Speaking of that...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-it’s-like-to-”vote”-in-north-korea.104444/

I mean what’s the point? Are they just trolling?

Why does everyone allow this to continue to exist?

It's a nightmare, and it's incredible that it's been allowed to go on for so long.

[benjipwns]

That's a lot of wasted tax payer dollars just for a petty farce of an election.

[benjipwns]

And the reason the Kim dynasty is allowed to exist has 1 very simple reason: China and Russia see it as a buffer state, they simply don't want a US-aligned country on their border.

got it in one

It's quite sad that Korea as a whole was used as a buffer. North Korea was used to protect China from a US-backed state and South Korea was to protect Japan from communism.

yes yes of course

[BisMarckie]

Writing my North Korean  embassy right as we speak.

[benjipwns]

It's a method of control. Even though you don't really have a choice in the matter, you're made to feel like you chose the government because you cast a vote for it.

[BisMarckie]

I just read on wikipedia that apparently there were similar fake elections in the whole Eastern Bloc.
Yet the US.didn‘t intervene, not a good look.

[benjipwns]

Someone might mention how North Korea's neighbor of China elects its national officials.

[skullstorm]

Honestly, looking at his thumb, the tip looks white but the base looks black. There's a line, almost like he was burned or bleached or something. I've seen lines in skin like that before where something happened and made part of the skin way whiter than the rest of the skin. I don't think it really proves anything.

Furthermore, despite what Enzom might tell you, a person is who they are, not what they look like. And just writing this post investigating his skin color makes me feel icky inside. Enzom being white or black doesn't change the fact that he's an insufferable twat.

I can't see any such line but I do see another white finger

[benjipwns]

One of the -stan countries once nullified an election for "fraud" because they screwed up the ballot box stuffing and only gave the party of power like 80% of the vote.

It's like nobody listened to Stalin about just making up the vote totals.

[benjipwns]

Of course, don't do it like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Liberian_general_election

despite there being fewer than 15,000 registered voters, King received around 243,000 votes, compared to 9,000 for Faulkner

[Jenkem]

shaun king is blacker than enzom

[Jenkem]

Cerium is a homophope, Nepenthe is a furry from Georgia role playing as a Brazilian revolutionary, Sweet Nicole is a confederate redneck, BCT is full of Brits and cacs, Enzom is apparently a half caste at best, major users are actually troll accounts, it's almost like the whole site is just performative online role playing

what if your resetera nation is actually influencing resetera.com via some sort of forced feedback loop with the AI that runs both?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/when-is-it-ok-to-be-resentful.104488/

Can't sleep tonight. Just thinking about all the shit in my life (don't come in here saying other people have it worse. I know that already).

My parents have always helped my brothers out more than me. One they even lent 50k for a house loan right out of college so he could build equity. When I asked for help to do the same they said no.

I got better grades than him in school and tried harder. Got scholarships and worked while going to school while he took out a student loan that my parents helped pay back. When my dad died. He got my father's car (I got his watch). He makes a lot more money then me now and owns two homes because they helped him. I'm still unemployed and hate my fucking situation to no end.

After my father died. My mother gave a car I really liked and had asked to have when I came back from China (cheap Ford fiesta) to my druggy sister that totaled it.

Maybe I'm sounding selfish but I feel like I got the rawest fucking deal in my family. Oh and my mom bought like three trailers for her new boyfriend and like 10 cars that he's supposed to fix up and sell. Meanwhile the help I get is to move back in with them while I look for a job. Which I'm grateful for, mind you, but the house is infested with roaches and not finished. Like water pipes busted and other shit.

Like I said. I know I've got it better then many out there but I feel like I should be able to get the same help they have my older brother. I know being resentful isn't good for me but why do I get all the trash in the family when I did the most work?

Anyways. Make fun of me as much as you want. That seems all I'm good for.

should have cut out his family like the rest of ResetERA.com

Is there a single "prominent member" over there that isn't unemployed, "depressed", resentful or just straight up jealous of everybody else?

These people almost unanimously make bad life decisions and then complain that they aren't getting what they rightfully deserve.

I mean, he comes from a family where the parents are able to just loan $50k cash to his brother (and potentially to him too), so they are not poor. In fact, you could say they are quite well off.

He says his brother owns two homes because he got help from the parents. Well, I think it's because he got a fucking job after university and kept it, which this lazy fuck has failed to do.

Would you loan $50k to someone for a house loan who couldn't hold down a decent job, spends most of his day posting at a video game forum and would most likely default on the mortgage? Hell no!

[VomKriege]

Jesus, everyone can feel resentful or spiteful at times but this dude is just going in circles over there.

No job cares about gpa. What was your major?

Major was marketing but my brother's was fine arts and he got worse grades.

[HaughtyFrank]

It's toxic masculinity. But yeah, my uncle had to be extremely amicable with his ex-wife as he was going through their divorce, he had to live in their garage while they were working through it and the reason they were getting divorced in the first place was because she cheated on him.

[Nintex]

The Iran nuclear deal framework was a preliminary framework agreement reached in 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iran and a group of world powers

In April 2010, al-Awlaki was placed on a CIA kill list by President Barack Obama due to his alleged terrorist activities.[36][37][38] Al-Awlaki's father and civil rights groups challenged the order in court.[36][38][39][40] Al-Awlaki was believed to be in hiding in southeast Yemen in the last years of his life.[30] The U.S. deployed unmanned aircraft (drones) in Yemen to search for and kill him,[41] firing at and failing to kill him at least once;[42] he was successfully assassinated on September 30, 2011.[14] Two weeks later, al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was born in Denver, Colorado, was also killed by a CIA-led drone strike in Yemen.

See, it was all to placate Saudi Arabia for something that would happen five years later. You non-interventionists just don't understand the risk of nuclear war this prevented. Or the depth of the decision that needs to be respected more internally.

Also something about refueling rights.

That's not how any of that happens.
Obama: "I want to be the president that brings hope and change"
Deep state, Corporations & Banksters: "You'll need our support and money friend  "
Obama: "O.k. but this won't be like the last time!"
Deep state, Corporations & Banksters: "No no, it certainly won't  "
Obama: "The world is going to shit, the economy, Libya Egypt, Ukraine, everything... even the water in Michigan and my approval numbers are tanking.... help!"
Deep state, Corporations & Banksters: " Just follow this script breh "

Ughh he creates a thread to ask if he is going down as one of the greatest composers, yet he doesn't even have the balls to definitely say he made the best soundtrack of 2015...

Kirblar's been having a rough time since his declaration that the Democratic party wasn't going to go after Ilhan Omar for her latest remarks ended up being wrong. A lot more people been calling him on his centrism and libertarian-ish leanings this past week. It is like the image he built up over the years on PoliGAF and PoliERA as being the "adult in the room" when it comes to politics shattered. Now those who never liked him taste blood in the water and are having a frenzy as his expense. His partner in arms, Ichysaurus, also been laying low since he got off his ban.

When I was on NeoGAF, I called him out and always knew the dude was the most phony liberal ever.

I respect people who straight up tell you what they believe.  Kirblar for years knew how to slowly inject his politics into conversation while making himself look like he is a Democrat. Amazed no one could catch on to his phoniness until now. Also that other guy with the fish icon seems to be kirblar's alt or something.

[nudemacusers]

What a horrible ban reason. You would think with a former mod they would soften it up a bit. Maybe, 'Inflammatory rhetoric'. But no, now he is branded by his former employer as a war crimes justifier. Lovely.

I go to a lot of retro gaming events, and because of how annoying nintendo fans are on resetera, I legit look down on nintendo fans irl these days. At a recent even, We were waiting in line and those tools in front of us were talking endlessly about Nintendo Switch garbage, and how they are importing expensive soundtracks from japan. Those guys were all decked out in nintendo themed gear, and one of them blasted chip tune remixes of Smash Bros from his old ass android phone from 2008.

They are constantly fucking broke because they spend all their money on nintendo merch

Random story: I had tables with a bunch of games for sales once,  A nintendo superfan agonized at this japanese boxed copy of Mario Kart 64 I had for sales for $15, i think the dude stopped 5 times at our tables to check out the box, open it up, look at the manual, inspect the cart, check the random flyers, I think he almost sniffed them. 6 MONTHS LATER, at another edition of the event, he shows up again, and does the same thing with the item. By his sixth visit, I got tired of him, and told him he could have it for $10, he goes and tell me that he cant buy it because he spend all his money on stuff already and that he cant spend more, he opens up his backpacks and shows me like 2-3 super shit wii era licensed kids games, two amiibos and this huge yoshi plushie toy.

 

I decided I would keep that mario kart for myself now, it has been molested enough   

I get that people have different interests and tastes, but why are Nintendo fans always so strange and cultish about it

[thetylerrob]

Nintendo fans are weird because a lot of them are straight up autistic. I'm not even making fun of them for that I'm just saying that's an actual factor here. My brother is autistic and he's always been weirdly obsessed with Nintendo shit.

Furthermore, despite what Enzom might tell you, a person is who they are, not what they look like. And just writing this post investigating his skin color makes me feel icky inside. Enzom being white or black doesn't change the fact that he's an insufferable twat.

yeah, the only people who care more about what someone is (or, online, what they claim to be) than what they do or say are bigots.
If enzom is white and now a bunch of what he has said in the past is recontextualised as straight up racist, guess fucking what? It was always straight up racist, its just your own cognitive bias that gave it a pass.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Dismissing concerns surrounding sexual assault and antagonizing other members

Do not fucking talk to me about how war is the best option when you've never suffered through one as a civilian, the United States has no fucking right being anywhere, the idea that you have to do something to fight "evil" (evil being a very subjective term depending on which country does not align with our interests) in the first place is poison that continues to feed the endless grinder that kills countless innocents for literally zero reason.
You've clearly never had a relative raped and brutalised by soldiers, otherwise you'd never say something as fucking stupid as war being the best option.

What a childish response and very wrong, I'm glad anti-interventionists are a minority honestly.

like the war it was based on, this thread is a slaughter

Because that's the game. They think it's against the rules to 'doxx' and 'send' followers when somebody they don't like retweets or even just replies to random people. But are okay with it when it's done by somebody on 'their team', such as the Parkland kids.

It's note even by punching up or down. All they care about is who is doing the punching.
