User Banned (1 Month): Flagrant hostility and misrepresenting other users; account in junior phase

RIP to the owner. Heartbreaking.



They aren’t allies then. Being an ally only when it’s easy does not make anyone an ally.

Anyone of those that does get "pushed away" was never once an ally.

Yeah, by no means do I expect allies to put their lives on the line for a pride flag. Let that clown trash the flag and get gone. Then replace the flag when you feel its safe. Don't go out there confronting someone over a flag. In no way should people feel expected to prove their commitment to the cause by throwing their lives away for a flag. Y'all are fuckin' unhinged.

Gay man here, flamboyant as fuck and want to support this post since I guess we are dragging it. I will stand up to these fucks when I'm in the mood but will certainly code straight in environments that are transparently hostile when I am not (and I'm aware it's my privilege that I can do that). No ally should feel like they have to die for the flag. And I am not victim blaming, neither is AliGalactic. This sweet woman did no wrong but it's not an obligation.

See how many fresh new allies yall get with this "but you have to be ready to die for our symbols" argument

The “allies” will fly the flag to show how much they love us but won’t do anything when an actual genocide is happening. As I said, I don’t care about the flag but the folks it represents I do care about.

You’re either with me when they come to put me on the wall or you’re not an ally to me.

Lol, Thordinson is non-binary now? Since when? Imagine being a gay guy and being lectured by this fucking oppression tourist about what people should or should not be doing in the face of persecution. The gays of Resetera need to band together and mass report this sort of bullshit.

I wonder if Nintendo will be wanting to have a voiced Mario for the next 3D game given the movie's success.

It's also time for Link to have a VA for the next game.

Zelda needs a unionized English voice production, a better ADR, & more awareness for ethnically-accurate casting first.

Guess who.

They'd get the same treatment that Gays Against Groomers has been getting from certain circles: attempted ostracization and outcasting by labeling them as republican/russian plants and psyops performing a million trans genocides per day. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of overlap between reseteran alphabet cabal and the online nutjobs that are making the rest of the normal world hate them a little more day by day.

At some point, nobody's going to be a woman any more with the amount of 'true Scotsman' rules that apparently exist now. I guess we can thank the loonies for leading us towards a society where everybody is contained within one fluid gender, and confirming that whatever a doctor says at birth doesn't matter.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/j-k-rowling-and-her-legacy-of-hate-the-uk-gender-critical-movement.643740/page-87#post-110730991

It's quite simple really; the only true women are humans who are born women. And society operates under the assumption that people are only one gender because a person can only be one gender.

Did they miss this one or is it a case where they have confused themselves so much about who the bad guys are and what the bad guys say that they don't realise that this is transphobic genocide?

There is a sex scene in the film and this person is so jealous and immature that she made her husband close his eyes and hide his face into her shoulder every time there was nudity/sex.

*I'm about to stray further from "makes you laugh"*

"Immature" might be unfair. "Unhealthy" might be more accurate. Personality disorders that trigger intense jealousy aren't rare, and they can be emotionally devastating for the person suffering, and their partner. If this couple has developed a coping method that they're both happy with, that allows them to have a functional relationship, that's ok (if they are both happy with it).

Having a TikTok channel advocating for unhealthy coping mechanisms is less ok, maybe. It's one thing to have a codependent relationship, it's another to give your viewers tips on cultivating one of their own. Generally they don't end well. I hope that woman is getting help, and her partner too.

Personal subject that I don't want to get into, really, but I needed to say it. I'm not happy with how I've worded it but it took about an hour to write so fuckit, post.

No you worded it fine and it is a great point. My post was dismissive and didn't take such things I to consideration. My only experience with such jealousy (not necessarily directly either) has been privileged enough that it was based more on insecurities rather than something like being neurodivergent etc.

Wait, so they found an excuse for being a narcissistic jealous bitch now?

Like I always say, most healthcare professionals don’t care about life, it’s just a paycheque for them (even if it’s a shitty paycheque) and this happening at the countess doesn’t surprise me. I will never step foot in a hospital again thanks to my experience at the countess due to them keeping me prisoner regarding my mental health.

I think it's called being committed you fucking lunatic. It's against your will because you have been assessed as not having full mental capacity and potentially being a danger to yourself or others.

Not going to make fun of that because it's really sad. The worst thing is that there's really nasty people out there advocating and promoting this type of thing who are actively suppressing these testimonies because it doesn't fit their narrative. 

Mark my words, in 20 years time there's going to be a huge scandal about medical practitioners and drug companies pushing junk science to sell hormones similar to the opioids crisis and tobacco industry.

Good to see the capitalism and business experts are out in force, in response to a fucking BusinessInsider article, no less:

The problem is capitalism. Wall Street is based on infinite growth and never ending increase in profit margins. Without it, the bubble pops.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/techs-broken-promises-streaming-is-now-just-as-expensive-and-confusing-as-cable-ubers-cost-as-much-as-taxis-and-the-cloud-is-no-longer-cheap.755659/post-110768410

That's capitalism. It demands infinite growth and any good idea will eventually be stripped down and turn to shit.

They're doing it wrong and operating too costly. If only they were to embrace p2p file distribution and stopped worrying about piracy and file ownership so damn much. But nah, that's the antithesis of that industry and so it will always offer a drastically worse service than some dump of a torrent site.

They can be thankful the average person doesn't care much about video fidelity.

So, streaming services should just put everything up on torrents? Somehow having everything available on p2p services will magically make people still subscribe to the streaming services?

-Uber is way less racist than the taxi service provided in NY and DC so I don't care if it's the same price, the service is a million times better.
-Streaming isn't close to as expensive as cable for me
-All my cloud services are free or at no extra cost to something I already pay for

Can't say I can relate to the sentiment here at all.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-was-charged-11k-after-spending-2-hours-in-the-er.729675/

I just got another bill from Medical Financial Solutions for $1061.

My first thought was that my $11k bill was reduced to $1061 and I was relieved until I found that the account number is different and read the fine print.

Not only I'm getting charged up my ass but they add insult to injury by charging another fucking separate bill.

What happens if you don't pay it? Cause my doctor's been asking me for $30 for the past year now and I still haven't given it to them.

I would say I don't know what it is, but I actually do. High school sucked and every single video game seems to gloss over that fact. I don't care about Social Links, I don't care if Brad is dating Jennifer but cheating on her with Tom and I don't care about gym class or cafeteria food or whatever goofy nonsense joke trope that's pulled out next. And I especially don't care for the math test coming up and if I don't click the right answer I'm locked out of some stupid ending. I still have dreams that I didn't study for biology and I'm gonna fail.

My high school life also sucked but I don’t exactly see why you are traumatized by this shit.

(Not hating Evangelion and I don’t go crazy for Lars Von Trier either, but this shit is such an Era answer).

Melancholia is one of the most boring slogs of a film I've ever seen, and both it and The Master made me look with sheer derision upon the film critic community.

high school games suck just because people shouldn't keep pursuing some idealized childhood

I get what you are saying but some of the examples he put are not entirely idealized (at best, saying that there is legit good moments in highschool/teenagelife with the bad). 

I give Persona 4 a pass because is the only outright optimistic Persona game and is introspective with its characters. Persona 5 ditches the idea of a idealized high school life and in Persona 3

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

the protagonist dies at the end of the game, so is much more melancholic

Pokémon S/V has a interesting take because even if the school is an idealized version:

it was not always like that, the whole staff resigned because they couldn’t stop the bullying problem before the events of the game, Team Star were a bunch of bullied children that organized themselves into a gang to fight the bullies

Era is really excited for racists who get doxxed and fired to have a legal recourse.

[Uncle]

since when do they want chuds to be able to maintain their anonymity online?

aren't they often like "say their name, post it publicly, drag them into the streets?"

[Uncle]

Illinois' law was motivated by a doxxing attack on a business that subsequently shut down. The UpRising Bakery and Café was doxxed last year after it planned an all-ages drag brunch, which triggered threats of violence against the bakery's owner, Corrina Sac, and vandalism of the establishment. Goldenberg told Ars that the doxxing "tore apart [Sac's] business" and, after the bakery closed, ADL raised nearly $50,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to help her recover.

...is that even fucking doxing?

aren't the addresses of businesses a matter of public record? tax records, accountability, all that? as opposed to someone who goes out of their way to be anonymous online?

seems like it's just a law about people who post an address with an implicit expectation that others will do bad things at that address
