Has ResetEra freaked out about Genocide Joes latest statement yet?

Florida might ban 16 and under from social media, seemingly a good thing based on all data out there. And of course clickycal comes to the rescue to keep access to talking to underage people… 

Many aren't playing with it, and moreso using it as a lifeline and full source on how to live.

Queer and trans kids in Florida will heavily disagree.

Social media is bad for everybody, but this is not right at all. The ban is to prevent minorities from having methods to reach out to each other and have the ability to inform and educate people. Control the pathways of information and they can brainwash entire generations.

Educate them about what

Educate them about what?

Anyway, too little too late anyway, the kids have probably already moved on to AI bots that always like them and immediately respond to give them their dopamine hit.

[Besticus Maximus]

Educate them about discord wanks of course

[Boredfrom]

What can the hammer do to the world except hammer.

They don't want try and restrain Israel and pursue a diplomatic approach wrt Gaza.

They know they can't bomb the Houthis into submission (or it would have happened years ago).

They know this is helping the Houthis win their civil war by uniting the country of Yemen around them.

They know they can't do nothing because they'll be called weak and it's disrupting global trade so companies get mad at them.

So that's how you come to yes we are doing strikes, no they are not working.

I wonder if there's anyone on the Houthi side saying "hey, these missile strikes against random ships don't seem to be working to stop the Israeli bombing campaign as promised," or if that's just a type of criticism you only hear on the non-slaving side.

It is working for the Houthis though, it's rallying Yemen around them and ships are increasingly avoiding the Red Sea.

Cool, cool...

My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined. But at least now I can check this game off my list of upcoming releases I was vaguely interested in, so that's a plus. One less thing to worry about.

EDIT: In case you're curious, I can't do immersive first-person games for migraine/health reasons.

Are you ever happy with a game? lol

[ComeAgain]

Era, a forum of hardcore Sony fanboys, suddenly wants a first party studio to “broaden their horizons” and “try something new” with going from first person to third person instead. 

Someone in that Indy thread said it best 

What ten years of Sony exclusives does to a forum.

[jooseloose]

Poor Planetsmasher's day has been smashed in to pieces with the news of that Xbox Indiana Jones game being first-person https://www.resetera.com/threads/indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-is-confirmed-to-be-first-person-with-third-person-mixed-releasing-late-2024.806934/post-117790275

"Vaguely interested in". You were going to buy it, play on the easiest difficulty then rage quit because you couldn't finish the tutorial and complain how the devs don't know how to make a game.

No one asked. No one cares. No one gives a fuck.

[malfoyking]

Why does everybody on that site have some sort of medical issue? Seriously. Are they self diagnosed or what?

[BIONIC]

Cuntycal running off to constructive

It's wild that it's 2024 and we still have people here defending the idea that social media should be heavily guarded from kids. Like do you not realize how many use it as a lifeline?

Yes and it's also actively damaging to so many others.

Seriously though, this isn't the place to vent about other threads.

[BIONIC]

Speaking of constructive:

So I've noticed lately that there's been a really aggressive and angry tone coming from specific users. It feels like some are posting and replying to people specifically to goad others into aggressive arguments.


The problem is I don't think they're actually breaking any rules in each individual post, but when I see the same names across multiple threads being aggressive and antagonising others, it does become an issue I think.


Bare in mind I'm seeing this largely on gaming side so it's pretty unwarranted (not that it's okay on non-gaming either but I can understand why someone would be more passionate posting about real world issues than video games).


I guess I'm wondering if it's a waste of time reporting these users for just being aggressive and antagonising, even if their posts aren't breaking any specific rules?

We might not action it right away, but this is absolutely the sort of thing we want to see reported.

The irony of B-Cunts talking about reporting aggressive and angry tone/posts

[AldusMoneyPenny]

People need to suck it up and start mass reporting mods and admins when they break the rules. I personally send Benji at least 50 reports a day about his own cis-adjacent bigoted shit posts

This is not censorship btw

[Boredfrom]

While I appreciate the rock and hard place they're currently in, these strikes are making them more popular around the Arab world which makes their leaders even less hesitant to act. The US is helping the Houthis audition for Iran and they are so far succeeding.

The risk is regional spill over. Whether we like it or not, they have attached their attacks to Israels destruction of Gaza, and that needs to be addressed. You dont have to be a Houthi apologist, this is the perspective of even RAND corporation.

Doesnt this prove Israel point that the Arab world is out to get them? "They prefer to side with the slavers over the jews".

[Nintex]

I wonder how popular the Houthis will be when Trump reduces UN development aid for Yemen from $2.8 billion to a big fat 0.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I'm all for the de-stigmatization of periods, but it's like people forget that yes even cis women might not have periods. When Rowling defines womanhood as "the producer of the large gamets" it makes my skin crawl, again, plenty of women do not produce the gamets or whatever, even cis women, defining womanhood around reproduction is awful.

This is some shit, right here.

This.

Didn't think they'd make the jump, after being told to shut the fuck up on the abortion debate, but alas.

[HaughtyFrank]

Isn't it weird how they love to frame things around tiny edge cases but then dismiss detransitioners by saying that it's just a small amount?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I've heard many, many women talk about hating their periods, and even in some cases, admitted to be jealous of trans women who don't have periods at all (which could be triggering in some cases, since some trans women do want all the typical things that come with being born with female sex traits).

[Besticus Maximus]

Treat it for what it is bdubs, a bunch of incels sitting around being worse than 14 year old boys in a literal boys club re women's periods

A fucking mazing

"Actually cis women are jealous of us but also that's really bad of them to say because it's triggering"

The harassment from manchilds like Quartering or Star Wars Theory makes me think she deserved even more.

[Besticus Maximus]

many women are telling me, they're saying sir, sir, if we could be like you sir we'd stop our periods and take the drug do you know about the drug? They take drugs now and it's the same drugs that start the period if you take it but it stops it too 

[Snoopy]

If there was some kind of medication that could induce periods in men Kyuuji and the rest of them would be demanding it for free. then they'd spend every day on ree bragging about their flows

User threadbanned: trolling over a series of posts

I mean the UN and other Middle Eastern nations have been negotiating with the Houthis on ceasefires for years. That's really an indication they probably consider them something akin to a state, even though they don't like it.

And sorry who is the President of the Republic of Yemen?

Can B-dubs really be surprised by his userbase being pro terrorist when he promotes it?

I think he was less pro Terror and more not realizing how uncomfortable was his reading of the situation.

Is your thinking I'm saying that's a good thing? Like I'm saying the Houthis are the people's champion or something? That this isn't just going to lead to more instability and regional issues?

I mean, what him and effingvic seem to imply is that they should negotiate with them because otherwise they will become heroes to the Arab nations (even if they suffer internal and external opposition when the US and Israel are not involved).

So is: Free Palestine or Terrorist slavers are going to shoot boats.

If women are so empowered, why do we need to keep focusing on the same shit that sexists bring up, and not like other shit we can also do that aren't biological stereotypes. Sure as someone who defines themself as queer, i 100% get reclaiming things, but the key factor there is not everyone in the affected group wants to reclaim something so any feminist who gives me shit for not being happy i have a "sacred flow" can fuck right off.

Why the fuck Transexuals are defending rapists and misogynists?

Thank you for this.

I'll never forget that night in 2016, and it may have been my first panic attack. i couldn't sleep and woke up to fireworks around 3am, celebrating Trump's win (I'm in a conservative city). Worst night of my life, and it's had a lasting impression. I can't wait until Trump is no more and all we're dealing with is a broken party of cultists scrambling to find their next cult leader.

Must be some kind of blessed life.
