#48 May I ask talk about the current pandemic? in World Events
Tholehonestly, every single mainstream media source and instagram infographic telling me i have to get the vaccine and i am not allowed to question it makes me extremely skeptical. vaccine companies being completely immune from any kind of legal prosecution for damages also makes me extremely skeptical. i got the vaccine because i just want to go to out in public and i dont really care if it has negative health consequences down the line but i do not even remotely judge people who refuse to get it, and i think its really creepy how everyone is doing a strange cultural witch hunt against skeptical people who do not hold other anti-vaxxer beliefs.

I don't blame you for not trusting in american mainstream media, but almost every other country on earth will tell you the same. It's the scientific consensus and it's in most peoples best interest to halt the pandemic so things can return to normal.

The potential long term damage of these vaccines (that have never been proven in practice or theory) are outweighed by the benefit. People have long-term covid symptoms. There are people whose lungs are fucked up. For gods sake, your country has 620k DEATHS bc of covid. That number would have been a lot higher than it currently is if there were no available vaccines.

#46 May I ask talk about the current pandemic? in World Events
Dave_the_IrateHow many countries in the Western world have been trending towards more liberty in recent years and how many towards more government intervention, surveillance or authoritarianism? Not to mention those handful of 'private companies' all based within a few miles of each other who can vaporise your entire online presence on a whim should they choose.

Silicon valley tech companies are not the Finnish government nor are they any other government. Silicon Valley lobbyists succeeding to get rid of data protection laws are also not an action of any government.

Dave_the_IrateIt's extremely naive to suggest that just because we are currently in a better situation than China or the Soviet Union that our current governments would be unable or unwilling to claim greater authority if given the opportunity. Even if you agree with all the various pandemic restrictions over the last year, it should be somewhat concerning that so many governments have been able to remove such fundamental civil liberties from their citizens, in most cases with absolutely no mandate. It's a bit of a cliche at this point, but the Patriot Act is a good example of how a government can use a perceived crisis to gain more authority, and how subsequent administrations won't necessarily be inclined to relinquish it.

Lockdowns in and of themselves are not a symptom of governments trying to "grab too much power".
When Viktor Orban wants indefinate control of his country to "deal with covid" isn't the fucking same as having a fucking mask mandate.
The US expanding it's surveillance state under the guise of "counter-terrorism" is not equivalent of covid lockdowns.

Just because there's a theoretical possibility of a government grabbing power due to a societal instability doesn't mean literally every action they take is a precursor or symptom of them doing it.

Based on you calling it a 'perceived crisis' I take it you actually don't believe it is a crisis?????

I am in no way "naive" for not distrusting scientifically proven countermeasures to pandemics, but I'm in fact very skeptical to government surveillance, tech oligopolies, and countries becoming authoritarian, but as I explained that stuff doesn't just randomly happen.

#43 May I ask talk about the current pandemic? in World Events
PuoskariBut I'm most likely in the wrong here. I guess we just take the bet and trust our governments. I know the current technology is so useful and has great potential for good but also bad. Many people(me included) are pretty clued to these screens, constant stimulation, entertainment and worse yet, TF2. Not that people many think that much about these things. The circumstances are pretty ideal for power hungry governments to slowly plan something behind us, if so desired. Development into a totalitarian society doesn't happen overnight. Step by step.

I'm gonna put it bluntly, your interpretation is based on a too generalized idea of how governments function, misinformation about vaccines, and a poor understanding of how countries develop authoritarian tendancies. I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on any of these points and others have already pointed out the vaccine stuff. However the highlighted sentance in the quote perfectly illustrates this - honestly it reads like something a teen wrote 1 week after becoming an ancap.

"Governments" of different political leanings don't just develop authoritarian tendancies randomly. If you look at how actual totalitarian & authoritarian states developed, like how it happened in Nazi germany, China, or other countries it's often premeditated, often involving coercion at gunpoint or introductions of new laws that infringe rights. Look at Hungary, and how Viktor Orbán used the current pandemic to make powergrabs. Is that really analogous in any way to banning mass social gatherings, having lockdowns/mask mandates etc? You are just placing an unreasonable amount of criticism and behind it is due to your (apparent) fundamental belief that "governments are evil", which they certainly can be but like people governments can do bad and good things.

It's insanely irrational to, based on a ramble about how china is a totalitarian state, develop trust issues with every single other government on the earth (and most distrusting toward scientifically proven countermeasures to covid?)

#47 included middle ban in TF2 General Discussion

really confused how the admins reached this decision. even if you believe this behaviour should be bannable why is it justified post-hoc? at least warn the player and then make an announcement for a new rule.

while we're on the topic, why are players still allowed to be douchebags and get away with only team warnings? you can deliberately abuse class limits, pauses, and game exploits like the uber building bug with the sole purpose of being a dick. maybe the 'toxicity & racism' part of that equation has changed recently which is good, but why nothing else

dannyand I said that as an obvious joke and even told him not to in panic when I realised he would actually do it, since it seemed so far fetched to me that someone would actually throw away a much needed win like that on purpose

bro if u wanna win THAT BADLY just play the game don't make dumb and condescending comments to your team

#28 Petition To Ban Cheaters From Posting On TFTV in TF2 General Discussion
fenomenoIt's crazy how a few people like to speak for what the whole community likes/dislikes. The arrogance of some of you, and its funny cause yall try to hide your arrogance with a guise of this weird morality gatekeeping

At least Im upfront with my arrogance, yall some fake hoes

On a more concerning point, imagine living in a society where mob rule decides your fate. A lot of us wouldve been killed by the smallest of transgressions

Thats what carter and grapejuice are advocating for, they are either mad or working for the interest of RGL

Thank god there is rule of law on this site, god bless the liberty I have just from signing up on this website.

Say no to RGLs tyranny bleeding over to this site

#49 ban iron bomber and market gardener for s39 in TF2 General Discussion

Didn't someone make a plugin that made the iron bomber projectile hitbox the same as default? Or am I confusing it with something else?

DCSOverall it is a fairly situational weapon and if someone puts in the extra time, effort to learn to use it properly and take the risk of failing ingame, then they should be rewarded when it works.
Being a medic main myself, I get that it can be frustrating to play against a good MG-soldier, but it being unfun for me shouldn't be a reason to ban a weapon.

Also, scouts still exist.

It's still a dumb 1-hit gimmick... I don't think "Just play better as a team" should be reason to keep a stupid mechanic in the game. If a mg solly gets enough speed there are many cases where it is impossible to dodge, even with a scout shooting them.

#25 How would you buff the spy? in TF2 General Discussion
dishsoaphttps://www.teamfortress.com/spyupdate/

Doesn't explain why it's good for the game, nor does that counter my argument as to it's not what spy should be.

Valve added lots of unlocks to deal with the "weaknesses" of a class that actually make the game worse, like original GRU. The original design philosophy of spy clearly does not intend him to be a marksman capable of damage at long range.

funhaver1998that shit barely ever happened and if it did it was the most impressive thing that you could do in the game. ive never once felt that dying to that was OP and i was always impressed if i was headshot by that thing, and this is coming from someone who has like 20hrs of spy in the past like 8 years.

Firstly did you even play competitive pre-nerf? Secondly it's not necessarily OP it's just that it's dumb and the niche it fills shouldn't exist for spy.
