Pretty much. The right will immediately jump and say he's a hardcore leftist when we know nothing about him. They'll probably have egg on their face when it turns out the attempted shooter doesn't really fit into any narrative they want. News will move on to the next thing and forget about this.

PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.

Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.

What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.

No damn security.

Not in transport.

Not in the hotel.

Not in the event.

Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.

Fuck, this genuinely sounds like an ERA post.  

“They don’t have security.”

I kind of feel sorry for the dude.

I'm shocked he didn't start quoting Andor which has almost exactly the same line about the empires arrogance. He probably felt like a superhero until he smacked into the ground

If you can't draw the line at pedophilia, where do you draw the line

People can draw that line, as long as it isn't an athlete, artist, actor, etc that they grew up with and are still nostalgic for. I bet there will be a lot of people that will defend this, and will also be fully against let's say the inevitable Bill Clinton biopic.

Megan got a whole army of lesbians online willing to kill for her (and currently begging her to date a woman next time lol) myself included.


On a more serious note, I just feel so fucking awful for her. She keeps going through so much shit and then gets even more shat on whenever she reveals it to the public. She seemed to be so deeply in love with Klay too, and seemed so ready and eager to settle down with him that this must have been such a blow.

Also some of the posts in this thread stink. Why the fuck are some of you seriously trying to "rate" her? Men ain't shit.

[Uncle]

is "thee" supposed to be a name like theo

or is she trying to say "megan the stallion" and intentionally misspelled it to be cute and quirky and weird

or is it meant in the traditional "thee thou" sense in some inscrutable way

In only a few comments they started going from "It's just too risky for me to press red" to actively getting mad at how many people were pressing blue.

This is probably the funniest thing to me because red voters have no personal risk within the bounds of the election. So what are they mad about?

That's kinda because people have been running around and calling them sociopaths, accusing them of not caring about other people, or straight up accusing them of bigotry. I mean, yeah, if people do that then naturally they'll push back pretty hard.

So it's kind of rude to do this, but after looking up their post history the likely explanation is the OP is based out of Baltimore, and Marriott International is headquartered in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.

So for someone who mostly just posts a lot of news stories, they're also posting stuff that comes across their attention living in the state of Maryland, so Marriott related stuff.

Would also explain why they made a thread about "just" the Baltimore Orioles City Connections stuff (MLB) recently.

This is basically it from what I can tell. The OP has been around for ages and ages, they're definitely not a bot. We (staff) have literally talked to them in the past, so I know they're a person. If you look at their post history, they're one of those users that likes posting news threads for people to discuss and are maybe just going a little too hyperlocal with some of their threads.

They're not a bot, they just like posting news stuff to spark discussion. This thread just looks weird because, frankly, that's just a fairly nice room. When I went to Montreal a few years back I stayed in one that wasn't too different.

Also, I will admit that bots do try and sneak on, but when they do, which isn't super often, they are way more blatantly bots. Easiest way to tell is when brand-new accounts bump 5 year old threads and have a link in the post.

Do something about entremetGPT then!

Once again the trans fuckers can't help themselves but to try to destroy every community they enter.

I told you guys Famiboards was a gold mine of this dumb shit.

- resetera shows its whole ass as shitlibs who dont care about trans genocide 
- famiboards is created to #protectthedolls
- famiboards user misgenders a trans user as "they" instead of "she" in a discord
- mass exodus of mods and prominent trans users over this act of genocide 
we need a new splinter forum dedicated solely for trans users with subforums for nintendo games, vtubers, mental health, DIY HRT and hentai 

Sounds exactly like the final solution that we've proposed for them here. Finally they're listening.

Vast majority likely doesn't care either way and I don't mean that in a "they are terrible people" way. Its like how chuds are some unstoppable force that caused a billion dollar franchise to tumble at the box office with one entry, while are mere ants against the ocean when the same franchise does good. The truth is most folks don't put in the effort to care one way or another and just go with "Is it entertaining?" and a good way for me to kill a few hours. Which I'm not going to hate on anyone for. There are bigger fish to fry than some dead pedophile and bigger problems to worry about than folks wanting to jam to his tracks.

Exactly. Like is hard and often sucks so people just want to find an escape. Most people aren't going to deprive themselves of simple pleasure by turning every piece of entertainment they consume into a moral litmus test. It's an exhausting way to live, and people are already exhausted just getting through the day.

People trying to twist this into "Anyone who sees this movie is supporting pedophilia" are living in a depressing fantasy world that bears no resemblance to reality.

The movie's not great, but I had an amazing time with my family and the rest of the audience anyway.

Official Staff Communication

It is absurd that this needs to be a staff post, but here it is:

1. Do NOT accuse people of being pedophiles for going to see this movie
   
2. Do NOT dismiss the allegations against Michael Jackson
   

If you cannot do these two things you will be banned.

For a group of people who regularly project all of THEIR bad behavior and crimes onto everyone else, who then often claim that events are staged, faked and performed by paid actors, it is not outside of the realm of distinct possibility that they would stage something like this and hardly takes some grand conspiracy to pull it off. It's frankly more conspiratorial to dismiss it out of hand and tell people they should STFU about it.

Some of you need to chill with some of these wild accusations about the people watching this. My family went to see it specifically because of the cultural impact this black musician had on both their and my generations. They fully accept and decry all that he has been accused of. No maybes or could haves - outright acceptance that he is guilty and shamed by what he did. So cut it with this bullshit "you celebrate pedophilles" narrative. They don't. But the art lives beyond the artist.

You may not personally like that line drawn, but fucking cut it with the attacks that anyone who watches this are pedophilles celebrators.

In this case, the art in question is about glorifying and victimizing the artist (that is a pedophile).

This, it's like making a biopic of HP Lovecraft that completely ignores and sanitizes his many bigoted views and glorifies him. And this isn't a historical figure from centuries to thousands of years ago where his actions and behaviour has faded through history, this is man many of the people watching this movie were alive when he died with tons of video evidence of what he did and many of his victims still alive.

I don't think a Michael Jackson film is completely wrong, but it has to show the bad which from what I'm gathering it doesn't at all.

It is not the duty of SA survivors like myself to determine the intention of people that want to support this movie. All I see is the same shit as the famous faces cheering roman Polanski, or the mogots defending tump being on the Epstein list. It exemplifies that you dont fucking know who it is safe to open up to because as long as they can make a solid beat or movie who cares if you got SA'd as a child. If the woman that touched me became the right kind of famous I would not be safe to talk about my experience
