the only way this gets more perfect is if feno wins div 2 now

This one hits really hard, man. On top of how ridiculously good he was at this dumb game we all play, yomps was one of the VERY few people in this community that you would just never hear a bad word about. He played the game with such joy and panache, and when things didn't go his way he never took it out on anyone. In a fairly insular online community, where a reputation can precede you for years and first impressions are everything, yomps was always capable of seeing the good in people. I never got to meet him in person at LAN, but every time I interacted with him he was absolutely lovely, full of curiousity about others and without a prejudiced bone in his body. I still remember how he randomly made me a mod in his chat, without me even asking for it, because he was entertained by my essay-length tf2 theorycrafting rants. Rest in peace, friend.

I don't want to overgeneralize, but sometimes it really seems like the people who have the most love for everyone else in their life don't make time to love themselves. As someone who has struggled with depression for the better part of my life, I know just how selfish this disease can be, and how it can convince even the most universally beloved person that he or she is completely alone. All I can say to anyone else out there going through some stuff is that nothing could be further from the truth. Let this thread be a lesson that, even in a trivial hobby like ours, we can all make an enormous impact on one another's lives. In ten, twenty, fifty years, I know that everyone here will still remember yomps the player, and yomps the person.

all of this couldve been avoided if there were 0 sandbagging rules in any division, pure chaos lets go

I don't know how you could possibly interpret that as shitting on you lol, the game had a server change and like 15 pauses, I wouldn't wanna watch it either

get off my dick friend

proud to be involved in a match with so many technical issues that tftv deleted the vod out of shame

unless he has a career ending injury this contract is a bargain

it's amazing that this game has been out for over 12 years and this is literally the first time someone has gone to the wrong last on gullywash

it's been much longer, this is a repost from gotfrag from prolly like 2009

yeah this is actually a really fun test case for why the scalia textualism thing has always just been a cover for reactionary bullshit, because the correct textual position in this case is to support the notion that title vii already has language to cover this, and yet 3/5 of the supposed strict constructionists were on the other side of the issue, with alito writing a 10 million page dissent about all the unforeseen applications of the law etc (which scalia also did all the time)

tl;dr all 9 judges are political actors and constitutional originalism/textualism are bullshit excuses

title vii previously banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin, but not sexual orientation or gender identity. the majority decision in this case found that sexual orientation and gender identity fell under the umbrella of discrimination on the basis of sex, and therefore title vii protections applied

so we KINDA had a law for this already but not exactly

not to be a debbie downer, since this is obviously great news, but I don't think people should make the mistake of thinking that this makes being fired on the basis of sexual orientation/gender identity impossible, it just offers more concrete legal recourse (which still requires the plaintiff to have enough time and resources to pursue, and also has enough of a burden of proof that only the dumbest employers will actually get caught having discriminated). what we REALLY need to do is start addressing at-will employment in this country.

still obviously good to get an unexpected win when we can get one (and 6-3 too) but I don't want people thinking it's no longer possible to discriminate against employees on the basis of race/sex/sexual orientation/gender identity!
