This isn’t Atari anymore, and hasn’t been for decades. This isn’t Nolan Bushnell’s Atari, the company that actually created all those classic games. It’s not even Sam Tramiel’s Atari, dumpster fire that it was, they at least created something. This is a fourth or fifth-generation licensing deal, so it can go either…

Jesus.

But HE CAN’T. Floyd Mayweather’s reading ability is embarrassing for a person of normal intelligence, which he is. Pointing out that that woman-beating piece of shit is embarrassingly bad at reading doesn’t contradict the fact that McGregor was being a racist ass. Mayweather’s dignity isn’t sacrosanct.

McGregor was an asshole for using a well-known slur, even if he was just trying to play the heel. Some words you just leave alone, and he’s been in this country often enough and long enough to be familiar with it.

But that doesn’t make Mayweather worthy of any sort of gentle touch. He responded by calling McGregor a…

You hear similar platitudes about any hard-fought defeat, especially when the loser is a beloved athlete. Look at the syrupy crap slathered over the Nashville Predators before, during, and after their Stanley Cup defeat. It’s part of the game.

It’s not predatory at all. It’s not as though they’re being charged something fraudulently.
 

I walk away from mobile games all the time when it becomes clear I’m being nickle-and-dimed.

What’s the big deal? If someone’s willing to pay $35 for a single in-game item, they’re an idiot. Even if they’re rich, they’re an idiot. Props to Zynga for helping them spend their money.

If the presence of the $35 single…

I’m team Rocky, but Apollo is a very very close second. He was the antagonist, but by no means any less inspiring than Rocky. And he did give us the greatest non-fight sequence in the whole series:

Boxing rules. There are a million moves that McGregor will not be able to use, whereas Mayweather will be in his natural element. To borrow Stephen’s phrase, McGregor will be fighting with a hand tied to his foot.

I guess Mayweather took his heel turn so seriously that he started beating women in real life, just so there’d be no doubts he was a bad guy.

Best hair in sports? Only one answer is valid: Emre Can

BP is a diverse film on a meta level: In a film universe dominated by white characters, BP opens an avenue for a whole set of non-white characters. The film isn’t diverse on its own, but it helps the whole of the MCU be more so.

As Iago? Sure.

I’m sure you’ll get over the hump.

I’ve had all those guessed at me before. And then USCIS asked for my ethnicity and I said “mixed-race Hispanic”. The guy was like “yeah, I don’t have that here, let’s just go with white”.

Maybe I should just get in the habit of asking first.

A live-action Aladdin is a casting slam-dunk if Hollywood loses its fear of letting a foreign star carry the movie. Yes, Ridley Scott, you CAN cast “Mohammed so-and-so from wherever” and have them sell the movie.

There would be a lot of backlash to a character named Mary Jane that acted nothing like the original, no matter her race.

I think you’re both right.

Everything he said is true. Pointing out real issues isn’t racist just because the speaker is an outsider to the group being discussed.
