Promoting NeoGAF.com on ResetERA.com is a bad look, moblin.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-you-think-era-should-enable-the-post-liking-feature.172007Someone made a thread with a poll on likes and the mods were so afraid of it turning out the “wrong way” they locked it like the giant dads they are

Quoteno, it was the worst part of the Penny Arcade forums, everyone would just carefully craft every single post to “own” everyone or farm the most likes, it was absolutely insufferable and made everyone massively insincere cunts.Exactly this. It would exacerbate the worst qualities of era and make every post an opportunity for someone to make a grandstand or a dunk, regardless of nuance of the topic being discussed.

The tweet's obviously referring to the cold war and issues with communism in the time period (hi bay of pigs!) It's worded badly but from the context it's not hard to figure out what it's going after - you don't go "social order of the 50s bad" and follow it up with "desegregation bad".
QuoteWait the bay of pigs was the US' fuckup, not revolutionary politics lolPeople were pushing for communism at the time. Communism was a legitimately awful economic system that fucked over countries using it.

that's the one you want explained? not homosexual-straight?
I feel exactly the same. I haven't been on any dates yet though. As I said all my conversations end way too abruptly. Or don't even start at all. Like why did you swipe on me if you didn't want to talk? It's not like I immediately asked you to fuck me. I wanted to talk. Find out about you. See if something forms. I was starting to think Tinder was secretly shadow banning my messages because I wont pay for the premium feature. I doubt they are but come on.I feel like I'm too desperate for human interaction that I spent way too much over the last three weeks at a strip club because I found a girl there who liked actually having a conversation with me even if she was doing it for the money. I feel like I don't care the cost as long as I'm getting the human contact I need. (And I'm totally aware that I'm not her only client and that she treats other guys the same way.) But I can't go to a club every week. I need to find someone who can be there for me all the time and not just because I'm giving them money.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/please-help-me-reframe-my-potentially-backwards-view-on-sex-work.171900/#post-29388197I cannot imagine telling the internet that my sex worker girlfriend gets butterflies from her clients but doesn’t get them from me.
Well it's a new relationship so we're still figuring it out. The thing you have to understand is that while she's having sex with other men, and while she may even enjoy it (the sex as well as the social aspect of it, be it just in a room or in a date like setting)...she is primarily doing it to earn money. But if I do it, then I'm doing it pretty much exclusively for physical pleasure. So there's a difference. When she is working she is X the escort, the bubbly girl who's always happy, willing to do things, who always looks perfect. When she is with me she is Y my partner, the regular human being who is flawed like everyone else, she gets sad, she cries, she gets pissed off, she gets sick, she can look messy etc. She is herself with me and she isn't sharing that with anyone out there. There are indeed certain things that only I get to do with her, sexually speaking. And at the end of the day while she is "sleeping around", I'm the only one she's actually sleeping with and spending the night with. She may have sex with others, but I'm the only one she makes love to. And all of that...is more than enough for me.At this moment I don't see other escorts, nor do I casually hookup with anyone. She's the only one who's in my mind be it emotionally or physically. Maybe I'll feel weird about it in the future but when I do we'll talk and figure something out. And that's the most important thing in making this work....communication. The level of communication and openness I have with her is beyond anything I've experienced in my whole life. We never ignore each other, we never hide how we're feeling about each other no matter how difficult it is to put in words...it's better to do that than not talk at all.You do have to have a somewhat liberal attitude towards sex for this to work, else it just not going to work unless she quits entirely.
Pretty much.She will probably be more open to ideas and kinks than most other girls but don't count on it as outside of work it's just a normal relationship with ups and downs. Like right now she's kind of pissed at me and I'm freaking out and thinking of ways to make up with her lol.It also helps in my case that it's a long distance relationship as we live in different cities and visit each other for a few days every 2 weeks or so. So when she's with me she is 100% with me and no one else for those days, even physically, and when she is working I'm in another city working my own job and we talk daily like any other couple.
You are absolutely right on that and it's something that's currently in my mind but not enough to worry me, if it does in the future then eventually we'll talk and come up with a solution that's agreeable to us both.But I'll try to elaborate more on that. That was before our relationship.A while back she was visiting me and staying with me for a few days, I proposed that we take this further than friendship/occasional casual sex and she originally said that while she likes me she doesn't think it'll work because she isn't getting the butterflies. To which I said well given the setting we met in, I already had a bad start and it couldn't have been possible. It was then that she said that she has had those butterflies with other clients before....but I quickly countered with this response "But I'm the one you are with right now, not them". I also told her "You can't expect to get a different result if you date the same kind of people you did" and asked her if she had dated someone like me before. Because if she hasn't then she cannot know how this will go, and neither of us knows what it feels like to date someone who ends up being a lifelong partner because if we did....well we'd be with them now. And if I want something different then I'll have to do something different...and the one thing I have with her is that it's different.This made her think, and ultimately she conceded. Now she tells me that she's never had anyone like me in her life and doesn't wanna lose me because she absolutely loves it. The thing is, if there's a desire and will then things work out eventually somehow. All you need is high level of communication and understanding, because not having that is why a lot of relationships end up failing.On the other hand there's also the fact that men want to pay their hard earned cash just for my girl's time, attention and services. Something that I get on a daily basis for free out of her own volition and more. That makes me feel privileged and lucky af.

Can someone clarify for me. So is poli-era anti sanders? And the primary thread is for all the bernie bros? I dont really venture into them but seems to be the case. Hilarious if they had to quarantine them from each other

He seems fairly aware of what he's into and he's happy with it Though as usual you only get one side of the story.

I'm not linking it, but someone hijacked a suicidal person's thread and encouraged them to further embrace their suicidal emotions...
I want to see someone get banned for girls' club commentary
What's the Major Nelson story?
She may have sex with others, but I'm the only one she makes love to.
As if a likes system on ResetEra wouldn’t be used by the lessers to attempt to be noticed and suck up to those seen as prominent. Nobody would like posts that go against the grain for fear of reprisals. Be it a banning, added to an ignore list, or having a bunch of forever alones talk shit about them in SECRET DISCORDS.

We dont allow men to have sex with women here
Have you met everyone talking about this? How do you have the gall to call everyone making a certain argument "privileged"? There's black people here talking about it, there's lgbt people talking about it, there's disabled people talking about it. In this thread! It's fucking disgusting to reduce every argument into a "you're privileged" shouting match when you don't know the first thing about the other person. Privilege is something important to acknowledge and talk about, it's not a cudgel you can use against everyone that steps out of line

This is a terrible idea and would make the forum many times worse.
Imagine not understanding why likes would work against productive discussion.
You really couldn't imagine how it could have negative impact?
It could foster an environment of chasing likes, there must be ways you can understand how that be negative?And... why would they be good exactly?
Liking a post is not "having an opinion heard".
We're not disabling a feature.. we're not adding the feature... because the mods did their jobs and decided not to add it.
And adding likes would generate more of the thing you don't like (clout chasing), and add literally nothing of value.
Adding likes would dramatically reduce the quality of the forums.
High liked posts would discourage people from posting opposing opinions, it would create bias when people enter threads and see those posts, it would generate more clout chasing and shit post style humour, it would actively discourage productive discussion for all of these reasons.
Thankfully the staff will do neither, most likely.
Do you have any way of proving likes helped generate those things?
Yep, a huge reasom why they would be terrible. This forum attracts many lurker accounts, dog whistles, very careful trolls... it would be absolutely ripe for the shit you mention.
Honestly surprised at the people calling for likes.Thankfully, it's almost certainly never happen here.

"I was in a psychotic state after almost being robbed and beaten to a pulp by five immigrants who accused me of drugging someone inside the bar I was in with my friends," he said."I have bad ADHD and most likely schizophrenia; I am seeing a psychiatrist and trying to cope with life being overworked burned out and anxious all the time."I removed the tweets as fast as possible, and my Twitter account to protect myself from this kind of situation. What I said was disgusting and inhumane, so yes I am very sorry to anyone who was affected by this."
