Ty for the kind gesture! You got one too??? Sweet!!! My ten year old really only likes to read picture books, and comics. Win win. I am very thankful for this version. Bought on sale at “hobby lobby”, it’s one of the the best $17 purchases I’ve ever made.
One good threadjack deserves another I suppose? you surely see the irony here.I am a lowly new member and rarely get involved in silly internet arguments, but this entire thing just rubs me the wrong way and I feel compelled to comment.
So let me get this straight. You acted like an entitled Karen in that poor guy's sales thread yesterday. Instead of admitting you were wrong or apologizing, you decide to make a "giveaway" thread with a bunch of passive aggressive comments that are so obviously directed at the OP of that sales thread you might as well have tagged his username in it.
You having a childish fit and then trying to claim "discrimination" (while also bringing God into it) is just beyond absurd. As someone who has faced actual discrimination in his life, I don't appreciate this at all. This is not a good look for the community as a whole and definitely doesn't set a good example for all the new chippers/members who may have viewed your asinine comments in that sales thread.
While I appreciate how generous you are being in this thread, one good deed does not overwrite a bad one. If you really want to make things right or clear your conscience, you owe @softchewy a sincere apology.
Just my 2 cents.

If someone feels discriminated that's their right and I don't think it's cool to dismiss it on the basis of having faced 'actual' discrimination yourself. smh.
All the best to both the gents and both their lovely gestures irrespective of perceived motives. Chip away!
So it's discrimination if you don't meet the criteria to buy something and then just decide to have a completely uncalled for childish hissy fit? Lol, give me a break. Also, is this real life? Did we read the same thread and posts by this guy? It's obvious this dude has some serious issues and needs professional help.
What's ironic is how OP claims to not like drama but is usually the one acting abrasive or confrontational in every thread I've seen him post in. What kind of normal person has a lengthy block list on a poker chip forum? This thread is such a parody and if I was a mod I would have deleted it a long time ago. It's obvious it was created out of ego and narcissism.
But hey, if you think a couple racks of $1 chips will change or make up for the fact that this guy is acting like a complete tool then by all means, go join his cult. Just be sure not to drink the Kool-Aid.
Depends on basis and context, but probablyyou should meet @Frogzilla , he hates discrimination too
Even random would be discrimination on an arbitrary and fair basis.I'm not in, but think this is very generous of you. I was thinking though, that since you are not choosing the winner by a random, unbiased way, won't your choice be a discriminating choice? Not to create controversy, but some type of random choice that is out of your control might be a better choice. But again, this is very cool of you to offer this, and I agree with you about discrimination.
So it's discrimination if you don't meet the criteria to buy something

Discrimination, not even in the legal sense, is more nuanced than some different than others.Yes. That’s treating some people different than others imo.

I think the only way to do this truly this without discrimination is to give nobody anything (which I will do today in your honor @SpaceMonkey420).
And I’ll also chuckle a little if those arias get flipped at market price.

"the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, age, sex, or disability."
Unjust or prejudicial does an awful lot of work in that sentence. Is it unjust that some people who have more chips dont get access to free chips? I wouldnt say that was prejudicial on its face, the category of people being quite literally 'the haves' vs 'the have-nots'.
If we keep citing the Bible and God, we kinda sorta have to define just and right, correct? Why would God have the meek inherent the Earth, isnt that unjust/prejudicial to the Pharoahs?
See, you're failing to understand discrimination again; "officially discriminated on" is wrong. Why is that designation unjust or prejudicial? Just being different isnt inherently unjust.Access to free chips? It said if you’re looking to expand your set these are for sale. Go back and read the ad. Like 1. That was a sales add. Nothing free about it, and if you had too many chips according to OP you’re officially discriminated on and treated different than others. It’s nonsense to me, always will be, that’s probably why people are setting up more than one account.
As for inheriting the earth, don’t get it twisted. It still belongs to God. We didn’t inherit a thing, it’s HIS.
And oh no no, most of Christianity says if Im not baptized I go straight to hell, so isnt that a category of people treated unjustly due to being in a category? Id say eternal damnation is pretty unjust because I skipped a very important bath.
My disdain of organized religion aside, to have all this vague dialogue about "discrimination" in a post simply about providing a giveaway... is pretty bizarre.See, you're failing to understand discrimination again; "officially discriminated on" is wrong.
