[Eric Cartman]

You don't. No more than he needs to correct you frequenting a left wing website like ResetEra. What would be healthier is a world where people feel they can discuss conflicting viewpoints without the need to win/lose and completely course correct someone else's belief systems so that they line up perfectly with their own. It's that approach that has led to the situation we're in today where political conversations are so heavily charged and everyone wants to live in their own safe little bubbles and echo chambers. We're usually no different here where that's concerned (just that we typically derive our opinions from science and a position of empathy).

Challenge his views respectfully and with compassion, and if you're lucky he'll start to think about things some more, feel safer discussing them when they don't lead to fireworks, and hopefully broaden his perspective himself over time. But you can't forcefully change him

[garamonde]

This might be sound a bit gay, but how good must trans dick be for them to hold so much power on ERA? Think about it. 



Or not.

My brother in law likes Joe Rogan. I need to correct that

Listened to some of the recent Theo episode and they talk about how some people are born homosexual and it should be respected. They talk in support of Gaza. They talk about the injustices of colonialism and slavery. They talk about snakes eating full size deers.

I’m not a regular listener but the times I have, it hasn’t been like the far right Nazi show they portray it as. In the Adam Sandler episode they talked about Milton Berle’s large dong. I think he’s 90% an ally.

All these bitches are only crying now about moderation because it's hitting one of their own. Not a peep when people get banned for the mildest shit like videogame boobs or saying that Will Smith probably shouldn't slap people at the Oscars

One of their own that will throw them under the bus without any second thought.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Last week´s reactions have been funny. The over reactions and lack of self reflection are a bit sad.

What I find interesting is that a bunch of them believe that the Dems failed because they weren't left enough which is like the absolute opposite of what my impression is.

The move from economic concerns and working class struggles to "woke" issues and culture war stuff was absolutely what drives people to Trump. They're too dumb to see it.

10% Nazi is no different than 100% Nazi as far as I'm concerned

[Cheers]

Let me explain something since I don’t see it mentioned here, and if it is apologies. 

Since Roe v Wade was struck down by the court that Trump stacked, certain states not only outlawed abortion, they are actively charging mothers with crimes and arresting them because they had a miscarriage. These states have no exceptions. Women are left in the parking lot to bleed out because doctors are afraid to work on them.

[...]

It’s still a huge issue. People are still dying from this. It’s cruel.

and the people in those states should recognize the cruelty and change their laws at the state level, as many states already have done, because roe v. wade should not have been allowed to dictate federal law

That’s being naive. These states are being cruel on purpose. They will have to be dragged into this kicking and screaming like the minimum wage. Look at weed. There are going to be hold outs no matter what. The answer is to allow it federally and stop fucking around. People are dying and they don’t intend to stop. Like alcohol, states should be able to create some type of blue law to prevent it in certain areas, but these bounty laws, death of the mother in the parking lot of the ER, and being arrested for a miscarriage have got to stop.

ok, then do it officially federally rather than through judicial decree

this is for the same reason that trump's executive orders should not be allowed to take the place of the legislature either

[EaldNarche]

Can Trump at least do an executive order or something that says they can abort that thang if they think the mother is going to die? These cases where women are literally bleeding to death in red states because no dr will risk touching them are crazy. Since the media actually pays attention to stuff when Trump is president we're going to be hearing about it nonstop. I'm sure there are kids in cages somewhere just waiting for Jan. 1st.

entremet
Mostly during walks in the park. I walk generally, mostly doing podcasts and audiobooks, but there's been such great TV of late--Shogun, Fallout, etc. That I've been using the preload functions and piecemealing them in my walks. Many times, I can only stream, but I have unlimited data and a decent connection. It destroys my battery tho.

I only do this park paths, not the street, I'm no insane and it's only 30 minutes at time. But I've been loving it.

Spatial audio on my Airpods is also pretty good. It's not my Sonos HT setup, but it's good!

You guys should start this if you want to habit stack more.

What do you do think?

Here's a habit stack entremet should try.....Shut the fuck up. Want to watch something like Lawrence of Arabia on your iPhone, go ahead. I would expect nothing less from a brain-dead moron like him. 

Bonus:

Kyuuji
Movies I wouldn't but on the rare occasion I watch a TV series on my own then it's usually on the phone. Then again I break all the rules and just treat a season of a tv show as one massive block of content and start/stop watching depending on how much time I have, not the episode start/end.

Even then I'd never watch either while walking, like, what?

Wow Kunty!!! You just start and stop watching depending on how much time you have??? 

I thought they were special because they claimed to be a whimsical dainty little lady when they're actually a giant hulking fat bald man. They really are breaking all the rules by not watching all the way to the end of an episode if they don't have time. What a Maverick!!!!

While I really like Taash and their quest, the final choice felt like it flew in the face of the entire point of it. The nature of having every companion quest end on a binary choice is understandable from a game design standpoint but several of these choices were not well implemented imo.

Too many choices in this western style RPG, Bioware. Can you remove these?

There was a clip going around some months ago of one of these productivity maxing weirdos watching “content” at 2.5x speed and wholesale skipping parts. No emotional or intellectual stimulation. Like the goal is to beat a movie by hitting the credits. Or how kids would check sparknotes instead of reading and having original thoughts. These are hobbies yet they’re treated as tasks for these robots to complete.

My postman listens to podcasts at double speed without headphones. I can hear him coming up to deliver the mail because it sounds like the micro machines guy with the rapid fire talking. 

I don't see how people can do it. It gives me anxiety listening to that.

I think that's also a consequence people didn't even think about. Doctors spending so much time on making sure the baby is already dead the mother ends up dying. I'm sure there are also some mothers who'd rather risk dying then aborting the baby but that's exactly what it should be then, a choice the patient makes.

I wonder if the quest of the non-binary character ends in a binary choice   

[Boredfrom]

There is a lot of stuff people didn’t think about it in this election at both sides, I’m impressed.

While I agree that you guys are going to survive 4 years of Trump, you are in for some nasty surprises and your politics are not going back as “business as usual”.

As you guys know, Kuntuji was one of the main Transmafia shit-stirrers behind the attempted persecution of the Stellar Blade devs. SHIFT UP, for alleged misogyny. He agreed with calls for all discussion of Stellar Blade to be banned on Era. There were many, many zoomed-in gifs focussing on the wiggling of Eve's shapely ass.

Then Kuntuji in fell in love with the game after playing the demo. Today SHIFT UP announced a collaboration with Nier X Automata and are releasing new outfits.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/stellar-blade-x-nier-automata-dlc-releases-november-20.1032534/#post-131493528

As if I wasn't sold already they go and throw in a kitsune mask.

Replay worthy stuff looks like
At least for outfits

The outfits were the main pull of a replay for me anyway so it ties in nicely.

Some of the outfits that 'were the main pull of a replay' for Kuntuji?? NSFW images in the spoiler below:

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

Kuntuji: Goes out of his way to stand up for 'wimmins rights' because he's a loud n' proud trans-woman, rages against alleged transphobia and misogyny by devs and celebs alike, constantly outraged by the sexualisation of 'wimmin' in videogames, leads campaigns to get normal straight dudes jumped-on and banned if they dare to have a different opinion to his. Most hateful shit on that site.

Also Kuntuji: takes off his Victoria's Secret underwear, whips out his ginger dick and beats the 2 inch meat if he ends up liking that game.

Zero Principles. Zero Integrity.

But 100% Hypocrisy.

[Cheers]

Clicky and Maze see their shitty logic is breaking down and are now trying to backtrack:

And if you continue to associate with them you're now the 12th nazi, as they're now nazis and you're hanging out with them

You're not a nazi, but you also are not an ally.

And if you continue to associate with them you're now the 12th nazi, as they're now nazis and you're hanging out with them

The metaphor isn't literal holy shit. It's a euphemism for people who don't believe in all of the heinous nazi views but are still politically aligned with them regardless of that fact. If you aren't politically aligned you aren't "consorting" with them.

Remember how they said if you didn’t fly the Trans flag, you weren’t an ally? This was during the whole death threats toward Target employees fiasco last (?) year. 


Die for us!!!

Lol. Yes it will. People are just soooo wanting to have some sort of apocalypse happen because they realize how safe and boring their time on this planet has been this far. They just can't take it, apparently.

Pretty funny.
