Trump becoming President has officially made me think anything is possible. It is not a lie to tell kids they can be anything they want anymore. That ish is the truth.

Yeah, but our first black president was one of the most intelligent presidents we've ever had. We have a long way to go before we will see black reality TV show hosts likes of Nick Cannon or Steve Harvey winning a political party nomination (hopefully we never get there).
 
I have to say, with Trump winning and looking at his cabinet picks, I feel hella inspired to be able to do anything.

When Obama won, yeah we had a black president, but I never felt like I could be president. I felt if I had kids that they could be president, but not my fuckup ass.

But now? Knowing I could be the biggest piece of shit and get elected, it doesn't matter as long as I play on the fears of the electorate? That's some empowering shit.

If Trump can be president, fuck it I can do anything. Like, I'm applying for jobs I am wholly unqualified for. If they do call me back and ask why I should get the position, I'm just gonna say "well if Trump can be president with no government experience, shit you should let me be CISO, I at least have the certs and know the shit out of my industry."

It's weird because I feel the same thing. The week after Trump won I thought, "Man I can become a millionaire and successful if this guy can."

I have never been empowered by so much hate and stupidity before.

Oh, didn't know you guys were white too.

Look dudes, i'm not taking the piss out of you.

If you feel empowered by Golden Cheeto, more power to you (hehe) but don't even think you'll be able to get away with 0.1% of what he has in his whole life.

Look at the VERY VERY VERY fine line that Obama has had to walk and even then, when he started talking about police brutality and saying stuff like "Trayvon could've been my son", he lost quite a bit of white support. Look at all the purity tests being thrown now at Devin Booker since someone said he might want to take a shot at the presidency in 2020.

Anyone that thinks they can get away with shit because a rich white man, who's had family in government since who knows how long, does what he wants..that person is an idiot. No more. No less.
 
Pretty much the sad truth of this country

--------------

Just recently read the current issue of Team Fortress 2 comics and it is fucking bizarre. Like the demoman is now a living distillery now to pump alcoholic blood throughout his body. Which is actually par for the course in a world where rocket jumping is a mode of transport up to higher places, piss is a weapon and John Henry was a mercenary working with Abe Lincoln and Nikola Tesla.

So an extra Joycon controller is $79, a pro controller is around $70, and an extra dock is around $90, right? Add on Breath of the Wild and that's basically the cost of a 2nd Nintendo Switch.

Morning BCT.


Trump being elected just tells me how much harder we have to work, and being white and wealthy will open any door.
Now sadly, this is the truth.

I was watching that Frontline thing about America from 08 to now. Holy jesus Obama made a joke about him getting shot if he tried to get into the White House without his keys basically.

lol y'all ain't gonna be able to get away with what trump has

These are all no shit statements, everyone black knows (or should know) that you have to work twice as hard to get half of what white folks got, and I think yall missed the point. The point is that if someone can be wildly incompetent and win by selling themselves properly to their audience, all that hard work shit don't really matter (but being white helps so damn much). You can go on ahead and apply what I said to different avenues of your life.

"Damn she fine. I'm gonna approach her because if Trump can be president, I should be able to get her number."

Make more sense for yall?

Trump being president let me know ain't shit beyond my reach. I knew I was never getting into Harvard, so I couldn't be Obama. If white people are so goofy in the head that they will let Trump be president and let Allen West be anything but a patient in an insane asylum, nigga I goddamn sure can do anything and be the Trump of whatever I want to do.

I don't have to be white to capitalize off of other's. I'm not about to run for president..
but catch me on Wall St

Also you don't know my life! My phone interview voice has yet to fail me.

My code switch is undefeated.

Like yonce said best revenge is your paper.

Trust me when I say, even when you at the top they'll still look down on you unless you bow.

Oh no doubt.

Those switch Acessories are stupidly expensive, but dudes on gaming acting like you have to buy all of them. At launch I'm getting the system, Zelda, a pro controller based on how I feel about the joy con grip.

Me and the lady are going half on joy cons so we can each have the solid color we want.

This pretty much what I'm sticking with except I'll probably grab a micro sd as well. After I have the thing I might look at a screen protector tho

This I never understood. This aint 1994, you don't have to buy multiple controllers to have a house party playing video games like back in the day. You can theoretically get by with 1 controller for most people as most gaming is online.

I mean, let's be real, how often are people having 4 player Wii parties, even at the height of the device? Couch co-op just doesn't happen anymore.

I have 3 PS4 remotes but also have a PS4 and PS4 Pro, so...*shrugs*

It's a weird thing because for the multiplayer games were going to be playing with friends and family were going to have 4 controllers by default.

I still play split screen with friends so it's a problem for me, especially for Nintendo games.
 
I preordered a bunch of shit but I'm def gonna scale back. I need to see how 1-2 switch works and how many players before committing to that and another set of controllers.

Hell I still don't know if I want the neon or gray system

Well that's your problem right there. The games that really lend themselves to 4 player aren't on the PS4. Coming off the WiiU this is pretty much a must for me.
 
Ain't getting a switch til Pokemon. Not a day sooner. Unless I get a great deal

That ARK Pokemon mod pretty much proved there needs to be a high fidelity open world pokemon game.

Hell make it look like FFXV but a Pokemon game (and fully fleshed out and not have the second half as half-baked as FFXV) and it would sell out for months.

According to AHS, to make a racist stop being racist, you gotta save their life

It's easy to spot a bigot in the UK because they love Trump.

Anyone ever seen the DOA movie?

Yes, and it isn't any good.

Devon Aoki as Kasumi isn't the worst casting in the movie either.

funny story, I used to work in Benihana and Devon Aoki (who's dad founded it) ate at the branch I worked at. She only got a 20% discount. Long story why, but it was still bizarre
