Abortion: Women deserve the right to choose! It’s their body and their rights. These are medical decisions and should be made between the woman and her doctor. Child support? Of course men have to fucking pay! I don’t care if they didn’t want to have the kid, they should have kept it in their pants then. They don’t get to choose!

I've had this thought.

i want to give that thread the benefit of the doubt, but it comes off mean spirited.

Hm, let's take a look at the thread he's referencing. God knows Era is full of meanspirited and spiteful people...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-thread-is-for-people-in-happy-long-term-relationships.1226862/

Isn't having a partner you love and makes you happy grand? I think it's probably the greatest gift the world has ever given me. I occasionally forget just how many people are not as fortunate as I am, and I try to remind myself so that I never take it for granted. If you haven't in a while, maybe go do something nice for your partner.

[benji]

So that's it again? Israel and the US go unpunished… again.

Yeah I feel like historians will study this period and wonder what the hell everyone was doing to allow this to happen.

I really don't understand how nobody there ever asks them who is supposed to be doing this. Are they asking God to do something?

People made jokes about a war with Canada and the forum threw fits about it for weeks. They can't understand why Canada isn't trying to militarily punish the US for bombing Iran?

They made how many posts bitching about Trump's anti-capitalist measures against free trade for rising prices on their cumsumption. They can't understand why Europe and BRICS isn't trying to sanction the US economy for bombing Iran?

What about the rest of the Middle East doing Arab solidarity??? Well, maybe if we're lucky Hasan will learn about what Shi'ite and Persians are so you can find out why they don't get along at one level. We know you won't ever look at the history of the other nations to find out the other reasons. (Let alone the history of what the US has done in the region for the last two decades lmao, Iraq, Libya, ISIS, etc.)

These dudes are constantly demanding a world police to do something about everything that happens in the world. They get it and then post stuff like this:

This is why I roll my eyes whenever white people try to convince us that Iran developing nuclear weapons is a global threat. The U.S. and Israel are the global threats. Absolutely unhinged nuclear states on power trips and declaring war on everyone.

As always, NOT LIKE THAT!

Interesting a new 2v2 fighting game called Saturday Am: Battle Manga  based on multiple black owned manga/comic creators and no thread on it from Mr.Black Excellence Analyzer Neoxon. I guess it don't count if it's not begging for scraps from Japanese or whites.

He's got his hands full elsewhere running defense for, uh...the competitive smash community...

Right, there's no good reason for the many decent folks of the competitive community to catch strays because of a few shitheads (however prolific they may be).

Wise words. One must never judge a community by its...most visible, admired, and closely identified members?

[Boredfrom]

Nothing speaks to the decline of gaf/era quite like the absence of posts about the new Kojima video game. Really? No meltdowns or crying over highly rendered feet or whatever?

Burka thread is debating if the game is misogynistic or Kojima went woke because influencers like Laura Kate likes the female characters.

They didn't have a thread about the "Africans rob museums" game either. I can forgive RE being overly woke but I can't forgive them not being woke enough 

[Boredfrom]

Serious question. Are you in high school? Do you not know literally anything that happened during the Obama presidency?

[Boredfrom]

The HamasEra are now bitching about hardliners are taking more control of Iran and is all the west fault… remember how they never say this with Israel hardliners taking more control after a terrorist attack. Is almost like they are biased for certain theocracy.  

“Iran hardliners are taking over because the west.”  

“Israel has no right to defend itself, Zionist scum.”

[benji]

It's fascinating that they consider themselves learned and worldly complex thinkers but can't remotely tease out that many of the US's actions in the Middle East are done with the support and in the interests of other Middle Eastern nations. And that part of this does keep Israel in check because the US acts instead of them. That Iran/Hezbollah/Hamas isn't "on their side" because it operates outside of this stability.

Like all their commentaries on social relations it breaks down once you start to introduce more variables than one or two like people's skin color or gender.

Neoxon only cares about black characters showing up in Nintendo/other Japanese games and nothing else.

This whole thing has seemed bizarre since the story started coming out yesterday. Did the man not think Disney land staff would realise what he was doing and call the police?

Disney theme parks have better security and protocol than the white house. People have had "medical incidents " and some died JUST outside park property

Somebody just made the worst Roman Polanski joke:

Never knew Roman Polanski was 39 and British.

I mean, they don't have real medical facilities, so they have to take people outside the park. Presumably it's best to take such a person past the parking lot too since that's where emergency services would come easiest. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case at all theme parks.

The Florida park might be different since they own and operate the township equivalent, it might be designed for emergency vehicle access better.

They're not lost, they're just liberal. I don't know why people are expecting significant opposition from them against a fascist regime. Like, when has that ever historically happened????

Unless we stretch the definition of both "significant opposition" and "fascist regime" then we're not going to find anyone we should expect it from.

Okay, but Jeff, not drinking so much at Nintendo game events would cut down on incidents which is surely the goal no?

Jeff has to delete this tweet since I'm posting it but that's admitting defeat to the Nazi:

If anything, this was leaked to influence and put pressure on Trump.

They very much lost the plot when it comes to mainstream media. As bad as the Maga folks.

Not that mainstream media is infallible but to completely dismiss it while relying on random social media accounts is idiotic

Why would NBC News lay off such an important mind?

I saw a bunch of ex-military and intelligence people on various YouTube videos before the strikes saying that using the bunker buster bombs was pointless because they wouldn't destroy the sites….color me shocked.

So now you've pissed off Iran to the point where you know they're going to pursue a nuclear weapon now and your "deterrent" didn't even get the job done….BRAVO

Now. Because they were not doing it before.

While US B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen of the bombs on two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex, the bombs did not fully eliminate the sites’ centrifuges and highly enriched uranium, according to the people familiar with the assessment.

Instead, the impact to all three sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — was largely restricted to aboveground structures, which were severely damaged, the sources said. That includes the sites’ power infrastructure and some of the aboveground facilities used to turn uranium into metal for bomb-making.

Okay, so assuming some Iranian didn't put that one piece of metal at an angle to deflect the bombs, next time you just drop two dozen. Or three dozen. Until you find the right amount of them.

Ironically, this is great proof that a lot of these people's concerns about nuclear power is stupid. You can drop a dozen of these fucking things and not blow up the dangerous components. Something experts have been trying to tell people for years regarding the safety of nuclear power but they just yell about Chernobyl and demand less and more polluting energy supply instead.

[Boredfrom]

You know what.

Fine.

Let his administration believe in their alt-reality.

So long as it prevents more bombings in the near future.

Is your security apparatus, my dude, you want it as accurate as possible.  

Everyone probably told him that was not going to be enough, but he decided because Bibi promised him the sky. He going delusional is precisely the reason why people need truthful information.

Hey, clearly they built uranium facilities that are so heavily shielded they're even protected from bunker buster bombs because they never intended to build a nuke

[Potato]

i know where one went

Yeah you became what you can’t get.

I don't think that makes men that way, I think it allows men to be that way by scapegoating their issues onto something else. Typically women. I struggle to reconcile why men's behaviour is so profoundly affected by society 'beating down' on them when other groups society actively targets don't suffer the same fate.

The question of 'where to meet people' is a difficult one as in my experience it's so tied to your charisma and how at ease you are talking to random people. I'm fortunate, and don't take for granted, that I find it easy to connect with people wherever I am. I've never found it hard to find a meaningful relationship and still haven't been on a date with a random person from an app or similar. I'm currently in a relationship with someone I met while supporting a friend, I wasn't even looking for it (in fact, more the exact opposite). I contrast that with one of my best friends who's suffered with social anxiety and awkwardness his entire life, and the gap between our experiences with dating/relationships is a canyon. It simply wasn't possible for him to find and act on those same opportunities. Appreciate it can be taken as a brag but ironically I'm sure I'd completely fail on apps because while I'm super at ease finding connection wherever irl, my confidence in anything 'me' online is drastically lower.

You're circling something I do think contributes toward toward at least current male loneliness. Boys often aren't raised to build real community with one another. It may seem like it superficially with 'bros' but all too often – due to toxic norms – it's too shallow and not a real safety net for when they're experiencing difficulties and insecurities. Naturally not a blanket trueism as strong bonds between friends can be fostered, but it's not as much of a necessity (nor taken as seriously at large) as other groups needing to find community and organisation to tangibly confront the ways in which society targets them. I think this both leads men to feeling isolated when they grow older and those relationships fray and fade, and the inverse where they find the validation of communities like those build up around Tate and the like appealing as it's giving them something they felt they've lost (or perhaps never had).

This fucking cunt sure does like to speak about shit like this when they handed back their man card to become high femme, they’re so fucking insufferable.

Absolutely. If he's "always been a woman" how does he know what it's like being a man?

lol shut up.  What a dumb generalization.  There are fraternal networks among men that build community that aren't "toxic" or "superficial".  There are structured, emotionally supportive communities that men lean on during divorce, job loss, grief, mental-health or other crisis and are anything but shallow. It's just that people fall by the wayside and, as you’ve already conceded, you find it hard to extend empathy to those who have fallen through the cracks, a stance that risks deepening their isolation.  Men are not cartoon characters that just produce machismo, floor-punching idiocy everywhere they go.   In every case where empathy is helpful, you people disregard it, and use it as a cudgel to demonize people in all other cases.  You people are so morally confused and unhelpfully generalize so often it's insane.

How the hell can you say this:

I struggle to reconcile why men's behaviour is so profoundly affected by society 'beating down' on them when other groups society actively targets don't suffer the same fate.

  

And then speak so confidently and authoritatively about the issues facing men.  You just said you struggle to understand it.

Empathy matters. If the broader culture frames isolated men as inherently defective or dangerous in ways you "can't reconcile" you risk deepening their alienation.  It's that simple and it works that way with everything - extremist politics, too.  Any solution that works for other marginalized groups - affirmation, outreach, and non-judgmental support - should be extended to men as well.  Stop being a fucking divisive cunt for no reason.  There's no reason to say "well, i have no idea why these people are struggling, they should be fine."  When that solves nothing and issuing blame to them takes the pressure off of you to act like a fucking human being.   Men are not uniquely fragile and don't have "unique" toxic elements to their communities.  The high male suicide and homelessness rates should underscore the point that this mentality isn't helpful.

Boys are introduced to team sports at a much higher proportion than girls you fucking retard. What is a team sport other than a community/support network. 

If you want to know why men are falling to pieces in the current generation, it's because the current generation are primarily shut-ins who sit on PCs and video games and decide they're all depressed, anxious and trans.

These fuckers, again, can't separate themselves from the bullshit statistics and fatwas they make up.

To bring it back to Cauli saying we don't understand and nobody need explain, I've read hundreds of trans people (maybe thousands?) talking about gender. It's all like Kyuuji. Their own absent of any nuance stereotypes about gender, 96+% of which are misogynistic, that they project onto everyone else as if it's factual rather than something all in their head.
