Maybe you have the abilty to read in your mind faster than you can speak the text out loud.  I know it's crazy but people on Era claim to have the gift. 

First of all, think about the complete lack of "other things" going on in someone's life to allow them to read 1600 pages of utter shite in a day. Then think about the insane level of privilege they have in that completely aimless life to be able to waste an entire day reading 1600 pages of utter shite.

One of the advantages of reading it all in a single day is that you won't be emotionally manipulated like if you watched the adapted TV series.

All I'm reading and my eyes are glazing over is conspiracirizing and transerasurism. This is deeper than we thought.

Edit- I wish I was fat and useless. That'd be the life.

Edit2- nothing wrong with being fat except being unhealthy and dying early. You do you.m of course.

Guarantee you UBI, if it passes in America with the political apparatus and parties currently as they are, won't even be a living wage because it'll be garnished by debtors, landlords, and the government. That's why billionaires push for it, because it's less they have to pay you.

As someone whose been denied SSDI (ugh) this shit is incredibly frustrating. They're fucking ghouls the lot of them. it feels like things will never be better for people like me...

This is how you know Melody is lying. SSDI is for those who have actual work experience and money paid in the the system, a person with no work history of course will not be even looked at for the possibility of SSDI unless special circumstances by being filed before a certain age and piggy backing off their parents work. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is what Melody would be looking for.

There's more Melody moments in the thread if you'd like a laugh.

Late, but AOC linking a ceasefire to the freeing of the hostages makes her more serious than 90% of the people advocating for a ceasefire

Hilary Clinton Disagrees with Era on a new ceasefire."Hamas Must Go"

That is why I am convinced Hamas must go. On October 7, these terrorists killed babies, raped women, and kidnapped innocent civilians. They continue to hold more than 200 hostages. They have proved again and again that they will not abide by cease-fires, will sabotage any efforts to forge a lasting peace, and will never stop attacking Israel.

Hamas does not speak for the Palestinian people. Hamas deliberately places military installations in and below hospitals and refugee camps because it is trying to maximize, not minimize, the impact on Palestinian civilians for its own propaganda purposes. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is heartbreaking—and every death means more blood on Hamas’s hands.

Does Era still have Hilary superfans? Hopefully one of them posts that to star an Era Civil War between the Hilaries and the Tankies.

UBI wouldn't be a "living wage" because that would be fucking impossible to fund. And "garnished by the government"? She means taxes right? The very thing you need to fund the UBI? Especially since she wants 100% of the private sector seized by the state to fund it.

Hesitate to call AOC smart of savvy, but she has political ambitions that stretch nationally. And her voting block has more Jews than some of her contemporaries. So she needs to be somewhat tempered.

As for Hillary, I have nothing negative to say. Let me repeat that out loud into my lamp.

It's not like the actual words "Hogwarts Legacy" are banned. So just using a different descriptor such as "The Wizard Game" isn't really helping/or protecting anyone...
For the most part I see it as people not wanting to acknowledge it fully.
The odd poster saying they haven't played it yet, seems kinda benign to me to be honest...

I've always thought this was an odd overreaction by posters. Threads promoting and discussing the game are obviously, understandably, banned but people seemed afraid to call the game “Hogwarts Legacy”, even when criticising it and JK Rowling.

So thank you for clarifying that!

TBF when the ban went into effect, there was an initial heavy handed all encompassing ban even when speaking of it negatively before other staff discussed and mediated in the TERF/transphobia discussion OT.

thought the point of not saying the actual name was to prevent promotion of the brand rather than any sort of ban circumvention.

I've always interpreted calling it the wizard game as a way to disrespect or dismiss the IP at every possible turn. Fuck everything that woman has come up with, including words.

Rather than worry about whether its okay to call it this or that, isn't it easier to just not bring it up?

Sometimes it’s the elephant in the room. Like in a sales thread where it’s highly placed, it’s ok to have people saying “fuck that wizard game”.

Especially as there always seems to be some fuckers happy for the excuse to praise it. “Fuck that wizard game” is a small gesture of solidarity with Era’s trans members.

And I agree with [USER=4989]Dmax3901[/USER] that “wizard game” is meant to be disrespectful, at least when I say it.

I favour the term "Hogwash", there can be little doubt what you mean or how you mean it!

Yep. Pplz don't say "the wizard game" cuz of some fear of taking the name like it's  Voldemort. They say it to shit on the IP. Same with Hogwash or Hogfarts Legacy (my favorite). Outside of Resetera as well.

[benji]

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

[books]

Well, Hogfarts just came out on the Switch. Going to be interesting to see the sales thread.

[benji]

Fine, I looked:

I mean how is one supposed to survive without income from somewhere? It's not society's job to take care of you.

fox news in the 90s, when did you get here

Uhhhh what

nah i aint getting banned over this

EDIT okay fuck i'll bite. Social Security is literally relying on society to survive!

What. The. Fuck?

yeah seriously...

Gotta love good old "progressive" era.

You have to pay into Social Security for 10 years to get anything, meaning you have to work. You don't just get it. I understand taking care of those who have fallen on hard times, or can't work for whatever reason be that age, disability or something else. That's fine. I have a friend that literally can't work due to illness. I wouldn't consider her unemployed because she's not part of the work force. I'm fine with taking care of folks that can't work or take care of themselves, but not so for folks that can work.

I took your comment to mean that anyone shouldn't need a job to survive. I just can't agree with that. Supplemental income for those that make below a living wage but still work? Sure. Increasing disability and making it not damn near impossible to actually get? Sure. Making sure Social Security is actually secure? Sure. I support all of that. Just not people that can work, not working and the rest of us having to be okay with that.

100% employment rate is impossible in ANY country in the world. An expectation that everyone should be employed to survive is unrealistic and actually harmful at worst. and just supports the broken capitalist system that props up no one but the very well off.
Universal Basic Income should be a thing by now, valuing a person based on their ability to work is terrible. Fuck and people call this place left.

Work culture is the worst. the conservatives really have a strangle hold on people don't they?

exactly how i read that post

A reminder that when people complain about Era being too "progressive", it's usually bigots mad that they can't say slurs without catching a ban. This board still has a problem when it comes to class issues and the like.

No one chooses to be born into this world the way they are. We as a society have the potential to take care of everyone, but chooses not to for the sake of profitability. If by magic, we somehow pass UBI for everyone, no one should be shamed for living just off of UBI. If they want more, everyone has the option to work for more, but it shouldn't be a necessity for......basic necessities and I'll go so far to say even maybe a couple luxuries too! (an occasional game or something!)

You said it much better than I ever could.

Your logic might make sense if the system were not horribly discriminatory towards those who need the support the most. Many people struggle to get on supplemental income due to the very barriers that have been imposed, and straight up disability is often even harder to get with rules that regularly screw over the disabled.

Moreover, your last statement is kinda painting some really broad strokes there, don't you think? It is very much the same logic that leads to these barriers and discrimination in the first place.

Guarantee you UBI, if it passes in America with the political apparatus and parties currently as they are, won't even be a living wage because it'll be garnished by debtors, landlords, and the government. That's why billionaires push for it, because it's less they have to pay you.

I mean how is one supposed to survive without income from somewhere? It's not society's job to take care of you.

how is your avatar literally Superman and you're saying this. do you think superman charges a bill

You are 100% right, and we need only look to SSI for proof of this. People on it only get paid $914 a month, which well below the poverty level for pretty much every state. And that's a conditional program that is often the end of the line if you're too disabled to work, and never got a chance to get enough work credits for SSDI. Or got denied.

As someone whose been denied SSDI (ugh) this shit is incredibly frustrating. They're fucking ghouls the lot of them. it feels like things will never be better for people like me...

Things will not get better if we continue to presume that we do not have the power to collectively enact change for each other.

The first steps are to actually educatate ourselves regarding prior revolutionary successes and doctrine around the world, and then to organize our communities within that image through things like neighborhood pods, mutual aid orgs, and small parties. And in the midst of our organization, we cannot compromise philosophically with conservatives or even liberals because they absolutely will try to drag us back to the status quo. They're personally enriched by the cruelty and thus see no need to work towards truly moral and equitable standards.

The answers to change the vile state of our country have existed for pretty much hundreds of years. We have to simply read the work, follow the advice, and be uncompromising about it. Honestly? Get off Era primarily for this kind of work because this is not and never will be a revolutionary space. It's a liberal one.

I hate that the place i live is like 99% republican land, and any plans i had for moving to a better place went out the window a few weeks ago.

Progressivism is when you should be able to force others, via cops personally enriched by the cruelty, to labor at your expense. People who want to keep the proceeds of their own labor are ghouls. Superman doesn't charge after all. 

And most definitely, never compromise. Ever. They need to accept my our truly moral and equitable standards where they provide slave labor for my our wants or else.

Also, ResetERA.com sucks because of non-progressive staff and is full of cruel chuds who refuse to do the work by seeing and enjoying the confirmed fun of Disney's Marvel's The Marvels.

just pointing out that nep actually spoiler-hid that last line about how shit era is. couldn't even say it with her whole chest

her posts about the site are becoming more and more openly hostile. gives me hope that she'll finally step down and the healing can begin

i'm kidding, she's way too much of a self-important bully to ever give that up

I guess some relatives or online friend decided against allowing Melody to move in and mooch off them.

1. Recognize we have the power to collectively enact change for each other.
2. ?
3. Take a carrot, leave a carrot.

[benji]

Also collectively come together and provide so none have to work. With a global "living wage plus luxuries" UBI. And enforcing cultural borders so no yts draw furries with braids. And also if you say the wrong thing online or culturally appropriate you're cut off. Unless you'd like to provide restitution to the communities you've harmed by "voluntarily" laboring for them, policed by those communities. Plus a general overall "degrowth" from current standards of living back to the 19th century. But with increased public services and transportation and media. All without that nothing-to-say automation.

See, this is so much better and wiser than Garfield-ruining work-demanding non-liberation from capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy. YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE!
