It will not surprise you to know that this topic has been HOT on the white BBQ circuit this summer. Inevitably, I find myself explaining that preservation of history does not mean the preservation of statues erected, non-contemporaneously, with a specific political agenda: maintaining white supremacy.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, obviously a keyboard is a scalpel cause this is surgical precision.

Of course, Rone is claiming “not me!” insisting that her page was hacked ...

Why don’t they pack up and move back to Africa

I didn’t think I could get any more angry over what’s happening to my government but lo and behold, here I am.

They never said anything remotely as over the top idiotic as Trump and you know it. Neither has ever called for an entire country to be destroyed because of the megalomania of their leader. Obama and Clinton understand diplomacy, unlike the orange clown who is so used to people doing whatever he said because he paid…

I have some Ibuprofin if your shoulder is hurting from that reach.

This goes to show my denseness, but I’d probably be like, “Wow, someone left me free food!”, eat it and never once think about why it was put there.

I thought the “contact me when you’re 18" referenced in the article made it very clear where the interest is. yuck.

It’s pretty much true worldwide, regardless of ethnicity - unless you’re protesting in favour of whatever nasty government policy is being enacted. Then the government is all “legal protests this” “free speech that” (even fucking Russia). But you oppose government policy, no matter how much the public agrees, and…

I’m so tired of this fake-ass “patriotism” bullshit. It attempts to shut down any discontented discourse by making someone feel like a traitor for a thought or disagreement. It’s basically passive-aggressive censorship and I’m done with it. It’s like anytime someone calls someone an anti-Semite when you voice…

The Room is lovable bad.

That’s a common reaction. The short answer is, no one knows. The long answer is, Tommy knows but isn’t saying. Other than that, no one knows.

UGH. As a city parent, I cannot overstate the importance of corner stores to healthy communities. Corner stores (we don’t really call them bodegas and the owners are usually Palestinian) serve as the grandmas for the neighborhood. The corner stores keep an eye out, and they sweep the sidewalk, and they lend you a…

put much better than i ever could

99% of tech startups now-a-days are just fancy versions of things that already exist.

You will understand Suikoden 2's story easily without having played the first, but it’s set in the same world than the first, three years later, and it has a number of returning supporting characters (the appeal of the Suikoden series is that you see only a fraction of the world in each game, and they keep expanding…

Suikoden 1 is really fantastic. If you like JRPGs and have no problem going back, there’s really NOT a reason not to play Suikoden 1.

Would I have to play Suikoden 1 first in order to understand 2? I’m kinda curious to play Suikoden 2 after so much priase from Jason.
