I only found this website through googling for lesbians 

But my true reason for being here is I hate my mom because she wishes I'd been born a playstation fan

I'm citing the terms of the deal and the fact that it is Hamas agreeing to things that Israel made mandatory for them to agree to the rest of the deal

What's changed is Hamas it's in the fucking article which I've quoted twice

Not surprisingly, the person severely distorting all the posters that are correctly criticizing Joe Biden material and intentional support of the ongoing genocide by comparing these posters to the "Hitler youth" is also the person who knows fuck nothing about what they are talking about and is incapable to read the fucking link they themselves shared in the most desperate and incoherent attempt to exculpate Biden I've seen in this forum.

Also not surprisingly, don't think I ever seen you post in the I/P thread or any of the related threads in the forum. Wonder why you weren't vocal before and you are so strongly (and wrongly) vocal now.

Some real Hitler Youth indoctrination camp happening in this thread

Y'all gonna endorse Trump's bigoted policies next under the guise of those who will suffer being core Dem voters.


The speed in which some of y'all overtly are championing the most pro Trump interpretation possible is pathetic

It will be 8 years this October that ResetEra has existed; we were deep into the 1st Trump Presidency, the Switch had released a few months' prior, we were pre-COVID...times were (ever so slightly) less crazy. But times change, people change, communities change.

Currently, over on the Constructive Community Discussion 2024 thread, there is an ongoing discussion with regards to the atmosphere of the forum as a whole, how to improve it, how to improve posting quality, reduce snark/drivebys and so on. If you have time, I recommend you give it a read through!

With that in mind, I feel that before addressing those issues, we would be best suited to understand as a community why we as individuals come here, as varying reasons for visiting the site may illicit varying responses for how best to 'improve' the forum as a whole.

I've tried to include the 'main/most common' reasons that one may want to give, though if you would like to provide your response and expand upon it, then please be my guest!
I've also done Single choice voting, to encourage users to select a primary response, but again please feel free to follow-up with secondary drivers!

As has been mention before, meta threads tend to not go well and is why we don't really allow them.

Lol, results were going as expected and it was only a matter of time before people started questioning the prominence some communities have over gaming.

A classic cancelling attempt in this GN thread. Steve is a fan of Total Biscuit:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/investigation-gamersnexus-files-new-lawsuit-against-paypal-honey.1082223/#post-134296203




Which means he, Steve, needs to "explain" himself soon:

Unfortunately, a lot of people liked TotalBiscuit. Me included, at one point. Then, I, uh, stopped liking him due to certain developments.

Maybe he's talking about the stuff he did for the StarCraft 2 scene? Maybe? "He really was the advocate for video gaming," sounds a little… I'll use the following emoji: 😬

Y'know what? I think he should clarify further!

Ugh, reminds me of another CC I just saw today posted a collaborative video with... fucking asmongold... and he already doubled down on it... So yeah this is a bit demoralizing...

Good. However, I can't help but feel remarkably little from this since Hamas was always ready to accept a ceasefire deal; it was always Israel stalling.

This is far from over, though, considering how the Palestinian people have lost their homes and families. What measly ceasefire deal that exists isn't true justice—it's the bare minimum and we still have a long way to go before true Palestinian liberation is achieved

People in this thread are extremely gullible. This just shows that a ceasefire could have been done momths ago and Trump likely wanted it extended for his own benefit.

This is America and hence Biden's genocide as much as Israel's. Acting like Biden is a hapless fool getting strung along by Netanyahu is just not accurate. Biden has been a staunch Zionist for decades.

No it's not accurate. What's accurate is that Netenyahu worked all year with Trump to prolong the war until after the US election.

I didn't mean to come across as personally hostile. So apologies for that.

I was just responding to you saying that Trump "extended" the conflict and I just don't think he meaningfully did. Biden, Harris and the dems wanted this. TBH I think many dems (not referring to you LilZippa) were gleeful at the prospect of Trump somehow being "worse" for Palestinians and those support who them.

mean it's obvious that the conflict was extended to give trump a win. There is historical precedence for this with Iran, Vietnam etc. they are literally accepting what the Biden team already negotiated. I think it can be both frustrating that this was needlessly prolonged due to trump and being upset that Biden didn't apply more pressure.

People are so naive about Red Note lol
I wonder if this "hype" is driven by bots or actually natural. But even if its natural. This App is as Chinese as it gets.

Insane perma. Dude has been on ERA/GAF for as far has I can remember. Always seemed sane/reasonable.
I was wondering if the footy thread would throw a fit but it doesn't seem as if he was posting there much anymore.

Who's the mod who feels like they must safeguard the honor of the CCP? I'm assuming Nep as she seems really involved in this tiktok thing?

I mentioned it a few pages back but yeah I'm pretty confident in some sort of direct China connection. I just don't know who. They've scaled back on perma bans in general except when it comes to some slight of China. My perma ban 4 years was for basically this same post too, made up "history of" and all. Back then it was just "xenophobia". They've gotten slightly more specific

Why would Israel accept a ceasefire deal when it was achieving its military objectives on a daily basis (eliminating Hamas leadership one by one)?

Both China and acquisition topics have hardliners enforcing the line way beyond known levels of enforcement. 

I'm thinking that these moderating actors are mandated by MOBA and don't answer to the administrators. It would make sense, since Chinese investment and mega acquisitions are closely related to the highest levels of the game industry.

Chat with Bernie happening in less than 20 minutes. This is six years in the making, y'all.

I just want to say that was a phenomenal conversation. Nearly came to tears a couple times. It's easy to believe that the future of the world is bleak, but there's just something about Bernie's way with words that brings forth pure optimism and hope.

plagiarize, does a mod have to make a new OT, or should one of us do it?

Usually we leave that to community members

First of all, thanks to RUFF BEEST for setting up the new OT! Apologies for changing the ticket at the last minute (*rimshot*), but due to rampant ego driven greed I am going to take over the OT to help keep things on the rails behind the scenes. It's a bit sloppy in transfer, but since there's a new hope and optimism in the OT over the last 24 hours I didn't want to scrap it and start over, lets keep this energy going and always remember kid, fuck a nazi © Death Grips.

I had spoken to krazen in DMs about taking it over a couple of months ago and was told essentially 'Potentially!' so I mean, I could still do it and would be happy to do so. I'm always around and have enough experience through all the various OT iterations to manage it.

Would just go for it, think most of us want a fresh OT at this point.

Do not.

Nah, I agree.

America chose to vote for racism and I'm expected to believe they'll show up for a black Captain America??

Hell this movies threads are a small step away from straight up posting #NotMyCaptainAmerica with the whole "Mackie is no leading man!" "I can't tell you why but something about this film just feels off" and "Mackie doesn't Have Evans Charisma"

Then there's the fact that the movie was heavily reworked and tests haven't been great.

I fear we might have reached a no-win scenario. Which will be yet another blow to diverse led Marvel films under the watch of a Disney that now wants nothing to do with "Woke".
