~Intent is magic~

I don't give a shit about them personally or their intentions, they still perpetuate very harmful ideas. Also most people like that, with such an utter disregard of that fact, actually are racist/transphobic/homophobic/etc. on some level; it's just not something they're very open about.

If someone thinks it is ok to "just say stuff like that" as a joke, or to get a rise out of people, you are racist as fuck and people are right to call you on it.

"I didn't mean it, look how upset you got, haha" is a weak ass defense and if you buy it you are a moron. Why, in a country where people are still beaten , shot, not offered jobs, not offered housing , and stopped and searched based on the color of their skin, would it be ok to try an get a rise out of people by 'pretending' to be racist?

The only people I know who could think that was ok to do, or to tolerate, are people who are racists and think that racism is "not a real problem". Why would it being trolling, or hyperbole make it any less terrible? How would that make it less racist? What that reads like to me is "oh, it's not so bad, these are people who wouldn't admit they were racist in real life." Those are the worst kind of racists, because they get put in charge of things that matter. At least when someone is a KKK wizard he isn't (usually) going to be made police chief, or a TSA guard, or a teacher.

Indeed. They wear hoods for a reason; even in those far more racist days when they were powerful.

I disagree, but I am not here to argue that. That is more a pointful(?) post than a pointless one.

Papersatan · « **Reply #154 on:** 16 Sep 2013, 10:08 »

Well, apparently it remains pointless to try to convince white moderates that racism still exists and is harmful, and that it is not ok just just give people a pass because they are "otherwise nice people" and "didn't mean it like that" and "things are not so bad, and pointing out all this racism just makes there be conflict"

It has even been suggested that the advice given was cynically designed to maximise casualties, to minimise the problems that sick survivors would cause any remaining authorities after a nuclear attack.

Kugai · « **Reply #169 on:** 16 Sep 2013, 16:58 »

A lot of it was deliberate playing down the dangers combined with a small level of sheer ignorance despite the examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It took a long time before the reality of Nuclear War finally sank into the psyche of the general public, and even then a lot of people preferred to adopt the 'Ostrich Mode' when it came to it.

I was trying to write out how it wasn't in my mind.. but everything I come up with is true about it. I was thinking of game as in like PS3 game or something of the like. They both have characters, enemies, graphics, story and an end result to go for so it kinda invalidated all my thinking that it wasn't a real game.

Wait, so....the judge not only changed the kid's name, but now his first name is his mom's last name too?? What happens if he decides to take his mom's last name when he gets older? His name would be Martin Martin.

As soon as I noticed it was a "click on this" type game, I immediately knew someone was going to cheat by using scripts.. that's just sad. It took maybe an hour at the most to get everything up to where you wait 5 minutes and have like 50 million cookies. I was also doing this while working on other things...

(click to show/hide)

Open the development console and enter

Code: [Select]

cookie = document.getElementById('bigCookie');then

Code: [Select]

fooX = setInterval("cookie.click()", 1)as many times as you feel like. X is variable to make each instance unique. I think it stops having any effect after the first two or three, ten times/ms was a bit of an over-estimate (I did it ten times but it wasn't much different to 2 or 3).

To stop them, use

Code: [Select]

clearInterval(fooX)for each time that you used setInterval.

I've also got a snippet that will buy everything available, starting at the bottom of the list and working up. I kinda want to rewrite it to buy the cheapest first, but that'll have to wait.

Code: [Select]

buyLoop = function(){for(var i = 9; i >= 0, i = i - 1){Game.ObjectsById[i].buy();}}; buyInterval = setInterval("buyLoop()", 1000)

This can't cope with the upgrades yet, so you'll have to stop the buyInterval using clearInterval(buyInterval) if you want to save for those.

Also you might want to go into settings and turn numbers and particles off.

My game time is up to 9 hours and I'm getting 12, no, 16 million cookies per second.

The grandmas are starting to become prophetic.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #198 on:** 17 Sep 2013, 13:02 »

Cheating using scripts is actually the creative way to do it.

Much easier to export the save, un-Base64 it, edit the number of cookies (it's obvious) to a sky-high number, re-Base64 it, and import the save.
