I first saw that copy pasta with Jason Statham years ago.

Still haven’t seen a better substitute that paints as perfect of a mental image as Jason Statham buying 15 Milky Way bars.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

I saw Musky_Cheese at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

That can’t be true. I hired someone to do my grocery shopping for me

Resetera:

why haven’t you added reactions yet? It really does wonders for user engagement

 

[Yoshichan]

Plus you have this sick tag over here, Yoshichan.

Like someone else said, it was all about activity but I was never active anyway (except for a few bursts here and there). Anyway, thanks everyone. Hope to actually have some sort of discussion here without stepping on constant ban hammers. God, I still can’t believe how genuinely shit that place is.

 

[Tesseract]

welcome back yosh

 

[Souless_PJ]

So Chapelle just dropped a special and since it’s about George Floyd and Era can’t stop tripping over how amazing he is.

Like they just forgot the multiple threads cancelling him for his trans “insensitivity”

Guess black people winning the oppression olympics right now. Hypocrisy be damned.

 

[Dick Jones]

Sorry to be going back to that fucking Horizon: Forbidden West thread but Christ. Calling the first game a prequel (likely because (a) they didn't play it and (b) because the game had Zero in it). Only thing they got right is their username

They'll hate him next time.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

lmao i can't fucking even with this post

Hahaha, it still gets them
The meme that keeps on giving. It’s so telling that years after the shift and trying to bury GAF under a pile of steaming shit and lies, Era is still leaning on GAF-generated memes (Square shot themselves in the foot, $30 Italian meal, “I met celebrity at the grocery store“, green is noises, Antonio Banderas.gif, etc).

From the farms - era is a site industry professionals are scared to criticise. Because they will get their asses canned in an online hate campaign. Basically afraid if being put into the 'them' category in us v them

It's a bit silly for Imran to say that considering that he is performatively woke too.
He's like every worst stereotype of a game journalist.

Is Spider-Man: Miles Morales still gonna work with NYPD cops?

Considering recent events with the murder of George Floyd and just decades of police brutality and racism with NYPD, I wonder if they'll have Miles work with the police like Peter did in the base PS4 game. It's not clear if Miles Morales is entirely an expansion so new story, or he's a new skin...

Do keep up, this month its black people that have taken the top spot on the oppression pyramid at Ree.

 

[Chuckie]

They'll hate him next time.

A lot of people over there already hate him because he made some jokes about transgenders

They just remembered Spider-Man’s dad is a cop and that he’s friends with cops and works with cops

Miles Morales is going to face discrimination in this.

'Hold on a second Spider-Man, even though you are clearly wearing a mask I know you're black because reasons... and that's the only reason why I hate you'
J Jonah Jameson is a racist confirmed. Racist JJJ only through the power of SSD.

Yeah the bad guys are shooting at Miles because he's black, nothing to do with him trying to stop crime.

[Daffy Duck]

why do they hate it? I’ve never played the game so have no idea what’s different or anything

 

[Ryuji Goda]

My guess is it's not made by From Software. Just like people hate Arkham Origins because it's not made by Rocksteady (even though it's the best Arkham game IMO).

Have you considered not being a whiny bitch? Might do you some good. Also get over it, it's a fucking game.

They are like Game of Thrones writers. They kinda forgot about his trans jokes.

Only in that chat could people slate SOTC. This fucking world doesn't deserve Ueda's masterpieces.

People would shit on any gift. If Jessica Alba was up for it, they would complain she isn't as hot as she was 15 years ago.

Also Yoshichan ban is now upgraded to 2 weeks like he give a single fuck. Why even bother with the extra week?

“Game is unrealistic in its depiction of cops”

bitch you can run vertically up the side of buildings

 

[Scotty W]

Yeah I’m done with that cuck place, I never even understood why I moved from the start? God, I can’t stand those sensitive fucks anymore. Getting myself permanently banned so I can avoid the disaster furthermore.

Welcome to our home friend. I have written a satire that I have been unsuccessfully trying to hawk in this thread. If you post it for me, I would be shocked if it did not earn you a ban. Yes, I am desperate.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

It's funny how now they demand realism, and yet they defended this...

Ideologues are never consistent. Their only value is to point and laugh and tell your kids not to waste their life and become like them.

I pmed one of the cucks to get me perma but they’re not responding, yet they take the time to further ban it by a week. Don’t they realize that I simply don’t give a shit about that place?

Some idiot thinks it would be “a serious victory” if people in the US knocked down all of Washington’s statues

lol does he realize Washington is on our money? I say “our” money cos this must be a foreigner

Statue of Racist had text corrected in London

Bring down the lot. Churchill, Nelson, Rhodes etc. All were racist, white supremacists and all are a stain on our history. In the US, people like George Washington and Jefferson should also been wiped from public view. I know these were founding fathers and Washington was the first POTUS, but...

The Party of Tearing Down Statues.

They can't even be bothered to help their own poor and disenfranchised. They're full-blown cultists out for blood. They'll kill blacks just for an excuse to riot against the exact systems they voted for. It's okay that David Dorn and Chris Green got stomped. It's all for a good cause, comrade.

Listen to your masters who hold the leash. Burn down your own towns because they say so.

“Your Capital is named after him!”

dude we have an entire state named after him and a million other things too lol prepare to have your mind blown

I’m just waiting for the day Hamilton is cancelled. libs been enjoying their black face rapping slave owners guilt free for far too long. that shit has been a long time coming

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Where does it end? If you view everything through the myopic lens of "problematic" then you're always going to be erasing historical figures.

Context is everything. I'm not going to start suggesting we praise and uphold values held by figures such as Churchill and the like, but it was different times. Of course with the passage of time we can see the inherent issues present with commonly held views of that time, but it isn't worth tearing everything down in an effort to vilify those who were seen as remarkable human beings.

I just scratch my head sometimes. It cannot be worth this much energy to try and "cancel" the past.

No wonder many Era users are so miserable. It might do them good to get out and meet some new people with different views.

 

[p_xavier]

I love how there ideas of safe spaces are havens of loathing and hypocrisy.

You're giving them too much credit. They think it's named after Denzel.

When every white historical figure is cancelled because they were a bigot (maybe not all but it's safer to assume they were bigots).

I'm kinda half waiting for "ACAB" to turn into "AWPAB" if these trains of thought continue on their current trajectory.

Account suicide. Make a thread in gaming with this topic:

"Court records prove Trump is a homophobe"

But then in the post say:

"Oh, did I say Trump in the subject? I meant Cerium"

and drop the archive of the court decision proving he's a homophobe.

I can absolutely assure you that everyone born more than half a century ago is a bigot in wrong-think world. Be that person white, black or asian. Every single one.

Of course by wrong-think standards this also applies to the last 50 years, but thanks to a healthy dose of community encouraged narcissism and double-standards we can all pretend we aren't.

Just ask them to delete all data relating to your account as per GDPR rules and you're done(apparently they cant delete your posts but the user will show as Deleted or similar),they have to do it within a certain time from receiving the request, that's what i did, best move ever

This is true. If you start down this road, they will find an issue with everyone and in 50 years, people today will be considered bad for things that are not considered bad now.

People have no intellectual capacity for context anymore. I hate when people say “times were different is no excuse” sure it is THAT’S NOT AN ARGUMENT. Explain why it isn’t. What’s”good” and “bad” is subjective to the times, culture decides that. There is no definitive rule book. In different times different things were ok.

Notice how no one can ever argue the other side?

 

[crumbs]

It's not enough to embrace with the daily conventional woke-dom at Ree, you must agree 100% and in a performative fashion so that they know you hold "safe" ideas.

 

[Goro Majima]

Holy fucking shit, I have no idea how the moderation over there became so shit

A subset of users asked for it by demanding moderation crack down on every even slightly perceived microaggression or whatever.

So if you're a mod that disagrees with that approach then you either quit or just stop modding altogether. You're not going to challenge other mods/admins about what is or isn't bigotry because even if 9 out of 10 mods/admins read a post and think it's fine but the one who doesn't will throw a shit fit if you don't agree. After all, you don't want to cape for racism do you???

So the most active mods/admins naturally become the most zealous and the most visible. There's nobody pumping the brakes at all.

edit: At least if ERA is anything like other forums where I've been a mod anyway. If you're a super chill mod who doesn't really get upset about anything it's kinda like "why am I here?".
