I'd like to talk about my father's recently declining health (the doctor said today that his kidneys are going to fail in about three to six months), but I've realized I'm not sure which sub-forum that should go in. Could someone help me out here?

So yeah; apparently, we don't have the best-trained military in the world anymore. And if drastic changes aren't made in respose to this embarrassing loss, our military is only going to get worse.

Any of you ever tried to install some new drivers, only to have them completly bork your computer to the point where it just boots to a bluescreen message? Because I just did, and it is not fun; especaully not once I realized that my computer hadn't been creating restore points automatically...

In my opinion, the only verifiable truth regarding death is that we all leave a corpse behind. What this means is that, if there is an afterlife (and I have seen no evidence to suggest that there isn't one), our continued sense of self is going to rely on us being able to function without all...

I never thought I'd see the day when M. Night Shyamalan would be outdone as having made the worst attempt at adapting Avatar: The Last Airbender, but apparently here we are. It seems they're going for the Dragonball Evolution approach again; setting it in our world so that they can make the...

Let's face it; former owner Zoe's attempt to provide a space where we can all post milk-toast erotic content was a failure long before she "left", and now it's just sad. There has been a grand total of two works of erotic fiction posted (one in 2019, and another in 2020), one recruitment thread...

MODLY EDIT: Right to Repair Discussion removed from the Epic vs. Apple thread. Considering Apple's tireless efforts to kill the Right to Repair movement, I'd say that seats them firmly into the "evil" category.

It's clear to me that the unions of today are nothing like what they were initially intended to be. Which is depressing, considering how often I've defended them over the years. The concept is sound, as a unified group is harder for a corporation to abuse than individual employees; but it has...

I've just returned from a three-week sabbatical, and I decided to start fresh by deleting my entire Ignore list; I've found out though that I cannot remove users who have since been banned, which is slightly annoying.

Be honest; nobody actually believed the courts wouldn't side with the large multi-national corporation, did they? Our system is so broken on every level, it's downright pathetic.

For those who are unaware, the mods of r/Animemes made the boneheaded decision a while ago to ban the word "trap" from their community, because the beleive it offended the transgendered. This sparked a full-scale rebellion; consisting of memes, people abandoning the subreddit en mass for...

Are you tired of all the wokeness infesting western television? Do shows that involve guys dressed in spandex, punching other guys in rubber monster suit until they explode appeal to you? If so, then I invite you to come with me to the land of the rising sun, and explore a genre that is as of...

I want to complain about things in fiction I don't like; so have a thread where we can all do just that. I want to stress though that everything posted in this thread is merely the meaningless opinion of some nobody who will eventually die, and be forgotten; so try not to give it more weight...

It's been brought up in a couple of threads, so for anyone wanting a summary of all the issues that have caused NASCAR to fall on hard times in recent years, this video seems to do a decent job: In short though; an inability to attract new fans, shortening attention spans, the death of Dale...

"Black Lives Matter" as a concept has simply become too tainted by violence to mean what it was originally intended to mean anymore, if it ever did. Now it's just "Any Time A Black Person Dies, We Are Going To Lash Out At Everyone And Everything Around Us Until We Get Bored", and it aggravates...

You do realize this is going to encourage further division, right? People who think one thing will post in this thread, while people who think another will post in in Reville's, and they'll simply stop communicating with each other on this topic; beyond posting drive-by snipes on the opposing...

Not talking about Charlottesville: These are just some examples mind you. The ACLU is firmly on the side of the regressive left. Perhaps not entirely, but enough so that if it came down to deciding between principles and partisan politics, I would not bet on them picking the former.

Just asking if the staff would be open to the idea of creating a Questionable Questing-style High Noon thread; a place where users could go to tell other users exactly what they think of them, without derailing other threads with passive-aggressive (or not so passive) sniping.

Recent discussions have reminded me that the one subject on which the post-modernists have it completely right (as I understand their position, at least) is, I believe, that of entertainment. There is no such thing as objectively good entertainment, nor is there such a thing as entertainment...

Okay, you mind explaining this to me? Because this is an argument that I'd be very interested in seeing you expand upon.
