Doxxing Files |OT| Do not use a pandemic to make a platform wars thread

[Transhuman]

Delphine has gone rogue with the bans in that thread.

So much for the "bans are decided by multiple mods" lie...

You really think that's a ban that other mods won't sign off on? Their predelictions are basically identical, the only difference being that some will hate non-binaries or white people or men a little more than the others.

[benjipwns]

So much for the "bans are decided by multiple mods" lie...

No, that's no longer policy. Part of THE SUMMIT was an agreement to no longer risk the safety of members by making them have to wait for every staff member to sign off as was required previously.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

So they want people to report errors so that in the event of a recanvass they can fix those errors. Is that right?

So unless someone asks for a recount, the errors are canon?

planetsmasher is pretty stupid tho

Maybe I'm an old person, but I used to enjoy fighting games because they had tons of modes to play around with and huge rosters of characters to play as. I'm not a big fan of this new trend toward tiny starting rosters that the developers expect players to pay to expand coupled with anemic offline modes you can blaze through in a day before being forced to spend the rest of your time grinding endless versus matches against random assholes online.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/dragon-ball-fighterz-to-add-multiple-character-assists.169117/post-28957987

yeah i also loved the days when you had to buy a new game for $60+ ($90 for snes sf2 carts!) to get more characters and that was the only way new characters were added. i also enjoy pretending that wasn't the case and every fg started out for 60 man rosters and that didn't only happen on like the 5th or 6th iteration of a series and only came to consoles after a year+ in the arcades where i had to pay 25-50c every time i wanted to play a match.

I think American Express are one of the few credit cards that actually charge you an annual fee just to have it too, so extra fucking special choice there

[bork]

Amex Blue has no annual fee.  They're good for making purchases on items that might get defective outside of whatever warranty is available, since they usually will apply their own version of a warranty to an item for an additional two years.

Have used them in the past to get full refunds on electronics that went bad past their warranty period- mainly phones.  IIRC The last time it happened they didn't even ask us to send them the phone, gave us a full refund, and then we took the broken phone and sold it on eBay for some extra money lol.

[Tripon]

Yeah, Amex is a great credit card company since their customer support is so good. The ones with the annual fees are also balanced with higher return rates, so you will actually can come out ahead if you make it your primary card. Mind you, I'm still on blue.

Edit: Also, they're one of the only companies that offer auto rental insurance for a one time fee. There's good reasons to have an AmEx card at least as a backup.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

That posters from the UK based on his use of £ for his debt, and amex are a pretty bad choice over here

[Coffee Dog]

The worst part is that FighterZ probably has one of the best starting rosters of any fighting game in recent history, 20+ characters with a wide variety of playstyles. The DLC is what the fans ask for, which is a ton of Gokus. You miss very little by passing on the dlc and sucking it up. 

Way to cut off your face to spite your face.

I see. Yeah, the differences by country would explain it. In the U.S. the large credit card companies  are Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discovery. Of those 4, AmEx gives the most generous terms, but are used less by Visa and Mastercard because of it.

It's pretty funny how often mainstream media portrays nazis as bumbling idiots and never soulless, violent monsters.

Like imagine telling a holocaust survivor they were almost wiped out by the historical equivalent of the droids from the prequels

oh yeah, we barely had any of those movies showing nazi's as bad people. 

[Nintex]

The Nazi's weren't as smart as often portrayed in the movies. Most of them were really fucking stupid and believed in fairy tales actually.
If it wasn't for some great generals early on in the war (most of whom had nothing to do with the Nazi party) they would've lost way earlier.

Notice how, when the Nazi's take over more decision making from the military after '41 everything quickly unravels.
They didn't move to a full war economy until right before the Allies landed in Normandy. Not wanting to sacrifice their living standards for the troops in the East.
Which meant sending their best troops with no winter clothing into the Russian winter.

Instead of producing one reliable type of tank like the Russians and Americans their 'Panzers' where all specialized vehicles which were hard to repair in the field and broke down easily.
The Nazi's were good at crushing smaller countries weaker than them. But once they had to fight the Russians/US or hell, even the RAF. They couldn't win because of their own stupidity.

Besides, who commits a genocide and documents the whole operation.

RIP Total Biscuit

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It's a problem with the language and what it implies. The person who is physically dependent on the drug given to them for treatment is abusing it. The doctor who has the knowledge, training, and clarity to know the dangers of the drug is simply over prescribing.

You are making very little sense it this point. This is one of those case where someone on an internet forum is simply arguing for the sake of arguing. You don't magically become physically dependant on a drug. You cannot assume that the doctor was over prescribing a drug that is rather safe to prescribe. I am going to lay this out for you step by step.

Doctor prescribes a drug as a treatment for a medical problem. The prescription comes with instructions about dosage of the drug.
Patient takes the drug as prescribed.
Patient notices that the drug gives him a high. Patient takes more of the drug than needed for therapy.
Patient becomes psychologically addicted to the drug. He takes more of the drug due to addiction.
Patient becomes physically dependant on the drug due to long term abuse of the drug.
Peterson was not physically dependant on benzos from the onset. I would also like to point out the fact that it is very easy to get access to benzos without a prescription.

its basically your own fault, victims of the opioid crisis.
Shoulda had more bootstraps resilience self control.

First three responses:

Often quite negative. OT Era can give the impression life is just doom and gloom and there’s no point in trying to live a nice Life or make things better.

im pretty sure this place is responsible for my recent anxiety problems.

I would say I'm worse because of the forum, because it wastes a lot of time and creates a very small information bubble that's easy to over-rely on without actually being informed about things.

That said it's not that dramatic of an impact, and it's a simple pleasure to browse when I'm bored, even if there are more productive things I could be doing.

 

[bork]

This is a miserable place so no lol

Yeah, OT does a good job dampening my spirits the rest of the day quite often.

No, thankfully. This is the most depressing, negative community I've ever been part of.

Its made me see how uninformed people that think they’re informed can be. Also taught me to ignore the chicken littles in life that see the end of the world in every minor event.

It’s definitely contributed towards my distaste for video games

Waste too much time on here and becoming increasingly anti-social...

I certainly have less time but I enjoy being part of this community and I've learned a lot so yes, I think this site has made me a better person.

His whole "enforced monogamy is the answer" just in the wake of a mass murder carried by an incel was pretty bad on its own and as far as I can tell he has a whole catalog of stances I can only qualify as reactionary.

I think ERA's rejection is proportional to how omnipresent he was at some point in Internet discourse and the company he kept at that time. Not to go all guilt by association but when you're knee deep in that cesspool clique of Rubin / Crowder / Kirk / Shapiro... it's hard to believe you're not aware of the political bent you're serving and the sort of audiences you're pandering to.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary Surrounding Sexism

Are the "karen" jokes about "i want to speak to your manager" stereotyping white women? And how much of a quorum is needed to decide if that has a racist interpretation? And what academic authority has the legitimacy to claim so?

Personally, that joke is "ok" (lazy). Its "women be shopping" levels of effort.

Hello everyone, and welcome. The purpose of the meeting today is for ResetEra staff and BCC members to meet and discuss concerns and issues that the BCC has so that staff can work to create a more welcoming and safe environment for you all.

A few things, though. We ask that no one uses this meeting to air grievances against specific individuals. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss general concerns, and come up with solutions with you all to address them. It's more than fine to bring up examples of the kind of posts you'd like to see moderated more harshly or that you see as a problem that isn't currently addressed, but we'd kindly ask that you do not attach names to these posts. More specific concerns about users can be brought directly to staff, or reported. This also has the benefit of not bringing unwanted off-site attention to said users, as well as yourselves.

Secondly, we ask that no one bring up generic staff actions they disagree with if they have nothing to do with the issue of handling black-specific issues (i.e. don't try to relitigate unrelated bans).

With that said, we're here to listen and have a constructive dialogue, and we're hopeful that this meeting will lead to positive change. Thank you to everyone attending today.

As of late, I feel like we haven't been doing enough to push back against racism on ResetEra. We've banned the more blatant examples, but there have been threads where I look back on and feel we could have done better. The reason I wanted to speak with all of you in this, or any, setting is so that we can better figure out how to improve and what exactly we should be looking for.

I recognize a lot of you from threads where we have discussed things in the past. I came away from those threads with a lot of respect and do want to know what you all think and what more we can do to be responsive and address your issues.

Appologies for the delay, I need to work out the posting permissions for those taking part and then we can get started.

[Boredfrom]

Tell me this. Why are you policing our language?

We never bump people from our community, but we get bumped all day long when we aren't in our section.

I dunno if that thread is supposed to be able to be seen by lurkers, so:

We now have more leeway to ban first and ask questions later. It's bit us in the ass a few times but I honestly prefer that because it allows us to better keep up with the speed of heated threads, versus pre Trans-Week where it was the opposite. Sometimes (assuming mitigating circumstances aren't a thing, like if mods are just away or there's other threads requiring attention), a hold-up can be because we're trying to establish clearly what we're banning for and who is crossing the line before we go in. Like, we can know when shit deserves a ban on sight immediately, but we can't have the banner be "Being a piece of shit." We gotta refer back to the books and precedent.

We look at post history, infraction history, and notes, and try to escalate from there. So that's why infractions might seem a little weird. Like, someone who posts something racist the first time is going to get a smaller infraction than the asshole who can't keep from going on and on about Blue Lives Matter shit by default. And we do know when members have a history of aggravating behavior.
