"Another Highly popular community request has been the ability to create more attractive and generally realistic-looking characters.
"Both the male and female options have been visually enhanced"
"While we've also increased the femininity of the female body type with more attractive face options and a more conventionally feminine body shape"

wow the quote is fucking WEIRD
Honestly I don't mind what they actually did, but the framing of it is icky as fuck

Nah what they did itself is equally icky as fuck.

You said "fascism isn't European." That is the literal claim you made, and it is objectively wrong. Etymologically and historically, fascism is an Italian ideology.

This is true regardless of Trump being American. The ideology is explicitly European in origin. It is thoroughly white people shit.

You can say Trump is America's problem without effectively denying basic history.

The context is clear, let's not kid on. The conversation was not about the origin of fascism, neither etymologically or historically. No one is denying basic history, you're having a completely different conversation. You're a mod, do better.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-14#post-138560964

You said "Fascism isn't a European thing." How else am I- a Black person- supposed to take that other than this weird Eurocentric view that a lot of you around here have purported to express in the past that American racism is some unique thing that has no historical basis in the horrid ideologies you all kindly "exported" the world over?

And there's that colonizer haughtiness that thinks you can tell me what to do.

You can read the thread properly for a start. A pretty basic thing for a mod to have in their job description I'd have thought. Or you can continue to fight shadows and put words in my mouth.

Oops, I did it again!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-14#post-138561261

Or you can learn to type. I did read the thread. You were still wrong, both historically and morally.

My typing is perfecting fine thanks. I'd read it back again if i were you, as saying Trump shouldn't be sent to Europe isn't wrong historically or morally.

If love to know where you think Trump should be sent. Sending a convicted criminal from your country to another because you don't want to deal with them seems pretty colonialist to me.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-15#post-138562152

??????????????????

So you post an edit that was made after my initial posts from the *other* person having to clarify what they meant becuase it was idiotic, a subsequent post again after my intial posts, and a comment not posted by me to tell me the conversation i was in? What are you even doing here, beyond the absolute weirdest ego stroking side quest I have ever witnessed?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-15#post-138562806

He didn't clarify because it was idiotic. He clarified because you and plenty of other Europeans were unable to understand where he was coming from. And even after he said he was Indigenous, you still have refused to catch on.

It's also funny that you are complaining about me not addressing the part of the conversation you were in when this didn't start with you, which is basically an admittance that you didn't read the thread yourself.

Without clarification it is an idiotic comment. Send Trump back to Europe is based in no single facet of reality, without you having to resort to using wormholes to go back in time and insert a bunch of stuff about colonisation that wasn't in play neither from that posters original (pre edit) post, or my subsequent post saying 'deal with your own trash'.

You got my complaint wrong too, but I can't say I'm surprised at this point.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-15#post-138565857

How is the guy who said Fascism isnt European going to tell anyone anything about making idiotic statements. European delusion at the core.

You're just displaying wilful ignorance at this point about what I said. I guess this what happens when American exceptionalism crosses the current American education system.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-16#post-138574164

 

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

It's amazing

I've been so nice and nothing…… no understanding

Willful ignorance…. You made a complete factually incorrect statement. You can't fucking cope that you fucked up and just own it. And when this entire discussion is expanded to elaborate all of the direct connections,

You double down and choose to completely ignore everything that was said by multiple people

And YOU are the one who's wrong, but call me willfully ignorant

You made a comment earlier about me yelling at ghosts.

You can't find that statement ironic when your whole point of contention is about some vent post saying send Nazis back to Europe…. Something that has no serious possibility of happening in any way….

And you winged about it constantly, to only accuse me of yelling at ghosts

You made two accusations of behaviors you personally showed in this thread.

Here's one of the most interesting details of your campaign in this thread

When you were presented with historical analysis of this situation, one of the first things you ran to was "historical wormholes". You somehow think that historical events are somehow unrelated to modern day events. To the point, you cling to new labels and identities in order to preserve your worldview that Europeans and Americans have some distinct separation when it comes to White Supremacy and Manifest Destiny. You are fully bought in on Westerncentric presentation of history and its events. You didn't even realize you pulled a common Right Wing tactic of disregarding history in order to do it.


You are the perfect example of European tendencies and behaviors that are 100% complicit in destroying the world and modern society.

You speak with no respect to history

You can't admit fault when wrong

You refuse to any sort of comprehension to observe your thinking outside of a white focused context


Your issue is not with the idea of people sending Nazis and fascists back to Europe. Your issue is that people now recognize that White Europeans are the base root of the problem and will openly speak on that without fear of reprimand.

And again, let's remind everyone, it only became a problem for yall when oligarchs decided to openly add you all into the ass whooping. It was fine when the targets was the rest of the world nations. It was fine when America was the big bully dog with NATO as they exerted their will on the globe

But now big bully dog America has decided to shit on the EU so now Fascism is "everyone's problem"

I am Black. I am the foundational and proverbial brick that "American Exceptionalism" is built off of.

The vast majority of what I know and learned did not come from the American education system. It came from reading history, detecting patterns and similarities, and observing white fucking nonsense like this thread in real time.

When you can finally comprehend the fact that fascism is not exclusive to Europe and can be practised by Americans is not a factually incorrect statement we can continue to talk, until then yes, you're being willfully ignorant by choosing to not understand the broader point being made and are fighting with shadows. Notice I said shadows, not ghosts, that was another poster. Yet another example of your confusion about what the hell is on going on in this thread. Or delirium. I don't know anymore.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-and-el-salvadors-president-confirm-they-will-ignore-supreme-court-and-not-return-kilmar-%C3%81brego-garc%C3%ADa.1163862/page-17#post-138575799

I comprehend just fine, you just refuse to own your mistake out of embarrassment

Unlike how I can admit I used the wrong word (ghosts / shadows), in your brain that somehow discredits everything else I spoke on. It's just a rant because I missed one word.

I did admit it, hours ago, not my fault you didn't see in in your fit of incoherent rage.

And the second part is pure protection lmao. That is *exactly* what you did to me. The arrogance and hypocrisy is biblical.

Look, I'm not shitting up this thread any longer as people (including me) don't want me repeating myself to a somehow sentient brick wall, so if you wanna discuss it further feel free to send me a DM. Otherwise I wish you luck with your American President 👍

lol I didn't know this thread got bumped. But I can provide a small update.

The app: About a week ago, I found him on the app. I don't know whether he has the feature that allows you to hide yourself from other users (which may be why I never saw him before), whether he just created a new account, or if he saw me first and blocked me and then unblocked me, but…there he was. Around the time I saw him, I was coincidentally incognito myself (unrelated to him). But there's a 50/50 chance he saw me at some point and knows I'm on. My intuition tells me he still doesn't know, but whatever.

Anyway, I immediately blocked him.

Interactions at work: We don't talk. Ever. And I don't say good morning or "bye" anymore. I did come in one day and walked passed him and he said "good morning" (first time he ever initiated a good morning). So I mumbled "good morning" back. Whenever he is telling everyone bye, I don't respond.

This morning, I opened the door for him and he said thank you. I didn't respond. Then says "thank you" again, in a very subtle "you didn't hear me?" sort of way. And I just mumble "oh, you're welcome" in a subtle "why are you speaking to me?" sort of way lol.

Sucks that he works right in front of me now. Our boss moved a group of us to the downstairs office space. Before, he was off to my right out of view. Now, I can literally see his face at all times of the day.

Meme Fiction advice:
Are you sure you didn't viciously turn him down on the apps and he recognized you from the pics?

I considered that we may have chatted once, but I honestly don't recognize him. But I would never be rude to anyone when turning anyone down.

Oh my god

The definition exclusively focus on biological functions can exclude ciswomen who do not fit traditional biological norms, such as those born without functioning reproductive organs. This can deny infertile, disabled, PCOS, and childfree ciswomen of their rights.

5. The movement pushing these changes is predominantly led by white women. Gender Critcial Theory is embedded with racist connotations and coded in maintaining white supremacy. TERFs are white supremacists, Joanne K Rowling is a white supremacist. This ammended definition will target women of color, as seen with Imani Kalef's case.

I think is hidden, not nuked.

Someone with an account get us an update, I bet we find out Mimic sucked this dudes ex boyfriend off at a bus stop or some shit.

JB Hunkamunka

A few years back during a temp assignment I had a coworker who seemed to act passive aggressively around me, and it was something I wasn't used to in the workplace. I figured it was because he was rather boisterous and outgoing and I hadn't really socialized much around the office and I supposed he took that as me giving the cold shoulder (I had a more tech-y job than most of my coworkers and it took a lot of my concentration). So one time pretty late in the shift I went over to him to try to smooth things over.

Turns out he was gay and was just really into me!

Was a pretty awkward situation, but Covid happened immediately afterwards and I finished the gig while WFH and never saw the dude again.

MIMIC

Lmao. Situations like these remind me of elementary school. A girl was really into me and always pushed me and got me into trouble and was very mean to me. I told my parents and the teacher and turns out she liked me.

But this guy? Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. But we're adults now. I'm taking his actions at face value. I'm not saying good morning to him anymore. I'm not acknowledging him outside of work-related matters.

I heard him gossiping with another coworker about how he thinks it's disrespectful to not say good morning when you see someone. And that's true and I feel the same way.

If he didn't like me before, he's in for a treat.

Good to see you can't enjoy this game anymore without being lumped in as a "grifter" or "chud" great job again with nuance.

Great content update, will have to revisit and get the platinum from it. Post launch support of this kind is always a good thing.

lmao get real

Went and reread every single post before yours, and yea, literally no one said that. There are people understandably no longer interested in the game due to the CEO, and acknowledging that they are appealing to chuds, but that's it.

Lol ok. Who’s stopping you from enjoying this game? Is there a “woke block” or something on your Steam account?

I think the problem is they are only doing it for female characters which shows they are bias and one sided. If they would have said they're making both their male and female characters hotter etc than people would have no problem at least for me. Games should be for everyone especially a fantasy game cause this isn't some generic call of duty game. As for the game, never heard of it before so didn't even know there was ever a first game. But it looks nice from the screenshots and video so might give it a try.

You lumped yourself in there.

Turns out it's a Gettysburg reenactment. Which I'm assuming if they're on horseback means they're playing a Confederate.

Why would you assume that? Horseback means an officer, in either army.

Pickett's Charge was infantry, that's why it was so awful.

Why the hell are people STILL thinking getting into a deal/arraignment with Trump won't end up with them being stiffed/holding the bag?

What is it with Trump that makes rich and business-minded people lose all common sense and pattern recognition?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/delusional-zuckerberg-shot-down-after-trump-failed-to-come-to-his-rescue.1167159/

It's amazing how these guys are consistently ignorant of everything they deign to opine on as experts. Zuckerberg didn't get into a deal or arraignment with Trump. The article, which is MSN quoting a WSJ article, only says that he was hoping that the change in administration would mean Trump was willing to intervene. It's just standard lobbying of politicians, except Zuckerberg was smart and targeted the thing that matters with Trump since traditional lobbying has no effect with him.

If we take seriously what the article says, what everyone is saying in that thread and the inherent logic of it, then Zuckerberg had literally nothing to offer Trump. So why would that lead you to conclude that there was a deal and that he got stiffed on it? It again sounds like the smart lone play they could make since the alternative was a Meta-hostile Trump appointing more social media hostile FTC commissioners angling to take out Trump's enemies for him. Avoiding that is easily worth the small price they paid and would be the object of this "deal" not hoping Trump takes a personal interest for a guy he thinks stole an election from him.
