Dude, I just explained it to you… even Uncle understood what I was saying.

I was under the impression that you were saying he was wrong

Nintex or clockwork? 

Also, no backsies:

but nintex never said he doesn't then verify that everything AI is telling him is correct, nowhere is that implied

do you really want to continue to divert this thread into the minutia of who said what endlessly

you said clockwork was wrong, then started saying your whole point was that nintex was wrong, to which my reply was meant to say ok, even if all you were doing was responding to nintex, even that response was rooted in reading into his words to something he never implied, he never said he wasn't double checking what he got from AI

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

all this over some dirty wirebacks..

Don’t think I’m not noticing how you refuse to say “he is hiring a lawyer” to double check. 

If you argue that Nintex has the knowledge to do it for himself, without another person help, I agree to disagree.

Today is a slow day on Era. Sigh... this is what happens when leftists go on shooting sprees, everyone goes quiet.

Thing is, as of the latest episode, nazis got involved in the story
Ever since this twist came out, some people pointed out that the dance choreography has the arms kinda looking like a swastika, as a small foreshadowing of the plot,
Don't get me wrong, there isn't any endorsement of hateful ideas in the show, in fact, there is a lot of nazi-killing in it...
But that doesn't exclude the fact that the emote can now be seen as a swastika gesture, which has a lot of negative potential, which makes me wonder if Epic should remove or alter it

Every now and then I have to remind myself these people are outliers so I can stay optimistic about humanity.

I've got bad news for your feelings for humanity

[Boredfrom]

That is so stupid from Epic.  

They essentially throwing a business partner under the bus because some idiots at the Internet. 

Gamers making up stuff, and getting the emote banned is pretty funny.

Can't form accidentally the letter H with your arms anymore without people see a swastika.

Ridiculous

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

good. John Cena should be removed from all consoomable products. His support for Vince is disgusting and Era's love for him really makes me give them the side eye.

If they aren't already, operations of Era need to fairly quickly move outside of the US. And it won't be long before forums like this are blocked by US-based ISPs.

Gonna be real, reading more into this: it's targeted specifically at activist groups and charities. It's not about individuals.

Which isn't much better, but is slightly less terrifying than what is in the OP.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/politics/trump-memorandum-probes-groups-aiding-political-violence

But Trump did later single out prominent liberal donors George Soros and Reid Hoffman as people he's "hearing" about, remarks that are likely to intensify fears the memorandum will be used to investigate Trump's political opponents.

This is less about people like us and more about setting up a framework to allow him to start going after his political opponents.

Basically, while this is terrifying and incredibly bad, it's not quite what the article in the OP paints it as.

Era can barely get out of bed in the morning and cry about having to work outside of the home. Y'all aint a threat to anyone.

Except Noodlesoup. Bro actually spent a night in jail for his beliefs.

It's easy to see how one leads to the other, though.

Take Twitch, for example. If Amazon feels any inclination that the Feds could investigate them for supporting trans people because it offers streamers an "LGBTQIA+" tag or for allowing Hasan Piker on the platform, in fear that those streamers or their viewers may discuss anti-Trump and thus by extension 'domestic terrorism' sentiment, Amazon may be pressured into denying such people such privileges.

Same with ISPs. Any fear from an American company that they may be threatened with prosecution for permitting 'domestic terrorism' via their services may result in preventative measures against a forum like ResetEra.

And individuals seen to be working around those avenues will be next in line.

The point I'm making is there's enough to be afraid of as is, we don't need to listen to fearmongers looking for clicks.

I apologize for posting this article about this directive Trump signed. I was trying to alert people about this.

See? Y'all buckle at even the smallest pushback. Y'all aint leaders of any vanguard.

Did I say you need to apologize? Hell no I didn't.

My point is that there's a lot of people out there looking to make a buck off our collective fear and we need to watch out for that.

I'm saying this is less "minority report," as the article in the OP posits, and more Trump finding an excuse to go after his political enemies.

Trust me, if this was going to affect all of us here I'd be contacting Moba and ensuring we were insulated.

This is Trump finding an excuse to go after George Soros. We aren't at Stalin sending randos to the gulags for what they said in the coffee shop just yet. He's not even at the point where he can lock up the people running against him, he's not Putin just yet.

I'm not saying don't be afraid, I'm saying our fear needs to be based in fact or we risk silencing ourselves out of needless fear. Speak out, go protest, make your voice heard. We still have that right, it hasn't been taken from us just yet so be sure you use your voice while you have it.

can we all just get back to posting hog?

What a mighty fine boar of the 4th/5th/6th year you got there.

Once again, nobody ever used those categories to describe wild pigs.

Deja vu...again.

[El Derpo]

I’m not surprised that Lawyers are using AI to find cases showing precedent. I’m sure that some lawyers will get caught out by coming up with precedence from made up cases, but when precedence is cited they are required to identify what judgement and case. This isn’t some uni assignment, people will get in serious trouble for this.

Imagine the reputational damage to a firm if one of their clients loses a case because their $1000/h lawyer was using ChatGPT.

If Google search wasn’t so completely broken due to a combination of uber SEO, bot written trash and an increasingly poisoned search well, lawyers would just use that.

There aren't significant raw materials here compared to, like, Africa or South America, and besides, manufacturing and agriculture are for the poor/non-white countries.

Perhaps one day we will find some kind of 'new world' filled with abundant resources and sparsely populated that these african countries can exploit

[Nintex]

Perhaps one day we will find some kind of 'new world' filled with abundant resources and sparsely populated that these african countries can exploit

That is actually happening in the artic. The icebears and penguins are waddling on a tremendous oil, gas, rare earths and mineral supply deep under the melting ice. That's why the Trump hedgefund wants Greenland.

“Yes hello, Tim Epic? This is Tim WB here. I heard you had a question for me… The intention of our emote??? Why it was to show support for the Fourth Reich, the extermination of inferior races, and the efforts to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children. Why, is there some problem?”

[HaughtyFrank]

Give a month to see if republicans adopt it or not (already seen some shitty "just look how nice and clean that world is" hot takes some places). Then maybe.

"The intend of the emote doesn't matter, all that matters is if my enemies adopt it"

Also I'd say it's actually a fair question to ask why the Nazi world looks like a peaceful utopia.
I'm sure Gunn will reveal some ugly underbelly but equating a nice suburban environment with Nazis can easily backfire.

[DavidCroquet]

Holy fuck Fortnite is infested! Shut it all down, now!!!

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

for those that can’t tell the difference, this is the monster mash emote that has been in fortnite for a long ass time.

[Uncle]

Imagine the reputational damage to a firm if one of their clients loses a case because their $1000/h lawyer was using ChatGPT.

but they don't lose a case "because they were using chatgpt," they lose a case for insufficiently researching the validity of the cases they're citing, which also happened plenty of times before chatgpt

"imagine the reputational damage [...] because their $1000/h lawyer was using google"

"was using wikipedia"

"was using a book authored by a crackpot"

etc.

Love that B-Dubs doesn't know enough to actually talk his forum down because he believes the same stupidity they do.

He should have told BowieZ to shut the fuck up because this isn't how the law, any law works. You don't just go "talking about the gays huh, that's a terrorism, shut it down boys!" I know this is how Era thinks law works because it's how they want law to work, you find the magical words and can do anything you want, but it's not how actual law works. It's not how terrorism designations work, it's not how anything works. Nothing in BowieZ's scenario is a reasonable interpretation of any federal law at all and Amazon/ISPs high-priced lawyers aren't stupid enough to believe it if AI tells them so.

And this is where Era, or some of our posters, would say something like "what does the law matter? Nazis will just ignore it, pollute Fortnite and the Supreme Court approves it al!" Okay, so then why are you upset about this designation then? You're already in that situation, this isn't "new information" that should change your freaking out.

Nothing Era posts is remotely illegal, B-Dubs should tell them this but he doesn't know it. And it'd be "dismissing concerns" for him to tell them they aren't targets for the international JewNazi conspiracy because they're all irrelevant.

I will also note that ISP's shutting down access to legal websites is something they cheered just three years ago when it was happening to a minor website they dislike.

[Boredfrom]

Problem is that regardless of the intent it will become a Nazi symbol in the game

Problem is that nobody associated it with that until wokies started to complain. 

Is kind of shitty how the discourse about the dance change when the woke squad come to the picture.

Even beyond that, I imagine that Epic's biggest concern with it is the characters from other IPs and real celebrities who can be made to do the dance.

 Especially when one of those other IP owners is Disney...

They'd be on something like this real fast.

The issue isn't wether or not the dance forms a literal swastika. There are other dances and poses with similar arm movements.

The issue is, the dance was specifically designed to invoke a swastika. So does the background grid wall in Peacemaker's opening. It's not supposed to be literal, it's meant to be uncanny and suggestive. In the context of the show, it's an ominous dogwhistle. Dogwhistles are meant to be ambiguous, not literal. Stripped of that narrative context, it would be used by chuds who spin that ambiguity into a pro-Nazi dogwhistle. You know the script: "I'm not a nazi, it's just a funny dance from the funny superhero show! You're irrational, you're nuts, you're the problem!"

[benji]

In case you forget you can't trust Democrats to stand up for marginalized people instead of caving into white supremacy and so should never support them for any reason:

Wouldn't this only happen if someone, I can't imagine who, was going around to them saying anyone doing it was a Nazi? You know, like people were doing to anyone making the okay sign.
