I'm just glad Sarah Silverman got called out for being racist. I have despised ever since her appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in the 90s. And yes, Conan and Andy laughed uproariously at her racist remarks.

Damn, hearing that about Sarah Silverman is news to me, how disappointing. Not surprised that Conan and Andy would laugh at that type of humor, though. They regularly host that bigot Norm MacDonald.

That thread also has a Chumley v. Enzom spat.

Oh that reminds me of a good one I forgot to post when I saw it.

Era, how did your thanksgiving go with the conservative/liberal sides of your family?

Avoided them, just like last year. It's not worth the pain and frustration.

That Lyle guy has some sort of anime avatar, he's probably one of those alt-right cucks who deserves more than a warning.

I wonder is he’s aware that by drinking, he is participating is a millennia-long cultural tradition that encourages patriarchal attitudes and ownership toward women. Every drink of his zima represents an unwanted proposition, every downed jagerbomb a groped secondary sex characteristic.

I bet he, like the rest of us, doesn't even like the taste of alcohol. He just gets off on propping up the patriarchy. He better pray I never meet him in person, I won't say what I'd do to him but trust me it would be brutal.

[benjipwns]

My family is all liberal and the best part of Thanksgiving is talking shit. So political conversations were about how ignorant Trump supporters are, and jokes about how they probably don't season their food.

oh snap

I almost didn’t go. But I was assured my father would not be there. Then he was there anyway. But he came and went and we didn’t really interact so it could have been way worse.

My mother didn’t go so that was a non-issue.

For how much anxiety I had beforehand, it went all right. But I would prefer to not go at all.

JordanN fighting the good fight for NeoGAF.com against the ResetEra Left:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=253052968&postcount=803

I'm not a person who is comfortable responding to agenda driven posts.

I do the same when it's nintendo fanboys, sony fanboys, MS fanboys, creationists, communists, alt-right, dogmatic people and bullies.

A debate only works when both sides understand you can't win on emotion alone. Otherwise, it's a waste of my time. Maybe everyone should check out what Neogaf's header has to say.

NeoGAF is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. This is a neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=253055089&postcount=880

People have said GAF was suppose to die for years but here we are in 2017. It's basically like Nintendo at this point. Always going third party.... except when it's not.

I'm fine with another website acting as containment for all the far-leftists and GAF haters to go to.

I'm a centrist who fully believes in diversity, and yet last page I'm still called a nazi who wants to drive over people. If that's the tolerance of the far-left, I don't want to imagine what I would be called on ResetEra.

"I believe government shouldn't redistribute hardworking people's money because money is not a human right..."

"OH MAH GAWD, YOU ARE WORSE THAN DONALD Trump! You literally just let another genocide happen you racist, sexist, nazi monster!!"

I posted earlier in this thread, but things got worse for me. I got into a fight with my fiance's parents last night at a restaurant. The mother got mad at me on my phone and took it away. I'm not a fucking child so I went to the bathroom to calm down before I said something I'd regret. During that time my fiancé got a ear full from her father about how he hates my Facebook cause I post news on politics daily. He's being very pro trump and close to the alt right shit from what I've heard and seen. My fiancé was about to cry and everything about the bad mouthing. What's worse is when I came back they were all apologetic and super nice to me and shit. Fucking two face assholes. Apparently my Facebook is so toxic that it's bothering her as well. All I do is post news updates and make a sentence or two on my opionion, I can't fucking help it when idiotic politicians do stupid shit. I should of known something was up when the father has been cutting deep with jokes about me lately since I came. So now all I can think about is how I try to spread what's going on in the world and I'm hated by everyone for it. I just wanna disappear.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/1376278/

You should honestly just call them out directly. Don't just complain here. Force a confrontation and call out your fiancé's father on his shitty views. Start it out on Facebook if you have to by calling out his name as someone who is too much of a coward to actually have the discussion and "appears to be demanding a safe space from non-conservative views".

Otherwise that asshole is going to continue his tactics to treat you and your fiancé like shit. Don't let that asshole do that. And don't hold back. Just fucking call him out until HE'S the one that does something he regrets so that you end up suddenly as the person with leverage.

[nudemacusers]

I mean he isn’t wrong tho. Going to the bathroom so you can give yourself a time-out is soft fuccboi shit. Not sure I would accept rough doggystyle sex from such an individual.

There's something wrong with that guy. This was posted earlier in the thread but is worth reposting. From the "do you know any conservatives" thread:

I know a few but none that I would consider good friends. One is the family landscaper who I basically don't talk to much and who I know literally is afraid of talking politics with me because the last time it happened I fucking destroyed him on his bullshit claim that MLK Jr. was a republican by handing him my laptop, demanding he provide a primary source proving MLK Jr. was a republican, and then giving him shit as he kept fumbling and failing to find any real source. This incident was oddly enough BEFORE the whole trump stuff. I just knew about his shitty politics enough to know he supports Trump. We have still spoken since but not about politics.

The second is a former boss of mine that LITERALLY supported the moment he learned he announced his candidacy (as in BEFORE he heard about the racist comments about Mexicans) and he basically went into this rabbit hole where he would just warp from this weird independent into a full-on Trump Nut. The last time I spoke with him was a few weeks after the election when there was news of Post-Trump-Win Hate-Crime-Violence and I literally drove to his house, banged on his door, showed him on my cellphone a picture of one these violent acts, told him "You fucking voted for this", and then told him that I'm glad he lost his wife years ago and I hope he dies alone for not just voting for Trump but actively defending all of Trump's bigotry. Then I left and never have spoken to him since. The reason that it escalated to that point with him and not with the landscaper is because me and the landscaper had stopped talking politics by 2014 whereas through 2015 and 2016 this former boss of mine was actively defending EVERYTHING. Not even just deflecting but outright DEFENDING everything Trump said and did.

The rest are too insignificant for me to remember.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/take-action-and-defend-net-neutrality.7519/

so we’re planning to protest at Verizon retail stores across the country on December 7, one week before the vote and at the peak of the busy Holiday shopping season.

peak holiday shopping is done at Verizon retail stores in the first week of December?

By protesting at Verizon stores, we’re shining light on the corruption and demanding that our local do something about it. Only Congress has the power to stop Verizon's puppet FCC, so at the protests we'll be calling and tweeting at legislators, and in cities where it's possible we'll march from Verizon stores to lawmakers offices.

HOW ELSE CAN I HELP? If you haven't already, there's a bot you can text, that helps you write an email or a fax, free of charge, to your senator, or governor. Text "resist" to "504-09" and it'll ask you some questions, then you're onto writing. Here is an example that we recommend:

Net Neutrality is the cornerstone of innovation, free speech and democracy on the Internet.
Control over the Internet should remain in the hands of the people who use it every day. The ability to share information without impediment is critical to the progression of technology, science, small business, and culture.

Please stand with the public by protecting Net Neutrality once and for all.

Share away! Seriously only takes a few minutes of your time. You can also find this Bot on Facebook Messenger under the name "ResistBot"

What's a state governor or "local" going to do about the FCC?

Do not takes this likely or think you can do nothing.

Okay, I won't.

[benjipwns]

If you want to send Verizon a message they understand, do what I did and switch away from Verizon. I switched to T-Mobile but there's also AT&T and Sprint.

Filed a comment with the fcc, emailed ajit pai, called my republican senator (We must focus on republicans who control the FCC, dems are already for it) several times.

Will go protest as well. I shared battle for the net and the protest on my facebook.

Ajit Pai is a traitor to the american people and I will not quietly let him destroy the internet.

Every protest, every call, every manifestation of the clear will of the american against his evil plan will help vilify him for the rest of his miserable natural life.

I like how this protest is targeting Verizon (retail stores, the employees of which will have to deal with the five people who show up) and people are talking about things like switching to AT&T. Verizon is not one of the three big broadband ISPs. That's Comcast, Charter and AT&T. With Comcast being the only one to own regular broadcasting. AT&T is the world's largest communication company. Verizon isn't even a top ten global telecom company last I knew. Is it just because the chairman used to work for Verizon? The one before worked for the entire industry:

Prior to working at the FCC, Wheeler worked as a venture capitalist and lobbyist for the cable and wireless industry, whom the FCC is now responsible for regulating, and holding positions including President of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) and CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA).

As an aside I don't think we're going to reach some of these goals:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published a National Broadband Plan in March 2010, after first soliciting public comments from April 2009 through February 2010. The goals of the plan as described on Broadband.gov are:

At least 100 million U.S. homes should have affordable access to actual download speeds of at least 100 megabits per second and actual upload speeds of at least 50 megabits per second by the year 2020.
Every American should have affordable access to robust broadband service, and the means and skills to subscribe if they so choose.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, named the plan "his top priority"

my lawyers will be filing a case with the Alabama Supreme Court over Julius' statement

So much for "enlightened" community.

And, no, I am not talking at issue at hand, but about over the top reaction, like "this show was trash, all people who were involved were trash too, because, someone involved did something wrong". I've seen such ridiculous reaction quite a few times here.

Do you really think you will receive more cookies by throwing blanket accusations?
Well, knowing this people, they probably believe this. So, it was more or less, rhetorical question.

People will take any chance to feel emotionally morally superior in a situation that is blatantly black and white/cut and dry .. because they'd be "technically right" so their emotional outrage is 'justified', see what I'm saying? Angsty teens often have these reactions.

Mmkay. So if you don't drink to reduce your inhibitions, what do you drink for?

The person I responded to asked for good reasons people do it, and all the others are frankly kind of shit.

If you need alcohol to be able to get up and dance or talk to someone you're attracted to, as people have said as much in this thread, that's a pretty good reason. If you just drink because of peer pressure or chemical addiction, those are certainly reasons, but they aren't especially good ones.
