Infamous for damn sure, if you play FPS, BF4. It's great now.

They fixed BF4's shit? I was thinking of picking it up but after reading that all kinds of shit was broken I decided not to.

 

[Storm Chamber]

I learned the one thing I hate more than a lot of other things today. You ever had someone text you "Call Me!!!" and when you call them they don't answer. I'm talking someone important, not run of the mill mother fuckers. Then you get to that point where you get concerned and that turns to worry then anger. And when you finally speak to them 45 fucking minutes later, its fucking NOTHING! I almost broke a goddamn window.

Too many times

That is one of my pet peeves, that and "phantom' calls. You know when you call someone let it ring until the voicemail comes up and they hit you with," you didn't call me" that makes me so angry

Just don't bother with the SP, it has a save data glitch that I'm not sure if it has been fixed.

The Case for Reparations article in The Atlantic is really really good. He managed to pull together different pieces of discrimination and racial prejudice to show how entrenched the effects of slavery are today. If a there was ever an explanation of what white privilege is, that article should be it.

This is a brilliant article. Also the end is quite sad, shows that history is just repeating itself in more subtle ways. Here are some highlights:

It was in these early years that Ross began to understand himself as an American—he did not live under the blind decree of justice, but under the heel of a regime that elevated armed robbery to a governing principle.

The concentration of poverty has been paired with a concentration of melanin. The resulting conflagration has been devastating.

One thread of thinking in the African American community holds that these depressing numbers partially stem from cultural pathologies that can be altered through individual grit and exceptionally good behavior. Some put the blame on the family: “Too many men making too many babies they don’t want to take care of, and then we end up dealing with your children.” These are all wrong.

It is as though we have run up a credit-card bill and, having pledged to charge no more, remain befuddled that the balance does not disappear. The effects of that balance, interest accruing daily, are all around us.

One cannot escape the question by hand-waving at the past, disavowing the acts of one’s ancestors, nor by citing a recent date of ancestral immigration. The last slaveholder has been dead for a very long time. The last soldier to endure Valley Forge has been dead much longer. To proudly claim the veteran and disown the slaveholder is patriotism à la carte.

Indeed, in America there is a strange and powerful belief that if you stab a black person 10 times, the bleeding stops and the healing begins the moment the assailant drops the knife. We believe white dominance to be a fact of the inert past, a delinquent debt that can be made to disappear if only we don’t look.

“Wells Fargo mortgage had an emerging-markets unit that specifically targeted black churches because it figured church leaders had a lot of influence and could convince congregants to take out subprime loans.”

To me, it makes what Sterling was pulling even more repugnant.

I've definitely not been on top of my history game so I didn't see how many of the incidents I've read about before were symptoms of a larger whole.

Article helped bring it together, I should probably do way more reading but it's kind of fucked that then I would know more black American history than I would Ghanaian history. I forsee lots of reading in my future

 

[TheKaeptain]

The future refuses to change. No matter how many people from different timelines in the future and from the past try to influence it.

What would be hilarious is when the teens go back everything changes for the worst and the only people that remember it are Wolvie and Beast. Everything that has gone wrong was their fault. I want this to happen just so marvel can say that Cyclops was right all along.

 

[Byakuya769]

Pm announcement... Intriguing. That mean we shouldn't discuss the contents in the thread once received, Dy?

This is actually pretty interesting read, especially with the way they used church pastors to push lonas

There are levels to this shit, yall

 

[DY_nasty]

Been in this military/civilian transition class for the past week and... These guys really reaffirmed how fucking set I am compared to most. My job has taught me so much when it comes to just people in general. I'm truly, truly well spoken.

Got it.

 

[akira28]

Ask her to do a guest spot on So Well Spoken. She does a regular podcast, like regularly. On time.

 

[Silky]

I'll keep an eye out for my PM.

 

[Slayven]

Introduce her to the podcast, I don't think we bad mouthed her so it's cool.

When we going to do another one?

 

[BlackJace]

Jesus Christ, my barber nicked the fuck out of me.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I'll send you a pm in a bit.

[Nakazato]

Jesus Christ, my barber nicked the fuck out of me.

Hope u didn't pay.

 

[BlackJace]

Hope u didn't pay.

I told him I wasn't happy about it and he told me "Next time it'll be free". I was like "There won't be a next time bruh", and then he offered to just charge half. I was still pissed, but my friend offered to just slide him the nine dollars at that point.

Dude's been off his game for awhile now, probably won't be stepping to him anymore.

 

[Retro_]

I want a PM

 

[sooperkool]

I know i don't comment much but definitely hit me off too, DY.

 

[Slayven]

I'll send you a pm in a bit.

Show me the receipts.

 

[Slayven]

I hate that "It isn't a black issue, it is a poverty issue" folks. every thread. I swear

 

[cdyhybrid]

I dunno if I could ever choose between Magneto and Xavier's powers.

Do you really want to be exposed to the shit in people's heads?

 

[Slayven]

X's power is great if you want to be a degenerate. But the shit those dudes are prepossessing requires way to much micromanagement. Mags just needs to flex one good time.

 

[Byakuya769]

I'd take mag's powers.. too nosey to not get in everyone's heads.

 

[Boss Riovane]

So DY where's the PM?

And Magnetos powers would be to dangerous for anyone. Its the little shit. How much metal is in the human body. How much metal we carry on ourselves at one time?

Xavier would be good for someone in intelligence or some law enforcement though. But Mags for everything else.

 

[DominoKid]

i'd take Magneto's powers easily. i'm not all that bothered about getting in people's heads.

 

[J10]

I'd rather be in people's heads once in a while without them knowing than be a target forever.

I would appear in Time Square and make every radio in the city start blasting the Monstar's theme from Space Jam.

 

[BlackJace]

Xavier's power is too tempting. An excess of knowledge isn't always the best thing.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Do you really want to be exposed to the shit in people's heads?

Well, he can choose to read their minds or not, but...

X's power is great if you want to be a degenerate. But the shit those dudes are prepossessing requires way to much micromanagement. Mags just needs to flex one good time.

the temptation might be too great. Don't know if I could trust myself with that kind of power. Plus, I'm not the type to form some crazy convoluted plan to keep my powers hidden either.

Plus, there's something appealing about Magneto's power. The raw, primal power of controlling nature/reality. Xavier's power would probably sap any enjoyment I got out of life, since even if I could prevent myself from manipulating people, just knowing how easily that genuineness could be removed would be disheartening. I'd probably be prone to developing paranoia if I refused to use it constantly too, which is a possibility I can avoid if I never have the opportunity to read minds.

I'd probably take Magento's power and try to use it for good, and if the world wanted to try and take me out because I presented a threat regardless of the fact that I'm doing good deeds, I'd become the Magneto from the comics and fight to defend my (new) species.
