No, really, it isn't about anything yet. At the moment it's just a hashtag. Some people are mad obama talked shit on trump a few days ago and some are mad about how he acted towards trump while president. A narrative will probably develop soon.

From what I understand Flynn's case was supposed to have been dropped. Documents and memo's were uncovered that revealed Yates, Clapper, Brennan, Comey etc. by their own account 'didn't have a shred evidence' to tie Trump or his campaign to Russia. They wanted to drop and close the investigation January 2017 because they quickly concluded that the Steele Dossier was bogus. Not to mention their efforts in monitoring Manafort and a few others hand't produced any evidence related to Russian collusion or interference. FBI agents Lisa Page and Strzok pushed for them to keep it open once they learned the case was to be closed as they were certain they could somehow get to Flynn. They texted about this effort to frame Flynn. Which is the evidence that made it impossible to continue the case against him.

This shines a new light on the Mueller investigation and the operation that proceeded it 'Crossfire Hurricane'. Especially if the heads of intelligence had already concluded before Mueller started his investigation that there was no evidence to tie any of Trumps associates to the Russians. Furthermore during the course of the Flynn case a lot of has been uncovered with regards to how 'Crossfire Hurricane' started in the first place. This is partly tied to Obama because as President he signed off on wiretapping the Trump people and launching 'Crossfire Hurricane' in the first place. But it is unknown if he did so simply because his intelligence chiefs told him or if Strzok and Page were not the only two trying to frame Trump associates.

User Banned (1 Month): Violating the staff post, driving a derail, modwhining, history of similar behavior.

Ketkat got banned again. That's like the third banning she got after her drama fueled return :lol Any goodwill she had after returning must have long since been used up. Probably one more ban away from being perm'd.

No love for Ketkat but that's a real bullshit ban

Quote
What an absolutely bizarre mod post. This thread is full of people talking about FDR's racist and sexist policies, and the way that they hurt Americans but people can only talk about Reade's accusations in approved threads? How in the world is one off-topic and not the other? And how do you even see not allowing people to even bring up the accusations in threads about Biden's presidency as not shutting down discussion?

Suddenly the mods invent the rule that you can't drag accusations into every single thread.

It's not a bullshit ban. Dragging the same Tara Reade shit into every fucking discussion no matter how tangentially related it is to Biden makes the thread completely unreadable. It's hard enough to get people to actually contribute to discussions over there, but it's outright impossible if the forum equivalent of the principle of explosion makes every thread subject to an endless filibuster about something everyone already knows about. Making every thread about one subject that simultaneously no one can agree on is like demanding everyone play a Russian roulette game with all six chambers filled.

Its a bullshit ban by era standards because they established the policy that you can freely shit up any topic you want by bringing up any old controversy no matter how unsubstantiated, selectively evidenced or forgotten.

I mean, if the mods want to reverse that stupid fucking policy its a start I suppose, but if they only do it to subjects they care about and leave any thread about, say, THQ to get shitted up talking about kiddy porn and rape... well, I don't have a condition for that IF statement, because the mods really are that fucking shit at their job.

really kinda true, main example being "everything is political" so no matter what the game is you can pop in and drop a hot take about lara being a colonizer with white privilege and never get an infraction for being off topic, and anyone who tells you to piss off is minimizing real violence and lived experiences

The implication is that rape allegations against a presidential candidate are less important than some dev making gamergate tweets 8 years ago, which is hilarious

User banned (3 months): severe inflammatory generalisation, multiple prior related infractions

Before the inevitable posts complaining about this, should stop to consider just how profound this is. Gigabit speed low latency internet to an entire continent that's never had any internet infrastructure before and likely never would have.

His prior infractions are all "related" in that they came in Elon Musk threads. No, I am not making this up. :lol

I’m tired of this. My wife stops off at the grocery store on her way to work last night as a critical care nurse to grab something to take to eat cause we haven’t gone grocery shopping in a bit.

Person in line at checkout starts going in on her on how it’s all fake and they are lying and insert shit here. She just bites her tongue til she can get through the checkout.

We see all shit posted online. My dumb governor doesn’t even know wtf is happening. I see extended family who doesn’t understand how real this is despite us both telling. Then when my wife goes out in public she gets shit on (this isn’t the first time nor will it be the last).

On top of all of that her hospital administration wants to do everything to cost cut, act like oh you can get by on the supplies you have, and btw we need to get back to elective cases ASAP to make some money.

Meanwhile my wife is calling me in tears from the parking deck saying everyone hates her until it’s their family member that has this and then OMG please save them. She’s worried sick she’s gonna catch it. She’s worried she’s gonna bring it home asymptomatically. She wear’s a mask 24/7, and we haven’t kissed since like Feb.

We are both about done with it all. Fuck those people who just don’t care. Fuck our government. Fuck all the hospital admins. Y’all can rot in hell for all we care. I got a text at 2 AM with her saying she has half a mind to just quit and call it a day.

I feel your pain. My wife and I barely touched each other in March out of fear of being asymptomatic. We probably are going to have to go back to sleeping in separate beds when I return to traveling for work.

Whilst I think ketkat is scum and a horrible person, the ban is pretty whack.
I do think the new mod team just don’t like her and probably are tired of her shit.
I mean realistically she should be permed anyway for doxxing mod discord’s
so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s given a perm soon as she’s building quite the history of bans at the moment.
It’s about time that ban baiting bitch got some karma anyway, bet she’s hating it stuck at home and now she’s in solitary confinement, bet she’s already comparing herself to Chelsea Manning.

The mods keep walking themselves into such a narrow and multi-angled corner that they don't know what they are doing or which way to point.  It's hilarious to watch and to exploit.  The fun of ResetEra is to heckel and complain and watch the mods twist in tighter and more confusing knots to justify bans or make new rules.

It's like a dystopian future where a handful of idiots make the rules and not the ruling oligarchy.

It only takes one troll to destroy a forum, I remember when I was younger and fucking dumb (well slightly dumber) I used to go to some forums to specifically annoy moderators, they had hard and fast rules so I would stick just inside the letter of the rules but clearly break the spirit of the rule over and over. Eventually I trolled enough where they made the rules more vague and at that point chaos was unleashed like never before.

I don't think era is making it through this year. I made a bet that it won't if Bernie doesn't get the nomination, but it seems like the pandemic has escalated everything where most of the known shitposters are getting banned, the other more limp DNC neolib shitposters are being whiny bitches in spite of having all the power so they claim they're sticking to discord, and yet it's seemingly less active than it's ever been during a global lockdown.

By the time we get to november and Trump regrettably gets re-elected (much bigger possibility than the polisphere seems to think) it might have already crashed and burned.

they have to get through cyberpunk 2077 first...

imagine when the regular users who just want to talk about the game starts referencing the freshly minted "biden rule" to stop ket-kat and her crew of unleashed fu(r)ries from shitting up all the CDR-threads  :rejoice

seems like a weird bet, what are the stipulations

like would neogaf have met the stipulations of dying?  what was it a week offline cleaning and then reopen and gradual resurgence?

sites tend to not just disappear, they can implode but they always have some dedicated small user base that eventually peters out and one day you stumble across them like an internet archaeologist and say "wow there are 4 people posting in this one thread like once a week and the next most recently active topic was from 5 years ago"

I don't think cerium is shutting it down within even 5 years, he might transfer ownership at worst

now if you want to say minimum 100 people get so upset they publicly announce a splinter forum, now you're talking...as if discord wasn't already that

It's pretty rich for a site like Kotaku to complain that everything is now part of a culture war

In a normal society, this would have been the end of things. But because everything is now part of the larger culture war, SNK’s apology became the latest rallying cry for reactionary gamers

The same Kotaku that posted child porn.

Quote
This story, part of our regular coverage of the intersection of sex and games, originally included screenshots from several porn parodies with a note that they were Not Safe For Work. We’ve since removed those images. While the intent of this article was to provide a snapshot of the kind of gaming and geek porn that’s out there now, it’s clear in retrospect that, in terms of the images and the analysis you expect from us, we made a mistake. Readers are understandably uncomfortable about these kinds of depictions of characters who are often depicted as or thought of as teenagers. I am, too and apologize. We can do better, and we will. - Stephen Totilo, Editor-in-Chief

The same Kotaku that posted child porn.

The gaming side is full on old school gaf with these system wars. But with less industry insiders.

There are plenty of people who use WiFi because that’s what works for them, however. And picking on them by giving them a badge of shame kind of sucks—it speaks to a lack of empathy and care on Lab Zero’s part, which is disappointing, and kind of makes me feel less warm and fuzzy about recently reinstalling Skull Girls and settling into it.

I like to play games curled up on the couch with my Switch or my Laptop, and I haven’t yet had room in my money or time budgets to buy a crimper and a big roll of cat6 so that I can run cable under the floor and add a network drop near said couch. I guess I’m not welcome to curl up with Skull Girls until I do so? Bah! I guess I’ll play something else. :-p

Some people live in rural areas that may have overpriced satellite connection plans offered by predatory ISPs, so they connect to the internet from fast food LANs instead. Unfortunately fast food LANs are wireless.

I recently did some work to tinker with my laptop and get it into better gaming shape, and part of the work was to curate a beautiful little list of my favorite games in a launcher. They give me warm fuzzies. Skull Girls was in that list, but it's not giving me the warmest of fuzzies right now. Might be time to set it aside for a while.

that skullgirls thread is still talking about how wired internet is ableist privilege :lol

That's the platform Trump is running on in 2020. Poor people who can't afford/don't have access to terrestrial WAN links to play fighting games online.

Jeez, it's not easy being a hero -

" it's just so saddening seeing the amount of people taking the piss in my supermarket. Just in a single short shift I saw:

- A group of 4 boys in their late teens rollingl up in the car together to buy booze
- An older man buying a single Wine taster and some sweets
- Multiple people buying plants and maybe a few bits
- A very old woman coming in to buy some 'Food to Go' stuff and nothing else
- Aisles completely filled with people both working and shopping

And it's just like... what am I doing this all for? Why am I worrying so hard, wearing masks, trying to keep my distance, etc when it seems that there are so many people who aren't doing any of that? Whether they *have* to do that or whether they simply want to do that I don't care, they're still doing it when they shouldn't be. The supermarket definitely doesn't care. Everyone from managers down are always just non-chalantly talking with each other, and I have to actively avoid my own colleagues sometimes because they just won't stay away. Yesterday we had about 4 different people replenishing a single aisle at a busy time of day..."

It must be exhausting being a real, actual hero when all those fake heroes are talking to each other, and being all non-chalant while they're casually stocking shelves.

It's better to simply go to the local businesses owned by those minorities.

Having a bunch of Taco Bell products in the ethnic section is way more problematic to me

It's an interesting idea that requires some reflection and research.

But I suppose that wont stop a bunch of "lol no" white people dropping their kneejerk reactions. Will it, era?
Quote
Nah, I get what the original post is saying. It doesn't strike me as evil, but the point is that, say, tortillas won't be with the wheat items in the grocery store, separated like everything else.
:crowdlaff :girlaff

Ah yes, the wheat aisle of the grocery store.

This thread just reads like the extension of the white fragility of "I can't eat tacos anymore?", article just says why does certain things have to walled off into one little spot in the store. It's a honest question, why can't pho noddles be on the same asile as macaroni and lasagna noddles?

How do you misspell it twice?

i guess the ethnic/internatinoal section works differently where i live, it's just the shelf for foreign brands that aren't popular enough for general distribution but has crazy fans that pay any amount to get it.

like coke:
regular coke is produced locally and sits in the soda section and outsells hotcakes by a wide marigin
vanilla coke is imported directly from murica because several dozens of crazy people want it and are prepared to pay a 100% markup for it, and you'll usually find it in the international section if you can find it at all.

Where I live, it just means mostly Mexican and various Asian foods on one aisle, including a tiny amount of imported stuff.  It's a chain supermarket...that's normal.  People know if you want the real deal that you need to go to international food markets instead.  Not sure what is problematic about this, but it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Bags of flat rice noodles can already be found in the pasta section where I shop, whereas an instant bowl of pho can be found in the oriental foods section, along with cans of licorice tea and sriracha.

Because import brands are for a much smaller group of customers, it would be much harder for me to find where the Asian shit is if it was all spread out across the fucking store (3 cans of tea somewhere in the softdrink aisle? Pocky in the candy section?) than thinking to myself "ok, I'm in the mood for some stuff that isn't typical for American supermarkets - if it's going to be anywhere in this store, it'll be on the four shelves marked 'Oriental'"

Why would you want to have shit spread out on different aisles to make it more tedious and harder to find?

last time i was at the store i noticed that the "oriental" flavor of instant ramen is now called "soy sauce". that's all i got to add to this.
