Related to the above, apparently bruceleeroy has been helping lots of resetera folks with home refinancing questions, so much so that another user posted something about how people could contact him off site and was, of course, banned.

User banned (permanent): Advertising for a banned user

MOD EDIT: Advertisement removed

Other users express their dismay that someone who actually helped other resetera posters was banned.

Quote
Dammit, I'm just about to start looking for quotes and had hoped go ask his advice. I get the ban, but he was an invaluable source of life-changing information free of charge in this thread.

If anyone has a way to contact him outside the board, I would appreciate it if you would PM me.

I have no idea what the removed content was, but if the "advertisement" was a way for members to continue to seek advice from an expert in the business outside this board, it has absolutely nothing to do with his ban. Disallowing it is simply spiteful and punishes board members more than him.

Surely resetera mods wouldn’t be that spiteful would they?

Quote
I believe it was a post from that users wife, saying how their husband enjoyed providing assistance to people here and that if they wished to ask for any advice to contact him. She then provided his email.

They also offered people to PM them as well and that they would relay it to their husband.

Whelp…

Quote
I read what he was banned for, just mods being petty. I'll probably get banned for pointing it out, but the level of mod abuse here has become worse than the old place. Any discussion about their behavior is met with bans, it seems...

Yea you will :lol

UPDATE: BANNED

Like most stupid divisive twitter culture war bullshit, its something you think is too stupid to be real, but in fact it actually is.

Back in OUR VIETNAM (#gamergate) Blue Tick Team made the brave decision to avoid being harassed by people replying to their takes to pre-emptively block anyone that wouldn't fawn over everything they say because they have a blue tick and are extra special were probable future-harassers by just trusting some rando other twitter users list of people they had beef with / might have beef with / followed or replied to people they might have beef with / just didn't like to confirm JUST HOW MASSIVE GAMERGATE REALLY IS.

Meanwhile, if you really want to call someone a stupid cunt for saying stupid cunt things on twitter you can literally just create an account and do so.

Like making your 'farewell kotaku' post a literal admission that many of the things your critics said were 100% true (not really qualified in the job, not interested in major aspects of the job like the technical side of things, pushing to pivot into 'muh feels' type narratives and journaling rather than fact based reportage) and then still blaming nebulous internet forces for generating that criticism.

How could anyone other than alt-right gamergate internet trolls possibly criticise that?

When you make a conscious editorial decision to focus less on objective facts, uneditorialised reportage of news, or being a buyers guide to releases, and pivot into purely subjective op-eds about how things make you feel, then you inherently start hiring people whose job is to literally write from the perspective that everything is about them, and you can see how when making everything about yourself without any need for fact checking or second opinions is your actual day job can lead into making you buy into your own bullshit.

I can't be arsed to read that whole blah about how kotaku should write more about marginalised identities and less about video games, but I really liked this one line:

"It shouldn’t require bravery to write about fucking video games."

It doesn't, Pat. You're all living in a privileged little bubble squabbling about entertainment online. Your 'bravery' is illusory.

Interesting contemptuous use of 'fucking' in that sentence too. If I started a new job talking about 'the fucking product', I doubt I'd last long enough to see the xmas party.

Isn't it weird how you don't see games journalists progress into 'real' journalism jobs?
The best they seem to achieve is PR for the companies whose products they most favorably reviewed, or joke role at a 'real' news outlet.

It’s actually getting to the stage where people will have to ask strangers if they’re from Resetera before inviting them to their house

Quote
Our daughter is currently in a youth softball league and has made a few friends on the team. After our last game one of the parents invited a few of the other parents over so all the kids can play so we obliged.

Upon arriving to their house and walking through their kitchen I noticed a decent size pineapple magnet hanging upside down on their refrigerator. Granted I don’t know this couple that well (2-3 months through games and practices), but I can’t get that damn magnet out of my head whenever I bump into these parents.

I explained this to my wife and she thinks I’m reading too much into it and thought maybe one their kids messed with their magnets. Just seemed like a coincidence that we were invited and this symbol is sitting there in the kitchen.

Am I going crazy y’all?

Some new RedMercury Lore Unlocks!

How it started:
If I didn't have to I would still find some way of contributing to society in some way, it might be more volunteer work, or something else, but I wouldn't do 40 hours a week at a job I hated. I've been out of work for a long time before and it drove me nuts.

I have one job I don't like so much, but I also started working at a school and tbh in my mid 30's I finally feel like I found something I'm good at and that I enjoy. It turns out I'm actually really good with kids, and I have kids who are doing great and everything but I never thought I'd be able to handle them so well in packs haha

How it's going:
Part 1:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-didnt-get-a-promotion-and-im-salty.301760/

womp womp

Part 2:
I dunno, just feeling frustrated and wanted to vent. Before I got promoted I was able to do 4 days a week, they were long days sure but having 3 days off was cool, now that I have only 2 days off I hate it. You get one day to recharge, and then the next day you know you have to go back the day after that, it sucks all the fun out of it. It's 70% of every month just lost, and if you include the days where you have to dread going back the next day it's over 80% of your entire month!

40 hour workweeks are bullshit too of course and that's a huge thing we need to advocate for as workers, but at least if you're going to do that, give people the option of having longer days for 4 days a week. Damn.

Quote
Quote
You could find a job where you work from home and pretend to be working on the 5th day.
I do work from home but everything is tracked through workforce management software. How long you spend on a ticket, how many you solve, how long your phone is online, your adherence to scheduled tasks, everything you can think of

I take periodic pulls off a bottle of Jack throughout the day, probably every 90 minutes or so just to get through

I like my job and I'm really good at it, I just hate being tracked so much, it induces a huge amount of anxiety in me even if I'm consistently the top performer in our entire division even with a Senior role where things are more complicated. If I felt I could work at a chill pace and still be okay it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but if I step away I might get a talking to from my manager and it would impact my performance reviews

Quote
Find a different job. That sounds like bullshit and I would not accept that as an employee.
It's easy to say that but the reality is I have about 16 months of experience and only 3 of that being after a promotion, leaving now it might be pretty tough on me and a pay/title cut would be hard t justify when I'm on the wrong side of my 30's and have a very sparse resume. I have no degree, my previous jobs have been as a substitute teacher and like working generic retail stuff. I'm lucky to have the job I have as it is. I've heard other offers from being headhunted and they haven't been anywhere near my current pay, with perks and bonuses and everything I'd have to lose like 15k a year which I just can't do. I spent most of my life making minimum wage or near it, this is the best I've ever been doing money-wise even if I'm not rich.


This is borderline too schadenfreude even by this threads standards, but there's some karma here for someone as fucking cavalier about other people losing jobs even over false accusations as he is

Hey, he's just such a big fan of an anonymous overseeing presence tracking and scrutinising your every moment over the internet and forcibly keeping you compliant with vague unspecified professional sanctions if you don't appear to toe the line sufficiently that he has a little celebratory drinky-poo to remind him how awesome the system he whole heartedly ideologically endorses is to live under

Yeah no.

It sounds like he works in a call center.  Probably the "headhunters" are bots or Indian sweatshops who scrape online resumes and pitch shitty contract offers for jobs that have such huge turnaround that you basically are "qualified" if you are breathing.

But yeah it's obvious why he acts like he does on Reee.  If you can come and go from jobs like nothing, then it doesn't matter if someone gets "cancelled".

Protip: If you're in your 30s and the best job you can get is call center/retail, then it's really not society's fault why your life is shit.  (see also Excel).

i never wanna hear about fucking "cancel culture" again

:mindblown

I don't think it's a stretch to say this fuck up is literally the result of it being a public figure in a well publicised case that everyone 'knew' was guilty poisoning the well and making the subsequent DA pull an unethical breach of agreement so that the public got the result they were clamouring for.

If it HADN'T been tried in the court of public opinion first and foremost, and the twitter mobs weren't demanding satisfaction, the DA would have passed on a case they couldn't prove, and Bill Cosby would have had to incriminate himself in a civil lawsuit (and lose), or face jailtime for perjury. And losing that civil suit would then open the doors for other civil suits by other complainants whose cases were also not strong enough to meet the legal requirements for criminal trials.

As it is, that's all fucked... soooooo.... good job angry mob?

woop woop, here comes the brain trust

So... 10 years before the criminal case, a prosecutor made a deal with Cosby to obtain a confession with a promise that he wouldn't be charged criminally. He did that apparently because he thought Cosby was too powerful and the case too weak to be prosecuted criminally and it was the best he could get in a civil case.

Then at the criminal trial, this deal was deemed non-binding and skipped over by not only the new prosecutor, but also by the trial judge himself, because it wasn't put in writing and the previous DA's testimony about this deal was deemed non-credible

And now the Supreme Court decided that actually yes this was binding, that he shouldn't have been criminally prosecuted, so now he gets to walk?

This is so grotesque. I know people want to blame the former prosecutor, but there's a lot more wrong with this whole thing than just this, IMO. First: why do deals like that even exist and why are they legally binding?? If a guy confesses to something criminal, how the fuck should this grant him immunity for prosecution? "Deals" like that are garbage, honestly. They let rich people get away with the worst, and they are often used as coercion against the vulnerable and the poor ("plead guilty to X so you won't go to jail for Y" / "but I didn't do either X or Y" / "yeah but no one will believe you so just admit to X and get the lesser sentence").

And then, the trial judge also knew about this deal and rejected it, yet somehow the Supreme Court decided that it should have been enforced. And not only that, it invalidates the whole trial.

Fucking hell.

 :brain

Immunity deals exist so that - for example - if a hooker is a witness to a murder they can get a witness to a murder without them not saying shit because admitting they were hooking makes them criminally liable, and getting a murderer off the streets is more important than fining a hooker (who is just going to go off and hook to pay that fine anyway).

What great about the American justice system is that if you're rich you can get off on technicalities even though you are clearly guilty, while most of the people are coerced into a plea deal.
It's funny how when you coerce a poor person to talk a plea deal it doesn't count as a 5th amendment violation even though forced confessions is exactly what it was meant to prevent.

Poor people 'get off' on 'technicalities' all the fucking time, which is why things like chain of evidence, and clearly stating someone is under arrest and mirandising them are well established and closely followed procedures - because that time someone forgot to read someone their rights after catching them red handed then chasing them down alleys for half a fucking hour let them skate scot-free.

'Coercing' a 'poor' into taking a plea deal has nothing to do with the fucking fifth amendment; putting someone on the stand and forcing them to testify does.

How the fuck do I know more about your own fucking legal system just from watching TV than you dumbfuck 'activists' do?

Maybe the actual worst that can happen is a rape victim goes up in front of a room full of strangers, relives the most traumatising event in their life, then gets called a dirty slut who was asking for it, have 12 strangers agree thats probably it, and then never be able to press charges against the rapist again because they are then legally innocent.

I don't know why everytime era start talking about things like criminal justice I'm both surprised and appalled they basically want the most fucked up cruel and unjust mob rule shit imaginable, seemingly without a a single moment of hesitancy that its not going to be 'the establishment' that are going to meet the - literal - sharp end of it

Shouldn't they be celebrating given their recent comments on the OJ trial?

Bill Cosby was preaching respectability politics 15-20 years ago or more, which is why many of us haven't fucked with him since the 90's. He's been shit for a long time

Every time this bunch of incompetent idiots speak about any topic that's not comic books or cape shit movies, their complete ignorance of life comes roaring to the fore. It is also very obvious that they get all of their understanding of society from television shows and movies and have no actual education or experience.

I just discovered that patricia has me blocked even though I've never interacted with her (Image removed from quote.)

What's your twitter?

Aren't their "block lists" or something that people export/import on twitter, based on whether you follow a particular person or something like that? Or did they change it

Guess I'm not a good enough sjw if I'm on a block list for nerds.

Now I really want to know why you're blocked.

What great about the American justice system is that if you're rich you can get off on technicalities even though you are clearly guilty, while most of the people are coerced into a plea deal.
It's funny how when you coerce a poor person to talk a plea deal it doesn't count as a 5th amendment violation even though forced confessions is exactly what it was meant to prevent.

Poor people 'get off' on 'technicalities' all the fucking time, which is why things like chain of evidence, and clearly stating someone is under arrest and mirandising them are well established and closely followed procedures - because that time someone forgot to read someone their rights after catching them red handed then chasing them down alleys for half a fucking hour let them skate scot-free.

'Coercing' a 'poor' into taking a plea deal has nothing to do with the fucking fifth amendment; putting someone on the stand and forcing them to testify does.

How the fuck do I know more about your own fucking legal system just from watching TV than you dumbfuck 'activists' do?

Era's understanding of the law is simply strange.

They can rattle off dozens of court rulings about people getting shit upon for the dumbest reason but the same people are bewildered that a racist of all people gets a lawyer. "What, A hearing?  No black person is allowed a hearing!  Bond?  What?  Presumption of innocence?  I'm an idiot!"

They remind me of the Fox News hosts who get indignant when muslim terrorists are allowed due process.

Some new RedMercury Lore Unlocks!

How it started:
If I didn't have to I would still find some way of contributing to society in some way, it might be more volunteer work, or something else, but I wouldn't do 40 hours a week at a job I hated. I've been out of work for a long time before and it drove me nuts.

I have one job I don't like so much, but I also started working at a school and tbh in my mid 30's I finally feel like I found something I'm good at and that I enjoy. It turns out I'm actually really good with kids, and I have kids who are doing great and everything but I never thought I'd be able to handle them so well in packs haha

How it's going:
Part 1:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-didnt-get-a-promotion-and-im-salty.301760/

womp womp

Part 2:
I dunno, just feeling frustrated and wanted to vent. Before I got promoted I was able to do 4 days a week, they were long days sure but having 3 days off was cool, now that I have only 2 days off I hate it. You get one day to recharge, and then the next day you know you have to go back the day after that, it sucks all the fun out of it. It's 70% of every month just lost, and if you include the days where you have to dread going back the next day it's over 80% of your entire month!

40 hour workweeks are bullshit too of course and that's a huge thing we need to advocate for as workers, but at least if you're going to do that, give people the option of having longer days for 4 days a week. Damn.

You could find a job where you work from home and pretend to be working on the 5th day.
I do work from home but everything is tracked through workforce management software. How long you spend on a ticket, how many you solve, how long your phone is online, your adherence to scheduled tasks, everything you can think of

I take periodic pulls off a bottle of Jack throughout the day, probably every 90 minutes or so just to get through

I like my job and I'm really good at it, I just hate being tracked so much, it induces a huge amount of anxiety in me even if I'm consistently the top performer in our entire division even with a Senior role where things are more complicated. If I felt I could work at a chill pace and still be okay it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but if I step away I might get a talking to from my manager and it would impact my performance reviews

Quote
Find a different job. That sounds like bullshit and I would not accept that as an employee.
It's easy to say that but the reality is I have about 16 months of experience and only 3 of that being after a promotion, leaving now it might be pretty tough on me and a pay/title cut would be hard t justify when I'm on the wrong side of my 30's and have a very sparse resume. I have no degree, my previous jobs have been as a substitute teacher and like working generic retail stuff. I'm lucky to have the job I have as it is. I've heard other offers from being headhunted and they haven't been anywhere near my current pay, with perks and bonuses and everything I'd have to lose like 15k a year which I just can't do. I spent most of my life making minimum wage or near it, this is the best I've ever been doing money-wise even if I'm not rich.


This is borderline too schadenfreude even by this threads standards, but there's some karma here for someone as fucking cavalier about other people losing jobs even over false accusations as he is



What a sack of crap.

Complain to the landlord. Fuck the reason, that noise has to stop.

They can for damn sure deal with a noise nuisance though. I'm not saying evict anyone, but goddamn, get the loud ass crying baby away from shared walls. And if there is a problem to be solved (as in the case of a previous poster regarding hunger) fucking solve it.

Listen, I assume the person is living in an apartment. And I live in one, too. I just feel like it's my responsibility to be considerate to my neighbors and I keep the noise down. Apartment walls are typically shit regarding containing noise. So fucking yes, if I had a crying baby, I would *at the very least* keep it away from shared walls. That would be the least I could do. I might not be able to keep the baby from crying, but I could for damn sure limit it as best I could from aggravating neighbors.

Why is their first instinct always to cry to an authority figure in an attempt to get them to fix their problems for them?

What's stopping anyone just knocking on the door and having a chat about it?

I just don't understand people who make minimal effort to fix their problems.

I do so many different things to clown me over. Like obsessing over women who don't talk to me ever. I managed to narrow that down to one, but she still never talks to me. I'm over here ready for marriage. I am enough of a lunatic to follow through. She probably made the right decision not to reply.

There's a vast difference between a crying baby and someone playing loud music, stomping on the floors, etc.

TBH it really isn't any of their business that a baby is crying, unless it's something like it sounds like the kid is being beat.

The parents are well aware that their kid is crying, your going to their door to "politely" mention that it's bothering you would get met with a "kthx, get fucked chief" from me.

It just boils down to if you don't like listening to your neighbors (most people don't) then you shouldn't live in an apartment/condo.  But per REE if you buy a house you're robbing trans lesbian POC.
