Do you use your words to explain to her how that makes you feel?

You could say “Pretty good, Mom. How was your day?”

It’s quite possible she wondering when you are going to actually say something like, “I found an apartment today!”

Imagine that you didnt have mother or father ... Just be happy that there is someone who cares .

Stuff like this is why I don’t want to see e-sports get “too” professional. I love stupid crap like this.

You’ll appreciate it someday. When you have kids and you say to yourself I’m going to do it different than my parents did I’m going to do it better and then you’ll have that moment where it’s not so easy and you’ll think of your mom wherever she is and be happy she tried every single day. maybe she didn’t knock it out…

Did Facebook just throw a giant pile of cash at them

No, I am not. I am just tired of the unnecessary fire-branding rhetoric on Kotaku and Gizmodo. Ethan could have easily just called Facebook “one of the world’s largest social media platforms” like he called the ESL “one of the largest esports organizations in the world.”

I still don’t get how this works when you can’t interact with anyone in-game. Is this “civilization” all in third-party applications or something?

So you being an adult now, it seems like maybe you could talk to your mom about other stuff and avoid this conversation that’s irking you right? Like, come on home and ask her how HER day was or something?

Tell us how you really feel.

Not for nothing, but how often do you engage her and start a conversation about her day and interests?

When my grandson comes home from school, I usually greet him with, “Hey, buddy. How you doing? Did you learn anything interesting today?” But he’s 5 and so everything at school is still interesting to him, and he’s glad somebody wants to know. I know it’ll pass but I’m enjoying it while it lasts.

Counterpoint: My parents never asked me about my day. I promise you, that is far far worse.

So when I imitate my wife’s southern accent then I, a “northerner”, am being racist? Okay.

don’t bother. this place is an echo chamber for people patting each other on the back. prepare to be mobbed and for it to be called tolerant.

It’s not treating another culture as a joke, it’s just a reference to another culture’s comedy. This would comparable to an Asian or African quoting and imitating an American comedy.

The joke is a reference to Who Killed Captain Alex a Ugandan B movie/comedy.

Seems like that’s your shit, yo. You seem to be trying really hard to make it a racist thing. I think maybe YOU are racist.

No it isn’t. Do everyone a favor and go look up the word racist in the dictionary. The definition is not “everyone and everything you don’t like”

Whether or not you like the meme or not, Uganda Knuckles isn’t a racist meme. Imitating an accent does not mean someone is pretending to be dominant over another race. This is an excellent video on the topic.
