I just want to (permanently) lose my burden of intelligence, and there are few ways to do that effectively / quickly. I've seen some legitimate research papers on the subject...

I hope they shoot Joker 2 in nepenthe's bedroom.
I'd be pretty grumpy if a place that's a normal part of my daily life is suddenly overrun by comic book nerds, too. Especially if it was right in the middle of my fucking neighborhood.
Kind of OT, but It’s troubling to notice how Internet memes and jokes often are racist(often anti-black), such as Ugandan knuckles, Ain’t got time fo data, nibba, “Hide yo keeds, hide yo wife” and this https://me.me/i/gonna-prank-dad-when-he-gets-home-day1-day-2-8823973.
I see jokes like this on Tiktok with tens of thousands of likes, usually made by black people.The punchline is usually a black kid showing and empty space where there father would be.I know kids are chasing clout more than ever, and are willing to make easy jokes at the expense of black stereotypes to get more followers.Shit is fucked up, these memes and internalised racism is pretty fucking gross.
Resetera is filled to the brim with angry bitter people with nothing positive going on in their lives so they all come together and constantly confirm each other how shit their lives is, constantly telling each other how improving your situation is not worth it because the world is going to hell, that they should cut off all contact with family, friends or co-workers who vaguely disagree with them about random topics. They don't want people to build a real life support network, it's like there's a push on users to depend on resetera for socialization. It's a never ending flow of negativity, self loathing, defeatism, and pure toxicity.It's not normal to see so many posts from users talking about how taking breaks from the forum has done so much good for them because they couldn't handle the negativity anymore.The admins should ask themselves what kind of climate they are fostering.Resetera has become the river of slime from GhostBusters 2
What happened to that dude that likes to smell shits I’m the Burger King?
Also, why did they have a punch clock in the locker room for clowns?(Image removed from quote.)Isn't a clown job more of a gig thing? Like a band does? Were they all clowns on retainer ready to go at ring of a phone? Sorry/Not Sorry for the spoilies.
ResetEra. That's a name that will raise a lot of eyebrows in the gaming community. Not only has the forum proven time and time again to promote cancel culture and outrage against developers, YouTubers, journalists, and anyone that disagrees with them. But they now are also famous for banning nearly 20% of its user base since its beginning.ResetEra has banned over 10K users since 2017As noted on Twitter by @GamesNosh, the forum statistics revealed that over 10.13k users have been banned since the website’s launch in 2017. On top of that, only 5K users have ever been warned, which only serves to question their way of dealing with those who disagree to fall in line with their narrow opinion window.Some people refer to the site as NeoGAF 2.0 but with even stricter rules, while many others criticize its tendency to push identity politics into the gaming community. But if something is true, is that the moderators of ResetEra don't hesitate to ban anyone, even if their only crime is to speak the truth or have a different point of view.Some users suspect that the number could be even higher when taking into account the zero-tolerance policy that is enforced on the site.The forum also has a relatively small user base, with little over 48k users. But despite all of this, the gaming industry and several journalists and gamers have still taken them seriously. However, this revelation should help to revert the situation and prove that ResetEra’s influence and reach are way smaller than they think it is.This is ultimately a good thing for the gaming community as a whole, as the site is not a gaming forum, but a place for social justice warriors and far-leftists to promote their political agenda.Regardless of your political view on them, ResetEra has been accused of doxing GOG staff, having a zero-tolerance policy, banning videos of certain YouTubers on their website, attacking game studios THQ Nordic and Limited Run Games, sending threats to game developers, promoting censorship in games, and many other activities.

Whoever wrote that article seems like a real candy ass
I can bet my annual salary that I am more worldy and social than some fool online who is unable to understand the painful history of low income communities of color that only receive attention when it is entertaining for others who don't have to reside in that community.Get out of here with that crap.
Yes? How hard is it to not make a trip to a place that you would never go otherwise?
You know what, I wasn't going to post here again, but before I leave (and yes, I will be requesting a permanent self-ban) people should know why I'm actually leaving.Anyone who knows me knows that I have absolutely no problem with long, extended arguments, but I do not tolerate ad hominems, and I could already see that this thread was headed down that path again after comments like yours. I've been through that too many times with poli-era, and just in general, interactions here have just not been very pleasant. This is more like the straw that broke the camel's back.As for your argument about Sanders. It's hogwash. He literally brought up exactly what you talked about, but you couldn't be arsed to look at the full exchange to see that, very much in the same way that I didn't realize how out of context Kamala's quote was, ironically.Yes, Sanders is flaky on race issues sometimes, but there are other times where he has the best responses on race issues, but that never gets acknowledged here. In fact, I don't think I've seen anyone here acknowledge just how far he's leading the pack on his criminal justice platform compared to everyone else in the field, but that's not surprising.Anyway, I wish you all well. I really mean that, but I hope that maybe one day this community can realize the kind of toxic, unwelcoming atmosphere it has fostered, because I am personally tired of it.Cheers. It's been fun.
QuoteThis trend of hiring just anybody to do any thing is frightening. What's next, law enforcement?That would be an improvement over what happens currently.

Quote from: Stinkles I once ordered $80 of fried chicken from a cult spot in Seattle- “Heaven Sent” and went to pick it up. They were literally bagging my order about fifteen minutes after I arrived- annoying but not the end of the world. They bagged and boxed everything and called me over to the pickup counter as they asked me which sauces I wanted- while this was going on a delivery driver from DoorDash showed up to pick up a big order- they were out of spicy because they gave me the last batch - then they turned to me, mumbled sorry and gave the door dash dude my entire order.I hate them both now. Is this what the kids today call "Getting cucked"?

It's ridiculous that people are expecting OP to do the job of doordash for them. They literally have thousands of engineers and data scientists working on these problems. If they recommend to OP something that turns out to be longer than expected that is on them. They took that risk, not OP. If they want to avoid these potential scenarios from happening they should not be recommending to OP to take on a 2nd order. It's that simple.
You probably also think black men deserve to be shot by cops for not complying.
I don't understand gender reveal parties, isn't it kinda sexist?
its purposely transphobic
Gender reveal parties are stupid. Setting aside the actual gender politics of them, they're just another instance of people seeking to fill the gaping void of contemporary alienation with an ostentatious, performative celebration of their lives’ marginalia.
Not only are gender reveal parties transphobic as fuck, apparently they're wildly dangerous too??
They're inherently transphobic. They don't know the kid's gender yet, since the kid doesn't know yet.
Gender reveal parties have always been gross and stupid.

The whole game is about connection after all Double dipping as soon as this drops. I'd love to see this come to Xbox too but the original agreement was PS4 timed exclusivity.
I got far more joy finding out there weren’t any genetic abnormalities or anything going on than finding out my baby had a penis. We should have Healthy Human parties instead.

Think for a moment about all the people who terminate or give birth to babies they know will be stillborn in a society where people throw grand parties to explicitly celebrate that that won't be them and how that would reopen emotional wounds.

My friend's wife had one for their 2nd kid when I happened to be visiting. Woke up hungover as fuck and had too stop myself from laughing when I asked what was happening. Fucking idiots.
