From that same thread, the most HOLY FUCKING SHIT post I have ever read on ResetEra, from no less than Visa Wife himself.

Our first try ended up in a miscarriage, which was obviously traumatic. We buried the afterbirth in our garden. We were able to process and make peace with it. Raising my children has been amazing. Coming home from work to kiss my wife and girls or picking up my girl from school puts a big smile on my face and makes my day.

when you're a gaming site and it's the social justice warriors on etcetera who want to ban everything.

That reminds me, thank god they banned twitter embeds. That was so important. Now excuse me while I watch my favorite political streamers scroll through Twitter

It is a Pakistani Muslim thing or is just Messy being a fucking psycho?

[Boredfrom]

Bdumbs really thought he could get one over on Palestinian ERA. 

He always chooses the decision that will make things worse. At this point I think is a psychological thing on his brain, because he is cognitive enough to understand how embarrassing is the forum.

Hello, long time listener, first time caller.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/un-warns-14-000-babies-could-die-in-gaza-in-next-48-hours-without-aid.1193925/#post-140226336

This post feels like it implies Israel has some sort of goodness to them that they are slowly losing over time. They have never been good.

This post feels like its made by someone who simply hates Jews, regardless if they are zionist or not.

Hi, I'm snail.
I work in videogames and it is killing my love for gaming. Maybe getting into this forum can help with that! See you all soon.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

They should ask gaming side if they want to ban microsoft threads. 

Put up a vote. EtcetEra will get btfo and have nothing to stand on unless SONY FANBOYS VOTE IN MASS FOR A BAN!

I'd say 1895 is more important given it's the year of the first commercial public screenings that would create the cinema industry and the cinema experience.

I'd argue the Silent Age of Cinema is vastly important to Cinema and movie pop culture history as none of the films above would exist with them or the pioneering of many of the early filmmakers. 1902, 1910 and 1920-22 especially.

Well, duh.

Raising them is the challenge for me but my kids are a blessing. Concieving has never been the issue. I have two kids and probably over 7 abortions from previous relationships. Not my choice, it was theirs.

Couldn't figure out how a condom works?

I seriously doubt his story is real, jesus.

Elsewhere -

long before I knew much about Druckmann, I hated this game. I didn't bother to finish but did watch a friend go through the whole campaign and the political messaging was plain as day. You fight for your people, not for random strangers. It's boiler plate, hard right, nationalism.

This has to be bait right? You can't possibly believe this. I'm sure I could go into detail why your post is so ridiculous but on its face, even if we accepted your word that Joel's actions are supposed to intentionally represent nationalism, the game does not frame his actions as righteous whatsoever. So what are you even talking about?

No; if anything it was restraint. Druckmann makes explicit Zionist allegory games. TLOU is one. Feel free to death-of-the-author this as much as you want but as someone how knows a thing or two about the conflict, it's plain as day (I've literally read so many people say the same). Here's two analyses / interviews with Druckmann being quite explicit and honestly some pretty mollified commentary from the journalists.

Notice that in both cases he tries to wiggle out into "cycle of violence" BS. Which is standard liberal Zionist (which is in fact hard right nationalism just with rights for Jews as opposed to the Israeli far right which wants basically theocracy at this point) handwaving to get past the obvious differences in power and political projects.

Feel free to love these games (I can't deny the beauty of right-wing art, just go watch a Wagner opera) but don't kid yourselves about the politics.

I can't help but think Trump or someone let this happen because of what might result from it. I know it's irrational, but something about this feels off to me.

As off as believing Trump somehow is omniscient?

we're at a point where a lot of Palestinian Era is in tatters, and who knows if it can be salvaged, made to feel unwelcome as a result of how handling of the genocide has been

I like the implication that "Palestinian Era" has ever been more than like two dudes. And that this girl was keeping track of it before because of its valuable contributions.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/maga-budget-reconciliation-bill-would-ban-medicaid-coverage-of-all-transgender-care-including-hrt-for-minors-and-adults.1196181/

Hormones are necessary medical care for trans people, especially for those of us who no longer produce any internally (also me!). Stopping HRT would leave me with next to no estrogen or testosterone in my body, instantly dropping me into severe menopause and causing osteoporosis among other problems.

This doesn't sound right. For one thing, males can't have menopause.

edit:
1. If you no longer produce hormones you're fucked, HRT has totally ruined your body somehow. Stopping things it wasn't even supposed to target and totally damaging your endocrine system.
2. You can't menstruate, you don't have a uterus, you don't have eggs, etc. so you can't "instantly drop into severe menopause" because estrogen isn't causing any of those things. Like, come on, man.

[Kyon1988]

I'm more annoyed Fat4all keeps pushing the narrative that somehow the trans community left ERA. 
They completely control that site

[benji]

You know that nobody has fled the site because they never name names. Maybe honor the important community members we've lost? Nah, the instant they're gone (mostly because they were banned like hachikoma or Ketkat) they're never mentioned again and it's as if they never existed in the first place.

[books]

Interesting that we haven't heard from brother noodlesoup in a while.

Resetera being a hotbed of activity with political discussion regarding "zionists" and how the oppressed need to arm up and DO SOMETHING and suddenly a couple Jews are murked. 

[Potato]

Then your understanding of this forum continues being wrong. I'd dare say that the majority of the people here disagree with what Israel is doing in Gaza, same with all the westbank settler shit. At the same time this doesn't mean people think Israel doesn't have a right to exist at all and should be wiped off the map like your RE friends like to imply. 

Also at this point I'd start wondering why RE always complains that pro-palestine protests are mislabeled as pro-Hamas while they themselves never miss an opportunity to defend pro-hamas protesters.

I wouldn't even bother, he never responds to posts with any substance he just does drive-bys.

Prove me wrong Blueballs, prove me wrong.

At first, I thought, "Great! Finally, I can ask this guy a question about his and Era's hypocrisy without getting banned." But nope, he farts in the room, and leaves thinking he'a all brave and stunning.

Bluebells is definitely a she/they and all that implies.

Big fan of them acting like moving to another country is just like booking a holiday.

I mean I don't think anybody would notice if they overstayed their trip to The Gambia. There is no shortage of foreign guys of questionable character living in Africa or Southeast Asia.

Wanted to make a bad joke about buying a Switch 2 in The Gambia. Somehow that led me to Facebook Marketplace and they're renting live rams for about 20k gambian dalasia month. There are multiple listings for renting rams in Serekunda. Why don't we have this in America.

B-Dubs basically admitting that they are attempting to stifle discussion, and keep it to their hive-mind discussion.

“This thing fucking sucks!”

“I agree! Fuck this thing.”

“Yup, this thing is fucked.”

“I disagree, there is more to this thing.”

“Well, you’re fucking banned.”

My buddy is doing a northern to southern California bike ride for Aidswalk and I dropped a hundo for his fundraiser. Immediately after, I thought I should have given it to Melody for a new clicky keyboard instead.*

Poor melody was rejected for getting disability benefits. Melody could have truly used that money

Giving Bill Burr a shit ton of money to have a nicer podcast to compete with Rogan would do 100x more than whatever the hell this is

Burr is becoming more progressive each day, but he still has some crazy beliefs.

The other day he went on a rant on his podcast about billionaires and how far to the right we've gone, which was great to hear, but then he said something like... "it's because the left went crazy a few years ago and would cancel you for not getting someone's gender correct". Like, dude, you can not in good faith equate people wanting to be acknowledged with the correct pronouns with folks being deported to foreign prisons without due process. We barely inched left and American society went apeshit and attached the pendulum to a rocket heading towards fascism.

Maybe there's no leftist Rogan because the left freaks the fuck out the moment someone isn't perfectly aligned with their beliefs

How can Resetera say there isn't a leftist Joe Rogan when this guy exists? 



I mean, he shares their politics and has a whole state media empire behind him.

im trying to be more sympathetic in general as a dog since yesterday, so I wont be mean or aggressive, and I don't mean to.

there's been a lot of times in this forums history where large groups of folks were made to feel unwelcome and left, specifically the trans community and asian community

we're at a point where a lot of Palestinian Era is in tatters, and who knows if it can be salvaged, made to feel unwelcome as a result of how handling of the genocide has been

whether you do something or not, even if it's just a small thing and not a full ban on MS in general, will matter a lot right now, be it notes on every MS thread or containment threads or whathaveyou you

I know I've been very aggressive towards you before, but I do care a lot about era, and im very worried it's becoming less inclusive in general, and I hope something is done

Something has...*blushes*...well, changed about me...

And I'm feeling more *uwu*...

So I won't be a meanie old grumpus to my favorite daddy...

But can we pwease do something about mean ol' microsoft...

There was never, and there never will be, a "Palestinian era" community.
