@kalayaan Some great tributes here:

She was fierce, but also tender and was ultimately broken by a world that couldn't handle the truth.

Certain conservatives fully abandon libertarian ideals and decide they have the right to control what others do, read and, apparently now, purchase. So much for their opposition to "cancel culture."

https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201003/why-liberals-are-more-intelligent-conservatives

"...more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children. For example, among the American sample, those who identify themselves as “very liberal” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 106.4, whereas those who identify themselves as “very conservative” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 94.8."

"Liberals do control the media, show business, and academia, among other institutions, because, apart from a few areas in life (such as business) where countervailing circumstances may prevail, liberals control all institutions. They control the institutions because liberals are on average more intelligent than conservatives and thus they are more likely to attain the highest status in any area of (evolutionarily novel) modern life."

No surprises here.

@blablarg18 I assume most of the graded materials you read have pictures.

@blablarg18 He is also loves to flirt with racism, misogyny and homophobia, so I completely understand why you have such a hardon for him.

@manrmen-0

@lololulu19 And why was the "evidence" never heard Clarence Darrow? Your lack of knowledge of law is on par with your general ignorance of most things.

I have a problem with Vuze seeding (and I have made the changes recommended in the FAQ). When I upload to or download a file from this site, the seeding stops once the it has been grabbed once or the download finishes. As a result, despite the fact I am almost constantly online, my ratio is getting worse. What really confuses me is that this only happens here. Torrents I download from other sites seed normally.

Does anyone know if this is a Vuze problem, or is there something abnormal about my connection to the tracker here? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@hubrys Briliant. Will you marry me

@raphjd Read again. I said I can't be responsible for the people who denigrated you. I said my experience here was being insulted and slandered by you...and blabla. If you want to excuse that with your LDS (liberal derangement syndrome), that' on you.

And it has always been clear that you are sure you are correct about everything despite all evidence to the contrary. You are very consistent that way.

You should be happy. You've cleared the room, as they say. You post...blabla agrees. Perfect silo and it gives you the elusion of having won the argument rather than the reality of "I really can't be arsed."

@raphjd I don't know or care about the history of interactions with others. Has nothing to do with me. I can only speak to my experience of being called a stupid POS (numerous times by you) and a pedo and other schoolyard taunts by blablah. But I am sure you will have some whataboutism to counter that, so whatever. But look what has happened to participation on this board. It's all yours, mate.

Sadly, everything us "libs" predicted would happen if Trump were re-elected has come true and worse.

@raphjd Gee. I wonder why they stopped? It was such a friendly, respectful atmosphere.

@Frantic310 This is not the place to discuss politics, believe me. I used to try but gave up after watching "discussions" devolve into infantile personal attacks and the same-old right wing gaslighting. I blocked @blablablabarg a long time ago. I check in from time to time just to see what is being discussed, but it's just endless postings of yellow journalism anectodal stories written to make the left look bad. To be fair, the gay rightwingers here may see this board as some kind of sanctuary because I can't imagine they have many public spaces where they feel comfortable expressing their bigotry. But once you realize that every accusation is a confession with these people, and watching their mental gymnastics trying to defend the indefensible, you will figure out that it's not worth your time.

@raphjd Funny that grand juries agreed. But we know how this goes. The judicial system is only fair when your criminals get with it or are pardoned. Just like elections are only fair when y'all win.

@raphjd Right. I'm sure there are millions and millions. Unlike Fox who had to pay that.

It is impossible to take you seriously.

@raphjd I have no idea what you are talking about, but whatever your little anecdote refers to, am quite sure they didn't all get together and do that, and more than likely it didn't happen at all.

Btw: I wasn't talking to you. I know you love your Fox and CTs. Crack on!
