Summer LC thread

There are two taboos in America: one is calling anything racist and the other is calling anyone “rich.” So many great responses in this thread.

PS: I’d bet real money that “daughter of a DC cop” translates to “daughter of a police commissioner” and “son of a plumber” maps to “son of someone who owns a plumbing company.”

It’s nicely framed in the circle and high quality.

Not a fan of animated avatars

Pretty painless to make, I’ll roll with it for a bit, GIMP has a quick way to resize/crop an animated image.

Yeah, fair enough, I think I ultimately agree, will pick something else later

Just asking if anyone is willing to add some threads as I’m pretty bad at politics OP’s :shushing_face: suggestions…

The President of the USA
Nancy Pelosi The speaker of the house
AOC
Law & Order
Trumps America
Jeffrey Epstein Case
Are my goto threads at the old site. :pray: Be a gentleman and Set 1 up on a quiet Sunday :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I know cheeky, but I’m really bad at OP’s :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Edit: I can post T’s tweets until the bots arrive. :v:Like I done on the old site for The Trump thread if someone creates 1. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It should stop the US from organizing any international tournaments. It used to be part of getting a tournament that team and staff were guaranteed visas. Not sure how they get away with blocking an entire team.

Where’s the Trump thread?

Just a note, I think the move here is largely justified for general reasons and potential upside, and I’m tentatively in support of it. However, I also think the proboards forum has been surprisingly good. As with everything in business, politics, and life, abstract reasons for doing X over Y mean nothing without great implementation (see, eg, “let’s do communism/libertarianism, they’re great ideas!”).

So, I’m on board with the unstuck politics switch for now, but we got a good thing going at the proboards site, and if this site does not at least threaten to match it within two weeks, I say we stick with proboards. I don’t want to be a utopian who dies out in the wilderness from exposure based on principle.

That said, I’m willing to post on this site for now and to see how it goes. Now, someone needs to set up the racist Donny bot.

The politics section of this site will struggle until the bots move over here. Once that happens I think it’ll be fairly smooth going. This site should really come into its own for live events such as the Dem debates coming up in a few days. The dynamic updating of threads will really be great for that. IIRC, the most users online at any one time on Exiled was during the first debate. I think we really should try and have the bots over here by then @goofyballer if at all possible.
Also very cool is that as I was typing this out I could see your edit made to your post.

Hi guise! Are we officially over here now, letting tRUmpbot continue it’s decent into madness all by itself?

Poor bot.

It will make American players less competitive if they’re not playing against international talent. The US men already lag behind in comparison to other countries, this sort of racist isolationism will only compound that.

The interface might take getting a little used to, but the move is a net positive, imo.

We are community of like minded individuals and you people* keep me sane letting me know I’m not alone in how I feel about the current political landscape.

Knowing we have something that is ours, with our own domain name means something to me, at least, and this forum provides me a glimmer of hope that the entire world won’t descend into an authoritarian nightmare.

*I intentionally tried to make that sound as racist as possible since the bot isn’t up and running yet

People who haven’t had Vietnamese coffee need to drink it now.

C’mon man, you freakin’ own the domain. This is an incredibly disheartening post to read. Please rethink your comments and the position you are posting from.

I have no idea why peeps are so reluctant to make the switch. It isn’t that hard to register for a new forum, fam.

Need Trump bot. I have the word Trump muted on Twitter so I actually didn’t see his racist garbage about Baltimore until last night.

I honestly think he’s trying to lose the 2020 election and get pardoned by Pence.

It’s kind of hilarious (unless you’re Zikzak, ggoreo and the others who have put tons of unpaid effort into the new site) how grumpy some people are being about the move. It’s like a Larry David convention. C’mon guys - you’d think you were being asked to quit your jobs, sell your homes and move to a new country. What would your ancestors who made the journey to the New World think?:crazy_face:

The struggle changes. It doesn’t get easier
