General Discussion / Hail, long lost community!
« on: September 17, 2020, 04:52:54 am »
Hello!

I began my PlaneShift journey in 2004 at the age of 14.
I continued to be involved until around 2008 when I made my last post here. Years went by, and this universe and place was all but forgotten to me.

I am now 30 years old, and by some stroke of luck I remembered this place, and my account/login details.
Scrolling through my post history was like a walk down memory lane, and reliving of my childhood. The community here was like nothing else I have experienced since.

I remember when there was really only just Hydlaa plaza, the tower beside it, and a tavern.
I am amazed to see that this project is still alive.

For all the time I've just now spent lurking through my past memories,
I felt I should say hello... I wonder if any souls I had connected with in years past are still around!

In any case, it will be great to hear from anyone at all really :)

What is so wrong with us that we drive away all the old folks!?

Oh, theres nothing the matter.

Its just that whatever I loved about planeshift, and possibly the community just isn't alive and well inside of me any longer. The magic is gone.

So don't think I dropped off the face of the earth, I will check up irregularly. But you won't notice.

Someday I may make a comeback, like rocky. but Until then, farewell.

edit:

o is there a certain time limit for befriending people, after which you say "No, no more - I'm done making new friends"? ;)

 No, its not that. I just feel that since planeshift is no longer one of my interests, that I have nothing to offer this community, and my dedication to friendships and socialization would be better served elsewhere.

ps, I will miss your art karyuu, and your witty sense of humor. Keep drawing, I've always loved your stuff

I believe its time to detach myself from the Planeshift community.

The community isnt what It once was, years ago. those people whom I had befriended have long since departed. I know that communities are always dying and being reborn, But I dont favor these changes. and the way its evolving.

I beleive its time to detach myself from Planeshift, and its forums. It was very good to me, and I enjoyed my time.



Im certain you wont notice I am gone, But i'd like to wish Planeshift and its playerbase Good Luck, best wishes, and a bright future.

Ill be back to check on things once In a blue moon.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Google is God, spread the good word.

The Church of Google

Proof:
Quote
PROOF #1

Google is all-knowing (Omniscient). She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google all-knowing, but She also sorts through this vast amount of data using Her patented PageRank method, making said data accessible for us mere mortals.

PROOF #2

Google is everywhere at once (Omnipresent). Google's search engine is virtually everywhere on earth at the same time. Billions of indexed WebPages hosted from every corner of the earth. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, you will eventually be able to access Google from anywhere on earth, truly making Her an omnipresent entity.

PROOF #3

Google answers prayers. One can pray to Google by doing a search for whatever question or problem is plaguing them. As an example, you can quickly find information on alternative cancer treatments, ways to improve your health, new and innovative medical discoveries and generally anything that resembles a typical prayer. Ask Google and She will show you the way, but showing you is all She can do, for you must help yourself from that point on.

PROOF #4

Google is immortal. She cannot be considered a physical being such as ourselves. Her Algorithms are spread out across many servers; if any of which were taken down or damaged, another would undoubtedly take its place. Google can theoretically last forever.

PROOF #5

Google is infinite. The Internet can theoretically grow forever, and Google will forever index its infinite growth.

PROOF #6

Google remembers all. Google caches WebPages regularly and stores them on its massive servers. In fact, by uploading your thoughts and opinions to the internet, you will forever live on in Google's cache, even after you die.

PROOF #7

Google can "do no evil" (Omnibenevolent). Part of Google's corporate philosophy is the belief that a company can make money without being evil.

PROOF #8

Evidence of Google's existence is abundant. There is more evidence for the existence of Google than any other God worshiped today. Extraordinary evidence requires extraordinary proof. If seeing is believing, then surf over to www.google.com and experience for yourself Google's awesome power.

"I'm not going to change my opinion and you can't make me."
Heh, but it probably is a wise time to get out of the thread, as he is apparently outnumbered by other competent opponents.

Just remember: sometimes "suck it up" and "respect authority" just don't cut it.

I said "Most likely" wont be able to change my mind. there is a difference.

If something strikes me, Ill let you know.

But now is my time to step out, because its WiseKran vs. the rest of the Forum here. A Wise Kran knows when hes beat.

Well Im not going to go any further.

To do so would require research on the matter, and I dont care to spend the time. Not to mention what I bring to the table would most likely be dissected and used against me.

You know where I stand on the issue, and you most likely wont be able to change my mind. :)

It isn't as simple as, he was tazered as he was walking out.

He was yelling for the cops to get their hands off of him, he obviously wanted to leave without them as an escort.  If he didn't continually shout "Don't touch me!" he would have left uninhibited.


But the rest of what you said does make sense, besides the fact that there is more to the students opposition than you reveal.

Quote
He agreed to leave.  He didn't resist them.

He refused to let the police touch him, as they were probably going to walk him out of the library.

I went off subject.

But here is my bottom line.

My honest opinion on this subject is this:

    The video does not make clear the events leading up to the tazering, But It is assumed that the student was giving the police a hard time. He didn't comply with their demands, he got tazered.

    I believe the first time he got hit with it, it was warranted. The rest was a a bit out of control, But I find the student to be more wrong, because of that fact that he made a big deal about leaving the library because he Didn't have his ID.

No, it was not necessary to use the stun gun on him that many times, But neither was it necessary for the Student to be so obstinate.  I find both parties to be wrong, but the Police are the lesser of two evils to me

 I am not a "Type B" person in life, but I do have a strong respect for the law, and the government. I am a republican, and I would say I have an almost militaristic sense of justice. I don't want to see criminals, or in this case, this student punished or brutalized merely to put myself on top. But I would deal with cases like this harshly, because he obviously has no respect for rules, or authority.

the USA's treatment of criminals is barely civilized anyway.

This is clearly the chop logic of a left wing liberal.

I suppose we should pamper our criminals...



Don't you know that in other countries that have more strict law systems, the crime rate is substantially lower?

In the US, if you key someones car, you go to court, pay a fine.
How it should be: Key someones car, get caned in public, if you steal then they remove your hand.

If justice was like that, there would be no crime.

Now im not saying we have to be that extreme, But im saying that things are getting soft these days. Theres no room for people like that student who think they are even with the law. And its certainly rediculous to blame the police for doing their job, however heavy handed it may seem.

The least he could do was stop shouting obscenities, and verbally comply, rather than to continue with shouting his disagreement.

He got what was coming to him.

but now people are going to make him seem like a hero, when all he really is, is a stubborn jackass.





What the police should have done rather than telling him to stand, was Tazer him, then haul him down the stairs wherever they were taking him.
