I unfortunately watched half of it yesterday. Not only did I learn afterwards that my click is boosting a rotten channel, but the fucking thing gave me a nightmare.

I assume because of all the racist anti-immigrant nonsense from the "my family has been here since the 1500s" chud, I had a nightmare my car was impounded by the local branch of fascists in some not so far off dystopian future. I had to keep telling the teenage ROTC clerk which state I was born in and when because my file was flagged as "brown person". Felt awful.

wow, stay safe

Not even in his dreams is he safe from fascist America 
 
stay safe, guys.

Silver was ranting about "twitter freaks" stopping her from playing the terf game. She knows exactly what she wanted to say.

That’s why she deserved the death threats and being harassed. 

Let the Harry Potter shit go for once, you scumbags.

You know what the worst thing about ozzy dying is?

It's not the loss of a legend, nor the change of the era.

It's that every fucking station is playing shitty ozzy songs and I can't get away from them.

Unironically posted on ree-

certainly don't think bringing up the deeds of the man is out of bounds. If we're being quite honest here, that was basically a great deal of his legacy. A lot of his appeal was watching the non-stop train wreck that was his life - even though the reality was that he was a man that needed a lot of help and lived the kind of rock n' roll lifestyle that largely held people unaccountable for decades

But when some people just take it upon themselves to do a drive by along the lines of saying "lol good, I hope he's burning in hell" or something along those lines, I'm not quite sure what the people doing this hope to get out of it. Other than maybe their requisite good boy points. And I sure hope the people doing this haven't enthusiastically put their money towards people and things that have caused (and continue to cause) real world harm, otherwise that might start to make things a little awkward.

 User banned (1 month): Minimizing concerns of antisemitism

And yet I bet the Gamergate/Sweet Baby Inc haters who ridicule censorship stays silent on this.

Like "anti-semitism", its code words for "promote authortarianism via crushing dissent".

Not dismissing concerns completely just minimising them.

For me, that scene where it's not entirely clear that Adrian consents holds it back from being a landslide frontrunner. I still have it at the second-best in the series, but I have to deduct points that keeps it from being #1.

I demand perfectly moral characters that align with modern sensibilities in my 50 year old movie!

 User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling in sensitive thread. Account in junior phase

this video is so stupid. whoever mehdi is, he cannot help himself from speaking over people rather than formulating a clear reply. he doesn't let anyone speak. i get that a debate is to present & argue opposing views but maybe by doing it effectively he could actually persuade or convince people. its pathetic. the right wing people in this video are obviously frustrating for their trite, shortsighted, radical. and uninformed views but there's nothing being done here except this idiot punching down.

What a ridiculous ban. How do three mods vote on making this a perm when it’s not even disagreeing with the argument?

Only 70 posts. Unworthy of a three mod panel

FWIW, Shannan has said the internet misquoted him on Reed. He was talking about moments of Reed leading the Avengers in the comics, not the upcoming movie

https://www.resetera.com/threads/spoilers-the-leader-of-the-avengers-in-doomsday-is.1245714/

Reed god damn Richards.

I don't think he's leading the Avengers.

If you want to wallow in misery & negativity and only talk about how problematic and shitty the deceased is, make a separate thread for it and others with a like mind can join you there.

Just have some tact.
Going into the comment section of a memorial post and saying "Fuck them, I'm glad they're dead" is weirdo stuff.

I don't disagree but the fact that none of the mods stepped in so far should tell you all you need to know about the kind of website and community this is.

I don't know, I think it's just an unexplored avenue of moderation policy and that in general the community is great and the moderators do an excellent job. I imagine the community and the moderation team could have a pretty constructive conversation about this and come up with a solution if we all got together in good faith. Nobody is saying that people don't have a point about Ozzy being a deeply flawed man, I think it's just a matter of where to put that discussion in a moment like now. Seems solvable to me!

It has been nearly 8 years and most people still don't know what the moderation policies are. Including the staff.

Unfortunately for them, Avalanche Software is a pretty good developer and it's almost certain that Hogwarts Legacy 2 will be a great sequel with lots of cool new stuff added as well as feedback from the first game being addressed. Any hope of the game flaming out is a pipedream. It will  be in the headlines nonstop as soon as it's revealed.

I truly do wonder if they're going to have another mass freakout when that game comes out. Era isn't the whole internet, so they can't sic their pet mods on random streamers at will

It's really not that far-fetched to imagine the US oligarchs are done with Trump now that the BBB has passed and the 2017 tax code changes have been extended. They got what they needed and his usefulness is over. A lot of this Epstein "news" is old -- it's just being amplified by the people in power to cause turmoil for Trump.

This is the epitome of let_them_fight.gif

Strictly speaking, it was Trump himself the one that amplified this just by mishandling it so bad. I know ERA has the memory of a goldfish but why they don’t remember how many of his controversies are of his own making?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-we-all-agree-that-epstein-was-likely-running-a-mossad-op.1251585/

What do we know:

- Alex Acosta, the US Attorney who gave Epstein that absurd 2008 plea deal, said he was told "Epstein belongs to intelligence" and to leave it alone.

- Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence operative, claimed Epstein was running a honeytrap-style operation to get kompromat for Mossad.

- One of Epstein's victims said he openly told her he was working for Mossad before abusing her.

- His wealth was dodgy at best. Apparently some came from Leslie Wexner, some from Leon Black, but no one's ever properly explained how/why he amassed hundreds of millions of dollars for some advisory work.

- He had connections at the highest levels (Clinton, Prince Andrew, etc.), and still got away with everything for years.

- Circumstances around his death are suspicious as fuck. Especially Trump's 180 on what happened and what needs to be made public.

No smoking gun, no declassified proof. But it lines up with how these ops work.

No, we're not doing a straight up conspiracy theory thread.

Then man up and moderate your shit forum. Some asshole at TrumpLovesEpstein thread was pussyfooting about “it was the Zionists, you guys.”

Look at this shit, BDumbs:

Epstein + Heart Failure --> their (our?) one last path out.

They'll get JD Vance, which means Thiel will be running everything, but the best we can hope for his gridlock and the last vestiges of capable bureaucracy holding on for dear life. Obviously I'm fantasizing but I'm not sure what else we have left.

There's already many Facebook groups for women called "Are we dating the same guy?". The groups also warn women of stalkers, creeps and potential rapists. My wife is on one and tells me lately it's being used to ask if certain men in our town are single or not. Basically if they are worth pursuing. I appeared in it from a woman that was at the same bar as me last year and just wanted to know if I was single and if anyone had my contact info.

Hopefully his wife fulfilled her civic duty by informing the anonymous whisper network women that, in addition to being married, he is also cousins with a triple-murderer.

The dating scene is dangerous for women, y’know!

We're in a new puritan era.

Folks have no idea just how bad it's going to get as media orgs continue to fold for right wing freaks like these.

[kaleidoscopium]

Clarification:
The people need a mechanism for removing and replacing politicians that refuse to do their jobs that doesn't require waiting 4 years and doesn't require a majority of other politicians to agree to prevent partisan gridlocking of the system.

We need some method of forcing impeachment votes that doesn't require waiting for other politicians to put forth the motions.

Meanwhile ree is about to go red alert -

I just heard about this app today lol.

A person on my team at work is talking to a girl, and she said she saw him on it.
So he freaked out and asked other girls on our team to confirm, and they couldn't find anything. Turns out the girl was lying to him about it just to see his reaction.
Now he is like deathly afraid she is going to put him on there if he tries to ghost her for being an asshole.
