You’re telling me black atheist communist Nintoddler gay men can’t have five kids with anti-vaxx hardcore Trumpers?

The bigotry on this website is astounding  :jeanluc

There’s no way Brainchild has five kids aged 16, 19, 19, 21, 22.

I refuse to believe this special fellow


has ever touched a female body that wasn’t his mother.  Didn’t he also say he was gay?

Well, there's certainly no way he took care of those kids.

You can't parody Era.


Between that and Dogge saying everyone who heard "dinger" is a racist (because they don't agree with him) the place is amazing.

"something superlative," 1809, American English, agent noun from ding (v.). Baseball sense of "a home run" is by 1984.

of course they'll just say the word was racist from its inception, no one in the 80s was slick

lol all the shit in that Intercept thread and I’m the one who got a warning

Eat my ass, mods. Place is a cesspit of bad-faith politics threads designed to turn people into hyper-cynical disengaged assholes and they continue to do nothing.

Give me a million points and ban me forever. It would be a blessing. I could finally stop this dumb cycle of ban requests and rid myself of this shitty place forever.

PoliEra, you folks are good people. Everyone else here is awful.

This is 100% an overreaction to a pathetic little mod warning, but my god, this forum is unbearable. I’ve got actual shit to do in my life and I don’t need to waste my time at a place like this.
:badass

Also, somebody know how GoldenFlex/The Hunter got banned?

Haha, still not banned

Should also be framed and memorialized for those that slither into these threads only for their back patting gotcha moments.

Those parading around in here celebrating the fact that in this instance a black man wasn't called a distinguished black fellow when it happens constantly in America are just as annoying as the people refusing to acknowledge that he actually said "Dinger"

As I said before, we see ya'll.

Still mad he was wrong.

I'd love to know the details on what kind of revolution nepenthe is envisaging, because anything less than eco fascism isn't going to stick the landing, because no matter how much you hate yts you're gonna hate rolling blackouts / meat being illegal / electricity rationing / abolition of private ownership of vehicles / one child policy / whatever other extreme measures a revolution is going to have to impose to make an immediate difference.


might get your car loan waived I suppose :idont

Judging by her paranoid freak out when she saw some black protesters during last year's BLM protests. It's safe to say the only revolution she wants is one that involves deporting minorities

Meanwhile the tragedy continues-

Quote

    I have a small following. Less then 100 followers.
    My goal is to reach 5k genuine followers that actually want to see my content.
    I post digital art of witches and gothic characters in an anime art style
    I started posting every 4 days at the latest
    I leave genuine comments on other art accounts in my niche, to make myself more visible.
    I use 30 hashtags in every post with small to medium post counts.
    I have begun to use carousel posts instead of just regular posts, and I have started using stories.
    I just recently constructed a new art style that will hopefully make it easier for me to post more often

I have been on Instagram for 3 years but started taking it seriously about 2 months ago. Used to have over 100 posts but deleted 95% of it to make my account fit the niche I wanted to go for. I have bought marketing courses, I have watched a ton of videos on how to grow an Instagram account. I feel like none of the advice is really working. Am I just being impatient? Its been demotivating me.
I feel like I am kind of just all over the place. Like I have been posting full rendered paintings but they take 3 days to complete, and I spend every waking hour on them. I don't think it is a viable way to grow on Instagram, because I put so much effort into them with little return, and I end up having no time for anything else. like my life is just me rushing to finish a painting and for what? 20 likes and MAYBE 1 new follower? It is not sustainable. But every problem has a solution right? So my solution is to make art with line art, with simple shading and less rendering time, but I fear I will lose followers for this. What should I do?
I am thinking about changing my strategy completely, and creating a comic series to build a community around. From viewing other accounts, I noticed people like original characters and stories, if they are good. I think this could help my account stand out, because I am no longer just posting cool drawings like everyone else, I am creating a story that make people want to come back to. But this would be a drastic change that might not work, and I will lose followers who are here for the paintings, that have been exhausting me.
Currently I am not creatively happy just posting random art admittedly, and It has always been a dream to make a story people care about, but I also want to grow an instagram account. And so that is why I feel just so all over the place. Confused on what I should be doing with my art and marketing.
Yes I have tried doing reels and I am aware video content is the thing instagram is chasing but I hate doing them, and I'd rather just do Youtube which I am planning on doing soon. I just recently bought a snowball mic and in the process on making an intro. But that is another thing. Point being, I hate reels and I felt like I was just rehashing the same stuff other artists where doing. Little time lapses. I ended up deleting all the ones I made.
Marketing. I am not confident in the strategies I am implementing and I feel like I am just wasting my time. Leaving comments, that are well thought out, do not result in followers and I feel uncomfortable doing it as I do have some social anxiety. I actually end up following them instead XD But they don't follow me back, and no I'm not going to unfollow them just because they didn't in return. I am trying to be genuine and supportive and not fake. It does sting a little. Makes me feel like my art is not good enough you know but I guess it is what it is.
--
SO, my current strategy. I will post a carousel post of a sketch for my next painting, and then I'll make a little story to say hey guys, new post! Then I will go out and comment on other peoples accounts and be social. Then I will just work on the painting. I am trying to get myself to socialize every single night and morning, to get myself in front of people, to let others know that hey, I exist. VERY much so out of my comfort zone but I want this to work so I do it. But again little to no results. Then I will just post a carousel post of the painting with hashtags and all. But I feel like its not going anywhere, or just VERY slowly. I am feeling depressed, demotivated and like, I don't know what to do. What more should I be doing? I will do whatever it takes. I will start doing reels again if I must.

Little personnel background on me. I am 26, will be 27 on the 18th of December. I live at home with my mom. I have all my life because of social anxiety and fear, and self doubt, and feeling lost on what I want from life. I have never even learned how to drive. I spent the majority of my 20s chasing dreams of making money online. I tried Droppshing, I tried selling on Ebay and amazon. I tried making an Etsy store. For a period of time I wanted to be a real estate investor, but you know, social anxiety. I tried inventing a product to help the elderly. I tried writing a science fiction novel with dreams of making a living from it. I put a lot of time and effort into all of these things, and failed miserably at all of them. I wasted over $200 of my moms money on ads and website costs for dropshiping. That one really hurt. I put everything I had into it. I even took a college class on marketing. Did really well in it. Suck bad at it when actually doing it in real life it seems lol. I feel like a complete and utter failure.
Now I am staring to slowly approach my 30s and I have nothing to show for it. I am scared. I don't know if I have a future but I know one thing, I don't want a job. I want to make a living off of my art online. That's the conclusion I have come to. I want to tell stories with my art and I want to have a following. I won't be happy otherwise. I don't want to work at a company. I am so frustrated nothing is working. Instagram and YouTube is it. One of them has to work. I don't know what to do.

I need advice :( Not to sound rude, but I am not here to be told that it can't be done or that Instagram is too crowded or whatever. I am not here for pessimism. I refuse to give up. I see people succeed online, on YT and Instagram all the time. I know it can be done. I just don't know how to do it.

Once again, a corporate apologist on Era not understanding that Microsoft could easily eat the cost (if any) of violating this contract, and we should hold these companies accountable for not reacting quickly or appropriately.

We don't know what is in their contracts. MS could have clauses that let them break it in certain circumstances.

I am not convinced with this post. Most devs that have worked on any Blizzard or Act games can find work else where. Staying at this corrupt company is not the only way to solve it even though it's not easy to just pack up and leave. Another important fact to remember is that even with scandals some companies never change. Where is the evidence that this is not true here?

Don't want to shit on them, but they should stop trying to game the magic algorithm, and get to learn some fundies.

Those drawings are very clearly at a beginner level, especially the coloring.
What do you think will happen if you even CAN get a million eyes on your page? That people will start buying prints of what looks like drawings of someone that just started drawing, when actual professionals have to sell themselves like whores to make a living, already? It IS a crowded space, so the least you should do is have a minimum of fundamentals, before you start asking yourself how to get your big break.

This is like asking about NBA scouts when you can't even bounce the ball without looking at it.

Some of the people in that thread seem to be under the impression that the ActiBlizz stuff is big news that all of California is following intently.

Several people in that thread say that it's all over the news.  But "news" for them is Kotaku, @dookie24, and DavezMart's youtube page.  So who knows, maybe in their world that is true.

Meanwhile the tragedy continues-

Quote

    I have a small following. Less then 100 followers.
    My goal is to reach 5k genuine followers that actually want to see my content.
    I post digital art of witches and gothic characters in an anime art style
    I started posting every 4 days at the latest
    I leave genuine comments on other art accounts in my niche, to make myself more visible.
    I use 30 hashtags in every post with small to medium post counts.
    I have begun to use carousel posts instead of just regular posts, and I have started using stories.
    I just recently constructed a new art style that will hopefully make it easier for me to post more often

I have been on Instagram for 3 years but started taking it seriously about 2 months ago. Used to have over 100 posts but deleted 95% of it to make my account fit the niche I wanted to go for. I have bought marketing courses, I have watched a ton of videos on how to grow an Instagram account. I feel like none of the advice is really working. Am I just being impatient? Its been demotivating me.
I feel like I am kind of just all over the place. Like I have been posting full rendered paintings but they take 3 days to complete, and I spend every waking hour on them. I don't think it is a viable way to grow on Instagram, because I put so much effort into them with little return, and I end up having no time for anything else. like my life is just me rushing to finish a painting and for what? 20 likes and MAYBE 1 new follower? It is not sustainable. But every problem has a solution right? So my solution is to make art with line art, with simple shading and less rendering time, but I fear I will lose followers for this. What should I do?
I am thinking about changing my strategy completely, and creating a comic series to build a community around. From viewing other accounts, I noticed people like original characters and stories, if they are good. I think this could help my account stand out, because I am no longer just posting cool drawings like everyone else, I am creating a story that make people want to come back to. But this would be a drastic change that might not work, and I will lose followers who are here for the paintings, that have been exhausting me.
Currently I am not creatively happy just posting random art admittedly, and It has always been a dream to make a story people care about, but I also want to grow an instagram account. And so that is why I feel just so all over the place. Confused on what I should be doing with my art and marketing.
Yes I have tried doing reels and I am aware video content is the thing instagram is chasing but I hate doing them, and I'd rather just do Youtube which I am planning on doing soon. I just recently bought a snowball mic and in the process on making an intro. But that is another thing. Point being, I hate reels and I felt like I was just rehashing the same stuff other artists where doing. Little time lapses. I ended up deleting all the ones I made.
Marketing. I am not confident in the strategies I am implementing and I feel like I am just wasting my time. Leaving comments, that are well thought out, do not result in followers and I feel uncomfortable doing it as I do have some social anxiety. I actually end up following them instead XD But they don't follow me back, and no I'm not going to unfollow them just because they didn't in return. I am trying to be genuine and supportive and not fake. It does sting a little. Makes me feel like my art is not good enough you know but I guess it is what it is.
--
SO, my current strategy. I will post a carousel post of a sketch for my next painting, and then I'll make a little story to say hey guys, new post! Then I will go out and comment on other peoples accounts and be social. Then I will just work on the painting. I am trying to get myself to socialize every single night and morning, to get myself in front of people, to let others know that hey, I exist. VERY much so out of my comfort zone but I want this to work so I do it. But again little to no results. Then I will just post a carousel post of the painting with hashtags and all. But I feel like its not going anywhere, or just VERY slowly. I am feeling depressed, demotivated and like, I don't know what to do. What more should I be doing? I will do whatever it takes. I will start doing reels again if I must.

Little personnel background on me. I am 26, will be 27 on the 18th of December. I live at home with my mom. I have all my life because of social anxiety and fear, and self doubt, and feeling lost on what I want from life. I have never even learned how to drive. I spent the majority of my 20s chasing dreams of making money online. I tried Droppshing, I tried selling on Ebay and amazon. I tried making an Etsy store. For a period of time I wanted to be a real estate investor, but you know, social anxiety. I tried inventing a product to help the elderly. I tried writing a science fiction novel with dreams of making a living from it. I put a lot of time and effort into all of these things, and failed miserably at all of them. I wasted over $200 of my moms money on ads and website costs for dropshiping. That one really hurt. I put everything I had into it. I even took a college class on marketing. Did really well in it. Suck bad at it when actually doing it in real life it seems lol. I feel like a complete and utter failure.
Now I am staring to slowly approach my 30s and I have nothing to show for it. I am scared. I don't know if I have a future but I know one thing, I don't want a job. I want to make a living off of my art online. That's the conclusion I have come to. I want to tell stories with my art and I want to have a following. I won't be happy otherwise. I don't want to work at a company. I am so frustrated nothing is working. Instagram and YouTube is it. One of them has to work. I don't know what to do.

I need advice :( Not to sound rude, but I am not here to be told that it can't be done or that Instagram is too crowded or whatever. I am not here for pessimism. I refuse to give up. I see people succeed online, on YT and Instagram all the time. I know it can be done. I just don't know how to do it.

This is really the main thing that is holding him back -

but I know one thing, I don't want a job.

Art is a job. It's work. Writers, artists, musicians get up in the morning and they work. JK Rowling isn't sitting around daydreaming about Instagram. She's getting up early. Hustling to her office, powering through her days writing shit about wizards, or brainstorming ways to get Ree's tits in a twist.

No one thought that.

I sarcastically said "revolution or pray" to one of your questions about what to do, and I guess the word "revolution" broke something in you and another member, because you both immediately characterized the idea as "socialist" and shut it down, which in turn invited political disagreement, even though I never used the word socialism (revolution =/= socialism unless you think America became a Red Paradise after we broke off from England? Like, what the hell.)

So yeah, let's all stop with the irrelevant political silliness and understand the point I meant to make: there is ultimately no action normal people can take at this point that will lead to us saving the planet from heating at this point, no matter how many sea turtles you decide to personally save by cutting up plastic soda can holders.

It appears that GoldenFlex is going to be TheHunter's main account. Since TheHunter's ban has been up he hasn't posted much and GoldenFlex is the account that has every fifth post in poliera.

Edit: Now I'm not saying that B-Dubs and the mods and admins who are in the poliera clique are ignoring an obvious alt because I have no proof. I am going to imply it though.
