"milf" being a widely acceptable term to use even in leftist and/or queer spaces that try to respect women is weird to me. Like, maybe I'm putting too much stock into its literal meaning, but I'm not a fan.

Yeah I agree.  It's still a form of sexualization.  I guess you can argue it's been claimed or reclaimed or something, but it's still uncomfortable.

I love how they have this ongoing movement against hypothetical threads/abstract debates because someone somewhere might potentially get offended that people are discussing ideas rather than people.

Outrage over a fake story on reee? No way

"What they didn’t expect, however, was for what they thought would be a silly video to blow up into impassioned discourse on dating expectations. Diamant said all the attention has been a bit overwhelming, especially after reading comments calling her “crazy” or claiming she’ll “die alone.” She tries not to watch the stitches to her video."

The fact that this apparently generated heated discussion is truly nuts

Still, she said, she aims to view the situation through a facetious lens.

“He thinks it’s funny as well. And we’ve only had one date, so he’s not obliged to me in any way, but he’s checking in to see that I’m fine,” she said. “And I try to not take it personally, because it didn’t really happen.”

In the days following Diamant’s TikTok, one creator who implied that he had been Diamant’s date that night received 7 million views on his video, surpassing even the original. He wrote in a comment that he dodged “Not a bullet, a nuclear strike."

Diamant, who confirmed this creator was not her date, said it’s amusing to see how easily people believe false stories online. She said this willingness to embrace assumptions, combined with many viewers’ strong interest in stories about dating, makes it easy for discourse on controversies like this to grow more and more sensational.

“It seems like people who had an opinion against me get the affirmation that they are right, so they kept on the conversation and commented on even the videos [on my page] that have no relation whatsoever to the story,” she said. “If I wasn’t a person with enough self-assurance, some of these comments can really drive someone to do crazy things. So I hope people will find something better to do than comment bad things on somebody’s videos and pictures.”

I imagine real women would be incredibly insulted by ree’s depiction of them. From the bearded hags tottering about in their mum’s lippy. To the eternal prudes constantly horrified by the merest hint of sexuality. Let’s not forget Morrigan. Christ knows what real women would make of that disaster

The joke is that it's obvious but these morons pretend it must not be because "she hasn't said she is" since one of the cult's tenets is that you (not even if you're a doctor) can't tell from looking at someone.

She ran twice, in 2020 she dropped out early supposedly because of COVID. I think Wu legitimately thought she could beat a sitting high ranking Congressman while not campaigning at all just because of Gamergate and tweeting stupid things.

Then she combined her meager left over campaign funds with the millions of funds Cenk Uygur had from his failed bid for Congress to start a Super PAC that has spent a bunch of money on useless Facebook ads and has never supported a winning candidate. Most famously Wu announced they were giving the "MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DONATION" and putting all their efforts behind Nina Turner and the socialist Democrat who nabbed the parties nomination for Mayor of Buffalo. Both got destroyed, Turner did far worse than she had a year earlier and the latter lost to a write-in campaign.

Wu claims to be writing a Gamergate TV series with "one of the biggest production companies" in the business and a weekly tech column for "one of the most famous tech outlets" but neither have been mentioned since the announcements a year plus ago.

The more you know. On a somewhat related note I told my new neighbour my partner is trans. Aye. Surgery is amazing these days eh. You’d never be able to tell unless she’s standing under a direct light. It’s the jawline eh. They said they could shave it but she didn’t want to go through more surgery. The looks of admiration i got. Lol.

No they haven’t. Ree pride themselves on being progressive but their reaction to poverty tells us they’re just as conservative and reactionary as the people they claim to hate. Look at any thread about homelessness and you’ll see countless posts from the “progressives” warning others not to give homeless people money. Ree are disgusting hypocrites.

Quote from: RustyNails
Sorry but this is wrong. Republicans were always garbage. They were garbage then, and they're garbage now. Trump didn't change anything other than making it ok to bring Republican Talking Points out in the open - Mexicans are rapists, Muslims are terrorists, Black history is false, Black people are criminals, Trans/LGBT community is grooming children, etc. Once Trump opened the door, you had regular GOP fully backing up those points to a T.

You bring up W, the warcriminal that should be rotting in prison as 'good 'ole dubya'. This is the architect of one million dead Muslims - destabilization of an entire region and creator of Stasi Surveillance Regime of Muslims in America (which Obama and others subesquently renewed by the way so don't tell me Democrats are friends here). So, what, he pretended to care about Muslims by visiting a mosque in USA, while dropping White Phosphorous on our brothers and sisters in Fallujah? Don't tell me he did this for Muslims or cared about them - he did this shit for liberal politics in particular because he would rather do what FDR did with the Japanese Americans in US. And if FDR didn't get shit for what he did, I would have been in an internment camp as well during the mid '00s. The fact that Muslim Americans did get scooped up by the surveillance regime is another story but no, W did nothing he wasn't forced to do so out of liberal politics and optics.

The issue is that W's enemies were not Muslims, ostensibly. He didn't invade Iraq to kill Muslims so any further attack on Islamic nations was not needed. Even a dumbshit like W will realize that any sort of attack on Mecca will straight up lead to apocalypse. That was just the racist rabid dogs in the media barking. It was to change regime in Iraq based on lies and deceit, and grant billions of dollars in Oil contracts to his friends, grease the palms of defense contractors and give neocons in Washington their wish to see things go boom on evening news.

In my experience, we outright saw the deceit of Bush in our communities. We did not trust him at all. Him visiting mosque incensed the population further, and Sh Hamza Yusuf got lot of shit for standing with W - which he later regretted doing so. George Bush was enemy #1 of Muslims within America.

Of course you will find idiots that supported him, just like Blacks For Trump, etc. But it was no way a predominant view.
Quote from: RustyNails
To people hit with Federal Government's policies - mostly poor, communities of color, Muslims, LGBTQ, etc - Republicans were always extreme. The Federal Government was always extreme. That is my point. The veneer of respectability never existed for us, and we saw through the shit.

White America never had to grapple with the consequences of their government's actions. We have been brutalized, raped, tortured and executed over the past 400 years to no avail. No reparations or acknowledgement. Instead of White America realizing they fucked up and ignored our voices, they shift the topic to how "GOP became more extreme!" because the blowback is now impacting their nice suburban schools or because kids nowadays can organize on TikTok and Twitter.
Damn American government holding down Muslims since 1623. I'm glad White America is finally facing blowback! (The concept of which is a racist myth btw)

But also:

But FDR didn't get shit for what he did... so why didn't RustyNails end up in an internment camp? Unless he thinks heart failure for a guy in terrible health was Allah's vengeance and W. feared this too?

Like if they committed crimes, I hope they are held accountable and goes to jail or whatever. If they didn't and its just mental health issues, I hope they get help. I think justice shouldn't be only punitive, people need to be given the room to reform.

Can't wait until Ezra goes back to using he/him pronouns. Will happen once the attention dies down and the pathological need to seek more attention kicks in.

Really don't want to support Jim's Ryan but I'll prob swap pre-order platforms. Plus, if I ever get the VR2, that's value.

:notlikethis

$550+ for RE4 Remake sure is a value!

Weekend Era warning - this is just MY opinion!

How I judge a game: first and foremost, GAMEPLAY is king, story comes second. Example: gameplay rocks but the story is dumb as hell, I skip cutscenes sometimes but still love the game (like FF7 Remake or Bayonetta). Opposite holds true, if the gameplay is bad but the story is awesome, I'll probably try but usually skip the game.

For Kojima, MGS2 left a sour taste in my mouth. It was insane and weird but it didn't offend my story senses like MGS3. I was excited to play the next chapter, got the game on release.

Start the game and LITERALLY seconds after Snake lands in a tree (I think, I forget the details), we get expository dialogue vomit and the rush of playing a new game is gone. You sit there for 10 minutes in a Codec call and learn about some life or history lesson or something. It gets worse as the game goes on.

I knew then Kojima only surrounded himself with "yes" men/women and had no idea how to put exposition into dialogue so he didn't do it, he just had the characters puke up paragraphs of history or life lessons. It probably made him feel smarter? The dialogue in the finale with Big Boss was grueling.

MG4, some neat cutscenes in a game featuring some really sexist shit hidden by mountains of exposition. Like 3 hours of actual gameplay.

MGS5, probably the BEST gameplay of the series and my favorite MGS (minus the character of Quiet, what a joke) because I think by the end, he was more hands off. It benefited the game.

Death Stranding...literally jugs of exposition with almost no dialogue. One of the most unbearable games I've ever played. Gameplay was interesting but hardly there in comparison to the amount of exposition that came out of every single characters mouth. Almost non-stop.

Please be gentle Era, I just had to get this out of my system.

You're probably going to get a lot of pushback on this, but...I kind of agree. Kojima was at his best when he had limits to what he was allowed to do. He's been a shadow of his former creative self in recent years who seems more obsessed with Hollywood and Hollywood actors than ever, and I don't think cramming as many names into his games as he possibly can makes them better games.

Nazis finally have an opening into the mainstream thanks to transphobia. They won't go away and stop associating with you just because you think you're one of the "good transphobes" (there is no such thing).

The only way to distance from them is to take a hard look at your own hate and realize you're the one who is the problem and should stop being a transphobe.

Edit: But in the end you won't, in the end you'll be marching in a black shirt too, throwing one Hitler Salutes after another, because introspection and accepting mistakes is lost amongst the majority of people these days. Just like after WWI when the Germans couldn't accept that they lost the war and why they did so. Instead they rather sacrificed the lives of millions once more than to see their own shortcomings.
This is the absolute bottom of human civilistation and we're about to reach it again.

Amazing edit.

The term 'Nazi' has really seen as much inflation as the economy.

Elon Musk? Nazi
The Dutch farmers party? Nazi's
J.K. Rowling? Nazi
People that don't take COVID vaccines? Nazi's
MAGA? Nazi's
People that eat steak? Nazi's
Ron DeeSantees? Nazi
Japanese Prime Minister? Nazi
Russian President? Nazi
Former Israeli President.... Nazi

At least the other side still has a bunch of different terms like Globalists, Deep State, Marxists, Communists etc. .

Sorry but this is wrong. Republicans were always garbage. They were garbage then, and they're garbage now. Trump didn't change anything other than making it ok to bring Republican Talking Points out in the open - Mexicans are rapists, Muslims are terrorists, Black history is false, Black people are criminals, Trans/LGBT community is grooming children, etc. Once Trump opened the door, you had regular GOP fully backing up those points to a T.

You bring up W, the warcriminal that should be rotting in prison as 'good 'ole dubya'. This is the architect of one million dead Muslims - destabilization of an entire region and creator of Stasi Surveillance Regime of Muslims in America (which Obama and others subesquently renewed by the way so don't tell me Democrats are friends here). So, what, he pretended to care about Muslims by visiting a mosque in USA, while dropping White Phosphorous on our brothers and sisters in Fallujah? Don't tell me he did this for Muslims or cared about them - he did this shit for liberal politics in particular because he would rather do what FDR did with the Japanese Americans in US. And if FDR didn't get shit for what he did, I would have been in an internment camp as well during the mid '00s. The fact that Muslim Americans did get scooped up by the surveillance regime is another story but no, W did nothing he wasn't forced to do so out of liberal politics and optics.

The issue is that W's enemies were not Muslims, ostensibly. He didn't invade Iraq to kill Muslims so any further attack on Islamic nations was not needed. Even a dumbshit like W will realize that any sort of attack on Mecca will straight up lead to apocalypse. That was just the racist rabid dogs in the media barking. It was to change regime in Iraq based on lies and deceit, and grant billions of dollars in Oil contracts to his friends, grease the palms of defense contractors and give neocons in Washington their wish to see things go boom on evening news.

In my experience, we outright saw the deceit of Bush in our communities. We did not trust him at all. Him visiting mosque incensed the population further, and Sh Hamza Yusuf got lot of shit for standing with W - which he later regretted doing so. George Bush was enemy #1 of Muslims within America.

Of course you will find idiots that supported him, just like Blacks For Trump, etc. But it was no way a predominant view.

To people hit with Federal Government's policies - mostly poor, communities of color, Muslims, LGBTQ, etc - Republicans were always extreme. The Federal Government was always extreme. That is my point. The veneer of respectability never existed for us, and we saw through the shit.

White America never had to grapple with the consequences of their government's actions. We have been brutalized, raped, tortured and executed over the past 400 years to no avail. No reparations or acknowledgement. Instead of White America realizing they fucked up and ignored our voices, they shift the topic to how "GOP became more extreme!" because the blowback is now impacting their nice suburban schools or because kids nowadays can organize on TikTok and Twitter.
Damn American government holding down Muslims since 1623. I'm glad White America is finally facing blowback! (The concept of which is a racist myth btw)

But FDR didn't get shit for what he did... so why didn't RustyNails end up in an internment camp? Unless he thinks heart failure for a guy in terrible health was Allah's vengeance and W. feared this too?

This is hugely unfair.

Can't we get some kind of gofundme set up to put rustynails into the internment camp he so badly wants to go to?

Also, I can't help but feel a line of argument that is along the lines of "And at some random arbitrary point in george dubyas presidency, maybe mid september 2001 but who even remembers dates, suddenly and entirely unpredictably security services started paying closer attention to specificly muslim groups because who knows why other than racism?" is just a tad disingenuous.
