starts they put a stop to it. I guess that company name was just for show! I'll never use Robinhood or any other app that go against the people on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think watching a bunch of rich people wet their pantaloons because they can't buy their 40th yacht is hilarious. As for digital currency, has anyone even carried cash since the pandemic started? Didn't needs stonks for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetNerfedOn Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 While generally I oppose the Trump admin due to various reasons something about his post-presidential impeachment trial just feels off to me. Like they're kicking him while he's down On another note, a known accord preventing the Philippine Armed Forces from entering the University of the Philippines'campuses was lifted quite some time back apparently because the best university in the country also produces the most communist insurgents what hurts is seeing that the public is largely indifferent to rallies and airing of public grievances because apparently just performing your civic duties of paying taxes and voting while not becoming politcally involved or remotely concerned for the welfare of the country is a-okay even if the state of the country is riddled with cancers. also it enrages me that a vast majority of people in public wear face shields but hike them up their foreheads because they get uncomfortable, effectively defeating the purpose of the mask in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
