I mean, I get it and I also feel the Zaslav is totally out of his element given he cannot dumb down WB like he did with Discovery without a severe public and executive pushback… but shouldn’t more people celebrate this rather than the Doom and gloom that seems to be instigated by DisneyMarvel concerned fans.

:cop User Banned (3 Months; Permanent Threadban): Inflammatory Generalization; Don't Blame the Entire Population of a Country for its Leaders Actions; History of the Same
Quote from: Karlinel
Someday, we will face the reality that russian society, as product of their history and values, is inherently imperialistic, aggressive, and what we could call “evil”. I wonder how long will Ukraine suffer until the west at large stops trying to reason with unexisting anti-war majorities.
Again, this person is not doing this. Critiquing "Russian society" or "Russian culture" (the earlier ban) is not blaming the Russian people but asking them to perhaps question the values of the culture and society in which they operate. ResetERA.com understands this completely the thousands of times a day when somebody says "Americans are [Y]" or "America does [Z]" or whatever but when it comes to Russia or China they lose their minds.

It's funny because I know their out would be that America is a democracy and these are authoritarian states so Americans shoulder a greater blame for actions of the group yet most of their critiques targeting America/Americans include the claim that America is a faux-democracy where the people have no actual power.
There you go again with all that logic and reason...

I've told you before, abandon all that and just go with emotion and reaction. You too can then achieve the mastery of the world that Reeeeesetera moderators have achieved.

Should Taiwan give back to the PRC artifacts it “stole” or took from mainland china? (I believe Chinese has made these demands) I think most people would say no even though they were made on the mainland and part of Chinese culture and now sit on land that was colonized by people who brutally subjected the indigenous occupants

Quote from: RustyNails
Taliban blowing up statues and ISIS destroying things in museums, all could have been avoided if America and the rest of the world did not fuck with middle east, partner with Saudi Arabia on exporting fundamentalism, invade Iraq and wiped out a portion of their population in the wars. We funded the Mujahideen and we destroyed Iraq. All of that shit is courtesy of US taxpayer funded dollars. Really incredible to see America/Europe fucking the ancient societies and their culture, resulting in blowback that harms the culture, but its suddenly "oh silly brown people at it again!! We must protect the artifacts!!!"

But that's water under the bridge. US/Europe have no standing whatsoever to dictate the terms here. Zero. Return. Stolen. Artifacts. The next time a blowback from a US misadventure in middle east happens, we can talk about how to save things.

nobody knows why RustyNails is babbling about US interventions in the middle east, but he sure did get the other guy banned :lol

Some wild posts here lol. Like obviously what is known as Egypt today isn't the same as it was 2000 years ago! Many different dinasties and rules have gone through the modern territory of the country, but like, it is part of its history. It is a key artifact to understand egyptian scripts and was put in egypt by the rulers of the time, to appeal to the egyptcian audience. Yes, the rulers of the time were greek, but it is nontheless an importan part of the history of Egypt. Saying "actually modern day egypcians aren't like ancient egypcias thus they don't really have a claim to it" is fucking wild.

The funniest part about the Brazil thing with Nepenthe is that she's a hardcore race-essentialist and seemed to just pick Brazil at random.  She cares about Brazil insofar as there are people with dark skin like her there, but as far as I can see -- that's about it.  She knows nothing and has nothing to do with their culture, history, language, etc.  She doesn't even have a connection with distant family members.  It's simply because they're black... well at least a lot of them are.  The white Brazilians aren't closer to the true Brazilian like her.  A part of me wishes that Ko-fi thing worked out for her to afford a trip to Brazil so they can laugh at her when she arrives like that video of that weeb in Japan.

Also totemism. They think it's the artifacts that attract the people and money. It's not like the artifacts are going to be redistributed to the Egyptian people or anything.

They'd prefer nobody learn about or appreciate another culture rather than have the "wrong people" do so.

Literally no one cares if cosmetics don't have a numerical impact on the gameplay. Tons of shit doesn't directly affect the 1s and 0s governing player movement, but it still matters to the overall experience and positive associations you get from playing and thus it does matter to the game as a whole. You don't look at people docking a game points for horrible visual or audio quality because "derp it's not gameplay."


Which shows how much you know about Overwatch because a lot of actual real world and mythic cultural representation in the game comes in the form of the goddamn fucking skins and other cosmetics like voice lines in a character's native tongue. You think I use Capoeira Lucio in my avatar and in-game for shiggles? No. It's because it's the most meaningful bit of Afro-Brazilian representation to be had in the overall fucking game. As a Black (albeit American) person who plays capoeira and is interested in the history of that martial art why the absolute fuck wouldn't I want to wear it? Why wouldn't it make me happy to see it and use it? Again, you might not give two shits. And that's fine. But yes, cosmetics do matter and they do overlap with matters of representation.


I didn't say everything is useless. I said gaming is useless, which it is, meaning under your argument it is impossible for games to have predatory practices because you can just opt out of playing them altogether, just like you can opt out of utilizing cosmetics. If you think this is stupid then surely you can easily apply this to your original argument and understand why the "it's just cosmetics" excuse really is just that- an excuse.

Just because it doesn't tick the numbers in either direction does not mean it is a meaningless part of the game.  For representation purposes alone it's important.

Quote from: SFLUFAN
Moscow's "path to victory" (whatever that may be) doesn't reside on the battlefields of Eastern and Southern Ukraine.

It resides in the "fatigue" and "pain" of the populations in Western countries who will apply political pressure on their leaders to in turn apply pressure on Kyiv to come to a "settlement" with Russia. That's what the Kremlin is counting
And that is what frightens me the most, because that weapon is the most efective one any country can use. It can literally change the course of an armed conflict, and affects people that has absolutely nothing to do with the two parties involved in said conflict.

The biggest loser in this conflict is the EU, because it means it will deindustrialize itself thanks to the outrageous energy prices they'll have to pay from now on to buy gas and oil from the USA.

Quote from: SilkySm00th
It's been literally uplifting watching Ukraine's allies help them match their tech and equipment levels to the experience and expertise of their soldiers while Russ continues to do almost the complete opposite. Just erasing generations of whatever skill and training they had alongside a baffling amount of their modern equipment - primarily through underestimating exactly who they were fucking with.

By the end of this UKR will be a premier army of the modern world and Moscow will be trying invent new ways to slice the 3 loafs of bread left in a way that feeds 12ish million people.

You love to see it!

Hey looking for people who may have knowledge about a situation. I spent time taking care of a disabled person for some time who needed a lot of help. They receive their monthly SSI payment on a card at the first of the month and they would always have me take the money off their card to go pay their rent, their utilities, and buy their food for the month. For the month of October they already had that done and stuff paid but now they want nothing to do with me and want all their money for the month and are threatening to have someone call Social Security and press charges for a false authorization even though they had me go and use the money on their stuff like they do every month. I guess my question is: is this something I need to be worried about actually affecting me?

 :whoo

Era members are always involved in the weirdest situations where they're "accused of things they didn't do". I'm guessing dude was skimming.

HE'S THE G.O.A.T.:

What precedent?   :lol  It's not like any new interpretation of the law came from that trial.  Was there even a 'free speech defense' at Jones' trial to even create an attempt at precedent?    Holocaust denialists beware, beliefs are still legal in the US!  Flat-Earthers, though...they can go.   :gurl

Uh, why are they asking him for "all their money for the month" if he hadn't taken it?

Unless they were paying him? And now they want the payment for October back?

No precedent, Jones didn't present a defense at all, that's why he lost. Also, local court cases don't automatically create precedent for the rest of the country. That's only the Supreme Court.

My actual favorite part is imagining who Bob thinks should be able to sue against all those people in his long list for defamation. Who is supposed to be pointing to the "Jones precedent" when they say Flat-Earthers are defaming them by saying the Earth is flat? Are the Hollow Earth people going to sue Kyrie Irving? Jones didn't just say Sandy Hook was fake and a false flag (that's... not defamation), he said the families of the children "killed" were in on it.

That's how I found out about him, I thought it was just that weird thing on GAF (and continuing onto ResetERA.com) where they inexplicably worship random shitty YouTube creators. Only later did I discover he has an actual fanbase that likes his gibberish movie analysis and tolerates/agrees with his incoherent uninformed takes on other subjects, that Left Twitter basically all hates him and my true home in his real fan base who recognizes a Thinker from the SUPERIOR FUTURE educating the stupids daily.

Weird necrobump. Even weirder--and defensive--response from a mod.

You bumped a year old thread, to type all of these words, only to be this freaking wrong about the subject. Incredible use of your first post.

"Let's go!!!" was a generic hype phrase in the Black vernacular back in the 90s. I should know, I was there doing it with my friends, in the Midwest. Sports, rap, getting a girls number, "let's go son" and "good hustle" were said daily and interchangeably.

White people internet circles being late as hell and making things overused, homogenized, and corny is just par for the course with everything that originated Black.


This subject is outdated, tired, and was dead before the necrobump so I'm locking the thread.

I'm not an expert on the origins of Let's Go like the ree mods are, but I distinctly remember hearing a Ramones song from the 70s called Hey Ho, Let's Go. I'm pretty certain none of them were black.

Reset user finds out Reset tracks its user more than any other site they visit.

Maybe getting sold out to a Swedish company looking for easy cash wasn't the best thing after all.

They should ban “Let’s go” and immediately halve the number of posts in new announcements and live event threads.
