How is it reading you dumb fuck? They are AUDIO books.
It's different in the sense that you're not literally using your eyes to read yes, but in effect audiobooks and proper books are the same thing once you've acclimated to hearing it instead of seeing. When you're reading you're just doing the audiobook voice in your head, audible cuts out the middle man. I get through dozens of audiobooks a year. Horror novels at the gym is my happy time. Love it.
Would be a bit like saying James Joyce never wrote a novel because he dictated them.
Ehhhhhh… I usually pick an actors voice to represent each character in the books. I don’t have a male doing a high pitched women’s voice saying “Hey, big boy!”, or a lady doing a deep male voice saying “Hey, big boy!”. That’s why I can’t stand one person reading the book for me. I get so tired of the bad acting, I end up quitting halfway through.
It’s like listening to a late non-binary person attempt to act out every character, and being 2nd hand embarrassment.
This is the most normal way of telling a story for the whole of human history, tbf. What the novelist Fred durst called the he said she said bullshit.

It is 2024. No one should assume that humanity marches towards progress. This is the kind of world Republicans want in the US.

They literally want that too. Got the horse blinders on again.
I'm all for liberal Islam (and for people who believe in the religion yet don't want to harm others and are peaceful), but this fundamentalist shit is an absolute tumor that needs to be excised.
If you’re not even progressing towards the apocalyptic end of days battle between good and evil what are you even doing on a forum bro

Every post going on about how B-Dubs is an abusive monster was never tempered by Nepenthe, either. You know she saw those posts about a white man abusing a minority who dared to step out of line and thought to herself, "They're right...this is my black Tulsa...."
Please announce your resignation B-Dubs. Destiny must fulfill what the soothsayers have been whispering in the forests all along, Nepenthe's ascension to the throne must be completed. I beseech you. I BESEECH YOU.

nepenthe acting like people not wanting to do service oriented work is about ~getting away from the peasants~. I think most people don't want to do it because it FUCKING SUCKS.
her post reeks of jealousy; I'm sure she'd do anything to get out of the rite-aid pharmacy and work as a vidya animatory full time.

The ResetEra guide on how to criticize anything and not be banned for an -ism.
1. Frame your criticism through the lens of how right-wing politicians in the western world want the same thing, no matter how unbelievable.
2. Bonus protection points for implying right-wing politicians would do it even worse.
Amber and Johnny both seem like assholes with issues to me. At least Johnny can sober up and visit sick kids in the hospital as Jack Sparrow, where Amber probably sees visiting people less fortunate than her as below her.
Johnny needs to fix his wardrobe and teeth though, they're atrocious. Plus I don't even think he remembers what his original accent sounded like.
Also: has anyone questioned why queen Nepenthe wasn't wading into the thread and piling up mountains of bodies with her almighty Banhammer back when the Depp/Heard thread was active?
Her higher level consciousness allowed her to see what was plainly happening, even at the time. Did the ghost of Emmett Till tell her to stay her hand, I wonder?

How Nep sees herself how she'd be in the past.
Since we were talking mods earlier and who is/isn't one, the 'recent' changes are as follows:
- spineduke demoted to regular User
- Moogle was on a break and for a while now has been demoted to regular User
- Princess Bubblegum has recently gone on a Break
- Snormy is now also on a Break
- Delphine was on a Break, and is back now as of May/June.
I have too much free time at work and this takes me minutes to track, so I do.

People at least went to prison for rioting on Jan 6th, meanwhile the Synder Cut criminals have escaped justice to this day.

It is tricky to find lesbian content on the internet so you can understand that research taking up more time than moderating

Maybe B-Dubs forced Nepenthe to be silent during the Depp/Heard trial as part of his sexual abuse of her? As part of his plot to help Gamergate achieve more victories in the war.

I love when they straight up advocate for trial by social media...the fucking retards.
Quote:Thesis: There was a general failing of progressive communities and creators to shed light on the trial and use critical thinking at some of the more outlandish claims because the victim was already an unlikable figure and the economic incentive was to either remain silent or dunk on her with tiktok memes while becoming body language experts.

Thanks for bolding this, as my above post of all that Twitter shit shows, this thesis is clearly false.
He's basically saying they must not have done it because nobody bought what they were selling. One of progressives favorite excuses for why people don't agree with them, we must not have gotten our message out, they must not have listened, they must have false consciousness, etc.

They literally are like DSP on steroids that are designed for fucking idiots. Can't follow tutorials, instructions, what's going on screen, tells, etc.
Zodiac murdering ResetERA.com tier threads today.
Mod wading into a thread that’s discussing men being victims of abuse, mod proceeds to make it all about her, engages in whataboutism (a ban for anyone not in the clique, especially in a thread like that), gets away with all of it.
Please Bdubs. Remove this absolute loser of her mod status, perma ban her and tell anyone who has a problem with it to go make a new forum. Her bullshit would not be tolerated on any other site. Why do you continue to allow this? Do you have absolutely no spine? Jesus, man.
