The same imperium that has done the lions share of violence, exploitation, destabilization and fascist proliferation across the globe for the past century. Putin and the Islamic Republic of Iran wouldn't even be in power if not for the blowback from US imperial interference and destabilization.

 

This is some "socialism and marxism are hypocritical ideologies because Engels and Marx were bourgeois" nonsense.

But Marxism says only the proletariat can achieve the class consciousness necessary for liberation? So what's the grounds for thinking Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao (or Hasan or anyone on Era, who are all bougies) knew anything about what was needed for liberation? The hypocrisy comes from if what they say is true, we shouldn't listen to them, yet they contend we should ignore their own theory of reality to listen to them instead. At no point do Marx and Engels try to even explain this because the entire theory is based on Marx's divine revelation abut History and wasting his time trying to "fix" Hegel because some Hegelians offended him by disagreeing with him one time, which is why Lenin had to invent the vanguard which is itself based on more nonsense about divine revelation to the wrong class. (edit: Forgot to add that both Lenin and Mao rejected Marx's science that capitalism had to finish before the revolution in order to justify why they could act in the now.)

When we extend this with modern standpoint theory, which Era abides by when they aren't going mask off, then it's quite clear that Marxism is bourgeois lies and actual proletariat not only can't understand it but instinctively know it's hostile to their existence which is why they don't bother to learn it.

I dunno if she actually is underweight, shes pretty short iirc so can probably be under 100 lbs and still healthy

She looks like Skeletor, you moron. Clearly some kind of eating disorder going on there

That being said i will probably end up getting 4 cosmetic surgeries this year myself so who am I to judge lol

Funny how it's the trans members in that thread who talk about leaving her alone

It's her body, I'm minding my own business. I just hope she can get through things with this mentally getting all this backlash/making fun of her, she's been getting it from all across online.

Because suggesting that dysmorphic conditions should be treated and not affirmed is hitting a bit close to home.

Echoes clearly enjoys more talking about wanting things than actually playing/watching/reading them. The real joy for echoes is writing down all those rules this game needs to fulfill which are just 20 different ways of saying "no straights allowed".

You don't get it, he can't play anything because of the communities around them and how they don't respect lesbians.

As I noted regarding that r/actuallesbians thread, he got a bunch of replies making suggestions but didn't reply to any of them except the people who questioned his requirements and dismissal of stuff like Baldur's Gate 3.

The new prequel levels were the best part of this release. Too bad the cool new character was wasted.

Is there something a bit rich about a DICE dev talking about subject matter expertise with respect to SP level design?

That's legitimately a crazy take. The bonus missions have some of the most bland level design and are completely put to shame by the original campaign

Imagine openly admitting to not being a subject matter expert on good FPS mission design and embarrassing yourself like this

Imagine being so cucked by EA that you adopt shit ass corpo buzzwords to speak about kideo games without a hint of irony

Every vulnerable marginalized woman subreddit that gets vaguely popular gets taken over by trans settler colonialism so they make a new one just for women/lesbians/etc. and it gets taken over too and repeat.

I don't even want to speculate about what's going on with her, because speaking as someone who has been extremely thin their whole life and had to endure no end of people criticizing my weight and making jokes about it, it basically gave me permanent, crippling body dysmorphia that I have no way of solving. Nothing I'm capable of doing has ever made me gain meaningful weight.

I love these, only because the pro-pitbull crowd always sounds like pro-gun nuts. I see someone on the first page already passively called it out.

Also I liked this part of the "slam dunk" post that everyone is quoting (for truth!) 

And how a dog is raised and how people behave around a dog is a factor in 4/5 fatal dog bites, as mentioned above.

"Dog racists conveniently ignore the fact that 20% of fatal dog bites happen despite all of the best prevention efforts of the owner and people 'behaving correctly' around the dog. With numbers like that, who wouldn't feel safe?!"

[Ethan]

It must kill Nep that she can't ban all the dog "breedists" in that thread. You get the sense that mods often have free reign to moderate their pet issues (!) however they see fit. Nep gets to do that in threads about black people or AI, but she seems to be under specific instructions to lay down arms in pitbull threads.

School shootings alone kill more children than dogs do in a year.

Finished the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake of the first game. For better or for worse, it is a faithful remake in Unreal, with all the good and bad that comes with that. Playing it felt like going through some of the worst level design I have ever seen in an FPS game, and it is such a shame that they decided to recreate the horrendous levels of the original game, rather than reimagining them with the 25+ years of level design know-how that subject matter experts have learned since.

I had to play the second-to-last mission on my handheld as there is a 100% crash on PC when using an Nvidia GPU, meaning you will have a hard time completing the game if running the officially-recommended drivers, and I am not going to downgrade drivers for one video game.

What a wasted opportunity to reimagine what Halo could be for modern days, more matured audience, and future generations. Still the same munchkin kids being your primary enemy, still the same teenage-rated narrative, still not being able to take anything story wise seriously when sugar-drugged kids are the threat of the galaxy. Oh well. I guess I wanted more than to play the same game that was developed for consoles in the late 90s and early 00s.

The new prequel levels were the best part of this release. Too bad the cool new character was wasted.

💯.



I am 5'6" and usually weigh between 98 to 110 pounds, naturally. Right now, thanks to my hyperactive thyroid, I dropped to 102 in two months after being at a healthy 115 from lifting. It was devastating.



My entire life, I have had to deal with the most hateful shit online and IRL for being skinny. Strangers and friends alike feel my body is open to criticism by simply existing. Online, I am constantly told that my partners must be gay or pedophiles. Get told I'm not a woman, that I'm a child. That I must have eating disorders.



I can't even imagine what that would do to Ariana, who had that magnified by billions. Especially, as a woman, you're told that your body and your appearance is the most valuable thing about you and all that *really* matters 👎🏻. I hope she's able to take a break and focus on herself, not pleasing everyone else.

These people are so full of shit

If only nosey YTs would stop projecting their violent animosity onto these gentle service animals.

BUT IF I WERE TO PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE...


Perhaps someone from the community (optimally, a prominent BCT regular) could enunicate at an appropriate volume (for those positioned at the rear of the gathering) why specifically this breed of dog has been selected as the official Pet of Color. Is there maybe some prior shared history we aren't all read into?

[Greatness Gone]

The pit bull and Ariana threads are peak Ree.

You can see every bone in Ariana Grande's body. Her skin looks thin. Her hair looks brittle and like it's about to fall off her scalp at a moment's notice. 

Pit bulls are categorically the most violent dog breed in existence with evidence backing up the brutality and frequency of their attacks.

Meanwhile, this is the same forum that'll spend 20 pages pearl-clutching over some minor YouTuber drama or arguing over the least charitable interpretation of a tweet with 2 likes. But when it's something that's staring them right in the face, all of a sudden they remember the concept of nuance and bring up a bunch of unrelated anecdotes about their own retarded lives....

It's really something.

Pet really doesn't get enough attention as a prominent poster. She is a rare Real Woman on Era, and she always comes out of hiding to drop takes like these. 

"I'm actually unusually beautiful, successful, with a husband who is handsome and rich, and I have great sex all of the time...people don't understand how difficult my life is because of these factors (partially because it's rare that anyone here would be capable and desirable enough of a person to reach the levels of achievement and high social standing that characterize my everyday experience)."

EDIT: "Really when I think about it, Arianna Grande and I have a lot in common. Not that you people would get that."

School shootings alone kill more children than dogs do in a year.

 Whataboutism; inflammatory comparison; downplaying public safety issues in a sensitive thread

~20 people a year killed in school shootings (not technically accurate because there are years with way more and way less), ~30-50 deaths by dog attack a year. It's probably technically correct in that schools are mostly populated by children, whereas it's likely that dogs attack mostly adults.

edit:

Child vulnerability: Children age nine and under represent a disproportionate share, often comprising between 30% and 57% of yearly deaths depending on the specific annual dataset.
High-risk age group: Infants under one year old and toddlers aged one to four face the highest risk of fatal-level trauma, frequently involving family or familiar household pets.
Non-fatal bites: Roughly 4.5 million total Americans are bitten by dogs annually, with children making up about half of the individuals who require medical attention.

We should obviously take that last number, far less than 2 million children are shot in school shootings each year. (Another failure of capitalism imo.)

Hold up, didn't you read the thread? Most people don't even know what a pitbull is and everyone constantly miscategorizes them non-stop, including the fake news media. 

If dog racists were to say what they really mean, they would admit that they are irrationally afraid of giant muscle dogs with huge mouths and teeth designed for cleaving flesh from bone, regardless of the breed. Which I think we can all agree is yet another manifestation of capitalist white supremacy.

[Besticus Maximus]

Nepenthe of course has a total of 0 pitbulls in the home alone house

[benji]

Interesting that dog breeds (much like sex) are so complex and people are so ignorant that the state cannot hope to regulate them yet we can easily trust the state to police speech, beliefs and other essentials like AI usage or grocery prices.

[Potato]

Look, I agree with Nep here. You can't blame the breed for it's violence. 

What we need to do is look into the demographics of the owners of these dogs, because surely there's some commonality when it comes to their socio-economic status, maybe their cultural background, things like that, right?

Nepenthe, what do you think?
