This might be the worst thread of the month. If not the past 6 months. then make it better. Would need to topic ban almost all of its participants to achieve that. not what I meant, but I guess it was hard to infer without really any context.

If you are looking for a point might need to step outside a video game forum.
I recommend CNN comments they are amazing. Yahoo comments are the best.

It is sorta like going to bodybuilding forums and trying
to avoid trolls. It is impossible.
Know what type of people use the forum and set your expectations so low that you aren't disappointed.

They have a term there called you've been Yahoo'd. It's when you click a story about a picture or a video and there's none there. All the comments say something like, "Where's the picture?"
The response, "You've just been Yahoo'd"

Rule is when it doubt blame men. But real feminists are never in doubt. Reminds me of a famous quote:

Ok let's get serious and tackle this issue that's presented in this story.
Quote: The new study blames an unusual "dipole," a combination of a strong Western high pressure ridge and deep Great Lakes low pressure trough. That dipole is linked to a recently found precursor to El Nino, the world-weather changing phenomenon. And that precursor itself seems amplified by a build-up of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, the study says.
It's like a complex game of weather dominos that starts with cold water off China and ends with a devastating drought and memorable winter in the United States, said study author Simon Wang, a Utah State University climate scientist.
Wang was looking at colder water off China as a precursor to an El Nino. The colder water there triggers westerly winds in the tropical Pacific. Those westerly winds persist for several months and eventually push warmed up water and air to the central Pacific where an El Nino forms, Wang said.
An El Nino is a warming of the central Pacific once every few years, from a combination of wind and waves in the tropics. It shakes up climate around the world, changing rain and temperature patterns. Wang saw the precursors and weather event coming months before federal weather officials issued an official El Nino watch last month.
Then Wang noticed the connection between that precursor — cold water off China, Vietnam and Taiwan — and the recent wild winter. He tracked similar combinations of highs and lows in North America. And he found those combination extremes are getting stronger.
Wang based his study, soon to be published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, on computer simulations, physics and historical data. It is not as detailed and doesn't involve numerous computer model simulations as more formal attribution studies. Still, Wang said his is a proper connection.

Here's a good one from today.
Quote: Over the past two years, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has repeatedly wrestled with factions of his own party as he tries to bring traditionally uncontroversial bills to the floor, only to see a legislative war break out between tea party hard-liners and old-guard conservatives. But Cantor is currently prepping a bill that will incite a different kind of floor fight -- this time among Democrats.
It's supposed to be the kind of procedural bill that wouldn't raise hackles, even during an election year. The House Agriculture Committee cleared it by a voice vote, not even bothering to record the yeas and nays. Many of its major provisions have already passed the House with dozens -- in some cases, hundreds -- of Democratic votes.
But Cantor's legislative package is now packed with deregulation items long sought by Wall Street banks that would roll back key sections of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law related to derivatives -- the complex contracts at the heart of the 2008 economic meltdown. And as a result, the bill is at the center of a national struggle over the direction of the Democratic Party's economic policy platform -- how hard it will fight to preserve its 2010 Wall Street overhaul, and how a lengthy intra-party wrestling match over Wall Street campaign funds will be resolved.
In a bitter irony for Democrats, two of the people who stand to gain the most from the fracas are none other than Charles and David Koch, the Republican billionaires who have tapped one of the world's largest fortunes to cut down Democrats in elections and fuel conservative reforms. According to a lobbying disclosure form, lobbyists for the Koch empire have pushed for four of the most controversial deregulation provisions in Cantor's latest endeavor.

This might be the worst thread of the month. If not the past 6 months.
Don't worry we are sorely lacking a global warming / gay fascism thread. OK so I looked long and hard and found this. Granted it's about infidelity and global warming. But the source is from a place called the 'GayPatriot.' Enjoy.
Quote: A new report blames global warming for rising rates of infidelity, especially bad news for couples in Miami, where rising tides and raging hurricanes remind us all how much extracurricular sex we could be having on a daily basis.
Victoria Milan, a dating website for people looking to cheat on their significant other, surveyed 5,000 of its members, both men and women. A shocking 72% of them responded that yes, their own Al Gore-esque stress about unpredictable weather is the cause of their extra-marital dalliances. Guess the fact of their existing committed relationships was just an inconvenient truth.
Survey respondents also reported that they’re more likely to sneak a little on the side in hot weather than in cold. Source

Here's one that will hopefully clear up some confussion.
Quote: ***-shaming is something all women deal with, whether in the form of criticism for the way they dress or being made to feel bad about their romantic and sexual choices.
But a new study published in the June issue of Social Psychology Quarterly has revealed that when a particular group of women call each other "***," it has little to do with perceived or actual promiscuity, and everything to do with social class.
Solciology researchers Elizabeth A. Armstrong and Laura Hamilton spent five years interviewing a group of 53 white female undergraduates as they went through their college careers at a Midwestern university. They found that the women who came from upper-class or upper-middle-class backgrounds -- a group they referred to as the "affluent" students -- used the term "***" differently than the "less affluent" women from working-class, lower-middle or middle-class families.
Armstrong told The Huffington Post that for both groups, the term "***" had relatively little to do with a woman's sexual experience or activities.
"The more affluent women tended to make a distinction between being 'classy' and 'trashy,' and that was very much about appearance" -- for example, "having the money to have fancy clothes, the right hairstyle, the right tan, handbags [and] jewelry," Armstrong told HuffPost. "If you looked 'classy,' you wouldn't be seen as a ***. You couldn't be 'trashy' if you looked right." ***-Shaming Is More About Class Than Sexual Activity, Study Finds

The 20 Most Annoying Habits of 20-Something Guys, According to Girls
Quote: I try to be a fairly “chill” girl. If you cancel on me for dinner because your dog got eaten by a bear, I get that. On the other hand, if you’re late to dinner because you caught the tail-end of SportsCenter’s “Top 10,” well that’s just friggin’ annoying. Of course that would only happen once because I’d immediately withhold sex privileges for a week, but the rest of this list? It all happens so often that I might as well put on a chastity belt and throw away the key.
20. Not knowing how to use an iron.
No, your wrinkled clothes do not make you look whimsical, artistic, or laid-back. You look like you don’t live with your mother anymore, and it’s not going so well. Christ, just throw your shirt in the dryer for like 5 minutes so I don’t look like I’m walking around with a raisin. Is that so hard?
19. Staring above your date’s head to check the score.
Seriously? Use one of your seven electronic devices to check the score (but not really, but that’s annoying as ***-all too). Don’t stare at the screen above my head when I’m telling you where I’m from, just wait until I leave the bar. Which, luckily for me, will be soon since you apparently can’t manage to survive sans ESPN for two hours of your evening.
18. Thinking that every girl, ever, in the entire universe, is trying to date you.
I asked you what you like to do for fun, not if you were eligible for a long, meaningful romantic relationship. Don’t flatter yourself. Stop assuming that every girl wants your ***. Girls aren’t automatically interested in you because you’re a good-looking dude. When you assume they are, congratulations!
17. Leaving the seat up.
I can’t believe I’m even writing this one. Put the seat down after you take a piss in my bathroom. If you don’t, kindly exit my apartment for the rest of eternity.
16. Including the 3 following photos, in order, on your Tinder:
You and your FAM: How holistic, except your tagline says “World Renowned Poon-tang Slayer 2011.” You’re not fooling anyone above a 6.
You and your cute DOG. Is it even yours? Or did you grab a stranger’s dog and say, “I need to look like a cute, fun-loving guy on Tinder! Thanks a million!”
You at the beach with your MUSCLES. Do you have friends that you hang out with in the summer? Or do you just prance about with an oiled-up bod? Is that even a beach? Wait, are you in your living room?
15. Catching a girl’s eye and then not asking for her number.
Just man up and do it, because furiously swiping your way through Tinder to see if I happen to be on it is pussy ***. Give that real-life dating thing a try, it’s not that scary once you get past the whole human interaction aspect.
14. Not walking me home.
Look, I realize I’m an empowered female in 2014, but walk me home. Not only is it the right thing to do, but if I wind up dead in a ditch somewhere you’ll have been the last person to see me, aka suspect #1. So you’re really just saving your own *** here.
13. Thinking your pseudo-alcoholic tendencies make you a “fun-loving” guy.
Drinking 4-6 beers a night is not normal, nor does it make you “super chill.” It makes you a lazy-*** alcoholic.
12. Saying you prefer girls who wear “NO MAKE-UP AT ALL. EVER.”
What the hell do you know about make-up? Do you wear it? I’ll do whatever I goddamn please with my face. Unfortunately for you, your eyes are just dull and simply cannot be helped by mascara. Bummer.
11. Calling your mom. Every. Single. Day.
Yeah. So I’m obviously talking to the wrong men, but guys do this more than you might think. Just because you’re in the other room speaking in hushed tones doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re asking your mom how much detergent you should put in your load of laundry.
10. Rating girls.
This is foul in so many ways. I’m a friggin’ 10 in my book, and I’m looking for a guy who feels the same way. I really, really, REALLY, don’t give a ***about your rating. Fun fact: I’ve noticed a negative correlation between guys who rate girls and guys who get laid. Just saying.
9. Pretending that you don’t care about anything involving human emotions.
You and your girlfriend just broke up and you’re totally fine? You haven’t cried yourself to sleep every night this past week and sent her texts on texts on texts about how “I SWEAR TO YOU, I got chlamydia from a toilet seat, you’re the only one for me babe”? Yeah, buddy, stop doing that. You’re a human being, and it’s nicer when you’re real with other human beings.
8. Saying you just don’t have TIME to date someone right now.
Um, you seem to have had a lot of time between the hours of 9:00 and 2:00 in the morning lately. But no, no, I get it. You can’t be troubled to get to know a girl in a meaningful way. It’s exhausting and just such a burden!
7. Not sleeping over.
I just recently dated a guy who “liked to sleep in his own bed,” even though he considered himself to be my boyfriend. He would come, ***, and then leave. When I told him that I wasn’t a “wham-bam-thank you m’am” type of girl, he looked at me like I had two heads. Stay over.
6. Pretending that you’re super confident all the time.
Having sex with a robot is cold, hard, and overall unpleasant, so don’t act like one.
5. Playing video games several hours a day.
You’re in your 20s, not your teens. No, I’m not bringing you a beer so you don’t have to interrupt your gaming. Do I look like a ***’ waiter? You’re not scoring ladies every time you gain 75 lives in your computer-animated universe. You may be getting lives, but those lives are just as real as the one you obviously don’t have.
4. Not dancing when you’re out.
Please dance. You hovering there with a drink and creepy smile does not make me feel intrigued by your pervert-inspired aloof nature. It makes me want to call the police.
3. Not asking me questions.
Yes, I realize that your new start-up (or music career) is really taking off and that you’re the most innovative thing to happen on planet earth, but could you ask me something about my life? Like what I’m doing wasting it talking to you?
2. Saying you’re “a laid-back guy” on your dating profile.
I generally think laid-back people don’t have to make a point of saying it. Just a thought.
1. Obsessively keeping your options open.
Don’t overlook an awesome girl because you have some preconceived notion about getting your rocks off in your twenties before settling down to have a nice family in your early thirties. A cool girl might be staring you right in the face and all you’re thinking is, “Ohhhhh no! I’m too young to meet someone I actually like and care about! ***!” Sad lives for sad people.
