    Myth-making and Political Interpretations

    Seeing as it's been brought up - in the Islam thread of all places - it probably stands to reason that we might need a thread for this. In the time since WW1 and WW2, there have been any number of historical revisions made on different wars, the players involved, and the decisions that were...

    Society/Culture Is there such a thing as the lesser evil?

    Aristotle, as found in Nicomachean Ethics, via Thomas a Kempis' The Imitation of Christ: "For the lesser evil can be seen in comparison with the greater evil as a good, since this lesser evil is preferable to the greater one, and whatever preferable is good." In a modern parlance, the 'lesser of...

    The Fall of the Aztecs

    Okay. I'm going to be clear on what this is not: this is not an attempt to paint myself or this creator as experts of what occurred in Mexico and Aztec America. this is is not intended to be a purely accurate account of what occurred; the narrative as presented within the following videos...

    Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 16 - 20

    This thread is for discussion of the games we aren't playing in. It is not a thread to constantly refer to how well/badly we are going in our own games, nor is it a place to ruin the enjoyment of others with constant jabs or referrals to Carlton's woes. Any posts that do so continuously will...

    USA James David Vance

    We don't have a thread on the US vice president, and it's been rather interesting the degree to which he has kept his head down since the election. The Trump-Vance-Zelensky press conference though has seen him push himself into the fore. Standard board rules apply.

    Frustration and Gaming

    I have today off, and I've played three different games today and turned off all three because I got frustrated rather than I wasn't enjoying them. Another Crab's Treasure: I was fighting a new boss, and the game suddenly started having audio and visual glitches, freezing and when it unfroze I...

    Society/Culture Is the SRP too negative?

    It's a question that concerns as much the reality the SRP reflects as it does the nature of the SRP itself. Do we only ever look at the crises, the negatives, the downsides? Is the glass always half empty? Is there no reason for optimisim? Is improvement always too hard, a step forward too far...

    The Law The Death Penalty

    Hiding reacts option

    I just had a thought. Would it be possible for BF to put an option into Settings or on an account to allow a user to hide all reacts? It'd solve problems for people not wanting to see troll reacts, or if they don't want to see the lol or disagree reacts. Might be a solution for users trying to...

    Society/Culture "Grifting" versus ethics: Is it anything goes?

    The words 'Grifting' and 'grifter' pop up a lot on the SRP, so it's probably worthwhile to have a thread dedicated to discussing the ethics of online marketing versus the full kit of manipulative tactics used in online spaces to obtain revenue. Is it clickbait? Is it shilling? Is it taking...

    Society/Culture Sport: Arbitrary, Needless or Essential?

    After discussion in another thread, the subject of the arbitrariness of sport came up. Okay, I brought it up. It got me wondering, what are people's thoughts on the nature of sport within our society? What is its role? What does it owe society, and vice versa? How should we view it? Is it...
