@Mil Mi-8 It's derailing because Queex isn't actually addressing the underlying issue, and is instead jumping in to defend their position without first establishing the relevant basis. In other words, tough shit. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:15, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

"Concern trolling"?

Apparently, all concern is concern trolling? Is this attitude about world affairs not the same attitude that allowed Islamic radicalism to rise and the September 11th attacks to happen? This seems like a disingenuous attempt to silence anyone who raises a degree of concern about a fairly reckless move by the Biden-Harris administration rather than preventing perceived trolling.

Troll ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:57, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Something I've been thinking about for a while

I find funny how some people seem to think you're some sort of gatekeeper here on RW even though, despite our disagreements on many subjects our relationship has always been cordial. It's almost like it's dishonesty, not different opinions, that makes you mad. GeeJayK (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

@GeeJayK I know this is to other readers to some degree, but yes, it's generally dishonesty and/or ignorance that riles me up. Ironic, given my inclination towards politics. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 02:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Oh I believe GC thinks dishonesty makes him mad. It's that I think whatever threshold for dishonesty he has is unreasonably low, his general tendency to admonish others so frequently while he's posting his takes (comments along the vein of "I know you guys are too stupid to understand what I'm saying" are frequent), and that has led him to accusing users like CorruptUser and Queex of dishonesty, if not acting unreasonably aggressive to both of them, even though I don't think they ever posted anything that deserved that. When he's told to lay off aggression, he pivots to "tone fallacy" and whatnot when that's not a proper application for it. His comments have been generally unpleasant to read in the recent times frankly. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 02:13, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

This place is a toxic waste dump

Admin deletes AFD for harassment against me, and reason for AFD deletion was deleted by you, and a user whitewashing violence is deemed 'character assassination' if pointed out. GL with RW, it's why no one wants to maintain the database ,and why im abstaining from AFDSs2600:8806:0:C2:7CAD:1784:1472:1FCE (talk) 14:27, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

It's a wiki. People can literally read every post unless an admin hides the logs, which I did not do. Your delusional ego trip can fuck right off with accusations of malicious intent. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 14:30, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Friendly inquiry

I don't know who @Brain Galaxy is. Is there something I ought to know about them? It is not obvious to me why you reverted their comments on Hereditarianism This is not a strong area for me even though I have been getting involved in it, so I really am uncertain.

@Ariel31459 It looks like Mikemikev, though it could be another dumbfuck. If you want to tear apart someone who defers to Wiki farms like Wikia for serious topics, go right ahead, just be aware that it looks to be bad faith from the start. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 23:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Vladislav Surkov—food for thought?

I remember you stressing (to other RWickians) that they shouldn’t focus solely on Putin when it comes to the Russian state – and rightly so! – but should also consider prominent party figures such as Lavrov. Moreover considering our estimate of Putin (albeit at 70 odd years of age) seems to be that he isn’t as smart as many thought—I thought you might find this BBC series on Vladislav Surkov interesting. Surkov, at least according to this documentary [the blurb of said documentary, to be precise], has played a deep role in the Kremlin’s foreign and domestic policy and in helping bring about the post-truth age we are currently saddled with. LeucippusSalva veritate 22:26, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

@Leucippus Yeah, I've heard of Surkov. I'll check the documentary out, though I'd also be wary of the mythologization that seems to have emerged around him. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 02:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Indeed I think this documentary is, to some extent, feeding on that mythologization, not to mention a great deal of simplification and reductionism, in order to make it more interesting to the layperson (perhaps by concocting bold claims of the flavour of “architect of the post truth age” conjures up romantic motifs of intrigue and Bond villains in the British public—I don’t know!). In any event, don’t feel forced to watch it on my account! LeucippusSalva veritate 02:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

why was i banned Vortex (talk) 16:20, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

You weren't. You were blocked for one hour for being an ass. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 16:29, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Uhm uh why was my thread deleted?

I honestly just wanted an honest talk about the topic i'm sorry if i did something wrong but pls contact me if so, the only thing I hate more ten getting removed from forums its getting removed without a message or a chance to defend myself. TH (talk) 21:26, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Tr3ll15 Nothing good comes from trying to abolish the age gate. Nothing good comes from advocating for its removal either. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Explain for me pls I'm not advocating for like no age barrier but honestly just want it to be a bit more flexable or uhm not as rigid? I would like just y'know less of you have to be 18 and more you have to understand how this effects you and are you willing to take responsability for your actions and less oh your like one day till your birthday you still cant have a beer and the next day they deem you clearly ready to drink. I just want a better notion of accountability and understanding rather than attributing maturity to one specific dateTH (talk) 21:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
That's nice enough in theory, in practice it gets very messy. as in, there are people who would abuse such a flexible system to abuse people. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
of course but that would happen with or without the maturity rule. there are people who would abuse people anyway I've seen it it's messed up but such as laws go there is always a risk involved. also I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how this would realistically be implemented if it could. I think that the only thing that should separate our childhood and adulthood is our own understanding nothing more nothing less.
and well it'd just be easier and less semantic for us to have some sort of maturity clause at the very least then again it could have a backfire effect making it easier to exploit.
and honestly this doesn't just apply to teenagers I'd argue that some "adults" are very irresponsible and uh might need to be taken accountable.
and finally i'm just fed up with having to go along with my parrent for everything I guess thats my main point I want people to distance themselves from people who they do not want to be with I'm honestly just fed up with all the oppression and restrictions I've had to live with for so long! TH (talk) 22:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
@Tr3ll15 No. Leave the age gate alone. "well people will do bad things even with rules" is a dumbass argument. It ignores the mitigation from there being rules. It's also just fucking stupid, since it's almost exclusively deployed by self fucks who can't stand not being able to do literally anything they want. Don't be like them. Be smart. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:09, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
I guess this just stems from me bieng feeling opressed and living under my parrent's heel so yeah it might just be me wanting desperatly to relesemyself from my parrents trust me i've gotten into porn stated drinking and making all sorts of dumb decisions it's just me and my prejudice speaking now I feel stupid. (:( "sigh" i'm sorry for bothering you like this I'm just fed up with how my life ended up and how I am now. — Unsigned, by: Tr3ll15 / talk / contribs
@Tr3ll15 Are you under 18? ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
not anymore I thought it would be easier but nope I just wanted to be prepared and not belittled by my parrents and I just feel like an assholeTH (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Life sucks, the trick is to try to navigate it and get it to be a little bit less shit. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:27, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
If you are 18, in most states (I assume you are in the US because you are bitching about beer age laws :) ), that is the age of majority. I don't know what your current life goals are, but hey, if it's just having a goal to obtain enough financial independence to not have to depend on the parents, that is something concrete you can work towards. Meh (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Well ok how bout this new stance I want there to be a way to just fucking be a way for peopke under 18 to just make fucking desccions for themselves not having to always live/obey their parents until they reach 18 I just don't want people to continue to suffer through what was for me; limbo.TH (talk) 22:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, well they aren't generally able to make those determinations for themselves. Hence the rules. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:55, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Do you mean that in a mental ability sense or in a legal sense? because if it is the latter then duh, that what i'm arguing for but if it's the former I would like to ask why you think that. do you believe that people who are in their teens cannot understand their responsibilities?TH (talk) 22:57, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
and another thing do you think that people who have "just" turned 18 can? honestly i'm just advocating for nuance in age based laws.TH (talk) 16:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Because the alternative allows child abuse. Duh. That's why I don't believe in looser age laws. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 16:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
What about the current laws? it all depends on what ethical system you depend on. what defines a child? in my terms it is someone primarily categorized as young and unable to fend for themselves that in my terms is a variable. also wouldn't having a broad abuse law instead rather than having to single out who is a child and who be better?
Also it would not be without regulation. honestly a stupid rule I came up with previously was that age gaps should be restricted to a 10% age difference but that goes against the whole argument.
age and maturity are different things period. age is obviously not just a number it is a timeline maturity is a spectrum on the timeline.
and last you talk like it's either/or it's not as I have said it's nuanced.TH (talk) 18:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
@Tr3ll15 That's nice. There's still giant loopholes that will be exploited, mainly by pedos. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 18:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
true true anyway thank you for giving me a chance to argue my point.TH (talk) 19:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
@Tr3ll15 I was talking about in your system, not the current system. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 19:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Sure yeah I agree people are crafty. what I would like you to do is maybe come up with a better solution I still argue that people considered as "minors" are being patronized and that out current age restrictions don't reflect the nuance there is.TH (talk) 19:44, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
No. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 19:46, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Meh.TH (talk) 20:38, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

@3friedeggs Don't enable trolls. You'll get it back when the block ends. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 23:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Meaningless and vague accusation towards him. Like I said I'm aware of your beef with him. If that was supposed to be a warning, you are not anymore of an authority here than I am.--3friedeggs (talk) 23:49, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
@3friedeggs There's literally no point in defending a liar and a troll. There's nothing gained by having him around. There's no point to your high horse, so get off it. His alt stays banned, he'll be unblocked after 3.6 days, and you'll get your mop back after an hour. Grand shit all around. Go back to playing KOTOR. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 23:52, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Vague and meaningless accusation. Quit the authorative high horse. You know you aren't allowed to desysop out of nowhere, and if I catch this behavior again it's going to ATIM.

@2friedeggs Done. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 00:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. I looked up the Andrew6 guy and all I see is a history of altercations with you and a couple others. I saw he was desysoped in 2021. I don't know why but it really, really doesn't matter to me.--2friedeggs (talk) 00:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
@2friedeggs Might want to look closer. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 00:54, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

@2friedeggs Constant tone policing, complaining about thread size rather than engaging in the content of discussions, jumping into discussions with halfbaked hot takes that he triples down on, openly dodging when asked whether he believes any of the shit he spouts, constantly defending Trump beyond reasonable limits, even when he's been demonstrated to be wrong, generally being a nuisance twatwaffle who whines and tries to weasel out of engagement. I'm an aggressive ass, but Jesus Christ, I'm at least honest. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 01:01, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Here it is. Even if the self-ban was crime-in-passion good on you for taking initiative. Maybe a break is all you need.--2friedeggs (talk) 04:50, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

2friedeggs, knock it off with your provocative trolling. The stupid shit you say sometimes just makes things worse. ShabiDOO 10:38, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Baseless accusation. Until you tell me exactly what I did I have no reason to believe I'm in the wrong. This is not the first time he acted like this and his ubiquity is not an excuse. Pointless name-calling is pointless. This site is dying for a reason.--2friedeggs (talk) 10:53, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I would like to propose the creation of a new article

We don't seem to currently have a page on ancient lost technology, such as the recipe for Damascus steel, which I find odd considering we have pages on plenty of individual examples. The world would be better able to sort the woo from the facts if we had one. Browsing the "Real Life" tab on the tvtropes page on this phenomenon, I've noticed several key differences between how this usually happens in fiction versus how it usually happens in the real world. For one, half the time it's simply because we figured out a better way of doing it (such as the breed of dog known as the turnspit being rendered obsolete by the electric motor), or it would otherwise simply not be that big a deal if rediscovered (such as Cuir-bouilli, a Medieval process by which leather could be hardened into rigid and solid 3D objects.
