are expats allowed to e-mail their former countries embassy or can they no longer complain due to being ex-patriotic?

Era are famously huge fans of nuance and subtext

edit:
bonus points for fucking up using the word "resorting" while dissing using a dictionary

People restoring to dictionaries are kinda ignoring actual usage, and the fact that dictionaries often omit nuance and subtext.

Restoring dictionaries to repurpose as hipster "look how smart I am" bookshelf decorations actually does ignore the original actual usage of looking up words and being so smart, so it's actually a great point there. I was able to pick up on it only through advanced analysis of the nuance and subtext.

So I was invited to this event.

Basically the tunnel is a $10 mil prototype for the hyper loop that did not deliver at all.

At the end of the presentation I shouted "Keep smokin that kush Elon" and his mom(standin in front of me lol) and grimes cracked up and he said "and on that note thanks for comin" or something like that .

I love to yell at celebrities. Yeah, you can send them mean tweets. But telling Kanye his mom would be ashamed is she saw what her saw became to his face while he's trying to eat with his family, is so much more fun.

I've read Patreon's ignited some recent controversies that may have pushed quite a few people over the edge, and not all of them are shitlords being banned, seems like a lot of people are seeing them as being way too controlling of late so I hope a good alternative does manifest

Even if someone is a shitlord I think in most cases they don't deserve to be banned from a site like Patreon

There was an alternative with the Russian :drudge subscribestar but then PayPal cut off their money flow. While I really don't care for the guys Patreon banned it is freaky how much power PayPal holds. Afaik were they also responsible for purging some of the more extreme porn from patreon.

What's the context for suggesting his subscribers check out a white supremacist channel?

The Nazi jokes he loved doing so... so fucking much in the past could be explained away by "context" (not so much his n-word "moment of anger") but dude was just like "Y'all should check out this channel that's clearly run by a neo-nazi and especially this specific video that has highly problematic things in it"

This tit for tat is infuriating because it becomes about the back and forth of outrage instead of anything else

Oh lord. You're ascribing malice to his intentions, instead of it being a mistake (which he copped to and removed the links). That's the part that makes it hypocritical. You can ascribe malice to anything if you assume bad intentions. I don't think he's a smart man, honestly. But I also don't think he's some sort of insidious nazi out to indoctrinate the youth of youtube.

That's why I like to talk about PDPs history of continued mistakes. You'd think someone who triggered the adpocalypse by doing stupid nazi shit would stop for a minute and think about suggesting a channel like that, and a video that shows the death of Heather Heyer.

I LOVE to give people the benefit on the doubt, but PDPs like 6 or 7 mistakes removed from any kind of benefit. Either way, we could simply take the time to look at each infraction and weigh each one within the context of the others and this Vox writer having two tweets (one a joke at the expense of Twitter's lax moderation) that you could take out of context does not exactly make him a hypocrite.

AND THEN even if it does make him a hypocrite, that doesn't change the fact that PDP is probably a racist.

I dunno, I guess when you're putting out multiple hours of content a day for neigh on a decade it can be hard to not make these kinds of mistakes?

This poll was a big shock to me, I originally thought that the bulk of Era were college students or fresh-outta-college young 20's... I'd have expected that those in their 30's would have a slightly more nuanced view of the world, and have aged against their edgy hot takes, but nope, guess not.

Any of the dumb edgy jokes would be forgiven if he was a progressive darling. It's the same stupid edgy shit that Count Dankula got got for. Let people make dumb jokes. Stop going full outrage on shit that in context is meant to be a joke. It's all fucking stupid and entirely the fault of regressives like this vox journo.

He's allowed to criticize all right. But others are likewise allowed to point out the hyprocrisy, and it also loses a lot of punch when people throw out "he's a naaaaziiii" accusations when they should instead watch out for the skeletons in their own closets.

These folks often talk a lot of the talk, but they sure as fuck rarely walk the walk.

So assuming it was a mistake, what should he have done to make amends for that mistake?
Put out an apology video, explain how and why he made that mistake, and edit the original video containing the mistake to remove any implied endorsement of someone elses channel?

Because thats literally what he did.

I mean, you might not know that, because the mods were quick to edit that topics title into what it is now, but not so quick to update with a follow up.

But you and I both know that doing that is not enough for era consensus, that this will be brought up in every future topic about him ad infinitum, and realistically, there is nothing he can ever do that will ever not have him denounced on general principle immediately.

When Putin dies Russia is going to completely fall apart and likely devolve into a Civil War as he’s the only thing keeping a lid on the various oligarchic factions vying for power. They’re completely fucked and most Russians know it.
When Obama mentioned "clinging to guns or religion" he forgot the third and fourth ones: Opioids.and Racism.

Transitioning directly to (small-r) republican democracy in countries with no real history of it has seemed to be a massive mistake when it's been attempted in the past few decades.

Should have reinstated the Kaiser.

It's not for me to defend Nate since his takes are bullshit and he *really* needs to stay in his lane, and I obviously agree with Black Twitter's take on his take. But. His point was not to defend Tucker, but to note that short term boycotts that lead to uncritical ad pulling could be weaponized against liberals as well. Obviously a lot of that is nonsense since only one 'side' is spouting nazi bullshit, but it is at least worth noting that a couple cases of gamergate-led railroading have *already* created those exact situations.

Again, Nate is not someone I think worth defending, but the underlying point is at least worth observing in a place with a bit more nuance than Twitter can deliver.

We've already seen something similar with James Gunn's firing.

That one really only took hold because Disney can't touch that material with a 10 foot pole because of their image. Almost anything else wouldn't have worked.

- I may humbly want, if you'll pardon me, to respectfully suggest the possibility that liberals could also be targeted by boycotts and sudden social media campaigns and perhaps we shouldn't always be so quick to go for that.
- Nah don't worry. Can only happen in some freak perfect storm situations.

That Pamela Anderson thread is sexist as fuck.

Guess ERA doesn't care about women unless they are drawn or made out of polygons. :expert
Pamela Anderson is the real life woman closest to that ideal.

I mean, would you trust someone that did those things to Tommy Lee?

Tommy Lee, Brett Michaels and Kid Rock. She's like a walking, talking petri dish of STD's.
