>>I think it’s because people don’t want to be reminded that they’re being nostalgic while they’re being nostalgic. <<

I didn’t make it far enough in the book to realize how potentially date-rapey the protagonist was (I gave up soon after the masturbatory nostalgia-fest lists in the intro, I’ve got better things to read than referential bullshit riding on the coattails of much better stories), but HOLY SHIT this article made me cringe…

I don’t have any opinion on the trailer one way or another, but as someone who likes ‘Stranger Things’ and despised the book ‘Ready Player One,’ I’ll give you my opinion. RPO never lets up with the nostalgia torrent. The character is so immersed in a soup of ‘80s cultural references that they become a substitute for…

Really can’t argue with this.

Step 1: Avoid Reddit.

One thing that I think you missed is if you are going to post to a subreddit read the side bar (or community info if on mobile) as some have very specific posting guidelines. Also, there are often helpful links that could answer whatever you are looking for without having to post.

It’s problematic because she’s a spokesperson, but I believe she is A) expressing extreme frustration that I have heard other people of color verbalize. I think, at times, if you are a person of color, it absolutely feels like all white people are part of the problem. Instead of attacking that sentiment, white people…

Nah, I think EVERYONE is at least kind of racist. White people definitely. We just have to combat it. Everyday. I’m a white woman, I do my best to ally with minorities, listen to them and teach my fellow white friends and family about their struggles, but I still have a subconscious steeped in society, the…

I disagree. I read her as saying “White privilege is horrible and oppressive and a system built upon the suffering of Black people. It isn’t something that is learned by some white people (and not others). It is inherited by all white people.” Which is a super accurate thing to say.

Problem is, her claim is incorrect. Racism is a construct used by the wealthy, the monarchs, the oligarchs, the imperialists and capitalists to keep the poor, the working class divided. Racism is experienced worldwide by various races, for example the caste system in India. As an Irish person, I come from a culture…

Counterpoint: Fuck Her, I’ve fought, marched, been arrested and bled for equal/civil rights, I was partially raised by people of color, I’ve had significant others of several races and am literally and figuratively colorblind, I’m not saying this to pat myself on the back(I could always do more) ... But I’m racist…

I hope she gets more gigs because of this. Man. “Be a face for diversity but don’t you dare fucking talk about it.” Hired for diversity, fired by them because of their racism. Wish I could find that unbelievable.

He can read his name and shit.

Here in Hong Kong, Lugia appeared as a raid in a nearby commercial district at 11:15am and was up for 2 hours. Despite the tropical cyclone warning, it wasn’t too windy or rainy out and there was a small crowd of 20-30 people there. Lugia is a tough battle, if I didn’t have a Blissey I would’ve been wiped out.

I wasn’t at the festival but walked around Chicago pretty much all day (long day was long). My friends and I were about to call it around 8 after dinner but then we checked the app and saw raids for Lugia and Articuno as far as the eye could see. There were scores of people standing around each gym. Both raids that I…

Right? I had a fucking fantastic time here in Cincinnati. We had a group of 15-20 people traveling around to hotspots and toppling 4* raids. I have a new Snorlax, Rhydon and Venusaur tonight, am almost level 30, and finally evolved my Kingdra.

Ok. i realize Chicago didn’t go smoothly.

People give you shit for not wearing a bikini? (I 100% believe you, I just can’t imagine caring whether someone else was wearing a bikini!) What do they say?
