Samuels 1st MRB

Player banned for 1 week due to teamkilling

After checking the logs, it appears that this interaction occurred, and then resumed for some reason some time later in the night.  With only logs, there is little to go off to understand why after seemingly the incident passed, that it would continue.  

Nevertheless a 1/2 day ban has been put in place expiring tomorrow.

Player has been banned permanently for aim-bot

Player will have a 1 day timeout

Player will have a 1 day timeout

Amazing read as always. 

Also makes sense to me why Wright was talking about BBQ last night as well!

Your infractions on our server date back over 10 years at this time.  With respect to the language issues, and repeated mute/gags given your continued failure to follow simple instructions; instructions which have been given to you multiple times over several years, and clear evidence that you are unable to follow such instructions, the current restrictions on your VOIP will remain in place.  You are fortunate that this matter has not been reverted back to a permanent ban given this consistent inability to follow server rules. 

Request Denied.

Hi Gouge,

are you getting a specific crash error or crash log when this happens? Is it a crash to desktop with nothing else? Or does your computer freeze up on load and you need to hard reset?

In the past, there have been issues with dx12, if that’s on try disabling and playing in Windows rather than full screen (assuming you have nvidia)

I think the first step is figuring out that.  I’ll try to keep an eye on the thread but being out of the country may limit my time to respond and help

What is your steam name so I can find the applicable ban?

I will also move this topic to our MP Office.

So after reading AB2223 which was referenced, and looking back into infantcide (a/k/a post-birth abortions), this is already federally banned within all states via the Partial Abortion Ban of 2003, and was upheld by the then SCOTUS.

The California proposed bill also does little more than remove reporting obligations for coroners on 2nd trimester abortions where performed by a medical professional.  My reading would be it’s still reported by a corner and the steps that are previously in place stand if done illegally.

That bill also assigns liability to government actors who try and infringe upon the right of someone to seek a legal abortion under the state.

I believe infantcide is generally illegal in most countries in the world, and in the US, despite criminal law being regulated at the state level, there is a difficult argument to be asserted that once born, outside the womb, that person/infant/baby/fetus is alive (absent of course exceptions and medical conditions, I.e stillbirth/born, etc), and any such would be treated the same as a person.

Name: Draf

Love the reads everyone! Always look forward to what you all put out!

Sadly America has become increasingly tribalized since 2008 when Obama was first elected or 2012 after his reelection. 

Trump's brand of, well whatever you call it, awakened a part of this country that had been shoved off to either end of the political spectrum, and with cancel culture and everything else going on, if you don't agree with one side or the other, you're branded a racist, sexist, transphobe, etc depending on the topic at issue.

I think where people tend to get turned off on the entire issues is using it solely as a form of "birth control" or "contraceptive."   And while I still stand by my own belief that its a person's choice what they do with their body, I think that what Roe had provided for was at least a template and middle ground to try and satisfy both sides.  Roe/Casey at least allowed there to be some point where those who wish to protect a fetus have their way, while allowing women still to have a predominant say in their bodily autonomy.

Had the Court revised the viability test from Roe/Casey rather than chucked it out the window in the name of morality, I think it would be a slightly different conversation that everyone is having (albeit that people would be unhappy regardless).

I think this all boils back down to what is meant to be a separation of church and state within America.

yes, the founders were religious people but they intended for the government they founded to be guided by governing without forcing their personal beliefs on others.  Hence the freedoms contained within the First Amendment and later implied via substantive due process with the 5th and 14th (federal and state).

The problem now is not that people have differing opinions on issues, it’s that discussion and debate has become so polarized and politicized that no one can have a discussion with opposing viewpoints without wanting to slug the person they disagree with.

We all have different opinions on this topic and many others.  However, none of us are women.  It is fundamental that we are not the ones who are predominantly or directly affected by this change.  Moreover, who are we to say what should be done to a woman’s body.  
 

This is exactly what anti-vaxers were screaming about last year, but now are quiet because it’s not effecting them, it’s only directed at women.

At the end of the day, this is one of the topics where an opinion and beliefs can be had, but they should not be forced upon others.

Let’s chat on discord later because I have a whole bunch of thoughts about this that I don’t have time to put into words (at this very second).  
 

Before getting into it too much, I am 100% pro-choice and think this is a disastrous and downright shameful ruling, even when it was leaked a few weeks/months back.  What concerns me now is Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion using this as a basis to revisit SCOTUS’s important individual privacy rights under substantive due process from  Obergfell (gay marriage), Lawrence (privacy within home), and Griswold (contraceptives) might fuck over what feels like 80%+ of Americans.

From a scholarly position purely (given my profession), as much as I disagree on a fundamental basis with the holding I am astounded how Justice Alito wrote the opinion when Chief Justice Robert’s opinion did the same thing but without inflaming half the country.

I agree that this is a dangerous precedent that was set and now things may be set in motion going forward that will forever ensure deadlock on a variety of issues given that the US government has become so partisan into a branch that’s sole purpose was to remain unaffected by petty politics and focus on the words and meaning of the laws only.

I hope that this poor decision gets overturned soon or that Congress gets it’s head out of its ass and codify Roe/Casey into law to get around this.

Hi Bischhock,

I added you on steam, feel free to reach out to me whenever either on Steam or Discord.

Lets get back into the groove!

This should help get the chicken smell out

Hello T3| DASAIN,

I have reviewed the logs from the session where you were banned, which was for excessive Teamkilling (-9 score).  The present ban is instituted for 1 week and given your explanation I will reduce the length of the ban, but it will still be in effect for a few days. 

Please keep in mind that the next time the duration of the ban will not be amended. Once the present ban expires you are more than welcome to rejoin the server.

Capt. J. Samuels
