Yeah I'm okay with the cold, I just like warming up as an option, which for a significant part of my childhood I didn't have other than huddling with your siblings.

I think that's my issue. It was always so fucking hot. D.C. winter was like the greatest fucking thing. I'd walk the snowy streets while everyone else is hiding in their homes. Blocks that always had people hanging out were straight empty once it would hit 50-60°..with snow? Shit..streets were mine lol. Shorts and a t-shirt for me. 2 pairs of everything for my girl..

If I rode 80+ miles, sure..those days I'd fill up the tub with scorching hot water. Then I'd take a cold shower after..

Because I can't vote for Obama again and I'm not voting for a party dedicated to fucking over non white males at every turn or the "I have black friends" old guy that's never had a chance of winning. Hilary will just follow Obama, which is good enough.

Makes sense to me. I voted against Hillary due to her being a Clinton due to dynasties and I'm wary about a Clinton one. Also due to Bernie being more left than her, along with hitting on the ludicrous costs of education whereas I feel Hillary, from what I've read and heard at least, was kind of lacking in outside of making community college free. While that's good, I don't think that's good enough. I could be terribly misinformed though.

I'd make a thread asking why someone would vote for Hillary, but I feel I'd get a bunch of people who are only interested in reading their own posts. I'd simply want to be enlightened but I feel I'd get caught between folks who have axes to grind.

I feel I'm to pick between an out of touch jewish dude and a white lady who may as well be a gender-swapped Frank Underwood.

I'm going to skip on presidential; I considered her out of spite to some people I know, but I'll go with my traditional skip it.

California was meant to have free community colleges, cheap state schools and a slightly less cheap UCs. Then tax cuts ruined it all.

I believe all community colleges should be free and all state schools should be free to affordable. Affordable being under 7k a year. Private schools can do as they please. The for profit schools should be shut down

All y'all should go see Zootopia. Real talk.


‘Zootopia’ Review: The Best Family Film about Racism You’ll Ever See

Family films preaching the values of tolerance are nothing new. It’s a good message, it’s easy to impart, and it’s important that young viewers understand and assimilate those values. Where Disney Animation’s excellent new film Zootopia sets itself apart is by attacking prejudice head-on. Rather than preaching or putting on kid gloves, Zootopia attempts to examine the “why” of prejudice rather than the surface elements. Through it’s clever, endearing characters, hilarious jokes, and honest sentiment, Zootopia comes away as a film that’s not only a joy to watch, but also one with a message that couldn’t feel more relevant right now.

What ‘Zootopia’ has to say about the police, race relations, and diversity

I went into a screening of Zootopia expecting to see a relatively short movie about anthropomorphized animals trying to live out their dreams in a big city. Five minutes into the film, and after a few laughs, though, it became clear that beneath its clever puns Zootopia‘s actually a sharp-witted commentary on modern race relations.

‘Zootopia’: A Disney Movie Tackling Inequality and Racism

Disney has created an animated movie depicting a surface-level post-racial utopia with a dark underbelly.
On a tertiary level, the city of Zootopia looks like one where all animals coexist peacefully. But what we see as the movie goes on is a society that would rather believe it has no inter-species problems to solve, rather than taking a hard look in the mirror. The central conflict revolves around a fear of predators, a small minority of the population that prey believe are genetically predisposed to harm them.
It’s a heavy racial narrative for what amounts to a kids’ movie, but one that’s all too relevant given the real-world context of its story.

http://variety.com/2016/film/reviews/zootopia-film-review-1201703504/

A classic L.A.-style detective story, a la “The Big Lebowski” or “Inherent Vice,” yielding an adult-friendly whodunit with a chipper “you can do it!” message for the cubs. … The deeper they go, the more “Zootopia” comes to resemble such vintage noirs as “Chinatown” and “L.A. Confidential,” from its increasingly shadowy look to Michael Giacchino’s jazzy lounge-music score.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/02/12/zootropolis-review-woof-woof-thats-the-sound-of-the-police/

... Zootropolis is a decent family movie that is easy enough to enjoy. What really, really makes the film interesting though is its focus on politics. Trying to tip toe around too many spoilers, the film has a pretty clear political focus, and that’s one of societal prejudice, most specifically that of race. The film isn’t lightly hinting at this either, it bravely runs headlong into the issue by making it the entire premise of the central narrative.

Zootopia is legit.

I want to propose the addition of three new questions to the icebreaker.

  • Marvel or DC? Favorite superhero?
  • Anime or nah?
  • What's your favorite Disney movie?

Good God these campaign ads. I just got a glimpse at the kind of shit they're running in the south. Maybe I just haven't been to the south during campaign season since the late 90's (or maybe ever) and didn't remember.

See, my part-time job involves listening to audio recordings sent to me from another state. Sometimes I can hear the TV in the background. Today I was wondering why the recording appeared to be unusually long. Then towards the end of it you can hear some kind of Ted Cruz ad come on with some western soundtrack and a guy saying "Ted Cruz... is my man." There were gunshots in the commercial and everything. It sounded like a pickup truck commercial. And you can tell the person who sends me the recordings stopped to watch the add. This isn't even Texas. And I just remembered I gotta go down there in the summer.

Shit it's hard even if you're just looking for a job in general. I was without one for almost a year. I was too qualified to flip burgers, but underqualified for anything in my major. I recently went back to my old job and that even took a while because my phone got cut off when they called me and then didn't listen when I told them to call the other number. I got it back now, but I can't make it out of here with this shit. With these hours I be getting and my last experience there I'm pretty sure this first check will only be about $48 and the rest I'll be lucky to make $80+.

The thing is I took the damn major after being counseled in my school because I wanted to change my major to something else, but was unsure. I had been asking game studios for years what kind of degrees they're looking for in a designer or writer and no one ever game me a straight answer. I feel like I should've did a science like my brother, but I barely passed any science class I had and failed on two occasions.

Since 2009 I've been working on games. Made a couple quiz games and right now working on a visual novel, but shit that shit is boring as hell and the smallest amount of programming I struggle with. People on here pointed me to some without it, but I must don't have a comprehension of programming because the scripting in Twine and Ren'py still feel like it to me and I can't even understand all of that.

I tried quest design for someone here on this forum, but that negro is full of shit. I spent a lot of time writing about eight quests and that man disappears on multiple occasions and act like it ain't shit when I confront him about his lack of communication. Back in October/September I think was the last time I talked to him. Said he was moving and was going to hit me up next week and never did. That was his third time doing that shit, so I stopped.

After that I've been focusing on this visual novel. I had went back to my old school and posted ads to get a group together to work on a game, but that shit didn't work. People didn't respond after my initial email. I want to get into music, because I tried it a little bit before and it's more fun and I know studios need composers more than they do writers, but my attempts to get a music program have only given me a virus. I tried again the other day and I think I got something because I started hearing ads through something called Web Helper and now there are desktop.ini icons on my desktop. I would like to work with somebody on a game again, but I'm afraid of shit like that happening again.

I'd vote for Hillary. She has the most experience of all the candidates. I feel she kinda already knows what's going on in the backround. Foreign policy as well as domestic. Either way as long as Trump doesn't win and presses the you're fire button and creates WW3. That man can't hold his tongue and only spews out garbage from his mouth.
