“Don’t associate bad things one tiny part of the group does with the whole.”

In the same post:

“Me too persecuted a lot of people and…”

literally nothing I posted was about associations and blame

to repeat: I said "don't do bad thing" and you said "you already did bad thing so who cares" which I correctly pointed out is retarded

then you said "well um ackchewally nobody will do bad thing unless it meets certain criteria" which I also correctly pointed out is retarded

[Boredfrom]

Come on dude, you have used MeToo and BLM as “bad groups” before. 


Yes, you don’t deserve your car getting destroyed for being a Tesla. Dah. 

The only thing I’m saying that appealing for law, order and procedures is kind of laughable because Trump and Musk

[Besticus Maximus]

Trump is RUINING our Lolboard. Many such cases.

[kaleidoscopium]

The average American didn't even vote so I doubt they have empathy for wealthy stranger's cars.

There was 64% voter turnout in 2024. Aside from the point though. Random violence and vandalism is retarded enough that even reeetards are pushing back on it.

You sound like a person that lives comfortably knowing that even if you lose your job that you can fall back on your safety net.

I dont read this board enough to know if im being trolled or not at this point tbh but TSLA could go to 0 tomorrow and Elon would have enough money for 1000 generations. The only person you're sticking it to random citizen #2761. It's not even like tsla is some huge sign of wealth at this point. Most common uber car I take  (as I don't have my own) are tslas. I kind of doubt those people have said safety net.

Are Teslas even a status symbol? 

They don't seem expensive and there's no prestige attached to owning one.

Nope, just normal practical cars. The 3 and Y in particular. Believe theyre both cheapest in their class all around now, at least in the US, too.

[Eric Cartman]

Loneliness is a corrosive virus. It eats at every edge of you and it fills the spots it consumes with more of itself. It forms a shell around you until that's all you know.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you. Dating is shit. Dating in 2025 is even shittier. I frankly can't even fathom the idea of trying to meet someone for the first time in this year because NOBODY is mentally healthy right now. We're all rowing our own little canoes down a river of liquid shit while rich people dance around on the sides throwing fiery bottles of liquor at the shit to make the smell even worse. Any conversation you could have with a date right now is probably going to be muted and low-energy because everyone is tired and scared and angry.

One of the biggest problems in dating is that everyone is someone's bad date. You could be the most charming person in the world and just not click with the person on the other side of the table from you for any number of reasons, justifiable or otherwise. Sometimes you could literally just meet someone on a bad day and it all goes sour. I still remember this one time when I took a girl out for dinner and she spent the entire meal watching the Olympics on the TV behind me. She may have been a nice person! I don't even know! But I never even considered texting her again after that meal.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this. Trying to judge yourself based entirely on your success dating isn't going to help. I know you said that hobbies haven't really been clicking for you but that just strikes me as you not finding the right ones. Have you considered finding a class to take? Trying to learn a new skill? When I was at my absolute lowest a few years back, and the only thing keeping me alive was literally wanting closure on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, I started taking comedy and improv classes and that turned into a decade-long chapter of my life where I met some amazing people and grew an incredible amount as an adult.

I'm not telling you to take comedy classes, to be clear. That may not be for you, and if it isn't, that's more than fine! But there are any number of things you could go out there and learn, with other people, and through those common interests and common learning processes you can make friends and find connections that will help peel that armor of loneliness off.

I'm so fucking sad we never got documentation of his years of improv.  I'm sure it would be nothing more embarrassing than the next loser.  Nothing worse or better.  He would be the stereotypical dude thinking he's unique and brings something fresh even though he is a well played troupe, passed around from group to group until he's with the D unit.  And then he realizes he better than them and it's time to move on. 

He's one of a million losers but at least you would be able to say, "that's my loser doing douche things."

Milwaukee, WI ex-security coordinator found to have had 400+ secretly recorded videos of a high school girls locker room, parents demand answers

The videos were found after the security coordinator's termination in February 2025 on an SD card located in his office. He appears to have installed a hidden camera pointing towards the sinks in the girls' locker room where he proceeded to record hundreds of short, 10-second clips from around May 2024 through February 2025. Multiple clips are seen of underage girls in their underwear, and at least one clip shows a girl partially nude with bra removed, but only exposes her back to the camera.

I guess as a result of that, of no nudity or explicit sexual content, he is being charged with invasion of privacy involving surveillance of victims under 18 as opposed to a charge involving CSAM, which is a felony carrying up to a 3 year, 6 month sentence.

The police did a sweep but did not find any other clips or hidden cameras.

The school has released a statement, but parents think the administration isn't doing nearly enough. Some are calling on more firings:

You're dodging the question quite deftly by framing this as being about babies.

The lyrics don't target all babies. Just white ones. The lyrics are also sung by a black man.

Now why, in right-wing resurgence 2018, Nazis marching in the streets 2018, online interconnectivity 2018, would a black man make pointed rhetoric towards specifically white people?

It's just a mystery, I guess.

Ahh, that's why.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00782-0
An Australian man in his forties has become the first person in the world to leave hospital with an artificial heart made of titanium. The device - BiVACOR - is used as a stopgap for people with heart failure who are waiting for a donor heart, and previous recipients of this type of artificial heart had remained in US hospitals while it was in place.

The man lived with the device for more than three months until he underwent surgery to receive a donated human heart. The man is recovering well, according to a statement from St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, Australia, where the operations were conducted.

This is pretty cool - and very metal. The fact he went home with it for a month is very positive, though the article does stress he was quite close to the hospital.

First reply.

The recent pivot to 'yes, anyone that has a physical thing that is in someway attached to a person we hate, can and should be destroyed because not only should you know better, you are 100% complicit, deal with it' is really next level.

[benji]

That is dumb as hell. The average person is not for lighting cars on fire. Lighting a car on fire isn't saving you or anyone from Elon regardless.

You sound like a person that lives comfortably knowing that even if you lose your job that you can fall back on your safety net.

So basically you are saying that you have absolutely no idea what the feelings of an average American person. Here’s the thing… When the insurance guy was murdered, what was the response? “Murder isn’t right, and this guy should go to jail. But I don’t necessarily feel bad for who was murdered.”. Now remove the murdered human, and insert a vandalized car that was manufactured by a billionaires company who currently is partially responsible for tanking our economy. So after the “Meh” response a dead CEO got, you really think the average voter gives a fuck about those cars being vandalized right now?

What’s that quote directed at Hilary Clinton? Ah yes… “It’s the economy, stupid”.

I don’t give a shit about Teslas. My cousin living the U.S. keeps trying to convince my mother to get one but she is not a fan of EV to begin with. Mind you, my cousin is not rich, far from it. So his obsession for them is purely for the luxury status. 

I m just indifferent for the plight of small business owner, Elon Musk. And is not exactly random destruction, but deliberately targeted destruction.

Come on dude, you have used MeToo and BLM as “bad groups” before. 

Yes, you don’t deserve your car getting destroyed for being a Tesla. Dah. 

The only thing I’m saying that appealing for law, order and procedures is kind of laughable because Trump and Musk

You're both utterly missing the point and endorsing the very thing you claim to be condemning and claim to be against.

Nobody is attacking Tesla's out of "economic insecurity" and being upset at any policies, they're attacking Tesla's because their subcultures have declared yet another Two Minute Hate in which they're praised for being anti-social and allowed to harm people as they desire.

The "plight" isn't about Elon or CEOs or any other elite, this is how you're so fucking missing the point it's incredible. A descent into violence as a cultural norm does not harm the elite, it harms the very people you're claiming you're defending with your stance that nobody should care about violence. The elite as a social class are protected by the very nature of being elite, they're the ones who have the social power to direct violence at the acceptable targets. Even if they are other elites this doesn't benefit any other class because it is interclass competition. Boredfrom illustrates this point perfectly by saying appealing for law and order is "laughable" because the instant one person violates any norms everyone should immediately violate all norms. Trump and Musk did bad, so we should all do bad and nobody should ever again call for good because how hypocritical? Uh, no, we're against that too. You just don't actually fucking care because you're all about scoring points against the people you're told to obsessively hate as if this benefits you somehow rather than making you and everyone else worse off.

You're simply copying the exact thing ResetERA.com and all these other "progressives" always advocate for, that anti-social behavior should be "understood" and given a pass because of that hypothetical. No, it's still wrong. Persons attacking anyone's property is wrong. Persons murdering anyone is wrong. Understanding why someone does something IS NOT ENDORSEMENT, this is the exact fucking mistake they're making with media constantly and yet here you are trying to impart this stupidity into normal ethics and morality. No, it's wrong. Violence is wrong. Useless violence that only harms innocents is even more wrong. "But but but Elon and Trump" no, shut the fuck up, you're trying to excuse wrong when it shouldn't be. We do not abolish standards because you hate someone. All you're going to get is people doing violence in response. This is Nepenthe's love of blood feuds, you're accepting the logic because you can "understand" anti-social lunatics who are most likely privileged lashing out at symbolic targets for their misdirected anger at having no control over things they shouldn't have control over.

"But but but economic precariousness" is the same mentality. The state is using violence to violate property so you're justifying random violence against random property. This is wrong. We need greater protection of property and rights not conceding to Trump that it's perfectly fine to violate them whenever you want because you can justify it to yourself. You're again endorsing the very thing you claim to be condemning, all because you delusionally think it will somehow harm someone in some spiritual or symbolic manner. Absolutely stupid, the very shit we should be condemning instead of "understanding" as valid and somehow correct under hypothetical circumstances.

As always, read some motherfucking basic theory instead of advocating for and excusing things that will only benefit the people you're claiming to oppose.

Traditional masculinity is an inherently toxic concept because men historically defined themselves in relation to the women that they subjugated.

I want to say something on a personal level, and i know you're all feeling the same. I am physically and emotionally exhausted, I am running on fumes, and I don't want to speak for the rest of the staff, but I think it's fair to say that we're in an extreme crisis, and it's effecting all of us in the community, staff included. I love you all, and I'll do my best to get this and everything else on our plate done as soon as we can, it'll just take time.

 

Does Era not realize that a descent into mob disorder and violence probably won't go well for people like them afraid of their UberEats delivery person and the other side has a lot more guns?

No, they're the heroes of the story so they're guaranteed to win. And since they're personally the hero of the story they'll never be fodder that nobody notices was killed.

A lot of these people in this here thread are insufficiently informed on the balance of perils of damaging private property in the name of revolutionary causes considering the country of their birth 

If certain people hadn’t pushed certain policies you’d all be the subjects of the house of saxe coburg gotha
