I walked into the Popeyes on Bourbon Street tonight and thought of you fellas. A thread full of psychopaths, every shade from pale white to Enzom White. All woke and condoning assault on women . I could feel your thirst all the way from here. Then I ate jambalaya and gumbo with Hobbes

[ResetBanBot]

ok, uh, I think I was mistaken, Hobbes has definitely never been married.

Wow the bire spreading fake news, this would never happen on the farms.

[Potato]

How do these motherfuckers live in such a black and white world?

If you don't condone and endorse the assault of a 55-year-old woman...you're a dirty racist and Hobbes is going to keep a dossier on you.

Fucking video game scripts have more nuance and grey area than these cunts' worldview.

Note: This staff message has been posted in both the PoliEra and Socialism OTs, but they will be enforced across the site.

Fighting between communities has been getting worse lately, and that ends now. It's ruined too many threads at this point and it's been a constant breach of the terms of service. It's unfair to everyone else who uses this site that a small minority has been turning large swaths of EtcetEra toxic. Many users have complained about this to us and we believe they are right to do so.

In that past we've relied on ordinary bans with gradual escalation, in the hopes that this would be enough to ensure that everyone can coexist. It hasn’t been enough. Users have instead resorted to trolling in subtler ways, hoping that the staff won't notice or mind. To deter this, we will now be issuing much longer bans and rapidly escalate them as hard as necessary.

There have been a handful of recurring offenders on both sides in this – you know who you are. The following goes for everyone but especially for you: The pejoratives, nicknames, turns of phrase and other creative aggressions will no longer be tolerated. Attempts to provoke one another, to gatekeep, to deliberately keep the fighting going, will no longer be tolerated. Going back to your respective OTs to whine and complain about each other will no longer be tolerated.

It all stops now. Do not complain that you were not warned.

 

IT ALL STOPS NOW!

A elderly white women said people were n-words on a bus and she was dragged off and beaten till the ambulance came, took her away, and she stayed overnight.  She was bleeding from the head.

The issue is that people find the violence problematic but absolutely don't want to talk about everything that has happened in black people's history and the lack of avenues towards justice that we have to even arrive at the point where a racist got punched on a bus.

Hobbes “accidentally” burned his house down as a child which led to his parents’ divorce. This then led to years of emotional abuse from his mother.

I heard the story that there's a guy at a major publisher who can predict the Metacritic score of games in a +/-2 margin. It's not exactly clear how he does it, he has his finger on the pulse of the Internet, somehow.

I really recommend using stremio. With plugins (which are simply pressing a button in stremio), you can get everything in a nice format plus actual streaming site-like series progression. It can even be installed in fire TV stick

From the OP:

So, South Africa defeated Apartheid in 1994 in its first ever democratic election, but remains a country with the highest disparity with regards to wealth distribution. 80% of the country is black (Black African, Indian and Coloured population), yet despite all this, Richard Branson, in his new Entrepreneurial creating centre in South Africa posed for an all-white photo.

Correct me if I'm wrong Momo, but want apartheid effectively dismantled by de Klerk in 1991?

This thread has devolved into hostility and personal insults. As such, the thread will be closed and its posts will be reviewed.

When they review the thread () they should definitely look at Nepenthe's posts and reconsider her continued "employment" as she spends much of the thread arguing for the necessity of regular mass racial violence. Much of the rest of the thread was openly taking their cues from her.

I'm not sure moderators regularly advocating for race war is helping provide for that ever so important productive discussion.

Between 1987–1993, the National Party entered into bilateral negotiations with the African National Congress (ANC), the leading anti-apartheid political movement, for ending segregation and introducing majority rule.[21][22] In 1990, prominent ANC figures such as Nelson Mandela were released from prison.[23] Apartheid legislation was repealed on 17 June 1991,[2] pending multiracial elections held under a universal suffrage set for April 1994.[24]

So yes, but also no... in the sense that it "hung around" for another 3 years. Momo would know the gritter details for the time-line, though.

Masuda pointed to the 2020 arrival of the new Pokemon Home app as a compromise. It will allow users to ‘store’ monsters from various Pokémon titles and could allow them to be transferred to future games.

“Currently the Pokémon Home app is under development, where players can collect their different Pokémon, and only Pokémon in the Galar-Pokédex can be transferred from there to Sword and Shield,” Masuda said.

“We encourage people to use Pokémon Home to collect their Pokémon from old games there. From there, they might be able to take it to other games in the future. So take good care of your old Pokémon, because you might be able to go out with them again in the future.”

And then if I connect the Pokemon Home App to my 3D printer....

I stopped buying pokemon games after Ruby/Sapphire. Goddamn. It honestly blows my mind people still care about this shit. If these days Gamefreak is still making money, clearly there is a market of people who buy these games regardless of anything.

[Great Rumbler]

Gameplay tweaks and attention to detail make Pokemon Sword and Shield the most compelling Pokemon world to date.

The first new-generation Pokémon game to release on a proper home console does not disappoint. New features like Dynamaxing and the Wild Area are fun additions that make the experience of becoming a Pokémon champion still feel fresh.

You are correct.

Buying a game used = no money to the publisher.
Buying a game (cheap) new = money to the publisher.

So how is buying used games any different or better than piracy?

 

That is a fucking take.

It might if they were hacking in moves, which someone said the streamer had done.

Why am I pointless? Why don't I deserve to voice my opinion?

Why does everyone hate me when all I want is for someone to just listen instead of telling be "fuck you you're not important buy the game?'

Well, yeah. Remember, they made Nepenthe a mod AFTER advocating for leaving an old woman bloodied on the ground with a concussion for saying the N-word. Their pretense of being anti-violence fell away long ago.
