But when he went after popgaf it all started unravelingThe big community nukes were what, football, NBA, Rockband and Popgaf? I guess FigureGaf too, but that wasn't very big. Am I forgetting any? The site had no issue surviving all of those and it probably would have survived for longer without Tyler's shower escapades coming out. But then you have to take into account how many people didn't even care about the shower shit and just needed any kind of excuse at all to burn the whole place down.If something like that happens to Era, it'll probably need a different kind of scandal to give dissatisfied people an excuse to lash out and cause the place to meltdown seeing as Cerium likely doesn't have that kind of dirt on him, and the only other admin generating any significant resentment from posters just stepped down. We definitely know those people are there based on the polls, but they suck it up otherwise.

Thread : Trump refuses to release his tax returns. Dems demand the White House.
Fuck everything about this. Fuck the GOP. Fuck the Democrats. Fuck everyone. Fuck this country for it.
====================~!~The Atlantic: How to Counter Trump's FascistsMondy: I feel like this is the perfect example of just how insane the Republican party is in how openly caving on racism to Trump has led to some very, very, harmful trends in that party. Imagine the GOP doing the same thing over and over again with the tea party wing of the party.-----Zelas: A very good article detailing how the straw man approach to climate change has really fucked this up.-----Yerba_Sutra: Good article. I just feel like it's a bit too easy to view the GOP's actions as "this is just another step in the right direction" when they're actively helping kill climate change because they never bothered to actually do anything to combat it. I also feel like the Republican Party has been entirely complicit in perpetuating all this harmful shit.-----ElectricBlanketFire: "The Obama Socialist Party"-----DarthSontin: I agree that it's not a good strategy.-----Brinbe: Yup. This is the race to win the future.-----Gwenpoolshark: I mean, it would absolutely be great if they didn't even try.-----Pwnz: This is why revolutions like Bernie and the Democratic Party have to be stopped. Shutting the door off to foreign powers enough them already. No one really wants democracy in an America.-----Angelus Errare: The party of the people, as we know. Not backing down to your beliefs.-----Taki: This is exactly why revolutions like the one the US were able to demonstrate. Simply because you don't want to be a part of a dictatorship party.-----
~!~Why isn't there more POC’s? Deleted member 1258: This is something that in the last few years, I've seen take on more underrepresented groups in society: women, minorities, LGBTQ, etc. But what about POC's that aren't represented by the current system? How is it that more don't want to go through the pain of having to live paycheck to paycheck with absolutely no job prospects, and even if they do, don't get paid a living wage, and can't afford to live below the poverty line and are stuck in a system that gives them a pass? And why is there a stigma against mentioning this to others? ----- she_esh: I feel that the first one is even more complicated. ----- Hollywood Duo: You just know it’s going to be a rude awakening when you aren’t first elected to office. ----- Sinfamy: Because of course it is. ----- Chojin: It's been like that. ----- Fat4all: it's definitely a real issue in america ----- Deleted member 1258: Yeah, I feel like it's just been happening for a while now. I'm not even a born-in-COUNTROMINED-COUNTRY adv atm, but I do not want to give up my thread ideas just cause you know I'm not always blunt with myself. ----- Heromanz: Because white privilege ----- DosaDaRaja: The media, politicians, and the oligarchs that make the country a better place are not going to care about black or brown folk. ----- Deleted member 1258: This is the one thing I've realized that many people don't realize is that the current system is not working -----

He's not threatening the press he's just trying to protect his business dealings.

~!~Mueller’s getting involved in Manafort's finances.Skinny Pete: I feel like we need a thread about this. Manafort's finances are under control of Mueller right now. It's not crazy crazy that Trump is getting involved.The money he made in Manafort's debt is getting drained and Manafort's current nest egg is starting to collapse.Manafort owed money to Trump once he left Cambridge Analytica.-----SlickShoesRUCRazy: I still believe Manafort's fucked.-----Randomly Generated: He's got a lot of money and is panicking.-----asmith906: I hope Mueller is watching.-----Muffin: But I heard that he's not under arrest-----FreezePeach: I mean, this is a ruse. Money doesn't run out faster the more of it you use it in a court of law.-----Transistor: He's fucked. There's no way this is real.-----Conciliator: it's always the lawyers trying to get the best deal we can before they know what's going on-----Thorn: But I heard he turned himself in.-----FreezePeach: I don't believe this. He and Manafort's lawyers are trying to get the best deal they can before the investigation finds out they are all involved.-----
It's a "rebuttal" with such a nasty implication that I don't get why it isn't called out more.

If a restaurant throws a black person out for being black, it's not that surprising that people wouldn't be going "yeah but just look at all the black folks they didn't throw out!"Nobody gets a cookie for not being a dick to trans people. That's just being decent.

User Banned (Permanent): Troll account
a few people who worked with the author in question and based on their previous experience with the author this is par for the course. No reason to harass/go after someone of course, but it seems like the politics come before writing/truth once again. The worst part is this just gives more ammo for people against credible writers (even at Kotaku) like Schrier and (my personal favorite) Tim Rogers and the like. There are good people under the Kotaku banner that don't always get it right, but they usually handle it way better than doubling down, blaming their editor, and then fleeing the scene. Apparently they were told not to publically respond which makes sense, but still a shame this was so terribly handled and then the site just left the unaltered article up and just went "sorry guys we made the change promise but we need the clicks and can't get this damn edit button to go through" lol.
The reality is most people, even those with 10 followers, post for likes
Frankly I expect Instagram as well as Twitter to essentially crash and burn if and when it happens. The driving force behind both is the like system
Remember when people were suggesting Era add the ability to like posts? lol
I picked up a girl once at he house and as she was leaving her house she was screaming at her dad about she is tired of his friends and his shit as well as other colorful language. I asked if everything was alright and she replied that she just needs to get fucked to forget. We had a nice dinner and then I dropped her off at home, don't want that baggage.

Hillary and Trump are basically the same,My Date, 2016I was tipsy at the time, but that shit sobered me up real quick. No amount of booty was gonna save that date.
When a woman says: I just need to get fucked to forget, you don’t take her out to dinner. What a waste of time and money. You fuck her in your car.
Two of mine: after writing for a while, we wanted to meet the day of the world championship finale after the game - went into town, didn't see her right away and got a beer outside. Since the place was incredibly busy with drunk people (we won) I looked around for a bit and saw a girl pissing right into the street. Turns out she was my date. She got completely drunk during the 20-30 minutes we didn't talk and also hooked up with a guy during that time - found out when I talked to her to find out what was going on. Talked to the guy about the game for about 5 minutes and went my way. Later that night I received a text from her about how it was a pity that we missed each other and if I still wanted to meet for a beer, she was game..Another date - during the first 5 minutes walking she pointed to a fuzzy dog laying on the ground and told me she would love to flay him. She didn't mean it in a weird humorous way. Noped out of that date really fast.
Yep, that was a solid 6 minute date. Oh and she proceeded with: after that I'd love to eat a pizza of your stomach.
I wonder what red flags I missed when I woke up to find her on top of me, biting my chest and neck. Had bitemarks/blood all over the next morning. Didn’t dare to do much to defend myself since I was living in a shared apartment with strangers. The girl was supposed to sleep in my friends room after the date but got locked out by her.
Oh yeah, forgot, I went out with an Indonesian girl as well, on the second date she sat me down and had a video reel of some TV show where these presenters were eating octopus alive being chopped up into little pieces and another one where they ate cats and said "would you try these foods?" Then she says after a long awkward silence "I wonder what humans taste like, don't you wonder that too?" I stood up and said I'm out of here then she said I need to catch the train so I walked her back then revealed she had a guy in Scotland who was too quiet for her and going through a list of other guys she's dated who weren't good enough then goes even more psycho when I say bye (obviously just to be nice) and she says "yeah, bye" in a very nasty way, kept on repeating "bye" in a really nasty tone of voice as I walked away too. Totally creepy lady.

User Banned (5 Days): Hostility against staff.Just to respond to everyone that responded to me: it's this cynicism we Democrats seem to have towards our potential candidates that gives me a sense of gloom. I was responding to the OP, which I figured was obvious. It seems no one is good enough, they all have problems, etc.Also, some mod needs to learn what trolling actually is. And not be a mod.
Because they are propagandists, that is what they do and their telos on said propaganda is to influence the mind of young indivinduals to not only accept who they are, but actively celebrate it!
I don't want to alarm you all, but it may potentially be the case that the volunteer staff is not of the highest quality.
