"Account in Junior Phase"

Account dates back to 2017. Which made me look at the General Guide:

Junior Phase

Once your account is activated, you can immediately begin posting replies. In order to discourage elitism, no publicly visible distinction is made between new members and longtime veterans. However, accounts that have less than 500 posts and/or joined less than 90 days ago may be subject to stricter moderation, as we have to be on the lookout for troll accounts and bad faith posters. This 'junior phase' is your chance to settle in, get a feel for the forum, and demonstrate your capacity for civil discourse. Please do not try to push any limits until you are sure where the lines are. Do not try to inflate your post count with spam or low quality posts.

So unless you make it to 500 posts ever they're going to assume you're a bad faith poster who has yet to "demonstrate your capacity for civil discourse" and thus be subject to harsher penalties.

[Uncle]

and each of those posts could consist of "lol" and "slay kween" and "nah fam" and "this ain't it chief"

once you hit 500, bam, protected*


*banned at the drop of a hat anyway with a carefully rationalized ban message

That's actually okay, there wouldn't have been a majority if the single anonymous source of the story's vote count is accurate. Three of the five votes are Trump appointees and Kennedy wouldn't be a vote to overturn if he was still on the court waiting for a R to replace him.

I truly believe the USA as a country is doomed and as such truly hope that at some point in my life I'll be able to witness blue states seceding, no matter how unlikely that possibility is. There's simply too many flaws in the USA's democracy which enable bullshit like this.

I honestly wouldn't mind watching this happen at this point, the US is a failed state and our system of government doesn't work when half the country exists solely to fire 24/7/365 spite at anyone who isn't exactly like them.

I get that this is bad and all, but does it really have anything to do with fascism?

overturning earlier decisions takes abortion from a federal requirement to something decided at every state level

fascism is all about forcing people to do specific things for the state or behave a certain way, it's never about easing up on laws or requirements

you can call this a number of horrible things but it doesn't bring to mind fascism, unless you're going the route of "this is just the first step, next they'll federally mandate no abortions ever, and all those unaborted babies will have to be raised christian"

Funny enough, if the Court hadn't ignored "democracy" originally to issue Roe (and Casey) we probably wouldn't even have abortion rights today. Something they also dislike when the Court protects free speech, rights of the accused, etc.

But in this instance they dislike the Court returning the protection of a right to the hands of America's more democratic institutions because they know they can't get a majority in favor of their position.

Why does RE still thinks that having a big IP is an automatic recipe for success in video games? Even thought Avengers is cinematic juggernaut, that doesn’t mean people are going to buy a 60$ dollar game just to play as Captain America. That game needed to have Arkham/SonySpiderMan levels of hype and polish to even entertain the idea of a successful GaaS, specially in a world where stuff like Genshin Impact and Warframe are free to play.

Don't fucking take your ball and go home and then bitch about your rights being shredded.

I have voted in every midterm and national election I've been eligible for, including the one that turned Georgia Blue.

My rights are still being shredded.

I get to fucking bitch about that.

I also get to fucking bitch about the fact that my loyalty is very rarely rewarded because the white liberals who run the show don't care about Black people like that. Y'all bang the drum about how heroic we are for our voting consistency every election before you turn around and tell us why cops need an extra billion added to their budget, or blame our issues for losing key races. Two-faced pieces of shit.

I also get to fucking bitch about the moral grandstanding about voting that happens every single time my rights are on the chopping block, because A.)Democrats have won the majority of popular votes for most of our lived experiences and yet here we fucking are, with Roe v. Wade about to be up and flames and B.) Liberals don't fucking DO anything else BUT vote.

You all act as if that is the only thing you can do for people.

Fucking get up on a weekend and perform some mutual aid. Get out there and actually make a physical difference in someone's lives. Get involved in the organizations that are actually trying to work outside of the system that we all know is rigged to the best of their ability and establish lifelines for the vulnerable. The amount of money that fucking passes to Patreon and Onlyfans and video game publishers can certainly go to the minorities willing to do the work that the majority of people in this topic acting like they're hot shit because they do the bare minimum and vote blue every two years just can't fucking be bothered with.

Seriously, if I get one more motherfucker telling me "vote harder" or I deserve what I get I'm going to lose my fucking mind. DEMOCRATS REGULARLY OUTVOTE REPUBLICANS. IT'S NOT WORKING.

I...don't disagree with anything you said. I never said "vote harder". I'm talking about folks who seem to have decided that it is better not to vote.

Who cares if a person in California doesn't vote? Who cares if a person in Tennessee doesn't vote? Most states are entrenched in their demographics at this point, and our districting and voting systems so dumb that, mathematically, it is true that some votes just don't matter. And again, you can outvote the opponent overall, as Democrats do most of the time, and still lose.

Democrats don't have an answer for this.

[benjipwns]

I think an armed revolution could potentially happen with the right conditions, circumstances, and a hell of a lot more organizing, but we're not there yet. I think the current socioeconomic conditions we're living under are rife for a legitimate revolution in the coming years. I realize the idea seems absurd to a lot of people, but the concept of the Chinese Communist Revolution probably seemed absurd prior to the 20th century.

It's really frightening to.hope that this is the case but it may be where we are at. I fear most people just don't care enough to try but it may be getting to the point where it's resist or die.

I think we're getting pretty close to this point tbh

And what’s the worst that would’ve been the backlash? Dems lose the midterms and 2024? News flash buddy that’s gonna happen anyway because Dems haven’t accomplished shit and demoralized plenty.

GOP isn’t scared of backlash when they do their naked power grabs. And in fact the opposite has happened, they’ve only been rewarded every time.

They had kinda 60 seats for 70 days and passed some of the largest overhauls of healthcare and banking in America’s history.

And they had 59 for the remaining 660 days but didn’t do shit.

Even if Dems miraculously get 52 seats in the Senate there’ll be a third Manchin/Sinema scapegoat popping up saying they’re also against abolishing the filibuster. That’s how these fucks operate. And y’all will continue to make excuses for them because none of you are actually affected by any of this cruelty. Upper middle class white fucks like you just get to say “well you should’ve voted” (even though we did and for most probably will continue to) anytime someone dares to suggest that perhaps the folks in power should do something about the fact that women will literally be dying because they don’t have access to reproductive care.

Staff cannot realistically be expected to read every single comment in every single thread and resolve reports in a matter of minutes and respond to every single personal alert we get which is... so many.

Actually women may not even want to go to any red state university in fear of being raped.

Not sure if "When you get raped at our university you can get an abortion" is the PR campaign blue states should go with

Oh I've got some solutions. Discussing them will get me banned here, and I need to be careful with how I search for information about them online though

Voting is useless. There will need to be an uprising eventually. It will be very bad.

Why should we abide by the dictates of an illegitimate fascist government? Don't comply, don't give up your power to simply not submit to them.

The whole last page is people ragging on mods.

You're right, I didn't realise the article was updated over time, because as established there was no indication of such on the article itself. It was an honest mistake and I was corrected and I apologise if my post caused any confusion. I do not appreciate being characterised as a Heard supporter.

Staff cannot realistically be expected to read every single comment in every single thread and resolve reports in a matter of minutes and respond to every single personal alert we get which is... so many. Every single day. Still, people demand that often. There are other threads than this currently comprising a bulk of the report queue. These things are not an automatic process. What people don't seem to realise is that when they start backseating whilst complaining that we don't act fast enough, they are quite literally adding to the time it takes for staff to review matters.

Just keep it civil.

fortunately we have a recent example from an administrator on what keeping it civil looks like:

Honestly, shut the fuck up you utter dipshit.

I want to see these people come out and fully explain the logistics of their uprising or civil war

how does it start? who do you target first?

like nepenthe gets a group of 50 blue blooded americans to follow her into a state capitol building with guns or something, and then what?

you really think nationwide there wouldn't be immediate strong condemnation from bOtH sIdEs?




ok, they'll say no, that wasn't our plan

well what is the plan?

how are you even going to untangle the web of 50% of the country liberal or conservatives living in any particular area? how do you know who to shoot?

basically your only chance is to get a very liberal governor elected who somehow secedes from the USA, prompting some kind of federal response

assuming you succeed, now you suddenly get a taste of what it's like to not live in the US and have to make trade treaties as an independent nation and fund your own everything and suddenly be in a very delicate situation as far as being taken over from within or without

I mean, there will be protests, but we already saw from the George Floyd protests that these people will just hunk down and let the mass storm of peaceful protests pass. Voting is a rigged game that is getting more and more rigged as the GOP makes more moves to be able to ignore results they don't like, and even without that as a factor, voting isn't going to have a lot of impact at this point since this court is solidified unless there is at least 2 unexpected deaths during a Dem presidency when Dems hold the Senate. Really, we're at a point where the only thing that is going to impact change is an organized revolt, one that inspires legitimate fear for the safety of the people in power and their families.

But that isn't going to happen. The minute you start talking about stuff like that, people get too nervous, and most of the "allies" will pull back the reigns and/or you're just going to be laughed at for it being unrealistic. But that's the only real path to changing things once the highest court in the land starts chopping up human rights, because that's basically the period at the end of the sentence until something radical happens to force a change (like the Civil War and slavery, for instance) or a new court comes decades later.

Worse, the bad guys won and their opponents aren't willing to do what it takes (abolish the filibuster and stack the courts) to even fight them.

This isn't what's required to fight, we all know what's required but nobody is willing to say it

Voting is slacktivism. Expecting the government to fix itself because a few people in it were switched out is foolish. Nothing will be fixed until politicians are forced to bear the burden of accountability, and that will never come from law.

I only ask for the grace of your patience because we are insanely understaffed in general and lost around a half dozen active mods in the last months.

Also funny how they play the "us poor mods" card again when the whole problem is their policies. If you have zero tolerance for anyone voicing that they want to wait for all the facts etc. then you need to do that as well when it's about a male victim (or maybe it should be the moment to realize that instantly ban hammering people in these kinds of discussions isn't a great solution)

Either way, it's their fuck up

Weird, because in the original thread when they had the pitchforks ready to crucify Depp, any mentions of “Heard was abusive” were met with the ban hammer instantly. Yet here we sit THREE WEEKS into this current trial and suddenly “oh we are just so busy” is the lame ass excuse you trot out?

It’s exactly what this person said in that thread

Like I don't want to shittalk mods if I don't have to.

Like for real, they did good on jumping on that alt that was in here earlier.

But maybe it's because I'm pretty drunk rn, but seems like they haven't been doing due diligence here. I just feel like if the genders were reversed, this thread would be more of a graveyard than Cybertron after being razed by Megatron.
