I wouldn't use the same language Talib has at all.

But, uhh, Maajid Nawaz clearly hates Muslims as much as David Clarke hates black people and as much as Milo hates gay people and Jews.

If you think that tweet is evidence that he is a self hating practicing Muslim that also hates all other Muslims you're just confused. There is nothing he has said or done that justifies comparing him to someone like David Clarke or Milo. It's a disgusting smear with nothing to back it up.

Aren't AA parents more afraid that their child is going to be shot by a cop while walking on the street?

You havent done any research into this guy? Did you know he was forced out of a stripclub for groping/harassing a worker? But that's irrelevant to his work and views, so to focus more on this guy

What Does Maajid Nawaz Really Believe?

Another one,

The Self-Invention of Maajid Nawaz: Fact and Fiction in the Life of the Counter-Terror Celebrity: Maajid Nawaz bases his credibility on a compelling personal story, but how much of it is true?

He's a fraud.

I'm solving my panic attack from earlier with beer and a pizza covered in habeneros. My mouth and ears are on fire, I'm hiccuping like crazy and I've got tears rolling down my face, but I'm happy.
Wedding planning, money troubles and politics aren't strong enough to fight the magic of beer and pizza.
 
"14 year old boy who was arrested and racially profiled is actually a piece of shit because he used the word 'invented' instead of 'made' and I am so fucking mad right now." is definitely my favorite conspiracy/batshit insanity from New Atheists.

It's much easier to pick a favorite conspiracy from that sector instead of the Socialist Left or the right.

I guess the one I've laughed at the most recently from the Socialist Left is: "The reason cops are shooting black people is because The Jews-I mean, Israel tell them to shoot black people."

nice call.

I remember on 9/11 my roommate and I just left work at lunch, got beer and pizza, and didn't go back to work until the next day. We didn't know what to think, but what we did know what would take our minds away from our own confusion and disorientation. Lily's pizza and some good beer.

edit: Trump has always been super vulnerable to a directed twitter+celeb+media trolling attack, but as long as Hillary is this far ahead there's no reason to hit him there.

Nice. Yeah, it'll fix most of the world's problems. At least temporarily.

Shorter: Hillary Clinton is an opportunistic racist real estate developer who doesn't pay her contractors what they're owed and then calls that negotiating, and she has a bad hair piece and is also bad for women because she enables sexist sexual assaulters.

Every time I see stuff from him like this, it makes the line of health questioning that much more alarming. Dude is literally telling you where to hit him.

Agreed. When that game came out it felt like the future of Final Fantasy. And we never got anything close to a follow up.

We need a true gambit system again. Not that mess in 13.

We should be running squareenix, it'd just be better in every single possible way.

Cher is getting to him. I love it. I wonder how much a straight up internet troll harassment brigade could unhinge him. It's too bad that the people who'd be perfect to lead that attack are supporting him.

LOL

I read the first story and there are only two paragraphs with actual substantive criticisms of his views and none of them would indicate the type self hating racism that would justify calling him a coon or comparing him to Milo. Ill try to get to the second story but it sounds like the same hearsay about his alleged embellishment of his past from the first story.

Remember. Try to focus on what you can control and go from there. As far as politics goes yea it's kinda tough. But the best thing you can do is go out and vote and try and convince others to do the same.

I don't know why they decided to introduce the Esper system midway through the game. I never really found myself enjoying it because it seemed forever to grind.

I stopped at White Castle after literally escaping from lower Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge and LIRR.

Clearly I was in a risky mood that day.
 
It's a better game if you just ignore Magicite. Still a broken mess, but less so, and much more fun to work with

In some ways it can feel like a bizarro FFI. Both are riddled with bugs in their original releases, but while FFI's tend to work against the player, FFVI's tend to work in the player's favor. I'd certainly prefer FFVI to FFI though.

I've got my work cut out for me on that last front. My best friend wants to vote for Trump because he thinks it would be funny. My other buddy brings up exit polls, recounts, and Vince Foster when I talk about getting in line and voting his conscience. My brother is a climate change denying, anti-vaxing, alcoholic libertarian that is too hungover to show up to work most of the time, my mother is the regional director of a crisis pregnancy center that focuses on taking women out of abortions, and every time I walk into my dad's office to talk about a project we are working on, he is watching Fox News.

Welcome to Idaho.

Well shit man lol. But you can only worry about how you'll vote and hopefully things work out for us. The past couple of years have shown me that people I thought were cool and decent are really shitty people.
 
No you don't. That tweet doesn't indicate anything at all about his feelings about Muslims.

I read the first story and there are only two paragraphs with actual substantive criticisms of his views and none of them would indicate the type self hating racism that would justify calling him a coon or comparing him to Milo. Ill try to get to the second story but it sounds like the same hearsay about his alleged embellishment of his past from the first story.

Yes, it does. It's a despicable tweet, that clearly shows his deep hatred, contempt, and lack of respect for the hijab, demanding that women take it off out of solidarity with women burned by acid (how the fuck does that make sense?) and implying that if they don't, if they wish to remain true to their principles and NOT take off the hijab, then they somehow agree with or are ok with acid torture.

Beyond the tweet, this guy is only loved by the ultra right-wing, and islamophobes. What does that tell you? Like many others, he has made a career out of his Islam bashing. Like the others (Walid Shoebat, Bridgette Gabrielle, etc), he's also a fraud and a con-man, who is simply monetizing a cottage industry of hate while ludicrously pretending he's "moderate" or a "reformer", while shitting on Islam and Muslims at every opportunity, in every way, and telling those that hate Muslims exactly what they want to hear.

My question to you is why you're such a rabid defender of this person. Is it because you also share his vitriolic hatred of Islam and all Muslims, and therefore agree with his hatred, mockery, and attacks? That's the only plausible explanation.
