User Banned (1 Week): Ableist Rhetoric

So I take it there is no formal requirement that a speaker also has to be a member of Congress to be eligible?

Nope, there isn't. But the idea of Trump being Speaker is smooth-brain stuff. It's the type of thing Rachel Maddow would extol as a possibility in a strained, 40-minute long segment explaining how it's technically possible and has something resembling historical precedent while ignoring or at least downplaying the roughly 0% chance of happening.

Are you paying? Because 320k mp3 for Premium is indistinguishable from lossless.

Spotify actually uses ogg, which is even higher quality than mp3.

I'm using high end gear and Spotify audio quality is shit. Yes 24bit audio is overkill but the point here is that it's gonna be much better than the trash they're streaming now.

The only scenario in which Spotify has "trash" audio quality is if your head is so far up your own ass that you're at a high risk of vitamin D deficiency.

The massively overwhelming majority of people (including self-proclaimed audiophiles) could never distinguish between 320 kbps .ogg and a lossless format.

I'm the only one who does housework, and I have to use what little time I have off doing it. A couple of days ago, I was so tired after work I could barely walk straight. I start pulling clothes out of the dryer and felt like I might faint and just wanted to cry.

I've had a really tough week, but still came home yesterday, and did some clothes and made dinner. I worked 13 hours tonight, and.. I come home and pick up their trash, which is full because they can't even be bothered to take it out.

I'm constantly asking if they need or want something. There's no way I'd let my wife work that many hours and not ask what she wanted for dinner when she got home. Me? I don't get so much as an acknowledgment from my daughter, and my wife is planted on the couch with her ipad. I'm done to 148 ibs, I don't look well, and no one can ask me if I'd like something to eat.

I don't know what the point of this is, but I'm just so depressed. They know I'm overwhelmed and exhausted, and they just don't give a shit.

[benji]

Stop doing the housework if they won’t listen. Do only the amount for yourself to get by. Let the laundry pile up, let the dishes pile up, let the trash over flow and don’t cook anything or make any food for them.

Stop doing any housework but your own. Only your clothes, dishes, etc. Eat before getting home, let them figure out the food for themselves. Do not fold on this. When they complain, point them to do their share. They don’t help out because they KNOW you’ll do it anyway. DO. NOT. FOLD.

Stop cleaning. Wash your own clothes and that’s it.

well if you’ve talked to them time to stop talking and stop doing shit for them to.

If they don’t care about your well being what’s the point of working so hard for them?

Considering you've expressed ill feelings regarding your wife 5 years ago, it seems like this is a long rooted problem with the family dynamic. You really should consider family/couples therapy, and should have quite a long while ago as indicated by feelings such as:

I don't get crushes, but I get jealous looking at some other men's wives when they're fit, classy or well-dressed and think about my, dumpy sad sack of a wife.

Ah, remember the days when they called Scorsese a gatekeeper, a man who has done tons of work to release foreign movies internationally and was thanked by the director of Parasite during his Oscar speech

Sorry to be a chad, but fuck, 148 lbs?  Stop posting and tell your fat fuck of a wife to do something.

JFC 99.99% of the "advice" threads on era boil down to these people just growing a spine - or at least saying no.

It's honestly really sad.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Wife and daughter thread appears to be nuked. Probably didn't help that an admin (fan of TERF LEGACY no less) poured fuel on the fire!

[Rendle]

Not that i'm looking for them or amything but where are these beheading/throat-slitting videos everyone keeps talking about?

[Uncle]

you have to remember that everyone at era is terminally online, so they're coasting around the shock video subreddits and following a million twitter people who post these, and since they're constantly refreshing the page they see them before they're taken down for being too graphic

[benji]

They have to do that to keep up to date on the chuds and be safe.

[Rendle]

Also:

Honestly this might be what Hamas are going for here. They're going to get fucked up massively in the process, but pushing Israel over the edge into full blown autocracy/theocracy could work out for them in the long run. Autocracies think they're strong but they're not, they're corrupt and fragile. It might take a couple of decades but look at the long term effects 9/11 have had on the US, you could argue it's still in the process of falling apart as a response.

Yeah, 9/11 went just great for al Qaeda, all their plans are falling into place now twenty years later. Just a couple more decades and they'll really have the United States right where they want them.

Claims of historical narrative analysis that are ahistorical and rely on the parochialism of the author lose their power completely. But I expect nothing less from a Canadian with a PhD in modern English drama who wrote a massively stupid book. Notice that at no point does he ever even mention al Qaeda's goals.

Targeting random civilians for murder, rape, and kidnapping is not, in any universe, a legitimate action of self defense.

It may not be a legitimate act of self defense but to people who have seen their civilian neighbors murdered, bombed, sniped and violently displaced it's not clear why they would take the moral high ground. Again, that's not a defense of the actions of Hamas, but everyone seems to be acting like attacking civilians is a line being crossed when it's absolutely not. That genie left the bottle a long time ago and Israel has continued to rack up civilian deaths continuously. Why would Hamas care about what are and aren't legitimate forms of defense given the illegitimate conditions of violence in Gaza? Like, what are people actually expecting?

Why is Mezentine not banned?

[Boredfrom]

My point is entirely about what specifically happened today. I'm not trying to mount a moral or legal defense of anything, because I think Hamas' actions today are indefensible on every level, moral and strategic. I'm simply asking, again, when people grow up in an open air prison watching civilians get murdered and bombed around them how exactly do we expect them to behave in retaliation? Events are contingent and history is continuous, how did we get to the point where today was possible?

Not rape and mass murder? Since they complain about mass murder and disregard of civilians by the IDF…

Same as everyone else: like moral human beings.

Remember all those threads where you're constantly all wondering "why can't people just not be racist/transphobic/against MCU entries/etc."? Why can't Hamas just not use violence?

"But but but but Israel is using violence." So? Morals are not contingent on the immoral actions of others.

[HaughtyFrank]

As a Québécois I understand perfectly what it's to be a second class citizen in your country.

You have to learn English and the Anglo-Saxon culture while the rest of your country barely gives two shits about your culture and traditions, let alone trying to learn French.

But I really don't know what to think about all this.

All Western democracies have shown their support to Israel, and those with Palestine are countries that are mostly dictatorships.

I don't know, I just hope there is peace one day in the region.

It's telling that the trans genocide thread got less engagement than this hamas one. A little dehumanizing that the trans plight is ignored by so many so called cis allies.
