The ONE time I got a flu shot, I did so because I could get out of work for an hour and I immediately got the flu afterwards.

Retard tries to cancel another black man, but so far it seems to have backfired. I guess even RetardEra has gotten tired of getting injected constantly.

There is this gem though:

Trevor Noah expresses skepticism over Pharma CEO's push for new vaccines-instead of waiting for unbiased opinion

What would you suggest? I'm open to suggestions. Trevor Noah signals the importance of an objective source regarding omnicron and vaccines.

Good thing he let us know he was a autistic bioengineer, otherwise we would’ve assumed he was just an autistic NEET.

He's literally just a REEtard, no actual humans are on that site.

You're out walking with your toddler, you see an old man wearing all MAGA clothing wipe out in his mobility scooter, what do you do?

Do you render aid to the man putting your kid at a low risk of catching Covid from someone who is 99% likely unvaccinated(and your child is too young to be vaccinated) or do you keep your distance call 911 and try and get someone driving by to stop and help? For purposes of the question you are...

This is such a great thread to expose their shittiness that I find it hard to believe it isn't trolling.

They don't want diversity, they want Black American Diversity.

Overwatch got hit with the same shit.

ResetERA diversity posting always reminds me of this copypasta.

What a faggot. Science twitter?
You know what science twitter should talk about? Obesity. 300.000 americans die every year from being fat pigs, worry about that instead.

 

[Arc]

Wait, these retards expect people to get flu vaccinations every year? Why do era users all act like they have the health of a 95 year old with the whiny entitlement of a 15 year old genderblob?

Perma'd a fairly prominent user, or maybe I just think they are because I always notice the avatar as I liked that movie as a teen

Look I'm Trying to Come Up with a Title to Summarize this Latest Ariana Grande look, but I can't because a picture is worth a 1000 words

I think her dad or grandpa was quoted as saying that the last name is actually pronounced "Grandy" and they were confused why she started telling people to pronouce it "Grahn-day". My guess is that "Grahn-day" sounds more latino and ethnic.

Someone needs to explain to me how the flying fuck Ariana Grande is white while someone like Klay Thompson is black.

That's been my experience with it as well. I got the flu in like 2008 or so and was super sick for a few weeks. So the next year I got the flu shot and got the flu. Wrote it off and got it again the following year and the same shit happened.

People can claim it's "flu like" all they want but whats the point of a flu vaccine that makes me feel like I've got the flu.

This comment is both hilarious and everything that's wrong with social media.

Modified version of Godfall is also free on EGS next week

edit: apparently gimp is a slur. Please change the title. PS+ such value https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/godfall--challenger-edition

www.resetera.com

Every two or three years someone gets butt-hurt enough about The GIMP (an open-source photoshop thingy) being called, well "gimp," and the same hilarious thing happens each time. Settle in, friends, because this is my favorite story about modern activism.

First, they piss and moan on a blog or twatter about it, or on their favorite hugbox forum (like Reeeee here). Second, having whipped up a full head of steam about it, they'll march proudly into the github issue tracker for GIMP and bravely post a new issue about how offensive the name is (presenting it as a "bug") and insisting it's of critical importance to change it immediately.

Third, they rally a handful of their armchair activist friends to dogpile the issue and reply with an endless stream of comments (thoroughly missing the fact that on github/gitlab, you're generally expected to use the thumbs-up/thumbs-down reactions to show support or opposition to something rather than just post endless "me too" comments) supporting the change.

Fourth, other more sane people (rightly) mock and ridicule the faggots for being ass-blasted about the name. This further enrages the imbeciles and provokes angry articles and blog posts appearing in the usual places condemning the team's insensitivity.

Fifth, the devs themselves (rightly) ignore all requests for comment from the media and the whiny assholes nagging them about it, and quietly close the issue as WONTFIX without comment, and lock it down so only developers can re-open it or comment on it further, which they never do. They carry on as normal and make no changes. Development continues as usual.

This naturally causes much seething, and some dimwit who tagged along for the latest failed attempt to rename The GIMP decides "oh hey, I can just fork the project and change the name myself!" Forking a source tree on Github is trivial, and how hard could it be to make a program call itself something different than "gimp"?

So a fork is created and there is much celebration (though nothing has yet been changed). The first commit to the new forked copy of The GIMP's repo changes just one file -- the README -- which now breathlessly explains that this New and Improved(tm) version of Not The GIMP(tm) is updated for the Current Year(tm) and is disabused of all the viciously awful and hurtful language that plagues the original.

Now, the forum where the outrage was initially sourced celebrates and cheers for this mighty victory against the ableist nah-tzees, and the same droning shit rags that published articles complaining about The GIMP's stubborn bigoted developers publish new articles absolutely beaming with pride that the project has been wrested from those monsters and put under the stewardship of a new woke development team, while simultaneously declaring The GIMP itself to be a dead product.

At this point, no code has been changed and no actual product has been built or released.

With their swollen egos barely able to fit through a standard door frame, our intrepid hero wokedevs dive into their work. Just a quick search-and-replace for the term "gimp" (replacing it with, say, "unicorn"), click "build" and they should have a shiny new installer for their macbook ready in no time!

Except none of these worthless faggots have ever so much as touched any C/C++ code, much less developed anything with it, and they typically have zero experience with the toolchains involved with C/C++, particularly the sort of "unique" build environment that evolved around The GIMP (and GTK 2.x -- its widget and UI library) over the years. They've certainly never worked with C/C++ enough to know what preprocessor macros are or what a header guard is, or why their quick search-and-replace to change all occurrences of "GIMP" in the source code with "unicorn" has suddenly broken all manner of shit across the board, including in files that didn't even change.

At this point most self-proclaimed activist "hackers" quietly abandon their attempt entirely after banging their heads against the brick wall of reality and quietly quit posting about it or making any further updates to their forked repo. No further efforts are made (by anyone) to work on or contribute to it and it's never mentioned again by anyone (especially the journoscum who hailed it as the next coming of Science (PBUH)).

Occasionally a more stubborn slacktivist will stick with it for a few days and provide some amusement to any real devs bored enough to pay attention (it's especially entertaining to graybeards like me) as they struggle to understand why renaming fucking EVERYTHING with the letters G, I, M and P in it breaks things in weird ways (especially defines/constants in header files that other programs outside the source tree might depend on, e.g. they expect _GIMP_INT_TYPE to exist and don't have the first clue about _UNICORN_INT_TYPE) and how to go about fixing it. You'll see amusing entries in the commit log like "reverting previous commit (3,143 changes in 483 files)" and "guess we can't rename hashingImproved() to hasinunicornroved() because it breaks compilation in a bunch of places."

They still give up after a little while; it never takes very long. Another entertaining way it can end is when a slightly more clever (or cynical) slacktivist makes the wise decision of making sure they can successfully compile and package the fucking thing before they start carving up the code itself. This is when they discover what prerequisites and dependencies are, and is often their first exposure to fun tools like pkg_config, GNU autotools and interesting concepts like "you need libfoo-dev, not just libfoo installed if you want the header files and other miscellany you need to compile something that uses libfoo."

After spending days trying (usually unsuccessfully) to get their toolchain to cough up an actual working binary called "gimp" that actually loads and functions normally, they throw their hands up. Very rarely, one of these nutjobs actually successfully builds The GIMP and, bolstered by the success tries to build a distributable package of it, e.g. a Windows installer or a Mac OS app package. Much fun is had by all, especially if the attempt is documented.

To date, no one has ever successfully forked The GIMP, renamed it (with consistency within its source code), built and packaged a working version of the replacement on all supported platforms (without dropping any platforms or losing any existing functionality or integrations) and distributed it in a form anyone can actually use. But there are hundreds (if not thousands) of abandoned forks of it wasting space on various source code hosting platforms -- a lasting collective monument to the incompetence and laziness of most modern day activists and SJWs especially.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Even Resetera isn't that hot on Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen's "Santa Inc."

Santa Inc. Red Band trailer (Dec 2nd) HBOMax ​

The anti-SJW crowd has been hating on this HBO Max TV show, as it looks like it's basically two vulgar Jewish people shitting on Christmas and white men in a raunchy Christmas comedy. And they might be right--the trailer doesn't make it look any good. You'd think Resetera would be all for it, but they're not.

But wait! Seth Rogen just said that everyone who dislikes this show is white supremacist!

I wonder if this will turn it all around and make fans out of Resetera.

 

[Beardfish]

Sarah Silverman is too hot for Resetera, she's absolutely haram.

 

[Shaka Brah]

Obesity. They're fat.

Anyone been watching Jeopardy lately? A Transgender contestant has been demolishing the competition

I‘ve been watching Jeopardy for some time now and I’m surprised no one has made a thread about this yet (or so i think). Anyways, Amy Schneider, a trans woman has been decimating the competition and most if not all her games have been run away wins. She bets big and wins big… I‘m talking huge...

RetardEra thinks the right will be angry because a man is doing well on Jeopardy.

Hmmm... would you be willing to consider choosing a word other than "hot" when describing Sarah Silverman?

Her face has never sit well with me. Attractive features in isolation, but they don't combine quite right. Seems like a weird combo of her midface being too long (she got the gummy horse smile), yet her face size is too small for her features. She looks better in motion, i'll give her that.

 

[Impossible Brutality]

With media, it’s safe to assume if a bunch of virgins “review bomb” (positive or negative) something, it’s terrible to begin with.

A good example is Black Panther. Got glowing praise because black people. Even for a marvel movie it was boring as fuck.
Side note: that Colin kaepernick movie on Netflix is funny as fuck. All the whites in the movie act like cartoon super villains and his parents are so bad I was in tears.

 

[Something Awful]

Oh wow, the GIMP thing is real. The woke fork was called Glimpse, and their whole website is hilarious. Imagine embarking on this two-year project to literally change a name and logo, and then failing to do even that. Check out this copium-infused final post about why the project failed: https://glimpse-editor.org/posts/a-project-on-hiatus/ (it was because of COVID, somehow).
