Why does everyone want to go to the past? Other than checking out dinosaurs, I'd want to go to the future to see if we have solved some of the big scientific mysteries.

[Nintex]

I would do the silliest things, like hide the body of Jesus to see what happens, tell the Germans to drive their tanks through the Ardennes to bypass the maginot line and detonate some bombs right when the planes hit the WTC on 9/11

And with the stuff they'd want to do it's so fucking childish. It's literally like high school on that forum. They never matured past that. Same with the majority of Youtubers as well as Twitch streamers. All cliques and shit.

Nice to see antisemitism and defending tankie shit gets basically no punishment but god forbid you say you like sexy women in games like Stellar Blade.

don't want to be too "bitch eating her crackers," the thread is about silly childish things, you're not supposed to say you would kill hitler or whatever

[Straight Edge]

I’d go back in time and give Malcolm X some of NepNep’s Lucio fanfiction.

I love how everyone in this thread is misinformed. The guy has dive experience and he's using a sub from a reputable company. This is nothing like OceanGate at all.

As usual, Era posters are rushing in to be the first to make the lamest, most obvious jokes possible.

The majority of U.S. adults consume alcoholic beverages. About 66 percent of adults ages 21 through 59 report alcoholic beverage consumption in the past month, and of those, approximately half report binge drinking, sometimes multiple times per month. Among adults who choose to drink, average intakes of calories from alcoholic beverages exceed the remaining calorie limit that is available after food group recommendations are met.

Excerpted from the longform PDF. I felt this particularly pertinent given the few dozen alcohol abuse/drunk driving threads around here, and how people normally talk about alcohol and caloric intake. More than half of all adults regularly binge drink, nevermind a third who drink at all. You cannot begin to solve potential problems like alcohol related deaths, cardiovascular health, et al by making the chief response simply individual responsibility. Fitness influencing is at an all time high, yet societal health continues its unsustainable march toward widespread disease and human suffering.

It's not all gloom and doom on this front.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/claraludmir/2023/06/27/why-genz-is-drinking-less-and-what-this-means-for-the-alcohol-industry/?sh=8dd025848d1d

I'm not saying it's doom and gloom, I'm saying we can't keep making alcohol solely an individual's responsibility. Same as obesity and other cardiovascular diseases. We are seeing these rates at a massive societal level.

That article you linked is mostly about the economic explosion of seltzers and NA beers, but nowhere in that piece is there data about the lowering rates of alcohol abuse or binge drinking. 82 percent of NA consumers also drink alcohol, so I'm not very convinced by this article that comes off like an ad to sell me some Death Water.

If this guy is just going to do a James Cameron, then okay. What ultimate meaning is to be gleaned from this development other than jokes concerning the previous disaster? What enrichment am I gaining from knowing a billionaire is doing some billionaire shit?

I dunno, maybe you'll be inspired to get a job so you can see the Titanic one day too.

White male targeting girls in a stabbing? This is just what Era wants for validation.

I see now. 

"Four girls stabbed at theater"

"CBS misgenders trans woman who stabbed four girls"

Sorry for the NY Post quotes. but they always get the juicy background.

What to know about Massachusetts stabbing spree suspect Jared Ravizza
Jared Ravizza, 26, is suspected of going on a stabbing spree across Massachusetts and Connecticut on May 25, 2024.

Ravizza allegedly laughed as he stabbed four girls at a Braintree movie theater before driving to Plymouth and allegedly attacking two people in a McDonald’s.

A witness to the McDonald’s attack said Ravizza had a “big expression” on his face and compared it to Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Shining.”

He is also suspected of murdering his 70-year-old roommate, Bruce Feldman, in the Deep River, Connecticut, house they shared.

Ravizza was arrested in April on Martha’s Vineyard for allegedly attacking his father. Jason Ravizza claimed his son suffered a “mental break” before assaulting him and wrecking his office.

He was apparently in the process of changing his look ahead of the attacks and had filed paperwork for a legal name change to Jared Love Jones last month.

Locals told The Post that Ravizza is a “weirdo” who had an obsession with exercising and his looks. He had a dispute with two neighbors shortly before Feldman’s murder in which he allegedly threw a shovel through their window after they called the police on Feldman.

His dad listed as co-author of a religion-based book titled “Waging the War Within — A Devotional.”
About the Book

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

The Waging War Within is a daily devotional that focuses on bringing the Christian believer into a closer walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This devotional emphasizes the importance of putting on the full armor of God to withstand the daily onslaught of the enemy, that wars against our soul.

This book takes a closer look into the realm of spiritual warfare and the strategies to counter the attacks of Satan. Our prayer is that The Waging War Within would lead people to higher ground in their spiritual walk with Jesus Christ, as well as provide them with a battleplan to win The Waging War Within.

Shikhova told The Post Tuesday Ravizza weaseled his way onto her photoshoot before he began hitting on her, proposing almost immediately and suggesting they should have kids together.

“He said ‘I’m gonna be a good husband, you’re gonna be my wife,'” Shikhova recalled. “I think he liked me and he was used to getting what he wanted.

Jared Ravizza, 26, bragged during interviews about his prowess as a pro skier, model, philanthropist and the leader of Ravizza Group, a marketing company which he founded.
Jared is quoted in numerous past interviews in which he described his love for skiing and tennis and claimed to help people with disabilities.
In 2021, he told the MV Times he was a seasonal resident who claimed to be running a charitable organization called Ravizza Global Initiative.

“At that time he dressed like a man. He wasn’t wearing any makeup or nail polish,” Shikhova said, referencing Ravizza’s recent instagram photos where he adopted a more feminine appearance and changed his name.

On one hand he's an idiot for doing this, on the other hand it's also possible he saw no other way getting to the doctor with how crappy public transportation is in most parts of the US.

Can't just leave it at "he's an idiot" They have to shift the blame.

this also reminds me of when fiction told me that no one in the state likes albuquerque and avoids it at all costs out of fear for their life.

Honestly I imagine they were secretly happy about Stellar Blade because they got absolutely nothing to talk about beyond old games and some niche Japanese games. It's seriously amazing how they keep framing themselves as this poor underdog while most of the industry shifted in their favor

In the final game, there's a part where Raiden swims underwater with Emma. Nothing too unusual happens, but while they're underwater, Kojima originally wanted blood seeping out of Emma's crotch. When they surface, Raiden would ask: "Where are you hurt?" and Emma would blush and say: "Uhh, I'm fine." Later in the story, Emma's fatally stabbed by Vamp. Raiden's audibly concerned with how much blood she's losing, then she'd look up and say: "I'm fine... it's just my... period..." then let out her final breath. Those would've been her dying words. But Kojima's team all hated the idea, so all those menstrual gags got cut.

The Artisan(mod)

so the other day, I was in my parents' hometown ready to embark on a road trip. before I even got onto the highway to leave my hometown though, I got pulled over doing 66 on a 45. to be honest, I didn't even notice I was going that fast. it was in an area that a lot of people just pickup speed on; I think it was when I was going downhill, but once I reached the bottom I know I was at an appropriate speed. but it was at that point that I noticed the police lights behind me.

so the sheriff hands me this ticket and also tells me that I was supposed to fix the address on my license. the ticket itself said that pleading guilty means points off of my license as well as potential jail time (!). from doing research, it looks like everyone just pleads not guilty, so I suppose I can do that but I just don't know what's going to come of this.

I have gotten a ticket for speeding before, but that was a long time ago. I have my own insurance now and really don't want to have to deal with even higher rates considering all the other bills I have to pay. has anyone else gone through something similar and come out of the situation with as little financial/legal scathe as possible?

You can only support Socialism-Lite (Sponsored by Genocide Joe) on Era. For a site that promotes the socialist to tankie pipeline they sure don't want to support far left thought. 

It isn't fair. White people and their capitalistic center left politics always fucking win.

as people get older I think they lose context for how ridiculous this shit is

imagine it's the year 1995

you find out that some author in 1975 almost put a weird joke in a book but decided against it

this is how far removed we are, this is how much it matters
