Yeah, they're all good! For me, I is my favorite. J is a close second. I like that the birds all inhabit approximately the same location on J though, all entering that circle. It's a nice touch. D I feel is too plain, but it may be slightly better functionally. It definitely looks more like currency. I is the most artistic and interesting I think.

I assume these are in the same order for everyone, but I loved the first set of vertical ones; the ones with might contrast. Most of the designs felt afraid to use color, since the note is supposed to be one color to identify them easily. I honestly think having the high contrast with the birds makes them easier to identify though. 90% of it was still the right color, so that's still easy to see. Having the image stand out just gives it another identifiable piece though, which can't hurt, and it makes them look so much prettier.

The issue is everyone else thinks they can game it too, so price predictions are built into the cost, meaning you'll probably lose. There will be others who can trade faster and have more information who will beat you 99.99% of the time.

IIRC, it was the most popular frontend. I think most people use an app, so it didn't affect most. People on web browsers though were more likely than not to be affected.

One bad apple spoils the bunch.

The issue is that a good cop would take a stand against these bad cops. However, the organization protects the bad cops and makes life hell, or removes, the cops that turn against any part of the organization. They view it as "us vs them" and "if you aren't with us then you're with them and against us." Good cops aren't welcome, so the ones left are at best neutral, but I'd argue not taking a stand is evil. Just following orders wasn't an excuse for Nazis, and it isn't an excuse for cops. If you aren't fighting back then you're at least complacent.

90+% of the time that is enough, yeah. I have had some good experiences with people there though. I don't write off every one of the users, but it's usually enough. The tag is just more accurate after it's confirmed.

I’m not going to spend my time arguing with a lib about this.

Dude, view my comment history. Cut your bullshit. (Is this not an allowed phrase, because a cow's shit isn't bad, so it must be misandrist?) You don't get to decide whatever you want, like me being a "lib" because I don't agree with your authoritarian view on language, and force everyone else to agree. You could try explaining why you don't like something, and try to convince others, instead of just telling people it is whatever you think.

I am not the one who used this language though. I purely explained that it doesn't mean what you want just because you said so. If you want to remove it, you should put it in the rules. Again, so much language needs to be removed if you start going this route. I don't think you want to spend all your time on this.

I've played airsoft a few times and paintball once. The airsoft field I played at had a rule where you could say "bang" or something to take someone out close up instead of shoot them (you could do either if your gun shot lower than a given speed). The paintball field had a rule where you couldn't shoot someone close up and had no close range alternative, so it was just an awkward moment if you were too close to shoot someone. It was pretty stupid.

I like that you think you can just dictate something and say it's not up for discussion while it is literally being discussed, and there are valid responses. No, you don't get to decide this. You are not the arbiter of language, and you don't get to decide what other people perceive. It's fine to ask nicely, but not in the manner you're doing. You can say "I think [x], so please stop" but that's not what you're doing. You're trying to tell us what is meant.

While we're at it, aren't asshole, pussy, dick, and just about every other insult not allowed too? Are we just not allowed to speak, because language has old connotations built into it? Are you going to start telling people that gendered romantic languages are wrong? What about something like gentlemen, which originally meant someone from a good family?

No, trying to fix language like this is pretty ridiculous. They didn't say anything homophobic. Just because you read something into it doesn't mean everyone else has to change. I think most people wouldn't think the comment above is saying the person is bad because they're subservient. It's clear that it's bad because of the person they're trying to please.

This is one of the things that makes right-libertarians so frustrating. Their logic never makes any sense. Letting corporations do whatever they want comes at the expense of the liberty of the people. They can't understand this though and they want to liberate corporations, assuming it somehow won't affect them.

Tag them. It's the best of both worlds. You instantly recognize the bullshit, but you also get the entertainment.

If you're in this situation, don't say this. You are under no obligation to explain anything, and anything you say will be used against you (and will not be used to defend you). Just shut the fuck up.
