It's not a mob if the person deserves it.

Or when they don't since that doesn't happen much?

Red Mercury would totally be the guy in a 1940's lynch mob who later says he wasn't there but "actually, that time it was social justice.  Someone had to do it."

Do you think we could get Zoe Quinn to cancel riotous?

Red Mercury would be fucking Joe McCarthy asking why you're propagating communism by trying to stop him rooting it out

he should have recited shias plagiarized apology word for word

[clothedmacuser]

What makes you so certain of that? It's not like mob mentality doesn't exist

I have not seen proof otherwise, if you show me the reason in every instance people speak up is mostly because of mob mentality, versus naturally agreeing with a consensus based on their personal convictions, I would reexamine my position.

Literally the next post.

I'm not denying mob mentality is a thing, but is it the sole or majority factor is the question, and also categorizing people as a "mob" is a convenient way to dismiss what they are saying, I would rather examine if how they feel is genuine, or if they raise any good points that could be examined, rather than just asserting it's just a mob so it's inherently bad for some reason. Ithink it's a shitty generalization that just dismisses contrary opinion.

I just realized that if Joe McCarthy targeted homophobes or apartheid supporters many people would find his actions acceptable.

Y'all see that Gears 5 has pride flag skins for banners?

I dig it.

Fallout 76 does too. I use it, but it doesn't piss people off like I'd hoped.

Maybe because we all know you're a homo already.

Well to begin with i guess we need to examine whether Joe's feelings towards commies was genuine hatred. Because if they were, obviously redmerc would readily accept even the anti communist blacklists, anything else would just be inflammatory dismissal on a sensitive subject with a history of history.

by all indications he had severe arthritis and used dry ice to treat it, which is a real thing, but unfortunately also was on medication that made him sleepy, and fell asleep for 6 hours with his hands in the ice

there is no evidence that he did it on purpose to get paws, any positive attitude seems to be about putting on a brave face in a really awful situation, he is actually as distressed as you might expect

nothing has materialized showing any amputee fetish or anything like that

Riotous, why do you love Resetera so much?

I don't?  It's okay;  I prefer The Bore in every way for instance other than Resetera having more posters thus being a better source for any given news item.

We all generally feel the same way about the group of posters that get made fun of in this thread;  my opinion is that they are a smaller percentage of the forum than most of The Bore leads on.   For instance look at the cancel culture thread you guys are talking about;  it's full of people saying cancel culture is real and a problem that the left should reflect on.   More people are saying stuff like that than there are RedMercurys.

Don't participate in threads related to "news" and you'll avoid most of the crazies;  even for THQ games.. or EGS exclusive games.. go to their "official threads" once a game is out and you'll see very little virtue signaling, just people discussing games.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.  I’m pretty sure the resetti manual states that you cannot impersonate mods, it doesn’t mention it has to specifically occur on resetti.  As soon as I am unbanned I will be reporting you

"Carlos Mencia finally responds to the accusations of joke stealing made by Joe Rogan ten years ago, with an infamous on-stage confrontation at The Comedy Store"

Er, no- he talked about this at least a few years back and said how he went through therapy following his career getting killed.  Is he back to making shit up again? 

Listening to it, yup- he is.  Now he's saying he didn't address it based on managers telling him not to?  LMAO.

[bork]

Here it is.  From 2017.

[bork]

He says people are apologizing to him for believing Rogan.   

Dude still can't own up to what he did.  There's plenty of proof out there- this is the best one.

[remy]

Is joe gonna have to bring out the turn side kick?

Sad to see Patton Oswald getting canceled doubleplus unpersoned from the progressive library in that thread.

Disgusted by the number of dismissive, self - entitled, hands over ears comments in this thread.

if these are the comments in a seemingly Liberal /let - meaning forum, then I fear to think what the rest of America thinks. It is pretty obvious that there will not be any meaningful change.

I mean, we've covered this before I think. Running airconditioning all the time is a pretty fucking ridiculous thing to do.

Sure, but if it's 100F you aren't getting me to stay with just fans. Fans don't do shit.

Speaking of things: I doubt it's America alone that is the problem. See: Centers, Data.

[Pwnz]

I pay 9.3 cents per kWh for 100% renewables instead of 6 cents for whatever is cheaper. Totally within reason to subsidize renewables, but nope doesn't count because there's no personal sacrifice...that's like the most egotistical thought process.

[Don Rumata]

I tried air conditioning, but it costs too much.
I agree that fans do really little though, mostly i use anger and day dreaming to cope.

[stufte]

I have an electric vehicle and solar panels, I can do whatever the fuck I want with my AC.

 

[thisismyusername]

Unless you're putting an industrial fan in a room (spoiler: Don't do this if you've got loose paper/etc. lying around) those mini-fans don't do shit even in a shoebox apartment.

And thinking on it, I'm not sure how much better the energy draw for the motor of said industrial fans are over AC alone.

If I were on a budget I'd be open to room only ac, but with the Texas heat no ac in the rest of the house would warp materials and spoil food.

[clothedmacuser]

Like, when I tell people I have been on HRT but over 5 years but am still closeted in my day-to-day life, there is a shocking sense of disbelief, and when I explain that its because I am uncomfortable presenting when I do not pass, I am met with an extreme amount of disdain and hostility for expressing such a sentiment.

I have been called racist, sexist, a traitor, a liar, and a terrible person for expressing a desire to pass as cis or for being open about my own incredible discomfort with my male body. I have had people outright use the exact same language used by gender critical feminists and conservative reactionaries to shame me wanting surgery, or even for taking hormones. I’ve been told that its “no big deal” if kids and teens get gatekept and forced to go through the wrong puberty because “they’re still valid regardless of their appearance”, which is a fine sentiment sure, but once again completely erases and invalidates Gender Dysphoria. This has happened repeatedly over the past couple years at support groups, online communities, and even with therapists who professed to be trans friendly.

I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, but if you stopped pretending to be a man in day-to-day life, things might get better.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24262241

Try to guess which one was banned. 

But yeah, as soon as I knew about HRT I started buying the meds from IHP. I was fortunate enough to have my own checking account by then.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24262738

Minorities leaving in droves. 

But seriously what a fucking awful ban for a trans person who wants to talk.  Unless you are Excelsorif Era hates trans people even more than us!

[clothedmacuser]

I don't like airing this out, but be careful with the person who continuously makes alts, they're a self-hating trans person who keeps coming back to spread their vile shit, and has already riled up at least one person leading to a perm earlier in this thread

Just...ignore and report, the mods have been doing a great job

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24266049

Yep.  Mods certainly do a great job of banning people who have mental issues and are asking for help. 

[Transhuman]

Gender dysphoria is a condition not a lifestyle. Goddamn these people are transphobic.

how about dont kill and rape kashmiri people and let kashmiri people decide if they want to join india or pakistan which india promised in UN in 1948. then maybe there wont be any nuclear threat

There's a nonzero amount of people on Era looking at that skull on the logo and mulling over whether or not that kind of imagery is appropriate and represents the site in bad spirit considering it hearkens back to incidents of mass genocide.

[Uncle]

it's  that people are starting to identify as NB solely because it's out of fashion to be male

people joke but there should totally be a movement to fill out the $6 paperwork and make it official until there are no more men

100 years ago they would have been chucked into mental health facilities forever.

Videogames did it.

[Himu]

Why are there so many transgender, binary, etc people now compared to a 100 years ago?

Maybe because medically/physically transition wasn’t possible 100 years ago.

What, is some fucking person 100 years ago going to find estrogen and shoot it up or take it in pill form?

Back then they’d be seen as gay and just cross dress/do drag. Trans suicide rate would be much higher without viable transition as well.

This is ironic coming from the author who just can't help himself from integrating actual spoilers within his own stories. It's my biggest pet peeve with Stephen King's writing, honestly. He just loves starting chapters with stuff like "And then he woke up for the last time in his life," which lessens the impact of coming events enormously. You can't look away from spoilers like that.
