Was Jesus a Vampire?
I was curious, if Jesus was a vampire, like most scholars now assume; was he malkavian, ventrue, brujah, toreador, nosferatu or tremere?

Hey guys
I am redhouse, I used to play and debate here. I might play and debate again. But I have another question: Who knows a lot about C++? I may have some questions that seem trivial to those who know.

How does muting work?
I've never muted someone in a game before. Therefore, I am quite ignorant about how it works. Clearly if player A is muted by player B, B won't receive any messages from A while they're muted. What happens when B unmutes A? Do all the messages A sent to B while B had A muted suddenly appear, or are they lost forever?

New game Classic
Just went to a FTF tourney. Was fun. Want to play some more classic using the standard tourney rules (except of course 1 Day turns instead of 12 minutes).

Set it at 101d to filter for more reliable players. If that's too steep but you like the rest, chime in here, and I will make a new one with lower bet.

Trump to publish weekly list of crimes by immigrants
This will include crimes involving *legal* migrants, not just illegals. Does it feel like mid 1930s Germany yet, or what?

Nope. Considering that the order specifies that it is meant to inform the public of the harm done by sanctuary cities, it likely means just illegal immigrants. I have also never heard the term alien used in the context of a legal migrant. This is just speculation by the fake new organization, Independent. No other news agency has made such wild accusations.

Well, Leon, you are wrong, and it appears you don't know your own country's legal terminology.

Anyone admitted legally to the US, but who does not become a US citizen, remains a "legal alien".

www.uscis.gov/tools/glossary/permanent-resident-alien


The Executive Order specifically stipulates the publication of "a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens".

This therefore includes foreigners who are legally in the US, not just illegal immigrants.

"They can now see the effects of their desires on American lives and families."

Oh, did I miss Trump's executive order to also publish a weekly list of all the ways illegal immigrants have benefited people? Or are you deluded enough to think that never happens?

Anyway, thanks for demonstrating that you're all in favor of propaganda reeducation when it's for people whose politics you don't like.

slypups (1889 D)

Except by only publishing crimes of non-citizens, it looks like they commit lots of crimes. But if proportional statistics show they commit crimes at the same rate as citizens, then a listing of crimes is really meaningless - it just shows they are like any other large population in the US. Showing only partial facts is as good as lying and deception here - we should know all about this as WebDip players.
