I actually like Jaden. Kilts are a thing. Kids got swag. Course it's borrowed and paid for swag, but eventually he'll own it.

people hated Jonathan Taylor Thomas and all the other teen heartthrob\actor types, and they weren't nearly as prolific in the social media as J-dash. his arc is different, and his visibility is higher, so the wavering reactions from the masses isn't that surprising. I like to poke fun, but I expect him to be good. He's just a kid though. Not a skilled thespian.

See...I would shave my head, cover myself in silver and black metallic paint, and walk around in 12 inch high spiked platform boots. Behind me, 12 nubian warriors beat massive bass drums, while my hype-woman is carried on a dais by spearmen painted like leopards. And she's screaming like Aretha.

That's how I would go to Starbucks, if I was Jaden Smith rich.

I liked Jaden in the Karate Kid

I dunno how much actual hate he is getting (maybe you guys have a better idea) but there's nothing I've seen or heard from him (aside from the Karate Kid where I thought he did good) that I would consider interesting or noteworthy. I sure as hell don't hate him, I have better things to do with my mental energies. I do feel like he doesn't match the image of what I would expect from "Will Smith's son" though. You'd expect someone who fell from that tree to be brimming with intelligence, wit and charm. Jaden may in reality be all those things but he sure doesn't give off any of those vibes in public. I don't know too much about Willow so I can't really comment on her. Ah well, not that big a deal. I wish no ill will on the Smith family and only wish them well and hope the kids can have a productive life be it in film or whatever they do.

Wish I could get into Thrones, but Low Fantasy bores me, Low Fantasy with multiple POV puts me in a coma. But DemThrones on Black Guy Who Tips is awesome.

I don't know. I really like The Red Hood since I read Under the hood, not sure if I should pre-order Batman: The arkham knight for just it. I am pretty meh on the Arkham series.

Trey Smith is living that life though. Jaden and Willow get all the negative press while he gets the same trust fund.

watching some Star Trek TNG

Is there a Deanna Troi episode that isn't garbage? Besides that one where she's a Romulan.

We were just glad to stare at her for whatever reason. It was the times. Porn was harder to get than liquor or weed. And the only one of those I was interested in was the one with the low cut blouse.

Five minute excerpt on The Atlantic of an interesting-looking video documentary

'When Did You Become a Black Man?'

When did you become a black man? is the opening question of Philadelphia-based artist Shikeith's 45-minute documentary, #blackmendream. We've posted a five-minute excerpt, but I encourage you to watch the entire film. The documentary is comprised of interviews with nine black men, all turned away from the camera and many of them unclothed. It is intimate, sometimes uncomfortably so, exploring topics that are often taboo for young black men to discuss—being gay, crying, depression, the in-group pressures of black society.

Hopefully it hasn't already been posted. :x

That's just a topic I feel like I need to learn more about before commenting. I couldn't figure out who she was and had to Google. I thought it was her first kids.

Then I had a brain disconnection around the boobs. I figured they were in the plan but just couldn't reconcile. So I closed the thread. There should be navigation buttons on GAF: gaming, off topic and close thread buttons. Obviously, my limited understanding of events aren't necessary nor will they enhance the conversation. I'm guessing there are a few hundred people in that thread who would benefit from a 'close thread and go play games' button. Maybe it'll auto launch steam or something.

Fixed the bolded.

Good for her BTW. Though I thought the change would take more time. I could have sworn she still had her male "exoskeleton" like last month or something.

I am ignorant as fuck when it comes to trans, and gender stuff. So I just go, "what does that person want to be identified as, and be called" and call it a day. Cause they just want basic respect, and honestly you have to be an asshole to go out of your way not to give it to them.

And people need to learn it is ok not to voice an opinion, good or bad.

lol..I feel you. I'm an oddball, I'd say, on the subject. I just respect the idea of being left alone when it comes to certain things. Just let them be. I don't equate it to what the majority of minorities go/have gone through, but I know it's in certainly the ballpark.

I say this as a good old anti-gay, trans, white, Hispanic, insert dumb opinion here type of person..I let others drive my personal feelings, rather than getting to know these groups personally, and recognize them as individuals. My friends laugh when they hear me speak nowadays, because holy shit..I was a straight piece of shit as a youngin.

As a dude who grew up with Bruce Jenner as an Olympic icon, there's a strange spot in my head..no lie. But, this isn't fucking about me. It's THAT simple. I know I'll get a couple of calls this evening from some older friends, and their old school opinions..I'm actually looking forward to it lol. I love messing with them cats.

I destroyed those 3 interviews. had no criminal record on a background check. In the end I got got by an unsympathetic cop saying i'm at fault, therefore screwing me over a year later after I almost died from someone basically cutting me off not even stopping to see if I'm okay. people wonder why I don't believe in shit like karma

bitch I'm taking calls.
I just had a dream where I was dead and shown a slideshow of scenes from my life. There were a lot of scenes that hadn't happened yet that looked awesome and I am excited to make them happen. Also I was shocked by what wasn't in the slideshow: anything about romantic relationships, focusing on finding a significant other or ideas of marriage etc. All of which have been big thoughts in my waking life lately.

I think my subconscious just reminded me what goals I need to pursue and what I need to throw in the bushes (or at least stop caring about so damn much).

Dreams like these are so interesting to me. Ive had plenty of these for years, or maybe the same dream multiple times for ages. I wonder, for me, if I get to understand the meaning everytime this dream comes to me. Exciting and scary.

It was a job where I'd be driving a lot, granted my last employer had me driving even more and they only cared about criminal charges on my driving history. it's all about liability and negligence though. I understand why, it's just still bullshit.

Worst comment on Bruce Jenner that I'll say: he wasn't no Olympic icon. He didn't perform no vault on a broken ankle. And I'm only calling him Bruce until the common folk catch on to Caitlin. There has to be a cross over period. How long it's that period?
