User Banned (3 Days): Insensitive commentary towards a victim of a mass shooting

Employee Briana Tyler said the overnight stocking team of about 15 or 20 people had just gotten together in the break room to go over the morning plan. As soon as the team was set to start, she said she looked up, and her manager turned around and opened fire on the staff.
"It is by the grace of God that a bullet missed me," Tyler said. "I saw the smoke leaving the gun, and I literally watched bodies drop. It was crazy."

How fortunate for you that 'God' apparently had just enough grace for you, but not the victims. Fucking hell.

As background I've had a lifelong friend since elementary school and I'm 48. We've been close and he's been supportive of and everything I've been through and I've always felt like a brother. He was the best man at my wedding 20+ years ago and we've talked/texted almost every day. He's always been a fiscal conservative but socially liberal overall.

48 -

Then at some point he mentioned "woke" and how it was a negative thing. This was my final straw. I asked what does mean and give an example of if he got into about people getting cancelled. I pushed him for examples.of woke being used outside of hard right wing bullshit. He of course had no answer but kept bringing it up. Finally I said that I think the divide was too great and that I think our friendship was over. I cried and am not sure what I will do but I had hot a point where I couldn't brush it off.

It's the weekend, I have a bottle of Rosé downed, and I'm giving away Pokemon starters while listening to good music. The stresses of life have melted away and all I want to do is envelop myself in this moment.

This forum, for any of its faults, is full of really cool people and I love this small encapsulated moment in time we're all together, posting. Y'all have helped me through tough moments, stresses and the like... often without even knowing it. Here's to you then, I hope you're doing well. If you're not though, I genuinely hope something breaks in your favour soon. Just know that whatever is going on with you, you have value. It doesn't matter what you're throwing against yourself, you're still worthy of this world.

Been awhile since I've done a weekend thread, so here's to you. The wonderful forum poster I share this space with 🥂

As it is the case with anything in america, the reasons are either "systemic racism" or "capitalist corruption" and in this case it's more so the latter - the tax preparation industry lobbies congress to keep filing your taxes cryptic and annoying so you pay those companies to do it for you. And of course this hurts poor people more disproportionately, so back to racism.

My wife says it's set unrealistic expectations from day one and she doesn't really have a choice. She doesn't like doing it but she has to for work, events, or other societal purposes. It's an interesting discussion about whether someone can experience autonomy about this without any societal expectations, and that would be an ideal world where choices were possible from the start rather than coercion. I would compliment her when she does use it but I've never cared whether she does or not, which she appreciates. She feels pretty whether or not she does it, so it's not for that reason for her. It can be for other reasons for others, like mastering a skill, etc.

I like doing my skincare routine of cleanser, toner, exfoliater, moisturiser but that's for practical and health reasons. If I look pretty from that, it's a nice byproduct that validates my choices. So it's a different context.

As a guy, my "beauty routine" involves combing my hair at best. For women, it potentially involves expensive makeup, lipstick, and other options, and there seems to be some level of societal pressure to use that stuff. I recently read an article about how some managers might passive aggressively tell women to wear more makeup because they look "tired" or "upset" if they skip a day.

With all the various pressures to use makeup (and the cost of beauty products), do women generally feel any sort of resentment about it?

It personally rubs me the wrong way that women are pressured to use makeup to "look pretty" as a double standard when men don't have to try nearly as hard.

I've never worn makeup, too expensive and time consuming and I see no point in it. My husband loves me the way I am, if I need makeup to impress someonne they are not meant to be my partner/friend/boss/whoever they are to me.

I don’t like your opinion so I’m gonna casually insinuate you’re an alt right bigot of some sort. Whew

The toxically hyperbolic hate that She-Hulk often receives is drastically increased for very specific reasons. Calling it "fucking garbage and I wasted time of my life on that" fits very much in line with the over-the-top rhetoric in those videos.

As Fat4all pointed out above, a single screen cap from the show turns the thread into Reddit.

You called everyone a bigot based on nothing other than their appreciation, or lack thereof, for She Hulk.

No, it's the over-the-top toxicity that makes me think of those videos. "I didn't like She-Hulk" is a normal comment. "Fucking garbage and I wasted hours of my life" is not.

Comments like that when it comes to any film or series in which the actors get targeted and harassed by the alt-right (which happend with She-Hulk) will always raise an eyebrow.

I think Disney has successfully implanted the "I'll wait for Disney+" mentality even into a huge chunk of MCU watchers.

That feels like a reach. I mean, Wakanda Forever is doing very well. There are pretty clear reasons for the drop: World Cup as entertainment competition and Disney's animated release being terribly marketed and receiving average reviews -- as opposed to their release last Thanksgiving, Encanto, which more than doubled Strange World's 5-day haul.

Yes. Women feel naked without makeup (at least eye-liner). Plus they love to doll up, they've been doing it since the times of ancient Egyptians.

The reason I say that. The original game is an arthouse psychological horror story about manifestations of the human psyche with actual depth, abstract storytelling, and creative expression. Even minor environment details had symbolic significance. A remake isn't automatically a good idea just because it's a video game, and I don't need to lick a stove to know not to do it.

Here we have a mediocre developer known for derivative trendy games with clumsy execution remaking it from the ground up without the original creators (except Masahiro Ito, who's only providing concept art, has the same concerns as fans, and was against a remake to begin with) with redesigned levels, puzzles, art direction, Resident Evil 2's exact style of camera (bad idea for this particular game), and even story changes and several new endings (seriously, Bloober?). We can also see in the trailer that they messed a bunch of stuff up.

"Pale imitation" and receiving a divisive response (similar to The Twin Snakes) is pretty much the best case scenario for that game.

Emma Corrin: The Crown star calls for gender neutral awards

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63741519

Debate about gender-free categories is gathering steam, with the music industry leading the way. The Grammys went gender-neutral in 2012, while the Brit Awards merged their male and female solo categories into an artist of the year category this year.

Chart-topper Adele went home with the first trophy. However, in her acceptance speech, she said: "I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do. I'm really proud of us."

this is being proposed now because in a free-for-all it'll forever be misogynist to give awards to men over women

if there are still male awards that means room for men to continue receiving accolades, which is intolerable

Oh, one of the leads is gay so actually it's all about culture war, got it

I literally go to Disney World like once a week and I had no idea this was coming out until a few days ago. There’s been NOTHING about this movie marketing wise.

You do what now?

Go to Disney World once a week. It’s like a 15 minute drive for me and I typically go and just get a snack, maybe ride a ride or two and just walk around and enjoy the ambiance.

They will blame the Black community for the box office bombing.

I bet Wu didn't even see the movie this weekend. People like her get more enjoyment seeing conservatives seethe online than actually supporting the stuff they claim to want more of.

Not a single word about the quality of the movie. Culture war in a nutshell. The conservatives are now of course all "go woke, go broke"

Meanwhile Disney simply made a shitty ass movie

Quality?

You mean gate keeping

48 -

As background I've had a lifelong friend since elementary school and I'm 48. We've been close and he's been supportive of and everything I've been through and I've always felt like a brother. He was the best man at my wedding 20+ years ago and we've talked/texted almost every day. He's always been a fiscal conservative but socially liberal overall.

48 -

Then at some point he mentioned "woke" and how it was a negative thing. This was my final straw. I asked what does mean and give an example of if he got into about people getting cancelled. I pushed him for examples.of woke being used outside of hard right wing bullshit. He of course had no answer but kept bringing it up. Finally I said that I think the divide was too great and that I think our friendship was over. I cried and am not sure what I will do but I had hot a point where I couldn't brush it off.

So this 48 year old dude ended a 20+ year friendship because they didn't know whatever nonsense this guy was on about and was using a colloquialism.

Which ironically will have given the guy an example to use in the future of the time his friend cancelled him for using woke in a way they both understood but his friend got angry enough about to end their friendship.

Make new words, phrases, and acronyms constant and then get offended when regular people either can't keep up or stopped bothering to try.

They aren't really offended, this is the point to screen out people who aren't devoted enough to the cause. Gatekeeping. Although they probably are offended that other people aren't as devoted as they are they might actually like it so they can look down on them.

When will they finally call out Zeo's endless shilling of everything MCU? It's so fucking sleazy to accuse people of being alt right because they didn't like a show that shit the bed hard

You're only saying that because you watched a bunch of alt-right YouTube which lied to you when it was actually amazing as proven most of all by the chuds who are losing their minds over it.

I saw some videos pop up about streamers paying their mods money and it confused me a bit about what a Mod is today.

I was a mod for a video game website back in the 2000s when I was in high school and as far as I can tell most of the mods were young. There were probably around 100 of them and I think only the ones that actually performed website maintenance or website related duties (actual job but were also a mod on the side) got paid. I can't speak for what happened on other message/forum boards, but it felt like they were pretty much the same except for the name of the website. As far as I know all the "mod" responsibilities at the time involved handing out user warnings, various ban types depending on the kind of infraction, and ban appeals.

I never thought to update my idea of what a "mod" is because I just assumed that carried on to the new fan/enthusiast platforms like Twitch, Discord, and Reddit that needed moderation. Are the mods today different from the mods of the 2000s? How are they different? From everything I read it feels like it's more personal and drama filled compared to how it was in my experience.

I was sat wondering what AFAB meant. I thought that with ree being full of raging incels it probably meant All Females Are Bastards.

AFAB person here,...

FYI: if you say AFAB any trans woman who sees your post is going to think you’re transphobic. There’s no reason to separate yourself out from trans women like that.

Try posting the inverse the next time a poster says "as a trans woman..." or whatever.

that person they said that to actually apologized for the way they referred to themself. I dont support trans stuff or all the weird pronoun stuff but its pretty low to make someone feel bad about it enough to apologize especially on a supposedly 'progressive' forum.

It's all the weaponization of other people's politeness to oppress them with. Actually transphobic people or people who are naturally defiant aren't going to give a shit, it's only the allies trying to do what's right who are cowed by any of this. Joanne is on board with all of that but she resisted access to women's spaces and she might as well not even try to respect any of it considering she now invented the concept of genocide except she's trying to be polite and good, something which only protects the people acting in bad faith on any side of the issues.

The alternative is allowing that good people can be ignorant or make mistakes and that's definitely not something that's allowed, that's how the rabid fascists always try to trick you!
