The xenophobic at worst, and extremely outdated at best, views of Cuba and Cuban society demonstrated by commenters here is disheartening.. LGBT communities have thrived on the island for decades, albeit just not recognized by the constitution, which, like pointed out in the article, has not been amended since the…

Titanic?

By the way— 80% of all people lifted out of poverty since 1990 have been so due to communist China. Another fact you won’t see on Splinter: http://www.business-standard.com/article/international/china-lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-is-historic-world-bank-117101300027_1.html

Every other country on the globe is getting along swimmingly without that bullshit. Yeah, it’s a problem.

Please stop using extreme examples of people in deadly crisis trying to stay alive as an analogue for tolerating hate.

I am sick of people using holocaust victims and assassinated black leaders as rhetorical props for their flaccid, ineffectual politics.

No, that’s not racism at all. It’s cultural chauvinism. At no part is ethnic heritage (insofar that heritage essential to your prejudice, not a contextual one, ie. Chinese heritage only describes the cuisine involved, it’s the practice of culture that’s in question) is or axes of oppression engaged in your sentiment.

It’s not a complete remake like you implied— the assets and textures are the same, they’ll be the unlocked textures that PC users have had for years through DSfix. The lighting, shaders, and probably physics and movement will be the extent of the remaster.

No shit. What do you think medium format cameras are for? Have you ever touched a Hassy, any of the V or H series, before this? They are never meant to be anything outside of exacting, large-frame precision tools not meant for anything that couldn’t be called a studio environment, unless you’re a glutton for…

Never. FROM isn’t big on the idea of exclusives, and Miyazaki has been more than clear that the company has put soulsbourne on indefinite hiatus.

However, I am more than excited to see the new IP they’re working on

What do the Japanese have to do with Flint?

Fucking always, the US president’s office has intervened in the hold of political prisoners and foreign detention since the start of the office.

Haaaaaaaaahahahahaha. Oh man, drink that McCarthyist kool-aid.

So, I’ve called him twice. Luckily, I have a background in constitutional law, and got one of his aids to agree to connect me with him tomorrow.

Let’s just say that the law, and I, aren’t on his side. Actually, fuck it, it’s all out of spite and boredom.

Here’s the excerpt he ‘cites’ to anyone curious:

*Sigh* EFFECTIVE tax rate, and not lawful tax rate, is the issue. NO american corporation accepting a single subsidy is operating anywhere near lawful tax rate, and the US has among the lowest effect corporate tax rates in the world.

I’m okay with silencing anyone in favor of white supremacy and revoking a woman’s right to vote, thanks. My conscience is clear

It’s not like it’s a differing opinion on where chicken vs. egg, it’s “I wish to keep my rights” and “I want all your rights taken away (and you get killed that’s also good to)”

“Don’t pass off BDSM as a topic everyone is dying to read about.”

Really? In three years, Fifty Shades series sold over 100 MILLION copies, placing it second only to Harry Potter. How can you, in a place where you’re trying to position yourself as being intellectually honest, say that this kind of content is at all…

My girlfriend and I expected Episode 3 to be as laid back as 2, but five minutes into the monologue, and we were silent, with jaws slightly open. Frankly, I think it's the most bottled magic that she show has done, that episode. Give it another try, but consider it theater, which it is, not as television.

That's exactly how sexism manifests on a systematic level. They prefer to go with (white) male directors in the same way they'd rather cast white people to play characters of different races than actually hiring poc actors. You don't have to be an openly Trump-level misogynist to reinforce institutionalized sexism, it…
