River Of Slime |OT| Mission: Impossible

[benjipwns]

Evilore knew his forum's value was in not rocking the boat too much because its clout was tied up in its long status more than any specifics. The gaming side rules reflected this tension. So you had leaks, but not scans. Bans for gaming "piracy" but no other kind. It bit at industry people in obvious cases of failure, but looked the other way on not too blatant shilling/defense forces.

That's why his reaction to bish and besada was so fierce. He was probably upset with himself during his year plus of being totally checked out (except for Amir0x's arrest) for not paying attention as they actually undermined the whole gig by trying to "cultivate" the userbase into something with ideological goals.

ResetERA.com's entire problem has been squaring this circle, especially as the OT becomes more and more ravenous as its ideological goals are enforced, even while staffing their mods up through the OT's discord base. While hoping it doesn't crash down on the gaming side too hard as that's the obvious only profit center. But the only way they apparently know how to do this is not to scale back their War on Nazis but instead to try and suck up as hard as possible to industry figures. Even ones as lame as Hobbes and brainchild and Patrick Klepek. Or IGN, even in the stupidest instances like when they were cracking down on people spreading that dude's plagiarism. In part because that's how shinobi, Nibel and others got their clout, being on Twitter all day.  They don't really know of any way to attract gaming people other than what they got from being "the official spin off" of NeoGAF.com a year and a half ago. And the admins themselves barely tweet about the forum when they could source every tweet back to it just to drive traffic from their followers.

They couldn't even keep Emily Rogers in an irrelevant position for show. Though she seems to use the forum's "Nintendo Direct Speculation" thread for dumping the chaff of her rumor mongering since that's key to her whole hustle. The best part and probably the only thing I needed to point out to show their industry status is how she doesn't show up to threads about her own articles anymore: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nwr-could-a-switch-vr-related-announcement-be-approaching-rumor.99974/

Tbf, I think he just means he wonders if the allegory is intentional.

Strange literally says he went forward in time to find out how to stop Thanos, then dramatically hands over the Time Stone after spending the entire film proclaiming the necessary refusal. It's the one deus ex machina from the Infinity Gems not used in the comics because it's quite a bit on the nose. If it has nothing to do with how Disney's Marvel's Endgame resolves, I'll give you that guys house.

Obviously that's how the story beat will go. I'm just guessing here, but I think he's talking about an allegory/message of basically "Look to the future, for if you look to the past you'll only end in failure." It's an r/im14andthisisdeep level allegory, but I think that's what he's talking about, and it certainly might not be the intention of the writers to convey that message.

Or just not think about it and watch it in a month.

I don't think about the Last Jedi and how that fucking movie plot could have been told in 90 minutes and nothing would have been lost. Fucking Casino scene.

Think you're reading way too much into that ResetERA.com post. Nobody would take a Markus, McFeely and Russo Brothers film's deliberate scene scaffolding that seriously. It's not like this is a Zach Snyder film.

like you can say so much shit on reset and get away but the moment you imply other posters are astroturfing, usually for sony specifically they either warn you or ban you. no one caught bans for linking thq to the mosque shooting but they ban for this shit?

That guy above didn't even quote or say anything to anyone in particular lmao.

i bet theres like one mod who's paid sony astroturfer cleanup crew

I will bet my house that more than one of the members of the special counsel is sitting back right now seething that two years of their work is being recapped like a shitty book report compiled from reading cliff notes and one of them will be coming out this week with a giant leak that will completely change the narrative.

There's a bunch of threads like that on Resetera;  it's like YouTuber's with 100s of videos all with a few views.

now wait here, people can't SELF-PROMOTE with their own threads on ResetERA.com, that's one of their very clear rules, NO SELF-PROMOTION

you even get banned for three days if you make a thread about your own podcast/articles

[PogiJones]

I took the bait. 

[PogiJones]

It's alright, benji's reading comprehension hasn't been up to par lately. Probably because Kirblar is gone.

Your post was actually vague.

[close]

[benjipwns]

I think your comment works both ways. Look at the thread Pogi posted, that dude's just a fan with that effort? You see the same thing with a lot of the YouTubers they follow and make threads for, aside from the popular (for now) ones it's a lot of low view count YouTubers. That NintendoEra Podcast that doesn't even tweet when it makes new episodes, just gets someone to post threads for them, etc.

You don't criticize The Party. It's one of their favorite corporations.

this is why you always look at four pages of post history kids

also way to post that guys PM in a way that totally exposes who he is and that he visits a Hate Site regularly to get his marching orders much like the violent transphobe with corrupt moderator protection marrec and admin doxxer Hecht

I should make a ResetERA.com account to get all these hott PMs from our moles, do you think they accept cock.li e-mails?

I was going to suggest one regarding the Soviet Union as better since they aren't slaves but a "self"-oppressed peoples but considering their obsession and habit for labeling their opponents maybe the Pogi Jones Transport would work.

[PogiJones]

Doesn't quite work, I'm leading them closer to TVC

TVC won't murder them in the digital realm only the analog.

And only if they deserve it.

Did you really thought you can like buy a presidency in the US? Like Putin gave some dark money and elected Trump?

Sorry, you can do this but in Zimbabwe. I cannot believe any single liberal/ democrat really believed that. Too many hoops in FBI, CIA, the voting itself etc.

Not surprised someone who comes from the place that invented white supremacy would tar Hillary Clinton supporters who got ads on Facebook like this.

[Transhuman]

If Trump wins in 2020, imagine how many sulky self-righteous Democrats would have to not have voted?

[ResetBanBot]

Consider that it might just be a vocal minority, it doesn't help that oppositional views are actively deplatformed. You can't really accurately measure anything through (social) media.

The Mueller probe failed because it was looking a the wrong person. Trump isn't the Russian deep state agent, he's to stupid to be one.

Bernie is.

let's have some Ban Bot Select Cuts:

User Banned (1 Day): Trolling across a series of posts

For everyone panicking about 2020, there’s still hope.

A good strategy for winning in 2020

1. TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES (“It’s the economy, stupid”).

2. Select a progressive candidate and promote issues like universal healthcare and the Green New Deal.

3. Don’t depend on the media to boost your message, they only work for themselves and their ratings (remember the empty Trump podium?).

4. Embrace Obama with regards to the rhetoric of “hope.”

5. Don’t make it just about being anti-Trump. Have a vision for an ideal progressive society.

User Warned: Self promotion

CRICEY!

General Kuranosuke Matsumoto is HAAARD to stealth. I worked on a strategy to kill all the guys around him anthem sneak a deathblow in effectively reducing his vitality by 50%.

Hope this helps!

Is there a site akin to imgur or gfycat that allows for sound? And if so, can we embed it here?

[FStop7]

Holy shit, Mueller report is the basic " This shit ain't my problem, I am out"
 

people losing their minds

I for one am absolutely shocked that when a straight white male lifetime republican investigated a straight white male republican and then handed off the findings of the investigation to not one but two straight white male lifetime republicans, they found everything was very legal and very cool.

Of course the imbeciles at Resetera didnt connect the dots that the "FBI full of white supremacists who want Hillary to lose" is in fact the very same "FBI who will investigate Trump and save us all"

If it was a team of Republican hacks I’d be reee’ing, too.  But it’s a politically diverse group. 

That said, the report should be released in its entirety.

While I agree with you for the most part I don't think we need to be policing peoples reactions. People can only carry so much weight before it starts to hurt. For example, imagine if someone is an immigrant from Mexico, and every day it seems like we're hitting a new low as far as dehumanizing them and all the shitty rhetoric and policy, we can't fault those people for feeling down about it one bit.

I mostly imagine the type of people who post all day on ERA and I don't really see that they have so much to carry but heh.

You guys should really try and live in a fucked up country to get a perspective. Being left-wing, let alone anti-person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation, in Israel is pretty much the definition of constant depression and hopelessness.

And by try I mean don't try. You guys have hope for 2020. And please elect someone who'll know NOT to back my country's quick descent into fascism, thanks!

Truly fucked up country? Do you know how many black men have been murdered by American police with no repercussions?

If Noam Chomsky knows how to send a text message, I'll be surprised. If Noam Chomsky understands the dynamics of 2019 internet shitsmears and internet shitsmearing, I'll vote for a radical leftist independent candidate for president who has no chance to win and will only siphon votes from a legitimate Democratic contender against Trump.

I think his intention is clear enough when he decided to bothside his own investigation: Trump is not guilty but not not-guilty either. Come on dude, grow a backbone.

Any self respecting progressive icon doesn't appear on Tucker Carlson.

He's an opportunist and anything to hurt American Imperialism even if working with people FAR worse...like Russia.

(Who thinks of themselves as icons ?)

I'm actually fine with that comparison.

Ignoring Chomsky and Greenwald are pretty much advantageous for not getting lethal doses of whataboutism

Donna Brazile tried to warn us about the Communists !

Pro tip, if the person is throwing hot takes and has their account hidden so you can't view and search post history, they are trolls

No.

I can find my critique's of the liberal world from the likes of AOC, Omar or other intelligent critics vs a clear Russian Apologist and whataboutism master.

Greenwald is shit and you know it. Stop defending a known bad faith actor.

SAVE US AOC.

Now people who have been voicing doubts about this media-enabled hysteria for years can stop being called Russian bots

 

[benjipwns]

Trump is like a viral malware that has broken our democracy. The only way to fix things is to take this to the streets now.

So when do we march on Washington to demand the full report is released?

Copies of this tweet should be printed and sent to the Mueller-fetishists and Yas Queen psychos.  And to every RE mod.

https://twitter.com/sarahkendzior/status/1109239474792345600

This is where RE (and GAF before it) really fails its users:  the way it’s run encourages (demands) idolization of individuals, of brands, of products.  Independent thinking is discouraged through dogpiles and moderators browbeating users for swimming upstream even when the opinions being expressed aren’t hateful or bigoted.  That’s the complete opposite of being progressive.

OTHER-DIMENSIONAL PRESENCES IN THIS EPISODE:

Child Souls: Team Awakening is working to rescue souls of dead children from the even deeper denser dimensions. These souls pass through the Host Bodies at the level of Earth and its Environs on their way to the Light.

Search For Truth Community: The Search for Truth Pillar is the command center for the effort to Manifest the Divine Plan. It is staffed by a team of presences from multiple dimensions who are assigned to constantly search for Truth and upgrade the standards of Integrity to that which will work to Manifest the Divine Plan. Our intention is to Manifest the Divine Plan, no matter what anyone else does or doesn't do. Team Awakening is the leadership team of the Search for Truth Community. The SFT energy pillar travels through many dimensional levels, intersecting with host lives in larger and smaller dimensions.

Wiser Minds Above: Regardless of our Dimension of Origin, there are always Wiser Minds above all of us. These presences send down guidance, instruction, and information to those presences who are looking up and listening.

DIMENSIONAL LEVELS IN THIS EPISODE:

Even Deeper Denser Dimensions: There are billions of dimensions smaller than the Ground Zero dimension, contained within our cells, molecules, atoms, and smaller sub-atomic particles. The living conditions in these dimensions are horrific, due to the suppressions of larger dimensions, including our own.

Failed Zone / Contaminated Zone: The Failed Zone, also known as the Contaminated Zone, is a contaminated series of dimensions that reaches as far as members of Team Awakening have been able to reach, see, or connect to for the past several years. Lies, ingratitude, selfishness, and dodging responsibility have infected all presences within this zone.

(8:33) Ground Zero: The Ground Zero dimension is the dense dimension in which the Lynn-Life and Jamie-Body-Mind host lives are located. "Ground Zero Planet Earth" is the specific dimensional level and planet on which the Angelic Initiative videos are filmed. Ground Zero is inside the Contaminated Zone.

THE ANGELIC INITIATIVE:

The Angelic Initiative is a Multi-Dimensional team of Host Presences and Soul Presences working together to Manifest the Divine Plan, no matter what anyone else does or doesn't do. The two Ground Zero vessels of The Lynn-Life and the Jamie-Body-Mind are the anchor for this effort (also known as the Search for Truth effort) at the level of Earth and its Environs. These vessels channel Presences in many different dimensions, using techniques taught in the Lightworkers Healing Method (http://www.lightworkersmethod.com/).
