Imagine his father is Black. Now think about the Dursley's, and the way they're described as treating both him and his father.

Everyone understands that these aren't exclusive to Japan, right? You can go all over New England (and England itself obviously) and find old homes, barns, churches, etc. built in the same way. It fell out of fashion here the same way it did in japan- soon as mass produced nails started becoming cheap.
Velma was my first crush. There have been lots of lesbian bookworms since.
You should watch (or rewatch) Warehous 13. This is basically a copy of the show, with worse... everything.
How are people watching this? I watched the first half episode and turned it off because it was so bad.

Go Team Venture!
Nope. Least not out of the box. Supposedly, the new engine isn't mod friendly.
It's long been assumed that Africans didn't have Neanderthal DNA, because Neanderthal fossils haven't been found in Africa. And that assumption has been adopted by all sorts of pseudo racist crackpots to explain various disparities between Africans and everyone else. But it turns out that that assumption was wrong: …
Anyone who thinks that TotalBiscuit is doing himself a favor by throwing his lot in with 'gamergate' is silly.
I'm sure GG will be boycotting Blizzard immediately... right?

They're rolling in money because of steam, not DOTA and TF2. Valve takes 1/3 of the money from very game someone sells on Steam. That's where their money comes from. And that money subsidizes their "free" games, which they use to entice people to use Steam.
TF2's model only works because it's subsidized by the 33% cut Valve takes off of every game other developers sell on Steam. Every dev that tries that 'cosmetic only' stuff has problems with it. It just doesn't work unless you're Valve and you're rolling in basically other developers money to subsidize your 'free'…
America's first two foreign wars, the Barbary wars, were against the Ottoman Empire in the early 1800s. Well over a century before the League of Nations and the discovery of oil fields in the middle east.
If Alfred hadn't been an irresponsible, abusive dick, totally in over his head as a single parent, Bruce might have grown up to be somewhat sane and responsible, ie. not Batman.
Yep. The only two major groups Obama did worse than Kerry 4 years beforehand with was a) voters over 65 years old, and b) gay people.
Serious Eats did side-by-side comparisons of various salt times and amounts and showed that was a total myth (like tons of other things in cooking): http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/04/does-p…
You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are…
I was supposed to build a new PC last week, but FedEx delivered the case (which was shipped separately from the rest of the parts and by FedEx instead of UPS) to the wrong house. Hopefully, tonight's the night.
