Technical term? Huh?

I was not attacking you Pat I was poking fun at people who get hypersensitive about terminology.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

5% based assholes like me with the blank ("fuck this shit")

Hey guys, this fucking retard thinks they can call themself based proving that they don't even understand what the word means.

HO-LEE shit you're all dumb as a fucking brick.

Why would you attack someone in such a way because they disagree with you... I presume. That said, other than you having a negative view of someone, what exactly are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying?
"Based" is used  to praise someone else. Using it to refer to yourself combines hubris with cluelessness, and tends to be severely mocked on forums where the term is popular.
You can't call yourself "based" wah wah wah cry cry cry poor baby. Who cares? Let's all argue about that and the definition of various slang while we're at it. What kind of person attacks someone over casual use of language? Hmmm...
You definitely deserve all the mocking you get.
Have you started yet? Still waiting...what a weak sauce (*) mocking.

(*) Poll: Did rytrasmi use this slang correctly?
I never mocked you. I just defined how the term was used, and you've been acting like a baby ever since.

Like I said, you deserve all the mocking you get.

So, "I've never mocked you; I just encourage/approve everyone else mocking you"?  That's the most childish non-denial I think I've ever heard.  You're better than that, Pat.
Rytrasmi badly misused a technical term, and got mocked for it. This confused several posters, so I explained how the technical term is used, and why that kind of usage is mocked. For that, I got attacked by Rytrasmi, who doubled down on his cluelessness. So yes, Rytrasmi deserves to be mocked. Not for misusing the term, but for attacking people who are trying to be helpful, and having this huge crying fit about it.

I'm tired of this shit. I try to be helpful, I get attacked for it, and then posters like you come in and blame me. Fuck the hell off.
Just being helpful = "You deserve to be mocked."  Sure, whatever you say...

Wait, Based is a technical term now?

In that case Chad is going to blow your mind.

I'm going with the black slang.  Rytrasmi was saying he was freebasing.  It's a cry for help.  :P

Jargon, if you prefer. A term used with a specific meaning by a specific group of people, which often leads to confusion among people unfamiliar with that usage.

You were acting as a parody of someone hypersensitive? If the intent was benign, it's all good. But that's really hard to convey in text, especially with people who don't know you.

Gen Con is also requiring you to show your papers to gain entry.

When has a convention not required you to show your papers to gain entry? No badge, no entry. That's...the entire purpose of the badge. Or are you saying showing more papers (a vax card) is some major burden in addition to your badge? Because, having had to show both before, they can even hang in the same lanyard together.

I'll just put them right next to my Star of David.

Yeah those two things are just like each other, right?

For me this is iteration 3 of this hateful 'movement' Usually we'd be in the lull between one peak and the next. But instead its been maintaining momentum even as resistance increases.

WOTC was infiltrated by the 90s iteration and what we are seeing is just more of the same. Just more ham handed with the 2010 infiltration. Which is hilarious as they are infiltrating the already infiltrated. Probably why WOTC is so gung-ho now for the agenda.

  Crippling childhood diseases or a virus that the average age of death is 86.  About as similar as that star and card you were talking about.

Interesting. What state are you in, if I may ask? I know I had to show proof of vaccination (MMR, polio, DTap, Hep-B, and chickenpox) for my son when he first enrolled in grade school - and I had to show it for his day care as well. When I worked as a teacher, I had to show the same, and I also had to show a negative TB test.

I'm in California, but from what I see online, every state has vaccination requirements for students in K-12 and in day care, though some have religious exemptions. Here's the Texas vaccination requirements, for example:

https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/school-requirements.aspx

Are you saying you applied for an exemption and thus didn't have to show vaccination?

Did you or did you not attend a school which required your vaccination records in order to attend? Assuming you did, how is that meaningfully different to you than requiring records to attend an event?
