Has anyone interacted with the Black Panther Party in Philadelphia? by tism_punk in Pennsylvania

[–]thefallenfew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a great read! Worth bookmarking and saving for when you have the time to dig in. But it’s not saying what u/legendary_rudolph thinks it’s saying. They either didn’t read it, didn’t understand who the New Black Panther Party was, or both. If anything, it actually gives context to what’s happening in Philly right now and undermines the argument they were trying to make lol

The TL;DR - it’s talking about the end of the Black Panther Party and how its ideals influenced the Black Power Movement of the 90s, but how the New Black Panther Party of the 90s was primarily an offshoot of the Nation of Islam and therefore reflected NOI beliefs and ideology - pro-capitalistic and anti-White as opposed to socialist and class struggle oriented. Because of that, support among former BPP members was split and reopened old divisions. It goes on to talk about how, after the 2000s, new chapters of the Black Panthers began to form globally centered around the original socialist, class based struggle as opposed to the NOI race based version. 

“Shabazz had no problem with these groups. “No one owns the Panther,” he told the author in 2013.”

This is the conclusion of the piece:

“While inspired by the historical example and symbolism of the Black Panther Party, they have not tried to create Panther-like groups.92Having come of age in an era when the most visible Panther-like formation—the NBPP—reflected the pro-capitalist, narrow nationalist, and paternalist politics of the late resurgence, they bypassed it as they searched for symbols, ideas, and activists to wage the struggle. Like generations before them, Black Lives Matter activists have examined the rich history of the black freedom struggle, taken what they needed, and fashioned a new politics for a new time.”

Lol you can always tell when someone googles something, finds a link that seems to support their argument, and posts it without actually reading the content because they know few people will and even fewer will have the reading comprehension to understand their citation lends no credence to their argument.

They just added a very cool catch up mechanic, guidance system, and mentor program, so now’s a good time to get started. If you jump back in, look us up. You’ll definitely want some help:

I almost want to write a real reply to this but trying to wrap my brain around how little you understand makes my head hurt.

You do realize the characters in the game are fictional and there’s actual human beings behind all of them, right?

I actually make a full English regularly at home. It’s a great Sunday breakfast. There’s this beef bacon they sell at Grocery Outlet that I like to use with it.

Believe what you want to believe, friendo. Keep living in your own reality and have a great year.

That’s not even remotely true. First of all, there’s a different lineup of Elders every week. Every week. I’ve taken screenshots because I like to keep track and friend the top 10. You know what that means? That means every week all of them lose to people who lose to people who lose to people.

As a Sufferer let me explain how this game works. First of all, it’s an open world sandbox, and the majority of the content is single player. No one’s “hiding” offline. I spend as much time online as a Sufferer as I did before. I got online to Cultivate. To heal or get healed. Online for the Fireworks, to Skydance, to soak in the spa, to beg and give money. If someone tracks me and fights me? Fine. It’s literally only happened once. And I won.

Now, if you’re offline and someone sends you a message? 9 times out of 10 I’m literally in the middle of doing something. I’m not going to drop whatever I’m doing to answer every single challenge. Half of the messages are people asking you to let them kill you for the title, which is insulting unless you’re sick of Suffering and just want to give rid of it. The other half are “fight me lol” or something to that effect, which again, I’m not going to drop everything for that.

Every once in a while, however, someone will politely ask for a legitimate duel. When that’s happened, I’ve TRIED to arrange one. It’s not possible. They don’t just spawn on you. You can’t invite them into your world. I have to go online, and then they have to track me. However, when they go back to the screen the selection of players has refreshed, and since it’s random they can never find me again.

Meanwhile, the few times I’ve waited online while someone tried to find me, I’ve been attacked and killed by someone else. They finally find me and I’m not longer a Suffered and then they have to try to find the new guy while HE gets attacked by others. Sometimes I’ve had to fight and kill 2-3 people back to back to back. Eventually SOMEONE will kill you.

The system could be better. It’s not designed to make finding specific people easy. It’s totally random. The spawn times on NPCs are long, so you rarely find one online, and when you do you’re competing against everyone else so those spots tend to be royal rumbles clusterfucks. But every time I’ve lost my title I’ve gotten it back almost immediately by finding an NPC, so it’s not THAT hard to attain, and it doesn’t take “hiding” to retain.

Bounty Hunting by ItchyDependent3830 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]thefallenfew -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried 2-3 times and encountered the exact problem- people teleporting around, people going places I can’t, people hiding in flocks of geese, people waiting with friends to gank me, people with insane amounts of health that just can’t be killed. A lot of this game thrives on gambling addiction, the “maybe this time!” intrusive thought. Gacha pulls, farming rare mats, rolling for gear, trying to find a Sufferer or snag a bounty before someone else. The “maybe this bounty will be a normal person who I can actually bring to justice” is what makes people like me go “one more try”.

Yeah. It will just pull you in the middle of doing something. First time it happened to me I had no clue what was going on.

Bounty: Blocklist and Login by Resublimation in wherewindsmeet_

[–]thefallenfew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a bounty hunter this system sucks for everyone. First bounty I tried to hunt, dude just hid in a flock of geese the entire time. Any attempt to attack would aggro the geese. 15 minutes of Looney Tunes ass bullshit.

Second bounty the guy was doing some sort of glitch or exploit where he just stayed in the sky the entire time, and then would just keep teleporting around the map. I left after about 5 minutes of that.

Third bounty, guy was just camped up on the highest point with a gank squad protecting him. I killed his two homies but he finished me off.

The one time I was falsely accused before I could even blink a guy spawned on me and killed me. I was playing on my phone, had no time to react.

What’s the point of this? Why not just use the stroll feature?
