:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Commentary over a Series of Posts
Quote from: DirtySprite3
"You better move your car right now. If you don't want your ass kicked three days before Christmas you're gonna move your car right now. This car isn't driving away from here unless you give me this spot, do you understand?"

Wow you let him talk to you like he’s your damn daddy. OP do you lift weights? As a grown man I can’t fathom tolerating this level of disrespect. You might need to invest in a gun OP if you’re not prepared to use your hands.

How is that even dismissive? Claiming that the Brandenburger gate is only connected to the Nazis seems like the far more ignorant statement. I remember Fox news comparing Obama to Hitler because he held a speech at the Brandenburger gate, good to know that they're just as deranged on resetera.

I don't care if you think "words and deeds" is stupid or not, the point is that it clearly wasn't as serious as people like to interpret it as.

Two weeks for saying Japan is evil, but permed for saying that Kojima was joking with his "words and deeds" quote. :thinking

I was just wondering cause a stranger should never be that confident they can beat on you. I’m a passive person as well, but there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself. I mean at what level of disrespect would you be willing to do that? Would you have walked away if he spat in your face as well? Blocked your way into walking into the mall?

I never said you should’ve shot the guy, but if you live around people who are on that type of time then you need some protection.

What the fuck is going on?

Man, good for you OP for being reasonable. I’d escalate the shit out of that. Hopefully get him to throw hands so I could call the cops and let the world see what a deranged asshat they are over a parking spot. There’s no way a parking situation should ever result in attacking a car.

Plus I’m of the belief that there is a circle of hell for anyone that fucks with another persons car.

Ugh. Sorry you had to deal with that!

It's impressive how one group of people can reliably be against every single pro-social behavior known to man.  At the end of the day, it's not about the loss from the corporate stores.  Or fighting against the man, or the cops, or whatever.  It's about not wanting to live in a community where everyone just shrugs their shoulders and acquiesces to these anti-social behaviors and gets used to theft and lack of trust as a normal thing in their community.  It doesn't take much to understand this.  It's not about fucking Walmart.  The owners of Walmart aren't going feel anything from anyone stealing.

High theft leads to racist anti-theft measures and eventually leads to store closures in affected areas.

Are these people not aware that Cliff Curtis, one of the new actors in the sequel, is Maori and wanted to incorporate his culture into the movie? He talks about it in one of the behind the scenes videos.
https://www.skybound.com/the-walking-dead/the-walking-dead/the-many-faces-of-cliff-curtis


Excuse me.  Cliff Curtis is known to play mexicans, muslims, psychologists, and Jews.  He probably would play trans and gay people too.

I like the juxtaposition of ResetERA.com yet again. A sign of "disrespect" is reason to escalate to violence and also try to invite in the state's violence.

But a reasonable response to theft gets "fuck you, we should steal more and no one should be held accountable" when this is actually traditionally considered violence, thus against the law, and an actual legitimate reason to invite the state's violence historically. (I understand that damage to your property is also violence but I'm going to have to side-eye you for wanting to pull a gun or call the cops on somebody who you suspect keyed your car.)

I'm going to suggest that Walmart is probably not paying the wages of the people stealing from them. Nor was Walmart paying non-employee's wages back when people were apparently not stealing from them in large enough quantities to change policy.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
An actual economic argument you might try instead? Walmart is having their already slim profit margins squeezed from various factors (definitely not anything the government is doing though, the state is all beneficial and perfect, praise be the state) and this is an easy policy to change to hopefully reduce some costs whether or not there is a proliferation of organized theft rings or this is a just some media panic as you'd prefer.

B dumbs at it again.

You kinda left out some really important information there OP, namely that they got the image from a medical textbook. Presumably they have permission to use the image.

The OP

Quote
About two weeks ago, someone posted photographs of dead corpses that they said were taken from a medical forensic textbook, including one of a man who had his face burned off with a blowtorch by the Mafia. The images were posted on the r/eyeblech subreddit. Someone noticed in the comments that the picture of the charred body looked exactly like the Corpse01 model from Half-Life 2. People immediately started comparing the pictures to the game's artwork. Indeed, they have the same appearance. The only modification seems to be that Valve copied the corpse's right eye over to its left. But that's it. That model's whole face is a real dead, burned corpse.

Here's a video and tweet from Richter Overtime explaining the whole thing. He only shows the in-game texture but since it's now been revealed that it's an actual graphic image of a burnt face, I guess NSFW warning?

And not for nothing...it's probably my favorite sex scene ever in a show. The Queer representation, the Muslim representation, how it serves to further the story between the two characters, and also in how well it's shot -- and not just in a hornyjail.jpg sorta way...but also that.

Is this why hot guy threads are allowed? But to even suggest a female is mildly attractive is grounds for a ban?

I still cannot get the fuck over that Cameron quote.

I mean, basically, James Cameron's raison d'etre for creating Avatar was to portray his fantasy that if the Lokata Sioux had a charismatic white man to lead them, they would have fought harder against the genocide committed against them, and wouldn't still be treated as subhuman in the modern day.

I cannot.

Oh, so I guess it's okay to objectify anyone queer. Or Muslim. Or if it "furthers" the story. Or if it's shot well. Or it makes the viewer horny.

No, that sounds like a terrible book.

Oh, it is. And the stuff in my post is from the best part of the book (the last third is some ultra racist tabletop RPG for some reason).

So the person who idolized Elon Musk turned out to be really racist?

Bonus, the book comes from his time working with Bezos, not Musk:
Stephenson first began planning his novel around 2006, while he was working at Blue Origin.

Lol was talking with my dad and sister who are both like “Elon isn’t stupid” and I’m like HOHOHO oh man. Do I have a bridge to sell you lol.

“Well you have to have some level of intelligence to make so much money”

Sure sure.
Capitalism is a hell of a drug. It's a system that runs on the literal blood of the suppressed and disadvantages, and yet it is sold as a meritocracy to a privileged middle class who so thoroughly buys it that it clouds their judgement on anything or anybody that has lots of money. In some ways, Elon Musk is like a bug in the system.* He's a fucking idiot, and should never have gotten so much money and power. When you look close, he didn't fund any of the companies he's "known" to have funded, he didn't invent anything, and SpaceX and I'm sure Tesla too just learned to "manage" Musks idiocy and filter out his dumbass ideas. It's a giant house of cards that only works as long as we all just want to believe in the idea that capitalism just has to be fair and all those rich folks have to be intelligent, and amazing, and so on. It's hard to be optimistic when idiots like this are allowed to waste so much resources that could instead be given to people with actual talent and intelligence, but who don't happen to have a rich South African mine owner as a father.

* in other ways, one could say he's just a feature of its cruelty and unfairness.

How can I not find that meme of the fat nerd guy imagining what would happen on the bus if he talked to a girl or whatever? I want to put it underneath "yeah, I'd totally have been the richest man on the planet instead of an angry NEET incel gossiping on a 'video game' forum if I wasn't principled and had a rich dad!"

If he just says he, “Saw something.”

it’s pretty much the kiss of death (i.e captain marvel) lmao

He wouldn't say anything at all if he thought it was trash, rather than sharing promotional artwork of the film.

Like most people with taste, I'm sure he thought Captain Marvel was good.

I’ve told this anecdote before but I was at Three Thousand Years of Longing earlier this year and a full kids birthday party was there to watch it. Like ~10ish young girls, maybe 7 or 8-years old. They were all being relatively loud at the start but quieted down eventually.

About an hour into that movie there is an extended scene with gratuitous nudity and group sex that made me shy away from looking. I can only imagine those little girls were scarred for life.

Apparently prime rib is for dinner tomorrow night and in a group text to all the family that’s going (there’s like 10 of us), they’re asking for 10 bucks per person to participate in eating xmas dinner.

Isn’t this super tacky? Like, we got presents for y’all but now we have to spend more money to eat with you? Lol I don’t even want to go now.

Even if the cost to human society is immense? People “slowly killing themselves” through metabolic disease are costing nursing homes, healthcare facilities, hospitals, insurance and the pharmaceuticals industry BILLIONS. Decisions don’t exist in a vacuum, and neither do “personal health decisions.”

Any public health policy that doesn’t at least somewhat recognize that individualistic freedoms are ultimately not compatible with maximizing the protection of human health is a junk one.

Think of all the “individualistic freedoms” we protected by making the covid vaccine optional for existence in our society. We single-handedly let the virus defeat us because we weren’t brave enough to make it illegal to be unvaccinated.

Of all the people to write this shit  :kermit :lol

Same terms got me the same results, never would have thought "dreaming" was it, I tried some variations of what I thought the guy said but only the exact thing returns it, I believe this is the original: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/igriw/yeah_thats_why_i_dont_have_a_girlfriend/

Guess this never was a very big meme in the first place. :lol

Uhhhh, what?

I hope Nepenthe and Royalan and others are dragging his ass for saying Black people should be forcibly injected with things by the state (and possibly hit with other penalties for defiance) just because the state wants to.

This guy has made multiple threads about wanting to flee the anti-LGBT fascism of the United States and here he is talking about how he wants the state to eliminate all freedoms to tackle "public health costs" in society. :lol

Guy who has no concerns about the mental health costs of his behavior on his husband has some big ideas about how to deal with the "public health costs" throughout society.
