Banned for not taking the opportunity to make a joke about hypocrisey in your last post. Like "Hello pot, name's kettle, have we met?"

Granted, but you have to get there conventionally, compromising most or all of your morals, then find the position is actually extremely limited and congress blocks everything you ever try to do, ever. You leave the office having accomplished very little, and if you ever want back in it (or just to leave it without being killed) you'll have to accomplish absolutely nothing positive and likely quite a bit negative. I wish I had more money.

Can we get back on topic? Because we haven't been even REMOTELY on-topic since that smug prick came back.

I'm pretty sure the horse is out of the barn on that one. And across the pasture, and down the road.

Guys, I'm really getting tired of this. And we've seriously de-railed this thread. Oh, and pest? Using blatant abrahamic religious symbolism to combat a creature that (in-universe, of course) created all abrahamic religions just doesn't feel right. SCP-001 and SCP-343 couldn't exist in the same universe as the Elder God because part of the Elder God's backstory is completely fabricating the things they're based on as a scheme for the enslavement of mortals. The Elder God is a metaphor for the real-life human creators of the abrahamic religions, hence how it shares their greed, their lust for power, their obsession with control, their fondness for slavery, their support of rape, their violence, their bigotry, their misogyny, their selfishness, their lack of morals or even ethics, and their fondness of deception. Even its power and the extreme difficulty of ever truly killing it are a metaphor for religion's persistent and obstinate nature, as even if individual religions die off new religions are always arising to take their place.

You've got nothing, and you're wasting your time. If you had anything better than insults you would have used it by now, so why don't you just clear on out and save face?

Fine then, BTG.

Playing semantics is not going to fool me or anyone else. Your attack was too thinly veiled to claim it was anything else now. I know exactly what you are doing, trying to discredit my statements by making a false association between me and a condition associated with mindless outbursts and poor self-control. You are a liar, and a fool. If insults are the best you have then you should withdraw, because no insult is going to work on me.

Speaking of enthusiastic ignorance, you are just exuding it right now. I particularly love how you: A. Refuse to address the fact that we waste several times more food that would be required to solve world hunger just running factory farms, and that if we STOPPED using factory farms we could easily B. Point to Daily Caller. Want to guess who pays for them? Right, the Koch brothers. Want to guess why? Right, because the Koch brothers have a vested interest in ensuring that clean and renewable energies and environmental studies and protection never take off, as they are busy selling non-renewable, world-killing fossil fuels. C. Fail to provide an argument against storing electricity from solar and wind power immediately after wasting my time with semantics. D. Put words in my mouth. I said that issues like that can be easily removed, not that *I* could easily remove them. And what's holding me up is the same thing that has kept us from adopting clean and renewable resources to begin with. That issue is money in politics. If we get money out of politics, then without our politicians being bribed most of our most obvious issues, like this bullshit, can be settled fairly rapidly. And why yes, there is work being done towards that end. For example, there's several very large movements being made to get state legislators to push for a convention of the states to pass a constitutional amendment on campaign finance reform. And if that's done, then we can cut down on political corruption and make actual progress without ridiculous crap like this.

Who needs side-effect free LSD on pizzas that taste like c-sharp and smell like purple, when you can have legalized LSD so you don't have to hide it on your pizza anymore and can just have a blotter? (And somehow, I'm not surprised.)

Because it's fun to fight with an idiot. Not very sportsmanlike, but fun. I thoroughly enjoy watching you scramble to defend sources that can't be defended because there's nothing IN them. I enjoy shooting down your every effort, and you're making it so easy on me that I have no reason to stop. Why don't you just concede and save yourself some face? Granted, I'll still be laughing at you, not with you I assure you, but the longer you wait the worse it'll be when you finally have to do it. And trust me, it's inevitable. It's inevitable because your position is untenable and your sources are garbage. So why not just give up and be done with it?

Infection doesn't apply to the elder god. Especially since it's a space-faring entity to begin with, its bodies self-destruct upon death, and it's immune to both disease and poison as it actually engages in continuous self-repair. Any infection could not occur as it instantly eradicates foreign substances with force damage, and even if a host could be infected it would purge the infection very quickly then repair the damage and un-do any changes in very little time. Even if one of them did die, it could not infect the others as it doesn't respirate or otherwise eject matter from itself, the others can assist it in purging foreign entities, and should one die it disintegrates itself through force damage upon death to prevent anything from being done with the body, and the disintegration is pretty intense. This thing has been around the galaxy for a billion years, encountered more infectious organisms than anybody cares to count, defeated them all and made its defences immune to them and everything that functions even kindof remotely like them. It can't be defeated through infection. (For the record, force damage is a kind of magical damage that is basically "everything, all at once". It crushes, cuts, grinds, stretches, impacts, punctures, vibrates, super-heats, super-cools, electrifies, irradiates, ionizes both positively and negatively and changes ph both positively and negatively, all of these rapidly alternating in different sections of the impacted area. Nothing destroys matter more thoroughly than force damage, and it's extremely difficult to defend against. The only downside is it's energy-intensive, and that's not a problem when self-destructing.)

And here, we have a REAL ad-hominem attack, made with no argument at all. I do believe that means I win. The only question is what I've won.

Love the blatant nonsense, especially towards the end. We don't NEED a single power source to replace all energy production anywhere. Wind power WORKS in HUGE sections of the country, and bringing in something stupid like "the government then has to pay them to not generate" is RETARDED, because an issue like that is pretty damned easy to remove. BULLSHIT. We can store power JUST FINE. It's called a BATTERY. Ever heard of those? Of course you have, but you just "forgot" the second they were inconvenient to your BULLSHIT position. You're as bad as BTG, you know that? One word: Gigafactory. Google it. It's a thing, in production RIGHT NOW by Elon Musk, that completely fucks your entire position into non-existence by allowing cheap production of the power cells that are the most expensive part of a solar panel. The rest of it is pretty cheap, actually. I love how idiotic anti-green people are, where they completely forget everything about everything if it contradicts their position. Like how the price of lithium ion batteries and power cells is dropping, and is about to drop even further. Or how we're NOT talking about any ONE form of renewable energy taking over entirely, just being put in place WHERE THEY CAN to cut back on the need for non-renewable resources, and if ONE form of renewable energy doesn't work, then ANOTHER usually will, so very little of the power grid actually needs to be run off non-renewable resources. You just went full retard. I just explained why that's NOT TRUE AT ALL, ONE TINIEST FUCKING BIT, YOU FUCKING MORON. Seriously, pay attention. Most of our food production goes to feeding factory-farm livestock. If we instead switched from factory farm livestock to traditionally raised livestock, we wouldn't NEED the HUGE amount of food that goes to them, and not only would the price of food not go up anywhere but in meat, the price of ALL OTHER FOODS would PLUMMET. We would have less meat, but more grains, more vegetables, more everything that's NOT meat. We'd have enough food just by not using factory farming to solve world hunger TWICE, and the excess could be used to produce biofuel. Bullshit. The issue with a river, which REALLY isn't that big, is that there's nowhere else for the water to go. Not so in the ocean. Water happily flows around on every other side except for where there'd be a funnel leading into the turbines, which is a TINY section of the ocean required and is NOT a problem. Funny, but do you have anything more specific? Like, what the alternative to the "turbine fans in a funnel" actually is? Because there's not a thing to say if you don't tell me WHAT the alternative to the perfectly viable technology already mentioned is, so I can't really comment on it. Okay, see, I LIKE nuclear power. At least more than coal or oil. But I'd rather NOT use it if solar, wind, hydroelectric or tidal power can be used in a given area instead. As far as I'm concerned, fission is plan B. If nothing else works there, THEN put up a reactor. But HUGE sections of the country can get most or all of their power from renewable sources, our combustion cars can be converted to run biofuel (all I'd actually want biofuel for) as can the backup generators if something goes wrong, and the places that don't get high daytime sun exposure, don't have an abundance of rivers, aren't on the coast and don't get a lot of wind can run nuclear. Everyone else should just run the renewable resource(s) that work(s) in their area.

I don't care if my fun is at the expense of an idiot. Idiots deserve it, and it's even good for them because them being confronted about their stupidity can lead to them realising "Oh, wait. I'm full of shit!" and changing their stance of a topic. And BTG is an idiot. Oh my, is he ever.

Funny, there doesn't seem to be many ad hominem attacks. Are you familiar with what that phrase actually means, or are you just using latin to make yourself sound smarter? Okay, see, now THAT was an ad hominem attack. And there's been a few, yes, but they're hardly the only thing here and I don't think they're even the majority. And finally, don't tell me to calm down. I'm not going to say I'm calm, but there's no anger. I'm having FUN. The smile has not left my face since we started. I find this entire thing very amusing, funny even. And I'm not going to stop just because some guy who doesn't see the comedic value of a good argument with a good idiot like BTG tells me to stop.

1. Hate? No sir, this is amusement. I'm enjoying kicking your ass about this, just like I would any other idiot. Especially now that you're thoroughly defeated and you're refusing to admit it.

BTG, stop posting on serious topics. You're making it clear you believe EVERYTHING the Koch brothers want you to, and never do any research. By your own logic, and seriously, do the math on this, a solar cell powering a house would have to cover the entire city block in order to work. In REALITY, a place you've clearly never been, solar cells don't even cover the entire roof of the house, and they DO provide enough power to run most places through the night. Solar cells are 20-25% efficient, and a 1m square (a single, very small panel) generally produces an average of 200-300w per hour of daylight. Most houses with panels have 20+ square metres of solar panels. I think you can do that math yourself, but in case you're too retarded that's 4-6kw of power. That's considerably more than you can actually use, so it can store some for night, and for days with rain, snow or heavy cloud cover. Granted, it's not so effective where I live, we don't get enough sunlight, but in places such as Nevada it'll work perfectly fine. Hydroelectric has much less environmental impact than you think, it's a rather hefty amount of my state's power and the environmental repercussions are very small compared to the world-killing effects of YOUR pet industry. Geothermal... Actually, until technology considerably improves, you're right about this. Wind is NOT expensive, it NEVER draws ANY power, and it's NOT noisy. My aunt has a wind turbine in front of her house as her PRIMARY power supply, and I can't remember the thing EVER making ANY sound. The thing wasn't cheap, no, but it has needed upkeep a grand total of once and for less than a hundred dollars in the two years it's been there. Not to mention the blades spin slowly and do NOT cause issues with airborne animals because airborne animals because even birds are not stupid enough to fly into the very slow moving blade. Biofuel works just fine, it just doesn't work in an engine or generator not specifically built for it. The big issue is that it'd be taking space that we would prefer to use to grow food, except we don't NEED that space if we cut back on the meat a bit because the food grown there is what we're feeding to factory farm livestock. If we switched back to conventional farming for livestock we'd produce less meat, but we'd have enough space left over, after solving world hunger ON THE SPOT, to start making massive amounts of biofuel. And we'd STILL have PLENTY of meat with the livestock grazing naturally, just not as much as we have now. (Oh, perish the thought we might stop eating meat on a daily basis and go back to our healthier, more natural state of eating it only 2-3 times a week. Oh, the horror.) Tidal power you're also right about, except for the claim that we lack the technology. No, we totally have the technology to do it RIGHT NOW, it's the same technology as hydroelectric with barely any adjustments, but we're not doing it because then your party's precious sponsors, like the Koch brothers, would lose SOME money. Not all their money, but SOME money, and they hate that idea no matter how good it would be for everybody else. I think there's a word for that kind of obsessive, all-encompassing selfishness taken to the point of intentionally harming others to further your own goals, even if the benefits to yourself are absolutely tiny in comparison to the damage you do. I believe that word is "Evil"?

If you thought I was serious, you're crazy.

I don't think it has an effect on this kind of situation on account of A: Not having anything to gain from this crap (not that it doesn't make MASSIVE mistakes), B: Being completely humourless, C: Not being real and D: Just being a metaphor for oranized... Religion... Okay. So maybe it does, indirectly, have something to do with it. Or at least its inspiration did.

WHY CAN NO NEWS EVER BE GOOD? Fuck Earth.

Yeah, have fun with that fiasco of a plan. It's not like you're the first, or second, or nine hundred thousanth to try it. It's still there, and it's stable enough to keep itself alive. For the most part, what's gone is its memory. And Pest179, that thing isn't a threat. It can't even move, the elder god will stay the hell away from it like it would (and does) a black hole or exploding star. Even if it screws up, it won't lose much to it. It might even just move SCP-435-1 to the surface of Mercury and forget about it. And I NEED to get this work done, so I'm going to have to put this on hold, okay?
