The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Sounds like Luckbox already found a few lines this morning.
98% of Somalians agree with barbaric practices so given it's very hard to determine who the 2% who don't is, we should ban immigration from somalia in western countries -> allowed or not?
When you can predict what people believe/support based on geography then you can be pretty confident it's nothing to do with the attributes of individuals
Ironically that video is restricted here I had to turn on my VPN just to see what it was.
It's not quite legal here. I think you're allowed to cultivate it for personal use but you can't buy or sell it.
there are cannabis dispenseries in the capital now imo.
yeah they are still working on the legal aspects.
if I were to say that Ghana has worse outcomes than south Korea because Ghana residents made and make far worse choices every day of their lives (for whatever, unknown reasons) and that means Ghana residents are worse human beings that south Korea residents, I don't think this would be allowed on this forum, and would be called supremacism or other words used to define politica
I think you have no idea what you're talking about. You're not even taking into account the range of options open to both sets of people.
Also, it's puerile to say that people from one country are "better" objectively than another.

what about one country, on the whole, being better at something than another country? can't this be a true statement without one being racist?
kenyans are better at long distance running than americans.
americans are better at swimming than kenyans.
are these racist statements? i wouldn't think so. so the question becomes when does the line get crossed?
is it when you bring in intelligence, or perception of? or is it just when one places a higher value on a life based off of use of metrics?
I've ****ed my life up in the worst possible way right now.
Washoe posted that youtube video and it was restricted in Colombia so I used a VPN to see what it was, then I turned off the VPN and found that my youtube was in restricted mode and I couldn't turn it off-- the option was grayed out. WTF? Ok. So I google about it and they suggest deleting cookies. So I delete my cookies. Huge mistake.
I always travel with two cell phones and my first phone I dropped flat on its screen on concrete and it's completely ****ed and needs a new screen but really I'll just get a new phone.
So ok I have my backup phone, took it climbing up some waterfalls a couple days ago in a dry bag but my dry bag has tiny little holes in it from abrasion. Fortunately my camera survived but my phone #2 didn't.
I use google voice and was logged in but when I deleted my cookies I logged myself out of google, and I can't log back into google without access to my google voice account because that's my two-step verification. And it's also linked to my hotmail email but I can't log into it because it's linked to my google.
Even once I get a new phone which will probably be on Sunday I'll still be locked out of my google . My phone is also through Google Fi which at least they have a number I can call.
The only reason I'm able to even post here now is because I remember my 2p2 password. I won't be able to log into my paypal which I have a card through, I'm also basically broke and having to sell off bitcoin just to fund myself right now, and without access to paypal or robinhood I'll be running out of money.
Hotmail says it'll take a month to reset my security because if I could access it I could get my google back.
Yikes. Having to go back to the US as a result of deleting my cookies seems insane but it's sort of where I'm at.
I've tried various data recovery options to restore my deleted cookies but those don't seem to be working.
JFC Luckbox. Wow. Having to change life plans due to a video washoe posted is quite something.

I'm trying to see what sort of Microsoft support options I have now and I have some old laptops and phones in Phoenix that I could try to have my brother access and see if I can log in but I feel like I've changed all my passwords so that's a long shot.
I also think I remember my robinhood password and can jump through the hoops of reestablishing 2FA with them because Ive done that before, and I'm sure I can can get paypal on the phone but yeah the whole thing is a disaster.
The worst part is that I do know both my google and microsoft passwords it's the 2FA that is the problem and having them linked to each other.
There is also the get my wet phone working route and it almost booted into recovery yesterday which was a glimmer of hope but today nothing.
Take whatever you can scrape up to the casino and **** or bust. That's what I would do lol.
I think youre going to be fine, LB. There was a time when people hiked and explored waterfalls with zero phones instead of two.
If you start getting real hungry, ler me know and ill give some pointers on how to trap salmon in the waterfalls.
Dunno, I'm pretty comfortable saying that Trump supporters as a group are "worse" than non Trump supporters, for example. Or that zealous religious adherents at a net negative to humanity. Unlike Luciom I don't think killing them all is a moral imperative, though. Baseball bat to the kneecaps should suffice.
Sure, it's fine for you to think that, and I have similar opinions about those two groups, but saying one group is "better" doesn't convey any information because there is no universal standard.

Well yeah I'm not going to die, I have credit cards, I have a little bit of cash money, I have bitcoin, I can buy a new phone. The issue is how integral having access to my google account is for my life. The vast majority of my passwords I don't know- I just use the "select strong password" feature and have them saved through google. That I'm able to post here right now and access 2 of my 3 bank accounts is somewhat of a miracle.

Neither Kenyans nor Americans are a race, so it certainly wouldn't be racist.
It would be very difficult to know if it were even objectively true, as these are individual skills, and I can't imagine any situation in which it would be relevant. Sounds similar to "USA #1" or "Go Kenya" by someone attending the Olympics.
Saying one country has a more productive economy than another is easier to judge and could actually be relevant to something like improving people's lives.

You don't know your PayPal password either? If you have credit cards and two bank amounts it seems like that is good.
I'm not sure I understand your situation completely, but I hate that so many things require two step verification now and dread the thought of losing my phone, or especially getting my phone and laptop stolen at the same time.
Even to log into my email from a new device I have to prove it is really me by doing something on my phone. So what would I do if my phone was lost or stolen? I don't think my actual password accomplishes anything anymore. Years ago before I had a phone with internet access and was traveling, I would check my email every day or two at a library or internet Cafe. Now I don't think I would even be able to do that.

I know my paypal password but it's going to want 2FA for me to login.
And yeah your nightmare scenario is basically where I'm at except instead of my laptop being stolen I deleted my cookies.
The fact that my phone number is through google compounds the issue severely.
Only everyone who knows what race and racism mean.
Do you think American is a race? If so, I suppose you won't find it convincing, but on the bright side you must live in a USA with no racial conflict, as everyone is the same race.
