And you want me to believe Era isn't antisemitic?

Anti semitism is alive and well

It’s become totally normalized on the far right and far left.

Who on the "far left" is normalizing antisemitism?

I don’t have the mental energy or will right now to list all the massive amount of examples of Jews being attacked all over the world by these groups simply because they are Jewish.

I'm not denying that, but show me what leftist groups are normalizing antisemitism?

This isn’t the fucking time or place for this. I’m sick and terrified for my community. I don’t owe you anything.

I literally wrap toilet paper around my finger and stick it all the way up and I still get brown streaks. I don't know what more I could feasibly do

 

I knew a russian exchange student in uni who was broke as shit, he swore that instead of using toilet paper, he would fold up a normal piece of paper four times into a square, rip out the corner, stick it up his ass to wipe and then use the little ripped out piece to clean under his fingernail.

Never figured out if he was fucking with me or not but he was a mad cunt so....

In today's "How is Era staff so bad at this", someone starts a thread about something shitty Troy Baker did and puts in work to provide links to relevant information.

Interestingly Troy Baker is getting bagged elsewhere online (by 'leftists'!) for endorsing some weird NFT AI deep fake VO artists voices thing, but I haven't seen it mentioned on era although theres a solid fucking debate to be had on to what extent a voice over artist owns their own voice and to what extent an AI reproducing it to say shit they might not say (and importantly won't get paid for) is legal / ethical / moral.

But its an NFT related thing, and the mods have established their (undisclosed financial) interests in NFTs as an unshitupable topic.

Will say this. I agree with the existence of the BBC license, the BBC's historical and recent output, and loathe seeing the org having its funding stripped away by the Conservative Party over time. To me, privatisation of cultural funding and institutions, even though I certainly won't agree with some of their direction or editorial stances for example, is a cancer that leads to homogenised and mass-market rubbish that caters to the lowest common denominator - especially when regional and rural programs get inevitably eliminated. Seeing the same thing in Australia. Netflix and YouTube content the best outcome? Yeah right dipshits. But alas, a deeper convo for another time.

So I must be a transphobe or some complicit enabler for thinking this right? Kyuuji and ERA's usual clownforce can fuck right off.

Bunch of sagging fuckwits.

[Nintex]

Despite its faults I always respected the BBC for upholding some old school high quality journalistic standards that other media outlets in general don't.
On a scale where in terms of being biased CNN and Fox News get a 1/10 and 2/10 respectively, the BBC certainly sat at a 7/10 or so.

They also funded some documentaries and other stuff over the years that other outlets simply won't.
Netflix has a few documentaries but overall it's just adding content already available to their service.

[Propagandhim]

From an outsider's perspective: It's not perfect, but it's got some of the most impressive programming and production in the history of television with no corporate influence and ads.  It's also a sort of cultural and historical institution where, despite peoples' political differences, they come together to contribute to for a relative pittance, really.  $200 is not a lot of money for what the BBC has offered.  I wish we had that sort of thing here.  Maybe like, burning down the entire thing because of some perceived slights isn't the answer?

[Kurt Russell]

The BBC needs to do three things - unbiased and independently audited news, educational programming and public service broadcasting. All of these things can be achieved without the regressive tax that is the TV license.

[Nintex]

This quote is pretty wild

“This licence fee announcement will be the last. The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors are over. Time now to discuss and debate new ways of funding, supporting and selling great British content.”

For a little perspective:  Imagine yourself as a Maryland tax-payer.  Suddenly Top-Gear and Dr Who seem like a steal.

How about we actually focus on the topic of the thread?

Bdubs wants people to stop talking about the rhetoric that arguably led to the situation.  Seems pretty on-topic to me, especially now that the actual situation is over.

Gotta say, reading up on Aafia Siddiqui and the movement to get her released has been absolutely wild.  I actually thought that case with the teenage ISIS girl in the UK had some validity due to the citizenship thing, but this woman should have NO ONE defending her.  No one in that thread is supporting her directly, but they're going to bat for the people trying to release her, which would get a "dismissing concerns" ban if it was about literally any other group.  I'm pretty comfortable calling people like Linda Sarsour and CAIR "Jew Haters" if they're supporting Siddiqui.

Honestly just kill all of these people. There are so many garbage people out there. Just make them all disappear already. At least with China there is order, social credit system to force people to behave a certain way. Don’t expect your citizens to be respectful like Japan, they can have kids ride the train without worry, but America it is so fucked. There needs to be harsher penalties.

Its disgusting the level of discourse these cunts are pushing. Literally any time you suggest you disagree with frosk, you are immediatley labeled as a sexist. That you are a perverted man. That you are a bigot. These people need to be put into a fucking mental hospital.

[benjipwns]

I'm pretty comfortable calling people like Linda Sarsour and CAIR "Jew Haters" if they're supporting Siddiqui.

While I'm not sure about Jews in particular, Sarsour has a history of history of saying bigoted things (particularly about women) and then accusing her critics of Islamophobia when they draw attention to them. CAIR also has a history of history of trying to distract from criticism (including about sexual harassment in their workplace) as based in Islamophobia.

As regards the claim in the second ban, while the connections to terrorist groups are disputed by CAIR, they are pretty openly funded by Islamic states and members do have a history of claiming that terrorism is not terrorism if performed by Muslims as well as spreading conspiracy theories about acts of terrorism.

Also another example of the social justice concerned staff of ResetERA.com defending an extremely conservative set of Muslims (that reject the concept of women's rights and support the imposition of religious law on outsiders) from criticism.

the answer is obvious, but did they never have mates as kids who were into one or two things different stuff to them, or follow a different sports team?

No, they have never associated with bigots.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

While we will be hosting a barebones OT after the game releases so that people may discuss the game and it's issues, we have decided not to host any threads meant to promote or advertise the game due to Rowling's transphobia. As a result we are locking this thread.

From a year ago in the same thread:

Hoping it gets thread limit and a basic OT here like Cyberpunk did.

Oh I'll be batting for more than that. Especially if she continues as she has done between now until release. There's a marked difference between CDPR and this vile slime of a woman.

Guess she will only beat it once rather than New Game+. (Or maybe will have to beat it three times due to just how vile it is?)

[railGUN]

So Hogwarts game thread is locked because we don't want to discuss the property that that transphobe TERF created.

But... the Pottermore eBooks thread remains open so that everyone can be sure to download and save the eBooks that that transphobe TERF created.

Slayven taking the LSAT.  That's it.  That's the tweet.

[benjipwns]

While I am not an expert and only have some familiarity as a feeder division, I do not believe law schools have majors, there are certainly different course types and if one is desiring to practice in an area it's advised to take those courses as you get an early start, but everyone receives the same degree and it's irrelevant to what you eventually practice. (Especially since your early jobs will be entirely decided by the firm until you display expertise.)

While Slayven at such a young age shows potential as a researcher, even if he survives COVID I think the ABA's recent expansion of rules requiring far more written work in law schools than previously may be a detriment.

It's a little bit more nuanced than that, though - there are payment brands, issuers, acquirers etc. All provide different elements of a transaction and perform different services for a cut of the processing fee.

Sure, but the fact is, with all of the now-standardised systems and processes in place regarding online shopping, where shit like 2FA and AI monitoring of purchase habits are all in place, there's less credit card fraud and unauthorised transactions happening now than ever, so its is cheeky AF for credit card issuers to be putting their fees up.
