Off Topic / Re: U.S.A. Politics Thread | Left threaten to EXECUTE Annoying Orange.
« on: August 16, 2022, 11:26:32 AM »Dude you need to try weed or something.
Also lol at calling it lies immediately after posting a Fox News link, you know those guys who posted a bad photoshop a couple days ago they claimed to be real.
They have a track record of lying. proven in a court of law they have lied to get to their impeachment trials.
Fox News isn't ideal, but they're way better than the other leftist blogposts that ignorant people consider news.

« on: August 15, 2022, 09:42:23 PM »I dunno man, if he sold nuclear secrets to an enemy country that's kinda a biggie.There's not a damn thing they claim that I'm willing to believe anymore.
They've lied, and lied, and lied, and lied.
They're terrified of Annoying Orange.
They're willing to lie to go after Annoying Orange.
This has been done before, multiple times. And it always came out, someone among them lied or manipulated
emails and evidence to get to their impeachment hearings. Then they couldn't actually come up with anything against him.
As it becomes clear that their policies aren't working and under fair and standard circumstances they will lose, they're going to
do basically anything to maintain their power.

This is insanity, absolutely ridiculous. Threatening to execute political opposition is only a few steps away from a dictatorship.
This is a threat to our Republic, and it can't be ignored.
These unhinged actions must be condemned by all those of sane and rational thought.
You do not want the precedent of executing political rivals to be set. This will lead to bad places.

« on: August 12, 2022, 05:14:36 PM »The new T3D 4.0 could be released soon. I could give it another try to fix the Blockland vanilla port. If you want to check it out, here it is.
Wait, wait. new Torque 3D?
I thought Torque 3D had long since been abandoned.
V21 was the death sentence that Blockland didn't deserve.
V21 was just blankly announced. Half the community balked and didn't like the idea. And upon release most players started having issues with the shadows not looking like the screenshots or even being available for them. Despite community backlash, the change remained.
v21 was an update ahead of it's time.

Let's go through it, completely then. I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, but the Media has an arsenal of manipulative tactics they use in their articles, from headline to sources, it's all a game of threading the needle just right.
Right off the bat, let's get through this, and break it down.
FBI searched Annoying Orange's home to look for nuclear documents and other items, sources say
look - this is used in the context to cover their bases while not explicitly saying that no such documents were found, just searched for. Slightly misleading but not the main concern here.
nuclear documents - not specified as being classified here, or anywhere else in the article, but there will be some clever manipulations to discuss further down regarding this issue. It's also not clear on what type of Nuclear they mean, nuclear power, weapons, some other non-radioactive use of the term nuclear. Intentionally Vague terms written in such a way to imply classified nuclear documents, but not explicitly said.
other items - This is likely because nuclear documents was among a list of other search objectives, and it's highly possible that if they didn't list this it would get them in trouble for stating the search was about nuclear documents and only nuclear couments.
sources say - This is a common one, among "experts say" and "doctors say". vague, no names or agencies directly tied in, just vague and meaningless sources making this claim. That way, above all else, they can't be held liable since it's supposedly a quote. I doubt this would hold up in court, but good luck taking these guys to court.
"Wait, wait wait, I thought you just said this had nothing to do with classified documents or nuclear weapons." Well, first no. I said it was unclear, but second, this is a very clever use of the "sources say, experts say" quote loophole. As everything that is stated here ends with "according to people familiar with the investigation."
Not according to people in the investigation, or anyone from the investigation, not a name or a specific source at all. Just people who are "familiar" with the investigation. And a similar situation happens in the next paragraph.
"Experts" have an opinion that orange man bad. This is a nothing paragraph that servers no purpose other than to inject an opinion into an article and claim it's an Expert quote.
"The people who described some of the material that agents were seeking spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation." How is this any better than saying "anon said to me that the earth is flat" on 4chan? And then five seconds later this glorious statement.
"They did not offer additional details about what type of information the agents were seeking, including whether it involved weapons belonging to the United States or some other nation. " Which seemingly contradicts what they said earlier, But it technically doesn't because all of these "quote" loopholes are vague enough to be completely different sources. Logically it contradicts the entire claim of the article, but legally it doesn't.
These are manipulative tactics to trick title parsers and circumvent legal prosecution.
Fill up the first couple of paragraphs with quotes from anons who totally 100% exist, trust me guys.
Then further in the article, tell the truth but make sure it's so over-worded and hard to read that at first glance it's not immediately apparent that it's a contradiction.
Another paragraph from someone actually involved in the investigation saying that they "authorized the decision to seek court permission for a court warrant." but that otherwise that he couldn't speak on the investigation.
The rest of the article from here is basically a recycling of the tactics above to shove more opinions into the article to extend out it's length. Although, some opinions do come from people who have names. Ooh, fancy. Also there's an another entire article long rant going off topic in the same article to extend the article.

Find a quote from me from 2020 onward saying that.
Police blew their good will when they started enforcing gubernatorial declarations over constitutional rights.

« on: August 08, 2022, 03:26:19 PM »you don't gotta say all that though. you can just say the thread is mid. it's not gotta be that complicatedWe've hit the point in the culture of the Forum where we start making Remakes and Remasters.
It's always a given that most of them will be lesser than the original, simply out of the fact that they're a copy. A polished, and smooth copy, but a copy nonetheless.
Even "tribal SHOULD HAVE THIER BL KEYS REVOKED HD REMASTER" will never measure up to the original.
