  User Banned (2 Weeks): Homophobic Rhetoric

The people who make the decisions about whether or not to use generative AI don't read forum posts or social media criticism—but they do notice professional review scores, especially when it significantly impacts things like Metacritic. Reviewers penalizing AI usage like this is one of the few ways the public can push back.

Because lord knows some of yall will shove open AI's dick in your mouth if it's used to make a game you like.

Once again we have era mods denying women agency by assuming all references to sucking cock are homosexual in nature. Women love to suck dick too you fucking misogynists!

Long story short a friend of 10 years asked me to book a holiday for her and her husband as I know her my whole life I said sure I can help.



She paid it off weekly for 2 months but stopped it paying this week as she doesn't wanna go anymore and left me with a bill of €1600 there is nothing I can do.



I cannot go to small claims court either. I'm heartbroken I lost what I thought was a friend, used and scammed me and here is the best part I don't work due to my disability so that's me screwed I'll be paying it off over 1/2 years that's for sure.



Any money I had for my heating bill I won't be using I'll use that to pay some of it off. I won't be turning on my heating.



The holiday company said I can cancel the entire thing for €700. I don't have that kind of money either. I live on very little, when I explained about the bill she said I'm not paying anymore and when I said you can't leave with the bill she blocked me.



All I did was try to help someone in need. So this is your warning don't end up like me and if you're paying for someone get the entire payment upfront.



I'm going
 to bed to cry.

Wake up y'all it's time to eat

How sad is it that there's a non-zero chance trumpy has him arrested in the oval office.

...there's 0 chance of that happening. Idk why folks entertain thoughts like that.

Isn't having an open marriage retroactive? Like all the cheating you did beforehand is okay?

Man, this really sucks. I've literally worked since my parents forced me to in 7th grade. Worked at a cafeteria in college. Had summer jobs when I came home. Graduated 20 years ago and have advanced my career to the point where I had the best job I've ever had. And got laid off yesterday with the rest of my team. We were contractors, so of course, no severance pay.



I've spent all afternoon yesterday and all day today so far applying for jobs. The fucking Friday before Thanksgiving man, wtf. Already told the kids to not expect anything for Christmas this year. I've definitely made poor financial decisions in my life and have been working hard these last few years to pay that shit off. Finally made a dent this past year and paid off a decent amount of debt. Now I wish I would have put that money in savings, as in a month or two, I'm fucked. To top it off, my mortgage is going up 500 dollars next month because of taxes and my fucking microwave stopped working yesterday.



I couldn't tell you the last time I cried and I'm literally crying right now writing this. Like, man, I don't even know what to do.



Just venting. Thanks for listening.

Bet the rents made them mow the lawn and that somehow constitutes being shuffled into the workforce

“I experienced hardship, so the first thing I did was ruin my kids day.”

Just behavior befitting of a truly worthless person.

His property taxes went up an additional $6000 for the year? That almost twice what I pay. So he lives in a multimillion dollar house or he's another lying liar.

After some disbelief by other Resetards, we get some truth.

Taxes and insurance. In my case, insurance, because I made a claim for my roof last year. It's a fucking scam. Pay 3500 dollars a year every year for a decade, make one claim and get 4k out of damage costing 10k, and then premiums double. And other companies refuse to insure you because of a recent claim.

Nazi got banned from the politics subforum for a week:

User subforum banned (1 week): continuing derail

Anyone not voting for either candidate gets to be partly responsible for the 600,000+ deaths of people around the world caused by the USAID cuts alone. And that's just baseline.

This shit really needs to stop. Ridiculous.

Probably does sound like Downfall in the Oval Office.

Certainly giving me shades of Hitler's, "I should have executed all the high ranking generals like Stalin did" after receiving the news that he's totally fucked.

Been thinking of this episode a lot lately. "I'll never kill Hitler! I love Hitler and Hitler loves me!"
And
"Seems like when everyone hates you, you just become obsessed with creating rotten hitler clones."

Wow, just like my animes.

Any day that ol Donnie is clearly having a worse day than me, feels like a win.

Career in what though? Collecting grocery store carts? Returning glass bottles? Serving coffee? As usual ree is holding back vital information.

Financial Conscious ERA celebrates:

“Why are game budgets so big?”  

[Boredfrom]

24 hour long episodes at that level of production seems better spent money than what you see in a lot of expensive tv shows. As others point out Andor is basically 8 grown-ass man movies.

Maybe is well spent for the audience and fans (that by all accounts is not particularly big), but is horrible for the corpo.  

ERA bitches about corporations not being financially responsible unless is stuff they feel validated by.

 User banned (1 week): completely derailing the thread

Look, I don't mean to offend so please take this in the spirit that it's intended: you are using a personal definition of "leftist" to describe a set of positions more accurately described by the term "socialist". As a result, you are arguing at cross purposes with other people over semantics rather than anything substantive. If you were to say "this forum is not socialist" then at least we all be speaking the same language.

Socialism isn't the only form of anti-capitalism. And it isn't merely semantical. Like I said, people [in this thread] would have less headaches if they weren't convincing themselves that this somewhat progressive liberal/moderate forum was a leftist one. It's not a personal attack on anyone or even the forum itself. It just is.

I'd like to take this part of the culture back to Victorian times, when children were mostly ignored and left with a governess to be raised (note: most of my impression of Victorian child rearing comes from The Secret Garden).

ah yes, the victorian times of work houses, poor houses, chimney sweeps, and fucking child prostitution.

at least no one took their tiktok I guess

Yall do realize democrats in power want this too?

I've always thought it would be great to do just that. Set up an account which just posts old Nepenthe posts in political discussions and wait to see how long it takes to get banned (probably by Nepenthe).

Hundreds of thousands of deaths now, millions of deaths down the line thanks to DOGE cuts to places like USAID and the CDC. That's their legacy and everyone who worked for DOGE needs to be brought up on charges and imprisoned, up to and including Elon Musk. And that's the bare minimum.

I don’t like DOGE or Musk… but:
