This is the locked thread it devolved into a complete shit show, which I admit I willingly participated in and definitely deserved to be locked.





This is a big misunderstanding. I quoted this:

AlphaStar said:
You wanna spread fear and hate and other piece of shit attributes.

Go fucking elsewhere.




Quote:

AlphaStar said:

You have continually posted hateful bullshit.

Get the FUCK out of here.





Exactly my thought.








...right after permabanning him for the exact behaviors in the quote, as a puppet on a rampage. So, with "exactly my thought" I meant him, banned for the exact reasons he stated.

My apologies that this wasn't very apparent, but basically AlphaStar was on a rampage of stirring shit and his suggestion of getting the fuck out of here struck me as the solution.

I then closed the thread, as it was based entirely on the rampage that defined his membership.

It was just, stirring shit because he could.


So, my apologies if you felt slighted but I think knowing how I meant it and what action was taken that you have understanding that keyboard cat played him off, and wasn't a criticism of any talking point of any other member.

He was stirring shit and people stepped in it, instead of it leading to sanctions because of having been trolled by him, I nuked it :strangelove:








Quote:

The billionaire thing, just because a thing can be done better does not mean it deserves criticism.




Criticism isn't deadly, and I was just saying "he couldve helped way more people for decades on end if he had turned all that money into  self propelled charity who invests to give away.

Its a wonderful thing he did but it could have been so much better.

Where it's coming from?

He gave his money to cheritable causes near the end of his life. I gave my money to charitable causes near the middle of my life. On retrospect I realized I could have done so much more by investing it towards charitable causes more wisely, and the same applies to him.
Spoken from one person who gave away his life savings to charitable causes to another.
He and I both are in that club. If you wish to join us, do it more wisely than we did, for the sake of the very charitable causes you choose to support.

A matter of more bang for your buck :boom:

LOL, my bad, I completely misunderstood that thread lock then.  Apologies, I knew you were a good guy.  I'm in a decent financial position but mostly donate to local charities that will have an immediate effect in the are I live in.  In I think, May the government gave everyone 1200 dollars, a stimulus to help the economy due to the number of unemployed.  I donated it all to a food bank that is quite literally down the road about 3 blocks from me.  Last donation, I dog sat at my friends place (One is Pharmacist, the other A surgical Obstetrician who is the head of an ED at a local hospital).  They gave me a check for 200 wich I originally had no intention of cashing, then had the brilliant idea, I deposited and that same day made a 200 donation to women's shelter on the same block as her hospital in her name.

That's what I'm capable of, and can do as well as buy as locally as possible to promote my community which is an area that is pretty poor and majority POC.

No problem at all, it was my communication surrounding the thread lock that was opaque, I could have been clearer. Not everybody keeps tabs on the ban list :smile:

I didn't even no one existed, thought I had to look at each user profile :rofl: which is way too much work for me.

Yeah I found it, seems like a lot of work, deciding a ban, and then deciding the length.  I'll try to stay off the radar :lol:

A large percentage of billionaires give away most thier money. You people just don't give a fuck about that. I feel like it would have even been a major problem to hand out that much money for the guy and not get scammed n stuff. Great job u win again society.

This 89-Year-Old Billionaire Finally Achieved His Goal of Going Broke After Years of Secret Donations





Admirable as that may be, he could have done better still.

Said as one good guy to the other.

With that money he could have created a self perpetuating charity that lived on long beyond his years, every year donating to causes he held dear.

Nobel created the Nobel Prize, a long lasting self perpetuating organization that earns its own money and does its beneficial works through that.

He could have done that for charity, for the causes he believes in.

He could have just put 2 billion into the equivalents of the S&P 500's of the major powers of the world each, and the advance of humanity would be payout for his charitable work.

Thats more intelligent use of the capital than just spending it all. It would pump money from the stock exchange directly into the charitable causes perpetually, while helping both.



I had went on a trip one time and met this person. Thier trip was paid for as sort of a gap year through one the more prestigious scholarships. I forget the name of it but I remember the man had made millions thru a pharmaceutical break thru im the turn the last century and had set up a 200 million dollar trust for the scholarship program. I remember thinking what a powerful thing it was that nearly 100 year ago at the time this man's legacy seemed to be still creating such a profound positive impact on the world that it kinda blew my mind in a sense.

Think Elon Musk has it right.  Have all the money and power in the world and just wants to go to Mars and probably will.  This world is shit and he knows it.

Backing it up by selling all his mansions and he says because it makes him a target.  Yeah well, get his vibe.  That level of being and countenance is very impressive.  Think he knows what is on its way.

Well rip out a giant fucking toilet and smash it through a wall and escape.  That is an epic scene.  I have been to psych wards, thank god it was before lobatamy. 

And people in drug rehabs that don't have an addiction but a lawyer told them they could  go there instead of county jail.  I get it. 

You might not like Elon Musk but he is not stupid.  Think it is going to be rough on earth in the near future.
