Commentor Busslayer upthread summed it up best. It’s not about black voters, it’s about white voters. Specifically, it is about the white voters who are on the fence about casting their ballot for Trump due to his racism. This gives them the “out” they want. It soothes their nerves when they can say he reached out to…

“...who laughs that much at a joke that wasn’t even that funny, right?”

Yeah I mean, no shit. That’s like saying “have good sex”, and is distinct from “have sex BEFORE you go out on date night” as recommended in the OP. Sorta my point.

Why do I always have to do the thinking for you people? I’m always rescuing writers and commenters from the errors of their attitudes and actions.

It is best to have sex during the date. If you’re at a restaurant, start feeling each other up from under the table.

Then no matter who’s looking or who’s calling…

You end up with the same problem though - it becomes like an expected routine, and eventually devolves to the point where at least one of you gets stressed about the thought of going out because there’s this weird non-sexy tension about having sex. Before or after, a routine is a routine. It becomes forced.

Testing unknown USB drives is what the Apple Store is for.

She’s not a prostitute.

Special forces operatives kill people for a living; doesn’t mean they’ll take kindly to being offered a hit contract. Circumstances matter.

A lot of adult actresses escort on the side and $10,000 for a date is pretty standard.

Man, I’m playing six right now and it feels like a totally different game. You can’t wonder rush, not every city can build the same districts, any hints for me? I used to crush the computer on almost every level of difficulty.

Man, I’ve played games where I didn’t even MEET two of the eight civs.

“Yeah, which makes the only viable early gane strategy “build warriors (or eagle warriors, cause you are Montezuma right) and take over you nearest 2 neighbors before classical era”.”

This is not even close to true but OK.

THE GAME CAME OUT YESTERDAY AND THERES ALREADY PRO CIV PLAYERS

I would most certainly watch it because Civ is THE game for me, but I get what you’re saying. I mean these games last hours and hours....how would that even work? Maybe they start in a later game era or something? I dunno.

As someone who really likes the Civilization series, I feel like this won’t make too much headway. Gameplay is far too slow to make an appetizing e-sport, at least that’s my gut feeling.

The contrast in how the signs were treated is galling, but just to be clear this are historical markers, not commemorative plaques celebrating people (I googled this to find out because the idea of it made me furious).

One very important note about Emmett’s funeral. Emmett’s mother wanted everyone to see what the murderers did* to her son so she had an open casket funeral. She was quoted as saying:

No it isnt. The vast majority of the jobs out there require a vast amount of job specifics that credentials will not cover no matter how good the employee looks on paper. These things can only be learned by being in that job, with those people, in that system, in that company.

Yes, we should all only do the jobs that we are 100% qualified for and never push ourselves or strive to do more. I should know my place.

@ScottTFrazer: What part of "end user" didn't you understand? If you were on my network do you honestly think you would be able to change your dns?
