Wonder what's taking Mangastream so long to get their clean scans out? Got impatient and read it off Mangapanda

Resetera is fucking garbage for this and the moderators are nothing but pieces of shit bullies. I am overjoyed you made this decision! They don’t deserve you here! So I guess this means goodbye for me too. Never really posted much on here but enjoyed reading. Farewell!
To clarify further, the person was not a member of the insurance beneficiary's household. That's what's meant by non-household. That's the fact that trips things up. Paying for other's healthcare and insurance costs is a very different thing from being on the same insurance plan. Listing a person that's not related to you and that's not a member of your household as a dependent on your insurance plan is insurance fraud.
I do think many of you including myself are living in a bubble re warren. I am getting surrounded by Hillary 2.0 vibes here in MN. My wife says she doesn’t like warren. My coworker best bud says warren is a gun to the head candidate. My mom my dad don’t like warren. These are all lifelong dems and they all don’t like warren. I love her and donate to her and I hope she wins the whole thing. But honestly just the vibe to me is that she’s fucking worse than Hillary at this point in terms of talking about her from people I know. And honestly I will say she looks like a crazy pissed off bird woman in all all these debates. Everyone i watch these debates with says with no prompting damn she looks fucking crazy. Her fucking eyebrows don’t move (and that’s true). Just saying anecdotally I get Hillary vibes and it ain’t good.
No what she said is fine, they just hate black women who refuse to go along with democrat status quo-ism. See also, Nina Turner.
Nah, you making it bigger than it really is.
Since you've clearly read my PM I sent after you asked to send moderation complaints privately and there is no answer despite me trying to keep this private, Imma be real damn clear and real damn public here. Simply put, it's a BAD FUCKING LOOK for you to be not just a moderator but an administrator on this site that claims to have strict rules on piracy and do what you did to the SJ thread. This is a site where piracy in general is frowned upon and people can get banned or threads can be closed for the mere suggestion that they've done it no matter the reasons or circumstances. We can see an example of it here in this thread with people reminiscing about emulation that you personally closed because it amounted to admission and/or advocating of piracy. Yet you're the same admin who looks the other way on many manga threads whose foundations are built on this because of the history of late manga localizations. Not only that, you actively admit to piracy yourself weekly in these threads. The time people brought up the hypocrisy in the way the site has handled manga piracy and the way discussion of illegal chapters has been normalized, you ducked out of the conversation. That's a bad look on its own, a worse one when we consider the thread linked above that you closed yourself. You are a hypocrite as an admin. And now, I make one manga thread on this site where the rules of this site are actually respected, one thread that can legitimately be taken seriously on this front while not having to disrupt the rules and habits in other threads and that's the one thread you close? Because apparently, that one is redundant despite the clear support it's had and despite the fact that you didn't even give it a chance to settle in yet all these other threads normalizing discussion of illegally released material that those who prefer reading officially have to steer clear from are fine and you let those fly, actively partaking yourself? It's fine to be a hypocrite but it's not fine to have a thread about a particular magazine? I'll say it again. It is a bad fucking look for you to do what you've done. It's hard to take you seriously as an administrator of this site. If this is somehow bannable despite just wanting a thread for discussion of legally released material and despite me telling you this privately and you not responding, then whatever, you've already lost whatever credibility you had in my eyes anyway.
What a turd Alyssa Milano is. But she's a smokin' hot white woman so there will never be any convincing her that she isn't a political genius who just knows more than everyone else. She's a more youthful Susan Sarandon. More fertile, or closer to fertility. Dudes can be led around by their dicks so she's super fucking useful. Danger.
Maybe I should make SemanticRabbitholes4Bernie my Twitter handle or next band name.
You know what, I wasn't going to post here again, but before I leave (and yes, I will be requesting a permanent self-ban) people should know why I'm actually leaving. Anyone who knows me knows that I have absolutely no problem with long, extended arguments, but I do not tolerate ad hominems, and I could already see that this thread was headed down that path again after comments like yours. I've been through that too many times with poli-era, and just in general, interactions here have just not been very pleasant. This is more like the straw that broke the camel's back. As for your argument about Sanders. It's hogwash. He literally brought up exactly what you talked about, but you couldn't be arsed to look at the full exchange to see that, very much in the same way that I didn't realize how out of context Kamala's quote was, ironically. Yes, Sanders is flaky on race issues sometimes, but there are other times where he has the best responses on race issues, but that never gets acknowledged here. In fact, I don't think I've seen anyone here acknowledge just how far he's leading the pack on his criminal justice platform compared to everyone else in the field, but that's not surprising. Anyway, I wish you all well. I really mean that, but I hope that maybe one day this community can realize the kind of toxic, unwelcoming atmosphere it has fostered, because I am personally tired of it. Cheers. It's been fun.
Have you met brainchild Edit: Leaving the comment because I’m not trying to bury it, but apologies to Brainchild for the cheap snipe, as there are gentler ways to ward off a semantic argument.
Apparently not, and I'm beginning to regret the interaction.
Biggest dick blower in politics.
That Bernie thread... When you're that invested I guess everything is a slight against Bernie.
Era's complete willful ignorance on vaping never fails to amaze me. Some of you are seriously Flat Earther level.
PoliERA is one of the worst places I've ever discussed politics online, and there's a lot of bad places I've tried to discuss politics online. You all are so damn up your own asses that you clearly are incapable of even trying to understand anyone not inside your bubble.
What on earth are you talking about? Who is doing that? Stop being dishonest.Yeah sure. I sure shifted my argument lmao Nice try
your evershifting arguments are also pretty lazy we went from evidence is needed, to tone policing.
youre braver than me g. i just come here to do oppo research
We seem to be very different with our view of race. You realise you can be a shitty minority right? Blaming your style of opinion has nothing to do with your race. It's something that anyone can have.
PoliEra's greatest hits: -Is Single Payer good? -2016 yall -That dang Bernard -lol joke candidates (ft. Delaney et al) -Fuck Trump and his merry gang of fascists -BidenGaf
The person with the Nancy avatar was posting random stuff and got a lot of love for it so I figure I’d join in. It’s totally random and not directed at anyone in this thread.
Waaaah this wrestler differs from me politically! *intense crying noises and gnashing of teeth*
Is it just my imagination or does trish regan on fox news talk like she has brain damage. Perhaps she is a victim of physical spousal abuse that caused such great brain damage. Investigate her husband?
Man. I had to just hit ignore on the Etc thread. And the OP, too, who was so thirsty to make sure every complaint got a new threadmark. As the thread descended into a dogpile and banfest it just got really difficult to stomach. I'm hoping that if I can just use the ignore list feature I can enjoy the site a bit more than I have been, but it seems like toxic behavior by people who are ideologically aligned with the moderation's positions is bound to go unchecked, while crossing the moderation's personal beliefs will pretty much catch you a ban one way or another - usually because of the assertion that such disagreement constitutes "defending sexism," or "dismissing racism," no matter how careful the person is to say that they abhor sexist and racist actions they believe are happening, "Drive-by" is one that only comes out if you're not in lock-step, despite dozens of completely disingenuous, unsubstantiated, dismissive one-liners that are on the preferred side of a discussion flying by with no problem; it's a good catch-all if the mods just want to hit mute on someone who isn't down with the position being taken. This is not to say RLM is above criticism, but the discussion is never about criticizing a thing someone said, it's a rush to make a broader judgement call on who the person is. In that kind of environment it is really difficult to make this case that "I don't think they're that kind of person - here's why," even though that's the exact question being begged when the OP begins a crusade to cancel someone. And it's difficult because going there to make the discussion about the kind of person they are is engaging more with the general than the specific complaint, which treads into appearing to "handwave" or "dismiss" or "defend." I love how progressive this place is - the political threads are really fun for me for that reason, this is all just about the toxicity of the discussion trajectory that happens time and again and how moderation enables it. I don't notice it so much when the target is something I'm less familiar with, or if I agree unreservedly in the takedown in progress. In the case of RLM, it disturbed me quite a bit.
As a whole the organizations are racist and exist only to terrorize POC. A good apple or two here or there makes no difference to my larger point. The stormtroopers who built the death star are bad too. It doesn't matter if some of them only joined Vader to pay for college.
[/QUOTE] Just because people don't post doesn't mean that they haven't been around longer than you and have more insight than you.You're angry and misinformed. You take talking heads and force them to represent all that you hate with no malleability. There's a lot more to the Republican party than Donald Trump or Mitch McConnell. I apologize for how you see me. I regret that you hastily put me down. I feel that this type of attitude will be the downfall of your party's presidential campaign.
This user has 323 total messages despite being a member since October 2017, hides who can view their profile, and posted this dumbshit in a thread that's all Warren all the time. I think we should listen to what they have to say ya'll. Its important.
Come on this is a terrible fucking post. Ah yes saying the word impeachment is enough. Wow. Is it so fucking hard for her to say out loud and definitively confirm, yes we are moving forward with formal impeachment proceedings. Like what the fuck. Your stupid ass scenario you just laid out is worthy of all of the god damn criticism. Oh but she said the word impeachment so please calm down. Fuccckiing please. The shit is fucking embarrassing. Stockholm syndrome level garbage.
Those are some real milquetoast tweets from the Bernie supporters. Pretty tiring to see disagreements labeled as harassment. Twitter is a public platform.
While most of the time it’s used by the alt-right to criticize anyone who remotely disagrees with them, I’ll admit the term “sjw” really does fit some people who are always pushing further and further left and if you aren’t close to their level you’re either a bigot or an enabler of bigotry. I find that level often pushes people who would otherwise be left of center closer to a centrist or right policy since they’re “always wrong”. And no, this is not a hand wave of Rich’s horrible stream rant or some of the more questionable things RLM have said. The actual problematic content should be criticized as is, but it should not be an excuse to relitigate every piece of content they’ve ever put out to try and determine if the content was secretly bigoted in nature.
I've encountered plenty of Trump supporters who didn't bother to vote in 2016. Warren's published writings from the time speak to her political/economic position in 1980. You and Kirblar are really all aboard the "being called a racist is worse than being a racist" train, aren't you?
The Brie Larson joke getting the exact desired reaction. Beautiful.
The people who watch it are people that are cool with genocide and rape, so that should tell you the target audience.
In a time where people are opposed to lead characters being faultless and perfect, characters like Naofumi should be praised.
I don't think anyone is defending racism, just pointing out that all demographics voted leave, remain, it's not clear cut poor people voting leave, comfortable, well off people voting remain, white, black, asian picking remain or leave. Immigration fears, racism was a huge part, no doubt about it and the leave campaigns, media played it like a fiddle and the resulting leave win only encouraged racists which is a terrible outcome but one that probably needed to show it's head that it's here and will always be unfortuately, needs called out and fought against. I would also say it's not always white on black or asian hate, it does happen the other way, the fear of the other, EU immigration crossed demographics too. As for other reasons, sure people just don't like EU, believe it's a waste of money, believe all the lies over the years or maybe legitimently think we can go alone even if they are wrong or right, these people may be few and far between and it's just cover for fear of immigration, society changing, quite possible but let's not forget 70% voted in the election, 33 million people and 17 million voted leave in a country of 70 million. Hate is everywhere but I'm trying to be positive and hope we turn a corner and people see the good path now and the obvious lies.
So how are you changing hearts and minds here.
