“I think that is why of all pairings, black women and white men have the lowest divorce rate.”

This...

Can confirm. My white dad and black mom have never divorced. 

Thank you. What also bothers me is that a generation of black women are possibly operating under the premise that it’s better not to report because the police might shoot them, rather than the idea their safety has more value than these black males and their abhorrent and criminal behavior.

You are adult men, not feral, hyper-sexualized children.

> How can I look a black boy in his face and tell him he is nothing?

It’s called self-defense. The evil white man prefers law and order over tribalism and chaos for some reason. It must be because they are so racist!

Thank you. I know I’m not. These folks just pick a random word out of a hat (troll, misogynist, etc) whenever they encounter someone they don’t agree with. Instead of using their words or rational arguments, they name call. Im very accustomed to how several commentors operate here, and for some reason I entertain it.…

Big fan of SOD myself; I agree in that the short stories tend to be a little better on balance than the novel-length works do, though I still enjoy the mainline novels.

I’m wondering if some of the relative dryness of the novels is a translation issue; there may be idioms in Polish that we’re not getting properly in…

I can totally understand why you didn’t read the rest of the thread (it got long in a hurry), but I addressed that very concern a little further down; copy-pasting it here for your convenience:

There’s a conditional phrase in your first paragraph that I think you’re not giving enough attention to: “It would be them pulling a Dark Tower and changing the established race of a character.”

If they do that, then by all means, call it out. Until that happens, assuming the team will do that is just that—an…

I have read them—at least all of the books that are currently available in English, anyhow! Great recommendation, but they’re already on my shelf!

Jesus, you’re a piece of shit.

I’ll tell you what, if they want to pivot to video they need to hire some better prepared on screen talent. The bed headed douche and nose-ring wearing fat girl over at Kotaku are jokes, acting like they’re far more clever than they actually are.

Yeah that...That isn’t how the world works.

Much as I loved OG Gawker, they did make some absolutely repugnant decisions prior to their slow death (the Conde Nast executive outing being the big one, in my book) that gave Thiel his opening.

I’m no Thiel fan, but Gawker effectively opened its flank to attack, shot a petulant middle finger at anyone who dared to…

yeah blaming Peter Thiel is ridiculous, if it weren’t him it would’ve been someone else at the rate things were going.

1) Gen Z is extremely conservative.

Thank you.
