Can someone just spoil the damn ending for me? I hate being told when a movie has a twist ending, somehow especially if I have no interest in actually watching it.

Hard disagree about Xbox Live contributing much to online gaming in any practical sense

Not to be too pretentious or oversell Halo, but a lot of the writing and planning around the series was a lot more inspired than any other shooter around it at the time. From literary references influencing game design and story beats, to the downright perfect musical arrangements in the series. Everything in Halo…

Was watching that trailer again recently. God, when it got to that shot of the Pelican weaving between skyscrapers and anti-air flak fire, and it was accompanied by—of all things—serene harp glissandos, flighty woodwinds, and glittering string vibratos, it fucking sent me.

Its amazing that Cops managed to take down a July 4th Mass Shooter armed with an Assault Rifle without firing a shot.

This is literally what “defund the police” means. They don’t need tanks, they need real training. We don’t need a 20 man swat response for a mental health breakdown - we need someone trained in DE-ESCALATION. Shit, they can’t be bothered to take out one active shooter even with their body armor funding, assault rifle…

You got that right.

“Oh, he says it’s his religion that makes him believe there are second class citizens that should be discriminated against. Gotta respect it!”

Yeah, they’re at least somewhat aware that if every “opinion” and view is tolerated, that hatred and the desire to kill the “other” will always win, because eventually they’ll just consume everything.

I’m sure you’re as aware of this as I am, but for anybody else who might not be aware: the folks saying that their shitty views deserve to be respected don’t actually care about tolerance. They’re just using the language of tolerance to try and defend being bigots.

Tell that to the “Christians” in the US that are obsessed with the idea that we’re trying to wipe straight (and white) people out (it’s always the same people stuck on “white replacement”). It’s the same kind of nonsense.

“I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

Like many other religions, there’s a bunch of things written in these old books that we’re “supposed to do” if we’re true followers that would now be considered violent, illegal, and/or would send us straight to jail. So, how religious is this guy?

Really what they mean is:

Agreed.  Being “religious” isn’t carte blanche to be a raging homophobic dickface ... no matter how many Americans would like it to be.

I wonder how that same person would feel if they came across a Christian using their religion to justify Islamaphobia.

I only believe in what my religion tells me is acceptable, said someone on the internet which isn’t mentioned in any scripture.

“WTF is this?” one person referencing Almalki’s comment asked FaZe Clan’s account. “I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

““I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.”

The fuck we do.

Gamers are absolute trash bags
