Feeling good, had a porcelain white can’t-see-pee this morning. Staying hydrated. Etc.

I'd like to rescind my signature, I do not wish to associate

Curious why it isn't just called pee yellow? Logically too we would get dehydrated pee orange. Slightly dehydrated pee olive. Very dehydrated pee brown. Etc.

Didn't want to feel left out sign me up

Keno but you bet your treaties

This is a dumb question but you'll have to excuse me it's been a while. How do you change your member title?

As you allude to in the second section some of the parameters need to get tweaked in the US sure. Lobbying in politics is a huge one. Another big one for me is privatization of media without proper oversight. And a big part of this comes from our advertising culture which promotes a synergistic relationship between advertisers and outlets that can reach the largest proportion of people with expendable income. In the 20th century, readership numbers stopped being as important once advertising revenue won out. Over time, this led to the demise of outlets that spent their time focusing on issues related to the working class. And now in the 21st century I think we are seeing the repercussions of this as media outlets battle over two major demographics: young money founded on education and old money founded on generational wealth. And I feel that those unspoken for is the demographic becoming increasingly radicalized by populist, anti-establishment rhetoric. In this manner, this trend toward commercialization is one that is antagonistic toward maintaining a strong social fabric. There is no money to be made in it. And the resulting culture of individualism and consumerism erodes social factors that might otherwise mitigate the effects of income inequality. But you don't need to burn the whole system to the ground to change this, you just need to reign these issues in.

Yeah this is a bit of a tough look: However, I'm not that familiar with the situation but this just doesn't seem true. Reading through the list of "lessons", Alan's viewpoint is definitely not a universal experience. And not a mindset I would advise people to adopt. There's a lot of a lines I could choose as example, but this in particular is a crazy bar: The whole paragraph that follows just really lost me. It's just a bunch of half-truths. And my sense tells me a lot of this post is.

I want to be supportive but you have to understand that this puts me in a tough spot for my gigs on Coruscant. I just wish you'd ran this by me first.

I'm on team centralized community discourse. Everyone talks mechanics when it comes to changing the game for the better, but since when has this game been anything other than a bunch of people fighting over pixels? It doesn't matter what Alex does if the social element isn't there. And I didn't expect to say it but I agree with Kastor. The most interesting parts of the game in my experience have come from random beef that gets blown out of proportion. I'm reminded of this thread by Pre a while back, and particularly a comment by Sketchy:

No nation's warehouses are safe. And you thought Berghain was hard to get into?

I'm all for fighting for the sake of fighting, but there's no reason to mask it with thin logic. Just makes it seem like a bad excuse when trying to take control of a war is the aim. If NPO came out and said what they were doing and fought honorably, sure they would get some flak for whole "consolidation" thing, but I think more people could get behind it.

Hi Alex - I want to say that I think not enough will have been done if the current course remains. However, I have faith that you are trying to get more evidence to bring justice where it is needed. Regardless, I appreciate your dedication to responding directly to this issue and I hope we can all find an agreeable resolution to this.

give me those ankles boi

Not a bad point. IIRC, Blackfyre is already considered an SK extension in the statistics, so it makes a degree of sense. However, to Buorhann's point, they're simply not a coordinated combatant. As well, Arrgh currently has 2 active wars against TGH, 1 against Empyrea, and 1 against KT. Despite the fact that Arrgh is attacking Chaos to a greater degree, it still seems clear to me that these are opportunistic raids rather than any sort of front in the war.

Bow before me mere mortals

I think I deserve some recognition for locking down the 3 or less city tier. Praise me.

inb4 it comes out that kastor leaked it
