i'm not a fan of writing off entire races when it comes to dating in general tbh

like, where does it start? where does it stop? are you going to break things up if it turns out she's 1/16th Cherokee or some bullshit?

No one who says statements like this think that far with their statement. Like when a GAFer in a dating thread says they don't date black people/don't find black people attractive, they're talking about the template in their head that they've created that represents all black people. Kind of like when you are an intelligent black person and you talk to someone who hasn't interacted with many black people and they go "You speak so well", because prior to this conversation they thought all black people were unintelligent based on the template in their head.

I feel like Spidey's held back by his personality in the way that Deadpool's held back by his, though not to that degree. He held up a building once.

Not as impressive as stealing 40 cakes, though

Spidey beat a person so bad she rather tell Dr.Doom to get bent than rather fight him again. Let me repeat she rather piss off Dr.Doom then fight Spiderman.
 
But that's super symbiote God super symbiote Spider-Man....

That's from Back in Black, the suit is 100% fabric.

Spider-Man fucked up Wolverine once or twice, too.

That fight is such a colossal mis-match in every way. Except maybe popularity.

I feel like I would spend most of my superhero career in on again off again relationships with all the mid-to-bottom tier female super-criminals.

I often thought that. Those Supervillain chicks are loyal. Volcano stayed down for the Molecule Man no matter how crazy shit got.

Spidey clowns everyone.

He has trouble with the Rhino, or the Vulture, but can heartstop the entire Xmen team in 30 seconds or less. While talking shit. I think he subconsciously recognizes the threats from the Xmen, so his spidey-sense just makes him pull out those Fierce combos instead of his normal "I must stop him, it's my responsibility" shit he usually runs on.

We see that when you piss him off, he becomes Captain America trained by Shiva level bad. But usually he's facing victim of circumstance mooks that he tries to take down and arrest instead of fighting for his life. You don't play with Wolverine, or Cyclops, or Colossus.

Anybody else considering upgrading to the i5 6600K or i7 6700K? I'm still rocking a i7 2600K and GTX 670 - not really sure what to do, tbh

Are you overclocked? Tbh, I'm not seeing a reason to upgrade my CPU for a while. GPU is a different story.

i5 4670k @ 4.2Ghz and GTX580 here.

They making niggas clean their gyms, like some slaves.

Got cameras monitoring your every move, computers with no internet access, and if they deem you useless as a dev, they ship you off to work in a pachinko machine factory rather than fire you.

They on some other shit.

If you got to email somebody out the company, they make a random black planet email address burner so you can't ask for help.

Liked a Facebook post about a coworker making it out finding a new job, came in on Monday to find themselves with new jobs and under surveillance. Probably are interrogated on how they managed to get out long enough to use Facebook.
 
I don't think it's necessarily racism. If we're talking physical attraction, it's no different than preferring certain hair styles or body types. Granted, this is still very much influenced by media and culture (which are discriminatory as all fuck), but the existence of preferences for certain features in an individual is not necessarily an indicator of personal racism. It's only when you start tying those preferences to personality traits and stereotypes - like dudes who prefer Asian women because they're "submissive" - that you cross over into racist shitheel territory.

Nah, I still think it's racism. Mad low key, but it still is. Not everyone in a race has the same traits. I mean, I have physical and style preferences, even facial preferences, but I can find someone of any race that fit them. Or mixed.

But to me, a bigger factor, and this may fall into racism or some sort of ism, is the SO's family. Just got back from my brother's wedding, and noticed how much better things were with this girl compared to his old fiance. And a big part of that was a way better family.

If a girl has a bigoted family, or my family outright doesn't like her, I can love her to death, but that shit isn't going to work out without drastic measures. And i'm not willing to do that.

Slayven,

So...as someone who, I tell myself, is not really into comics despite reading a lot of them*, I signed up for that Marvel Unlimited service and read through the first arc of the recent Ms Marvel run. It's fucking great.

I started reading through the Amazing Spider Man series that features Kamala Khan and am having a hard time going through it...specifically these 1.1 and 1.3 point releases are driving me fucking insane. I tend to find anything that glamorizes the 'good ol days' as inherently repulsive and this art and dialog is not doing it any favors for me. Do I need to read them to get the full picture or can I safely skip them?


*I've read:
Dark Knight
From Hell (stopped reading something like 300 fucking pages into the detailed dissection/mutilation scene...it was a great book until that point but that shit was way too hardcore for me)
Watchmen
Red Son
a few issues from Ultimate Spider Man
Thor: God of Men
First 3 volumes of the '88 run of Black Panther
Whatever the fuck run of Superman I read and couldn't even finish the first issue my god what a boring superhero I need to wipe that shit from my memory
Few volumes of Walking Dead
Daredevil The Man Without Fear
Probably forgetting a few like a few random issues of Spawn back when I was in elementary school
