Blueball is probably some nobody we have never noticed.

It is most likely true that a prominent or staff member would not deign to sign up somewhere where they know control over the narrative would be denied them.

It's the quiet desperation that makes him stand out.

I have information that will lead to the arrest of Benjary Clinton.

I do find it funny just how similar Era moderation is to cops.

Marking posters for death, waiting a few days until eyes aren't on them anymore, then banning them in a dead thread to cover their tracks.
Going way out of their way to protect their own, especially when they commit flagrant offenses that would get anyone banned in a normal forum.
Giving certain posters special protections while they proceed to cause chaos and bring down the average IQ in every thread they enter.
Banning posters with completely disproportionate punishments in terms of length and zero consistency.
They go out of their way to make new rules impossible to find, so they always have a card in their back pocket that gives them the perfect excuse to execute someone if they can't find a problem in their post.

All of this is textbook police corruption!

User banned (2 weeks): dismissing concerns surrounding xenophobic commentary

Because it's saying your race has something to do with your capabilities...

It's like saying "I'm surprised you could do that, ya know, being Chinese I expected you to do worse."

I feel the one bringing race into it is you. The OP is clearly not talking about this subject in regard to race but instead overall culture. You have your own view on this but to me I don't think the OP is some racist, I just think he was approaching the subject how I mentioned.
It's obvious that we're coming at this from two different perspectives and neither are budging so I won't argue with you.

Oh, this game is unbalanced and anti-competitive? Nice, putting it on my wishlist now. Any good Dragon Ball-game shouldn't be balanced, because it makes no sense. Balancing is what ruined Smash Bros Ultimate imo. Fun is more important than balance.

Nazis fleeing to Argentina for refuge, whats old is new again.

Seeing some Israeli media writing about the legal risks IDF face when traveling abroad and things they need to keep in mind.

These murderers should never be able to vacation in peace. I hope this fear of accountability and prosecution hang over them for the rest of their lives.

 

A 21-year-old Israeli reservist traveling in Brazil fled the country after a federal Brazilian court ordered police to open an investigation into claims that he committed war crimes in Gaza.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the Consular Services and the Israeli Embassy in Brazil escorted him and his family until he crossed the border out of the country.

The order came following a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a pro-Palestinian organization based in Belgium, which claimed that the soldier actively contributed to the destruction of homes in Gaza. His father confirmed to Israeli news outlet Ynet that his son has left Brazil, and that the family is awaiting his return to Israel.

The case opened against the soldier says that on November 12, he was filmed with his friend right before a strike that destroyed houses in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In the footage attached to the court filing, two soldiers are seen in front of a partially destroyed building, smiling to the camera. One of them is alleged to be the soldier who was in Brazil until recently.

In a different video, shared on social media and also attached to the court filing, a controlled explosion in the Strip is shown, with the sound of soldiers laughing n the background. One of the soldiers can be heard humming the song The Final Countdown. According to the court, both pieces of footage are from the same place, with the first being taken some time before the second.

Meanwhile, there are further reports that hundreds of Chilean attorneys have contacted the authorities of Brazil and Argentina, in a request to arrest another Israeli reservist visiting South America.

A Ministry of Diaspora Affairs report from late December lists other soldiers who were named on social media as those who took part in the war in Gaza and have gone abroad. Different accounts on X and Instagram have been doxxing soldiers who posted footage of them participating in the fighting in Gaza, by exposing their personal details online.

There are often direct links attached to these posts that lead to the soldier's own social media accounts, and the doxxers encourage other users to attack the soldier online, call their workplace, or harass their family. In some cases, the posts would say the soldier is currently vacationing in a specific country – what could be interpreted as a call to physically harm them.

So, first of all, as we all know, doxing is wrong and nobody should do it. Second of all, these are people who are identified with actual allegations (even if questionable), not remotely every Israeli citizen. The concern expressed by the Israeli officials in the piece is that people like effingvic will not distinguish the two. Obviously, Israeli officials don't consider any of their citizens to have committed war crimes in Gaza but the distinction between those who can be accused of at least something and all Israelis is important or it's easy to drift into the claim that any and all Israelis should fear "no peace" outside of Israel. Something I don't think effingvic, any of the other regulars in that thread or silenced members like Nepenthe would have any problem at all with. Fuck around and find out, collective nation of Jewish people.

A., who The Inquirer is identifying by the first letter of her first name because of safety concerns, is new to the world of shooting ranges and target practice. As a trans woman who lives in Philadelphia, she began seriously considering armed self-defense this summer, as she saw Texas uphold a ban on gender-affirming care for minors and Florida prohibit nurse practitioners from prescribing hormones to transgender people. She watched with increasing dread as Republicans spent nearly $215 million on network TV ads portraying people like her as a dangerous threat to the country.

“Three months before the election, that’s when the alarm bells started to ring,” A., who is 24 and speaks carefully and thoughtfully, said recently. When she mentioned wanting to learn how to fire a gun to friends, they stared at her blankly.

But she felt she couldn’t have been more rational. On Nov. 2, she bought her first gun, at Delia’s Gun Shop in Northeast Philly.

“Minorities that are armed are more difficult to legally oppress,” she said. She was reassured by the idea that “in the event of hate crimes or terrorist attacks, knowing that, ‘OK, I’m personally armed and I can protect my property and people that are close to me.’” She is applying for a concealed carry permit in Pennsylvania, though she doesn’t plan to carry the gun with her every day.

By the end of her practice at the outdoor range at French Creek State Park, bullet casings littered the ground near her backpack and water bottle, which was decorated with rainbow hearts and a “Protect Trans Kids” sticker.

“There’s definitely a feeling among a lot of LGBT individuals: ‘If I can’t protect myself, who will?’” said Madeline Shearman, a trans woman based in Glen Mills who runs a casual and growing “2A social group” in Pennsylvania. “I feel that way myself.”

The devastating mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Florida in 2016 was another catalyst. That’s when Matthew Thompson, who lives in Oakland, N.J., purchased his first gun. A gay man and custom leather worker, Thompson often travels to leather and bear events on the weekends, and feared what might happen. He began practicing drills at home — setting a timer on his phone, wearing his unloaded gun around the house, and drawing it quickly when the timer went off.

Days after the presidential election, he began pursuing his concealed carry permit in New Jersey. He is also organizing other LGBTQ people to practice at a local gun range.

“The people I’ve been seeing on the left and the gay people who are out purchasing guns for the first time, it’s all about self-defense and fear,” said Thompson, who is 36. “We’re not looking to arm up and storm the Capitol. We just don’t want to be put in concentration camps.”

Doug, a therapist who asked to be identified solely by their first name to maintain professional privacy, joined the SRA after the election. They had been in the Boy Scouts growing up, had shot BB guns at camp, and gone to the shooting range occasionally with friends. But they had never owned a gun.

They attended the gun-safety class. Then in early December, they purchased their first gun, an AR-15. Doug was partly motivated by the fact that their official identifications are gender nonspecific, which could alert authorities to the fact that they are nonbinary. They feared they might not be able to buy a gun in the future.

“This country is not, I wouldn’t say, on very solid footing,” Doug said. “As a Boy Scout, I’d rather be prepared.”

Notice the lack of cis allies arming up and getting in the streets.

Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy XIV, Minecraft, Street Fighter 6 and Sea of Thieves, to name a few, are a live service games. Would you ever question the value and worth of those?

Why? Because it receives one character every other three months? Or because they have a season pass?

In that case, every fighting game is a 'live service' game

According to some even Hitman World of assassination is a 'live service' game. LMAO

You mean the game that doesnt get any updates ever

I often feel like Kyuuji and Angie are the soul of Era, but I also wanted to give a shout out to Morrigan whose insight I always appreciate.

I 100% agree with this. Kyuuji and Morr are most definitely the soul of ree. One is a fat, bald incel who has spent years organizing ban baiting and bullying campaigns against users he doesn't like. He's also created 3 hate threads dedicated to stalking and harassing a woman because of her opinions. The other is a pedantic, mean spirited, bigoted, racist who spends her days bitching at users for wrong think. The 2 of them represent everything wrong with that forum.

They always stretch the definition to the loosest one possible so no one can get mad at their precious live service games. Meanwhile everyone knows that sony's live service initiative doesn't mean they're making a game like street fighter 6
