How do I get my posts on Reset deleted?
I'm guessing this guy's game wasn't a hot seller on the Steam marketplace.
Sure there may be times people don't get it right but that is the vast, vast minority of the time. I just don't think the very small amount of edge cases merits some critical examination of accountability culture as a whole, there are going to be outliers with everything and to me authors who hone in on those are missing the forest for the trees and it's irresponsible to hold up the very few examples like they are at all a balanced representation.
So I'm watching porn with my lady last night and she mentioned something I never actually thought of but true.
My girl looked at me and told me how could porn be such bullshit? like not all girls love to give blowjobs andmost definitely not all girls are always clean shave.
This is meant to be a fun thread....tell me Era.. what are some misconception the porn industry is definitely guilty of?
As always MODS please lock this if things gets carried away. thanks.

Is there a way to see if for some reason I'm banned from winning giveaways? It's months I try to enter giveaway and I never win, I wonder if it is just bad luck or something else.
User Banned (1 week): inflammatory point of comparison; invoking the alt-right over jokes
Quote from: subpar spatulaYeah, he is insufferable that no one likes but he has connections so he gets gigs. The rest of the world hates the guy but a few of you feel as if we are doing something wrong with these jokes. Like, you're in the minority here. The guy is a joke.The only opinion I hold of the man is that he isn't anywhere near as good as his predecessor, Craig Ferguson, who is a legitimate idol of mine. Otherwise, I have no dog in this fight.However, people are advocating running the man over(I'm certain this same person had completely different views when the altright did it), threatening to run over, or(in your case) straight up attacking him by throwing heavy, and possibly deadly, items at him. You're not making jokes, you're being asshats. It's disgusting.

Quote from: dglavimans:’) come on now do you really believe that?From Hamilton and his theatrics I believe almost anything. Also not showing any respect for the French anthem on the podium was very on brand.It must be hard when he finishes 3rd (or 1st or whatever) and not a single soul wants to congratulate or celebrate with him, you reap what you sow I guess…

No sticky/pin? I figured this would be important enough to bring more attention to.
Quote from: Rman on September 01, 2021, 09:39:22 AMNepenthe also doesn't understand the optics of telling a black person what to think and say. In this case, a black person with very strange views.That comes off as paternalistic. The OP had some crazy views--I agree. But if white people are told to shut up about anything black related, why would Nep and Slayven think that white posters would push back? They've been told it's not something they should participate in.This is honestly one of the most unsettling things around the culture Era has cultivated to me--there is only one acceptable way to be a part of any marginalized group. People not in the group shouldn't talk about it, at all, and just listen to people in that group. But if your opinions don't align with Era's sanctioned view of what you should think/feel as a member of that group, you are extremely discouraged from presenting an alternate viewpoint because reasons. I get why they need it--it's easier to do their ranking-of-grievances when trying to figure out how to navigate situations where different marginalized groups come in conflict if you can boil each group down to just 1 thing--but it effectively creates situations where you can't do anything but reinforce whatever the current admin-approved take on things.

either benji went out of his way to reproduce the links in the quoted post, or he has a secret era account and he was able to hit "reply" to copy paste the message as originally formatted
Not streaming for a day. Some peak slacktivism energy right there. I love MarvelVGM in that Era thread thinking he’s successfully dunking on Ninja, who’s married, by saying “less chance to interact with women today”. You got him, bro. Sick burn.
is he the streamer who once said he doesn't stream with females cos his girl gets jelly? like 3 years ago? why am am not surprised some ree incel is still harbouring a grudge

Honestly, you're right. I've tried to rationalize that it might be more difficult to disassociate from Kanye because there was over a decade of him before the MAGA nonsense and everything that has come along with it since, while with Doc, there really was no "before" and this has always been his thing. But I'm absolutely being hypocritical in trying to excuse one but not the other.Both should be called out and I need to be better at recognizing when I'm applying different standards to similar situations.
Why do you want to stifle discussion on a discussion board?clowning on this dumbass is funny

Hearing about the news about abortions in Texas being outlawed after six weeks along with state Republicans creating more voter suppression bills & laws just makes me livid. Absolutely livid.Meanwhile, Democratic politicians in congress should be absolutely chewed out for not doing a damn thing to protect everyone's rights in general. That just proves how weak & spineless that they are. They can never do anything right when it comes to rights in general. And just imagine if Trump gets re-elected in 2024?I'm just tired of it all, so tired. I'm wondering if I should apply for Canadian citizenship at this point (or for any other country), because at the rate we're going, we're turning into fucking Saudi Arabia, Russia, China & North Korea with all of this draconian, fascist shit. I'm 39 years old, no criminal record, & no children or spouse, if anyone's wondering.I'm just sick of this racist, backwards ass country. Sick of it all.
I'll trash talk all I want cause this topic is trash. What's this we shit you're talking about? What, exactly, have you done besides bitch about it on an internet forum and cast a ballot? How many miles have you marched? How.much blood have you spilled? Have you even worked on a political campaign? Volunteered at a polling place? Anything at all?Where do you even live? What's your backgriund to be complaining and trying to flee to greener pastures like you are? Cause I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I'm a black man whose family comes from, and is still to a large extent in, Mississippi. And I lived there myself for a while. People with actual fucking problems who don't have the option of even pretending to chase some pie in the sky bullshit about running away to another country that'll treat them better.Yeah, I'm talking shit. Because you certainly haven't shiwn you got shit all to say.
