Whats a WS?
A successful white man killed a Japanese woman, his wife, in England in 1977. He served some time in a psychiatric institution before returning to his job.I feel like anyone referring to his rehabilitation should wonder if justice was actually served here.
This forum community has had a distinctly antagonistic tilt (outside of the individual communities) since the back half of the GAF days, in a way a lot of people feel they have to be assholes just to fit in.
When I say I don't know why, I don't mean to blame the platform in any way. This is ABSOLUTELY a personal failing.
i've been banned enough times from getting heated that i just don't bother engaging in much in-depth discussion anymore. i just care about getting my post count up. OP, the thing you have to understand is that no one on this forum will ever change their mind no matter how hard you argue your point, however good or bad. You waste your time trying to engage with some folks here and all it does is get you heated and banned. Because people will use that Report function as a "fuck you"if they feel even a tinge of disrespect. Best thing you can do is type out your thoughts in a reply, look at it, and delete it and ignore the thread. Keeps your blood pressure down and stops you from getting banned.
I've been lucky enough to not ever have been banned somehow, but it was enough for me to have a couple moments where I typed up a huge post, either about something I was passionate about or something I had a lot of knowledge of or just something I felt people were being unfair about, and having the response basically be "ok whatever that was, anyway here's my point again", to make me stop trying to get too deep on here. And we got quite a few people using the site as a debate forum.
Don't ban me, I'm just getting my post count up.

I think it's fairly easy to separate the two.I hope Musk dies or shuts the fuck up forever (either way it'd be a benefit for society).I also hope Tesla and SpaceX thrive (as both companies are doing good things despite being led by an egotistical, narcissistic, lying piece of shit).
This makes me so angry, I am a middle eastern man myself who is lgbt and I don't understand this, it's "shameful" to be gay but not shameful to murder your own family and behead them? The fuck, I hope they rot in jail.
Alireza Fazeli-Monfared, 20, was reportedly murdered by his brother and cousins on Tuesday (4 May) after they discovered the Iranian military exempted him from service because of “sexual depravities”.
I guess they found their Trump replacement to focus their never ending hate and aggression at. Expect near daily threads about Musk from here on out.Them not being able to "cancel" Elon Musk since he's rich as fuck and own his own companies must be driving them nuts though.

So they're doing a """new and improved""" version of their Q&A, this time it's live*!*as in posts are getting screened and approved or not quicker than usualWith none other than Schrieeieeeier.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kfc-spain-decides-that-racism-is-a-good-marketing-ploy.423686/Apparently Europeans are too busy with their own lives to know every single one of the racist stereotypes to come out of America. I imagine this thread gets turned into a bloodbath.
Uh I don't know guys. I'm vaguely aware that blacks liking fried chicken is a hurtful stereotype in the US (and apparently watermelon, too?) but if this ad was run here in Brazil no one would question the supposed racist undertones - because guess what, it's not a universal stereotype. The USA, Spain, Brazil, the West, everyone has their own stereotyping that is harmful if made to an audience that will see it as such. I don't think that this is the case for Spain.I apologize in advance for a terrible analogy but imagine a different ad. Imagine two bakeries and then you're shown people literally running from one of them where the baker is an Asian man doing pastries and then getting into the other that is owned by someone of whatever other ethnic group. International audiences would likely never see the potential harm in it, but here it'd be a scandal because it's stereotyped that Chinese pastries are made using dogs and pigeons as meat. Such an ad could be run pretty much anywhere else in the world and nobody would think race would factor in.Of course I might be wrong and this is also a horrible stereotype elsewhere that I didn't know about. Either way I hope I got my point across.
Whether or not its a stereotype outside America is irrelevant.KFC should no better!!!
I bet Nep is too scared to ban all the racists in that thread. I'd like to see her even trying instead of cowering away.

Oh cool, it's my favorite time of day;When non-Black Era users tell Black people what is and isn't racist, because media and stereotypes definitely don't permeate international borders.Rule of thumb: If you're not Black and you're going to say something "isn't racist", maybe try shutting the fuck up?

QuoteDo you find any interesting parallels or contrasts between games development and working in press or writing books?Yup. I've gotten a lot of questions about this during interviews for Press Reset, actually. There are a lot of similarities between the games industry issues I cover in the book (volatility, mismanagement, devaluing of employees) and the issues that journalists face. The biggest difference? The video game industry actually makes money. Which makes it all the more heinous to hear some of these stories.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/white-lady-makes-spaghetti.423824/That's a strange title coming from a white lady. There're some complicated feelings going on there.Still, maybe there's some schizm between white women and spaghetti, in which case I'm glad that bridges are being mended. Gives me hope that white men and penne can coexist once again.
We could sure use less condescending posters who insult your intelligence for the littlest reasons.

Now that everybody agrees that this clickbait video wasn't worth a thread, what can we do ?Derail to a "stupid food videos" thread ? Or a "LOL White People" one ?
I'm hung up on why the thread title calls the actress "white lady?" Like what's the implication supposed to be here? She's just someone goofing on tiktok, race and gender don't seem relevant?
The only thing less funny than these videos are people who take it seriously.
Incelchief can't catch a break.
I'm glad someone said it.A clickbait title and trash content doesn't make for a good thread. It's not the weekend.
The best part of this thread is that OP clearly thought it was real, rushed here to make yet another low effort “I saw a bad tweet” thread, and then backtracked hard to say well actually the thread is making fun of bad comedy memes.
dunno what's dumber, the people who make these or the people who believe they are "real".
the people who believe this shit is real and make threads about it on resetera.com
