Oh look, a thread about race relations! Excel's time to shine, it's a topic she knows so much about.

Forget it Jake it's Dolezaltown

Can't wait till the human kid learns to love himself so his parents give him a navi body to really drive home the interracial family metaphor...

A family that Dolezals together stays together

Jake gonna teach his son all about his year of Navi roots.

Intergalactic Friends of Humanity Coppers gonna beat Spider to near death forcing Jake and Neyteri to put him in a Navi body... and Spider is gonna be pissed and reject it until the very end when he realizes that Navi is what's in your heart not your skin pigmentation and hair sex organs

I mean, excel grew up as a white male in Canada...

Red Mercury upset that free games aren’t free forever

I don't really feel any kinship towards or need to defend any extremely powerful corporations (that would be super weird to do) that literally do not care about you beyond your monetary contribution to their growth and have no qualms advocating for better for consumers, sorry! Would it be better for consumers if the free games were up for more than a day? I think that is a fairly solid yes. I'm sitting here imagining someone saying "McDonalds should lower their prices a bit" and a McDonalds hardcore fan saying "No! You must really hate McDonalds for suggesting that!" lol, taking up for corporations is a choice for sure

That was quick! We don't even seem to know much about it. If a real deadly strain comes along, welp that's all she wrote.

This is completely unnecessary

What do you mean Excel?

Worrying that some killer version is on the horizon

Extinction fear mongering is unnecessary

I mean, I can assure you this is an extremely common concern

There's no evidence that we're on the brink of total annihilation

I never said we were though? I did not make a declarative statement, I made a hypothetical statement. Not sure where this is coming from tbh

People are upset enough they don't need hypothetical extinction nonsense

It's coming from a place where a lot of people aren't doing well in terms of mental health and the pandemic and waxing hypothetically about the end of the human race apropos of basically nothing doesn't help and should be discouraged

I am not doing well in terms of mental health as well as it relates to Covid and it helps to talk things out and commiserate with other people, as I said I did not share an at all uncommon opinion, I am not breaking any rules that I am aware of so I do not know what to tell you besides I apologize for causing you any trouble. We all hope new variants are not as bad, this is not a guarantee however and propagating that it is would be misinformation. People have every right to worry about things, there is no need to gatekeep worrying.

Thank you for fighting misinformation by coming into a thread about the omicron variant to express that the next one might kill us all

That you tried to reframe my concerns about extinct discourse as misinformation is incredibly offensive

User Banned (2 Weeks): Hostility; Prior Bans for Hostility

what am I reading here? A story of unreconciled Father / Son relationship, GoW and for some reason....a raffle? On the surface, this all seems rather strange. I wonder, at what point did the 10000s baddie impaled by your axe did you feel the need to reconnect with your father? I have lost my mother (and most of the female side of my family to cancer) and I too have a strained relationship with my father that really hit rock bottom when we were both trying to wrestle with the unfathomable loss within our family. But at no point did I feel a connection or prompt from a piece of media to "patch" things up. Sure, the old heartstrings were tugged a few times by familiar songs or movies but my driving force to open dialogue was born out of emotional support from other people, to an extent my own emotional maturity (bestowed by my mother) and an understanding that media (movies/games/music...etc) are an entirely separate entity to real life. To invest this much time and effort into whats essentially a love letter to a violent video game while trying to profess that it holds up a mirror to real life doesn't sit well. Im not surprised that it didnt go as well when you tried to reconnect as real life is far more sobering than any "cutscene" in a somewhat one note video game. Media and games can be a form of escapism, just dont get lost in trying to find meaning and / or equate all of its themes to your own life.

If I get banned for this post then so be it, im not trying to attack you OP. Its just that ive seen enough people in my life romanticize about life fuelled by the media they consume.

If there was any justice in this world the only opinions on this subject who would matter would be Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock since they and the voters of Georgia clutched up the majority for us.

Y’all say stuff like this and like “oh, just put Manchin’s daughter in prison” without stopping to think that in your frustration you are also advocating for fascism.

Blowing off steam is important. So is considering what you say and its implications before you hit send post.

advocating for fascism by saying corpo shills masquerading as elected officials should be punished, terrorized, and subjugated. He's just holding up trillions of dollars in social spending for obviously corrupt reasons, but "rah rah fascism", this why americans are flaccid.

How did I twist your words? You alleged that investigating Manchin for crimes and corruption nobody disagrees that he did, is fascism.

Answer this, is the only legitimate means of holding Manchin accountable voting him out? With the context that he's morally ethically and by all accounts criminally a piece of shit? Is the government not investigating congress people in general for corruption not an indication or marker of fascism?

  but how is saying a politician and their family should be put in prison for defying the father fascist? 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

what is even going on 

throw people we perceive as political enemies into prison (but not in a fascist way uwu, and heavens no we don't want those people to be able to do it at their whim like we do)

protect abortion rights with violence (but not in a militaristic way uwu, we're against the NRA and any kind of military spending, and it makes my bones bleed whenever I see a cop or protester strapped up for war/intimidation)

no one should have to work at all anymore but also we demand higher pay and cheaper housing and ever more entertainment media

I genuinely do not care about whether Trump threatened a thing. I care about forcing Joe Manchin to serve the people. I care about what Trump can and will actually do once he's back in power, which Manchin is aiding.

"Authoritarian" my ass. Joe Manchin's an authoritarian, he's a literal capitalist exploiter who is condemning this nation to fascism and climate catastrophe. Put things in perspective.

Taking the high ground is only going to feel good for a short time. Maybe Biden can give you a comforting hug when the country is in flames and make it all feel better.

In the thread they have decided the union got a bad deal and Kellogg's was the winner so the boycott needs to continue until Kellogg's gives into their demands. They are actually being principled and here you are attacking them in support of your corporate masters undermining union power by forcing them to agree to contracts with corporations.

Done with Kellogg's products (which right now I'm assuming is cereal only).

Boycotting's easy when I simply assume the products of a conglomerate are limited to things I don't already use and have ample competitors anyway.

This is because you do not understand the nuances of progressive thought. Joe Manchin is thwarting the people's will, an authoritarian act. Therefore any act against him is pro-democracy and pro-Earth. Please read this to understand how any act to suppress authoritarians who act against the people is not only justified but essential to protect a modern progressive democracy.

For historical examples you can look to when past Presidents protected democracy by imprisoning people (sometimes without charges if necessary) for protesting war and slavery. If Joe Biden wishes to join the greats like Lincoln and Wilson he too needs to act against those standing in the way of American democracy during a national emergency.

Was never into JonTron but from what I understand, he provides a pretty good argument that cancel culture doesn't exist.

Remember kids, cancel culture doesn't actually exist because people will forget what you did.

Agree with the other poster...not sure if cancel culture actually exists.

Yes, let's decide if this thing exists or not by only using examples of popular celebrities who were "cancelled" by an obscure video game forum. Not say any of the hundreds of normal people whose lives were torn apart and ruined by media promoted feeding frenzies. Let's talk about a popular YouTuber (who again, a small video game forum "cancelled") instead of say Sue Schafer, Gary Garrels, Justine Sacco, Alexandra Duncan or Emma Sarley. It's not hard to find these names. You'll probably remember a few of the incidents themselves if you look them up no matter what side you took in the heat of the moment.

Another thing we can do? Point to all the many articles discussing how "cancel culture" is actually a good thing, Zach Beauchamp wrote a hilarious one for Vox for example. I guarantee that we can find posts of this type on ResetERA.com itself.

There's something very amusing about the need for some of these people to spend ages claiming that things other people are criticizing doesn't even exist in the first place.
