This person's a fucking mess.   Calls a $2 game, "Malicious", "Predatory", "Evil", and digs into the past work history of the developer in the gambling industry as some indictment of that person's character.  Now they're artistically beneath them.  And now is crying about being attacked on Twitter because Asmongold streamed the video and criticized it completely impersonally and objectively.

This has to be such a massive hit to Elon's psyche; people are joking in here about him ending up dead by the end of this. But there's a non-zero chance of that happening. So, maybe reel in the humor on that scenario a little.

Multiple people over time, never told you, you had to find out accidentally, and you've had suspicions before. I think it's best you call it off, she works on herself through therapy, and you move on. Did you ever have a discussion about cheating before this? I did with my wife and that we would first talk about if we were falling out of love with each other or were being tempted, and if we went ahead and cheated, only one time could be worked on through couples therapy. I could never look at my partner again with the same level of trust or even love after that many instances and never being told.

When people pass away, it is common to say "rest in peace" as a platitude to wish their soul a good eternal rest. In a more agnostic sense, it's also just politeness and good form. However, you may have seen people use "rest in power" and may have wondered what the difference is. It's usually used for folks who fit one of three categories:

1.) An activist who has contributed greatly to Black, Indigenous, and LGBT civil rights causes.

2.) A person who died as a result of police or state brutality.

3.) A person whose work has otherwise contributed positively and notably to the cultural milieu and pride of Black, Indigenous, and LGBT people.

Merely being Black, Indigenous, or LGBT and passing away doesn't necessarily mean use of "rest in power" is appropriate upon a person's passing. Again, it's based upon the above criteria. Essentially, you had to have done some significant work to contribute to the betterment of those who currently suffer oppression.

By all means, mourn your childhood and media heroes when they pass. But do not step on the toes of activists and victims of brutality in the process.

Question for the mods. With sincerity, what's the word on having a World Cup OT on the forum? I assume it will be a nightmare of handling pop-up threads for World Cup events (both on and off the field) if there's not a main thread, so it makes sense to have an OT keep everything self-contained, but I think it would also be a mistake to allow for celebrating this World Cup on Era at the same time. If there's an OT for the World Cup, can we have it posted by you all so that we can have the correct messaging attached to it?

That bitch winning sucks, but the fact that she was pushed closed to the brick in a race she should have ran away with should scare the fuck out of her.

However, since she's a vapid, stupid idiot, all she'll probably do is scream like a banshee and probably shoot another neighbor's dog.

Can't wait until the day she's no longer in politics.

She has issued some clarifications:

I do wonder if it still applies since Conroy was gay. But sadly, we don't know if gave to charities.

As I said, merely being a minority and dying doesn't necessarily mean you've earned the moniker. You had to have been in the trenches of activist work, or again have done something that was so extremely positively impactful to the image and pride of minorities that you get a pass (that's why Chadwick Boseman got it and folks didn't trip out.)

Some people say this about fucking Queen Elizabeth.

An actual fucking insult to every non-white person on Earth.

But wouldn't just being a minority and living in a society permeated by white supremacy be enough? Can't Rest in Power also just be a wish that wherever they are (if you believe in an afterlife of some kind) is better than the life that they already lived - if that makes any sense.

Well no, because then we'd have to use it for right assholes who also just happened to be a minority. Like you think I'm about to give Clarence Thomas a "rest in power" when he dies just because he's Black? No. Fuck that nicca.

"Rest in power" is a recognition of a person's fight against oppressive power structures. If you didn't do that in life, you didn't earn it. There's no need to dilute it to mean every minority who will inevitably pass away.

So far there's only two straight white people who I'd use "Rest in Power" for: Tim Wise and Jane Elliot. If y'all ain't down like that you're not getting the accolades from me. I don't care who you voice act. xP

Also this:

I think a white person could receive it, but it's pretty rare because white people rarely do shit that actually matters and are often immune to being killed unjustly by the police en masse.

I forgot that Nephente role plays as The Queen of Black People.

If Nepenthe spent more time getting an education and working and less time posting on ResetERA and being a furry she probably would've paid of her Nissan by now.

“White people rarely do shit that actually matters”

Sorry to all the cracka nurses and doctors out there saving lives and dealing with being face to face with patients amidst a global pandemic the last two and a half years, Dakkon says what you do doesn’t matter.

God do so many people over there need an actual ass kicking. How out of touch can you be to say shit that fucking stupid?

You had to have been in the trenches of activist work

Nep's desperate attempt to portray herself as a radical, black power activist gets funnier every day. She was cowering in her apartment during the BLM protests.

When people pass away, it is common to say "rest in peace" as a platitude to wish their soul a good eternal rest. In a more agnostic sense, it's also just politeness and good form. However, you may have seen people use "rest in power" and may have wondered what the difference is. It's usually used for folks who fit one of three categories:

1.) An activist who has contributed greatly to Black, Indigenous, and LGBT civil rights causes.

2.) A person who died as a result of police or state brutality.

3.) A person whose work has otherwise contributed positively and notably to the cultural milieu and pride of Black, Indigenous, and LGBT people.

Merely being Black, Indigenous, or LGBT and passing away doesn't necessarily mean use of "rest in power" is appropriate upon a person's passing. Again, it's based upon the above criteria. Essentially, you had to have done some significant work to contribute to the betterment of those who currently suffer oppression.

By all means, mourn your childhood and media heroes when they pass. But do not step on the toes of activists and victims of brutality in the process.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I don't think there has ever been a better example of meritocracy being an absolute lie under a capitalist economy.
If you're still out there being peasant brained and defending billionaires I don't know what to tell you

Wait, what?

“Why do you believe you can change work hard and get rewarded, you piss poor mongrel.”

They believe in meritocracy then laugh at people who swear socialism is possible.

That dude just proved why I don’t think socialism is as easy as you guy claim.

My personal opinion is that Avalanche studio should donate some amount to any NPO that supports and protects transgender rights. That way they can make a statement that they do not condone Rowling's views.

Weird. Will Feige and Marvel Studios donate money after Panthers opening weekend?

We've known about the features you speak of for a while. The devs are (unfortunately) attached to a license that grows Rowling's brand. Good on the devs for pushing that feature, but fuck giving Rowling money and power IMO. There are a million stories out there - we don't need to celebrate the ones attached to a giant bigot. That's just me, though.

Meanwhile, this thread exists with zero mention of transphobia https://www.resetera.com/threads/black-panther-wakanda-forever-ot-chadwick-forever-open-spoilers.652557/

Nobody is getting punished because there won't be marketing and hype threads on a video game forum with merely thousands of users, for a game that will sell millions of copies regardless because it's attached to a massive entertainment brand. And developers don't get paid by the number of threads and views for their game either, they will be fine.

But if you really need to discuss this game on this forum and unless things have changed in the last couple of months, the game will get a barebones OT where people can talk about it when it comes out.

I thought Era was the bright, well known light in the video game community. Suddenly its just a random board no one knows about? It is, but you all sure love to think you’re more.

What JK Rowling does in terms of using her fame, platform and money to fund and platform transphobic ideas and people is very much about achieving a specific goal of killing trans people, both by emboldening the more violent bigots and by driving trans people to suicide. She is not just someone with "fucked up views". There's are trans people out there who are now dead, who would be alive were it not for her. She is a monster.

If she was actually responsible for any of this, she’d be in fucking jail, chief. Holy shit stop throwing around accusations of this nature without proof.

Digtal artists are like the radio in the 50's, AI art is like TV, its the future and you cant stop, but will not be the end of handmaid digital art

The future is garbage then

Right, only people with access to art education can make art, the rest of us are not worthy of such thing

User Banned (2 Weeks): Trolling, account in junior phase

I bet most of you live in first world western country and had the opportunity, time and support to make and study art, but most of the world don't, and AI art is the chance for a bunch of people to express creativity and ingenuity in a more accessible way, and I am not even saying a prompter is necessarily an artist

https://www.resetera.com/threads/deviantart-launches-ai-art-generator-makes-users-opt-in-automatically-unless-they-opt-out-all-their-work-up-da-backtracks.653409/page-3#post-96431502

Oh you're doubling down huh

I live in a third fucking world country, so you can go to hell with your assumptions.

You never need to study or a degree.

Art has always been accessible, unless you're lazy, or just want quick money.

God damn we always have these kinds of people who think all artists are rich people in these threads lol.

Right, come to people of my family, who lived until they were 10 in a farm without electricity, and tell they don't produce art because they are lazy, or to the 33 million people living with food insecurity in my country, tell them make art is accessible, just dont be lazy

https://www.resetera.com/threads/deviantart-launches-ai-art-generator-makes-users-opt-in-automatically-unless-they-opt-out-all-their-work-up-da-backtracks.653409/page-3#post-96431733

I live in a third world country with almost 100% yearly inflation. You can keep your assumptions to yourself. If you seriously believe artists are over privileged you don't know actual shit about that work path.

I am not saying that, I am saying poor people in poor countries have less oportunnities to become an artist, thats all, and I think AI art is an accessible form to all variety of people to express creativity

https://www.resetera.com/threads/deviantart-launches-ai-art-generator-makes-users-opt-in-automatically-unless-they-opt-out-all-their-work-up-da-backtracks.653409/page-3#post-96432006

I really don't get what is your point, of those 33 million there are plenty that may be artists themselves wherever as just a hobby or as a job

Agreed, but much more has a huge potential of creativity but can't express because they spent 8 hours of the day working and 3 in packed buses just to survive, or their cultural and family background was hostile to them making or learning art. AI art may be a form to express creativity and feel you can do something nice. But of course it wont replace artists and handmaid art, just wont, I think a handmaid art has more value than AI art
