How about a diffuser you stick in your butthole so everytime you fart the smell is coconut lavender. People would be asking you to fart right in their faces.

"White people are allowed to make up shit in science all the goddamn time"

Einstein was Jewish. Kind of famously suffered due to not being "white" at the time.

I'm oscillating between giving you kudos for being blunt about Disney having more positive mindshare than people here want to admit, and reflexively cringing at the realization that Kingdom Hearts is now significantly older than Final Fantasy was when the former's first game came out.

Time is a spiral. The more you think about it, the more depressing it all gets.

We make fun of Final Fantasy for not appealing to the youth, but KH is almost entirely a millennial old-folks series carried by nostalgia and the fact that people (kids) still like Disney, even if we have thinkpieces about how lame or whatever they are every week.

For a progressive that constantly bitchs about media consumption and diversity role in culture… this statement should scare the shit out of you rather than “yeah, more shit to consume.”

For some reason, it also annoys me when the weather starts to get slightly cold and folks right away dress like they're in the arctic.

I don't like the cold.

Even Einstein basically came up with a universal constant just because he didn't like the idea of an accelerating expansion to the universe, despite the data at the time pointing against the idea of a static universe.

"White people are allowed to make up shit in science all the goddamn time"


Yes, it's called "Theoretical Physics" you fuckin' dumb-dumb 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics

People like Einstein create theories, which are then either proved or disproved, and we get scientific advancements.

The world's top universities offer degrees dedicated to theoretical physics. There are entire departments, and government budgets specifically for areas related to theoretical physics. We are able to send aeroplanes in the air and satellites into space because of theoretical physics. The whole reason why you're able to sit on your lazy ass at your pharmacy, and typing dumb shit like that post, is because theoretical physics allowed for the eventual invention of computers, the web and phones.

I'm not sure who the worst type of posters on Era are.

Is it Nepenthe, one of the dumbest people on the internet, who openly hates ALL white people?

Or is it the white members of Era, constantly hoping to suck Nepenthe's droopy tits and afro pussy, by constantly licking her boots, without ever realising she utterly despises them? 

Go to her youtube channel, look at her playlists and behold the whitest person who ever hit the internet

He IS the president of the United States. Arguably the most important position on the world. Let us not forget that he regularly releases medical reports that he is the smartest and healthiest man that ever lived...



If he is wearing diapers that shit needs to be called out because if it was Hillary or Biden, there would already be an act of congress to remove them.

Congress would vote to remove the president’s heavy stinking diapers?!

I do believe that there are psychological effects that occur when groups of people are invested in media that's being heavily marketed and advertised to them and then must proceed to co-exist, and that the emotions involved may far exceed the ultimate perceived worth of that media once enough time has passed to review the media with less influence from a hyped up environment. It's the nature of modern entertainment. The only things any individual can do is not be an asshole, either by deliberately mocking people for being invested and shitting on them to get a rise, or by shutting out the people who aren't as excited by victimizing one's self and framing critique as a personal attack, and further to work at separating one's emotional investment from any incongruous outcomes in reception and quality. It's fine to like games that others don't, or to dislike games others do. I'm a Sonic fan; I'd know.

This brings me to the last thing, which is the struggle of groups coming together to build that broad coalition. There's no doubt that people who vote Democrat broadly hate Trump, and that there's a common ground there. Unfortunately, there is a lot of other changes that need to happen that others may not be keen on. At the last No Kings Protest, any chant about how we hate Trump and his cronies would be met with massive returns of the chant. Fuck ICE wasn't nearly as loud but was still pretty solid. Removing ICE completely was much more silent, and then when trying to get people energized about overturning capitalism it felt pretty silent (or something along those lines, I just remember a chant that happened for something and very few people repeated the chant back).

[Uncle]

on that subject in general, it's interesting how you can hold a giant "fuck trump" protest with hundreds or thousands of people and nothing at all happens because republicans don't give a fuck

but if you get together 5 people to tweet angrily toward some democrat institution they immediately fold and say "we deeply regret how our words and deeds have harmed the community"

I'm going to be brutally honest, all this thread is going to do is result in replies where people literally just shit on those who actually try and protest. It's not going to have any sort of actual discussion.

[Uncle]

in other words, the thread is going to be met with...people protesting? and you're trying to head off that protest before it happens by shutting down the venue entirely?

"White people are allowed to make up shit in science all the goddamn time"

Einstein was Jewish. Kind of famously suffered due to not being "white" at the time.

Also to add: to come up with an example (however dubious) of something she claims happens "all the goddamn time" she has to go back more than a century. (And again, to a time when "white" meant West of the Rhine and North of the Alps.) 

Even though it's not that hard to find recent white frauds in science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wansink

But even Wansink didn't lie about everything (and obviously so) throughout his entire career, so it's still a poor comparison. (Also he got in trouble and lost his career so doesn't prove what she wants it to prove.)

I didn't say either was good

in my experience you can't cave to every squeaky wheel, a vocal minority doesn't necessarily mean something MUST be addressed, but at the same time you have to thread the needle of recognizing when it's at a critical mass that deserves recognition

government should be representative, you don't ignore the people, but you also don't make a change that 3% of people demand when it affects 100% of people.

No, it's just funny. The former accurately perceives that even a "million man march" may not actually represent anything in the larger population, the latter feels beholden to any interest they can identify with that expresses itself. (I would argue that Trump actually is the latter, his election denial was based on the crowds he was seeing come to his rallies. Witness his unchanging belief about trade since the 1980's even as the country, and he himself, got wealthier because he identifies himself with his vision of a "common man" that's largely a myth from the 1950's about people he never associated with.) It represents something in the psychology of the latter, it's like the crabs feel they've done something wrong if they start to escape the bucket and turn back.

It's funny because the latter are the people who claim that everything, especially the tough cookie of intersectionality, can be solved by simply having a mass meeting long enough with everyone participating. The rest of us recognize this can't accomplish anything because it fundamentally can't make decisions. It's a huge flaw in the utopian vision of "progressives" that they assume something they don't ever demonstrate, that all ideas should be given equal weight and never dismissed, and people like Habermas spend endless pages trying to avoid saying that someone has to decide this at some point or the "discourse" literally is never ending.

We don't even have to go to some high level hypothetical, we can look at Era and its incredible niche. If we took their "progressive democratic" rhetoric seriously then chuds have to be allowed to run the video game industry, they're the plurality or even majority, but all their time is spent outraged about the chuds putting bare midriffs and not enough skins for Black characters or buying Hogfart's over Concord or not boycotting Microsoft. The moderators who oversee the "discussion" won't even let their users ban more games to protect people from harm or complain about ninjas because they believe all Asians are the same. You can't go a single day without someone on that forum expressing the need for a higher power to limit the variety of opinions that people can hold, at the same time "dismissing concerns" is the biggest offense on the forum.

Jason Arday plagiarized his way into a PHD, knowingly fabricated the most ridiculous lies at almost every opportunity until he got a job at one of the most prestigious universities in the world where he would claim that students who had issues with him were racist and used the law and law enforcement to scare away legitimate journalism from looking into this.

The geniuses over at resetera: This man reminds me of Einstein.

[benji]

In 2020, Routledge published Arday's monograph, Cool Britannia and Multi-Ethnic Britain: Uncorking the Champagne Supernova, which examines 1990s Britain through his own autoethnographical lens, with a particular focus on racial issues such as the murder of Stephen Lawrence and the Macpherson Inquiry.[34]

Not surprised the yts here wouldn't consider this on the same level as challenging Newtonian physics.

edit: The groundbreaking proven science he edited (not wrote) and are his only other books other than the above and his infamous memoir:
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-60261-5
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-65668-3
Look at his entries in those even, it's more autobiography which yts could never understand.
