Since I have been too political, I don’t know if I deserve to stay here on TBT. I have fun on this site, but I feel guilty bringing politics into discussions like these.

Meh, it’s fine. I cannot speak for others, but I would rather you be here on the site and post rather than leave. I don’t think anyone’s looking to attack each other, so it’s all good.

On another note, I’ve been thinking about where I go online from here. I mean, it’s not like I’m going to play another MMORPG. The fact that I’ve been able to stay off of any for this long is surprising, but if I go back to playing one, then I lose all the progress I’ve made doing other things.

I don’t know if I want to stay on TBT forever though. Like, it would be kind of weird posting here five years from now when I’m 26 and (hopefully) have a career going. Or at least it would be imo. It probably wouldn’t be, actually.... The question I’m trying to figure out is where I go from here. Do I go to a new forum or game? I really don’t know at this point.
 
Yeah, I?m going to stay here. I can?t leave, especially when the TBT Fair is coming.

Now I have one more political question, and this time, I?m not going to give the right-wing media more credibility than the users on this forum. Is it actually true that tech giants like Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and YouTube are purposely discriminating against conservatives for what they believe in, or is this a false and paranoid assumption from right-wing pundits made to scare their readers to both boycott these corporations and vote Republican in the upcoming elections? The news has reported several incidents of Facebook and Twitter banning conservative pages and some users. Just recently, I heard about a far-right news outlet called InfoWars being shut off from podcasts, Facebook, and YouTube. They?ve did it to Trump support groups too. Yet, they kept up the sickest anti-Christian pages or other extreme liberal groups that might be violating their terms and service. And of course, Google fired someone for denying gender discrimination in a memo about a year ago. It?s like they?re oppressing even the not-so-extreme conservatives and not giving them a chance to speak while they let the extreme liberals make their posts filled with hate speech.

The reason why I?m asking is because the tech giants supplying the discrimination against conservatives are denying it, saying that they are only banning the alt-right groups, but news outlets and journalists are confirming that they really are discriminating against conservatives. Ever since I learned that the wedding cake incident is more about the persecution of Christians than it is about LGBT rights like what the left-wing media says, it?s really hard for me to believe anything the left-wing says now, including these tech giants. But I?m only getting the discrimination reports from right-wing news sites, and I?m aware that Breitbart and other conservative sites lie a lot, which kinda puts me into an oblivion that only you guys can pull me out of.
 
Lol why would the tech giants be leftists? They are all about earning money and doing fishy stuff with advertising and your personal stuff ngl... I think you are the one being a bit paranoid about leftist people and things now lol :i

Actually, it?s the right-wing outlets that seems paranoid, not me. And it?s not really the companies that are biased. It must be the employees that are biased. But to be fair, most of the tech companies are headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is a very liberal place. So it wouldn?t be surprising that the employees are more liberal. But this isn?t the case for Southern Poverty Law Center, which is also ran by liberal-biased employees, and it?s headquartered in a more conservative part of the US.
 
I think the SF area has changed quite a lot, it's only like tech billionaires there nowadays and while they are probably more liberal than mr. toilet pres it's still capitalist so yeahhh.

I mean if you feel like you need to leave for whatever reason, then that's your choice. Just don't leave for some stupid reason like a forum member bullying you (which I doubt would happen but it's just a example). Then we'll really miss you.

I'm personally getting to that point where I really need to start focusing on my career, but part of me really wants to hold onto my childhood since I didn't have very much of one outside of sitting in my room all day doing nothing but playing games. Idk when I'll leave this forum, but it probably won't be anytime soon, since I'm paitently waiting for a new AC game and this forum will help a lot when it's released.


Part of me really hopes I can always make time for video games when I'm older. I don't want my life to be nothing but work. That would be so tiring.

^^^Well it seems like they haven't even announced it yet, maybe they're going for later in the year but idk.

Personally I wish it was actually during like June-July because last year it was very hard for me (and I'm sure others) to participate in the fair and try to do school stuff. The priority is obviously school so it would be nice if they did something like this before everyone (or at least most people) starts school
 
Why would you stop going because of age?? Like there are probably people that are 30-40 and maybe more that posts. If you enjoy it..?

Who are you asking? Idk who this is directed at, either Alolan_Apples, xSuperMario64x, or I, because it?s a new page and you didn?t quote anyone.

Nah, I don?t plan on leaving a couple years from now. Granted, I?ll probably be really busy with the type of career I?ll be doing, but I?ll still pop on from time to time.

Since my chocolate cakes are selling and that I’m getting up to 10,000 TBT again, my interest in this site has returned. I’m still going to work on other projects that may take my time away, but once a new AC game comes out, I’ll be going here much more often.

I hope I sell all of my cakes before the fair. This time, I’m gonna be serious about keeping my promise. I did want to buy chocolate cakes since they were the first collectible I coveted most, but I don’t need an extra set of collectibles aside to my apples.
