And this, RIGHT HERE, my friends, is why we'll never have a game with an explicit political statement or manifestation of ideology. Nothing more than some subtle cues is what we'll get, both here and in China.

But we have freedom of expression, right?

This was 2019, just imagine how bad it's gotten here since then.  

Great post on previous page:

User Banned (permanent): Lionizing dictatorship; previous severe infractions

Xi is an authoritarian garbage human, so this dig at him is great.

Also him using the levers of power in China to censor or punish people for comparing him to Pooh Bear is Trump-tier thinness of skin. So pathetic.

President Xi is probably going to be acknowledged as the best dictator/president of today modern world in the history book.
Honestly, more world leaders need to follow his example.
His style of government is so efficent.
High production across every industry, low on corruption due to the high risk of losing all the good side benefits of being an official, and technology advancement that rivals the US.

There might be a little minority that doesn't like his policy due to censorship and jailing people over freedom of speech and press, but overall, he has improved every aspect of Chinese life in term of wealth, education, and health.
Giving up a bit of freedom isn't that bad if the whole country will be the #1 ranked country in the world in the next decade.

And the best part is that their social credit program is working.
Everyone is more friendly, more respectful, less drug and gambling addicts roaming around, less divorce and family abandonment, and more likely to donate to good social causes to increase their score.
People with bad score can't buy ticket to events or express/VIP pass on train/airfare.
Just think about it, how awesome would it be to know that you are sitting next to a good person on an airplane, knowing that they won't go crazy or steal your stuff?

And beside, China only cracks down on political freedom of speech.
I mean, if the Chinese government is running efficiently, able to provide high paying jobs, and social welfare benefits for the disabled/retired, I wouldn't care if I lose my ability to vote or freedom of speech.

This kind of ban from the centrist cis libs is exactly why both leftists and Asians have been leaving in droves. Even an intellectual progressive voice like Hasan Piker would probably be banned for recognizing that China is the ideal model for the United States. Yet people will still try to claim that Era is a progressive forum instead of right-wing.

Completely expected all the libs and chuds that dominate the forum to claim they're left-wing. Don't expect the staff to keep the forum safe and do anything about the 89 people who have said they're straight up fash looking for victims.

Imagine posting on a forum where at least 4 in 10 posters say they're fine with fascism built on Black oppression. Perfect example of the contradictions being amplified by the current paradigm.

[Shecky Fragbaum]

How do they expect the new system, once the old one is all burnt down by disposable allies, to facilitate a utopia without the involvement of some sort of intelligent automation? 


Psh, more like Non-Starter Trek.

So I've always shared my account with my mother. She mostly watches linear TV, but likes Netflix too.

Netflix cracked down on password sharing, so I just said, I'd buy an extra seat--the family sharing garbage they instituted a few years ago.

However, she calls saying she's signed out of Netflix. I did some troubleshooting during Thanksgiving, which she hosted, and then some Googling. So, let me get this straight, Netflix cracked down on password sharing. OK. But they added an option of adding another member, but that member has to be your physical household? WTF? This makes no sense at all.

I guess my account didn't have this flag setup until recently since I never had issue. Guess they caught to me.

However, this is completely different from family sharing plans I used with other services. I share stuff with my brother, he's also another physical household but those services don't care--it's a family plan.

I am correct or missing something? I just find this super anti-consumer if true. I've never seen family plan services be so snoopy.

How the hell is a bot troubleshooting this?

Serious post. I had this same message last night on my iPad. I regular take it with me across America and Japan. You need a code every 14 days or something. Or to connect to your “primarily” household once a month. 

Between it and Amazon introducing ads, the whole convenience aspect of streaming gets muddled. Piracy becomes attractive again. And not just for the mutual jack off with an AI animu lady pop up ads.

They just won't bring it up

Exactly. It's not on r/conservative. They will just ignore it as it doesn't fit the narrative.

Like how they have mentioned Nex Benedicts' father coming out as trans.

A quick check tells me Vladimir Putin's got an approval rating of 89% and approval of military action in Ukraine is 78% in Russia. I wouldn't be too surprised if those numbers are doctored, but I do think it illustrates the point that I also don't really have any reason to believe that the civilians who would be inconvenienced by Steam pulling out of Russia wouldn't primarily be supporters of the Ukraine war.

imagine being this fucking retarded. as if basically every statistic about the Russian government isn't completely falsified.

I'm curious how this hero would have protested against someone like Poetin of Stalin

[Nintex]

Well that's probably what his approval rating will be like soon anyway.

Also why is Steam directly doing business in Russia.

This thread and its OP needs to be banned. As Lord Dubs has taught us, lists and rules are rigid tools (down Filler) that can be weaponized and exploited by bad actors, such as those on hate site, The Bire. They need to follow their mods example and just make the shit up as they go.

Seems like the old manga has historical importance. ProtoYaoi you could say.

Still funny that is singled out as “pro queer" rather than “influential”.

I mean… Amazon somehow made a worse Dub without english voice actors.  

That is an achievement.
