Nola wrote:Because the take you quoted is bullshit, like seriously, gain some basic media literacy skills and watch the actual podcast and delineate tone and context on your own terms if you are actually capable.

You came across someone lazily writing about a 45 second statement that took a stream of consciousness statement about the uncertainty of this moment and the media doing what they always do which is focusing on the most sensationalist angle and Stewart cautioned against people following suit into catastrophizing on the medias terms as a bridge to bringing on Sanders where they spent the next 58 minutes discussing how to respond to Trump, how address the underlying conditions of Americans anger, how to address our political systems corruption and moneyed capture, what policies and reforms could make people regain faith in government, how to improve labor conditions for the working class, how to get Democrats to value the norms that matter but push past the ones that don't to help actually pass their agendas, and the ways that people can stand up for workers and continually expose Trump's hypocrisy.

But by all means, go on and offer your alternative perspective on these issues if you are so fucking offended by the takes of Bernie and Stewart.

I actually would fucking love to hear what your advice is for everything they spoke about, if you can actually recall what it is their discussion entailed since you are so fucking confident in your takes. Like please, summarize their points and tell me why it is they are wrong substantively and what you propose as an alternative. And not just on the first 45 seconds but the entire fucking conversation. Like I would be very curious what it is exactly you disagree with on their criticisms of the failures of incrementalism and the failures of securing healthcare rights as a starting point for this conversation.

excelsiorlef wrote:But the media is not catastrophizing Trump, it's not a thing that is factually happening or has even happened, they've never treated him as the threat he actually is, and never will. This is a fictional media! It doesn't exist. Lambasting the media for being too scary about the future under Trump is fucking nonsense. The mainstream press sucks for the exact opposite reason Stewart is claiming.

You don't inspire people to fight by saying we shouldn't fear the worst, that we don't know what it'll look like... Trans women have already already been banned from washrooms at the capital and the new Administration hasn't even started yet...

You're doing exactly what I said while essentially calling me illiterate.

Also the other quote in the article is really interesting, because it's about the MSG rally and how the media fucked up by focusing on the jokes... but Jon Stewart fucked that up too, just differently, he did have a passionate deconstruction of the dangers of Trump's deportation plan... but he buried himself by first talking about the racist jokes and how funny he found them, a completely and utterly unnecessary bridge to his salient argument that actively causes people to tune out because he said something incredibly stupid and unnecessary and disconcerting first, fundamentally doing his own flavour of what the mainstream press did.

Nola wrote:You are boxing shadows

I am being genuine here, listen to the episode instead of basing your takes off a goddamn clickbait Variety article by an author that seems to let AI do his job for him and angles his writing for emotionally appealing clicks.

You are getting worked up over a false framing.

Literally the starting off point Stewart made was talking about America being in a tumultuous and worrisome period but critiquing the media for trying to Impose a sort of helplessness. Which bridges to 58 minutes of discussion on what to do going forward.

Like seriously, are you angry that they didn't spend that time crying and encouraging everyone toward a sort of helplessness? Cause personally I would prefer that people in positions of influence use their platforms to hash out internal failure, what we can do next, and discuss ways things that could resonate with enough people to build the necessary majorities we need to enact real change. Which is what this discussion with Bernie was trying to do.

omg

I saw chuds praising it because you can see costumes going in butt cracks.

Looking it up, the game is made by a Chinese studio. It’s sinophobic to criticize it.

People are saying it’s unironically better than Overwatch 2 because it feels like peak Overwatch 1. May download.

Is this supposed to be Galactus?

For the record I spoke out against the violence against CEOs more strongly than anybody. We need to celebrate succes not punish it.

We have all the information about everything in the world basically so we can't be ignoramus like a Russian peasant or North Korean factory worker. Sure there are people with bad luck and suckers and losers but based on all the evidence both historic and current, regions that value free enterprise and entrepeneurship are flourishing, while regions that don't fall behind.

Healthcare is a difficult thing to tackle. I think RFK Jr. has the right idea about how the government should approach healthcare and big pharma: trust but verify.

For the record I spoke out in favor of violence against CEOs. Specifically the ones responsible for YouTube ads, and the size of Mars Bars. And The Muppet Xmas Carol. It’s been 4 quid for months. All of a sudden it’s £12 just because it’s Xmas and they know people will want to watch it. Fucking Nazis.

I just have to say this about the United Healthcare CEO murder case in context to Resetera......

It is absolutely fucking insane and infuriating that a place swarming with some of the most sensitive whiniest little bitches who aggressively demand that everything must fit their liberal safe space agenda, can justify cold blooded murder and crack jokes about people getting shot in the head and killed.

It is okay to endorse the cold blooded assassination of rich CEO's, but it is not okay to be a male and talk about how you like big titties. You can get a 2 week ban for advocating murder, but you can get a permanent ban for saying that real women with big tits exist. It is okay to joke about you giving a murderer a pat on the back, but it is not okay to joke about finding an attractive woman, whether real or fictional, sexy.

It makes no sense. Nothing about it makes sense. It is fucking abysmal.

Wonder how long it takes before you get banned if you make fun of Iwata his untimely death. He was a ceo as well. Nintendo isn't exactly a charity organization.

I always saw resetera as a place where sad outcasts can talk about fantasy scenarios, without being laughed at into the ground by more normal people. To that end, seems it serves it's purpose. I'm just glad it's public so I can point and laugh.

System requirements are high, and what’s said is the ray tracing patch isn’t until the 10th, with even higher requirements.

DLSS and frame generation for a single player game are pretty good, if your card supports it.

At 1440p?
RTX 4070 Ti serves me well, can't imagine it won't run Indy at 1440p but I'm not paying for early access.

Also, sometimes these games get optimized after launch.
I remember running out to buy a new GPU when Crysis 2 dropped because it barely ran at 20fps.
Only for them to fix a performance bug in the first level a week later because of some bugged rope physics.

Bros buying new GPUs for new games like its 2004 again sould be CELEBRATED.

Galactus daughter who surprisingly wasn't even invented for this game. 
And it is funny how the character designs are pretty much the total inverse of Concord. I used to think that it's perhaps marvel who tells developers to tone down the sex appeal of characters in licensed games but this game shows that's not the case at all as they even have movie tie-ins.

A lot of these people are so privileged and narcissistic they don't consider or understand how the euphemism treadmill trivializes those who actually suffer such things as real wage theft. Or rape. Or genocide.

They advocate for communism, but seem to object to bearing their fair share of the tax burden.

I'm on a 3060 TI. It is time tbf. But that 4080 super money could be spent on holidays, my missus...who the fuck am I kidding I want that shit and i want it yesterday. I didn't bother with a ps5 pro because I knew that the graphics card was the wiser option in the long term.

The frame rate is fine with DLSS at 1440p but the IQ is shite and if I move it above medium the PC goes full ZeoGVM.

Great choice. PS5 Pro shows that these consoles still ain't shit so that 4080 Super will last you a while. 
You might also be able to sell that 3060 Ti for a decent price. Depending on the model you can easily sell it for $100 - $150.

There is nothing special about TikTok for minorities to gather on, they can also gather on Facebook, instagram, X, bluesky as we’ve seen, etc. 

This obsession with TikTok is very weird
