Nah, i don't have the room, or money.

And even though i have a I7 4770k, GTX Titan and 16GB of RAM. I still don't get Ready on the performance test. :_:

I don't even have a PC that can run it.

You're saying the joke fell flat others are saying it perpetuates anti-Asian racism.

When you make jokes like that in a venue like that, it gives that type of crowd a pass, intentional or not. It's what I was talking about before with Chappelle syndrome. I don't feel the trade-off is worth it, but that's just me.

I feel as if a couple of Rock's jokes had that "Chappelle Syndrome" where I felt like people were laughing for the wrong reasons.

Like the part about black people having more important things to protest instead of representation in the Oscars in the 60s...felt like the room was laughing off the valid issue of underrepresentation instead of laughing at the people who thought "why weren't they protesting the Oscars in the 60s" was somehow a valid counterargument to #OscarsSoWhite.

To be honest, I don't really know how I'd take it if I wasn't black. Hell, I can't know. I understand the frustration people have with not having their people's issues addressed, but why would you expect someone not in your group to speak for you? Not even stand with you, which really should be expected, but speak for you?

And some people are getting way too happy in that thread .

There is a point were those that actually mean well will get frustrated and feel a little worn out from the constant friction. This is the kind of thread were a well placed troll comment can ignite all sides. There really is no safe place for anyone to stand on this one when the conversation can't be 100% frank and honest.

Nah, that one post was designed to light people up. Disappointing how many people fell for it.

These are the kind of discussions that can play out right if cool heads are kept and receipts are produced, but more often than not people just want to slap box.

That's where I'm at. Tossing my frustrations over in my head a bit has at least clarified the source of my frustrations for me though, so it wasn't a complete loss. The ignorant people protesting for Peter Liang or going after Chris Rock are fucking it up for the rest of us who want to ally with other minority groups, because we're all fighting the same problem in the end.

I really enjoyed that video. Really good production values. Cameras on tripods, close to the people being pranked so we can clearly see, and they also were nice enough to mic them up so we can hear them.

I was told if there's no whipping, dragging, or burning, that things aren't racist. Sorry. Doesn't fit. Also..

All the cheers during the "we had better things to protest" joke made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't have a problem with the joke but the audience enjoyed that one way too much.

He paced the punchline well. You could see the discomfort and they earned every iota.

I just don't want worthwhile discussion getting buried under the shit. People leaning back in their Ugg boots while minorities hiss at each other is not the wave,

Shit isn't difficult to remember when you see that person popup in threads where blacks people are victims of something horrible and they continue spouting that devil's advocate, victim blaming bullshit.
It's easy to remember who ain't shit.

Well, an asterisk on my suggestion is to play single-player stuff. Sometimes when I feel like hating myself, I'll play a MOBA and remind myself why I hate humanity sometimes.
