STAFF COMMUNICATION FOR JOANNE'S SUBJECTS

big fucking YOU CANT SEE THIS HAHA imgur pictures

thanks, Obama Imgur

Posting in here for greater visibility. I assume the imgur thing is temporary based around some kind of overreaction that will be reverted later this week once people actually discuss it. But if not I will turn on image uploads here at the very least for myself.

The Bire actually uses very little of its allocated server space, I just didn't want to have to ever watch this in terms of that or what people might be uploading. Having applied some actual thought about the size of our userbase and how many active threads we have, I mostly just need to look into if I can block it in PMs.

doesn't look like it

it was just a fucked error code before, they actually put up a knowledge base article now:
https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/41592665292443-Imgur-access-in-the-United-Kingdom

looks like UK can go fuck itself, and have to provide an ID card to do that as a double fuck you.

I said when they introduced the goonining licence the way we're handling this is absolutely too clinical or academic when it should just be a fucking ISP 'verified TRUE / FALSE' boolean flag for serving content.

We don't enforce local customs by posting a notice that every shop in the world has to tariifs in case they might want to ship it to the UK, you do it at the fucking border as it arrives if you dont want businesses all over the world to not just say "no fucking UK shipping then".

Same, I mentioned in the OP but one of the ships I follow and see regularly is Aerith x Tifa, a ship that has 0% happening, but many wlw still love regardless, for me it's ultimately wish fulfilment and where on the wlw side, lesbian and wlw women can show off what they'd love to see, hope to see and what type of romances they'd want. Though of course, you should say never say never because as a child I would never have believed that Velma and Arcee would come out as lesbians and they have, in part because of fans eventually becoming creatives in those works (So still hoping one day Street Fighter's Cammy comes out as a lesbian).

One thing I have noticed despite not engaging in most online shipping discussion that choice-based games often end up creating more debate, frustration and toxicity, either fans fan warring on which romance is the best/more "canon" or if the games end up making one romance more "legitimate" then the others. We saw a bad case of this last year with Life is Strange which I felt ended being even more vitriolic because of how important the first game was for many wlw gamers (and I admit that one stung me a bit as well). I feel that's a bit of a result of how a lot of VG wlw romances are choice based and not fixed canon ones, especially in the AAA space where outside of characters like Ellie and Aloy, I'm genuinely struggling of wlw characters that are fully out there and not just implied (subtle or VERY heavily like Pearl and Marina; and recently with SF6 with Marisa and Manon) or optional choice romances in RPGs. It's why I think V x Caitlyn has became such an important thing for a lot of wlw people I feel.

accelerationism is back on era it seems with users begging trump to end social security and medicare. Love it when privileged white people on a video game forum want the poor and old to suffer.

I have a strong feeling that mass civil unrest is coming soon. Trump and his fellow fascists have been preparing for it. Things are about to get really dark.

You start screwing around with people's money and that's when things will really kick off.

Exactly

But it's not their money?  

Uhh

Is... that not already happening? The shutdown has been unofficially ongoing since Musk took a sledgehammer to the Government.

 

Just preconditioning to justify removing the 60 vote threshold for laws. Cloture vote about to be outta here.

Should I dig up all the Era threads demanding this be done?  

It's kind of amazing to me how Trump can do stuff that's terrible to Americans, and despite him openly saying, "I'm giving the orders," people still blame Democrats. Somehow.

Literally 😭

I wish it was at least bannable here to do that in politics threads. The rest of America/the world just runs on hot takes, vibes and engagement, but here there should be some kind of reality-based standards.

 

Sadly, the control of information/social media bias algorithms makes it so 99% of his base (half of all americans) will never know or be told what to think before even knowing what has happened to them. Uninformed voters are the easiest to abuse/lie to.

The most future thinking scifi/dystopian writers (Orwell aside) couldn't have imagined the descent would be this simple and stupid

None of them, even Orwell, thought of social media.

 Have... have... you read 1984?

I have been happier and less disappointed by not underestimating the depths of stupidity of the average "citizen." They just don't give a shit, they are lazy, selfish, corrupt, and worthless.

If the Democrats actually hold the line on this and the shutdown occurs, Russell Vought is going to gut the federal government like a pig. That was the P2025 design all along, but it actually being done plunge us into some truly hideous events.

Even with a shutdown being necessary to expose just how bankrupt this administration and it's policies are, I don't think we're actually ready for the national consequences.

They are going to do that anyways. Hell they have been doing that anyways.

These dudes know that the government is going to spend more this year than ever, right? And that Trump is asking for a spending increase?

If we want to continue to live in a democratic society with all the freedoms and privileges that provides now is the time to fight. We are perilously close to losing it forever.

And I say that as someone with young children that will lose half my income as well as my healthcare. But I understand that we all stand to lose far more if we continue to standby and do nothing while Trump and his fascist allies destroy our country.

 

I legit wonder if Trump and republicans would pass a universal healthcare bill if it said that it only applied to white people and married white women. I suspect that if they could cut all social services for non-whites and single women, they absolutely would go down that path. Trump and his ilk are just complete fucking monsters.

No doubt about it. They'd still have plenty of other imaginary white grievances they could weaponize against minorities left to choose from.

If Social Security does get shutdown, it's genuinely over for this country. 70+ million people won't have money, millions will be kicked out of their homes on the street, becoming homeless, & we'd basically be in an economic death spiral that we'll be stuck in for decades to come. God I'm so fucking scared, especially considering I'm living at home right now + out of a job(the housing & job markets are rough these days) & the only source of income for my household ATM is my mother, who's on Social Security, since she's 65.

I love when they don't even read the stuff in the OP (which didn't specify that anything would be cut, just that cuts are possible) before they jump to literally shaking.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

One moment Clicky is dreading the end of trans life as they know it, the next they're demanding muslims, old folx, and the needy to die for them with social security cuts.

Who is the real republican here. 

[Boredfrom]

If he tries anything with the military against Canada it would be the end of the United States. Lots of soldiers would go AWOL, a large portion of the country would refuse to participate, and there would be physical/violent resistance. And that's not even taking into account the ferocity that Canadians would respond with.

Can we stop saying this? Americans (on average) and American soldiers would fall in line, they always do.

Especially since invasion would result in near instant American bloodshed and Canadians aren't going to care if you voted for Trump or not when our entire country is at risk.

There's no point in trying to pretend that the inner warmonger wouldn't take over for a portion of the American populace and the army that represents them, especially when the first American city burns.

Like, the resistance that's taking place against Trump when it comes to him impacting other Americans is pretty much ignored (despite the great work those people and their leaders are doing) - why would you care even more about another country?

Canada is not sending their best marketers.

[benji]

What is with their weird Canadian resistance terrorism fantasies?

Same dudes that were telling us Hezbollah was going to bring Israel to its knees if it tried to take them out.

These dudes have lived through two invasions of Iraq and have zero clue what a real American military staging for an invasion would look like. They think it's some small convoy of trucks driving through the border crossing and then wandering around Canada.

Those idiots really really want that civil war, but how would they survive in a country with no police protection. No power. No food sources. No health care. No internet.

Is impressive how Trump is clueless about the dictator playbook of actually trying to win the military loyalty.  

Is bizarre how paranoid ERA becomes about him pulling a coup when even many of his rioters aren’t that loyal to him.

they want to believe they live in nazi germany so hard so they can be freedom fighters and actually feel something as they sit with their comfy global north lives.

who am I kidding? They want brown and black folx to die for them because we all know Era wouldn't be fighting at all in a civil war, there would be an excuse to stay home and post on the internet about how they're like heckin andor. 

Wishing for black and brown deaths sum up Era well.

It's a strange fantasy because I imagine most of the resistance was killed and they never actually won.

I agree that Star Wars is the much better comparison from the events of history. The resistance won that time. (After billions upon billions of innocents were slaughtered.)
