Getting lots of 520 errors. And am not the only one:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-tech-thread-report-bugs-here.118789/post-76094808

Hi all just confirming im getting Cloudflare errors today and site not loading intermittently on my phone using chrome. Looks like web hosting errors, just to let you know.

Ditto. Site is frequently slow to respond, or fails to load properly, sometimes to the point of not responding at all. I've seen errors 522 and 525.

Same issue with loading times. It's been happening since yesterday, but today it's off the charts

This thread got bumped with tons of complaints too:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-it-me-or-is-era-really-loading-slow-these-last-days.475962/post-76095162

I see MOBA Network is already loading up the alt-right spyware.

[benjipwns]

That isn't why it's a meme either though.

The Dark World is a meme on Era because it's mediocre and forgettable. It isn't a bad film on the level of something like Fantastic Four 2015. Its meme-status comes from it not doing anything to stand out as a truly bad movie or a truly good movie. It's just there.

No, "Thor 2: The Dark World" is a meme on ResetERA.com because it was a meme on NeoGAF.com like eight years ago.

It's just so weird and pretentious. I'm trying to imagine interacting with a person like that in real life.

Like, Batman v. Superman and Justice League were absolutely terrible but I wasn't in threads saying, "Haha! I hope this means they stop making DC films!"

"Superhero film" is a genre at this point. I don't like horror movies but I'm not hoping they stop being made. I just... don't watch them.

  He constantly shits up non-MCU movie threads.

Posting a GIF to admit that you're shit-posting is actually just worse.

Also "superhero film" is not a genre lol

I love how the Eternals review thread has devolved into a bunch of people defending the forced and unfunny Thor 2: Dark World "meme" on Era.

[HardcoreRetro]

Its meme-status comes from it not doing anything to stand out as a truly bad movie or a truly good movie. It's just there.

That's basically the entire MCU.

FACT CHECK:

I personally find sticking to Era’s personal meme of Thor 2: The Dark World funnier. It’s simply ridiculous to see it at random in a poll, such as say “favorite pizza topping,” it really gets to the point of me pulling a muscle laughing.

[marrec]

Wouldn't it be nice if the forced and forgettable meme of Thor 2 was a meta commentary on the entirety of the MCU having completely interchangeable parts so that one movie compared to the next sort of just blurs together and so it can be added to any poll as this metaphysical representation INSTEAD of it just being a stupid meme?

I know people love roping in Scorsese to these convos, which I think is a bit weird because he just has boomer opinions on movies and I’m like who cares

BUT I would unironically love to see a Scorsese Marvel film. He’s an incredible film maker, I wanna see all the top talent working on DC or Marvel movies, and I’d love to see him “show these kids how it’s done”

First of all, his are not "boomer opinions", they're just opinions of someone with some respect for the art form.

Second of all, when are they going to understand that slapping a big name on a studio controlled franchise made up of distinguished mentally-challenged costume characters isn't going to transform it magically into the next Citizen Kane?

Great art (should) comes from within, you can't just treat it like upgrades in a videogame.

If you need a technically capable yes-man, you probably have better (and cheaper) options than Scorsese.

Nice pivot, but it doesn't do anything to address the issue at hand. Advocating violence for political reasons is MAGA territory. Unless you think they have a point.

Honestly? They do. They have justifiable concerns wrt their social status, corruption in politics, infrastructure decay, lower economic mobility, healthcare, education, etc. they just express it in mind boggling stupid and unproductive ways.

Those mind boggingly stupid and unproductive ways includes violence, though. Lol

Yeah. It is not the violence that's dumb per se, but how they go about it. Their issue here is strategy (they have none).

It is not the case that if a stupid person does X, then X is stupid.

Historically, it is terrorism if you lose. If you win, you're revolutionaries. And, if people like you, you're freedom fighters. 'Terrorism' is largely a point of view.

Why would you want a Scorsese's-gangster-clichè-greatest-hits, just slapped on a character you're familiar with? 

I guess it's what they did with Joker already, take some great films like Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, and repackage them with the franchise wrapping paper.

You are still butt mad over those posts I was already banned for! But I will humour you here.

Do you know why I criticize the US here more than I do the bad nations? It is a very straightforward calculation.

I am a civilian living in an ostensibly democratic country in the Anglo sphere, my ability to affect the world is limited to the reach of my voice, my wallet and my ballot. There is nothing to be gained in repeating, ad nauseum, that the CCP/DPRK/Cuba/Maduro are bad for the umpteenth time. They do not have access to my voice. It cannot reach them, and even if it could, they would not understand me. And even if they could understand me they would not obey me.

However, my voice can reach other people in the Anglo sphere. And presumably I can vote for politicians aligned my views and direct capital where I believe it should go. With those three tools, I attempt to make myself felt across the world. If it is a civilian in need of aide in Xinjiang or Venezuela or DPRK, etc. I can try to send them money and nudge US policy ever so slightly to be kinder and more humanitarian.

This is why I don’t go around condemning despots like everyone else, I consider condemnations largely useless except for signaling that you’re part of the good guys. Every post I make, every word I type, is either: 1) increasing my personal entertainment or 2) nudging Western society in the direction I want it to go. Condemning tyrants does not achieve either result. Criticizing sanctions does. It is purely an EV calculation. If you disagree with my calculus, fine, sure, okay, but if you want to convince me my utility calculation is wrong you’re going to have to do a lot better than repeating mainstream sound bites.

Look who backs him up:

Bringing up Uyghurs in a thread about North Korea is the biggest bunch of sea lioning bullshit I wouldn't even continue to try to reason with these sickos. This shit all a game to them. Thats some shit you would bring up in a fucking high school debate cause you ran out of arguments. None of them reply to substance. They lie and bring up irrelevant topics and never respond directly to arguments.

Continues:

Every post I make, every word I type, is either: 1) increasing my personal entertainment or 2) nudging Western society in the direction I want it to go.

Explain to me, in your own words, the chain of causation that starts from "me validating Uyghur oppression" to "Uyghurs are freed from oppression". I do not see it, I need some assistance here.

Apropos of nothing, since apparently this is what the audience wants.

With the moderators' permission I will post this bit in all future China threads so as to remind the good people here that CCP BAD, cause they forget it so easily. BTW when are we banning Genshin Impact? I'm uncomfortable seeing Western gamers deceived by cute anime ladies (and guys) into funding genocide.

I notice GI is still unbanned and gaming devices still source Chinese slave labor. Very problematic.

Literature supports that interpretation.

Free market theory of disciplining of bad actors with financial consequences to stop bad behavior. It is the ideal of capitalism but it doesn't work. See: Facebook (now Meta) and misinformation, Uber and prop 22, Exxon and climate, Amazon and employee rights, etc

Your scenario is neoliberal nonsense but I wanted to avoid the n-word in this thread, as it is about the DPRK and not the PRC. Your derail has been odd and unproductive.

Literature supports that interpretation.

Literature supports that interpretation.

What "literature"?

Okay, here's a reading list if you need it.

The Wretched of the Earth
Unequal exchange; A study of the imperialism of trade.
False Nationalism False Internationalism
The Law of Worldwide Value
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions
Manufacturing Consent

Disclaimer: I have not read all these things, but a few months ago I was compiling a reading list of 'essential leftist theory' based on input from trusted sources, on top of my own readings, and these are the entries for 'Internationalism', plus a few other books conducive to this topic. Obviously, I do not have time to master every subfield of leftist theory so I deferred to the expertise of others.

The article list was just stuff I pulled up just now, no vetting beyond a quick skim.

I DO NOT CONDEMN AUSTRALIAN SANCTIONS ON CHINA BECAUSE I CANNOT VOTE FOR AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS OR MEANINGFULLY INFLUENCE AUSTRALIAN CIVILIANS. AND ALSO VICE VERSA. CHINA WILL NOT CARE IF I CONDEMN CHINA. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CARE ARE ABOUT THIS 'CONDEMNATION OF CHINA' NONSENSE ARE LIBERALS ON VIDEO GAME FORUMS.

You need to stop before you hurt yourself, it is clear you are out of your depth.

I want to ask what is your opinion on Uyghur activists asking for international support on sanctions on China.

I ignore them mostly. I do not have the time or ability to vet each one and I am convinced a few are CIA puppets.

Okay, this is going to be my last post on China here. The asymmetry is too much for me. It takes me an hour per post to look for sources and edit and double check the theory and then you people just respond with total nonsense. I'm done here. Go read a book on this if you actually want to learn. I recommend starting with Manufacturing Consent, The Jakarta Method, and Capitalism Realism.

Yeah, I don't have time to read all the books and articles I want to read because video game liberals keep wasting my time with bullshit and baiting me into worthless, bad faith debates. Mea culpa here for falling for the baits, tbh.

Do you think I can read Capitalism Realism in one hour? No, I look up passages and cross reference with other things I've read, then skim articles I pull up for people here.

edit and double check the theory

This refers to the amount of leg work I have to do and the corners I have to cut to finish my posts in a timely manner. Otherwise I would spend hours per post, as I often did before I realized it wasn't a good use of my time.

I criticise the country I live ins regime because I have the ability to do so under that regime, and will not criticise regimes that do not allow criticism because I don't live there is definitely a take.

I'm also fine with him not making that movie, I'm saying if he did I'd watch it.

That mafiosa life is obviously a thing he finds interesting to deal with as a subject matter, hence his pedigree, and his personal style isn't just riffing on past glories, its his personal style.

I mean, if 'solid film making' is interchangeable, you're sort of undermining the whole idea of directorial vision.
Having said that, Scorcese has made it clear he thinks the MCU is shit, and I'm more fine not seeing him crap out some shit he is entirely uninterested in with his name on solely for the cash.

26 October 2021
An open letter to the BBC regarding an article published by Catherine Lowbridge
Dear BBC Upper Management and Editorial Staff,

The day this open letter is being written (26th October 2022), you published an article on the BBC News website by Caroline Lowbridge titled 'We're being pressured into sex by some trans women'¹.

The article headline may use the word “some”, but the clear implication of the article and its headline is that transgender women as a minority group pose a threat to cisgender lesbians, and should therefor have their rights restricted in the UK.

PROFESSIONAL WRITER

[HaughtyFrank]

I actually had to do a double take when I saw where the article was from that you've linked here.

So let me get this straight. The BBC writes a horrific article. People are appaled, and sign an open letter.

And then..... the BBC... reports on the open letter... but does not apologize? what the fuck? this is straight up mockery

What the fuck is this? A news network reporting?

As we all know, the correct response to this would have been to not read it at all, get outraged takes from twitter mischaracterising the entire premise of the letter, then forward that second hand outrage to as many people as possible in an open petition demanding that the letter is removed from the internet

Why was the OP banned? Didn't seem like trolling at all.

I was curious about that myself.

I’m actually confused about this too.

was TC a secret elon supporter who was mocking the guy's critics with his OP?

lol OP banned for this? Era'd.

Feels like whoever banned him should be able to explain why because this is a really odd one and not gonna lie, I don't like it.

Yeah I'm not sure the ban explanation really gets to the real reason? Or at least, I'm still confused

Adding my voice to the chorus asking why OP got banned. The hell?

I read the "Bad faith" part as being related to the prior ban and not this particular thread.

For this one I'm not sure why and what part is considered trolling. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah this is a redundant, unnecessary thread, but permaban worthy...?

Why would anyone one sign an open letter that has yet to be finalized?

Musk’s ninjas saw that thread and made the call to MOBA Network

Because it's a bunch of performative garbage.
