torin bases these polls off of personal grudges and not actual stupidity

the nomination process probably does involve that
gonna be honest though i don't know why everyone thinks you're a dumbass, maybe i just missed it because i was away from the forums for a while

edit: oh
i see now.

lmao
"matthew you're a handicap"
"BUT CNN!!!111"
it's like his entire life revolves around stuffting on the so-called "mainstream media"

also why was mczealot even in the running for this, in what way is he the village idiot?

art is inherently subjective. what is great about art is that you can choose what art to enjoy and disagree with

implying this was art to begin with

everytime i see one of these traplink website adventures or some stuff i just get so offput by how pretentious it is and how they attempt for it to be as 'different' and 'unique' as possible

in reality its just stuff. it's not even weird, it's a stuffty attempt at being weird and it doesn't deserve any form of attention at all

This isn't art.
It's a bunch of random gif pages (I know it's random because it has the CS:S hands viewmodel and a model of doge in it, plus a bunch of unrelated flags and windows xp stuff)
and the background is some Windows XP song remix which is probably stolen off the internet.

who knew that I could just barf GIFs on a webpage and it'd be considered art

^ all this

i'm pretty sick of the whole "haha memes are art XDXD a e s t h e t i c" stuff
although phantos i disagree with you about the library of babel. the point of that isn't to be "art" or "pretentious," it's to demonstrate how anything can be found in random noise and i think it's really cool.

Voting on bills, as I have been informed by Tristan, is to take place between Members of Parliament unless stated otherwise by Tristan.

To clarify: This is because referendums are a much more highly involved process compared to parliamentary voting, and in real-life are reserved for only the most important of cases. For particularly controversial bills, I may resort to referendum.

We don't want to be like the barren lawless wastelands of Scandinavia!

I know you're joking but I'm sure some idiot of going to come waltzing in thinking that Scandinavia is a communist hellhole

1. Scandinavia is 3 countries and they are different
2. None of them are communist or even socialist
3. Instead, they generally follow the Nordic Model and it's working loving great (see points 4 and 5)
4. All 3 of them have very high rankings on the Human Development Index and Democracy Index - of which Norway is number 1 on both
5. They have high GDP per Capita AND low levels of income inequality - they're not mutually exclusive!
