Harassing an animal for engagement is not something I can get behind.

What instances of harassing an animal can they get behind?

I’ll be honest with you about the docks thing… I have no idea why they’d use automation to replace people? Do the docks have competition when it comes to receiving goods?

Dockworker unions are notoriously militant and can hold almost an entire economy at ransom which means they can be notoriously militant.

Yes, what I said is circular, but it should give you an idea about why they are prime candidates for replacement by robots.

Do they have competition? Well, is there another way to get goods off a container ship?

Even the Pro Publica article is clear in that it's a balancing act on trying to get aid through current channels considering Isarael's government wanting to roadblock things.

And no one is saying the administration is not fumbling many aspects of their response, but everyone conveniently forgets Iran and other terror states in the region will take over without the backing of Israel.

That's why things are not black and white. As I've said there's only one view point being repeated without looking at all angles.

Assume Biden (and Harris) finds every Netanyahu action completely abhorrent, but comes out strongly on a different position than them. This gives a message in the region that the US is not backing them which would destabilize the area.

This is why they sprinkle it out in very careful methodical way.

I'm not going to sit here and assume that Joe Biden and his cabinet are enjoying seeing people suffer or oppose to a ceasefire. It's a delicate situation.

Well, I guess region spiraling into all out war, Lebanon being relentlessly bombed and Gaza turned into rubble is not destabilization of the area yet.

Forgive me for being blunt, but you sound like a golem, just a husk in a human form devoid of any empathy towards people on the ground who has been suffering for almost a year now and for whose extermination Joe Biden is responsible directly.

It's not a nuance you seek, it's an end to a valid criticism the current admin deservedly gets.

Holy shit some people really like to suck nintendo's balls sometimes lol. A lot of people are here today because of some gameboy emulator they downloaded back in the day, and for some people emulation it is still the only way to enjoy some games, even if theirs means are illegal, cheering nintendo for taking down another emulator is not going to make Miyamoto notice you.

Interesting choice of words. 

People want empathy but sure ass hell are not willing to even acknowledge why the situation started.  

Also, funny how we pretend that Lebanon is clean about perpetuating the situation.

XboxEra 9/10 the rest is on avarage 5.8.......? How? If you call yourself a reviewer be at least objective.

Please don't start bringing that kind of mentality into a review thread, it just straight up reeks of console warring mentality. Some will like it, some will hate it. That's literally the point of game reviews, and I won't ever take scores at full face value but instead the actual review itself.

[Nintex]

How is that score even remotely acceptable for a thing Microsoft has been hyping for the entire year and is basically the "big" exclusive holiday release alongside Indiana "he doesn't use guns" Jones and the Golden Retard Controller.

If it wasn't for Call of Duty to bail them out, that would've been the line-up.

I was one of those retards who bought the early access pass. It's one of the best examples, (apart from Persona 5) I can think of where a game starts off well and just gets progressively worse as it goes on. I can't even be bothered to download the expansion.

I should return to it but it just didn't grab me at all during the time I played it. None of the quests seemed to have a real pay off and all the characters were boring and bland.
Went to do some quests related to some kind of religious cult but there was just no juicy stuff like the Machine Worshippers of Deus Ex MD or the Voodoo cult of Cyberpunk 2077.

Landed on a planet to visit the office of some kind of spaceship builder who was hyped up to be some kind of war hero in documents I found.
When I finally meet him it is just another plain run-of-the-mill NPC. 

The shooting is ok and I like the art but the game never tries to pull your strings or make you feel anything.
In games like this you need genocidal maniacs, cults, gangsters, bounty hunters, natural disasters, diseases, alien invasions etc. .

It also didn't make any sense to have such an elaborate ship builder for such poor ship gameplay or to build a base when there is literally nothing that can happen or threaten(?) that base.

Thread was about to go full FUCK WHITE FOLKS until hero to all whites roguebubble points out one surprising fact.

Around one-third of participants agreed with statements suggesting that white people are being intentionally replaced by people of color through the actions of powerful elites. This belief was not confined to any particular racial or ethnic group; both white and non-white respondents expressed similar levels of agreement with these ideas.

Most surprising part of the article, I would have assumed only white people believed in the conspiracy theory (which given that 61% of the US is white would mean around half of the white population believed it) but the conspiracy crossing racial lines is unexpected.

Looking at the study though the article somewhat overstates this finding since the study only breaks down the sample into "whites only" and "all respondents":



Doing the maths to work out the poc agree/strongly agree percentages for each question gives:
Q1. 28%
Q2. 27%
Q3. 24%
So there is a gap but seeing around a quarter of poc believe in white replacement is still concerning

How will Nepnep recover? Will we see a return to normalcy in the thread?   I sure hope so. I need to see more white people dunked on!

Actually their Luddite thing is really funny considering they claim to be socialists. Similar to the anti-social thing we talked about yesterday. They basically think the entire economy and all of society should come to a screeching halt and bow down to a handful of people at all times.

This is basically the opposite of every socialist thinker. You've all seen the meme about "I was going to be a poet" "DIG THE FUCKING HOLE" but that wasn't the only point of central planning. The entire point was to achieve peak industrialization, to end scarcity with infinite abundance from all of society turning into one giant factory. In the countries trying to skip steps like Soviets, China, etc. there was no "but I want to draw furry art the old way" they'd definitely be like "fuck you, we're mass generating all furry art from now on."

These were regimes who weren't even concerned with things like maintaining supply of firewood for everyone. Nah, we need that wood to meet our targets for industrial steel smelting plants that don't work properly. Yeah, they're definitely going to be concerned about you wanting to not lose your jobs to automation.

"But that's why we need unions!" Which is also centralized and nationalized. Your local isn't allowed to strike, strikes are treason against the state now. There's no more collective bargaining because there's not supposed to be any class to bargain against, you're getting what you deserve. 

"But I shouldn't have to emotionally labor." Sorry, bruh, not only should you have to but he who emotionally labors the most will set the standards all others need to match:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakhanovite_movement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udarnik
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chollima_Movement

They don't even know what they advocate for. How about crunch?

was a common Soviet work practice of frantic and overtime work at the end of a planning period in order to fulfill the planned production target. The practice usually gave rise to products of poor quality at the end of a planning cycle.[2]

The cycle of shturmovshchina, associated with the tradition of monthly targets (on which bonuses and managers' positions depend), is described as follows. Due to the planned economy,[3] required materials and tools were not always available on time, and the work slowed as a result, or workers might have been reassigned to do something else, with the expectation that the job would be done when the materials arrive. However, when the end of a month neared, management was placed under pressure, substitute materials and improvised tools were used, and the workers were expected to produce the expected product in time.

At least you'd be freed from the exhausting never ending chase of numbers for some executive:

As applied in practice, "wrecking" and "sabotage" referred to any action which negatively affected the economy, including failing to meet unrealistic economic targets, allegedly causing poor morale among subordinates (e.g. by complaining about conditions of work), lack of effort, or other incompetence. Thus, it referred to economic or industrial sabotage in the very broadest sense. The definition of sabotage was interpreted dialectically and indirectly, so any form of non-compliance with Party directives could have been considered a 'sabotage'.

"Take a carrot, leave a carrot?" Sorry, no, you have a carrot quota to meet, back to work, comrade.

No Chud, you need to read more literature. 


Allow me to tell you about my specific brand of communist stupid: degrowth. Yes we will live in huts as the Africans do (we will never specify which African country). 
Oh wait


Well what about Lagos


Shit ummm see that’s why colonialism is bad. Can’t even find huts on google images.

It makes sense why people think that white replacement is real. 

In general there is just no interest (or money) for the citizens (be it white, black or whatever) and most governments operate on the idea that they don't trust their own citizens and can gaslight them as they please.

Also you can't look at a city like London or Amsterdam today compared to even 20 years ago and say that "white replacement" isn't a thing, it certainly is but I think the term "citizen replacement" is more accurate. Putting all the affordable housing up on AirBnB, turning public buildings like libraries, elder homes and schools into asylum centers or selling the prime real estate to Russian oligarchs is basically part of the same thing. For some reason all their policies and efforts are primarely designed to undermine working class males and not just the white ones.

It's been acceptable. I remember Redfall coming out and getting similar reviews, and Phil Spencer said in some interview--paraphrased--"damn, our internal reviewing predicted 60-70 range!".

Like...he was fully expecting and and ok with dropping a 60-70 game as a flagship Xbox title.

Lotta gems in the white replacement thread.

It is (unfortunately) not really that uncommon for minorities to go all "fuck you I got mine" on new immigrants.

Is this poster implying minorities are white?

Why I'm not surprised. I won't be astonished for Hispanics to answer this question at a higher rate than white peoples and to lesser extent Asians . Likewise, I know Hispanic that subscribe to this ridiculous notion that white people are actively being replaced.

One brave black user suggests this is a universal sentiment--the majority being bothered/annoyed/upset by mass immigration of any race--and gets DUNKED ON.

I am a black Canadian Vancouverite, and the problem I have with how rapidly the Indian population is growing in Surrey is the same as if say, the Danish or the Finish had taken over Surrey. It's a large part of our local culture being heavily diluted and has nothing to do with skin color or race. I, for one, would like to preserve our local culture and customs. Immigration in Canada needs to be better planned and executed and that's a fact.

What was the culture in Surrey before?

White people don't have culture! Also black people? Hm...OK, how's this: if your first language is the common language of the country in which you live, you don't have culture!

from the comments, sounds like the "unnofficial" server was actually the original server, and the biggest one





both servers have the same mods, and you can't even get into the new official one because they locked it due to the current drama, so the only server anyone can get into is the one with the incredibly racist mod, or something
