You’re right; I don’t have teenage sons. But I also don’t make assumptions about how people’s sons feel based on how annoyed I personally am about something, nor would I assume that my children’s feelings would be the same as every other child’s.

I’m with you; I don’t think Jason Whitlock gives a single Krispy Kreme donut whether black people like him or not. He’s profitted off slandering black people for the amusement of white folks for *checks notes* basically his entire career, and he wouldn’t stop if we all invited him the cookout. Instead he’s show up at…

Yeah, I’m sure LeBron James’ son is real sad that he has, basically, the coolest fucking dad on planet Earth, and that his dad took a moment during an extremely unimportant game to have some fun with him and his friends. I don’t know how he’ll ever recover from the humiliation of having his Hall of Fame father steal…

I’d say anyone who didn’t care for it needs to get the fuck over it and move on. It’s gotdamn LeBron James. Lighten the hell up.

The most annoying thing is that the press can’t/won’t say “quit lying”. Hell, even a “that’s not remotely true” would be hard push back against Trump. These are the kinda lies that get brown and black kids smacked upside the head.

One of the biggest obstacles with MFA is the uniquely American problem of “the GOVERNMENT can’t tell me what to do!”. The illusion of “choice” overrides “the desire to not die”. So that’s why you have politicians like Kamala Harris trying to find the compromise position, not between Democrats and Republicans, but…

The biggest issue is that people try to stoop to Trump’s level. They try and come up with snide remarks and comments, without knowing/understanding that Trump works on a different level and can’t be affected, and no one is going to accept the same level of immaturity Trump stoops to from someone. Trump gets away with…

I’ve always said that Trump is such a bad liar that it makes him the most honest person on the planet, because generally whatever he says, you can assume either the exact opposite is true, or something he says to insult someone else is actually about him. He tells on himself with startling regularity.

The thing that drives me crazy about racism is that it has no basis in any sort of logic. It’s a cult of selfishness, the extremely white belief that because you are born pinker than other people you automatically deserve certain shit, and other people don’t deserve it. Why? Because reasons. 

I was like “GOT DAMN GOT DAMN!”

One of the big things that came out of the Anthem debacle is that Frostbite (same thing Madden is built on) is a shitty engine, and that it takes literal actual weeks to fix even the simplest shit. I’m guessing that the developers went in and fixed one thing, and then it immediately broke something else with the…

There will be several patches, each that break the game in new and interesting ways, because Madden is a poorly made game built on a shitty foundation and the only way to fix it would be to start from scratch.

One of the most frustrating moments as a Skins fan last season was desperately, DESPERATELY wanting the Skins to lose against the Bucs so that they could stop pretending they were a playoff team. 500 yards of offense. 3 fucking points. It meant another fucking week of “the Redskins might be winning ugly, BUT THEIR…

Dinging Kamala for flip-flopping in the same article where you say Joe Biden’s opinions on race in the 70s (and the 80s and the 90s and most of the 2000s for that matter) shouldn’t impact what he says and does today is an interesting approach.

WWE programming sucks at the moment, but I’m still going to say this is an insult to WWE programming.

I mean, it’s pretty simple to me; if you want to sell a product, sell me the benefits. Don’t tell me it’s features or what it does. Tell me what the fuckin’ benefits are. And don’t assume that I should just know what the benefits are. And if I have concerns, don’t treat me like a moron; address my actual concern.

If you pretend that everything is performative and that nothing politicians say or do actually matters, then you never have to get around to confronting the fact that you agree with racists and sexists and bad faith collaborators with foreign governments. “Ignorance is bliss” has never meant more in America than it…

The real problem is that we’ve got people proposing two options and then scream that the other side is trying to hurt/kill/take freedom away from Americans. There’s no real place for discourse and debate; ya know, the things that tend to happen when you’re actually trying to pass something.

The general response in the Splinter livethread anytime Russia was mentioned was “OH GOD, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT RUSSIA, NO ONE CARES ABOUT RUSSIA”. Generally the vibe over there is that nothing actually happened with Russia, which has nothing at all to do with the fact that their Chosen One was a tool of the Russians…
