Lots of world leaders are upset with what he said, which to me makes this much more than a bad translation or whatever spin his defense force was putting forth.
Who apart from Trump and Marco Rubio were upset by this?

All I've seen is praise for being the first to say what most in Europe think. And Trump's just mad that Macron 'disrespected' the US.   :lol

And while people can point to how China treats its own citizens, does the US having one of the highest incarceration rates in the world amounting to modern day slavery just not register?

The Florida House late Thursday passed a bill that seeks to allow the death penalty for people who commit sexual batteries on children under age 12.

This will actually make it harder for children to come forward as they will be afraid to their parent/guardian/"friend"/family member will be killed if they speak up, could somehow be used to threaten gender affirming care providers (Florida is rapidly trying to reclassify GAC as sexual abuse), and likely increase the risk that chikd victims are murdered to keep them quiet.

A sensible title for once!  And she adds commentary! 

But I doubt those under age 12 are going to avoid speaking up because of the potential repercussions their abuser faces.  I mean, when a grown women doesn't  accuse a man of rape it's not because she's worried about his well being.  It's because of the litany of other reasons women don't accuse their abusers.

That is probably the most WTf take that Excelsior has expressed. Scumbags like DeSantis get more power because detractors treat them like all powerful knowing evils rather than assholes that want power. Getting panicked because death penalty could  be abused by Florida against transexuals in a convoluted way is certainly a take.

so as per era


Children
- should be allowed to watch adult content in dancing shows
- should should be allowed to view adult content online and on tv
- should be allowed to be trans because they think their minds are mature to make the decision.
- are a burden on their social life

Women
- should stay in their lane when it comes to trans “rights”
- don’t have right to define what a woman is , it is up to trans community to define it instead
- should be encouraged Abortion even if they can economically support it if it hinders their social life

Why is the food in Disney Parks so mediocre?

You’d think for the rising costs and the food mark-up, even today, you’d get much more tastier options at Disney Parks. However, I’ve always found the food in Disney Parks to be downright mediocre. Even in the fine dining spots. Heck, I even prefer leaving the parks and eating outside them at better venues for food.

I know food is not the draw, but at those prices—both tickets and food prices, you’d think they be better here.

I’ve honestly had better stuff from food trucks in my travels, than overpriced Disney Parks food

I dunno, maybe because it's a theme park for children you absolute plank

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-is-the-food-in-disney-parks-so-mediocre.708566/
Wait, wait, wait. This fucking idiot is surprised that mass produced theme park slop is not as good as meals from food trucks which are renowned for being some of the most innovative foods available?

jfc Disney play parks have fine dining zones?

How does blatant and comical lying "empower" a culture, especially one that everyone knows already had civilization.  The world isn't Ancient Aliens, Nepenthe.  Nobody actually takes that stuff seriously.  It's the same channel that shows My 600 Pound Life and docu-shorts about people addicted to pulling hair out of the drain.

I think the moment that Kevin McCarthy guaranteed the america first people america would default on it's debt, I think Janet Yellen should've tokyo drifted her car to Kevin McCarthy's office and just start bitching him out repeatedly, haranging him often, and just making his life hell for even promising that to the america first people. I'll never forget reading that tweet about his promise and think "wow what a bitchmove."

I feel like the fed should just start constant haranging operations on the america first people just to fuck with them as payback for the promise

so, forcing a random person to go through life-changing trauma that could result in them being found liable for your death in some way and have massive social consequences for them (especially in today's world, being labeled a trans-killer) is horrifyingly selfish and short-sighted, and honestly should result in a ban on era

however, we're talking about era, so what TheGummyBear really meant was "trying to muster up the courage to throw myself under a car and failing"

So basically they just started talking to me about a PS5 and overwatch 2 to me out of nowhere. Both things I play a fair bit btw. But anyways they mentioned they are gonna play Ow2 all weekend this weekend now that their kids are out of town and how they don't get to play often. We had never really talked before this. Then they busted out the question:

"YO! You a gamer!?"


I freaked out. I said "n-no!" like really loud in the most obviously lying way possible. BUT I PANICKED. I just didn't want to be put in THAT box, ya know?
I don't want them to think I PLAY PLAY video games, ya know? Like, seriously play them. So I lied. The room got all quiet. It was like they were expecting me to say yes.

I feel like I may have missed a connection here? Like they were going to invite me to a sort of gaming circle so we could play together? I dunno. But it got awkward after that?

How do you answer when asked this? Do you even get asked this at all? Do you hide your power level? Also, do you share that you surf gaming forums all day for news? Do you tell them about us? Resetera?

Dont label me gamer!!!!!!!!!1111

Even though I spend 90% of my time on gaming forums and own a PS5

https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-a-coworker-asked-me-if-i-was-a-gamer.708593/

 ??? ??? ??? ???
Normally, I'd make fun of this but this is the guy who posts detailed erotica about Chris Redfield fucking him on a "video game" forum. So he should definitely share this with his coworkers and then report them to HR if they don't praise him for his bold queerness in the middle of a wartime genocide.

Quote from: EricTheGamerman
And while people can point to how China treats its own citizens, does the US having one of the highest incarceration rates in the world amounting to modern day slavery just not register? Or the tens of thousands dying every year from an institutional and deliberate lack of universal healthcare while the country has made billions of weapons and enriched a handful of oligarchs. The US dresses up its mistreatment of its own citizens as "problems that need to be worked on" and then promptly does extremely little by design to solve many of those problems. People get arrested, mistreated, and have systems designed to deny them human decency and rights all the time. But because it's "part of the system", those injustices are allowed to stack up ad naseum as the promise of "just elect the right guy to fix them" is forever dangled to the populace. The US already committed its primary genocide to exist and did basically nothing to own up to that, and the possibilities of a trans genocide are unfolding before the states now too as the already extreme right wing pushes harder and harder towards dehumanizing and demonizing LGBT people (and a good deal of that is completely legal under the system too and increasingly with little recourse to stop it). A lot of Chinese policy is horrific and cruel towards it people, dehumanizing, and completely fucking horrific too. But the point I bring up is that the US certainly does not treat its own people well even if it is SUPPOSED to in theory have all these guard rails and features to protect people.

And beyond that, no other country in the world has the direct military intervention record the US does. And how many states have gotten into bed with the US to find their industries, resources, and institutions gutted and sold off to "Western capital" or even just "austerity measures" sold to gut the economies of other countries. It's happened time and time again, so of course the US screams as loud as it can about what Belt and Road is going to do to countries... because that's exactly what the US has done over and over.

...

If the US wants to position itself as the "good guy" to China's "bad guy", it has a few thousand war criminals to prosecute, a whole bunch of international laws to start adhering to, begin offering better options for most of the world that doesn't involve resource theft and blind eyes to totalitarian regimes and authoritarian actions resulted in the deaths of millions, etc.

I don't like even entertaining the prospect of defending China here, but

Hey, remember when they used to lecture us about how "both sides" or even just giving the time of day to someone's concerns is dumb because "it's not hard to tell the difference between good and bad" and so on and so forth?

Now apparently it's cool to deliberately run a totalitarian regime that abuses its citizens with an actual body count in the tens of millions and spread historical lies (plus conspiracy theories) because like other people aren't perfect! Other people get to be bad, why can't I be bad too and increase the amount of problems?!? Stop criticizing me for being a piece of shit too! It's not fair!

Someday ResetERA.com will be as safe for trans people as OnlyFans and they won't have to flee their life being constantly put in danger by the staff who are complicit.

Why does every trans activist post on era read like “the Allies have not sucked me off in a satisfying way and because of that I’m feeling lost”

Well, I think it's fairly important that if you make a documentary focused on a notable black person from history, you don't make up stuff. There's nothing wrong with a documentary highlighting black people (or people of colour) who played an important part in world history, since history as it's too often yold is way too white-centric, but you can't just make shit up about someone's ethnicity to "claim" a heritage as actually yours.

It's something white folks have of course done forever and it's pretty bad seeing prominent black people now doing the same by just claiming Cleopatra was black, actually, instead of actually focusing on one of the great African queens of the past.

It's even more jarring because, as someone else mentioned in the thread, the Ptolemys were kind of colonizers abusing and suppressing the native population, so there's another whole problematic layer in framing people from that dynasty as actually great black rulers.

Because these famous people deep down doesn’t give a shit about all this outside of superficial empowerment and clout chasing. Like you just said, is the same with white people but people in the Anglo sphere seem to think that lesson of all this is just let marginalized groups lie about historical facts because they also makes them feel better (and prominent people from those groups can take advantage of that). BCT is just the same given how many initial snarky responses from usual members.

I’m for one, surprised that Jada Smith has a shallow view of race and empowerment. :awesome

Because they've invested all their sense of self and value into a deliberate mental state where anyone and everyone who doesn't immediately affirm their arbitrary wishes, no matter how improbable or impossible, literally wants them more dead than moblin does Greatness Gone. And they spend all their time associating either with a cult that only preaches this as the only possible way to live or people who refuse to question the cult's metaphysical, statistical or logical claims while attacking anyone who does, however slightly and honestly, as more bloodthirsty than Steve Youngblood after stubbing his toe.

Don't forget that they were even better when they captured OTHER Africans and sold them to Portugese and Spanish slavers. Those are the really good monarchies.

It's amazing how that Mr. Beast tweet defending his trans friend fucking killed that thread. A thread btw, where they were mad at people digging up past transgressions of a fellow transgender. Not only transphobic but racist tweets too.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/chris-tyson-mrbeast-crew-coming-out-as-trans.705638/page-3#post-104168654

The funny thing is Mr. Beast has the potential to do way more for trans people than all those idiots put together.

It's misinformation too:

"For 99.9 per cent of women, it is completely biological ... and of course, they haven't got a penis."

99.9% not 100%.

No, that was Keir Starmer (Opposition leader) who said that, the PM did say 100%

https://www.resetera.com/threads/florida-is-rapidly-expanding-its-death-penalty-laws.708797/
Quote from: Exel
Quote
The Florida House late Thursday passed a bill that seeks to allow the death penalty for people who commit sexual batteries on children under age 12.

This will actually make it harder for children to come forward as they will be afraid to their parent/guardian/"friend"/family member will be killed if they speak up, could somehow be used to threaten gender affirming care providers (Florida is rapidly trying to reclassify GAC as sexual abuse), and likely increase the risk that chikd victims are murdered to keep them quiet.

A sensible title for once!  And she adds commentary! 

But I doubt those under age 12 are going to avoid speaking up because of the potential repercussions their abuser faces.  I mean, grown women does not accuse a man of rape it's not because she's worried about his well being.  It's because of the litany of other reasons women don't accuse their abusers.

That is probably the most WTf take that Excelsior has expressed. Scumbags like DeSantis get more power because detractors treat them like all powerful knowing evils rather than assholes that want power. Getting panicked because death penalty could  be abused by Florida against transexuals in a convoluted way is certainly a take.

"I'm morally against the sexual molestation of children because it might make the trans community look bad" is quite the take  :doge

Same. If we're gonna engage in historical fanfiction I'd rather it be fanfiction that empowers MENA cultures rather than insist they couldn't have had civilization without fucking aliens.

My unfounded racist historical revisionism is far more palatable :snob
