Confirminaton on being an assistant to the manager of a Gamestop store?

Benji, your thoughts?

sure would be good to link to the video they're talking aout for context, I wonder why they can't?

"Carlos Mencia finally responds to the accusations of joke stealing made by Joe Rogan ten years ago, with an infamous on-stage confrontation at The Comedy Store"

Er, no- he talked about this at least a few years back and said how he went through therapy following his career getting killed.  Is he back to making shit up again? 

Listening to it, yup- he is.  Now he's saying he didn't address it based on managers telling him not to?  LMAO.

[bork]

Here it is.  From 2017.

[bork]

He says people are apologizing to him for believing Rogan.   

Dude still can't own up to what he did.  There's plenty of proof out there- this is the best one.

[remy]

Is joe gonna have to bring out the turn side kick?

[nudemacusers]

Sad to see Patton Oswald getting canceled doubleplus unpersoned from the progressive library in that thread.

[Pwnz]

Seems that "environmentalism through suffering or it doesn't count" is the new dog by rescue only.

Disgusted by the number of dismissive, self - entitled, hands over ears comments in this thread.

if these are the comments in a seemingly Liberal /let - meaning forum, then I fear to think what the rest of America thinks. It is pretty obvious that there will not be any meaningful change.

 

[Potato]

I mean, we've covered this before I think. Running airconditioning all the time is a pretty fucking ridiculous thing to do.

Sure, but if it's 100F you aren't getting me to stay with just fans. Fans don't do shit.

Speaking of things: I doubt it's America alone that is the problem. See: Centers, Data.

[Pwnz]

I pay 9.3 cents per kWh for 100% renewables instead of 6 cents for whatever is cheaper. Totally within reason to subsidize renewables, but nope doesn't count because there's no personal sacrifice...that's like the most egotistical thought process.

[Don Rumata]

I tried air conditioning, but it costs too much.
I agree that fans do really little though, mostly i use anger and day dreaming to cope.

[stufte]

I have an electric vehicle and solar panels, I can do whatever the fuck I want with my AC.

 

[thisismyusername]

Unless you're putting an industrial fan in a room (spoiler: Don't do this if you've got loose paper/etc. lying around) those mini-fans don't do shit even in a shoebox apartment.

And thinking on it, I'm not sure how much better the energy draw for the motor of said industrial fans are over AC alone.

Did Bronson Lee get hired to astroturf for the Epic Game Store?

[Pwnz]

If I were on a budget I'd be open to room only ac, but with the Texas heat no ac in the rest of the house would warp materials and spoil food.

Amazing how Reeeee is all for fighting climate change until it might involve cutting down how muhrica's absurd use of AC

A security expert saying Pakistan is a threat must be racist.  Because they are at war with India?

Like, when I tell people I have been on HRT but over 5 years but am still closeted in my day-to-day life, there is a shocking sense of disbelief, and when I explain that its because I am uncomfortable presenting when I do not pass, I am met with an extreme amount of disdain and hostility for expressing such a sentiment.

I have been called racist, sexist, a traitor, a liar, and a terrible person for expressing a desire to pass as cis or for being open about my own incredible discomfort with my male body. I have had people outright use the exact same language used by gender critical feminists and conservative reactionaries to shame me wanting surgery, or even for taking hormones. I’ve been told that its “no big deal” if kids and teens get gatekept and forced to go through the wrong puberty because “they’re still valid regardless of their appearance”, which is a fine sentiment sure, but once again completely erases and invalidates Gender Dysphoria. This has happened repeatedly over the past couple years at support groups, online communities, and even with therapists who professed to be trans friendly.

I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, but if you stopped pretending to be a man in day-to-day life, things might get better.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24262241

Try to guess which one was banned. 

But yeah, as soon as I knew about HRT I started buying the meds from IHP. I was fortunate enough to have my own checking account by then.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24262738

Minorities leaving in droves. 

But seriously what a fucking awful ban for a trans person who wants to talk.  Unless you are Excelsorif Era hates trans people even more than us!

[clothedmacuser]

I don't like airing this out, but be careful with the person who continuously makes alts, they're a self-hating trans person who keeps coming back to spread their vile shit, and has already riled up at least one person leading to a perm earlier in this thread

Just...ignore and report, the mods have been doing a great job

https://www.resetera.com/threads/in-a-dilemma-about-natalie-wynns-tweet-about-pronouns.138596/post-24266049

Yep.  Mods certainly do a great job of banning people who have mental issues and are asking for help. 

[Transhuman]

Gender dysphoria is a condition not a lifestyle. Goddamn these people are transphobic.

Spoilers 😬

Thanks for the spoilers. Seeing the movie tomorrow night.

thanks for spoiling in the title...

Hopefully one day society will view spoilerphobia in the same light as homophobia.

Until then, stay vigilant!

how about dont kill and rape kashmiri people and let kashmiri people decide if they want to join india or pakistan which india promised in UN in 1948. then maybe there wont be any nuclear threat

LMAO Pakistani shills on REEEEE promoting nuclear war against India 

That website really attracts all the best people.

A gears logo? Literally WTF? Is this because of the spider man and Sony thing?

They did it cos they did one for God of War and something else apparently and it’s only fair.

Seems weird though because of what their video game side user base is known for.

NB’s are gonna have a massive backlash reckoning

Someone on Facebook said,”Imagine being a content creator for far left sjw types. It must be tiring making content for an audience who always are looking for a reason to kill you.”

There's a nonzero amount of people on Era looking at that skull on the logo and mulling over whether or not that kind of imagery is appropriate and represents the site in bad spirit considering it hearkens back to incidents of mass genocide.

[Uncle]

it's  that people are starting to identify as NB solely because it's out of fashion to be male

people joke but there should totally be a movement to fill out the $6 paperwork and make it official until there are no more men

[Himu]

Most NBs are female born.

[samir]

Why are there so many transgender, binary, etc people now compared to a 100 years ago?

[Ghoul]

100 years ago they would have been chucked into mental health facilities forever.

[SmokyDave]

Why are there so many transgender, binary, etc people now compared to a 100 years ago?

Videogames did it.

[Himu]

Why are there so many transgender, binary, etc people now compared to a 100 years ago?

Maybe because medically/physically transition wasn’t possible 100 years ago.

What, is some fucking person 100 years ago going to find estrogen and shoot it up or take it in pill form?

Back then they’d be seen as gay and just cross dress/do drag. Trans suicide rate would be much higher without viable transition as well.

This is ironic coming from the author who just can't help himself from integrating actual spoilers within his own stories. It's my biggest pet peeve with Stephen King's writing, honestly. He just loves starting chapters with stuff like "And then he woke up for the last time in his life," which lessens the impact of coming events enormously. You can't look away from spoilers like that.

all those bearded ladies that put in zero effort just want attention for something in their mostly empty lives where they have accomplished nothing of value

I LOLed a few times but yeah it wasn't earth shattering.  At least he seemed more into it, rather than his past couple of specials, where he looked super high/bored.

I think the Netflix mold of comedy that is dictating a new hour every year is resulting a lot of watered-down content.  I really haven't been impressed with a comedy special for a while.

just talking about recent coming-outs that seem to be on the rise

http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=46206.msg2687158#msg2687158

Last year, Peter Coffin, a bearded, male-presenting feminist, came out publicly as nonbinary because “I am physically happy with myself but severely dislike my place in the gender dynamic.” In fact, Coffin wrote, “it just felt like the dynamic didn’t apply to me.” Ignoring the fact that Coffin still reads as male to the world at large (and will continue to reap the accompanying benefits of such, whatever they might be), it’s not hard to see the reasoning: Men are Bad. I am Not Bad. Hence, I am Not a Man.

On his podcast Joe Rogan said that most comedians use it as an advertising platform to seek out new audiences in overseas markets, sell tickets, DVD's etc. . Plus it's easy money and little effort if they already have a show planned anyway.
The logistics are sometimes a hassle though and he said there were definitely some rules in place on the format of the specials on Netflix with regards to crowd interaction and such. I think he discussed it with Bill Burr.

Dave really put some nice effort in his special. Overall it was a great hour of comedy.

“I am physically happy with myself but severely dislike my place in the gender dynamic.”

I love being a man outwardly but I hate that men get shit talked so hard, so I'm gonna have my penis and get it sucked too. basically.

I don't have data. It's from interaction with NB's and NB communities. I notice most are female born. Many come to it from some sort of feminism. Many will claim to be NB while presenting as female and looking as feminine as all possible. They're using it as some sort of political identity.

You'll see stuff like this on lgbt social media all the time:

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/08/13/can-you-be-both-non-binary-and-lesbian/

Google image search non-binary and most are female born.

It's just that the most outspoken models for NB movement are male born because it's more provocative and in your face to have someone who has lots of hair in a dress wearing makeup while not giving a single fuck.

negatively targeting men when your products are used by men is a bad idea? geez, it would have taken elon musk's galaxy brain to figure that out.
