Yeah at some point "he deserved to have his limbs snapped" starts sounding less like security and more like unrestrained body mutilation out of pure spite. Especially if Dave joined in on the beatdown.

Quote
That is exactly what I am getting at.

I am not in any way trying to say that it is 100% okay for someone to charge the stage and try to attack the performer with zero consequences. That is obviously ridiculous.


My point is that if everyone involved in the situation was able to get the perpetrator under control and then they proceeded to violently abuse them that is not okay regardless of what they did previously.

Quote
Unless he really resisted and tried to shoot or stab someone then the injuries he sustained are not proportional and reek of people intentionally breaking and dislocating bones because he tackled their friend Dave.

These people are completely divorced from reality. Do they not realize how ridiculous they are?

The lunatics see their fantasies made reality and it ends with snapped limbs and a swollen face. Now the denial kicks in with the “well gosh beating them up that badly is just going too far”.

Charged the stage, physically attacked him AND had a gun. I’d say badly broken arm and swollen face is getting off fairly well.

So like, this song sounds like it was recorded mostly through TV static. It meanders and it's strange and the production values aren't anything to right home about. Drums are quiet. Vocals are a mess. Like they sound like they were recorded on an old radio from six states over while UFOs flew too close and caused interference. It's an absolute production mess.

But it has a vibe! It has such a good vibe. Whole thing could fall apart at any second, but it never does. There's a tension to it that's aided by the fact that it sounds like shit, which makes it kind of awesome.
I don't even like Burzum much but this song always ruled. It's so damn hypnotic.

The fact they did it at 4:45PM means they probably knew you wouldn't be able to get the information in time to "change their mind". Maybe they did find someone they wanted to hire more than you and just wanted a convenient excuse to rescind the offer.

But yes, you should follow up with the information they requested and see what happens. If you really still want the job after being treated this way, that is.
:hans1

Op is hired for a job that specifically requires a license. Is perplexed when his boss calls angrily letting him know he's fired before even starting due to him not, in fact, having a license. Conclusion: "they were just looking for a reason to not hire  you".

Or, you know, they were pissed off they spent all this time on you only to find out you lied and don't actually have a critical component of the job, whichever.

Someone makes a thread about a WSJ article talking about NFTs basically not really moving anymore.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/wsj-nft-sales-are-flatlining-sales-and-active-wallets-down-90-from-highs.579839/

It's locked because of the vague, ill-defined NFT ban. But the lock message is pretty great:
Quote from: FliX
🔒
This is not really informative in a meaningful way and we don't need to dance on NFT's grave.
Thoughts and Prayers.

NFT dignity officially more supported by Era staff than that of actual dead humans.


Also, the latest shouting into the void in the constructive thread:
Quote from: Voras
The sheer amount of rage that mods aim at posters on this site for the mildest comments is getting completely out of control. If staff is serious about trying to improve this place they should try to not escalate so many situations. The irony of asking posters to be civil while mods refuse to be.

The most recent round of 'why using dude to refer to Ezra Miller is bannable (because it hurts the feelings of unrelated era members)' got a lot of engagement in the thread over the past couple days, but the above is being staunchly ignored.

From an external POV, I thought he was a has-been humourist with bigotted view whose only influence is because some alt righ TV interviews.

You're correct. I guess I am saddened by Era condoning violence, it really does shock me that a place like this that can be so accepting of different kinds of people from all walks of life, but then also be so immature, crass & violent.

No one is excusing Dave or Rock's behavior, but accepting violence as a solution, is not ok ever :(

That's strange :hmm
That guy lived out ERA's dream on attacking "problematic" comedians. You'd think they would leave the thread open to praise the attacker. Maybe it's because:

-The guy got his shit kicked in
-This will only bolster Chapelle and give him sympathy
-Give ammo to the "alt-right chuds"

Of course, anyone with a brain could have told you this. But this is ERA we're talking about, so they weren't gonna learn until it happened and predictably blows up in their faces.

I like how Kyuuji in that thread cries that the LGBT community will be blamed for this while at the same time repeating that Dave deserves to get punched. After the Will Smith thread she even happily shared a "you're next, Dave!" tweet from someone else.

Also, aren't these people all about "Talk Shit, Get Hit", "Fuck around and find out", and "Actions have consequences"? Well, the consequence of running up on stage (in other words, fucking around) and attacking a performer is their security giving you a beat-down and then getting carted away to the hospital and then arrested. They are seeing the harsh reality of what could really happen if they try to live out their violent fantasy.

Will Smith getting away with slapping Chris Rock have skewered their expectations a bit :lol

What's the daily work schedule for an ERA mod is like if they need periodic "breaks"?  :thinking
This daily work must be pretty involved given that they deemed their vacation time important enough to get a custom tag.

Someone should make a "Day in the life of a ResetERA mod" for us plebs to understand the grueling, important work these brave souls do...for free.

well don't forget that every thread has to have the premise researched by the moderation team so that they can ascertain the Officially Allowed Opinion, and then every moderator action has to summon a triumvirate to agree upon what action should be taken

He was 100% the attacker and the perpetrator up until the point they had him under control and took him backstage. Any injuries that he took after that places him firmly in the victim category.


Such a situation is not that much different in my opinion than someone who commits a crime and then gets arrested only then to receive a severe beating at the police station. Obviously the person deserves some amount of blame for the crime that they committed beforehand, but that does not excuse any inhumane treatment after they were apprehended.


And to be honest I am kind of surprised that I have to explain that on Era of all places. I feel like that is something that should just be generally assumed given the circumstances.


DISCLAIMER: once again I am operating under the assumption that the video that was provided is of the person who actually tried to tackle Dave Chappelle and as I have already stated I have my doubts. So take everything that I said so far under the assumption that the video of the person that has been brutalized is the person who tried to tackle him. Beyond that everything that I said is basically for not because outside of that singular video I have no idea what condition the perpetrator is in and what their motivations were.


Basically what I am saying is that if that dude got taken backstage and was subjected to the level of violence that the one video suggested I am saying that he is just as much a victim at that point as anything else. Nothing he did in the videos that I have seen would justify such a treatment.
Fuck around find out is now victim blaming.

I like how the assumption they made was not that this was some random crazy or drunk/drugged up dude who ran on stage but rather a vigilante self-defense action against Dave Chappelle's unrelenting violence against the trans community.

His treatment of the trans community is not "unfortunate". He is actively targeting the trans community. It's not as it was something that befell him, and he has no control over. He chooses to use violence hate speech.

It shouldn't get positive play. The man had a weapon and things could have been far worse.
Jokes are now violence speech.  :brain

Maybe because people like you think that everyone who doesn't vote is an asshole. Most of you all are incapable of actually empathizing with the most vulnerable sects of the population who either face hurdles voting, or have rightfully become jaded because they have been consistently let down by the systems at large even when they do the right thing; a lot of these folks are Black and Trans people who y'all claim to love so much until they step out of line. A lot of these people live in staunchly Democratic controlled areas. Their lives are still shit.

And what's frustrating is that voter apathy could easily be addressed if Democrats just campaigned better. We're not even asking for perfection. I'm not asking for Marx to be resurrected. We're asking for people who just aren't going to abandon our issues or ignore what the public wants after votes have been secured. Like, how the fuck is my community supposed to feel when we vote for Democrats, like you online liberals say we should, and they turn around and plan to bulldoze a public park to make way for a multibillion dollar police training facility that no one wants, and the construction of which is going to increase the risk of flooding to nearby historically Black districts?

"Sure your house might get flooded and you might have to move, further increasing the ongoing gentrification, but hey, we're not Republicans."

Like holy shit, do you all actually give a fuck?

I signed up for a mail-in ballot during last midterms, wondered why it hadn't arrived after like three weeks, called up my voting office, and immediately they asked me "Are you from This Mostly Black County?" Tell them yes and they say that all these requests for mail-ins from my area just "magically" disappeared.

Republican fuckery forced me to vote in person that cycle. But for people who couldn't get the time off, or had covid worries, or were on disability and needed to make arrangements to get to their polling place, they were fucked.

But according to Era I guess those folks are just entitled jerks who didn't REALLY want to vote at all. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I think "non-biased" juries are a dumb system. The whole idea is the jury system is for the community to judge your guilt biases and all. Its for judges to later throw out biased decisions based on the law/constitution.

Grouping these because they both touch on unbiased jury. And.. yeah, I do find some issue in the idea that such a thing can even exist? You can be “unbiased” insofar that you don’t know the people directly involved, but our lives create so much bias about so many things that I almost feel like those who can get picked to serve as “unbiased” just have lesser biases than others.

I think that if the jury themselves were choosing a punishment alongside their decision that it’d be a lot different. But as they only (I assume?) say whether or not someone is to be held to the fire, it makes things difficult. Again, in a DWI where someone was “just” drunk and got pulled over on their way home right outside the bar, then I’d offer guilty with a fine. If anyone was harmed though, guilty with rehab.

Edit: Not saying that the people themselves should actually get the final say in punishment! That should be the law and actual judge. But if people could at least put forward what they believe is right, that’s a big difference.

Maybe that’s the big thing that bugs me. I know for the US a guilty charge that leads to jail leads to so much worse. It’s not like you vote to send someone guilty to rehab, which is what so many actually need. Too many things come down to letting someone walk free, or putting them in our terrible jail system. And the law decides on that, even if the people may feel that someone is guilty but not to the point of jail.

Hey, guess what. I don't give a fuck about national polling when I'm directly involved in the efforts regarding a local issue. We've polled about this particular facility, and- when asked- 90+% didn't want THAT particular facility to be built. So you can choke on that Pew poll for all I give a shit about it.

I wasn't asking you what you find to be helpful advice. Frankly, I don't even know who you are; literally have never interacted with you until now, and if I have, I don't remember it. I am ranting to terminally-online fucks who I will never see down in the streets actually trying to help out people like the ones I describe in my community, members who are always going on and on about why certain people don't vote, how these people are irresponsible, and refusing to empathize with why they don't vote so that, maybe, just maybe, they can start trying to solve the problem.

Oh fucking spare me this self righteous performance.

Do YOU actually give a fuck? I've been doing queer, anti-racist, anti-war activism on the streets for fucking 25 years. I have been arrested at protests, I have had the shit beaten out of me for being queer, more than once. What have you done lately, hmm? Please enlighten us all as to what exactly gives you the right to tell people who they are and what their experience has been. Please, I would SINCERELY love to hear it.

OBVIOUSLY the Dems have a shit ton of problems, we all know that. But expecting people to do the BARE ASS MINIMUM of voting to stop this disgusting backslide is not too much and people are right to be upset with folks that cannot be bothered.

And really, how fucking dare you accuse people that have dedicated large parts of their lives to progressive change of not giving a fuck, seriously, how fucking vile.
