What's the point in even trying to do anything other than make fun of you people for acting so outrageously all the forgetin time? It's another outrage every other week, and you wonder why you don't have a leg to stand on when you bitch and moan about the uppity libruls.

yeah how outrageous of us to disagree with you lol

I haven't really looked into this ordeal much and even I know this is complete bullstuff dude, no wonder nobody takes you seriously.

edit: missed this part of planr's increasingly stupid post
Newsflash, dumbass: I haven't chosen to believe stuff. I'm not a lawyer, I'm not involved in the case and none if it personally affects me. If the investigation goes through and it doesn't go to court, that's as far as "Innocent" is going to go, but until then I'm not going to pretend I have some imaginary stake in this.

you know, it would be nice if for once if you could just debate the issue without stooping to personally attacking people and call them vulgar names for disagreeing with you. it seems that every time you respond to something i or others post that you do this.

The guy is auditioning to become a supreme court justice. That's a big deal. The supreme court is the highest rung of the judicial system. If someone on the court isn't impartial or has any conflicts of interest, this is dangerous for the country. This is why I think it's a fool's game to immediately jump to the guy's defense. I'd rather a lengthy, unnecessary vetting process to prove someone is capable of being a supreme court justice rather than just allowing the guy in because he's a republican.

becoming a supreme court justice is a big deal, but literally no one on the supreme court is impartial, and they all have conflicts of interest. they all have political convictions and the members on the court almost always vote on issues based on party lines.

as to the matter of his innocence in this issue, the fact that he's being nominated to the supreme court is completely irrelevant in determining his innocence. he could be someone running for a county commissioner or even a school board and it would not make a difference in discerning whether or not he's guilty. is it important we find out the truth? absolutely. could what he did (or not did) 35 years ago somehow affect his judgment today and make him unfit to serve? i don't see how at all. people change. especially after 35 years.

the fact that right before he was due to be nominated to the supreme court, this woman jumps out and accuses him of something that she apparently did not even bother reporting for 35 years and only until now, at the exact time in which such an accusation would damage kavanaugh's reputation and government career the most, combined with the fact that her own witnesses say it didn't happen, and her own inability to even recount the actual date it occurred on, should indicate that something really fishy is going on here. this whole allegation affair reeks of conspiracy by the dems (and christine ford on her own inward desire) to keep kavanaugh from becoming a justice.

honestly though, kavanaugh's statements about loving beer and his admittance to being a drinker does cast a bad light on his ability to be a good justice. a justice should be sober-minded at all times. even if one's not drunk at a given time, a lifetime of drinking can certainly do damage to the brain, which can include the judgment and reasoning centers. if there's anything that could impair his ability to do his job correctly, it'd be his love for alcohol, not some alleged assault incident that supposedly occurred decades ago when he was a dumb teenager. people change, especially after 35 years, but the nature of alcohol's effect on a person does not change.

Off Topic / Re: Toys R Us bankruptcy auction canceled, brand set for revival

« on: October 02, 2018, 08:35:48 PM »

this won't last long. the market for children's toys is almost entirely online and toys r us just cant compete there.

these old anchor chain stores are rightfully dying. their age and method of doing business is evaporating.

the only physical-location toy stores that really make any kind of profit now are ones in amusement parks and malls. the days of kids getting excited for a trip to target to buy toy lightsabers passed over a decade ago. now they just wait for it to arrive in the mail. after all, why should parents want to put up with the hassle of getting kids ready to go out, getting them to all behave and stay in their car seats on the ride there, behave themselves in the store without breaking or knocking over any stuff, and not begging their parents to buy them every single thing they see, when they can avoid all of that by shopping online and having the product delivered to the house?

that's the real beauty of online shopping in today's age. it saves parents so much time and needless headaches of having to deal with taking their kids out in public. and it's the biggest reason why toys r us is ultimately doomed to oblivion. today's technology in today's society makes their business obsolete.

Quoting myself against because you all can't loving read worth a damn. Allegations will continue to stand until it is disproven.

"guys help, ikethegeneric raped me. until it can be disproven, it will stand as the truth!"

imagine if scientists discerned truth this way. "god is real, and this will stand until it can be disproven." anyone who understands science can tell you that's not how it works.
the burden of proof rests on the one making the positive claim. christine ford claims that kavanaugh loveually assaulted her. it's up to her team to prove this. kavanaugh is under no obligation to disprove it. if she's gonna come out and say these things, she has to back it up with evidence, which, so far, she's been completely unable to do. that is why there is no reason to assume that kavanaugh is guilty.

i'm sure of course you'll say that because this isn't a scientific issue, such standards of proving things in science does not apply here, thus vindicating you in shifting the goalposts for what qualifies as truth to any place of your liking.

I like it how y'all don't leave any room in your headspace for the possibility that Kavanaugh is somehow guilty. Despite the investigation and allegations that stand, you're already 100% convinced that it's all just a complete fabrication. Congratulations, you're a party shill just like you accuse all the leftists of being lmfao

also please stop it with this dumb moral grandstanding. just because you choose to believe he's guilty on the basis of an unsubstantiated claim does not make you superior to those who don't follow your philosophy on this.

(i wrote this post at 3:30 am while trying to fall asleep)

this entire "allegations" affair is just a witch hunt fabricated by the dems to do anything to stop kavanaugh's succession to the supreme court.

christine ford's testimony to the event has been consistently inconsistent. she cant even get the date the incident occurred right, as if she was unsure when it even happened at all. she said in several reports it took place in the mid 80s, in others she said the early 80s, and in others she gave a more specific date in 1982. to make things worse for her case, none of the people she claims witnessed it or were involved in it have corroborated her story. honestly, i think she's either legitimately crazy or just making the whole thing up. women are generally very skilled at the art of social deception and lying, in our culture anyways (see also the #metoo movement). and considering how far she and the dems supporting her have gotten this to go, she's unfortunately doing a very good job at it.

that being said, kavanaugh's own comments on his love for drinking alcohol, combined with eyewitness testimony from his college friends saying he often would have too much to drink, is not going to do his case any favors. i feel bad for him having to be so slanderously accused and disgraced on a national stage like this, but i also feel he's kind of deserving it for choosing to live and promote a harmful and dangerous lifestyle (a lifestyle of continuous drinking) that tears apart countless families and is one of the leading causes of car crashes and domestic abuse.

i'm not saying the fact he drinks is bad, but that in his hearings he defended it as a habitual lifestyle (he literally said he loves beer) while denying the possibility that his judgment could have been sufficiently impaired to make him commit such acts against others as christine ford has accused him of.

both parties in this incident have holes in their positions, but at the end of the day there's just been absolutely no evidence  presented so far that even indicates kavanaugh did anything.

and apparently now word's gotten out that chrisrine ford never even wanted this incident to go public as it has in the first place, and specifically requested to those in the democrat party whom she confided in that they keep this confidential. but yet apparently the dems betrayed her request on this and immediately leaked the story to the press. it makes sense considering that before these allegations even blew up, the dems were saying from day 1 that they would do anything they could to stop kavanaugh's succession to the supreme court. and now here we are.

I said this 5 years ago and i still stand by it. The game needs Steam Workshop support. Or I guess I should say needed. There are a number of things Badspot could've done to at least partially revive the game and rekindle interest but I think he just wants to move on for the most part.

i don't think you really understand how bad of a mod managing system steam workshop is

Help / Re: About the max size/length of ogg music for use in Blockland

« on: September 30, 2018, 01:18:55 PM »

the size is not based on audio length, but actual data size.
for the record, the limit is 1024 kilobytes (1 megabyte).

you can reduce the filesize for a given loop by lowering its hertz rate. i've found from years of looping music that 32,000 hertz is the ideal quality rate for music loops in blockland. any value above this just increases filesize without any significantly noticeable increase in quality, and anything below this will gradually lower quality (but also reduce filesize).

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Setprint event.

« on: September 29, 2018, 10:02:20 AM »

try this

Code: [Select]

[x][0] onActivate -> Client -> BottomPrint("<var:br:printname>", 3, 0)
[x][0] onActivate -> Self -> VCE_modVariable("Brick", "printname", "Set", "2x2r/mintor1")
the first event line is used to tell you what the name of the print is on the brick (so you can know what to put for line 2), and the second event line changes the print on the brick.

also credit to Jam Jar for this because he showed me how to do this too a month ago
