I've never been to any amusement park, aside from those nomad luna park ones, when i was little.
A buddy of mine went to Disneyland Paris once, and i was seething (i was always the poor kid in the group, so i was seething often), but then never got the appeal, past that age (10y old or so).

The only reason i could see someone older than 10 or 12 going, is if you're a teenager bringing their date there or an adult bring their kids.

Not even trying to shame now, just genuinely don't understand what's enjoyable about Mickey Mouse and shit as an adult.
Rollercoasters and Ferris Wheels, fair enough, but you don't need to go to DW for those.

I enjoy the attention to detail and workmanship. Like how everything is custom-designed, and the clever tricks like forced perspective. Kind of the same reason why I have no interest in Harry Potter but loved the studio tour. Most theme parks I go to are fairly utilitarian rollercoaster parks where they'll throw up some steel fencing and call it a day.

But I'm averaging a Disney park every 20 years at this point. Can't imagine doing it multiple times a week.

We went to Disneyland Paris for New Year 2019 and came back with severe flu symptoms, so there's a non-zero chance we brought COVID into the country from that petri dish

The Grace Church School in Manhattan, for example, offers a 12-page guide to “inclusive language,” which discourages people from using the word “parents”—“folks” is preferred—or from asking questions like “what religion are you?” (When asked for comment, Rev. Robert M. Pennoyer II, the assistant head of school, replied: “Grace is an Episcopal school. As part of our Episcopal identity, we recognize the dignity and worth common to humanity.” He added that the guide comes “from our desire to promote a sense of belonging for all of our students.”) A Harvard-Westlake English teacher welcomes students back after summer with: “I am a queer white womxn of European descent. I use [ she | her ] pronouns but also feel comfortable using [ they | them ] pronouns.” She attached a “self-care letter” quoting Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

The science program at Fieldston would make any parent swoon. The electives for 11th- and 12th-graders, according to the school’s website, include immunology, astronomy, neuroscience, and pharmacology.

But physics looks different these days. “We don’t call them Newton’s laws anymore,” an upperclassman at the school informs me. “We call them the three fundamental laws of physics. They say we need to ‘decenter whiteness,’ and we need to acknowledge that there’s more than just Newton in physics.”

In this worldview, complexity itself is a kind of racism, nuance is a phobia, and skepticism merely a type of false consciousness. Ibram Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, plainly spelled out the logic on Twitter recently: “The heartbeat of racism is denial. And too often, the more powerful the racism, the more powerful the denial.”

One teacher told me that he was asked to teach an antiracist curriculum that included a “pyramid” of white supremacy. At the top was genocide. At the bottom was “two sides to every story.”

“‘Two sides to every story,’” he said. “That was on the racist pyramid.”

Consider this story, from Chapin, the tony all-girls school on the Upper East Side, involving a white girl in the lower grades who came home one day and told her father: “All people with lighter skin don’t like people with darker skin and are mean to them.” He was horrified as she explained that that was what she had been taught by her teachers. “I said to her: that’s not how we feel in this family.”

At Harvard-Westlake, the school recently administered the debunked implicit-bias test to tenth-graders. It was technically optional, but several parents I spoke with said that their children felt compelled to take it. One mother confided that her son said to her, “Mom, I just found out I’m a racist and I prefer White Europeans.” Her child is mixed race. “For my kid to come home and be told by his school you are a racist—I was aghast. I was so, so angry.”

In Brooklyn, a STEM teacher known to be friendly among skeptical students laughed when he told me the latest absurdity: students told him that their history class had a unit on Beyoncé, and they felt compelled to say that they loved her music, even if they did not. “I thought: they aren’t even entitled to their own musical preferences,” he said. “What does it mean when you can’t even tell the truth about how music affects you?”

I will never understand the adult obsession with Disney parks but maybe I’m just a grouch. I can’t imagine standing in line with a mask on in the hot sun to ride something I’ve been on hundreds of times.

Most adults who go to the parks now the tips and tricks on how to not end up waiting in long lines. I go to Disney about 7-8 times a month and I never wait more than 20-30 minutes for anything. Usually I go, have a few drinks and a snack, go on a ride or two and leave. In and out in a few hours.

   

“Which brings me to something else I should make clear: In no way am I suggesting that adults who enjoy Disney World with the same passion as their children are vapid dickwits. I’m stating for a fact and putting it into the record that they are vapid dickwits. I saw grown men—fathers—wearing Winnie the Pooh T-shirts and having their pictures taken with genies and giant ducks. The expression “Finding your inner child” is just that—an expression. You’re not literally supposed to act on it, especially in front of your kids, who see you as their protector.”

Hah, yeah mods are where people go wild. But as someone who've been modding for decades, I noticed something lately as I replay Dragon Age Origins. People are starting to make good mods too.

It's more comforting to some people that every act be part of a larger plan, in this case "white supremacist domestic terror" than it possibly be near random violence. If the guy was targeting a specific person, hence the visits to multiple locations, and simply shooting whoever he found, that's scary because nobody can plan for and stop that. But if he's doing it to further a white supremacist goal, that's theoretically stoppable in a panopticon society like ResetERA.com favors because he would have been under surveillance.

Yeah, exactly. Media is leaning into his "sex addiction," but it justifies nothing. Committing murder because of misogyny is still a hate crime. Moreover, this is doubly insulting because of its implicit fetishizing of Asian women (because if your mind immediately jumps to sex when you think of Asian women, fuck you).

YOU are part of the problem that made these racists comfortable enough to act on their hate.

WHAT THE FUCK THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY?

The problem here is that you're already having to qualify the horrible racism going around the world with "well, the CCP is evil, but..." It doesn't actually help the conversation, and you're greatly mistaken if you think discussion on ERA successfully delineates between Chinese people and their government. So many threads based on kneejerk headlines and news immediately turn into "fuck the CCP" when China or Chinese people are involved, only for it to turn out there's no connection.

There is undeniably a culture on ERA and other liberal circles where people feel they must always bring up tenuous at best connections to the CCP to criticize them. It's essentially Cold War 2.0. If it's like that here, it's way worse in right-wing circles. And those people don't care about the victims of the CCP, you can bet on that..

“There is no connection, no sir, CCP has nothing to do”.

[HaughtyFrank]

So many threads based on kneejerk headlines and news immediately turn into "fuck the CCP" when China or Chinese people are involved, only for it to turn out there's no connection.

How does that work? If it's involving China wouldn't one or the other have to be connected to it?

Anyway, if some gets mad about "fuck CCP" they're rather suspect

[benjipwns]

Yeah, exactly. Media is leaning into his "sex addiction," but it justifies nothing. Committing murder because of misogyny is still a hate crime. Moreover, this is doubly insulting because of its implicit fetishizing of Asian women (because if your mind immediately jumps to sex when you think of Asian women, fuck you).

The part that you didn't bold actually is what gets me. MULTIPLE MURDERS, and being charged for the MURDERS isn't good enough, even though that's life in prison and in some cases still the death penalty. No, we need to focus on the HATE CRIME that may underlie the MULTIPLE MURDERS.

[Uncle]

why would the excuse of sex addiction = misogyny when it's possible for any gender to be addicted to sex

the claim should be "you're lying about being sex addicted, you're just simply misogynistic" not "you're sex addicted, which is exactly the same as being misogynistic"

https://www.resetera.com/threads/white-people-we-need-to-talk-about-white-supremacy-and-our-role-in-it.395761/

This is a long time coming, too long honestly. Marginalized communities of Era have shouldered the burden of this discussion, with only a handful of white people to voice support only to have discussions leave the front page. I want white people to start taking more action on this front and I'll start with this thread.

We all have the instinct to see ourselves as the good-hearted protagonist of our own story. That we can't possibly be capable of evil in any shape, but we really need to look at ourselves and realize we easily can be.

You can see us try to ignore it. Mental illness is often wrongly diagnosed and a go-to scapegoat to make us feel better. "Something must be wrong with them, they aren't like me", but you need to reconcile with the fact that racism is not a "bug" in our white-dominated society, it is the only conclusion to it. It is human and we can't keep pretending we are that removed from it ourselves.

"So," you say, "what am I supposed to do? I'm not racist, I think what is happening is awful. I don't contribute to white supremacy."

1. If you are white, you contribute and benefit from white supremacy every day. Period. It's a fact you need to internalize and learn from. Personally, I have benefited by things as simple as not being afraid of police when pulled over. I have contributed by saying stupid shit on behalf of others I have no business saying. Does that make me a bad person? You know what, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I recognize it and try to always do better, not to feel good about myself, but to help make the world better for others. If I say something that hurts someone, they are not obligated to forgive me, no matter how sorry I actually am.

2. You need to confront family and friends. We've seen the threads on this. Depending on how bad your family is, it's not the easiest subject to breach and can end in cutting ties completely. The thing is, we are in a position of privilege that allows us to have this conversation at all. There are activists who would love to have that amount of respect from their opposition even if, in the end, it doesn't change their mind.

3. When marginalized communities speak up, shut up and listen. I can't understand why this is still a problem when it's the easiest thing in the world to understand. The amount of defensiveness I've seen when someone calls out "big company/person x" for "x-ism/phobia" is ridiculous. No, the person criticizing doesn't have to be right, but they sure as fuck know better than I do and I can respect their perspective enough to not shout it down. Be aware that just because the majority agrees with you doesn't make you right. This board is primarily white, American, cis, heterosexual, men. It is very easy for that group to drown others out by sheer number.

4. Racism does not have to be conscious. More often than not, it's not. It is not an unknowable evil. This is important to get through your head: YOU CAN BE UNINTENTIONALLY RACIST AND THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE YOU ARE.

I don't want marginalized communities to be the ones to have to support this discussion, but you are obviously welcome to participate and call out behavior. The Asian-era community in particular has been ignored a lot recently regarding the rising anti-Asian sentiment and as a heavy lurker I can't say I wasn't partially responsible.

I hope white people reflect on what I'm saying and have an open mind. If your first thought is to be defensive, I implore you step back, think about why, and please watch the below videos, which have been linked here before first. This isn't about being right it's about being better and it can be an uncomfortable feeling.

If the "news" thread was asians spouting off and making spurious claims I would say that's just a healthy reaction to such a shooting.  But it's full of the usual, "I'm the MOST saddened by this!" drama crowd claiming he's going to not even be charged, he'll be pardoned, he'll live like a king in prison.

It really doesn't make for good reading for the accuser. On-record accusations of witness tampering on the plaintiff's part, including bribery and intimidation, lies about their references and job history, using the company credit card for personal expenses that weren't paid back, previous frivolous litigation.

I don't know if Riot's current CEO is guilty or if he's a harasser (I worked there but never with him and not when he was CEO), but it does seem based off of this information that there are serious credibility concerns with the plaintiff.

It would be pretty disgusting if this panned out to be a false accusation. It does no good for real victims.

I listened to a podcast and there was a good example of white privilege that I wasn't aware of, and I'll give a personal example. I'm a white person in a predominately white neighborhood, and I've been pulled over by the police 3 times just walking. But since I'm white, I have the advantage of knowing it wasn't because of racial profiling, so it's quite easy for me to just move on. A POC in the same situation would not have the same the benefit of just assuming it's a nosy cop, and would have to ask themselves if they were being racially profiled, ESPECIALLY if they're in a majority white neighborhood.

How am I contributing to white supremacy just because I'm white? I do not understand this. What am I doing? I actually feel insulted by blunt statements like this because I'm on your side. I've seen this argument multiple times and the only thing it has ever done was antagonizing people who aren't the problem. Perhaps calling people racist dickheads isn't a good idea if you want to try to teach them something.

 

[Boredfrom]

.  Yeah threatening witnesses with violence miiiiiight be relevant to the veracity of her claims.

Let's examine what is actually being said in these filed documents though:

Exhibit A (claims from first witness):
- Witness with close working relationship with RIOT CEO (sounds like a nanny or cleaner of some sort), claims RIOT CEO would never do this
- Claims Sharon approached her and asked for her help with suit. Witness says no.
- Claims Sharon proceeds to leak her number to the press and call her over the next few months using blocked numbers.
- Witness loses job due to harassment from journalists/media
- Says that Sharon told her "lets file the lawsuit together, dont you know if you join the lawsuit you can make $500,000"

Exhibit B (claims from second witness):
- Witness with close working relationship to RIOT CEO
- Approached by Sharon to join lawsuit to make money, declines
- Receives multiple threatening phone calls telling her to join the suit
- One caller says he knows where she lives

Exhibit C (claims from riot):
- Riot claims Sharon previously attempted to blackmail multiple film producers by threatening to email the chinese government (?) if she wasn't paid within one business day (her attorney quit after this)
- Solicited other employees to lie about sexual harassment by CEO in exchange for a payout
- Spent 10k a month on vacations / luxury goods with a company card
- Lied about being Larry Ellisons main assistant for 8 years, which got her the (6 figure) job in the first place
- Apparently runs multiple shell companies to dodge taxes while employed by riot?
- She had a dozen HR complaints in less than a year

Even disregarding riots claims, which they almost certainly have the receipts for since they were submitted to the court, the testimony of the two witnesses says a lot.

It's time for ERA members to have a race tag. Make it easier to see who ain't slick

I like how nobody picked up on Riot sending the legal documents to all their employees. Riot has 2500+ employees. They wanted the documents to leak their side of the story out so nobody could do what ResetERA.com members were attempting to do. And someone quickly obliged.

How am I contributing to white supremacy just because I'm white? I do not understand this. What am I doing? I actually feel insulted by blunt statements like this because I'm on your side. I've seen this argument multiple times and the only thing it has ever done was antagonizing people who aren't the problem. Perhaps calling people racist dickheads isn't a good idea if you want to try to teach them something.

 

That's the trick, if you're defensive about contributing to white supremacy you're contributing to white supremacy.

. After Shari's lawsuit was filed, I received many calls, texts, and messages from journalists [...] I lost my job with another employer because of all the harassment that I received from journalists [...] I know that it must have been Shari that gave out my number to journalists [...] on February 16, 2021 Shari called me [...] She told me that she either gave my number to journalists or her attorney

I want to know who these journalists are, that shit is not okay.

Since her lawsuit was filed, Shari has texted and called me, sometimes with no caller ID. There have been times when I answered a random number and Shari is on the line.

nice

For example, Defendants recently learned that this is not the first time a defendant has reported that Plaintiff lodged false claims in court.  In March 2018 (during her employment at Riot, but unknown to many at the time), Plaintiff sued multiple international film producers to obtain a “finder’s fee”  for  allegedly  introducing  them  to  Mel  Gibson—something,  according  to  the  defendants  in  that  case, she did not (and likely could not) do.  (See O’Donnell v. Hollywood International Film Exchange, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC698392.)  The film producers counter-sued Plaintiff for fraud, and accused her of using threats of “blackmail” and “libel” to extract the sum of money she demanded.    According  to  the  counter  claim,  Plaintiff  allegedly  went  so  far  as  to  threaten  sending  a  “mass email” to the “Chinese Government, China film group, all top personnel & financiers of [the movie], all of [her] Hollywood acquaintances . . . and [Mel] Gibson” if the film producers did not pay her within one business day.  (See id., Aug. 24, 2018 Second Amended Cross-Complaint.)   

Plaintiff’s own attorney in that case sought to be relieved as counsel, stating that Plain-tiff: “adopted a position regarding the litigation which created an irreconcilable difference” between them, which “rendered it unreasonably difficult” for him to carry out his representation “effectively”; and “failed to comply with a material obligation” under their written fee agreement.

 

oh yeah, we got a crazy plaintiff here

She also lied to get hired by Riot in the first place

Central  to  the  decision  to  hire  Plaintiff  for  the  role  was  the  prior  experience  she  de-scribed  on  her  resume,  including  the  nearly  eight  years  she  claimed  to  have  spent  as  the  Executive  Assistant to Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle.  This prior experience also played a role in the com-pensation package Plaintiff negotiated, which included a six figure annual salary and additional yearly incentive pay. 

In hindsight, Plaintiff’s credentials were likely too good to be true.  Although Plaintiff was referred to Riot by a reputable placement firm, on information and belief, Defendants now believe that her prior work experience (including working for Mr. Ellison for eight years), and potentially even her educational background, may have been overstated, misrepresented, or entirely fabricated.  When Defendants requested Plaintiff’s references, on information and belief, Plaintiff went so far as to create fake identities for two of her friends,  and listed them as Mr. Ellison’s “Property Manager” and “Chief of Staff.” 

This was not the only lie that Plaintiff told to get herself hired.  Plaintiff, an Irish citizen, claimed during the interview process to be immediately eligible to work in the United States.  But this was not true.  Then, Plaintiff said she would obtain the necessary approvals in only a few weeks, then another week, then another, and so on.

Whoops:

As noted before, despite having ample opportunity to do so, Plaintiff never made any allegations about harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or her classification as an exempt employee during the entire course of her employment or after her termination.  Indeed, as further explained below, the only time Plaintiff came even remotely close to a policy violation investigation during her employ-ment was in 2018, when Plaintiff attempted to intervene on behalf of a male employee being termi-nated  because  she  was  concerned  that  Riot  was  too  quick  to  terminate  men  based  on  harassment  accusations.

Riot  also  asked  Plaintiff  to  participate  in  a  separate  exit  interview  with  Human  Re-sources  (without  Laurent)  on  two  occasions—but  both  times,  Plaintiff failed  to  show  up.
