there's like two black people in the comments agreeing with the pic and sharing it on their walls, is it me that's thinking too deep into this or is this pic hella dumb? one even said it's not about race, but it specifically says 3 black men in the pic. is there any way to interpret this and not be offended?

some people aren't ready to get that deep. once you stop sympathizing with the system and start thinking about the people, you stop being so proud of being one of the other two and start empathizing and wanting save the third.

The pressure on the black male from his own community is formidable. It makes finding your sense of self that much more difficult.

At first I didn't like the back turned gimmick, but the less you zero in on those unique features that makes a person an individual, the more these testimonies become more than one perspective, but the story of thousands. These confessions of weakness juxtaposed against the image of the shoulders which bear these issues is an inspired framing device.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Eloquent, the OP of that thread straight up said he spent his last bit of dough on a hooker and Splatoon. No one even asked, he just laid it out there.

So he's either a master troll or (more likely) just...yeah.

Man really decided Splatoon and sex were worth starving for a month. And then didn't even have sex. And tried to cuss out a pimp over poor marketing. And woke up missing an eyebrow somehow.

This is...a lot.

Shit like that hooker thread is one of the reasons people don't respect "gamers". I mean dude has no food, is going through a breakup and he's out here spending all his dough on Splatoon and trying to save a ho...

BCT has the best history?


They went Detective on him damn?
Click to expand...

Detective? nope, he revealed all that himself. Apparently only has 29 dollars left to spend on food

Also, that mouse killing thread is going places, some people set fire to the vermin, others electrocute them, one person trained the vermin to think of the traps as food and then wiped them out

After last years NBA Finals, I decided to take a break from sports in general, as I thought reading up on this stuff everyday was starting to make me feel "stupid". I missed pretty much all of the NFL, NBA, and NHL seasons, and only listened to the His and Hers podcast. I just started listening to First Take again, and wow I feel like there is no growth there. It sounds exactly the same, with the exact same rhetoric and faux outrage spewed by SAS and Bayless.

What a croc.

that last one is so fucking diabolical. You feel like that's some Stanford Research Institute type shit there. Like that shit would work on humans. Like that shit was originally tried on humans first.

Found the problem. Would recommend taking two Zack Lowe articles and call me in the morning.

Espn commentators are a cancer. But, if their drivel is enough to push you away from watching the games, maybe you do need to take a break.

If you want better understanding of the games, grant land is probably the right analysis and the right schedule. 24 hour sports is too much. They start breaking out Michael 'who wants some crack' Irvin on HBO's inside the NFL and you know we've fallen. Can't stand his 'I'll laugh and say something' analysis. Just know that sports is big business and the great white hype for television's decrepit corpse and just watch the games. Or watch them with the sound off and a local radio station (usually northeast city) on.

Grantland has some solid writers. I've been an avid reader since it launched. Never much cared for Simmons' articles, but he sure collected some talent.

Barnwell's only weakness is how much he hocks ESPN's bootleg QBR stat.

lol.

Yeah, I used to be an avid listener to the show, but around the middle of 2013 I felt that it was too much, bordering on worship watching ESPN. That started to spill over when I started watching games. The rituals, the treatment of athletes as "saviors" and the talk about a player moving from one team to another is the equivalent of the world ending, and the constant bombardment of 1-2 topics spewing for nearly weeks on end became too much for me. It's part of the reason I decided to stop watching/listening to ESPN.

I enjoyed Grantland, but when I quit, I wanted to get away completely. I stopped listening/watching/reading everything related to that network from June-February (with few exceptions, I had to read Simmons article on Goodell because it was hilarious). Coming back to it now, I'm becoming more aware on how much our society is dependent on sports, to the point of fanaticism.

I'll have to read some Lowe articles to catch up.

Zach Lowe is the truth. Written word and podcast. I'd fight for that man.

In other news...the graphic novel KS is up. Wish me luck, fam.

I'm getting some serious Harmony of a Hunter vibes from that music snippet. Good luck, bish!

Fake edit: oh well fuck, he was the sound designer for Metroid Prime, no wonder. You have that dude working on this?

Real edit: lol at the "eaten by a dinosaur in the comic" goal. Reminds me of something they did back during the Homestuck videogame kickstarter where people who submitted $10,000 would have a character of theirs show up in the comic, and a $50,000 submission would have them survive for more than one panel. He had to lock out the upper echelons because two people actually did the ten grand one, though.
