I'm not going to link to them but there is several places that take a lot of screenshots of posts here to make fun of them like it's a sitcom they seem to be heavily invested in. It's kind of weird.
someone who spends his life screenshotting era posts for twitter was celebrating and I'm just like, dude, you wouldn't have a twitter account without era

User Banned (1 Month): Hostility, Inflammatory Accusations of Bigotry Over a Series of Posts

Stop fucking lying, gaslighting and putting your strawman in other peoples mouths.

Its fucking disgusting.

Not shoving your fucking religion down other peoples throats with shit like abortion laws is not being forced to renounce your faith. You like to ACT like it is, because you are taught proselytizing is your God given right and duty to do to others, and that power to force onto other people clearly fucking resonates with you. But its not your right, and not getting to shove your shit down other peoples throats is not you being opressed.

They.
Are
Not
The.
Same
Thing

I know your fucking shit like the back of my hand. You arent fooling anyone with this pretend to be the victim crap. It's literally the first default go to tactic. I grew up in this slimy two faced shit pile of 'rhetoric'. It's literally the reason I dropped religion the second I was able to escape.
Quote
No, they never said that, they said they want to get them to stop using their control of the lawmaking process to stop fucking forcing their religion on others, and would be HAPPY to see the best case scenario of them CHOOSING to renounce their faith. You, are trying to conflate that with abusing the law to FORCE your beliefs on others, as if they are the same thing, you are blatantly lying and everything you say past that is blatant gaslighting.

I am done with you, you are the WORST kind of bad faith actor.
Quote
And he continues the lie unabated as if no one can tell the difference between CHOOSING and abusing the systemically biased system if law to FORCE.

This is just gross on a messageboard. But this weasel shit from a position of power?

That's why op.

User Banned (2 Months): Inflammatory Accusations of Bigotry Over a Series of Posts, Previous Severe Bans for Similar Behavior

And yet deep down, you probably have thoughts about the nature of their identities that you wouldn’t dare post publicly on ResetEra. Most mainstream religions are highly bigoted institutions. Being outwardly tolerant and friendly doesn’t mean shit if internally you believe their very existence to be rooted in sin.
Good talk.

Unfortunately this will probably be deleted.

If I remember correctly, Era has had an article before and it almost always gets deleted because it doesn't meet notability requirements and we're more or less considered a footnote of NeoGAF.

Furthermore, it's painting a little too Rosy of a picture of us...kinda weird tbh.

Sorry to be a downer, but that Wikipedia page is a whole lot of nothing. David Jaffe calling us rude? A quote tweet from the Octopath Traveler account? The Mario Golf Aces box art seen days early? My resume has more notable achievements than those listed in this article. This will be deleted or redirected.

yeah.

and what major devs even post here regularly? GAF had that rep but it was certainly waning in the years prior to everyone coming here, and the handful of devs who do or did post here were either banned, left because they didn't want to deal with the mess, or work on mobile games.

it probably deserves a page truth be told but the previous decision to delete made sense. "Registered Users" is a joke statistic given the immense number of bans and alts that the site attracts.

"All these people on Twitter who hate us or poke fun at us, its crazy how much of it I see on there"

This is where sane individuals would look at WHY there is so much of that on Twitter. But they'll just bury their heads back in the sand and say it's everyone else who are the crazy ones.

Damn, I'd like to see the same amount of effort ITT when it comes to dissuading white people from buying guns.
Half of these people in here won't even talk to their racist family during the holidays.

Let's just throw it out there. The issue here is people are afraid of black people getting guns because black people with guns are terrifying. The quotation of statistics is an ad hoc justification for that reaction.

Like, only five or so non-black people, if that, have said that the way to properly disarm is to address the reasons for why black people feel the need to arm up, which is white supremacy.

But we circle back around to my first observation.

This thread is a joke.

Wow, nepenthe claiming that people in that thread only have issues with gun buying because it's black people buying guns.

I can partially understand this whole Black Panther arm yourself concept but to brand anyone who takes issue with it as racist is such classic era.

There are idiots in that thread promoting the fucking NRA and Nepenthe brushes it off

Quote
If this thread is a joke then you can lock it since you are an admin. We've got people in here literally promoting the "training arm" of the NRA which is known racist institution instead of an ethical one for this type of subject.
It's interesting that that's the thing in here that offended you most. You also don't know how my job works.

Job.  That sounds as suspicious as this so called land known as "peru."

I guess we can add "Peruvians," to the list of how era treats asians and jews

That's Era in a nutshell.  Ban books, zack Snyder, and twinkies because the wrong people might use them.  But not from me of course.  Im too smart.

If there's one lesson from the black NRA chapter thread, it's that if you're on Resetera, you do not, under any circumstances, try to engage with the BCT nutters.

add tax fraud to the wiki bois  8)

Out of all the crimes I still think cheering on some idiot stealing hospital supplies for a friend who was scared they would be murdered by their doctor was probably the most dangerous.
At some point the FBI will give Cerium an early morning wake up call and then the idea to hide behind 'volunteers' who are not responsible on paper doesn't look so good anymore.

CTE affects people differently. The brain is fragile, some people with CTE will have extreme reactions to it.

If it's possible, there will be a test here for CTE and it will most likely show that Adams had CTE which indicates he struggled with controlling his emotions and impulse control and will have played a factor in what happened. The data we already have strongly supports this.

Statistics and data are now a reliable way to understand gun murders again.

Something... Hell... Scorn...

Nintendo fans are insane

"A product of horrifically bad decisions if only for the remaster. Nintendo offered to take it on with the obvious condition it'd remain exclusive (duh), but for whatever reason PG wanted it on other platforms (why) and Nintendo because reasons allowed it, they'd just have to go at it on their own (duh).

And the result was a very clumsy kickstarter (the game was basically done on Switch, major red flag), and the Switch version at minimum was fairly poorly made. It somehow ran even worse than on Wii U (this tells us why Bayo 1 and 2 were still 720p but yet TW101 was 1080p).

Plus they seemed to have made pretty questionable design choices (that picture-in-picture thing, the fuck?). Nintendo would've made sure it was ship-shape. But low and behold this happened and nothing anyone can do about it now.

Nintendo would have the last laugh as many speculate Nintendo traded their share of TW101 for PG's half of the Astral Chain rights. YIKES! LOL"

From members only thread.

Hecht officially hates black people. Admin summit when?

Quote from: Hecht, post: 62429003, member: 16
Taking off my staff hat here. This is my own personal opinion  ---

I mean, I don't PERSONALLY hate the idea of the thread. I was in the military, I got my Expert Marskaman ribbon, and i know about the proper handling and usage of a firearm.  I do not personally own a firearm for my own reasons, but if one were to suddenly appear before me, I would know how to use it.  I am also totally on board with efforts to ban and/or restrict gun ownership, because imo, the less guns that exist, the better.  I do, however, also acknowledge that bad actors exist, but - and this is a very strong "but" - the likelihood of anyone encountering a situation where a gun is necessary is extremely unlikely.  I won't sit back and lecture someone on why owning a firearm is a bad idea, simply because there are many reasons why someone may or may not wish to own one.  Some places are more dangerous than others, and the idea of owning one for protection can be enticing. I will always be an advocate for non-violence but I understand that there are edge cases where that may not be an option.

All that said, Era should be a place where we practice what we preach. I understand that our users are not a monolith and that there are differing opinions. But if we consistently have threads decrying things like police and gun violence, it is hard to accept having a thread that discusses users' guns - even if it is couched in the guise of safety and the like (and believe me, if anyone is going to own a weapon, I desperately want them to have knowledge of gun safety and whatnot).

With the US being the way that it is, this will always be a contentious subject, and I hope people can debate it in a civil manner.  Some people will want to own weapons for reasons that may not be apparent to other areas of the country/globe, and that's okay. Sure, we can talk about the potential other effects to that ownership, but most people aren't making this acquisition lightly, and they don't deserve to be derided for it.  Unless they're sitting around talking about the cool new sight or grip they got, then eesh - it's a gun, not a collectible toy.

I also wish people can discuss games being on different consoles in a friendly manner, but that might be just me pissing into the wind. Seriously, get the fuck over it. Play what you like where you can.

I was in the military, I got my Expert Marskaman ribbon, and i know about the proper handling and usage of a firearm.  I do not personally own a firearm for my own reasons, but if one were to suddenly appear before me, I would know how to use it.  I am also totally on board with efforts to ban and/or restrict gun ownership, because imo, the less guns that exist, the better.  I do, however, also acknowledge that bad actors exist, but - and this is a very strong "but" - the likelihood of anyone encountering a situation where a gun is necessary is extremely unlikely.  I won't sit back and lecture someone on why owning a firearm is a bad idea, simply because there are many reasons why someone may or may not wish to own one.  Some places are more dangerous than others, and the idea of owning one for protection can be enticing. I will always be an advocate for non-violence but I understand that there are edge cases where that may not be an option.

All that said, Era should be a place where we practice what we preach. I understand that our users are not a monolith and that there are differing opinions. But if we consistently have threads decrying things like police and gun violence, it is hard to accept having a thread that discusses users' guns - even if it is couched in the guise of safety and the like (and believe me, if anyone is going to own a weapon, I desperately want them to have knowledge of gun safety and whatnot).

With the US being the way that it is, this will always be a contentious subject, and I hope people can debate it in a civil manner.  Some people will want to own weapons for reasons that may not be apparent to other areas of the country/globe, and that's okay. Sure, we can talk about the potential other effects to that ownership, but most people aren't making this acquisition lightly, and they don't deserve to be derided for it.  Unless they're sitting around talking about the cool new sight or grip they got, then eesh - it's a gun, not a collectible toy.

I also wish people can discuss games being on different consoles in a friendly manner, but that might be just me pissing into the wind. Seriously, get the fuck over it. Play what you like where you can.

CTE affects people differently. The brain is fragile, some people with CTE will have extreme reactions to it.

If it's possible, there will be a test here for CTE and it will most likely show that Adams had CTE which indicates he struggled with controlling his emotions and impulse control and will have played a factor in what happened. The data we already have strongly supports this.

Statistics and data are now a reliable way to understand gun murders again.

how monumentally fucked up is it that people keep doing the "YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE DATA!!" dance? the implications are just gross

this might be the most fucked up thread I've ever seen on this forum tbh. white supremacists are waltzing into places of worship and slaughtering black people and these smug ass motherfuckers have the nerve to be like "well I can respect your decision to arm yourselves but ONLY IF YOU DON'T IGNORE THE DATA!"

absolutely vile

feel like shit for the black people who have read this thread and have to deal with bullshit like this in their lives

this forum is discouraging

I can't speak for other posters, only myself, but I'm a black socialist, and I'm not saying "how great guns are". There's a greater discussion about the right of the people to bear arms in a state and should the state have a monopoly on being armed but I'm not even going to bother with that now. What I'm saying is that conditions in the US have made gun ownership by black Americans desirable and perhaps even necessary. That's not on us, we didn't create these conditions, this is an outcome we've been forced to.

And so It's just not helpful to get lectured on black gun ownership as long as America remains a racist country with more guns than people.

This.

CTE played a part and the NFL 100% needs to be responsible for their players health care even after they are out of the league. They have the money easily. But he still pulled the trigger. The good kid stuff is just bullshit.

I'm confused at why it is even a question.

Nazis and Nazis supporters in office, police gets caught on cam and no punishment, white dude goes shoot up a bunch of minorities or another mass murder. Black people buying more guns is an effect, not a cause.

It takes a broken mind to kill children dude. So it's not an excuse. It's not a scapegoat. If it were my kids fuck him forever but also fuck the NFL for assisting with this culture of bravado and "toughness" that convinces players it can't happen to them and that getting help is some form of weakness. All so they can make more money off peoples bodies. Shit they NOT my kids and I'm still like fuck him forever.

So I get what you're saying cause yea dude killed a bunch of people including babies. It's just that type of brain injury fucks with ones ability to regulate emotions and impulse control. We can't deal with that if we don't face facts. And I'd like to prevent this from happening by facing the factors that can impact its cause.

You didn't even read the fucking thread and you chiming in with this fuck shit that's been answered. But here, YES. There are PLENTY of times when guns were good for Black people defending themselves against racist violence in America. God damned you sheltered as shit to not HAVE to know this history and got nerve to open your mouth. You're not qualified to comment on this if you can't be bothered to read. Just read.

Now this posted, I will say most of the Black Gun Ownership thread posters are staying far away from this one. Probably for the best.

The last time I called the cops was because at 6 in the morning someone was beating the shit out of someone in an apartment in the building next door. These are old school NYC storefront/apt building combos, so everything is attached. Because of past incidents I don't call the police unless I had to, but the cries were heartbreaking and the woman I was dating at the time insisted. So I call the cops, get ready to go to work.

Hour later they show up, as opposed to going to where the abuse took place they go to my apartment; I am already gone. She comes down to explain to them what happened and it's next door; instead they give her a hard time to make sure she isn't covering up her own domestic abuse.

Which I understand since many abused people are in that fog, but from her perspective (we are both black) she explained it was less 'Are you hurt maam? is he hurting you?' but 'Stop lying to us, you're wasting our time'. She eventually convinced them I called them to try to help our neighbor, not to report myself (lol), but instead of checking out next door...after all of that they just hopped in their car and drove away without checking up on that apartment.

I never found out what happened to that woman.

So yeah, when the copaganda is like 'We run into danger!!!' its more like a shitty delivery driver...the bare minimum to check off that they tried to do their job. Which is why they arrested the first person they saw here while the domestic abuser was probably going for another round.

Quote from: AlteredBeast
On one particularly long ride back from a rural bar, I did hear the distinctive clink of a belt being undone. I thought to myself, "surely this guy just had a lot to drink or eat and is letting his gut get some room." Nope, I looked back two minutes later and his girlfriend/wife was going to town. Biggest dick I've ever seen in real life, hands down. I said, "whoa! What comes out of there better be Maxwell House Coffee good to the last drop, or you gotta put that shit away! No bodily fluids in my car, guys!" They were a little sheepish and did put it away, but his romantic partner was horny as shit, because she was still all over him for the next 25ish minutes of that ride.

No sex in the car, although one girl told me once that I was so hot she was going to leave a snail trail on my back seat. Both the grossest and funniest thing I've ever heard to this day. My buddies and I now use it as the name of our golf outing we do every year for a friendly tournament, "The Snail Trail Invitational" We even got a trophy made and one of the guys made a logo out of it.

I won last year, so naturally I filled the cup full of Cheetos to eat out of:

“ How am I even supposed to enjoy his return in Street Fighter V if I can’t see that shriveled, yellow dong every time he performs a crouching roundhouse?”

Yellow dong? In the screenshot just above these words his dong is quite clearly not yellow. Wonder where the Kotaku writer pulled that mental image from?

Should probably ban ‘em just to be sure.
