Yanks are weird about their flag.

[Boredfrom]

Dunno, the government here really try to make the Mexican Flag a thing but people are not as passionate as with the US flag with their citizens. Still, flag burning is weird and people here probably will still not like it.

[Potato]

Yeah, but it's only funny when the instigator isn't someone who gets offended at Homer Simpson squeezing his manboobs.

Kilometre (km), also spelled kilometer, unit of length equal to 1,000 metres and the equivalent of 0.6214 mile (see metric system).

Yea I’m not sure what they goal is here. Black discussions need to be held in black spaces ie not on resetera

"Excuse me, but this is a website for airing out everyone else's dirty laundry, not mine. Can I see the manager please?!"

Locked.

Such an American thing to do. Refuse to use the metric system, but insist on spelling metre differently...

[Nintex]

It's a good thing they're teaching white kids to hate themselves for living on stolen land and being toxic. We don't want more flag waving whites unless they wave the white flag.

Banning weed, a substance banned in the vast majority of the world and banned by an international committee is 'stupid', so it shouldn't even count as rule breaking

But it is stupid no matter how many countries jump off a cliff. And the rule it's breaking is "performance enhancing" drug use, which... what kind of operation are they running?

Nah, its just on their banned substances list like ecstacy, coke, etc is.
And its cool and all that various US states recently decided to throw Big Tobacco a new revenue stream, but its still an international committee, so keeping a mostly universal list of banned substances makes sense.

He's an ideologue, as in he doesn't actually care who / how many die in pursuit of proving an idea right, as long as eventually you can maybe say I TOLD YOU SO, and AFAICS him and his ilk are just there to try and recruit people.

The idea that less crunch means you'll end up with soulless ubisoft games is the strongest pro-crunch argument I've ever seen.

It's not crunch when its outsourced to the equivalent of sweat shops in India and Taiwan, and your european employees sign waivers voluntarily opting out of the EU working hours directive

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

This is America. You're free to do what you want; Burn flags, be racist, point out how things are systematically wrong.

I was born here, but I also received lot of privelge. I am not happy with a lot of stuff. Even so, I choose not to condone completely disowning the place that lets me have air conditioning and post on the internet. Yes, things can be better, and they should be.

You can do that, I understand that it's both your right and that things are very different for people not like me. But a blanket statement that I'm bad for enjoying where I come from is something I dislike.

"youre free to be racist" Lmao

I don't know why you're laughing at the given example in a thread literally attempting to anger and offend people who believe in certain things.

[Nintex]

Fully vaxxed and chillin' while I watched people burn a flag that represents a country that gained its independence by killing, subjugating, and oppressing the indigenous people of the land they claimed freedom to, all while hypocritically denying the freedom of the slaves they brought with them. Mind you, the U.S. government has yet to offer a formal apology for any of the aforementioned atrocities, even after all of these years. But yeah, you go ahead and enjoy your beer and BBQ. I'm good.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

all of those pictures from the flag thread seems to be anarchists.

hilarious

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Tempted to toss everyone calling OP an edgelord onto my already crowded ignore list, but I'm not sure there's that much room on it.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

"HEY GUYS, LOOK AT HOW MANY OPINIONS I JUST CAN'T HANDLE!"

[SmokyDave]

I really want them to find out the OP is European, ban them, and close the thread. All of that 'I hate my parents' stuff disappears with a quickness once someone outside the house points a finger.

[Don Rumata]

World Cup and Isis videos are the only socially acceptable instances where flag burning is allowed.
Other countries' flags, that is.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I get that americans have a weird association with the physical object of whats supposed to be an abstract representation, probably due to their daily indoctrination at school where they literally pledge allegiance to an object, but that whole thread is so tryhard edgelord that it is, as the youngsters would have it, well cringe

[Pissy F Benny]

if sgt slaughter burned the American flag these days it would be a face move

"That's nice Brian.  Do you want anymore potato salad?"

[Nintex]

For me it’s probably just years of watching people’s jaws get loosened for flag burning. It’s not like I don’t get why some people do it.

The picture above got it right though, while everyone is being grumpy about America we just use the day as a reason to celebrate getting together and setting off fireworks to 2 in the morning while bbq’ing and hanging in the pool.

Wait the image depecting everyone who isn't partying as communists and Europeans?

That picture is got it right?

Woke up the other morning and felt patriotic, so I got myself permanently banned from REEEEEEE.

I knew it was gonna happen... Totally had it coming.  I just thought it was funny how they're so quick to change to RE logo at the top left to configure to different events, holidays, etc. on a dime; not a moment too soon or too late... It's been 4 days since pride month has passed and they still had their flags flying, so I said fuck it and contacted them to remind them it's over.  I even commented that I loved their E3 ones.
So within a matter of minutes I get a permanent ban warning for "Use of the ticket system to whine about representation. History of false equivalences and both-sides rhetoric." Sure, I can ignore it like most folks do, but l just didn't give a shit anymore... One less board. Lol

So here's to Reset Era...

[Nintex]

people who worship flags should be mocked relentlessly

I've never been conservative in my adult life and the anti-flag shit is cringe.

(Image removed from quote.)

It isn't cringe.

People that invented 200 flags to display their gender are now leading the charge against waving flags

Not sure where I messed up, but I apparently posted that in the wrong thread.

That doesn't seem like a good idea for the long-term health/perception of the site, especially when the guy is abandoning the dog whistles and openly stumping for the guy with the highest body count in recorded history.  Same with Samoyed going all in on revolutionary "we gotta kill a lot of people!" talk.  Not like the militias they join will get very far, but any public association is going to be a problem.

They ain't gonna do shit, if some kind of communist uprising ever happens they'll let others do all the work, then show up with their twitter accounts when its all done and dusted to 'prove' what an 'ally' and an brain they are, then demand some kind of cushy overseer more equal than others role delegating real work to the people that made a revolution happen (then have a 'are we the baddies?' moment when they get Robespierred)

"Comrade, what have you contributed to the revolution?"

"Well, I burned a shitload of evil capitalists--"

"Oh, well done comrade. How many did you burn?"

"Thousands sir. Thousands."

"Remarkable! You truly are a hero of the people. May I ask what you used to burn them? Was it gasoline? Wood? Human bodies can be difficult to burn."

"Twitter sir. I burned them on Twitter."

"Wait a second. Your contribution to this revolution is that you posted a bunch of nasty comments on Twitter?"

"Yes sir. I also have 52,000 posts on the inviting bonfire at the crossroads of the gaming indus-"

"Let me just stop you there. While the rest of us were living secret lives in underground revolutionary cells, hiding from the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the ATF and any other number of acronyms, you were living in your parents' basement posting nasty comments on Twitter and some offshoot of known alt-right forum NeoGoof?"

This made me look up Texas v. Johnson and that's one hell of a gnarly split:

Majority   Brennan, joined by Marshall, Blackmun, Scalia, Kennedy
Concurrence   Kennedy

Dissent   Rehnquist, joined by White, O'Connor
Dissent   Stevens

Though symbols often are what we ourselves make of them, the flag is constant in expressing beliefs Americans share, beliefs in law and peace, and that freedom which sustains the human spirit. The case here today forces recognition of the costs to which those beliefs commit us. It is poignant but fundamental that the flag protects those who hold it in contempt.

Also, from the follow up case, United States v. Eichman:

None of the four were members or supporters of VVAW-AI or the Revolutionary Communist Party.

GET INTO BA!

I'm sure Nintendo is working with Nvidia on new silicon, but this is just the usual late in the lifecycle refresh Nintendo always had. It might have a slightly improved SoC and better battery life as well, that happened in the past, but it's still ultimately a Switch.
