I am just flabbergasted how educated people do not realize you cannot get proper economic reform due to the social issues that are inherited in the system. Yeah I understand people who worry about money may not worry about social issues but we won't fix either issue if we don't take care of the root problem. The whole system is broken, unfair, and those who want to keep it are oppressors who need to be taken down.

"Okay he/him maybe we should try to get Medicare For All first and then we'll see about your death for misgendering laws."
"Why bother? Nothing can be done until the entire system is overthrown!"

random local news story about a nurse who flung hot soup in a waitress's face

shared for all to see because imgur is as much a cesspit of human misery as era is



and this dumb motherfucker's first knee-jerk response is that she needs to actually be murdered, confusing already extreme rhetoric that's been thrown around so much, for something that's now just generically acceptable at all times

White supremacists (especially white supremacist judges) love applauding veterans dude.  It's like the "ok" sign for WWII vets - telling them to go fuck themselves for fighting for the wrong side.

Actually a judge doing that is apealable. I remember a case in school about a judge polishing his gun in court. Appeals court overturned the case because it creates an impression on the jury that not evidence at trial.

Call of Duty: Vanguard's zombie map, Der Anfang, has caused upset due to its inclusion of pages from the Quran being spread over the floor - allowing the Quran to touch the floor is considered desecration. Blood splatters and bullet holes also appear on the in-game pages.

This was first spotted by Twitter user @BKTOOR, who shared pictures and a video of the pages and urged the Call of Duty team to remove the offensive content. A hotfix was quickly implemented that removed the pages from the map, and an apology has been issued, but only by the Call of Duty Middle East Twitter account.

A translation of the apology reads: "Call of Duty is made for everyone. There was insensitive content to the Muslim community mistakenly included last week, and has since been removed from the game. It should never have appeared as it did in game. We deeply apologise. We are taking immediate steps internally to address the situation to prevent such occurrences in the future." The small scale of the apology has led to the hashtag #No_Call_of_Duty trending in the Middle East.

This is not the first time content offensive to Muslims has been included in a Call of Duty game. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Favela map had scripture from the Quran etched into the frame of a painting situated in a bathroom - a place deemed inappropriate for the Holy book.

While it is not believed these inclusions occurred as part of any intentional Islamaphobia, they do betray an ignorance of Islam and its many, diverse practitioners.

Typically, TheGamer has avoided any coverage of Call of Duty, or any Activision Blizzard games, since the lawsuit that alleged gross misconduct and abuse at Activision Blizzard. We made this decision not only because of the allegations, but because of Activision Blizzard's response, which was initially a mixture of gaslighting and denial. However, we felt it was important to highlight this issue despite our boycott.

I could see how it could plant the idea of certain witnesses being more credible because they're worthy of being lauded like that, and that could be a problem.  But I don't think the judge specifically knew that a defense witness was a veteran, nor do I think he would not have called for applause in the circumstance that there were veterans on the prosecution side, too.     Shrug.

The game bends over backwards to be inclusive and one tiny thing results in "omg, I quit the game instantly, alarm the twitter brigades" 

[benjipwns]

"I was pretty shocked," one player, who asked to remain anonymous, told me. "I enjoyed the intro sequence and was having a lot of fun, but hearing the announcer call out my deadname completely blindsided me. I quit the game immediately and was close to just refunding it on Steam.

"I really wanted to play with my friends, so I cooled down a bit and spent an hour trying to figure out how to reset my save to remove any chance of it deadnaming me again. I just wanted to reset my save so my deadname wasn't on it. I changed my name in my Microsoft account to something it couldn't voice and tried playing the game again as normal after resetting my save."

Sorry, did you try ending capitalism and colonialism?

This thread and this study is a prime example of why I've just decided it's best I focus on getting the fuck out of this hellhole.

Even if it's a pipe dream, it's much more attainable than any kind of equity for oppressed minorities.

Imagine thinking you're going to flee to somewhere more "woke" than the United States.

I don't mean to poke the hive here, but I think it's important to keep in mind that a lot of these nakedly ridiculous ideas, these appeals to minorities to shelve their concerns in the pursuit of "M4A" and "Breaking up the banks."

...a lot of this shit, to the extent that the left should care about it (because honestly it's 'fuck the right' all day every day), are coming from groups who don't see themselves as conservative or right-leaning.

A lot of this bullshit is coming from people who would enthusiastically describe themselves as being Progressive/Socialist.

I think it's very important that not get lost in this. In any space where whiteness is prevalent, white supremacy is often not far behind.

And as a Black Progressive who does that work irl, it is often not white conversavatives who are making me feel sidelined.

Agree. Just look at Robin DiAngelo, a white woman who promotes the theory that white people inherently have amazing psychic powers and gets rich selling this to white people who hire her to lecture white people all so large companies can avoid anti-discrimination lawsuits by pointing to her training.

Oh wait, this was intended as a defense of "wokeness" politics?

Lmao wtf is deadnaming

They just keep making shit up as they go along to have something to complain about. If it wasn't this than it was being unable to pick the color of the starter car, colorism!

Deadnaming is what happens when Karen wakes up one morning and decides to call herself Nepenthe, but the fam keep calling her Karen.

I mean, that tweet is from the author of 'How Need for Speed let me embrace my queerness through its cars', so I'd say they're something of an expert on automotive GSM issues.

The deadnaming complaint is straight bollocks. If you were that bothered, you'd have already taken the two minutes to change it in your MS account. I suspect the complaint was made up when someone realised it used your MS account name, and then thought of ways that could be problematic.

[Nintex]

I’ve had a busy week with meetings back to back all day, pretty much. Today is the first day I have time to breathe. I am finding that lately I just feel super tired of the work I’m doing and want to be doing something else. I want to stay at my current job but I am just getting bored of doing the same thing over and over, it’s just making me lose interest and making the days go by slowly. I actually feel like collectively most people are feeling this way right now, it seems like everyone needs a break or something.

Username checks out

It wouldn't be a week on REEE without an ExhaustedWalrus "woe is me" thread.  What a pathetic piece of crap.  Oh, you're "tired" and "burnt out" because you had to sit in meetings?  Talk to a nurse working 24 hour shifts and then get back to me.

After spending the majority of my life hating tattoos, I'm starting to make up for lost time and slowly building up a piece on my arm.

It's a bit of a celebration of the many strong and amazing women in my life and I'm also looking to include some strong women from history.

So far I'm getting Emmeline Pankhurst, Rosa Parks and Ruth Bader Ginsburg... Just looking for one more to complete to design....

Loads out there...Frida Kahlo, Malala Yousafzai etc... But wanted to get some ideas/suggestions before I commit.

simple answer no because its not music. im sorry it just isnt

• Dude makes a thread asking if people like rap music, era being era accusations of racist dog whistles are flying and its locked by page 2 with no lock message
• Dude remakes the thread because there was no fucking reason why it got locked the first time, it trucks along, mod locks it for being 'low effort' and 'not much to discuss' and says sorry they didnt say that before (but not sorry for all of incelshits twitter reposts that are even less thread worthy but that get a pass)
• Dude makes the thread a third time, this time putting a bunch more detail into the OP so nobody could claijm it was low effort, it gets fucking locked again AND the dude gets his thread making priviliges removed
• Another dude makes the thread again because its clearly fucking bullshit how the original poster got done dirty by a mod triggered by uhhhh asking if people like rap music, and copped a month long ban for 'trolling' for it
