Here's Ree being all well educated and knowledgeable -

A dangerous precedent to be setting. She should have been tried for her crimes in the UK as a citizen of this country and if found guilty, imprisoned here.

What's to stop other second and third generation ethnic minorities having their citizenships revoked for been considered 'undesirable' to the Home Office?

Protesting for LGBTQ+ rights? Undesirable.

Protesting for equity and equality? Undesirable.

Protesting for immediate climate policy change? Undesirable.

Protesting against institutionalised racism? Undesirable.

Protesting against police corruption and brutality? Undesirable.

So basically there's so many unwritten rules they need to take a some time off to write them?   

And they don't see the slightest issue with banning people for rules that haven't even been written down?

There’s an actual tankie in the wild in this thread. Complete with genuine Soviet-style whataboutism.

Bit off topic, but that interpretation would depend on what branch of Communism you subscibe to. I think Lenin's ideas were a wonderful thing, honestly. And I'd also would like to point out their particular form of imperialism really took off after Stalin was dead and buried. Khrushchev et al were the true disasters for the USSR, as they were dropping the very things that made them socialists one by one.

Stalin was the real disaster. He literally allied with Hitler. Seriously.

Stalin defeated Hitlter.

The non-aggression pact is an alliance now? Then the UK allied with Hitler too with the much maligned Appeasement Policy. I guarantee you won't see the Soviet leadership doing a Nazi salute like the British...

He literally supplied the Nazi war effort with raw materials and split Poland with them. Putting that on the same level as what the UK did is so deeply dishonest that I'm appalled anyone would say it.

You're right that the British were considerably more charitable with the Nazis: they let them have Czechoslovakia and Austria all for themselves. That was what Appeasement bough them and the world, a considerable more powerful Nazi Germany.

at the end of the day this wouldn't have happened if this were a white girl. she would have been brought back to the UK and potentially even tried as a child due to being a child when groomed. The only reason Shamima got her citizenship stripped is because she dare be a brown woman comitting the crime and the racist ass Tory party and voter base sees being brown and breaking the law as deserving of a more severe (and illegal intenrationally) punishment.

its digusting that the UK government jsut absolve them of this mess like this and push it onto other countries. Shamima is British she should be treated like one and face justice in the UK.

I find it consistent from her view. These videos are expertly crafted, with Hollywood productions, and with guys speaking fluent English, German and French, with the sole intention of luring Westerners into ISIS. That was the entire goal of ISIS recruitment. Do you know what they show before those beheading videos? They show dead babies, with an exclamation stating that the victim in their videos was responsible for that atrocity. Or sometimes they show dead bodies, and showing how West bombed them. It is a fucking insidious propaganda reel presented as an advertisement, and they show how ISIS is a place of justice and retribution for these crimes. An impressionable young teen from Britain gets sucked into it and buys the propaganda. A groomer works as an interlocutor and helps transition the person to ISIS (and in this case, working for Britain no less).

Now when she got to Syria she probably realized that it is not what was portrayed in those videos. Like, innocent people are being killed. So from her point of view, she did not know the truth. Is there a blame on her part? Sure. But not enough to lock her up or make her stateless.

Feels like the kind of thing the Kremlin would enjoy financing. A wedge op designed to further cleave the Black community from the American mainstream.

It’s also my belief that the spike in antisemitism seen amongst Black celebrities is intentional, and feels like an FSB wedge campaign. Just like Nationalism (aka isolationism) taking hold of the GOP thanks to the Russian-sponsored MAGA movement, Ice Cube, Nick Canon, Kanye and Kyrie Irving all became vocal anti-semites in a 3-4 years time span. All of them impressionable and filled with fact-free tripe. All of it conveniently designed to help the Black community further distrust government.

Admittedly, the government has done plenty to feed the distrust that Black people rightly feel. But conspiracy theories help amplify and inspire the worst in our society. It can turn a suburbanite into a terrorist. It creates violent and bizarre acts like January 6th. If you want to brake the United States, you feed the conspiracy theorists the ugliest conspiracies. If they’re highly visible, highly influential figures, even better.

When you see bizarre shit, consider where it might be coming from.

User Banned (1 Week): Boys Club Rhetoric

NO SPOILERS

So I'm playing The Last of Us Part II.

I held off on it all this time as I didn't want to play it during the worst of the pandemic due to obvious reasons.

Great game so far.

A fantastic evolution of the original's gameplay, expanded with a multitude of movement, stealth and combat options. Might be entirely a coincidence, but it feels like a post-MGSV game, in that the developers saw what a full-featured, "next-gen" stealth gameplay system looks like and decided to learn from its example. It's not 1:1 of course - the characters of TLOU aren't "the greatest soldier who ever lived" so it's a slower, rougher experience but it's fucking good, is the point.

But then a thought occured to me during one the game's numerous, brilliant "post-encounter comedown" periods. You know the ones: you've just spent 20 minutes methodically clearing out an enemy patrol. Or maybe it went horribly wrong and actually you just spent five desperate minutes fighting for survival (assuming you're not one of those goblinoid losers who reloads everytime they get spotted). But you can breathe again, free from danger, and the next step of gameplay emerges:

Rubbing Ellie's body against every wall, counter, collapsed bookcase, and generally any object the game's level designers saw fit to place there, keeping your eyes peeled for an empty circle to pop up indicating there's a gubbin to collect. And you have to do it both standing and crouching, as sometimes items are only collectable in either state.

In fact, if you've come across a safe during your exploration you know there's a piece of paper somewhere in the general vicinity - which could be as large a vicinity as an entire street block with multiple buildings - that will give you the combination for the safe, and so you might resort to rubbing Ellie's body against every surface multiple times as your frustratedly go, "Where is that damn memo?"

If I was the sort the record my gameplay and Tim Rogers-style analysed my gameplay time into distinct activity buckets, I am fairly confident the largest portion of my time in this game would be spent in this objectively bizarre surface-body rubbing loop.

And the thing is I don't hate this. The scavenging parts are like the "quiet highlights" of the experience for me. I won't remember them when I think back on the game in the future as the sweaty encounters and incredible storytelling will live large in my mind, but it must be stated that the hunt for gubbins is probably the single core experience.

But I had a moment of semi-clarity at one point where for whatever reason I momentarily stepped outside of my body and saw myself doing what I was doing: this scavenger, surface-rubbing routine. It as the same out-of-body experience I get whenever I find myself deep into a JRPG, grinding numbers to unlock a new thing that I can grind numbers with that's step one in the real grind that won't even get underway properly until the post-game.

In that moment, this thread's title was born.

I ask: as fun as this gameplay loop is, surely there's a better way to do this?

The other sins of TLOUp2:

• The specularity on in-game objects, Ellie's guns, etc. reach the exact same shade and brightness as the "this item can be interacted with" flash. Therefore, multiple times you will backtrack thinking you just saw an item to be collected when in fact you just caught the glint off a damp leaf or something.
• Un-telegraphed doors of no return. I'm trying to explore an area to find all the surfaces to rub Ellie's body over and I walk through a door that looks exactly the same as the other doors I'm planning to walk through next, except then the doorway collapses or a cutscene happens and there's no going back now. Also the autosave kicked in the moment you went over the threshold so you can't reload.
• Too many instances where the plot and characters have a "GOT TO MOVE MOVE MOVE NOW!" urgency while also still having multiple rooms/areas with multiple surfaces to rub Ellie's body across and find lots of valuable resources, lore documents and missable collecting cards. To play TLOU is often, regrettably, to actively un-immerse yourself and behave exactly as your protagonist wouldn't.

 

Great game though. I'm genuinely having a blast and am eagerly anticipating a higher-difficulty replay.

Also, I wonder if Naughty Dog ever considered adding a mode rougue-like mode to the game, randomly assembling areas in unique orders each time? The gameplay loop is crying out for that kind of endless post-game option. Probably really hard to achieve with the asset quality TLOU has though.

An actual good post?

To be fair to you and the many other people who have expressed similar reductionist arguments-- I get it. It's very appealing to adopt this world view. It makes things black and white, good and evil, and makes us feel we can make a difference.

Dismissing that everything actually is part of an existential struggle between good and evil.

A dangerous precedent to be setting. She should have been tried for her crimes in the UK as a citizen of this country and if found guilty, imprisoned here.

What's to stop other second and third generation ethnic minorities having their citizenships revoked for been considered 'undesirable' to the Home Office?

Protesting for LGBTQ+ rights? Undesirable.

Protesting for equity and equality? Undesirable.

Protesting for immediate climate policy change? Undesirable.

Protesting against institutionalised racism? Undesirable.

Protesting against police corruption and brutality? Undesirable.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Talk shit, get hit with a loss of citizenship.

Bit off topic, but that interpretation would depend on what branch of Communism you subscibe to. I think Lenin's ideas were a wonderful thing, honestly. And I'd also would like to point out their particular form of imperialism really took off after Stalin was dead and buried.

Just ask anyone in the Baltics, all of Eastern Europe really.

Feels like the kind of thing the Kremlin would enjoy financing. A wedge op designed to further cleave the Black community from the American mainstream.

When you see bizarre shit, consider where it might be coming from.

I don't really agree with all of that, especially when you look behind the veil and see the cliques that weaponise Discord to brigade threads and dogpile users on the forum whether it's gaming or any of the other boards.

It's so obvious when a user's post has been linked in particular Discords especially the "private" ones (community Discords aren't really the issue normally), and the same pattern of dogpiling, concern trolling or witch hunting, within very short timespans, often by same groups of users.

zeovgm/trans brigade put on notice.

It's true, happened during the sales controversy where Morricunt told people if you agree with mods while dogpiling someone they loathe they won't get a ban.

PoliEra discord had a channel to beg the mods for bans.

The Bore had a private discord where members could lobby a moderator to ban those they deemed "undesirable".

>he
>loves cooking and football

sorry, but a man can't like both. this is clearly a non-binary lego and they should have been labeled as such.

I love cooking and football.

Yay, now I'm non-binary. Please refer to me by my preferred pronouns of lord/saviour.

Pause

Okay I'm confused by both of those. Is the first one just because he said body rubbing (which in this case means literally rubbing the body over surfaces)?

And I don't even know what "Pause" is supposed to refer to

Nep Nep comment please

NepNep dun give a fuck about Latin as she has banned them even if they're brown skinned.

Well, Latinos insist on using their TERF adjacent gendered language instead of the trans overlord and white activist approved Latinx.

Basically, nepnep says, "Fuck dem spics!"

I find it consistent from her view. These videos are expertly crafted, with Hollywood productions, and with guys speaking fluent English, German and French, with the sole intention of luring Westerners into ISIS. That was the entire goal of ISIS recruitment. Do you know what they show before those beheading videos? They show dead babies, with an exclamation stating that the victim in their videos was responsible for that atrocity. Or sometimes they show dead bodies, and showing how West bombed them. It is a fucking insidious propaganda reel presented as an advertisement, and they show how ISIS is a place of justice and retribution for these crimes. An impressionable young teen from Britain gets sucked into it and buys the propaganda. A groomer works as an interlocutor and helps transition the person to ISIS (and in this case, working for Britain no less).

Now when she got to Syria she probably realized that it is not what was portrayed in those videos. Like, innocent people are being killed. So from her point of view, she did not know the truth. Is there a blame on her part? Sure. But not enough to lock her up or make her stateless.

He knows a lot about ISIS videos.

So what Rusty is saying is that Isis does the same thing he does anytime people talk about the atrocities committed by Isis?

Ree last week - They're 15. They knew what they were doing. Lock them up for life.

Ree this week - She's 15. She's a baby. She didn't know what she was doing. Shouldn't even be in jail

The Greens in this country simultaneously argue that the voting age should be lowered to 16 and that the age of criminal responsibility should be raised
