Look I'm just gonna say it, most of the NBA is dumb as all high hell. Most professional athletes are dumb as all high hell.

I they slowed down a lot. Back in the day Kpop and Pop would kill a browser and it's next of kin.
Pretty much, they been focused on pretty much one thing most of their life since puberty. But I am glad for the self aware ones like Lebron, Williams, and that baseball dude i can't remember the name of.

I was just looking for some new sounds. Im taking in The Odd Tape and Process by Sampha. I don't know I feel kinda bored with Hip Hop on a whole right now. I've found myself going straight to instrumentals or R&B.
BTW Blood Orange's Freetown Sound is an amazing body of work that I recommend to everyone.
I think the history electives I took were mostly world history. A lot more material to cover in about the same amount of time so you end up with broader strokes. Right now my best way of catching up has been Extra History on YouTube.
I use to reenact historical battles using miniatures.

Same. Got a ton of books on old battles
Edit: and Reagan pandered super hard to the black community, gotta remember that his fear campaigns had many neighborhoods asking him for harsher drug laws because the gang violence was getting so out of hand.
They just didn't realize that he would target everybody from those neighborhoods while still leaving them to die without any boon from the fed or the state to pump money into them. But Reagan is still real popular with people that think he tries to do the right thing. Which, well, he didn't and honestly I don't even think that was his fault. Dude had dementia within two years of his first term.
You haven't lived until you seen grown men spend 8 hours messing with 4 foot tall Warhammer figures and dice.

Broader?
Bad word, bigger like ABC, CBS, etc. The people that need to see it the most rarely watch PBS I bet
Yes.
Pretty much this.
My space would be so much more colorful if that were the case.
Still, that b would come along and steal that shit. Again.

Worse, honestly. I doubt most people can name five presidents. Removing Obama.
History education and poli sci are horrible.
Which is why we are now, well. Here.

I was actually shocked that my book went into the Japanese internment in WW2 and didn't try to sugarcoat it, looking back.
I feel like I haven't been a card carrying member of the BCT since NIJ.
Hint: I'm not on the discord.

I was aces in history class in high school. I studied my ass off with cards and maintained an A average. Honestly that was the only class I feel proud of passing.

I loved my history classes. Actually, I think everyone did. We had some good teachers.
A thief would take anything even if it is shit!
Because they want to play Breath of the Wild and no one stole a Wii U so they can't play that version.
But better to thief something that's good and doubt they got much mark up on the units. But then some gamers are crazy.
Harsh but also funny.

I had a low B/high C grade in my history class, IIRC. Our teacher was pretty boring and I was constantly reading ahead so I was never at the same place as the rest of the class. Same deal in English too. I remember the entire class did a double take in my direction when he was announcing grades from a test we did.
"The highest score was a 98."
*asks each student if they want their grade announced, finally gets to me*
"Yeah sure, I don't care."
"...you got the 98."
"...wow!"
One of my classmates I guess attempted to snitch on me by saying that I was always reading ahead when we were reading out loud from novels. The teacher was more annoyed at him than at me, lol.
I honestly should've taken high school more seriously, but I was going through a *lot* so I just dicked around.
I've been taking physics, math, and computer science courses for the past year. I miss the other subjects and not have a GPA that looked like crap
It's showing at a couple of large theaters in L.A.
I'm intent on seeing it next weekend.

I think if I had liked my teachers more, I would've done way better. The aforementioned English teacher, and my Government teacher, were both cool as shit and I can't remember ever studying harder or paying attention more in any other class.
Probably have to wait ages to see it here in UK.

Hey, you can probably get a lot for an unreleased gaming system.

Every new Switch thread is the most embarrassing thread I've read on here. Honestly, some of the posters in them are just...geez
Anyway, just saw John Wick 2 with friends. See that shit!

There's so much variation out there though. I'll give you a couple lyric tracks and some instrumentals and R&B.
Princess Nokia - Green Line
Tweet-Charlene
Vanilla-Moonlight
Joyce Wrice - Rocket Science/Stay Around/Take It Easy
Sammus - Perfect Dark
I don't think I listened to anything that came out this year other than that Vanilla.

I would say so. In terms of just pure visceral action it's to gunplay what The Raid 1/2 are to hand to hand combat, and some of the kills in the movie...they weren't ever gory, but I definitely cringed and there were audible gasps from the audience

The threads where features are announced are the worst ones
"I don't mind no Netflix. I only buy gaming systems to play games!"
"I don't mind paying for online because there is a chance Nintendo will fix it now!"
"I don't mind that there is no internet browser. I barely used it on Wii U!"
The list goes on...

What's wrong with any of those?

On the list of reasons to be upset about the Switch's features on launch, the lack of a web browser should be non-existent.
Same. Raid 1&2 are great films. Shame the US is doing a American reboot of them.
Like having to use your phone to be able to chat.

I mean, the thing is essentially a tablet
I'd be pissed if a tablet I bought didn't have apps or a web browser.
I won't lie, none of what you listed is gonna stop me from pre-ordering. I'm just smart enough to not post in those threads and say that, cuz dem optics lol, it'd literally get me nowhere. Neither is exactly something I could defend to begin with, like the internet browser or phone thing; I just know that it doesn't affect me personally. There's a lot to be disappointed about, but I'd be lying if I said that some people clearly love to shit on the Switch no matter what. On one hand it clearly deserves some ridicule, but I definitely peep a bunch of posts that just make a nigga go "Lol..."

The system is $300 with pretty much 1 game that matters at launch with paid online, something Nintendo struggled with in the past. It doesn't have any of the features that the two competing consoles had during their launches but it's usually shrugged off by some because it's Nintendo.
I don't usually care about paid online because I don't pay for online but it will be really shitty to have to pay for it when the next mainline Pokemon hits.
I'm still buying one but it's still really disappointing in some areas.
Man I miss that show. I knew it was special cuz my friends actually went out of their way to watch it with me weekly lol

Reagan crushed the Soviets (not really but we'll go with it). And Obama accomplished very little after his first two years (not his fault).
That and white people just have an affinity towards him because grats when "times were good".
So, stupid shit.
Everything about that episode was just hilarious, but the whole Harrison Booth thing in particular is what had me deceased, especially with the punchline of him
not giving a fuck about transgender people.

Hey, if you like it you like. I'm nit going ti convince you it's a bad system or anything. Like, I'm really excited for the future of this thing but right now I feel that it's a bit slow out of the gate.
