And there’s a similar dynamic between the mainstream exploiters of the socially conscious ‘aesthetic’ and the less well-known artists who really push it. Just like most people in the ‘90s only knew what grunge sounded like because Smells Like Teen Spirit got heavy radio play. (Not calling Nirvana fake or whatever, but…

It’s a music genre, specifically a genre of hard rap that uses specific drum and synth sounds and lyrical styles. “Bubblegum trap” implies that it’s trap turned positive, or radio-friendly trap.

I, too, am packing to move into a new house. But I’m also playing Link’s Awakening pretty obsessively.

Overwatch is set sixty years in the future.

It’s a reference...

That’s just a fact though. And the people who say that the only way to make progress is to change representation without talking about the issue never cite their sources — that’s just an unfounded opinion.

I still use my Wii U all the time, but I don’t think I’m gonna buy... uh, Bonk 3.

And, of course, the climbing/stamina.

In my (also limited) experience, that heavily depends on the person. I’m part Iranian, but white. My Iranian relatives don’t look or identify as white generally, but some of them can pass as Eastern or Southern European if they so choose. My Iranian friends and acquaintances vary from “obviously Middle Eastern” to…

On the other hand, they’ve got a few months of nearly constant direct sunlight during the summer. They can get their Boktai fix anytime they want.

I’ve found that direct sunlight makes the GBA very difficult to play on — the glare completely washes out the screen. A small light directly on it works a little better.

She’s calling the single player lazy, not the core gameplay or multiplayer.

I saw the same thing with Chechnya’s concentration camps for gay men — Breitbart commenters who knew that Chechnya is a Muslim region said things like “these are the people liberals want to bring into our country!” but those who didn’t said things like “they know what to do with [slur]!” The most disgusting thing I’ve…

First of all, you’re stuck on literally one sentence and ignoring the other criticisms I brought up.

You’re not listening. I’m saying he did good things for anti-racism activism, but that his racial policy and campaigning was remarkably weak. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

That seems like a pretty minor quibble to dismiss an entire comment over, but since the comment I responded to said:

Bernie did have a problem with racism though, in that he refused to acknowledge it in any non-superficial way. He coasted through questions about racial politics on the talking point that he marched with MLK and that Hillary called young black men superpredators, but also staunchly refused to offer any serious…

He’s not a Democrat, though. He’s also not actually that compelling as a speaker. His dedicated fanbase mostly arose from people who liked the tone and the ideas of his speeches, not people who found him charismatic. For many undecided voters, he was pretty laughable.

For one thing, most people saying this was not a terrorist attack actually mean it was not an Islamic terrorist attack.

I think it’s Jack Antonoff, who was the guitarist from fun. He co-produced a bunch of songs on Lorde’s new album, including both of the other singles.
