I don't understand this. How did Obama allow this colossal waste of financial and human resources (not to mention the deliberate fudging of metrics to make it seem like U.S. was winning the war? That's just...villain behavior. It's evil. Was all of Obama's image a lie? Is he the gigantic asshole these facts suggest?
I mean, I get Bush and Trump doing this, but Obama's invovlement shocks me to my core. I thought of him as a good guy.

Not only I was never a fan of the "angry review thing" but I am still bitter about the ghostbuster thing

Why? He (rightly) didn't see the point of reviewing an unnecessary movie and addressed it in video-form instead of him being bombarded with spam (probably didn't work out the way he anticipated). That's all it was but people made it about something else.

His reasons were bullshit. He is a fan of the franchise, he reviewed other "unnecessary" movies, he reviewed worst stuff from the franchise.
Hell, calling the movie unnecessary and not others is already something for me to be bitter about.

I bet he will review the new one and it is as unnecessary as the women one

James' voice changed drastically and it wasn't as good.

Voice-ism

Edit : oh man I thought it was a figure of speech but it's actually literal

Just listen between a current episode and like a 100th something episode from 2013. Around 2013 was the voice changing started to happen. He just sounds like a 40 year old man yelling.

“We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” Douglas Lute, a three-star Army general who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, told government interviewers in 2015. He added: “What are we trying to do here? We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.”

The Flint thing is in the latest Michael Moore documentary.

Obama arrives by plane, is huddled in a room with advisers and then addresses the people to say that everything is fine.
He does a tour doing 3 more appearances, giving the exact same speech, faking drinking the Flint water and then waves goodbye.
 
Months later the US Army does a surprise urban warfare exercise in the abandoned neighborhood with tanks and attack helicopters.

3 months ban for ‘racism’ on a black person that is levying criticism of Obama. It may be harsh criticism, but if anyone’s entitled to make it, it’s a black person who has personal stakes in the flint situation.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/year-end-policy-updates-and-community-affairs.157629/post-27191829

Basically, this is not a safe forum to let yourself be vulnerable. A good chunk of posters aren't interested in helping you, they just want to be entertained and dissect each post the OP makes in an attempt to cause a thread backfire. It's deeply toxic, I've complained about it before, submitted several warnings and was deeply disappointed when the moderation team locked some of those threads without a word and also didn't do any bans. I am hoping (via B-Dubs post) that this will be addressed better in the future.

What does it mean to “speak over” someone on a message board? In real life, one speaks over someone by interrupting them and talking louder than them. Since neither of those are possible on a message board, where one can make a post as long as one likes there is no such thing as loudness, how does one violate this rule?

Example
Transperson: Here's why comment xyz is transphobic and offensive.

Asshole: Here's why that doesn't matter as much as the way I feel.

As unfortunate as it is ResetEra is not a safe platform to talk about yourself having a mental illness or to talk about someone in the public eye who suffers from it. A lot of users do not wish to help you or see someone for whats actually going on (not everyone but easily the majority), Mods have never shown up at best they just lock the thread until a new one is made because the person kills themselves in which then you see them post "RIP".

Until something unfortunately happens where those threads pop up again and we see mods actually do something, the community actually shift away from blaming and instead understanding I personally wouldnt ever suggest this forum as your first means of being open.

I'm not trying to steal focus here from the very legitimate concerns of Minority ERA and LGBTQ+ Era, but I would like to say that the increased focus on moderation going forward also definitely needs to apply to the Gaming side of the house. There are a number of gaming-related topics that bring out their own dedicated cadres of shitposters from post 1 and while staff posts do eventually show up actual warnings and bans are few and far between. Take a look at any thread regarding a Jim Sterling video, the Epic Game Store, or Star Citizen, and you'll find the same posters every time mucking up the threads with the same baseless arguments. It drives off actual discussion and turns threads into piles of flung dung.

It’s fun seeing people with no self-awareness reacting negatively to these policy changes.

If you look at these policies and think “great, now I can’t post what I want anymore”, then guess what? You’re part of the problem, not an innocent caught in the crossfire.

Mods are too ban-happy and users are too hostile. Y'all need to chill the fuck out please, god damn.

it is easy to chill out when you don’t have to worry about what we have to every single day
