A secret high level play is when the same exact posters launch fire at Bernie or whoever else for never passing anything in Congress, then turning around and already predicting what AOC will accomplish in her first term.

Or talking about how much she accomplished by going on a video game stream promoting a scam run by an insane British woman.

[benjipwns]

There was a thread in poliera where they basically admitted they all like Beto because he lost against Ted Cruz by more than polls expected but less than they expected six months earlier before anyone had heard of Beto.

[benjipwns]

One other one I like is how they're convinced that Warren is doomed in the DEMOCRATIC primaries because of the native american thing. But the fact that his real name is ROBERT FRANCIS O'ROURKE and he's Irish/Welsh is verboten to bring up.

Checks out, because apparently they hate Bernard so much because he lost by less than they expected 6 months earlier.

AOC needs to ditch her chief of staff, ASAP. He's all for that and more. Makes AOC look like a centrist shill lol

Wow, I looked up her CoS and he's hot af.

we've had a shitload more actual policy discussion in Poliera in the last couple threads than all of OT combined

[benjipwns]

AOC is good but she needs to distance herself from Justice Dems who are basically going to primary anyone they feel like - from moderate darlings to people with liberal voting records. Won't be surprised to see them go after Hakeem Jeffries too in 2020.

AOC needs to ditch her chief of staff, ASAP. He's all for that and more. Makes AOC look like a centrist shill lol

According to Justice Democrats, their highest priority is to effectively eliminate the role of money and conflicts of interests in politics, and the group's only litmus test is that candidates decline to accept money from PACs. They wish to pass a constitutional amendment to "put an end to Washington corruption and bring about election reform".[5] They support the idea of publicly funded elections, banning Super PACs as well as banning private donations to politicians and campaigns. In addition, they advocate the reinstatement of provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and a ban on gerrymandering for partisan gain. As a core policy, any candidate running with Justice Democrats must pledge to refuse any donations from billionaires or corporations. They plan to call a constitutional convention.

In addition, their platform encourages many progressive priorities,[5][21] [5][22] such as:

Creating a new infrastructure program called the "New New Deal".
Discontinuing arms sales to countries that violate human rights such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Enacting a federal jobs guarantee, which would promise all Americans a job paying $15 per hour plus benefits.
Ending the death penalty.
Ending the practice of unilaterally waging war, except as a last resort to defend U.S. territory.
Ending the War on Drugs in favor of legalization, regulation, and taxation of drugs, and pardoning all non-violent drug offenders and treating all drug addicts.
Ensuring free speech on college campuses and supporting net neutrality.
Ensuring universal education as a right, including free public college and university education.
Ensuring universal healthcare as a right.
Abolishing ICE.
Stopping any reductions to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and establishing single-payer universal healthcare.
Stopping anthropogenic climate change through an ecological revolution and upholding the United States' participation in the Paris Climate Agreement.

i am getting tired as fuck of these motherfucking centrists who refuse to seize the means of production

[benjipwns]

I get the cynicism ( it is politics after all) but idk how anyone can look at AOC and not smile and be full of , dare I say it, hope

The only black mark right now is the Justice Dems.

Those fucks need to go away.

In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won their respective primary elections. Seven of these candidates won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal.

[benjipwns]

You know as grateful as I am for leftists and AOC and people like her pushing us further left socialism isn't going to work as long as human behavior and asymmetric information exist.

That's why you build a system with those flaws accounted for and regulate the shit out of everything.

I definitely broke my dad's brain when I explained UBI and socialism to him a couple years back. He just couldn't process the idea that people don't need to work or that we should strive for a society where that's possible, partially because that's what we've had to do forever, partially because of GOP propaganda against poor people on welfare, and partially be sure of religion (the idea that man must work because Adam sinned blah blah he who does not work shall not eat etc etc).

But he couldn't help but admit that it sounded like a good idea.

Incelsheet having a breakdown so bad in that Ghostbusters thread she basically wrote the same reply to two different posters 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/leslie-jones-heavily-criticizes-announcement-of-ghostbusters-3.94862/page-17#post-17108224

Reminder she suffered extreme racial and sexist abuse, abuse so bad Twitter actually had to step.in and ban permanently Milo, a ban they, unlike almost all others, they never walked back. The torrent of utter depraved abuse that was inflicted on her for being in a fucking movie 100% is the framework which this reaction comes from.

So to call her spoiled is abhorrent. You'd probably not have the strength to face what she faced and keep going. So yeah calling her a spoiled brat is pretty low.

I think the millions of dollars in salary and inability to lose my job no matter what I do at SNL would get me over the mean tweets that I could just look away from the screen nicca like close your eyes nicca hahahaha

[benjipwns]

why would the abuse be the framework to understand it through, when Jones herself doesn't even hint at it? just seems upset that she's not in the sequel because she's stupid to me

she even tried to tag in the other actors (most of whom got similar online abuse) and they all noped out of the thread lol

[BIONIC]

Benji, please do a full academic study on how unfunny and pathetic Fat4all is. Thanks.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/viggo-mortensen-discusses-if-its-right-for-green-book-to-have-a-white-director.94941/

So many "yikes" reactions but no one even knows what they're supposed to be upset about.

Also Slayven really needs to look up how to spell "hopeful"

[benjipwns]

They had their chance and blew it (mostly that hack Paul Feig). Your improvisation comedy failed miserable for this movie. I know the actors are not responsible for the mess soley but geez at some point they should´ve asked themself "are vagina farts really something that should be in a Ghostbuster movie?". The Ghostbuster reboot is an abomination of a comedy film and should be banned for life.

Wtf

Banned for life?

Get a grip.

[BIONIC]

Also Slayven really needs to look up how to spell.

Fixed

[benjipwns]

Welcome to Resetera where comments like "Yikes", "Oof", and "Not a good look" are considered insightful commentary

You people need to start explaining why something is bad instead of going "canceled", "yikes" and "oof".

You look like fucking idiots.

And don't go off saying: "If I have to explain why this is wrong...yikes", because that bullshit won't fly.

I couldn't agree more. Those posters are turning this place into a parody of itself.

woof

Edit: Guess that is tangential to the point

[benjipwns]

Monique Judge, a columnist for The Root, stated the film was historically inaccurate in its portrayal of the Jim Crow south. She said that the film "is definitely problematic" and fails to reflect "just how bad it was for blacks who traveled through and lived there." She said the film fails to convey the "gripping fear that black people feel even today whenever they drive down those dark country roads at night—let alone in 1962, when the film is set.

So the problem is that this comedy film didn't stop and have the characters beaten half to death every ten minutes?

Don laments to Tony that his affluence prevents him from identifying with people of his race while his race prevents him from being accepted by other white people, making him feel truly alone in the world.

which Slayven calls a

feel good racism movie

[Momo]

There was a forum I used to go to a long time back where there was this one chick always taking the most offended and annoying opinion on everything, she got relentlessly trolled and doxxed to an extreme degree (i regret that I was no different back then) a bunch of people got their accounts suicided arguing with her and flaming her. At some point the mods realized it's just better to ban her from the forum for her own mental health or whatever and she was permed and I hope now living a good life. I wonder when/if reeee mods will get to the point where they purge some of these no lifers for their own good. 

[agrajag]

but without excel padding out their threads the forum is going to be a wasteland

[BisMarckie]

I have a Ghostbusters t-shirt, which granted I don't wear much, but I basically don't wear it in public anymore because of the association with the fanbase is kind of embarrassing

Stay safe

https://www.resetera.com/threads/should-we-be-more-supportive-of-indie-and-aa-games-and-developers-yes-i-think-we-should.94983/

Compared to previous gens, indie (and AA) games and studios are on the rise nowadays. But that's not always a good thing to have. With more games being developed and published, there will be more competition in the market. The problem is, indies and some smaller scope (AA) games don't really have the means to promote their games the same way as blockbuster AAA ones with commendable marketing budgets. Besides budget, they also don't have well-known brand identity. Unlike AAA games, most outlet and gaming sites won't rush to write articles and videos every week to talk about indie and lesser known games. It's up to us.

But why?
Many successful businesses, including video game studios, started from the bottom. Some indie devs show promising prospects, and if they can continue to grow with one successful game after another, they might be the ones who will provide us AAA games in the next few years. Moreover, many AAA devs are straying away from traditional game design and philosophy nowadays, everything is open world and service games. You wouldn't want that, right? Meanwhile, indies and smaller games still offer the traditional gaming experience, single player which you can finish without having to worry about microtransactions, weekly updates and such. They might be the ones who will replace today's AAA studios sometime in the future.

What can we do?
Obviously, you can buy their games. This is the most direct but not really a budget-friendly way to support them. But worry not, there's another way, which is the power of the Internet. There's 2 kinds of marketing that I know of, paid and organic marketing. Paid is what most big publishers do (though some smaller ones, even indies do this too). But the 2nd kind of marketing is what we can do. It's simple, when you find an interesting indie/unknown game, share it everywhere. If you have a social media account(s), you can share the game there. The more followers you have, the better. If you have accounts in various video game boards (like Era), you can also post a thread about any news the game had. Yes, basically it's like we treat AAA games here regularly.

You saw some news about new trailer of some game, you create the thread about it. If there are some impressions or previews being posted online, you post a thread about it to compile them or share them on your timeline. So, why can't we do the same for indie and other smaller games? Yes, there's very high chance that your post will be ignored. But that's fine, as replies and activities are not the main goal of your post. What really matters is the impressions. For example, your thread might only get 5k views, but what if 1% of those ended up buying the game? That's already 50 copies you contributed to support the devs. And it doesn't stop there, someone who saw your post might re-share the game on their timeline or other sites, which will lead to more impressions. Every little action you make to support the game may help the devs one way or another.

Basically, I think it's the time for us to be more positive and supportive towards indies and smaller games and promote them however we can, even if you ended up not buying them. Every little thing we do would mean a lot to them.

White people don't really get shot by the police here. Or at least you can run around and cause mayhem with the White Guy Permabuff and you probably won't get shot unless you're threatening a cop or hostage at gunpoint.





Oh, yeah, 4 years would be a slap on the wrist for a repeat offender like this guy. I'd say give him a decade minimum before he's eligible for parole, but I'm no judge.

[Uncle]

You are right I don't live there. And no I don't know your history. But what I do know is that MAGA really is not synonymous with Nazism. And if you really think that you are giving very little respect of all the victims that has died and suffered under the Nazis.Maybe it is closer to KKK. But don't just put a nazi sticker on it. That to me is disrespectful of all the victims and suffering that has come from Nazi's.

You're making it seem like there are levels to atrocities when they're all just vile, so this seems like pedantry.

Could you explain this better?

It boils down real simple: Wrong is wrong.
