4chan really needs to be a banned source on here, like seriously.

4chan has leaked more things than many of the "insiders" people love on here.

yeah lmao

there's a lot of trolls in 4chan but I'd take that over the insiders here who swear they're legit and start crying when they're dead wrong so they don't get bannned

4chan is a cesspit filled with the worst humanity has to offer, fuck off defending it because it very occasionally has actual leaks.

One time I saw this fight, the kid had just come back from Nam. He was hitchhiking through Oregon. Next thing we know there's a bunch of cops chasing him through the woods. He had to take them all out, it was a bloodbath.

The biggest school fight I witnessed?

We had done a test a week prior and the teacher handed out the results. My score wasnt amazing also not too bad. I scored a C, and a fellow male classmate who sat next to me had a D.

While we compared our tests, I could hear a fellow female classmate approaching the teacher with a friend's test result. She said that both, herself and her female fellow classmate got the same answer, but different points for it. The teacher responded "Oh well, you are right. The answer is wrong, I would have to take away points from your friend. But since the two of you are so pretty, I won't." The female classmate with the bad score thanked the teacher for not grading down her fellow classmates work.

inportant to note: You may correct the score to improve, but not to worsen in Germany. It'd be illegal to downgrade a returned paper. That girl didnt know this apparently.

I was still comparing my test with my fellow male classmate. And of course we found same answers graded differently as well. I told my classmate to go and show it to the teacher -- he had nothing to lose. Either the teacher corrected his score for the better, or it'd remain same.

He talked to the teacher, and the teacher responded that my answer was wrong. Bummer, there couldnt be done anything about his test. THEN the teacher continued and substracted points from my score (scribbling on my test-results). (Obviously I was not pretty enough to get a pass from his made up rules.) My classmate returned to me, handed me the test looking really depressed and apologized saying it was all his fault etc. I smiled at him with an honest smile and told him it's okay, I will take care of it.

After the lesson I walked up to the teacher and requested him to take back his "correction" from my test-results, as it is illegal to correct handed out tests so the score goes down. He was an ignorant asshole, I confronted him with what he said to the other two female classmates. I asked again if this is his last word in this regard. He responded, packing his bag not even looking at me, that he will not give me back those points. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, stood right between him and the classroom door and had my angry glance fixed on him, him finally looking back at me. Then I said "You are leaving me no choice then. I have to report this to our head of school and the states education board. He thought I bluffed. He repeated, emotionless and totally not caring "I won't change that score back." and left.

I went straight to the head of school, explained her the situation and she took note of it but while she didnt dismiss it didn't look like she'd do much. Before we parted I told her that, if she didn't do something about it I'd have to report it to the state's education board. I was ready to take this case to the very top, not because of the stupid score but because the teacher was a sexist asshole who apparently graded tests based on looks, gender and what not.

I got my test back with the old result, said teacher hated me for the rest of the year but it was still a weak win since I got my score back and taught him a lesson not to bully students.

Yeah, no violence involved sorry.

User Banned (1 Week): Concern Trolling; History of Accumulated Infractions

People still mosh in 2021? I don’t even see moshers in metal concerts anymore, they’re there to enjoy the music, especially obviously in the venues that ban moshing. Honestly, seeing this many people killing and hurting each other in a Travis Scott concert of all things is pretty cringeworthy. If it ain’t the drugs, it’s the troubled kids that are obviously mentally unstable and have no business attending a Travis Scott concert. Travis is fucked, especially since he encourages people to sneak in.

Agreed. What a sad sight to see. Travis Scott fans are a bunch of selfish disrespectful fools.

I've been to loads of metal/rock/punk concerts with mosh pits and general admission standing room, and if someone falls down, people stop what they're doing and try to help them up. There's a sense of comradery and community. I've seen insane live bands like Cannibal Corpse and not a single soul was trampled on during the show. People push and shove for sure, but nobody is trying to take a selfie over someone's lifeless body.

Metalheads are far more respectful and empathetic to others than rap/hip hop fans. No respect for Travis Scott, his fans, and whoever "organized" this event.

I mean what is he honestly supposed to do? He stopped the show a few times to check on people. I don't really see how Travis Scott is supposed to know that someone has committed a terrorist attack at his show and is stabbing people with what could be fentanyl. Ain't no way he can know that people in the crowd are dying unless someone goes onstage on telling. Someone backstage should've definitely shut shit down but again, I'm not how the artist on stage is supposed to do that. People passing away at a Travis show and really all concerts is a pretty normal thing. Why would he assume anything else?

I had a nail torn off during the fight so went to the nurses office for treatment and then like five minutes later the security staff walks in carrying the vice principal as he can’t walk with his face all bruised and a bloody nose…I tried to apologize but he went “Its a little too late for that!”

I need some of y’all to touch some grass. Travis Scott for sure has done some terrible things when it comes to his behavior at his shows, and he deserves some of the blame. But a lot of you are not looking at the whole picture. This is a prime example of the capitalist hell hole we are in right now. Live nation deserves most of this vitriol. They poorly organized this event. They had the power to shut this down on a dime, but no they rode it out to save a couple of bucks. They had 2 water stations for a festival of this size, and medics that asked the audience for assistance. It is getting extremely uncomfortable to see what’s being said. It is starting to feel anti black.

I mean, I hate to say it, he’s kinda got a point. Scott stopping the show immediately…would have still had people die (obviously not as many) considering how long it took for him to get the news visibly on stage and for ambulances to show up. The systemic failures were already in place before we hit that point.

So wait there are people in this thread still saying white supremacist Rittenhouse was in self defense if he traveled across state lines with an assault rifle and had shot into a crowd of racial justice protesters. It seems the protestors trying to stop him while his gun barrel was still hot, are more in self defense.

Sure, but your original claim was that he was in no danger beyond a black eye because it's just a skateboard so we're talking beyond being chased. If you want to get back to the actual case, he was being chased with guns in both shootings (I misspoke before, only referring to the 2nd murder because that is the one with the skateboard). And before my post is chopped up again, I don't mean this as a defense for what he did, I've been pretty consistent that he should go to jail for it. My only point is the context of how he ended up in this situation is and should be pretty important as far as why it is not self defense. Absent that context, defending yourself against an armed mob should be legal and I don't believe that's a crazy American stance

Both times he was attacked. They've got FBI footage of him running away yelling "friendly, friendly". And we've all seen footage of him getting zerg rushed by four people later.

He should be convicted of holding an AR as a minor. But even if you've committed a misdemeanor you have a right to defend yourself. And it was self defense for sure.

She snapped a photo (in case she died) instead of immediately taking life-saving action (fleeing or fighting). That's...not smart. Yes, some of it can be excused because in high-stress situations people will act poorly...but it's still dumb, and she's lucky to have survived. I'm pretty sure that had she died, they wouldn't have needed a photo to figure out it was a bear that did it.

is "not being the most right wing party in the country" enough to be considered a left party? because i would not say that a party that has had the trifecta multiple times but has still been unable to offer something so obvious as universal healthcare is a "left party" by any reasonable definition.

as gore vidal so beautifully put it, america has two right wings of a single party which can be called the property party.

Constructive thread on the whole Eternals review thread fallout does the most Era thing possible and starts with discussion of unequal standards:

Considering how mockery goes for anything DC related I think its rich that NOW marvel fans want review threads to be less toxic.

Or is the DC toxicity fine because they're not considered "cool"?

Considering how much of a shit show any thread (particularly review threads) turn into for properties like DC movies, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, ect...over the years on ResetEra, its hard for not to read it as pure sour grapes on certain posters here if they are taking exception to the tone of the Eternals review threads, and a complete inability to deal with what is really incredibly tame criticism of their favorite property.  Eternals' critical reception was mediocre.  People are going to dunk on it.  You'll live.

But obviously the solution is just declaring entire types of threads bad, instead of wondering if maybe addressing some inconsistency/hypocrisy  in how they're moderated might improve conditions:

Actual hot take: all review threads are absolute garbage fires and ones like Eternals only shines a spotlight on how bad they can get and have been.

Review threads as they exist right now directly contribute to fanboy-ism, too many people put way too much stock in them. I can't remember for what game again, but I recall there already being an instance of a minority reviewer getting her twitter account dogpiled for bringing up minority issues in her review after her tweets were linked in the thread until she deleted it.

I think review threads and hype threads are both a problem, honestly.

Damn this game looking like my ex-wife

You used to play her but now another man got her leaking?

This is something that has bugged me going all the way to the original Xbox One.

The machine is basically a paperweight without online connectivity.

1. You can't use a new system at all until you connect it to the internet and create an account.

2. You can't play a installed game at all if it detects an update unless you force the console offline. I often run into this problem with both Steam and Xbox. I tend to unplug a console if I don't plan on playing it for a while. This means that often times when I'm in the mood to play something there's a very large update I need to download first. My internet isn't the fastest so this usually takes several hours. (I wonder how they'll handle this issue on the Steam Deck)

3. You can't play disc games on the Series X unless you connect online to download a patch. I ran into this problem last night. Installed Dead Rising 3 from a disc last night offline since I wanted to play without waiting on a massive update. The game would not start until I connected my system back online to download the patch. I did that and then set my system offline since you can't play if there is an update detected. Apparently there's more to these updates than I realized because once I started the game I was greeted with a missing textures screen and the game automatically shutting down.


One good thing about the One X is once you set it up, I don't think you need online anymore just to play disc games.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns Around Bigotry; Armchair Diagnosis of Mental Health

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing concerns of bigotry

I’ve been watching his streams. He has spoken out against bigotry, sexism, and REALLY ripped into blizzard about the sexual harassment and called the delvs who did that clowns. At one point there was an attractive girl during a stream with someone and chat was being toxic. He told them to knock that shit off and to respect people Or he would ban them.

he is not a bigot. He is not perfect but hes not a bigot. He’s an asshole when he streams sometimes but I think thats a character he plays.

On his other channel he is much calmer and more eloquent With his speech which is why I think hes playing a character. He’s like a completely different person when hes not on his primary stream.

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing concerns of bigotry

I am not going to wade into this shit that happens every time someone is posted about that is “questionable” here. It must be exhausting to look at anyone and expect them to be perfect all the time. Human beings and existence are messy and not perfect. If he said some shitty stuff and changed after saying said shitty things, then that’s all most of you could and should ask for. He’s a fucking YouTuber. Not the president. Not someone making decisions about anything remotely important. A fucking YouTuber.

With that said, from what I gather he had to make the decision to take his mom off life support or make the decision to stop her care so she could die as peacefully as possible. I don’t care who you are or what the internet thinks of you, when you have to make that decision, to it snatches a part of your soul and it fucking changes you. And sharing that kind of vulnerability with the world is fucking HARD. I’m terribly sorry he, or anyone on this forum has had to go through that because all you do for the rest of the time you have is second guess your decision.

Life is precious and we have so little time.

User Banned (3 Months): Callous dismissal of concerns of bigotry

People like you are the reason it is so fucking awful discussing the impact bigotry like Asmongolds has had on us.

I am replying to people who respond to me directly, like you. If you have proof this person has changed, share it, it should be very easy for you to understand why the people he directly said hateful shit about would not take that on the word of random strangers online.

The fact that you think this is the place to do that shows how little class or tact you possess. Make a new thread about his bigotry to balance it out stop taking this one off-topic. I'm guessing you won't because you know you will get responses here.

User Banned (Permanent): Dismissing concerns around transphobia; Prior severe bans for dismissing concerns around objectification and stereotyping as 'outrage culture'

This is the last time I'll chime in this thread before I put it on ignore but this is so sad - to come into a thread to talk about his mother passing away and to turn it 180 and make it about something offensive he's said in the past - despite people who regularly watch his streams saying that he's changed - but some people can't accept that, being offended is just so easy. If you want to talk about the things he's said then go make a seperate thread about it and let the people who wish to offer condolences and talk about grief in this one.

I hope Asmon gets better soon and is back up on his feet streaming. I can't imagine what he went through and what he must be going through and will continue to go through. Loss like this always reminds of the Glee episode "The Quarterback" and Finns mom talking about how when she wakes up for a split moment she forgets that he'd dead and then "I remember" and it's so fucking heart-breaking. I have an aunt who has trouble breathing and sometimes I when I see her - her lips are blue and I know it's because of a lack of oxygen and I get so fucking scared and sad and shit man... life fucking sucks sometimes.

Era sometimes feels like it's them versus gaming youtube/twitch.  Asmongold is relatively well-liked outside of bubbles like that, including progressives in the FF14 community, its developers, and even socialist house-having icon Hasan.  Actual big names (some of which Era like) are going to take his side over a shrinking video game forum.

the funny thing is if someone really wanted to they could concoct a gish-gallop about zerovagineman based on selected old tweets as 'evidence' to push a narrative.

FOR FUCKING EXAMPLE!

Look at him tweeting the mobius movie to 'stop' - notice he has nothing but praise for the MALE led MCU movies by the MALE Kevin Feige, who he will give endless chances to, but can't stand to see a WOMAN in a position of POWER and AUTHORITY in hollywood!

Look at him harrassing noted FEMINIST AUTHOR Margaret Atwood A WOMAN because she retweeted an article he doesn;t like, but doesn't attack any MEN on twitter?!?!?

Look at him harassing STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN Gina Carano on twitter for retweeting A MANS tweet; not the MAN who originally made it, like all OBVIOUS GAMERGATER MISOGYNISTS he would rather TARGET WOMEN when they express IDEAS ABOVE THEIR STATION instead of SHUTTING UP when a MAN TELLS THEM TO SHUT UP

I'm not actually going to go through his timeline to find these specific tweets plus any others that can be used to push the narrative that hes a woman hating gamergater because I'm not the turbocunt he is

the only unique new trans rights I can think of are

• it being socially acceptable and not a crime to use whatever bathroom you want
• ease of availability of transitioning drugs, though I don't know if anyone has a "right" to a product unless it's a gov funded utility

everything else is rights people already have as humans and it would take a lot to convince me they're genuinely under attack

• the right to not get murdered for any reason, up to and including if a partner is surprised to discover you have a dick
• the right to the pursuit of personal happiness, which does not mean you can impose upon others that they have to make your pursuit easy
• no one has a right NOT to be called any given hurtful thing, whether it's "he" or "fuckface" or "karen," because it's just words; this doesn't mean it should be socially acceptable to be hurtful, but it has nothing to do with rights

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It's by no means unique to the 'dreadfully online' trans activists that when they talk about 'human rights' they want the right to berate and harass an opposing viewpoint into any form of submission up to and including suicide, but also demand their viewpoint goes unchallenged and is treated as a Universal Objective Truth.

But they're the exact same type of cunts as the people they fight against. Insert relevant Nietzsche quote about fighting monsters here.

See, this is why this whole shebang is just pointless bollocks:

Kathleen Stock, a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex, does not believe people can change their biological sex, an opinion she has been vocal about in her academic work and on social media. Critics have accused her of being transphobic.

Are we talking about sex or gender? Nobody knows, nobody cares, everyone just wants to fight.

the only unique new trans rights I can think of are

• it being socially acceptable and not a crime to use whatever bathroom you want
• ease of availability of transitioning drugs, though I don't know if anyone has a "right" to a product unless it's a gov funded utility

everything else is rights people already have as humans

And this is why the conversation is intentionally murky. It's not about rights, it's about privileges. Openly stating as much would be poison, so everybody plays the game.

It's a massive waste of time.

Edit: Fuck, top of the page.
