OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLV: Y2K Twenty-Four Years Later

[Borsig]

It's another in a long line of the right wing, evangelicals, et.al. taking over and creating media that can overtly or subjectively, like this will start off as, promote their agenda. Get into their heads early in this case.

Holy shit. talk about an echo chamber. Have yo watched like... 95% of what hollywood produces?

The way they get around that caveat is by the mantra "We tolerate everything but intolerance" which is the result of mining this insipid tautology from leftist philosopher Karl Popper: "

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”​

That doesn't take much around these parts.

Can you watch the streaming service on Sunday? Does it just switch to church services the entire day?

Someone was going to start an anti-woke streaming service - not the first group I would think of, but also not the last.

Yeah the last time, and I think you were included in the ban I didn't think anyone from either side said anything out of line.

Around HFB? Maybe. But I’d say we got super open-minded mods.

I once got a warning for saying what I got warning for. It was apparently disclosure of personal information.

The first rule of fight club is that you don't talk about fight club

The first rule of slight club is that you don't talk about slight club

Or in this case...

First rule is I win, because I have different rules.

Same here way back when I first got on here, which I found really because it's like getting a ticket for telling someone you got a speeding ticket. Now we're both going to get a warning for mentioning we got a warning for saying we got a warning

The local constabulary is pretty willing to let things slide as long as things aren't getting heated, but sometimes globals or admins drop in and have different opinions.

And the no discussion of moderation rule is just broadly ridiculous. If anything, discussing moderation lets people better understand where the lines are, which, if you want people to actually behave, is only a positive. But it is a rule, so tut tut, let's drop that line of discussion.

Yea I think HFCanes for the most part is pretty chill. It's over on the HFMain that it's just like NHL officiating, fans of some franchises are allowed to get away with murder while those from "lesser" franchises can't even criticize without it being considered "flaming"

Band?!!? Was it a good band or just some shitty high school marching band. If so what would you do with that anyway....oh shit, you said banned...that sure is a funny way to spell band.

 

[Unsustainable]

We should just talk in code:

Something good: NC Pulled Pork
Something bad: KC BBQ
Something that doesn't exist: California BBQ.

The last ban wave, I assume, was due to their “No politics“ rule. Which, to be fair, I can see the reasoning behind. It’s a very violate topic, especially lately, and while I agree that no one said anything out of line, it seems like one of those rules that they have to enforce harshly because if they allow the topic to be discussed, it almost always eventually ends up in a very heated circular discussion.

That being said, as more and more aspects of everyday life apparently become “political issues”, the banning of such discussions would eventually lead to the absence of all off-topic discussion. The Chik-Fil-A post is a prime example of that. When I first posted it, politics was the last thing on my mind. I just thought it was a very weird idea that had almost no chance of success and wanted to see if others had a reasonable explanation. The initial answer was pushing far-right propaganda, which it could very well be, given Chik-Fil-A’s previous history, but Dave also provided the answer of tax manipulation, which also makes sense. And has nothing to do with politics.

I'm tempted...I love EHM but there's issues that have been plaguing it for years and it seems like Riz will never get the support he needs to make updates/fixes/improvements
