By diehard Go To PostWait, so Era is even more "liberal" than GAF was?Liberal’s not even the right word, it’s a particular Twitter radical version of left wing politics. They decided it was a factual statement that there are, in fact, zero good cops. Anywhere.
Meanwhile on the gaming side they had a really GAF moment with angry denial that treating people in a shitty manner in online games had any connection with your ‘real’ personality. “But doctors do it!”
Maybe they just need time to grow and stabilize, but it’s pretty junk-tier right now. I felt like back in the prime GAF days the crazies were balanced out by educated voices.

By s y Go To PostHave y'all seen the takes in slaent's political thread?This community’s a lot different. Like with the cops thing, I think there are enough mature voices here that we could have had that conversation acknowledging that there’s an institutional pressure to circle the wagons which allows racism, police violence and corruption to perpetuate without having to pretend there are no decent people wearing a badge who are against it. Or got into police work precisely because they came from communities affected by those things.
Three sides of the same coin tbh
There's no shortage of places on the internet that consider themselves progressive but lowkey casually shit on minorities and women pretty consistently. Worst part is the long pedantic essays that are nothing more than a drawn out way of saying a pejorative/slur. Please treat that person nicely even as they dehumanize your very existence though they wrote paragraphs. The faux intellectualism is aggravating.

Pingu was the best. Fond childhood memory.
Sad to hear his creator has passed, but he will live on through the generations of kids (and adults) to come.

By giririsss Go To PostWait, people defended the 30year old man child?To read for fuckery or to not read for sanity, shit.
Scust.
I would have defended him if it was completely out of the blue but his parents had asked him to leave for months so no sympathy.
There are ways to contribute even without a job. You become the primary cook, cleaner, laundry person, work on the house, clean gutters, do yard work, etc. Just do stuff so your family doesn't have shell out money to gardeners or use up their own time since you have an abundant amount of it.
im watching the Desus and Mero vid, this asshole was really like "they don't provide laundry or food."
IM DEAD.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostI would have defended him if it was completely out of the blue but his parents had asked him to leave for months so no sympathy.There's nothing really wrong with him. He was just a lazy piece of shit who wanted to live in his bedroom.
At some point your parents are meant to be able to live their lives again.
There's literally no defense for it. Move out and grow up.
By Random Ass Username Go To Postim watching the Desus and Mero vid, this asshole was really like "they don't provide laundry or food."He basically tried to claim he was no longer a child living at home. but a tennant. That didn't provide rent or other services. Hence his claim to 6 months eviction notice.
IM DEAD.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI'm dying at all of this holy shit. He even has a kid? GOD DAMNIT.Didn't think so. Where'd you read that?
By giririsss Go To PostDidn't think so. Where'd you read that?He was fighting for custody I believe. An excuse he gave as to why he couldn’t look for work/place to live.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostHe was fighting for custody I believe. An excuse he gave as to why he couldn’t look for work/place to live.how does it keep just getting worse...
good lord. The hot takes in that resetera thread are stupefying
"I assume his parents are rich if they're suing him"
"They shouldn't have wasted the money suing him, they should have given that money to him to help him move out"
"But what about when the parents are old, and they are going to need help around the home?"
There's a lot of people pointing out the stupidity of it. But cmon.

Glad that you've been back doe.
By s y Go To PostSo he wasn't paying his parents anything? My mom charged me rent when I got my first job lolHe contributed nothing. he was living like an 8 year old. Eating his parents food, not doing any chores, not contributing money.
By s y Go To PostSo he wasn't paying his parents anything? My mom charged me rent when I got my first job lolEven after multiple notices the parents even gave him $1100 to get started somewhere else.
He plans to appeal the ruling.

By livefromkyoto Go To PostThe GAF/Era split has been so weird. Era should have ended up as the more enlightened version of GAF, but it’s full of shallow takes on social justice issues and crazy people. Their thread on that 30 year old guy whose parents sued him to move out of the house is full of people who got set off by it and are low-key defending him. Takes like saying anyone who has kids and expects them to have to work is a bad person. People who criticize the guy getting told off for privilege with zero sense of irony.
GAF meanwhile is full of Trumpers pretending he never did anything wrong and it’s just a liberal narrative.
I don’t post on either of them, but it baffles me how both communities ended up worse.
I mean.............
The old sayin goes, "The more things change the more they stay the same"
And lets be fuckin real, ERA wasn't gonna be a better GAF unless they went full mile and pulled recipes on who said/stan'd/cape'd over at the other site before they handed out sign-ups.

I really thought they could've turned a corner at first then I saw they made Slayven a mod I knew they had no fucking priorities as a whole.

By DY_nasty Go To Postthe best mods are ironically the best trollsBy that rationale, I should be a mod.

having barely any custom tags for regular users but all the mods having them and having them be self-done reeks of vanity
I'm in the boat of nothing wrong with living with anyone really long as you pull some weight and agree on terms. If you're not gonna do that then it's a reasonable demand from the owners for you to gtfo or get your shit together.
My nightmare is that my children will face a society in which becoming economically independent isn’t feasible until the age of 40
You're in carpentry or something right? Just factor that in and build an inlaw apartment on your next place. They can stay in it and pay rent and all that shit. Then you can switch when you become older and they're building a fam. If you got two it will probably still work out, there's always one that wants to get way the fuck away.

I was semi joking too. I worry about that but it’s more for their sake.

Your kids will be able to move out.
Of state.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI'm in the boat of nothing wrong with living with anyone really long as you pull some weight and agree on terms. If you're not gonna do that then it's a reasonable demand from the owners for you to gtfo or get your shit together.Absolutely nothing wrong with living with your parents at any age. As long as you're not doing it because you want to be 8 years old.
Lots of post grad degree's take YEARS. Becoming a doctor takes almost a decade of study. And you aren't earning shit while studying full time.
Homes are expensive in a lot of places. Nothing wrong with saving to buy a home, while living at home.
You can lose your job really easily. As long as you're working to get another one, there's no shame in living at home while out of work.
Some parents aren't able to look after themselves. They NEED their kids at home. Whether it's because they can't make rent on their own, or are sick / injured. (Though, you'd hope the parents in the first situation are working on a solution for the kids sake).
You're sick / injured and need help at the moment your self.
There are tons of valid reasons to have to move home at any stage in life. But none of them are "because i don't want to move out and grow up".
Living at home seems to only really be a stigma in the US and the UK. Pretty unheard of in some countries to move out before you are married.
Nothing wrong with it if unless you doing it just so you can play video games all day.
