#148 Rip Tagg in Off Topic
Firelike i said b4 it doesnt matter whether its racist by definition, but do you really not understand that hearing "youre the same as person XYZ but in black" would make you feel bad ?
just like Jon said, it looks like being black is your best individual quality.

In order for me to feel bad about it, I'd have to commit the ridiculous act of taking this phrase seriously, which is again equivalent to John being offended for being called british Mustard.

#142 Rip Tagg in Off Topic
GentlemanJonDatDrummerGuyI understand the concern with the n-word, but how is "black ster" considered a slur?

I mean, I see it as a compliment, and calling a black guy "black" isn't racist, or pejorative. I think people associate things to racism too quickly.

Anyway, this escalated quickly.
Would you say that it credits Tagg with any individual quality beyond being black? Does it sound like he's just copying someone else (who is white) and brings nothing else to it other than being black? Can you think of any good reason why you wouldn't find out about Tagg's specific individual qualities instead of just overwriting them with those of a white person?

I wouldn't say it was the most hate filled sentiment I've ever heard, but obviously the speaker saw primarily the colour of the skin first and the person second. Sounds like a fairly straightforward definition of racism no?

That's as much racist as me calling you british Mustard

Yes but I found it unlikely because ppl in this thread have been applying this fallacious argument a lot about all kinds of people, so I fallaciously applied it to you.

Well it's the internet, all posts are shit

And u are making fallacious assumptions about his language because you don't agree with his argument.

manadailyYou seem to think I'm saying I blame tagg for all the racist things said to him? Not even close. I feel awful for him, but the truth that things could have been resolved sooner does not change. He doesn't have to do anything. I'm glad he did come out and call people out, but I'm suggesting that he would not have all this pent up anger had he dealt with the situations hes explaining about then and there. I'm not blaming a victim by any stretch of your crazy imagination.You seem to think that that would actually fix things...

This is victim blaming. I'm hesitant to even say that, but why is it acceptable that the responsibility is on tagg to do any of that? We shouldn't even be at this point. His safety was in question. That's not okay.
GentlemanJondailyI'm not blaming a victim by any stretch of your crazy imagination.So when you say that he's not "off the hook" for not reporting them, or muting them, or whatever immediately that doesn't suggest to you that he has done something wrong that he has responsibility for? Because that's what it sounds like to me.

The fuck is going on with you people? The guy said "if tagg had told the LAN's security gorillas that people were grabbing him and saying nigger they might have thrown them out" and that's all. What's all this crazy ranting about?

Also how the fuck was his safety in question? Lmao some nerdy kid grabbed his hair at a LAN which, as mentioned, has security. I don't understand what's even going on in this thread.

BeelthazusThis is something that needs to be talked about at the white list meeting. That meeting needs to be about more than just a white list

Yes I agree, there needs to be a black list too; anything else would be highly inappropriate!

#30 gofundme for my dogs surgery in Off Topic

I recommend you also post this somewhere bigger, like reddit. It doesn't even have to be r/tf2, I bet you could get some attention on dog and pet subreddits. Also, if you can take some better pictures of her, you can make a photo series and put it on imgur; they'll eat it right up.

Just take some really cute photos of her when she was healthy and playing around if you have them then one or two of her now and maybe even the x-ray photo if you have it. Put chunks of text in the middle explaining the situation. Then put your link at the end. If you frontpage, you'll probably have this covered very quickly.

And if it's not a privacy issue, you should probably post your paypal along with it everywhere, or if it is you can make a new one for this purpose. Paypal is probably the easiest way for most people to donate. Even if you have a CC, just entering all your details is a pain in the ass and most people don't like to give their names and addresses to strange websites.

Best of luck!

#12 If you were the average casual TF2 player in Videos

If you consider three of the most popular tf2 channels' videos "garbage", you probably don't take "the average casual TF2 player"'s opinion serious enough to produce content that they will enjoy.

#14 All Nighters in Off Topic

I was hiking in the woods near Marseille and I climbed up one of those calanque summits. I stayed up there until sunset for some spectacular photos so I had to climb down as it got dark. I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the middle of the forest with no real visible path. Then suddenly it got windy and cloudy and dark as shit. Could barely see my own feet. I used my camera and phone as flashlights for a bit but they both ran out really quickly.

So I was in the middle of the woods, miles away from the city and couldn't see anything, just trying to make my way downwards. Suddenly, I heard some rustling in the shrubs a bit further down. I kept walking in the direction a little but the rustling got louder, so I swerved left a bit. I could hear that something was still in that bush further down. Then the same noise started from a bush behind me, too. And just a little bit later, a third noise appeared further behind and further up, this one moving fast in sort of a half circle around me and the other two.

I was so freaked out that I went all tribal and picked up a big straight branch and slowly moved sideways in a defensive stance until I found a little low ground that was mostly enclosed by bushes, where I just stood and guarded the entrance for something like an hour. The noises didn't come closer but they didn't stop, and I could still hear the third one moving back and forth some distance away. Still couldn't see shit. After standing there forever, I decided to try and make a run for it, so I moved out and tried to get away sideways. But I had to approach the bush where the first noise was coming from. And as I got just a little bit closer, the bush snarled at me. I NOPEd the fuck out and went right back into my hidey-hole. I just stood there, branch up and next to a tree I hoped I could climb up quickly if necessary, while the noises started moving around my location again. Keeping this in mind, I was pretty scared.
I stood there on high alert for another several hours with the rustling still moving circles around me, until it finally seemed to be moving away. I could still hear it thought and occasionally it seemed to approach again and move back away. Eventually, I allowed myself to sit down, still holding gandalf's staff, but sleeping wasn't an option. It was also cold and super windy, and I was sitting on roots and rocks and it was uncomfy as fuck. The night felt fucking eternal and at some point when I thought it was maybe 4am now, the clouds went away for a second and the moon was still high up. It sucked major ass.

In the morning, I was so wasted that by the time there was any light, I was like fuck it, and decided to just roll out with my branch and go caveman on their asses if they were still there, whatever they were. But the noises had already moved far away before and when I got to the bush, there was nothing there and I peacefully made my way back to the city and my hostel room, where I collapsed on my bed and slept all day.

The card with the sunset photos has since been lost.

Screwballthe301stspartanSrsly though fuck ur attitude,You are the own who claimed you tell me "you can't read, it clearly states on this page" then base your argument on what you think could be the hardware, based on what the thing looks like, because it actually doesn't clearly state shit on the page.Logical conclusions based upon available evidence? It clearly says M on the GPU and the total lack of ventilation means that a desktop CPU in that system would be totally illogical.

Also you are the one who said i contradicted the written specs and claimed i couldn't read.the301stspartanWhy is everyone who is shittalking this product literally contradicting the written specs? Can't u read?Maybe you should learn about things before you talk about them.

Dude it's not my fault if you consider yourself a shit-talker. I was never even referring to you. But then u take up the gauntlet and claim "I think it's you who can't read, read this website, it proves my post", but it doesn't prove your post, because the fact that it uses an M-GPU is totally irrelevant to the CPU question. If there was enough space it could have any combination of desktop and laptop CPU and GPU. Your argument that there's no space and ventilation for a desktop CPU is the only one that makes sense and it has nothing to do with the website, unless you wanted me to "read" it to find out that the surface is thin.

laptop CPUIt clearly states that it will be using laptop parts.WOW that was fucking hard.
The M means MOBILE :O
Considering it is clearly using a mobile GPU it is probably also using a mobile variant of the i5/7.

Truly amazing reading skills coupled with infallible logic. Aristotle himself couldn't have constructed such a formally coherent proof.

Srsly though fuck ur attitude, you tell me "you can't read, it clearly states on this page" then base your argument on what you think could be the hardware, based on what the thing looks like, because it actually doesn't clearly state shit on the page and you don't have the balls to admit that u misread and confused the mobile GPU for mobile CPU.

It clearly states that it will be using laptop parts. Small form factors are prone to thermal throttling issues. Something Apple's similar iMac suffers from.

Please, enlighten me with your superior reading skills and tell me where this "clearly states it will be using laptop parts"
