I did not follow this thread but the title update, lol

"The CPAC stage is in the shape of a Nazi symbol. Coincidentally, I'm sure. [Up: it was probably a coincidence]"

In light of the above, it seems like this was a misunderstanding/coincidence.

Maybe let's take this as a lesson to not jump at conclusions based on takes from Twitter randos next time.

Cool that you locked the thread Morrigan so that no one will see the update

Being a very poor $10.70 an hour type 1 diabetic with strong socialist/communist feelings, my feelings are as follows....

GET FUKT ERA BOURGEOISIE FUCKS. NO $1400 FOR U LMAO.

There will be a special place in hell for social progressives that secretly love conservative economics. Nothing more conservative than wanting the soup at a homeless shelter, because they're hungry too.

They deserve 1000 degree ovens.

Nu-Radical Chic.

I was reading an article from (can't remember lol) and it mentioned how $1,4000 should cover expenses for four months.

wat

EDIT: Oh i read that as 1400.
Yeah 14k will do me a year tbh.

[remy]

Yeah what i don't get is, if you live in an area where 80k are peanuts, what are 1400$ extra gonna do? The only case i can think of, off the top of my head, is someone who made that much, lost their job in 2020, and moved somewhere else where 1400 could make a difference.
But i dunno if they'd still be considered as making 80k or unemployed.
(also again, it's insane to make 80k a month and be unable to put anything aside, but i admit that's a larger discussion).

Because 80k isn't peanuts and they're greedy bougie little fucks

[benjipwns]

Yes it exists. This forum is a smaller example of a larger trend in how online communities mobilize. On Era, when news breaks on an actor, athlete, or musician’s problematic behavior - past or present - it may result in threads with a “you’re either with us or you’re against us” vibe. Or there may be no thread. Depends on the fanbase of the offenders work here.

I think people should get fired for making prejudiced statements and it’s often the result of an online movement not unlike what happens here. Just on a larger scale. I would get fired if I said the things on social media actors get “cancelled” for. One problem with the effects of cancel culture is everyone here enjoys the work of an athlete, musician, author, director, podcaster, etc that has done objectively shitty things. But here on Era (and more broadly) an effort is often mobilized to eliminate a conversation all together IF the target’s work is not particularly popular in the community.

We can’t even have a Chapo thread because they made offensive comments. But Wrestling has a thread. Bill Burr understandably has a divisive thread where he’s called “garbage” “can get fucked” and a “piece of shit” for defending Gina Carano, when a thread doesn’t even exist to discuss Dwayne Wade defending Nick Cannon. Ginny & Georgia is slammed as sexist, but Conan (who harasses women for laughs) is an institution?

My point isn’t to defend Chapo, Burr, Ginny & Georgia, or Conan. I just have a problem with the pretentious and self-righteous mindset when “cancel” news breaks in hopes to eliminate an opposing viewpoint, while ignoring or softly qualifying the same behavior because many on Era are fans.

i can't cook worth shit. I don't think most single people spend $200-$300 on food a month. Can they to survive? Well sure? But I think we are talking completely different standards of living for most people.



The question is, would $1400 make a difference or are they too filthy rich for them to get that money?

[Don Rumata]

One person NOT eating out spends 600$ a month for food?

Using Numbeo to compare Phoenix with Rome's prices, it doesn't seem to be that more expensive (groceries) and looking at my own city prices reported on Numbeo, they seem to skew towards the higher side (meaning, buying bigger brands etc).

And again, what are $1400 going to do, if you're starving with 80k?

[Nintex]

I dunno, I had a talk with a friend the other day about how many things in life have gotten much more expensive over the past few months.
Some stuff because of the pandemic but also things totally unrelated that have gone up 2x or even 4x in price.

Sometimes you get an email with new rates for an utility or whatever and they're like: "more value blah blah" and you check last years invoice and the price has doubled. 
Most cars are sitting in the parking lot, yet car insurance has gone up. It's really weird I think there's quite a bit of inflation going on that people are now picking up on because wages have not increased.

. Even some of the ones that don't show Cavill mention him or heavily imply this is being shown as a distraction from the nonsense surrounding Ray Fisher's mistreatment at the hands of the studio. Translation: the responses are in defense of the Snyderverse.

I've argued, extensively at this point, why I don't believe Snyder is well-suited for Superman but that has nothing to do with the fact that the majority of the people that don't like the idea of a black Superman are posting Cavill as their ideal representation of the character.

This sounds like confirmation bias at this point but have at it.

There are only two games at all from Sony that this even pertains to, and arguably with God of War it really isn't that much.
It seems like it has been propped up as a catchall term being used to disparage a lot of the games from Sony that happen to be 3rd person. Not to mention not even getting into all of the games that aren't even in that style at all that have come out or are coming out.
It also seems weird to get into term of calling games "goty award bait" when knowing how much goes into these games from the different dev teams, and feels callous to say that they are spending years and everything in just to rake in awards.
Just something that I have noticed lately and thought about.

[BadAss2961]

If that stuff is true that’s not good, but I just don’t get ERAs behavior of regularly putting someone in the pillory. Look I’m by no means alt-right nor a trump supporter or Pro Gamergate/Anti SJW or whatever, but what I don’t get is that so many people from the industry here get crucified, banned or boycotted etc pp without even being asked about it?! I mean ok for obvious cases like the whole Ubisoft disaster I’ll get it.
What scares me is if ERA would be a government than it probably wouldn’t be any better than any alt-right guys. There is no court, no benefit of the doubt, no possibility for those people to explain or defend or getting a chance to right their wrongs.

Instead of actually talking to those accused people, asking them about the stuff and see how they respond or give them a chance to defend and explain themselves, maybe even to apologize there is at least one thread a week where someone gets pointed out, accused and crucified with lots of era users saying they won’t buy game x/y.

There are lots of hard working people behind those games and all you can do is accuse one of them and then boycott the whole game without even asking the accused person about it or give the rest of the team the benefit of the doubt nor respect. I mean WTF?! That’s like in the dark ages when someone shouted WITCH(ER) and everyone burns or lapidates the person without even asking. That’s just sick! And that is something I can’t stand that much longer on this board tbh.

Thank you for posting this… i feel exactly the same.

Yeah this place can really be toxic like that and I hope this sort of behavior weeds itself out. Surely it has to.

People who want to fight oppression should join a socialist organization. They'll find very quickly that this online culture doesn't build power in real life.

Yep. And this is one of the more absurd examples I’ve seen of it.

You summed up my feelings of recent months on Era, it's like peoples are guilty until proven otherwise.

I happen to agree with this person below from Twitter. This is probably a ploy by Trump in order to get Cuomo out so that he & the GQP can get a Trump stooge such as Lee Zeldin as Governor to pardon state charges against Trump in 2022. The problem for Trump however, is that Kathy Hochul would most likely take over if Cuomo resigns.

Cuomo's still a scumbag at the end of the day for keeping those COVID deaths from a nursery home a secret.

My first Steam account from 2010 had connections with a few communities and people that were kind of toxic, and I wanted to get away from. That, and my 200+ library filled with a lot of Humble Bundle extras was stressing me out. So I tossed it, yeah. I don't regret it at all. I think my current Steam account has around 20 games? And I've beaten the majority. That said, playtimes and achievements aren't also good for me, so I try to play off of Steam and grab games on Itch whenever I can.

i went from 1100 to 430.

I had about 700 games at one point, I have about 300 now.

[Tuckers Law]

Era continues to be so obviously full of privileged and self-important faux-woke puritans always thinking that they are the most oppressed, and saying so as loudly as they can.

I’m not saying 80k/year is a whole lot of money if you are supporting a whole family with it and especially in an expensive city, but it’s damn sure a lot more than so, so many others have to work with in a year, and they are much more likely to be struggling at this time even if living within their means.

Resetera is a community of such garbage people.

80k is for individual people:

However, the benefit would disappear altogether for individuals earning more than $80,000 annually and couples earning more than $160,000.

Yeah, like porkbun mentioned in their reply, I’m meaning a single wage earner supporting their family, ala one spouse stays home and takes care of the kids, or single parent type stuff.  80k/year is still quite a bit of money but I could see that feeling like it’s not if one is in that kind of scenario, especially if any recurring essential expenses are involved (medical or such).  A single person with no kids and “normal” debt making 80k+/year does not need that one time stimulus of 1400, they’ve got far bigger problems.

It's just ignorant Americans showing their asses. They think travellers are a race, when they're really just Ireland's hillbillies or rednecks. Explain it like that, and they'd support discriminating against them. But since people compared them to gypsies instead, it's "racist". Which makes no sense at all, even if you believe in racial theory, because unlike Romani, travellers are not an ethnic group at all - they're plain old Irish.

It's a bit more complicated because Irish Travellers are a distinct ethnic group, with the protections that should afford.

Sorry, my bad, didn't have my morning coffee yet. Yes, they're an ethnic group, but they're not a distinct "race". They're genetically pretty much the same as other Irish, with minor differences attributed to genetic drift because they usually stick to their own.

Then again, ethnic theory is even more stupid and worthless than race theory, because it depends almost entirely on identity and most of all recognition. It's incredibly unscientific. Like, in Germany, Bavarians are considered an ethnic group, but Franks are not, even though they have a distinct culture, language and identity. It's completely arbitrary.

There's also almost certainly something lost in UK-US translation because of the different vernacular uses of gypsies, who are a historically persecuted race but usually aren't who Europeans are actually talking about. I've heard the "no, not those gypsies" defence plenty of times in real life.

But at the same time, it's a huge blind spot for even liberal Brits. I used to be a sub editor and would have arguments with writers about whether it was acceptable to use 'gyp' (spelled various ways) to mean 'swindled' regularly.

But yeah, I've been online long enough to know not to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

these numbers are out of my ass but similar to what I pay in Phoenix where the cost of living is much lower.



there is America living and then other country living.

I mean if you have costs like this how much is 1400 really going to help you

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say this dude is your average REEE basement dweller who's never had to actually pay any bills.

Monthly rent for a one bedroom $1800 - in Phoenix?  LOL.  Try around $1000, and that's for a nice one.

Car payment $300 - ok that seems reasonable.  Maybe that's the one bill they actually pay.

Car insurance $200 - WTF?  Yeah maybe if you have a bunch of accidents.

Healthcare $250 - not really sure where this figure is coming from, is this prescriptions, doctor's visits, etc?

Food without eating out $600 - oh my sides.  what the hell are you having, steak and champagne for every meal?  That's what we spend for a family of 4 and a dog.

Gas to get to work $140 - huh?  We have a SUV that gets filled about every 2 weeks for about $30, and we live in the outer suburbs so it's a decent drive to get to a lot of places.

It's a bit more complicated because Irish Travellers are a distinct ethnic group, with the protections that should afford.

One of those 'no fucking way am I getting into that' issues. Not for re, obviously, but then they're experts on everything.

There's also almost certainly something lost in UK-US translation because of the different vernacular uses of gypsies, who are a historically persecuted race but usually aren't who Europeans are actually talking about. I've heard the "no, not those gypsies" defence plenty of times in real life.

But at the same time, it's a huge blind spot for even liberal Brits. I used to be a sub editor and would have arguments with writers about whether it was acceptable to use 'gyp' (spelled various ways) to mean 'swindled' regularly.

But yeah, I've been online long enough to know not to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Though racism as a more general concept applies all over the planet, i think "xenophobia" describes a bit better the problem of many Euro countries with various ethnic groups.
And then each country within europe has wildly different relation with the various groups, because of very different historical and cultural factors (for example whether or not they had "successful" colonies).

This guy seems to make weekly threads about his Grindr hookups. I’m wondering if a heterosexual equivalent would  be allowed on Resetera.

A Grindr threesome doesn’t qualify as true boys club rhetoric

because they’re gay...
