Is it wrong of me to get nervous any time I see a South American with a German-sounding name?

The dude thought he just got assaulted by a hard foul. Gonna go out on a limb and guess he wasn’t thinking all that straight to begin with.
You keep your phone in your pocket when you’re playing basketball?
I think it’s standard operating procedure at a place like that you don’t let a rando use the desk phone to call 911.
My wife and I were just talking about this the other day when we watched the episodes with the Ruby/Sapphire wedding. She had mentioned that some countries gave Ruby a male voice actor to avoid running into so-called “gay propaganda” laws and I though well, that’s sad, but I had always thought of them more as…
Would have to be wouldn’t it? Who else is there?
Okay, working for charity, that’s one thing. Engaging in a PR stunt because marketing is all you have to keep your high tech ponzi scheme afloat? That’s different. Elon Musk should eat all of the shit.
You want to see inflammatory? I’ve got a gas can you can pour over yourself any time.
It absolutely is science, man. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial. Everyting from MMOs to mobile games are specifically designed to funnel purchasing things in apps or downloadable content and part of that is to keep them playing the game for as long as possible in a sitting. We know this, it is not a secret.
Now,…
Hs talking about people who have died during sustained gaming binges, which is a different thing than the example you’re describing with the tv. You speak of data: do you have examples of someone sitting for so long in front of the TV for a sustained binge that they die of exhaustion or dehydration? Because we have…
Haha not really. I got two MAs and afterwards decided I was going to be kind to myself now that I had time to read what I wanted to so I mostly read genre fiction and I don't feel even a little bit bad about it.
I don’t think you have any idea what you’re talking about.
It’s not just about immersion for him though. That’s what he talks about in here, but (full disclosure I’m a fan of the podcast and listened to the audio of their gaming debate) it’s about the feedback. It’s about the fact that a video game can give you rewards that, in his opinion, you ought to be looking for in the…
Here’s the soundcloud with the free episodes. I recommend episode 125 as a soft starting place: https://soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-house
Matt would tell you that a book doesn’t provide feedback the way a video game does. The way it stimulates you through rewards, etc. The feeling of finishing a book is not the same as finishing a boss fight, and that’s just a fact. That being said, the negative aspects of gaming are more related to design than they are…
I live in Fond du Lac. My house doesn’t but much of the town does.
Well in fairness its also the piping issue that was around LONG before that water source was switched. And its hitting every major city in the Midwest at this point. Shit my own town of 40,000 in central Wisconsin has lead problems.
Scissors are not a complicated post-stone age invention. You remember the scene from Game of Thrones where Bronn is clipping his nails? As soon as they could make metal tools they could make scissors like that and use them. Before that they probably either bit them or filed them down on rocks.
There are Jews in Ohio and Jews who wrestle, believe it or not.
