for all intents and purposes, words literally mean whatever people think they mean, that's how language works. as long as there's an understood connotation, it doesn't make a difference.

Annoying Orange is probably a prejudiced non-discriminator at the most, what i'd be more worried about is what he would let the republicans in congress get away with

« on: July 24, 2016, 10:35:35 PM »
i don't have a problem with heightened security for refugees from unstable regions, even if they majority of them might be innocent, it's a reasonable precaution. i wouldn't support pushing them all back out though, because that's a punishment without any charges and without any guilt, and would be a fairly substantial breach of due process. i would bet that the supreme court wouldn't allow it if it were to be challenged
I don't disagree that the motivation in the Orlando attack likely had something to do with CIA. It's just maddening how whenever a muslim commits an act of terror, the media either tries to downplay or deny that the attacker was a muslim, likely to fit a narrative.i think it's more so that those media outlets are being careful to not negatively shape the public's reaction to fuel anti-muslim sentiments, since they certainly have the power to do it. it's funny how that kind of thing works, selectively using their powers responsibly
Coulter's law is the perfect example. The longer that the media goes without releasing any information on a shooter/terrorist, the more the probability of said individual being a straight white male declines.

« on: July 24, 2016, 10:11:44 PM »maybe if everyone voted for a person they wanted rather than the better of two evils we wouldn't be in this mess...strategic voting is pretty much necessary in an electoral system like we have. if everyone voted for who they actually wanted, it would definitely be better, but it's just not going to happen on a large scale. the fact that these are the least liked nominees in history makes this pretty interesting, because now stakes are even higher for a lot of people if they candidate they like least wins, which'll probably turn off a lot of people from third party votes because third parties are at an astounding disadvantage. at the same time a lot of people would rather take their chances with someone who's unlikely to win, but i imagine that's more of a minority of people, because people don't usually want to vote for losers
i think gary johnson has a better chance than a usual third party runner, but it's most likely that he's just going to act as a spoiler and force the currently republican-controlled house of representatives to decide (though it would be the newly elected house that decides so it may shift to the democrats, who knows), which nobody wants, except for maybe representatives
also here's the four-way polling right now:

no real trends here standing out, but we'll see how things change after this DNC nonsense. keep in mind that good polls will usually have around a +/-3% error, probably more in this case

garagegames documentation is usually not too helpful these days for modding BL, the BLF has much more useful advice a lot of the time, but the basics are nice to have covered. that might also be because i haven't had to go over the basics of TS in a long time tho
i think the biggest thing is that if he said he wants to mod blockland, spending a bunch of time learning how to do things that aren't modding blockland might not be the best way to learn how to do that. it's more of a personal choice, but i generally learn better by directly doing things i want to know how to do, and luckily blockland is a pretty good place to do that. i just find it hard to feel motivated to learn something in a roundabout way, it's much easier to work when i can get instant feedback on my progress toward my real goal. learning how to mod is also more than just knowing a language, most of the work in learning is figuring out the engine and all its quirks and tricks, and that's certainly not something you could ever learn by working in javascript

edit:
torquescript is a easy language to pick up imho. it's like c and c# had a baby but they tried to get it aborted and failedi rly think it is, even though its syntax error reporting is sometimes a bit mystifying, it's just really easy to quickly test your code and get results right away. JS can do that too in webpages i guess, but it's not really modding blockland
