Another "drama free" one made by Candelabro, intended for more mature discussions, preferred by many over the public one. Private; you have to request an invite:

# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

You look around, and every girl is wearing the same sunglasses, the same $15 dress or whatever, the same $25 skinny shorts, making the same dumbass poses on every photo.

I'm thinking of blending in.

I've worked on it a little, and had some testing with it (on YouTube). I've added a lot of words into the blacklist, which currently is this:

"fag", "cunt", "dick", "idiot", "shit", "cuck", "simp", "fuck", "kill", "ass", "censor", "dissi", "jew", "yenta", "bank", "idf", "nigg", "coon", "negro", "black", "spic", "gay", "homo", "degen", "suicide", "tranny", "troon", "jeet", "brown", "retard", "hitler", "nazi", "natsoc", "goy", "communist", "mongrel", "race", "mixer", "rape", "groom", "sex", "genocid", "holo", "white", "atrocit", "subh", "media", "death", "murder", "extinct", "porn", "thot", "whore", "bitch", "foid", "massac"

Note: Words that contain any of those get fully obfuscated.

I had moderate success, so clearly the comments are not outright censored, but one of my comments using it was. I am not sure why - it could literally be due to its length, but bizarrely it went through (1 out of 4) when I obfuscated the entire text (all letters). I checked with an incogni window. One version was just the first 2 paragraphs, which didn't make it either. I'll write the comment below.

Other comments that used it normally with blacklist mode on went through.

So it's hard to figure out if the letters are actually parsed or not. But if they allow the entire text to be obfuscated, then just deactivating Blacklist mode might do it (it will obfuscate every vowel + a few more letters). Anyway, there are plenty of options to try around. I'll give an update when I have more certainty.

It could be semi-random as well, making it harder to assess their algorithms. Plus sometimes the comments appear with a 10-20 minute delay.

Summary of its purpose: The Obfuscator replaces letters with similar/identically looking letters that maintain readability to humans, but *may* elude censorship algorithms. Meaning you could write "FΑԌԌΟT" (this is the obfuscated result) instead of "F4GG0T" or with stars, and the censorship algorithm sees it as F????T where ? are *presumably* unknown characters.

I did excellent in high school and trade school but every time I attempt university I can't do it. I manage to last 1-2 years. Don't know why this happens but I see literal retards with two bachelors degrees.

Some possible explanations as to why this happens:

—Can't concentrate in classes of 100 people

—Professors who can't speak English

—Forced into group projects for literally everything with idiots

—Half the people are there to get laid and party instead of learning

—Half of your courses have nothing to do with your degree

—Workload gives zero free time outside of school hours

—Spend half your time walking around the giant campus looking for your classes

I wish I could muster the strength to get a degree because it would make my life so much easier but instead I'm relegated to skilled trades. Uni just feels like a massive humiliation ritual.
