I like how era mods takeaway from the complaints about how they handle "duration pending" was that era members are too stupid to know what "pending" means
User banned (duration pending admin review, subject to change): dismissing concerns around transphobia, prior related ban for driveby trolling in a sensitive thread.People dismissing everything because of the transphobic parts.
There’s no problem with any of them and there’s no difference between moron, idiot etc and distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. It’s stupid how that one is suddenly not ok when those other words are accepted and mean the same damn thing.
I wonder how Brihana would explain, not that it matters, since she holds no political power, and will spend the rest of her political life speaking to the converted, as seen by her new podcast grift, instead of say, using her Harvard Law degree to get poor people out of jail, that in the recent Missouri Medicaid expansion, the special rural white working class, voted far less for Medicaid expansion, as opposed to the neoliberal PMC's in the suburbs?
Should basically sticky this for every new Dunkey post until he apologizes.
You don't get that sweet patreon money for your new podcast with chapo garbagepeople by being nice, they threatened to dox people on their first episode.Great way to make reactionaries out of normie Dems. It's insane, because the party needs progressives moving the bar so we don't get ideologically ossified.
Maybe we as a country need to get to a place where cops aren't killing civilians, and civilians aren't killing cops, out on the streets

I'll leave it up for prosperity, regardless.https://twitter.com/TheStuffOfMemes/status/1305207416439611394As someone who actually read the book, the outrage totally ignores the context of the conversation. It’s early in the private detective’s investigation and a witness puts someone in a burqa at the scene of the crime the same night the victim dies. The police think the victims wife killed him but the main character does not, and he’s trying to prove it wasn’t her. They have no suspects yet and the detective merely points out that a man could easily have used a burqa to disguise his identity as well and to assume nothing. It’s not a statement on gender but on making no assumptions or ruling out any possibility until they know more.They also bring up the possibility that there was no burqa at all and the witness could be a crazy islamophobe./marrec

My business ignorance is wondering if that game can drop the HP branding and alter some content so she doesn't get a cent from copies sold (assuming they can't take the money back from buying the rights). People would still buy a HP-alike, right?

QuoteHave you ever lived in an actual communist country, comrade? Because if you have, you wouldn't be using "comrade", even as a joke.Literally nobody has because a communist country has never existed. comrade is a great gender-neutral term.
Ok, so you're talking about some hypothetical socialist utopia. Let me change the question than: have you lived in a country that attempted to achieve this way of living? No? Because the path towards it is filled with terrible human rights violations, as I witnessed first hand.
I have. A 6 months internship in a Cuban university during my PhD thesis.
Bruh I literally went to school with people from Cuba, most of which were eager to return.
That's a really good trailer that hits you with a ton of bricks at the end with the "Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin" so you know its going to be unwatchable shit
She is a type that would tell a non binary person/gay man to "stop mansplainnig!", while using a name that used to torture their group and others of the LGBTQ+ community. But then Terfs also are convinced that being a Lesbian is a "choice for women" and not something that actual Gay women can't help being. So they wish to erase the too. The darker aspect of that is: So many predators among the TERF community that prey on young gay girls. It's really like they declared WAR on the LGBTQ+ community decades ago. They literally have killed us! And now with Mom's net idiots, whom are abusive to children on the spectrum, ... they are a very vile group indeed (Look up, what vile practices these Antivax "Autism Speaks" "Moms" do to their kids... it's.. very vile. Think Bleach Enemas!).Such an upstanding citizen of English society. Gosh.. Scots, get the heck out of there if is this is their best!
Islamophobia and transphobia are pretty big in the UK media. No?

QuoteQuoteCuba does exceptionally well as a democracyhow is cuba a democracy when it is a one party state?Cubans are elected by their community to the National Assembly. They have hundreds of seats that are filled voluntarily as even when elected, an assembly nominee does not have to accept. Even if there is in name only one party, they operate as a direct democracy that meets multiple times a year to debate on policy change.

There's drama in the secret santa thread. Lord. https://www.resetera.com/threads/2019-resetera-secret-santa.150918/page-17
Quotenicoga3000Should probably just try and offer some sort of explanation, it's totally stopped me from participating this year and that's a shame. But these people some sort of explanation. And as you were last seen at nearly 6am, less than two hours ago, grow a pair and be fair.What?Sorry, I haven't seen any notifications from this thread. I only noticed it when you fucking stalked me on Reddit. Get over yourself.I'm done hosting Secret Santa here. I don't feel comfortable doing it with COVID-19 this year. And considering I've already been mixed about other issues I have with this site as a whole, I just don't feel like it makes sense anymore for me. Someone who is more invested in the vision and community is better off.

QuoteNot gonna lie, the Kamala criticism instantly made me raise an eyebrow.Same. It gave the video an overall tone I didn’t quite vibe with. Being entirely dismissive of Kamala, without so much of an acknowledgment of the positive she brings to the table, almost entirely on the basis that they’d have apparently preferred one of the characters from the (bizarrely homogenous) MCU...and that being in complete contradiction with the video making sure to emphasize that Girlfriend has zero relationship to Marvel characters but that’s okay because she’s loved plenty of games with previously unknown characters...just seemed jarringly, uhm, close-minded?I get wanting to see more of this or that character, but for real, this game almost immediately seemed stale after the initial announcement focused on showing boring-ass video game versions of The Avengers we’ve already had years and years of exposure to. Kamala is all that makes the game feel even the slightest bit fresh. How can you not be a little open-minded to, or even excited about, the idea of a Pakistani Muslim character who hasn’t had much (any?) visual media representation getting the spotlight instead?

very lame. I always participated under the assumption that screwing someone over meant a ban, so there was too much on the line for someone to be a scammer.

QuoteNo, you're completely the opposite. You're disproportionate love fest for this game and willingness the defend it to the death, even for aspects you have no clue about, is just as bad as people irrationally hating it. GTFO with your guilty trip bullshit and making this personal. Fuck you.

That poor girlfriend, being obviously puppeteed by the MAN with no agency of her own.
The dismissal of Kamala is the exact same talking points that comicsgate folk used when she became an Avenger in the comics. Real bad look.
I think girlfriend reviews completely discredited itself with this review. Kamala hate was uncalled for because it was the best part of the game and saying "people came for avengers not some unknown" sounds a lot like comicgate stuff to me. MY EYEBROW IS RAISED.
