Since when did "US leftists" not put a lot of focus on healthcare and education?  I'd so those are the 2 main topics for actual people trying to change laws or enact real change;  the "noise" online from keyboard warriors has little to do with actual political action.

Fair enough i suppose. Though i am quite skeptical of that since Bernie got basically butchered by his own party.

Stop equating the left with libruls.

I should probably visit US sometime and look at the reality.

Depends on what you mean by "most people" and also what specific group. Certain groups of activists very much behave the same online.

Well, you have the right of a lot of it. Unfortunately the left is chockful of a mixed bag of people right now. You've got the SJ.W's, you've got the "brocialists" (i.e. a type of socialist who thinks only economic reform matters and that things that impact gender, sex, or race are not important at all), you've got an entire generation who have decided that Freedom of Speech is not important despite it allowing them to air their discontent,etc. etc. Too much of this acts like oil and water. Thankfully, there's plenty of leftist organizations that recognize that identity politics is cancer going forward. But that doesn't stop the fact we still have an entire generation who don't value free speech for instance, or can make as much ruckus as they want on social media and still decide not to vote. Then you've got shit stains like Anti-Fa.

The American "left" is scattered and doesn't really represent any one viewpoint. All I know is these days it's probably best to not openly identify as left since it's a dog whistle for crazies and justice feggits.

Lol, that post has literally nothing to do with the topic at hand whatsoever other than showing an inability to discuss a topic without it being about yourself, and even worse (imo), having nothing to say but saying shit anyway just because.

It's as though my dreams crash landed and taught me nothing. C'est la vie, my friends...

Do Reset mods actually discuss bans between themselves or just do it when they feel like it?

I think at least some of them, if not most of them, don't talk to each other. Look at what happened to that recent Boogie thread as an example. I think they have general sense of the the rules, but they they uses a lot of leeway in how those rules are applied and let their biases shine through far too much. In other words, not much different from GAF just before its implosion.

[benjipwns]

You fuckers don't even have healthcare or a unified curriculum for education

Correct me if im wrong but you are a libertarian? Makes sense for you not to like it but im talking about US leftists, unless even that term has been utterly gutted to mostly be about identity politics these days.

well i meant more why would anyone, left, right, liberal, libertarian socialist, Moderate Darling™, think a unified curriculum for a hundred million individual students is a good idea? especially one decided by the Trump Administration and a GOP Congress

maybe Enlightened Yurop should show us the way to create a single one size fits all curriculum for its entire continental population first and then we hopefully still won't think about it because it's a stupid idea on its face

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the lack of anything from Nintendo today. I feel like I'm going to explide right now. Why the fucking fuck isn't Nintendo announcing the direct? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe that there isn't one coming. I want a future to believe in. I want a Nintendo direct to give me a reason to care about gaming. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought the switch was selling well?? This is so fucked.

wow this thread really needs to be tagged about all the potential spoilers it has for a hypothetical event that may happen sometime in the future maybe

[benjipwns]

like someone mentioned GTA V possibly being the reveal...how can i even be surprised about it if it they do announce it later because now it's in my mind that they could announce it and that it's what they're going to announce if they announce they're going to announce something

not to mention how let down i'll be if they don't announce it because i'll wonder why they're hiding it instead of announcing it

Can someone explain to me why US "left" keeps focusing on these shitty gender/ethnicity politics?

You fuckers don't even have healthcare or a unified curriculum for education and most of the whining is still about the above issues even though oppression Olympics is a far harder knot to solve with the countless variables that it entails.

I dunno, could be just me but it makes sense to focus on universal improvement first instead of everyone whining "me me me".

Other than a few people here quoting some rando on gaf/reset and using it to cast a wide net on "the left" as a whole, I really don't see it anywhere else IRL. It's basically rightists whining about leftists whining about rightists on a video game forum.

User warned: arguing in bad faith to belittle sexual harassment victims, making unsubstantiated generalizations about "the left"

The poster tried to actually respond based on the content of the articlle vs. posting an idiotic hot take based on having read only the subject line.

I have no idea why anyone ever does dishes.  When I started living on my own I bought a huge pack of paper plates and plastic forks and years later I haven't used them all up.

I am not joking in the least.  It's awesome.  And honestly super cheap, like I said I haven't used up what I bought in bulk.  I get plastic cups too, sometimes rinse them out and reuse them once or twice.

I'm sure it's bad for the environment, oh well.

when you have 20 people over for Thanksgiving plastic plates are what you are eating off of

[Assimilate]

I like the argument that women left programming in the 80s because of men, because it suggests that women are too sexist to stand working around men. The truth is likely an economical one. Improved choices in work that have an opportunity to succeed for women will naturally draw women out of the few spaces they had for success before. As well, the health sector booming created a lot of well paying employment for women. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case in India as well, unless you think that somehow India is a more socially forward thinking and female empowering country.

How dare you make sense. Remember you're supposed to be a 'vile' member of the bore   

Women didn't leave the field in the 80s. Before the PC revolution and video games, programming was considered largely clerical work. After the first apple personal computer comes out, and video games become a huge market, the marketing for computing devices is mostly biased toward and appeals to boys and young men. So during this explosion of computing men saturated the demographics of new people interested in the field.

Ha, ok. How many years do we wait to see females seriously start populating this field? (Asian women don't count)

remember when we all thought resetera was going to be a clown factory and were all a bit deflated when the place was initially a more measured and constructive version of GAF's puritanical insanity?

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

The genius plan of telling women they'll get raped by neckbeards if they come within 100 feet of a game or stem subject or guy who plays games isnt working? 

The problem is clearly women making their own decisions, women as a class need to stop doing things they personally want to do and find personally, emotionally or creatively rewarding. If they'd just stop making their own decisions women would be free, we need to force them to be free.

The point is, you never have to do the dishes ever again. You can just throw that shit in the bin and be done with it. Doing the dishes is for serfs, not for noblemen.

It's because they're setup as an LLC so there can't be a single person who holds all the cards and can ruin the whole thing like with NeoGAF.com LLC. Also, they're innovating the way moderation is done:

Many of the people we spoke to described ResetEra as an opportunity to redefine what moderation culture looks like from the ground up.

...

“We see this as a fresh start and an opportunity to build our own moderation culture and aren't really looking for comparisons,” Shinobi602 said. “We hope to be genuinely fair minded, reasonable and transparent. We really want to shape a positive community for everyone. A few moderators may be familiar but for the most part the staff has no connection with other forum staff.”

We'll definitely push for more warnings and leniency first and foremost. People need to have a chance to understand mistakes before slamming down an auto-banhammer. Common sense should really prevail first and foremost. If someone doesn't get the message once or twice well..

Regigigas arguments and attacks

[benjipwns]

But early members noted that as of the time of this writing, the forum is gearing up to go live between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET — around the time of Nintendo’s latest Direct. The near-simultaneous occurrence of these events isn’t lost on the community, which told Polygon that the coincidence was almost poetic in nature. After suffering through the loss of a home, lost NeoGAF members getting a new Animal Crossing game to animatedly discuss with friends on a website built in the original forum’s image seemed just right.

[benjipwns]

What's this schreier thing you guys have going on?

what do you mean "you guys"?

i think it's funny that a yet to be launched forum who has two levels of lockdown in their discord and a standing order not to engage with the outside world and has pushed off their launch every time they find out there's a GAMERGATER HIDING AMONGST THEM is talking about how "someone can write about what's going on properly" when they already successfully roped Polygon into giving them an extended sympathetic piece with absolutely zero skepticism to the story they were being fed that not only inflated the status of their admins but even signed off with a cheery note about it's poetic launch date with the only part that even hesitated was speculation that gamergate is going to attack (BUT THEY'RE READY FOR EM)

now they've let yet another reporter within their walls to help get the "real story" out

for an internet forum, a video game forum that's a spin-off of the off-topic section of another video game forum

that isn't up because...? when anyone can put a forum up in under an hour

https://forums.opencritic.com/ which "backed off in favor of ResetEra" has a thousand posts in its gaming section already, part of SteamGAF moved over there, Durante is posting in it, etc.

while we supposedly have the very content creators that invented NeoGAF all sitting on their hands for a site the Kotaku article that comes out later probably will have a line like "launch later this week" or something in it among all the cultist gibberish like the polygon piece

it's almost a foolproof plan, except for the part where they have to put up the forum eventually and face the torrential pain of reality

biggest L i've taken on the bore for sure (until Trump and his whole family gets perp-walked to Guantanamo Bay)

I cook whole pigs on a spike with an apple in its mouth. No need for pots or pans. I also just rip off a leg and eat with my hands.
