I dunno, I'm pretty creepy and I did an IT Degree.

One guy from my course is lecturing/teaching it now and he's a rapist soo....... 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Everyone worried about IT creeps when it's the sales people you need to look out for

IT people are all scum and probably read your emails.

ban site shows the ninja thread is now the third most actioned thread in board history and is only 3 actions behind 2nd place.

so many people getting banned for saying "well yeah, I'd put my marriage first too" for being sexist apparently?

 

this dude caught a week ban for sexism:

Very different. This isn’t a case of racism. This is a case of him putting his marriage first, which I would do as well. It’s not about discrimination, it’s about avoiding shit like the stupid internet gossip and mud flinging. It’s abojt priorities. If I had to choose between not putting my wife through bullshit like that and having her uncomfortable over meaningless trite lie streaming that doesn’t really matter outside our niche... I choose my wife. End of story. There are plenty of other streams. You may not agree with it, but his marriage and the way he handles it is his business and not ours.

[EightBitNate]

I expected no less

[Averon]

To ERA, having a happy, stable marriage free of click bait drama is secondary to the cause of uplifting women. They see him putting him and his wife first over female streamers as an unconscionable crime. But what is even more amazing is how they are dismissing the threat of harassment Ninja, and more importantly, his wife would go under. Which is a position extremely antithetical to ERA's history of taking online harassment seriously. If you try to dismiss the threat of harassment in any other context on ERA, you'll get a ban real quick.

Basically, Ninja refuses to make his marriage a sacrificial lamb, and they are mad about that.

Well remember they're the rejects from a board that used to tell people to dump their wife/gf over menial stuff.

What are the first and second most actioned threads?

that bizarre sexualized character thread and then arenanet.

[clothedmacuser]

A straight man cannot properly understand how to play a gay character.

Um, what? A lot of great actors who are straight have played non-straight characters, come on.


https://www.resetera.com/posts/11431885


And gays get crapped on by the mods.  Shameful.  Unless they are into getting crapped on.  I don't kink shame.

[VomKriege]

I'm sorry but when I read "actioned" all I can think of is Time Crisis. And just like in the game, red is the most dangerous color.

Even if they are due to unions, that is what the companies agree with the unions on.

I actually went to Disney Land for the first time a couple months ago (I'm more a Disney World kind of guy) and I was thinking how problematic the Jungle Cruise ride would be for Era.  It's very pro-colonialist, and depicts natives, animals, and resources in a colonizer light.  It's all about the exotic, deep, unexplored jungles and the mysterious riches and peoples there. 

The ride features animatronic figures that are dressed in tribal garb and wear ceremonial masks. While some are performing a dance, others are menacingly approaching the riverboat. These supposed cannibals are “threatening” the guests. Just like the cobras, tigers and gorillas, the natives are simply part of the scary scenery.

http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/2015/06/09/natives-are-restless-disney-s-jungle-cruise

It even features shrunken heads and a dancing parrot review featuring vocal-blackface as silly accents are performed. 



I really wanted to make a thread "I finally went to DisneyLand!" and then bring up the intrinsic racism of The Jungle Cruise, Mr. Toads Adventure and Indiana Jones but I was permed before and I can't makes threads as a junior.

[Boredfrom]

I mean, why the fuck have a twitter account where you promote yourself as a Reee mod if you are afraid of people checking out your shitty opinions and paranoia.

[benjipwns]

a lot of them seem to think non-users reading their forum posts and commenting on them elsewhere is some nefarious Russian stalking plot for GamerGate's Incel hordes

[ResetBanBot]

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Morrigan locked a thread over the idea of people getting angry about DOOM on twitter as "not matching reality" while ResetEra mods were getting angry on twitter about DOOM.

Holy shit.  Multiple people said that in the thread about doom. 

Try not to create new threads based on tweets, jokes, conspiracy theories, poor sources or yes/no questions.​

I can't wait till Kotaku or waypoint writes about the issue and people who dismiss the article are banned for "villyfing Journalism."    How is it possible to back yourself into 10+ corners like they do on Era.  And what fucking Forum bans people for dismissing journalism?.  That's fucking fascist doctrine.  Only allowed news sources can be posted and criticizing the "us" ones is bannable.

 

[benjipwns]

I like how ERA continues to add undefined rules about what "we will not host", what is worthy of discussion, what is productive discussion, how juniors are no longer equal members, etc. But none of it goes into the rules page which continues to be even more vague than NeoGAF.com's old outdated rules page ever was.

Thankfully there's always the Feedback Weekends to get these issues hammered out.

[james]

Its THEM Toads Wild Ride you disgusting transphobe

[clothedmacuser]

I stand by the idea that the gross hypocrisy is what makes old GAF and Era so fun to troll.  It would be boring to join a Lesbian Vegan Volcel site when the rules are laid out clearly and people are banned for the clear reasons.  But ol' GAF and Era are based so much on who you are friends with and known as a "voice."  It's fun to watch people prevert and distort their morals to find reasons to support the popular kids. 

Watching so called ally mods and privileged users drop their beliefs to attack "them," is a glorious study in humanity.  It must be what Philip Zimbardo felt watching his own curated chaos.

It's honestly one of my favorite rides in the park. I ride it every time I go to Disneyland 

lol, it sucks.  But all the rides and food did as well.

Disneyland is . Glad I got dragged to it N times growing up and developed a healthy immunity to its wiles.

[benjipwns]

I don't think I ever went to Disney World proper, I think we went to Hollywood Studios instead. I think thats the one with all the Lucasfilm stuff, and Honey I Shrunk The Kids and so on...that's mostly all I remember about it, that and how it was mostly depressing in its surface level presentation except for the Honey I Shrunk The Kids thing.

edit:

The playground, which opened almost a year after the film, featured 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) blades of grass, and was themed as a movie set for the giant backyard scenes from the film The playground featured scenes from the movie but also included areas that weren't explored in the film. They included:

Large ants
Explorable anthills
A spider web/maze with climbing ropes
A slide made to look like a canister of Kodak film
A giant dog nose that sprayed mist
52-foot-long (16 m) leaking water hose that sprayed
40-foot-tall (12 m) bumblebees
Jumbo plant-root mazes

It was closed in April 2016 to make room for the construction of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge on the same site.

hooray

edit2: oh, and i was like the only kid in the "Making of..." place that showed behind the scenes stuff from the movies, otherwise it was like bored parents probably killing time for their kids or whatever

Downtown Orlando in general I remember a decrepit sadness to it, but this was before Penny Hardaway came to town.

The Disney towns are way more interesting to me now than back then, especially like how they have their own police and court system and everything. I enjoy the semi-regular debate on reason about which one is closer to a legitimate state, World or Land.

Someone on one of my friends lists sent me this story they apparently read on some fan site they visit, no idea if legit but we can make dumb memes out of it anyway and it seems plausible enough.

Yesterday afternoon I met a friend at a brewery. We started chatting with a guy who was sitting near us, he said he was the first to show for a beer meet-up that was arranged on a forum, I asked what forum, he said "have you ever heard of a place called ResetERA?"

I just feigned ignorance. Another person joined him for the meet-up event, apparently there were supposed to be a dozen joiners but these two were the only ones who didn't ghost on it without bothering to tell anyone. Anyway the subject of Puerto Rico came up because I mentioned another friend of mine recently went on a business trip there, we started talking about the possible future of Puerto Rico gaining statehood or becoming independent or whatever. They both said it would be fantastic for the democrats if the island became a state because obviously the fine poor poc people of the island would naturally vote unanimously for DNC representatives to the house. For sake of argument, we stipulated that the population of the island would qualify it for 8 seats - probably not accurate based on its population but that wasn't important for the conversation.

Because they were clearly ignorant of it, I explained that there is a cap of 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and if a new state joins the union its seats would have to to be apportioned away from existing states, they wouldn't simply be added out of nothing. So even if you presumed the island would get 8 solid blue seats, they'd have to come at the cost of seats elsewhere that might be blue seats anyway. One of them simply could not grasp the concept that there was a cap on the number of reps in the House. The other one got the concept but just got hung up on "well then we can take the 8 seats from republican-held states". This one was similarly frustrated when I explained you don't just get to take them from wherever you want, they get redistributed based on population.

Have you ever explained something to someone who had a really wrong idea and they wanted to learn or at least get the concept of what you were saying? Or just wanted to change the subject but kept being friendly like a normal human anyway? Yeah, that wasn't these two hunyucks. My friend and I quickly got the pouty frowns and huffy sighing under the breath that indicated I was ruining the fun of the truthiness in their guts with my "all facts, no heart" attitude toward knowledge. To them, talking politics or world events was not what you do to gain or exchange knowledge, it's what you do because bitching about the correct enemies is fun and right to do and anyone who corrects your mistaken beliefs is doing it wrong. Eventually we left for greener pastures.
