The best part about the 'community' is that literally no one on ResetEra seems to you know 'like' eachother.

They all seem to hate each other or backstab and ban bait others so they can move up a spot in the hierarchy or they want to kill themselves.

I suppose they have their community threads, but even they are pretty psychotic if they aren't loose ones about a real sport (ie their football and nba threads were a bit looser and more bantery than the rest of the board when i would read them years ago).

tbf the sicko lib media was trying to will a joker related mass shooting into existence too :trumps

it was one of the more transparent aand lame moral panics tbh. At least right wing loons believe that drag queens are going to cut your sons dick off, even if its complete nonsense and all a part of their stupid imagination, for example. The sicko lib media just wanted a joker shooting to have something to go mental about and ree and their ilk wanted it to justify their marvel dickriding.

Don't forget using music from that pedo singer, and then it turned out the pedo doesn't get any of the royalties. It was truly hilarious how they kept trying to find something problematic and the joker kept wriggling out  :society

Some of the era familiar faces are so fucking desperate to be neverwrongs their reality distortion field is on overdrive.

How are these fucks speaking like chris rocks been shit talking jada for years on end, and mentioning getting hit is some targetted harassment or some shit?

This is literally the first time he's fucking discussed getting hit in public. Unlike both the Smiths.

Their view on Chris Rock has already been set in stone. To them, he's a misogynistic chud that made fun of a "disabled" woman on live TV. They are gonna immediately jump on and believe the second and third hand impressions that reinforce that view without any critical thinking. That Chris Rock is an active stand-up comedienne makes it all the easier for them to hate him since their hatred of comediennes has been growing for years now.
They've turned on comedians because, back in the day, the comedians used to make fun of the conservatives because they were the ones doing the stupid shit that deserved to be lambasted. Now those comedians are turning their jokes on "the left" and they hate it because

I dream of a world where people understand the difference between punching up an punching down, a world where "ridiculing a political leader known to condone and perpetrate terrible things" isn't used as a direct comparison to "ridiculing and belittling a person's activism and physical condition"

She is a celebrity before being an activist, RE shits on celebrity activists all the time, but suddenly is not okay because she is somehow a saint.

So…

Sexting before sex yay or nay?
I fear I’ve made a mistake.

Long story.

I (41yrs) matched with a wonderful woman (37yrs) 40 days ago. We’ve had an absolutely amazing texting conversation going ever since. She is new to online dating so even though I asked for a date early on she wanted to wait a little bit first and continue texting. Okay, that’s fine. So a couple of weeks go by and we finally go on a date and it is great. The chemistry is electric. I don’t get a kiss at the end of it. Fuck! I think to myself… maybe it was all in my head. I get a quick text from her after arriving from home saying she had an amazing time and wants to see me again. Great! Maybe it wasn’t all in my head.

I get covid. Can’t see her for at least a week. But I find out she is also going on vacation. That whole week I’m improving but that next week she is going. So there was no chance of seeing her again and we didn’t want to risk her getting sick if we chanced it. Anyway that whole week we continue to text and even graduated to voice memos we send each other and then there was a lengthy phone conversation. All great. During that phone conversation she brought up the subject of sex and was probing with compatibility questions.. like how soon would we both feel comfortable, etc. It wasn’t an awkward conversation, and there was sexual tension.

She left to go on vacation. At this point we’ve been talking for a month. Lots of sexual innuendos and tension. But I was worried that being a week after the first date combined with however long she will be on vacation is going to put a real strain on things. Maybe it’s just me but I feel those first few weeks after meeting someone in real life is very important for establishing a relationship and getting more in real life time is essential.

So she’s been on vacation for 4 days at this point. And the conversation dropped like a rock. This has me worried but at the same time I realize she should be enjoying herself and not looking at the phone all the time. And she does check in every day so.. whatever. I’m not exactly happy but it is what it is. So on the 4th night out of the blue she texts me late at night. There is a three hour time zone difference here so it’s like 1am where she is at. And immediately it was obvious that she wanted to sext. At this point I’ve forgotten that she’s new to online dating. So it didn’t cross my mind that she has never sexted before. But it was plainly obvious that’s what she was doing.

I don’t really want to over-share here. So I jump into it and start typing out kissing her and building up and building up and getting more explicit as I go. She seems to be enjoying herself but I was obviously better at this than her and did most of the texting. When we were done, she thanked me, told me I was her first sext. Oh shit I thought. She thanks me again and says good night.

I haven’t heard from her since. It’s only been a couple of days. But I dunno. I feel like I’ve screwed up here. She has always at least checked in every day but she’s missed the last two since sexting.


TLDR:
- matched, went on date, no kiss
- got covid couldn’t see her, she went on vacation
- she texts me while on vacation and wants to sext
- she is MIA two days now

So I’m not really certain what I should do. Should I try reaching out to see what’s up? Should I try broaching the sexting topic to see how she is feeling? Or should I just sit on my hands. She could just be busy and having fun on vacation.
:insane
She absolutely met someone but didn't get anywhere, so she sexted the idiot to relieve the tension. Then she definitely got the D the next day.

Gotta love how Excel, in an attempt to shame Mr. Beast, instead shines a massive spotlight on the hypocrisy that is ResetEra LLC.

Let's see... a forum that started under the guise of "for the people, by the people", instead falls solely into the hands of an individual, who, in turn, grows the forum on the backs of, and thought the hard work of volunteers, who then turns around and sells it for a massive profit (millions of dollars) to an even bigger corporation, who makes a large sum of money from aggressive, intrusive, and invasive advertising (seriously, you ever go to that website without ad blockers? it's borderline unusable), or, from a monthly donation to the aforementioned corporation to remove said ads.

Their forum is littered with promotional material, much of which is, again, made by unpaid volunteers for the benefit of billion dollar corporations with ZERO appreciation, or recognition from the corporations they are volunteering for. And holding this all together, more unpaid volunteers, who constantly bemoan how difficult the job is, how unrewarding it can be at times (most times?) and for what? Building a sense of community? Guess what morons, you can do that without lining the pockets of millionaires and billion dollar corporations. But instead, they choose to be exactly what they are railing against, and without even a hint of self awareness.

 :delicious

Fucking idiots.
What makes this worse is that some of those very same idiots come into this thread, see their own stupidity laid bare like this, and carry on with their idiocy as if they are the smartest person in the room.

I first noticed their hatred for comedy when they started going against South Park for the PC Principle character. They never forgiven SP for that, and now even blames the show for the "bothside-ism" in politics. They unironically partly blame the show for Clinton losing to Trump to this day.

The slap happened to Chris. He has every right to talk about it. He has every right to not forgive WIll for it. I don't think anybody disputes that.

But if you don't want people to think you have some sort of petty and (at this point) weird grievance against Jada that's existed for years...well boy, you're really not helping that perception Chris. Especially as Jada still really hasn't talked about it publicly.

You are the only idiots defending her outside of Will Smith.

She gets the heat because she used her very public marriage problems to promote herself while her husband is in extreme denial. You think is normal that a celebrity so image conscious like Will Smith got angry for a joke about her wife in the middle of the Oscars?

Are you guys mad that Chris Rock is calling Jada’s activism shallow and self serving?

How the fuck was it not LITERALLY punching down?
Will Smith is physically bigger, stronger, richer, more famous, and has more hollywood clout than Chris Rock can dream of.

They hate Chris Rock because his jokes made Will Smith and Jada (who are both Tom Cruise loving covert Scientologists) behave exactly like all those conservative dickheads told you for years that black people will behave like if you let them...which upset their world view that all black people, particularly black women, are above reproach and should be put on a pedestal for all to worship rather than the non-racist view that black people are just normal people who have the same flaws as everyone else on this planet.

Good jokes, at least to me, require a consistent logic. If the logic breaks before you get to the punchline?

See, and this is why it helps to actually watch the fucking special as the joke Chris was making is how everyone thinks they're a victim nowadays, and how when everyone is a victim you got (figurative) emergency rooms filled with papercuts while no one helps the real victims.

The simple fact is Will Smith attacking Chris Rock is something they all fantasize about doing to comedians they dislike. They put it on the same level as a Nazi getting punched. Just look how they reacted when a KNIFE WIELDING ATTACKER literally tried to murder Dave Chapelle several months ago. They downplayed it. Dismissed it. And just continued their hatred of Chapelle the next day like the attack never happened.

You guys are "just asking questions" in clear bad faith when it's obvious that Chris Rock thinks every single person who goes to the hospital does so with paper cuts. But this isn't true, I bet there's not a single person at any hospital who is there because of paper cuts. If Chris Rock wants to make that claim he needs to provide evidence and he doesn't. The logic breaks down completely. He's just angry and attacking victims of severe medical problems yet again. He could be making hours long YouTube videos about Black boys, but instead he works with Netflix to platform hate. This is who he is, this is why Black people have always felt something was off about Chris Rock. Just look at how Michael Scott tried to use his routine and every Black body was side-eyeing immediately because they knew this is exactly what Chris Rock wanted and who he was writing for.

To the point that I half-suspect a small handful of them must have been genuinely disappointed no-one actually died over it.

It was all bullshit. Some too online types convinced themselves it was going to somehow create some kind of mass incel revolution, and then went around insisting it was factual and actually a thing. Then it came out and shock, it didn't exist. It was just a movie.
In fact it seemed to me numerous times that said types wanted it to happen so they could say I told you so.

To be fair, I thought the twenty minute diatribe where Chris Rock said he wanted all the "bald little taco" children with cancer to be thrown into the street so they can "get what they deserve" was a bit much, but a lot of these Netflix comedy specials are like lectures about misery these days. It's the future of comedy all the experts told me. Telling jokes is so pre-Trump.

Not going to dig it up but let's also remember that absolute lunatic Vonocourt later tried to insist this was real and as evidence for this being a real concern pointed to people freaking out about it and the shooting at The Dark Knight Rises showing. Then went on to argue that it's rational to believe there's some kind of intrinsic connection between Batman-related movies that causes waves of mass shootings because of the existence of a single event that happened at a showing of a Batman movie.

The media repeating the Aurora shooter dressed up as joker, even though he routinely denied it and didn't look a fucking thing like the Joker, and the joker not even in that movie that was playing lead to one logical conclusion...Jokers, which are famous for not having sex, will be the mascot of the incel revolution.  Mark my words.

Next you guys are going to spread the lie that incelsiorlef posted threads for years about the "incel threat" and how nobody is doing anything to stop it from murdering everyone.

I bet if I looked at your YouTube histories I'd see chuds like RLM talking about Captain Marvel and The Last Jedi.

Quote from: Nepenthe
It's not about the Joker merely being a white male terrorist of a villain. You can have outright Nazis in films without people complaining, such as in last year's Overlord. No one cared about Overlord's depiction of Nazis. Because they were getting punched.

Which is the point of contention: the film reportedly doesn't weigh one way or another on Joker's mental descent and subsequent transformation, resting within that apolitical realm that only serves to give cover to political status quos, the same apolitical realm that deluded nerds yearn for whenever a minority says something about pretty much any issue they have with any given work. This further plays into a larger conversation about how stochastic terrorism works- how small quips, singular works, and incidental mindsets coalesce into an environment where harmful status quos are reinforced and make it easier for crazy people to perform crazy acts in real life, regardless of how small or irrelevant any individual instance was. That is the real issue and what should be discussed.  Not whether or not Joker will directly Mind Flay someone into picking up a gun- because that's fucking stupid- but what it adds to or takes away from our current hotbed environment of increased hate crimes, white nationalist sentiments, and far right political coups.

Subsequently, the declarations abound on this forum that dismissing the film- even on a basic level of "will this entertain me?"- as the exact same kind of fear-mongering that the right-wing does by literally saying that video games are directly responsible in the Mind Flay sort of way for mass shootings despite no studies supporting the long-term effects of video game exposure on a person's aggression and empathy for others, is utterly preposterous.

So right now, we don't have to wonder whether or not this film will give credence to the alt-right's dismissal of minority viewpoints. Y'all are pretty much doing the work for them.

So, like...

The slap happened to Chris. He has every right to talk about it. He has every right to not forgive WIll for it. I don't think anybody disputes that.

But if you don't want people to think you have some sort of petty and (at this point) weird grievance against Jada that's existed for years...well boy, you're really not helping that perception Chris. Especially as Jada still really hasn't talked about it publicly.

You are the only idiots defending her outside of Will Smith.

She gets the heat because she used her very public marriage problems to promote herself while her husband is in extreme denial. You think is normal that a celebrity so image conscious like Will Smith got angry for a joke about her wife in the middle of the Oscars?

Are you guys mad that Chris Rock is calling Jada’s activism shallow and self serving?

Why is this fat tub of goo posting like he's in Jada Pinkett Smith's close circle of friends :girlaff

Given the allure of physically dominant people, I’m not entirely surprised to see so many Smith apologists, but it is disturbing nonetheless. I hope everyone involved forgives and grows, but Chris has every right to be angry that he was assaulted and respond how he chooses.
Even if it includes attacking Jada, who had absolutely nothing to do with what Will did?

excelsiorlef pointed this out to you but you're only replying to WetWaffle.

Quote from: Gum
Yes, in my opinion, regardless of the fact that Chris compared Jada to G.I. Jane because of her buzz cut, his assault was not justified. Frankly, I’m not interested in engaging further on a topic where lines have been so rigidly defined that I will be perceived as an enemy for speaking my opinion.

Yes, in my opinion
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting you to literally say it's okay to attack a woman for the actions of her husband.

But here we are.

Also, I said absolutely nothing about whether or not the assault was justified. That is not relevant to the things Rock has said about Jada post-slap.

To again use a Cultural Revolution reference, there's this hilarious cognitive dissonance on ResetERA.com that's the same as the self-criticism used in the CCP. You'd have these guys, even up to the Politboro, giving these hour long speeches about how they were part of a sinister plot to overthrow the revolution and restore capitalism and then the response would be "okay, you're good" and they were restored to power often. Nepenthe posts constantly about how much capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy is being furthered by posters on the forum and then she, an administrator, basically does nothing but yell at them about it. Even the bans, signed off by at least three members of the staff, aren't against people for doing this but only for talking back directly to her.

She posts all this shit about divesting and needing to reject the systems and the importance of seizing power and how apologies aren't enough only legitimate deliberate successful permanent actions, but in instances where she actually has power like as an administrator or by what avatar she "reps", all the sudden all her language switches over to how she's utterly powerless to do anything and she's so tired and overworked and there's not enough staff members and you're just perpetuating the systems.

Revisiting this to see if B-Dubs has continued to ignore people who pointed out he didn't know what he was talking about.

But first:
Quote
Fox News dying is literally the only chance this country has to avoid collapse, so my fingers are crossed.
Quote
All is not about money, like imagine if Fox News, after this trial is forced to put disclaimers on most of it's segments that the following content might not be true and that it doesn't represent reality and is just entertainment.

Every braindead chudder would go "FOX NEWS has gone woke brutherrrr!!! " and they would either just change the channel or would rather do something else.

I think there's a reason CNN has been leaning more to the right, corporations want a safer place to spread their propaganda.
Fox News could not be forced to put any of these disclaimers on anything, this is not the law at all. Also funny is how MSNBC (Comcast total assets: $275.3 billion) apparently is not a home for any corporate propaganda. (Fox Corporation: $22.93 billion; Warner Bros. Discovery: $134.00 billion)

B-Dubs gets called out directly:
Quote
Why is OP being so antagonistic?

Also it's humorous that OP acts like no one knows what they're talking about, then thinks that a $2B lawsuit (which is far from settled) would somehow "end" Fox News. Ridiculous levels of hyperbole and copium. And to be clear: Fuck Fox News
Quote
One issue I have is believing a few billion could "bankrupt" Fox News. Another is people thinking Fox News going away would mean the country would be saved and all the crazy people would go away.

Finally, the man replies. Once:
Quote from: B-Dubs
Quote from: RustyNails
Unlike Alex Jones, FNC actually has money to throw around and they can withstand any settlement. Their net income is more than a billion per year.

Highly doubtful. They will still tune in to tucker. The disclaimer will not mean anything to them. Average chudder hates reading anyway
So, what everyone here doesn't realize is that smartmatic is also suing Fox News for even more money. It's not just dominion, they just have the case that's furthest along at the moment. We're talking multiple multi-billion dollar cases. These two add up to 4.3 billion. If dominion wins, that opens the door for further judgements against Fox for these claims. (Which opens the door for even further lawsuits) It's not stopping with this specific lawsuit. This is just the opening salvo. And if they don't actively change how they do business, it'll keep happening.
This literally is not how the law works. And I don't mean in the specific instance of defamation or even First Amendment law more broadly. I mean law period.

And some other idiot quotes him and says the secret word while admitting they have absolutely no idea how anything works at all:
Quote
It’d be interesting if similar cases pop up because of discovery about other stories, not just the stolen election narrative.
