As a kid, I always got that mixed up with The Green Mile. I imagined they must be about similar things, though of varying thickness and hue.

“It’s not like you can ask YouTube to take the video down.”

The government can mandate that it do things like prefund its retirement benefits for the next 70 years (which they did, which makes it look insolvent on paper for a dumb, impossible-to-overcome reason).

It seems like it has less of a problem to do with USPS and just with the business of shipping valuables in general. I’ve always had the fewest problems with them and the most (oh, god, so many) with UPS, principally because they shadowbanned my address from receiving packages without a signature and, of course, are…

It took me a second to see it, but I had a good laugh when I did.

They tried. They really did. There was a pointwhere the 360 seemed to have more JRPGs than the PS3. Last Remnant, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Enchanted Arms, Blue Dragon, and then True Fantasy Live Online in development. I wonder how the bottom fell out (Japanese weren’t buying 360s,…

In the samenpost, you admit that the cause lies in white apathy and negligence, but then still conclude that the responsibility for changing things lies with black people. Fascinating.

Also, how many incredibly successful adults skipped one or all of those? Barack Obama smoked pot. The founders of Google and Facebook (which account for a ridiculous amount of internet activity) all dropped out of /undergrad/. Obviously the difference between them and the people who also smoke pot and drop out and…

The definition of a slippery slope argument, and directly contradicted by the experience of the closest model to our own situation. Of course, the main difference between Australia and ourselves in this regard is that they hadn’t tied gun ownership so securely to racialized notions of citizenship and patriotism (just…

“Feel like” is not a statement of an uninformed belief, but of an overarching sentiment built up through years of experiencing (and watching loved ones experience) disappointment and failure in key areas of their lives, despite best intentions AND best effort.

Wait, people don’t like Smooth? :(

Changes to the story are disappointing, but at least they’re not too bad. Digging Motoko’s Arise costume cameo. Either way, I was never going to see it in theaters because of the ScarJo casting.

Can you tell me more about that? I’ve been wanting to run the original version of Every Extend, but it won’t start up on W10 and I can’t figure out how to get sound/video working in any of the virtual machine solutions I’ve tried.

Anon is 4chan-based and they lead the pro-Trump movement, actually. Turns out that they were less about general freedom and more about the freedom of white dudes to do what they want.

It’s probably been talked about before, but a huge part of what made Toonami a long-standing success is how slick and effortlessly cool its packaging was. That is, the bumps, intros, music, and commercials. Not just anime cool, either, but, “The song they used for Gundam SEED’s promos ended up in a Matthew McConaughey…

I just had a conversation with someone about this on the site-that-must-not-be-named. After some reflection, I posited that female gamers (and some male gamers) are put off by games that promise a power fantasy throughout, particularly in the narrative. If you’re not a white dude, “complete domination/subjugation” of…

You followed up a declaration of your profession as, “I work with words and teach people how to interpret their meaning,” with a turn of phrase that, in its grammatical weirdness, obfuscates meaning. I found this humorous in its irony and its ability to draw out my (admittedly, overblown) ire.

How the hell are you an Applied English professor who doesn’t know not to use “to include” like that?

The quick answer is, “I know, I’m sorry, I’m not denying that this is all true. I’m just one person, though, so here is what I’m doing to help.” And then list them and be open to adding or substituting their suggestions.

“I don’t know if I would say race could be even a motivating factor”
