People really hate this dude for no reason... it's literally right there in the article:

I'm a good partner, in that sense. It was Netflix's idea, they're like 'What if we said do whatever you want over here? Do the PG-13 version and then go nuts [on the other cut]. We don't care.'

Netflix and Snyder collaborated for a PG-13 cut and Netflix also said go do a Rated R version. Seems like such a non issue lol, they both wanted to do this...

Imagine if 20th Century Fox had allowed George Lucas to also release his R-rated cut of Star Wars. Seeing Aunt Beru's breasts before she and Uncle Owen were graphically incinerated in slow motion would have really helped the story.

FUCKKKKK i hate this country and this fucking society where so many things are ass backwards.

I never fucking understood raising rates after accidents to begin with as ISN'T THAT THE FUCKING POINT OF INSURANCE? you pay money over time into an account to use for those accidents of basically what you pay in, shit shouldn't be increasing until your shit costs more than you paid in imo.

Nepenthe: No insurance under communism 

My car got hit while parked appropriately on the street during the night. Basically sheered the bumper and part of a side panel off. Called my insurance about it. Went from paying $177 a month to over $300 from that nonsense...along with having to pay an upfront deductible to get my car fixed at the recommended shop. Why the fuck am I paying you money every month for years if, when I am in a no fault accident, you're just gonna fuck me over anyway?

I love how often they post about how they don't understand how insurance works. And look whose fault it is that they don't: society.

Almost definite nonce dragon Girl Cenauru in the Twitch porn thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/twitch-updates-its-policy-on-sexual-content-up-rollbacks-artistic-nudity-changes.795108/post-116385066

And all anyone could say to the TOS update was some variation of "think of the children" to inject their bigoted and misogynistic views into it. While ignoring any actual pressing matters regarding children with the site.

I'm tired of everything pandering to incel chuds.

I love how the "incel chuds" are just automatically behind everything no matter what the topic is. Why would "incel chuds" be against porn? Cenauru probably should look at the incels closer to home, like who have a whole thread complaining about art.

What do you mean? This is an easy layup for Marvel/Sony. Easy press attention for diversity points. They're going to say Gwen is trans in the US and a woman in the Arab countries and China.

when i saw it this morning (german time, 09:00), you say admins - or admin? (can‘t remember specifically if it was general) being transphobic to you and then you edit your posts and then selbst promote your twitch and donation links
this is confrotational but this:

i have to rely on others for both basic things and my hobbys which makes me a massive leech, and just god. when i go days without food people ignore my ko-fi like i get the message people dont want me to die but no one will help me live

too late not gonna bother posting my ko-fi besides i wouldnt feel confortable taking anyone's money in a situation like this

which generates a lot of replies in interest of your ko-fi

due to pressure from others in this thread i will share my Ko-Fi
Buy Melody a Coffee. ko-fi.com/melodyshreds 
i dont really do anything of value besides stream some games on twitch though.

+ other posts

is very typical manipulative behaviour, and dunno why this is being allowed going unchecked. people now offering to your ko-fi in this context doesn't fit right. this is manipulation tactics and i've seen this sort of thing personally. there are clear rules on this forum regarding things like this and self-promotion since the start of the forum and has always been moderated

i am not against helping people on this forum, but not how this thread premise began on and how it continued. it doesn‘t seem sincere to me but manipulative

not sure if i‘ll get into trouble for this but thought i‘d speak my mind, irrelevant that people offer to your ko-fi after this but a lot of your replies to this thread feel very manipulative to me. if that makes what i say extremely unpopular i‘ll accept that backlash, but this is not good thing to do and something one should think about how that kind of behaviour can affect people who might read or reply to thread or generally people around in one‘s life that have good intentions to help

About the pin on Gwen's dad here it is in 4k:

and am I trippin cuz I see metallic green then pink then white then pink and purple? or is that blue cuz it seems purple to me

I don't see how transEra can feel safe with these bans overturned.

The leak is quite dissapointing. Wolverine looks like a Spider-Man mod,

Just seeing the rest of the content and yeah...Insomniac is literally making God of War 2018: Wolverine Edition. I commend their quick production schedule, but that comes at the cost of every single one of their games being derivative and boring after 8 hours.

Would Gwen be a transbian or in a relationship with Miles?

Do they still have their little girl cock or not and is it a micro penis due to transitioning before puberty?

These are the questions Trans Era deserves answered.

[HaughtyFrank]

The funniest part about the Wolverine leaks is that Debra Wilson is in yet another videogame

[benji]

I don't know how trans people can feel safe on a forum that allows Sony, Insomniac and Spider-Man content knowing that Sony and Insomniac refuse to make a Spider-Gwen game where she's trans.

[benji]

I don't see how transEra can feel safe with these bans overturned.

They can feel safe because it proves that the appeal ticket system works and everything the staff has ever said is true. There's simply no reason to put the staff's lives at risk when all issues can be handled quietly behind the scenes with no public explanation.

Once Hecht and Nepenthe finish the rules rewrite the entire process will be clear.

A Trans Spider-Gwen game is a chance for the gaming industry to show it's not just about bigotry and hatred like Cyberpunk and Hogfart's.

I lasted 2 in God of War.

Game was mid-tier beat-em-up. LotR: The Two Towers on Gamecube was better by a long way.

A whole year to accomplish anything for goty voting and he accomplished nothing.

Hey don't sell them short. They managed to steal an award category from Geoff's game awards, not even bothering to give it a unique name, and threatened people with bans for voting for the wrong game. That's some hard work.

Anyway, now let me vote for the best selling game of the year that featured trans characters and allowed you to create a trans wizard...

Shame, the erasure of trans media continues

NOTE: In keeping with our ban on Hogwarts Legacy discussion, it is not listed as an option in the pool of eligible games. If you write it into your ballot regardless then the vote will be considered null and void.

[books]

I don't know a more impactful game than Hogterf. Gets book foos, nerds, wizard nerds, non online trans folks, and nintendo fans all on it. Haven't played it, but that's a hefty cross section; whereas Saints Row reboot tried the same thing (but less) and shanked their attempt.

Ree might be starting to slide as the nexus of gaming and gaming culture into the nexus of antisemtic militant trans puritanical cosplay and grooming.

Edit- Debra was also on MadTV. So good for her.

[Uncle]

what if you write in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the PS1, which is NOT forbidden by the rules, and is game of the year this year and every year

It's bad enough we have the people who actually understand insurance and are nicely trying to explain it to others saying crazy things:

This is not factoring in the multitudes of drivers paying month after month, year after year with no accidents, lucky them that are supposed to be whole fucking point of insurance to help subsidize costs for everyone if god forbid a horrible accident happens. That's the whole point of insurance, it's socialism. But adding the for profit is where it all goes to shit. This should never have been for profit to begin with.

I am in 100% agreement with you. Thats why I said Insurance has no business being an at profit business. It just doesn't work. Its one of the clearest examples of a system that just shouldnt exist. Government is meant for this kind of thing IMO.

It just encourages the narcissistically ignorant:

I'm glad we're all at least in agreement that privatized insurance is kind of bonkers and leads to a higher financial burden for the policy holder than not. So like...what are poor folks supposed to do in the meantime of this private system existing to not get fucked over like they have been beyond shopping around periodically?

Honestly I don't know. I think its likely that the system doesn't provide an alternative by design. I just know that the answer isn't to hit someone's vehicle and then leave it. After all, who is to say the person's property you are damaging isn't poor too? I just refuse to see that as an answer. If there is a better way, that probably isn't it.

I was genuinely hoping you knew of some public options or something. Brb gonna go cry in a corner.

As for the moral quandary of to report or not to report, I think the fact that this is even a thing to argue about at all is merely an indictment on the systems we are living by as a whole. If you're on the margins and you accidentally give someone a minor ding, and your options are to report and be underwater and not report and not be underwater, then frankly under capitalistic principles you're stupid for reporting. Why drown yourself over a scratch on a car door? Subsequently I don't blame anyone in this scenario for driving off. A major accident, especially one involving bodily harm, is a different story, obviously, but it's not relevant to the OP.

The fact is, the system as we have it rewards non-reporting more than it does reporting because the latter is more expensive. If I'm trying to save money to live, then it behooves me to deal with my insurance as little as possible regardless of my quality as a driver. You can say "but it's the right thing," but doing the right thing is not always perfectly analogous to financial stability. In fact, it seems to commonly be the opposition: exploitation and fucking the weakest people among us over seem to be one of the keys to accessing wealth!

So again, this is all ultimately a systemic failure. We can agree: privatized insurance blows. If people are obliged to do the wrong thing because they are fucked if they don't, then that's a problem with the rules in place, not the people forced to make bad decisions. Give people an incentive and environment where it's easy and beneficial to make good decisions, then they'll make good decisions.

"Okay but how are insurance companies supposed to make profit?"

Fuck em lol. They're not my friends.

While explanations can be useful, (and advice to avoid bullshit is even better,) I don't think people want explanations. It's already understood the main explanation is that the underlying system is unfair, and attempting to explain how the math on top of that works (unfortunately) comes off as endorsing those systems to someone who is pissed off.
Hell we just had a post where someone was given advice to save their accident forgiveness for something bigger, This is incentivized by the insurance's primary purpose not being to actually benefit you like it would seem, but to generate profit.

What people want here is to rant, and to tear down the walls of the for-profit insurance companies that leech off of all us. They want the CEOs brought down from their happy holiday slumbers over on Melody Lane with all the other rich people, and they want to look them straight in the eye, and tell them what cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sacks of monkey shit they are.

I mean the OP has been literally screaming they they're poor for pages now. It's kinda hard to miss lol.

But yeah, people will easily choose to drive without insurance because they need a car for work but just can't afford a fucking $300 premium on top of everything else. Or they can only afford what they're paying now and reporting anything is a liability in case it causes a raise in rates, which like 9 times it of 10 it seems to because, again, the goal of insurance companies is not to help you.

In a socioeconomic system where your ability to live is not tied to your goodness as a person, but the number of dollerydoos you have, you're going to see the poor do immoral things to secure their piddling amount of dollerydoos. Saying "but that's wrong!" is missing the point. If you want a world where the good are allowed to thrive, you need to either start financially rewarding good behavior or decouple dollerydoos from a dignified existence.

She's upset because her premiums went up because she filed a claim to pay for cosmetic repairs. She didn't want to pay them herself (or via her parents) because they quoted $2,000 to her. Apparently she assumed the insurance company would just take the hit instead.
