Manual Car elitism is the stupidest shit ever.
I bet the Amish feel superior in their horse drawn carriages to people driving cars too.
Get fucked.

It was practising shifting in an automatic, which isn't going to do you any good, that I was facepalming. I didn't learn to drive a manual until I was in my 20s, and it's understandable that it's a skill some people have never had to learn. Also, hit dog hollers.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Justifying Calls for Violence

Oh, right. I think we're on the same page then lol

Right I do think these should be taken seriously, but I also think the people at Unity shouldnt dismiss these as "gamers are crazy". Fucking with peoples lives like this is playing with fire.

She’s muscular but it’s not like it’s impossible to do without steroids or anything.

It actually is impossible, and the fact that they textured the character's polys with bacne makes clear that's what was intended.

[Besticus Maximus]

We all know what they actually want to happen with Abby's casting, and why they're pushing hard to pretend that women can get massively jacked without taking dangerous drugs

and further why they don't want true and honest beautiful woman Florence Pugh anywhere near it

The person they scanned for the character is a legit a roided out bodybuilder. It's so funny to me how angry they react when someone mentions that this is pretty hard to believe in a post-apocalypse.

Fuckin' Hogwarts, man. :/

Hogwarts Legacy has absolutely insane legs, Jesus Christ

Harry Potter is a fucking juggernaut

I was thinking the IP had begun running out of steam after the Fantastic Beasts movies basically did nothing at the box office, but I was very wrong here. That is a star wars level IP in terms of its longevity.

Wow Hogwarts has been way more successful than i thought it would be

Who's still buying Hogwarts? Game isn't even very good.

HP is one of the best selling series ever written. It presumably has a lot of fans. It wtill stay up there all year, and probably get another surge when the switch version comes out.

It’s a great game actually. Great reviews, great player feedback. The incredible sales are not the least bit surprising.

EXTRA JUICY:

We just openly talking about the stupid ass wizard game here now or something?

Imagine playing a dorky ass Harry Potter game when you could have been playing Armored Core. Get some culture in you.

It's the best selling game of the year and this is a sales thread. Are we supposed to pretend it's not on the chart?

MONDO JUICE

It's a game the proceeds of which are actively going to harm trans people. Yeah, I'd say it's best to not bring it up.

Then people discussing if its a GOTY contender (it is) and how well received it was lmao. With plenty of mods posting in the same thread and ignoring it.

And the top comment so far:

I literally cannot wrap my head around this. I understand why talk about the game itself is banned. It makes sense. But this isn’t about promoting the game, and certainly not about praising it. It’s just recognizing the relevant fact that it is selling copies in this thread devoted to analyzing the sale of video games.

This is kind of like that recent movie Sound of Freedom which came out this past summer and became a completely unexpected (and shady) box office phenomenon. The problem with that is that it’s a QAnon conspiracy movie funded by far right Christian organizations that stared and was promoted by some of the most vile people around. But the money it was making was still worthy of being discussed in the weekly Box Office threads, because it’s both the reality and it’s frankly dangerous to ignore.

The walls are truly caving in lol

If you think women taking precautions to keep themselves safe from entitled men in a patriarchal society is the same as racism, that is a you problem and not a me problem.

Mr About to be banned -

I mean, you didn't specify any conditions in your previous statement. Are you gonna judge anyone who gets nervous in a dangerous neighborhood as racist because it's a Black majority neighborhood?

The equivalence for a white person who treats every black person as dangerous is a woman who treats every man as dangerous, and they're both equally dumb.

[Besticus Maximus]

The roman empire thread is great. Known idiots hate the Roman empire and can't even comprehend why people would be interested in the basic foundations of the world they live in and the ideas and languages they use every second of every day, good forummers love it. Who would have thought.

Including Kyuuji going to bat for fucking Elagabalus of all people, or should I have seen that coming somehow

'I never think about the romans but Egypt and Greece' is another big lol, why do you think you know anything at all about those things dickheads

Never unless it's a topic of conversation or something I've read. Which it was a couple of days ago at least when I was reading about Elagabalus, a Roman emperor believed to be trans and (separately) assassinated in 222 at the age of 18.

Yeah, took a break from posting in here but was reading there and here, it's pretty clear he works for LRG or a company associated with them. Weird how that isn't disclosed, and I wonder if his employer knows about it...

[Polident]

I recognize the irony here but there’s something about a TikTok trend, based on a Twitter trend, filtered back into a different side of Twitter, then flushed into an era thread. Imagine one could reliably predict every opinion on era from what trended on Twitter yesterday.

women being afraid of men is just them rooting their worldview in crime statistics and likelihood of something negative occurring, which is completely unlike..

So what’s the solution then to toddlers getting mauled to death?

Spaying and neutering, proper training of the dog, discipline of children concerning dog handling, and hardcore supervision of children and pets when they're actually together.

Things that are never given due diligence in these discussions because they don't tap into people's fears and ignorance.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/uk-pm-sunak-announces-government-will-ban-american-xl-bully-dogs-under-dangerous-dogs-act.764867/post-112087577

So just to recap:

Telling someone they shouldn't have live streamed porn on the internet if they didn't want to be know for livestreaming porn on the internet = Victim Blaming

Telling 7 year old Timmy that he shouldn't have stared into that pitbull's eye if he didn't want to get mauled to death = Not victim blaming

[Besticus Maximus]

The dogs thing is interesting and shows the Atlantic divide.

The yanks in that thread think they’re talking about Staffies and pit bulls. The dogs in question are actually mutant freak dogs that need Caesarian births and all kinds of horrible stuff. They’re crossed six ways backward with French bulldogs and cane corsos, it’s every bit as bad as any kind of horrible breeding before you get into breeding all these aggressive dogs together into one that kind of looks like a turbo hench staffie

Also the people that own these dogs are typically the bald white football hooligan crowd. They couldn’t be getting it more backward tbf.

I know y'all think y'all are being cute with the equivocation between guns and dogs, but please be serious.

I know this is a minor thing, but for the love of god someone on Resetera if you're reading this, tell her what the word "equivocation" means. She thinks it means "to interpret as equivalent" or something? This is like the 5th time i've seen her use that word wrong and I feel like a starving pitbull next to a ripe baby whenever i see it.

If she paid more attention to the romans she'd understand where she's going wrong tbf

aequivocus, itself from aequi-, meaning "equal" or "equally," and voc- or vox, meaning "voice.

[Propagandhim]

People are happy to call certain dogs "wild animals" or akin to having something like a big cat, which just scientifically isn't true (and I thought leftists were supposed to be all about science?) and is only there to inflame tensions and add negative stigma to owners.

Which breeds are actually responsible for the most maulings and fatalities?

If you go by self reports, it's pit bulls, just like if you go by self reports Black people are abjectly just more violent than other races. You should immediately see the problem then, yeah. Self reporting alone isn't scientifically reliable in dog attack statistics, specifically because A) People don't actually know what breed(s) these dogs truly are (see even the confusion in this thread about what constitutes a "pit bull"), B) Police have been known to make up records about breeds involved dog attacks, as they will about a lot of shit, and C) No one does due diligence to examine other factors of these cases, and indeed will also randomly make shit up like "lock jaw syndrome" (fake) or "this usually good dog snapped for no reason." (There is always a reason, and most people aren't good trainers).

The science that different breeds of animal have undergone genetically selected pressure that create different average behaviour is simply not scientific.  Why?  Because self-reporting is wrong!  All living things have DNA which is inherited and expressed through variations of characteristics...until self-reporting.  Then all that shit stops existing aka non-scientific!

[Venice]

I am from the UK.

She's not saying it outright, the reason Nepenthe has no problem with dogs mauling children to death is because these dogs are overwhelmingly owned by black people in gangs.

She'd rather children die than have these dogs banned, because in her fucked up mind, banning American XL Bully's = More racism against black people.

But then, we all know she has no issues with kids getting killed (or shitty raps about it) 

Nepenthe is just a genuinely evil, nasty individual.

Edit: More Nepenthe Nonsense:



"Dobermans were bred to bite tax collectors"

A 30 second check on Wikipedia would have told her Doberman's were bred by a TAX COLLECTOR named Karl Friedrich Louis DOBERMAN to protect himself when collecting taxes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobermann

Not just a genuinely evil, nasty individual, but a lying, dim-witted one too.

She's said that exact thing in another thread.  That people only have a bad view of pitbulls because of black ownership.  She's such a fucking imbecile. Every possible thing on earth for her is viewed under the lens of her racial victim complex. Even dog ownership, of all things.

this is the kind of shit where they're embarrassed but the definition is close enough that they'll try plausible deniability, "no, I meant you're concealing your true viewpoint on this because you're actually racist"

I had a friend who would always say that somebody "laughed hilariously," and he clearly meant "laughed hysterically," but would say "no I meant that they laughed in a way that I found hilarious"

But the post that person was "equivocating" about dogs versus gun control DID sound exactly like what gun control people say. So more training, more knowledge about how to handle them, etc. But if the owners aren't going to be responsible (similar to gun owners) then we're going to keep having victims. Their argument is to ban guns - so why not do the same with the dogs?
Fuck did I just equivocate?
