It should be noted you guys don’t actully want free speech. You want a safe space to act like children. in a way most people would never tolerate.

Never change, Bryce. Never change.

He never disappoints.

Yes he does


by DonkJr

If you disagree with Bryce, it means that you oppose free speech. Don't try to argue that point, as it is self-evident. At least it would be to somebody that has the necessary high social skills.

by Didace

Never change, Bryce. Never change.

In reality, I have made 10 posts in this thread in many months, and most of those posts involved explaining other posts. I have zero concern or desire to censor your position but apparently you all have a strong desire to censor mine, which in my opinion goes against freedom. Yes you have a right to disagree. but lol at trying to cast a principled libertarian as some sort of authoritarian because you disagree on tone without facts.

The bolded is ridiculous but not sexist.

Criticism of an individual woman for being a gold digger is not sexist. Plenty of men in poker who live off their wives supporting them, they could be called the same thing.

Samantha Abernathy has had success in life and is an intriguing character, even by my harsh standards of what that means. She is a graduate of one of the best design schools in america, a very successful poker player, and compared to 99.999% of poker players is iconic.

There is 0.0 actual evidence she is a “goldigger” .


Who is trying to censor you??? You have always been a highly regarded, beloved poster on these forums!

That is not entirely true. I was banned many many times, and mat sklansky unbanned me a few times when no one else understood , which was kind, because I do indeed think in an unusual way. Thank you Mat.

lol. You are delusional.

Ok, what year was that? Was that even in this decade?

You are seriously grasping at straws, Bryce. You are one of the most liked people on these forums and have been for a long time. You are probably the last person here that should be playing the victim.

And why would any criticism of her, even if incorrect, be sexism?

You do understand that telling you that you're wrong about something and attempting to censor you are totally different things, right? Right? Because right now I'm not convinced you know what "censor" means.

that's not how it works for all his friends, all the groups he talks with, all his political positions, all his activism.

He actively wants to censor anyone who disagrees with the takes that are "obviously moral" like most people on the radical left do, so he thinks everyone reasons the same.

I am not sure that you have entirely got the hang of the concept of free speech.

bryce,

i dont agree with 99% of what you say, but i find you to be a likeable poster/person.

all of her achievements mean nothing to me. shes just hot as lava and i wouldn't mind making a nice soup stock with a pair of her used socks and a few cubes of fine bullion.

Cross and I go back a long ways. I've got nothing but respect for her and what you just witnessed was the utmost in civility on both sides. Her undertitle even comes from me.

lucky she was right there. and you werent so much imo.

anyway, whats up with the colombian gold, have you tried?

I had a Venezuelan coffee farmer once tell me that there are three types of gold in Colombia: black gold, green gold, and white gold.

Black gold is oil, green gold is coffee, and white gold is what you think it is. I've tried two out of three.


by Rococo

I have unpinned the moderation question thread. It never needed to be pinned in the first place and all it does in practice is turn the thread into a second low content thread.

Rename the chat thread the mod thread and vice versa?

Sounds like you're showering in gold over there.

"Socks".

no, colombian gold is mj, lucky. look it up, also look up punto rojo.
that farmer didnt know. there are other farmers there that know that stuff becuase they are growing it or just know about it.
why you ask a venezuelan farmer about farming in colombia? ask colombian farmers! are you in venezuela now?

Like 10% of the population in Colombia in Venezuelan. Back when Colombia was going through its 50 year long guerrila war and drug violence, Colombians would flee to Venezuela. Now it's the opposite.

oh i see, thanks.

so colombian white gold isnt white gold, its heroin.

cocaine; heroine is asian


by Luciom

actually no. colombia makes some too, certainly mexico.

but you are probably right that lucky meant cocaine as colombia is more famous for that.


heroin doesnt exist anymore. its all just fetty. well, even thats getting phased out for tranq dope. capitalism sucks. Marxism will bring back the good ole days of the heroin hug.
