My wife's parents have a lot of jewelry, gold, some cars, two houses and some undisclosed amount of cash... and we are the only ones in line for it. But I am not sure I would consider it "wealth".

What would you call it, dumbass?

[Hap Shaughnessy]

Two houses? Are they landlords?

Something something generational wealth!

You can bet too that they'll be liars in that thread.

I'm Black, so no.

if you can afford to waste money on like three or four fursuits, and to go to one of the most prestigious art colleges in the country and then get a job that doesn't even make use of that degree, you are generationally wealthy enough

probably wealthier than 70% of the country

Royalan, number one supporter of the Jessie Smollett racist attack thread which banned countless pages of sane posters makes me laugh no matter what he says nowadays. He's king gay retard.*
*no offense.

I wasn't following era back then, but I'm sure it was crazy when the truth came out about that. Were any of the bans reversed after the fact? I feel like no

No. In fact, they completely flipped the script and banned the posters who called out the overzealous jussie supporters on their bullshit. something like "how DARE you ridicule us for taking Jussie's fucking retarded fairytale in good faith!" was the general sentiment

On a whim decide to start up Mass Effect 2 on Deck tonight. First time playing since launch (never even played the DLC!).

The effects of DEI (or whatever you want to call it), at least at Bioware, aren't negligible. The disparity between the writing for this compared to Veilguard is comical - and want to know something else? The game starts off with your first two companions being a woman and a black man (my brain is REELING imagining how modern Bioware would write Miranda). Except they're written as people instead of braindead caricatures. 

It's no wonder people just want to focus on making normal narratives without the nonsense.

Vonnegut's posts are almost aggressively ignorant, so I'll try to take it from the top.

Chicago has its share of both white people and Trump supporters, who are capable of committing premeditated acts of violence at late hours when witnesses are rare.

Human beings often go outside in cold weather. Jackets and other warm garments make it possible to do so. It is also possible to carry an un-frozen bottle of bleach in freezing temperatures, just like I could walk outside two days ago when it was -20 and drink a bottle of water.

Walking away is how virtually all assailants leave the scene of an attack. Driving away is the other option.

They presumably recognized him because he is a celebrity and public figure and his likeness is easily ascertainable from a quick Google search. They happened to be there at 2am because they (1) wanted to attack him and (2) wanted to do so at night when there are few witnesses. So they wait outside his residence until he either leaves or returns from elsewhere.

Video evidence of crime is rare.

Celebrity residences are often the subject of rampant hearsay and rumor-mongering. When I lived in Chicago people frequently discussed where famous people lived.

Any reasonable, rationale person would not be skeptical that he was, in fact, attacked.

Take two because you're bringing the stupid in heavy:

Perpetrators of premeditated crime often plan their actions to minimize witnesses / chances of being seen or caught. Committing crime late in the evening when witnesses are scarce is one such time-honored method. Here, his assailants likely arrived at some point in the night and simply waited for him to leave or return from elsewhere. It is possible and in fact very likely that they staked his resident out for a night or two prior to the incident. Staking out is common even among petty thieves.

Again, celebrity residences in big cities are subject to rampant hearsay. People love to gossip about who lives where. And yes, it is possible to lie in wait to commit a crime even in cold weather, thanks to things like jackets, pants, gloves, etc.

Again, staking out is a common prelude to premeditated crime, even among, say, shoplifters.

The fact that I have to spell all of this out in response to your asinine "just asking questions" posts makes it all seem very complicated when it's actually just common fucking sense, even for:

But apparently not for you.

The retard who posted them is still on the site, unbanned.

that entire thread

There's a lot of uncertainty floating around regarding this case. I really hope that what Smollet is saying is true and that he is fully cooperating with the police, because other outlets have been saying otherwise and if those are true then it's really bad news.

Go fuck yourself, and fuck your family too, for raising such a cunt. Let there be no doubt here, the world would be a better place without you in it.

This is what got me permed

I hope this thread has generated a good long discussion and a shitload of introspection and consideration from the moderation team regarding the standards and quality of moderation on this forum.

Instead of just over-reacting and banning dissenting opinions, maybe there should have been an attempt to engage with people to try to understand why they thought the whole story was fishy (which it is now well beyond any reasonable doubt).

Instead, this whole thing was turned into a massive race/culture war where those with power abused it to shut out those they didn't agree with and then got egg all over their faces when all of the doubts people had initially were shown to be legitimate and not just borne out of "white privilege" or whatever buzzword insult was being thrown around.

I couldn't give three fucking shits about this guy and before this thread I didn't even know who he was. I certainly don't give a shit about whether he set this whole thing up or not and am only here because this episode is a perfect illustration of what is wrong with this place.

Who am I kidding? Introspection? Yeah right! It's just easier to ban people and bury your heads in the sand.

It's actually satisfying going back to that thread because almost all of the worst cheerleaders are also permed or have requested account deletion.

lukewarm criticism being taken as "hostility to staff"     

absolutely zero intellectual growth from staff in 5 years

My history of histories was minimal at best

I like that the people who quoted you can't come up with a defense, so it's just ad-hominem attacks. the Resetera Classic™.

I don't think he had mental health issues, so unhinged seems inaccurate from the info given. It was a political assassination, and the powers that be want to make him out to be a terrorist.

If you don't care about CEOs and billionaires, then I want to see the same energy in not liking this dude many times over in hating United Healthcare and other US healthcare insurance companies that havd inadvertently killed untold amounts of people in purposefully denying life saving care.

RE: "Cancel Culture doesn't exist"

Also RE: "A DEVELOPER SAID SOMETHING NOT OVERLY POSITIVE ABOUT DEI??????"

The campaign to get them to add trans flag capes to the game went well, then.

A therapist who straight up keeps dossiers on people so they can ban bait and win arguments. Which is horrifying behaviour for a therapist.

The wu kong wins award thread. They’re astounded that people like the story of a game they haven’t played. 

The arrowhead thread.  They’re raging that this dude just wants to make his space bugs game without including trans flags or vtuber promotions. 

In both threads Neil druckmann is being brought up, because he is a Jew you see.

That was a mistranslation from the original Japanese interview, he said: "Don't have a dick and you won't get banned"

To be fair

[kaleidoscopium]

Malds has started the new year off as usual, with more anime hentai pictures of dubious ages shared straight to the timeline. And sharing a trans suicide hotline

And fat4all gave him a donation last night to celebrate new years

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I have to ask, are yall following them?

[Bootsthecat]

Malds blue sky feed is fuckin hilarious. I am starting to respect the 'suicide bait-> donations' hustle among all the pedo stuff.

The cast of characters on the feed are pretty fucking hilarious also.

Well worth spending 5 mins a day for some feel-good chuckles imo.

These trannny loonies really are something special

[Cauliflower Of Love]

yall some fucking creeps

[DocWager]

I definitely feel like the majority aren’t trans these days. Their pleads of suffering are reaching too far at this point, that it’s so obvious.

Also they aren’t in danger of starvation, just the basic real reason to buy un-edible devices that they can’t afford more of with the salary they earn. They can’t be satisfied with two games, or movies a month. They need ten games, and ten movies a month!

If Melody was as abused by their dad so much, they would never allow them to just spend their money on useless stuff, and not food.

[kaleidoscopium]

Yep, when I read things like “haven’t eaten in days” from Malds, I interpret that to mean “haven’t had a burger in days”. They’re being a petulant child and making up stories to fund DoorDash and buying more video games.
