Honestly this makes me chuckle. Even though I am 100% aware of the racist stereotype in the US it actually took me reading this article to recognize why Americans would see it as racist. Trinidadians are.... special lol and we have a particular brand of picong that doesn’t travel well. Honestly when I saw it on my…

I’d be slightly (SLIGHTLY!) less bothered by conservative demands for equal time in creative arenas if their efforts weren’t uniformly underwhelming at best or amateurish at worst.

In New Jersey, it's known as making a terroristic threat. 

If Sony pays to have a game made then that's one thing, but paying for exclusive content in a multiplatform game then it's different. They're paying to keep content away from other players.

As a Trinidadian who loves Trinidad’s KFC (I make sure to have my chicken when I am leaving the country) this is terrible and they need to be better.

Fuck yeah they are. I’m about as white as you get, and summer in my house ALWAYS meant watermelon. And chicken? Shit, my family made chicken about 1,000 different ways. Pretty much chicken in every damn meal. Fried chicken is amazing. 

It’s such poor form from Square-Enix and Sony. Timed exclusive content was already bad enough, but this is really the most anti-gamer nonsense going. Even if you have the console that gets it, like with timed exclusive stuff you know how much it sucks to not be able to talk to your mates about stuff for months, it…

Fear not, for Night Monkey will be leaping onto Xbox and PC!

That and the fact that Marvel agreed to the terms. I see a lot of hate directed at Sony, and justifiably so, but Marvel never needed to sign that deal. Then again, I wonder if video game exclusivity was a condition of getting Spidey in to the MCU...

So there’s two aspects behind this that can offer an explanation:

1) Exclusivity deals are often a means to secure more funds for the project from the publisher; the development studio gets a bunch of cash to keep working on the game, sets aside some content for the exclusivity, and the publisher spends more money to…

This mess is squarely in the lap of Republicans.  The House passed the HEROES Act months ago and McConnell just refused to do anything except ram through a bunch of judges. He just decided to fuck around and now they are backed into a corner. The Dems don’t need to do a thing.

Meh, no shocker. This was apart of the deal when these jokers voted that bastard in to office. This is especially a reminder for those women who had no problem voting for a man who said “grab them by the pussy”. They want to bring ass whippings back too.

So much supremacy. I’m getting tired of all the supremacy. Can’t even go out to eat now without some big-bellied, stick’n’poke, sweaty-assed mud-butt shaking his acorn in peoples’ faces. They call it supreme and it don’t even come with sour cream. It is just mayo. Lord, lord. This is the best you got? This guy and…

McConnell’s whole game is to stall - just like usual. They don’t care if people lose their homes, get sick, or die in the meantime. Where is that “You About to Lose Your Job” video and Mitch’s email address? Remember that great healthcare plan the GOP was gonna give us when they had control of Congress? They spent a…

In typical Republican fashion, they stonewall for months and then at the eleventh hour offer the Democrats a few stale crumbs. When the Dems inevitably say no to that obvious bullshit, the GOP says “oh well, guess the libtards don’t care about ‘Murrica or bipartisan compromise.” And nobody ever seems to call them out…

That is in no way a footnote of the three-fifths compromise. It is the crux of the whole matter. If it seems counter-intuitive, then it’s because you’ve bought into the brand of American exceptionalism that says the anti-racist North was at odds with the racist South. The north was(and is) filled with plenty of…

Exactly, I think about that every time that sentence is mentioned. Because “Black people only counted as 3/5ths of a person” is an easier damning sentence, but in the context of what was being discussed, they absolutely should have not counted at all. Slaveowners wanted their to have their cake and eat it too - not…

Believe me, he doesn’t represent all Brits. People here are also annoyed that we get hammered with the guilt parade, while places like Japan are allowed to get away with denying most of their war crimes while operating blatantly racist immigration policies even now.

I’m a history teacher, and the topic is much better taught today, but that’s completely dependent upon where you live. I’m in Chicago, so we can teach the whole spectrum of US history, not a whitewashed version of it. I really feel sorry for kids who live in districts where they’re still referring to the Civil War as…

I always tell people the story of how I got suspended in 9th grade after reading the line “slavery was not bad all of the time. They were allowed to garden, grow their own crops, and even had recreation time” in my history book. I yelled out “WHAT IS THIS BULL SHIT!” and was immediately sent to the dean of discipline.…
