The biggest lie Americans, especially conservatives, love to tell ourselves is the one about self-determination and self-reliance.

It’s fucking hilarious that the FCC would kill net neutrality with a “freedom” speech, then specifically invoke clauses to prevent states from enacting their own versions.

Did you read the article? Because all that was in the article. And outrage? Really? The author’s thesis could fairly be stated as “understand the history of these words and consider choosing intentionally which one you use.” What outrage are you referring to?

Doesn’t need to be a car. As a teenager we had this friend that was straight edge. No booze or drugs. He would hang out with us, and more than once we got him stoned just by smoking in the garage. We always contributed it to him having a huuuuge nose, but the plant affects people differently.

Yeah. I much prefer to say “marijuana” than “cannabis”. Cannabis makes me feel like I’m trying too hard to sound/be socially acceptable.

A contact high? Maybe if you’re hotboxing a car, but then why would you be in the car if not to get high?

Lost among all of this: Marijuana is a much more pleasant name for a mostly harmless drug.

I’m an old and I’ve been smoking pot for 40 years, and I grew up in northeast Philadelphia, where as a teen you can get any drug you want pretty easily. We called it pot, way more often than anything. If discussing it with my parents, it was marijuana, more so they could identify it. Most my pothead friends know the…

You know how marijuana users are, all amped up on pot and out to commit crimes for more money to buy a plant you can easily grow in your bathroom, and lots of late-night tacos. Real menace, them.

If I remember right from AGDQs, the Japanese version has less text so it’s quicker to skip through it.

Any reason as to why he’s playing what looks to be the Japanese version of Sunshine in the video?

The effort put into this event was so much, that it really highlighted how little we got by comparison in AC Origins’ meager FFXV-related side-quest.

I feel that at a certain point, allowing the worst usages of a meme to define that meme (i.e. literally describing that meme as BEING a white supremacist symbol, et cetera) and treating the meme itself as hate speech is counterproductive.

50%? General game chat in popular games has a way bigger chance of people being shitty (Americans and others, although the 12 year old Americans do seem to be really effective at being offensive/bigoted).

I still think it’s weird how people take this shit out of context super hard. Some alt-right moron uses pepe meme to be an insensitive prick, a bunch of alt-right morons pick it up. Guess all Pepes (even the rarest ones) are now racist because no one can discern from a frog with a swastika and one without one.

“it’s often followed by racist jokes that have nothing to do with Captain Alex, like exaggerated imitations of the clicking from Khoisan and Bantu languages, or cracks about the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa.”

To be fair, get in a random match with russian players and you better hope they speak in a language you don’t understand*.

Aaron Webber agonized over how to handle the meme, and he found maybe the best way.

Racism is common in online gaming.
