Locking this thread before someone comes in with a hot take.

The reason I'm locking this is because a bunch of people who don't know anything about any of this are going to come in with hot takes and totally ignore everything

Man, that would meane majority of the site would be filled up with locked threads.

The whites literally had to run their slave business from port towns, cause the in-land African diseases killed the fuck out of em. Part of the diseases that were spread were carried by the West-African slaves they introduced in the Americas.

Damn, us whites should've washed our slaves better.

"Conclusions

Children aged <1 year, especially of minority groups, are at higher risk for invasive Salmonella infections."

"Increased incidence of Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter infections however, do not appear to be attributable to a single food source; thus, a logical first place to look is with the consumers themselves and their knowledge and behaviors related to food safety. A growing body of research has focused on the handling of foods by consumers of minority and low income populations. This research has identified some safe food handling knowledge and behavior gaps which are consistent with those seen in the general population as well as some which are unique to these populations."

Last time chicken washing was a thing I ended up looking for a history of it and finding this:  https://eatocracy.blogs.cnn.com/2013/09/10/a-brief-history-of-chicken-washing/
Where the comments have gems like:

Patrick Watson
If it is not in a can or completely frozen, wash it. Wash it thoroughly and completely, AND cook it thoroughly and completely.

Chances are that foodstuff was handled by someone with poop on their hands, a poor, low-education, or someone who generally doesn't understand cause-and-effect.

The best thing you can do is either: (1) Buy your food from high-end stores where you can be sure the lumpen have not handled it; or, (2) Wash the food thoroughly and cook it until it is shitbug dead.

So black people wash chicken because racist white butchers might have ground grit into it, while white people wash it because a poor might have touched it?

At which point I have to conclude white people stopped washing chicken because whites all became rich enough to shop at high-end stores where the poors can't muck it up.

[HardcoreRetro]

The poop thing might have some truth to it. The same medical journal I looked at said e.coli infections were higher in whites.

We love eating shit.

Nepenthe popped up in Constructive to react to the Coyote Stark post:

I won't lie. After the last spate of reports in the thread where Will retired from the Academy, and the questions about rule consistency, I had just kinda had it. Not that there was anyone to blame; I felt like I was mainly holding down that whole row on my own and simultaneously that no one solution was "good enough", hence some frustration I may have displayed. I vented a little and was told by staff to take a break (You can see I didn't listen but yanno); a lot of times this job feels like trying to swim up a waterfall, that there isn't any amount of effort you can put in to fix things sometimes.

So gestures of appreciation like your post really do help and bring me back down from 11 lol. Thank you.

It doesn't matter if the movie is being universally shit on. You're being hostile and aggressive in a thread that is mostly people agreeing how shit the movie is, because there are people intentionally provoking you. These people know how easy it is to bait people like you, that's why they keep doing it.

Considering you came into the thread to hyperbolically accuse people of 'losing their minds,' something that absolutely wasn't happening in this thread, it kind of feels like you are one of the people trying to provoke and bait.

[benjipwns]

Someone pops into Constructive apropos of nothing to crack up that breakfuss REAL INTENTIONS were finally revealed.

Dude with the cream of wheat av posting all that nonsense is killin me man 🤣  Joined in 2017 and it took this long, five fucking years, for his real intentions to pop. God bless!

Also Hecht posts this which would be a good post on another message board, but on Era right after the Embiid post and the whole Smith/Rock thing is pretty funny:

First off, fuck you [USER=27661]Coyote Starrk[/USER]. Just want to show there is no favoritism.

But one of the things that is both interesting and infuriating is that staff needs to be cognizant of damn near everything that goes on in the world. Seriously, we should all have geopolitical degrees in order to do this shit.  That’s on top of things like racial injustice, gender inequality…and I’m forgetting something, oh yeah, GAMING industry knowledge.

I am immensely proud of the staff we have for being able to navigate the myriad bullshit that shows up every single day. I am fairly up to speed on gaming and have a general understanding of political issues. But I’m a cis, straight, white, male, so I rely on other staff members to help out for a lot of other things. And I respect their opinion and take it into account before I make any decision (assuming I am the one that needs to make the decision). I’m not gonna whine about how hard it is, but the breadth of topics we have to cover and moderate is not a simple task.

And having everything show up all at once, holy fuck. May as well have a thread entitled “Will Smith praises Russia during a presser in Palestine where he was there to promote his new cryptocurrency.”

Then Royalan pops up to make sure we all know his behavior in threads is "soft power" to "guide discussion" instead of outright moderating, and with that I'd like to never hear Era mods claim their casual posts shouldn't be read as mod stance:

Thank you so much for mentioning me. ❤️

Although it would weigh on my heart if I didn't mention that, lately, I really haven't been that active on the moding side of things. Work stuff, mental health stuff, etc. I do weigh in on some of the bigger reports/issues, answering DMs, attending the meetings to stay up-to-date. And lately I have personally favored the "soft power" of moderating a thread through directly guiding discussion.  But, in terms of the day-to-day stuff that keeps the place going, there are so many members of the team who really put that work in.

They want to be seen as authorities in intelligent discourse, instead of admitting they are actually volunteer jannies for a bunch of hateful adults who never grew up.  It’s like a mall security guard building themself up as some criminal investigator, when the reality is they’re a glorified witness to shoplifters.

Journalist Colin Moriarty just did an interview today with him as well. I found that he asked more direct and hard hitting questions than the IGN one. He really held Hasan’s feet to the fire more even though Hasan finds ways to weasel his way out of each question through lots of rambling and confusing answers. I thought a full hour interview would make everything much clearer but it really just made it all more convoluted in a way. I know he’s obviously a con man but the angle of his scam is sort of confusing to me.

Anyone who is still frying their chicken in oil is doing it wrong. All you have to do is cover your chicken in flour, preferably by putting it in the flour bag itself so you don't have any additional cleanup, and then just microwave it for like 9 minutes. It turns out pretty much almost exactly the same except it's way healthier because there's no oil.

I don't see any threads about that. Which make it hard to take the replies in this thread seriously.
This just looks like virtue signaling. Specially to someone who is not western.
 

Acting like its a binary decision in choosing to be ethical or not.... You can throw as many slippery slopes and whataboutisms you want, but you might as well just post what you really mean. Who are you actually referring to as hypocrites here? Literally anyone in society who choose not to support specific products?

Nice mental gymnastics you have to pull so you aren’t bothered by the genocide.

I didn't say I'm not, I'm just not agonizing about why we aren't doing anything. It's not currently in any government's interest to do so, end of story.

Also I wouldn't call it genocide, war crimes yes but it's not genocide.

Like if you're still gonna buy new SNK products, in my mind its comparable to if you continue to purchase new Harry Potter books or something.

Great, now I'm compared to TERFs.

I feel that boycotting SNK is probably kind of useless in the great scheme of things given that the guy is a Saudi Prince that is already filthy rich to begin with. Isn’t most of this stuff vanity projects for them to begin with?

As someone who supports a football team the Saudi PIF just bought, there is very little you can do.
