all humans are inherently evil

No, all humans have a potential for evil and they also have a potential for good.

You've met humans, I assume?

American culture in real life is quite different than American culture in our films.  For example, our cars, just  like your cars, don't really blow up when they get shot or get in a crash.

Trump should encourage all Americans to participate in Ramadan as a way to address our national obesity problem.

That would be Nym or Muons job. No?
I could have muted him, But I'm not going to unilaterally do that.

Informally, my policy when I was a mod was pretty much that if I was sure it was a sock account, and at least one other mod agreed with the evidence I presented, then I'd put the account on mute until Nym came around to do the ban.  But your mileage may vary.  If we've now reached the point where a mod presents evidence that an account is a sock account, and no one addresses it for entire month, then the mod board has truly gone to hell.  

EDIT: To clarify, the reason Dave invented the 50 point bomb in the first place was so that regular mods could at least put sock accounts and spammers on mod review if Nym wasn't around.  That's what it's for.  Just make sure you're sure it's a sock account before using it, because it's difficult to undo.  That's why even in fairly obvious cases, I would typically wait until one other mod agreed with the evidence I presented, to make sure I didn't screw up.

Days ago I had a little "oops" moment, when giving maga 1 for spam clicked "50 spam account" by mistake.

Was Ossoff2028 really Eharding?

Yes he was.

Wow!!!

So why do individuals go to such elaborate lengths solely in order to gain posting writes to a political internet Forum?

It boggles the mind imho.....

Maybe there needs to be a separate thread that "Recovering Atlas Sock Account Addicts" should be able to access as some type of 12 step support group scene?

I find it so bizarre that this Forum appears to have so many deranged individuals desperate for a sense of community and online connection, that they resort to these types of subterfuges, when they "aren't getting their fix".

"Hi my name is eHarding and I am an Atlas addict"

I realized that only a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity

We can run through all of the twelve steps, but I think y'all get the point....

But notice how Austrian electricity prices are the same as the EU average.

Clearly Austria is a representative microcosm of Europe as a whole. Just as we in the U.S. once asked "will it play in Peoria" those in the EU must now ask "will it play in Salzburg".

WTF is Ingress?

You should be banned for asking

To be fair, I should be banned for a lot of things.

Maybe, but asking BRTD to expand on anything is really the worst offense possible.  You missed the ingress episodes.......I can't get those months/years back.

Quebec, easily.

I prefer a month or two of really cold winter weather and tons of snow to a snake and crocodile-infested swamp state.

Plus most of the lower portion of Louisiana don't have any basements.  That's problematic for you.

You sure?
