I feel like he isn't really doing any advanced airbending. To me it looks like when he fights he is using airbending to punctuate his martial arts with forceful but basic airbending.

yeah that makes sense. In that case he's just bodying people based on his martial arts prowess which I can accept.

This Total Laughter shit was a letdown. I am disappointed in this show.

Daylyt stole the show, literally.

Judges gave it to Mook but I got Lux 2-1.

Judges gave it to Hollow but I got Joe 2-1.

I'm wondering if they gave it to Hollow because he was working for free. Joe clearly bested him.

So, we all watch porn. Well, most of us.

And you know how every so often, every few months or so, you kinda have to rotate out your collection? Add some new vids, get rid of some old ones, because the old stuff just isn't getting you going like it used to?

But you have that one video that's special. It may be old as shit, compressed as all fuck, and really kind of vanilla compared to the stuff you like now, but you keep it. Because something about it is special to you. Maybe it's that first porn tape that you found and stole from your uncle's house. Maybe it's the first video you downloaded from Napster, and it took 4 hours to download 5 minutes of grainy pleasure on a 56k connection. You keep it, because something about it gets you going like the very first time, every time you watch it.

Well, for me, watching George Zimmerman's life get steadily shittier is that video. I will never tire of it. It is the best porn.

And lets be honest they just did for the 4 elements trope.

I think they gave it to him because of Joe's last round. There's no way an objective person gives Hollow that battle. Hollow talked all this smack about bias judges only to have Star of all people show up. Star is a part of this culture. Of course he gave it to Hollow because he had longstanding issues with Joe.

Hollow took an L and the argument that rap artists can't battle rap is now over. It's clear that rap artists can battle on the same level and win. Crooked I's argument that they (rap artists) can do what battle rappers do but battle rappers cannot do what rap artists do is now true.

Speaking of porn, you know when this shit got out of hand right? The second swift allowed users to download from porn sites. I wouldn't know anything about that but sources tell me that this is possible. People are walking around with mobile fap kits now. Don't let them come out with launchpads for iPhones or our kids futures are doomed on some Japan (no shots) shit.

That shit worked out too well for them, so convienent. You got a crime group that can bend each element except air, and that one dude who can't bend ends up getting airbending, plus he knew everything about airbending in the first place.

I didn't know about Star's issues with Joe, but still it makes no sense how they gave the whole battle to Hollow. I could understand giving him the third round, but not that whole thing. Hollow got bodied. And even with Joe putting down the mic, his third was still better than Hollow's third.

Rap Artists vs Battle Rappers is far from answered. Very few very specific Rap Artists can actually battle and those are the dudes whose strongest songs are basically cypher verses anyways. Dudes like Slaughterhouse, Horseshoe Gang, etc.. spend most of their time writing bars, not writing actual songs.. so they're really not far off from being Battle Rappers themselves. Take dudes like Jay, Common, Cube, Nas, Snoop, etc.. and throw them in a battle and they'll have more filler than anything else.

As far as giving the battle to Hollow based on Joe's choke.. that's something that is actually remnant of older battle culture from the freestyling days. If you choked, you were done. Doesn't matter if you were roasting the dude before that. Is that a fair way to judge the current battles? Hard to say. In a way, it isn't because that's not how most people judge today's battles but at the same time, these dudes aren't freestyling anymore so choking should be considered pretty major. I mean imagine going to a concert and the artist forgets half his lyrics and cuts songs off in the middle because of it. Shit wouldn't fly.

What's the point of having 3 rounds if one round can cost you the whole thing? The decision was wrong.

Rounds is just something that grew out of battling from it's earliest days. Going back and forth until somebody chokes basically. In Freestyle battles it allowed MC's to rebuttal and it was just carried over to the written era. But if you watch some of the earlier Grindtime stuff, you'll see a lot of battles where the judges voted the other way when a guy choked even once. It's only more recently that people have been giving chokes a pass if they recover and the rest of the material is hot enough.

One thing I like about Avatar they show that technology and science can progress and thrive in a world where people have magical powers. Something 99% of other fiction is to lazy to do.

One of the reasons I really enjoyed the last ep, the metal city looks awesome. It's something I liked back in TLA too, the airships and other shit that the fire nation made were cool.

Story time I guess

I don't even know where to start with this shit. So my sister been having problems with her baby daddy. 3 years ago dude does some dumb shit with his friends and get his ass put in prison. His sentence was 3 years and he came out of prison this spring. During the beginning of his sentence they break up. Basically he wants her back but my sister moved on and was seeing another guy. He starts stalking the guy she was seeing Instagram page (he had to friend the guy since his instagram page is private, afaik) and notices a picture of her son and the dude with the caption that says “that's my boy”. He gets mad and sends my sister angry texts about “don't let me son be around this nigga” and then starts threatening her with physical violence and threatening to take the boy. Naturally my sister is keeping this guy at arms length and not happy with this situation at all but doesn't know what to do about.

He comes over today to my mother’s house unannounced to take his son to the park but my sister isn't there. My mom pulls him to the side and talks to him about what he's doing and why it's wrong and a stern “yo moms!” like manner. So this seems like enough drama already but here is where shit gets interesting. My cousins and aunt actually jumps to the guys defense. They start saying like my sister has a mouth, we don't know what she said to him, he don't mean what he said anyway, and it's not fair that he can't take his kid to the park etc. They even start arguing with my mom saying she's wrong for talking to him the way she is. They even said that he’s just in telling her who she can’t and can have their son around. My aunt drops this little jewel "I know where he coming from if I had a chair and I see someone else sitting in it imma feel a way about."

So guys idk wtf to do about this shit at all and it’s really killing my vibe right now.

He definitely lost the ability to have a relationship with her. He went to jail and is threatening her? He on probation? She might really fuck his whole life up. They won't think twice of putting him back in.

As far as him having a relationship with the child, I would want every man to have that but he's got to do it the right way. Mainly, not threatening other people and get his life in order. Now's not the time to be fucking up; if illegal immigrants can stand on the corner outside of home depot begging for work, then he has to ask himself what's truly important. He can go into a funk and blame everything except himself or get out there and hustle to make something for himself. That's cold ass logic but reality. Life is unfair for convicts. Sorry.

All this advice is assuming he did some terrible shit to get three years. I think I would modify it knowing what he did.

I would back my mom and tell the other folk to step aside. Like, 'don't come back to the house' type of shit. 'We ain't down with no fuck shit of you beating my sister' and the whole train goes full stop when he plays that. I would pull him aside and let him know that. From how you describe it, I have a smidge of sympathy for him but when you threaten a woman, it's out the door. Stop that yesterday. And threatening moms fucks up your dad privileges.

Then its a long long road to redemption. I can't tell you how long it takes but we have to see immediate improvement and he has to come correct. I would advise monitored visits at public locations but after you fully know he's not a threat. As a man, you talking to him may get that. I would advise your sister to document the threats, consider legal action if he doesn't correct himself like yesterday(restraints from the police, etc) and consider moving, changing cell phone numbers.

Did I mention he is fucking up? I just reread: he's threatening to take the kid? Who does that? As Chappele said 'We would have made orange juice out of dat nigga... They would have found a bloody glove... At OUR HOUSE.' I have no tolerance for the threats. He may not be serious but the potential for your sister and her son to end up on the evening news is too high. That's enough to just say fuck it, go to the police and get a restraining order and ask for charges on a guy who's probably on probation. But only you can tell us how he truly is. A lot of people would give no fucks and still put him behind bars and I wouldn't give a single fuck when you threaten a mom and her child. As guys, we have no good way of understanding the terror that comes with that. We naturally feel like we can handle that easily and it doesn't happen to us often. They get the kids through court and we don't have a great chance of dying. I just thought I saw on the news some dad killing the whole family, mom and grand mom. Actually, the more I write the more I want to just throw him back in jail. Stupid. Threats on text after getting out of jail?

my money is he ain't trying to step to a dude fresh out of jail and even though he's talking reckless he hasn't done anything yet

either way, you can't help people who don't want to be helped. family or not, throwing yourself into a lose/lose situation on top of not knowing everything is a guaranteed way to take an L

all i can say is to be patient.

I never understood when family doesn't stick together in a situation like this. The cat that just got out making threats....

just got out making threats....

I don't give a fuck, a mudhole would have been created in that ass. It would have been a family function from the ass beating. They would celebrate that shit like a family reunion every year.

Enough with the jokes though, the best you can do us wait it out, observe then react. The situation 9 times out of 10 will resolve itself.

So Im at work and im playing "Blame Game" by Kanye West and a white co-worker walks in during the Chris Rock skit and asks me if it's eminem. I tell her who it is and she goes "oh i dont like him but i like eminem".

I chuckled to myself and remember the conversation some of you were having yesterday. Eminem is a great rapper. Prolly my fav but im really getting tired of the "cant relate excuse from many whites. Especially when white culture is pretty much forced down everyones throats.

That San Andreas GAF thread should be stickied on the front page of GAF as a perpetual reminder of this shit.

I'm white and I can't relate to Eminem at all. There is really nothing that makes him more relatable to middle class white people over Kanye. Any white person who says they can't relate to a black rapper, but can relate to Eminem is an idiot who is probably afraid of black people.

And it is a stupid argument anyway because how often do you really relate to any given artist? Like I really relate to Axl Rose. We're both from Indiana and both white, but I don't relate to any GNR song, even though I love them. Maybe farmers relate to some Springsteen or Mellencamp shit. "Relating to it" is a weird way to judge media in general. I don't relate to The Wire. I love The Wire. I don't relate to The Sopranos. I love The Sopranos. I don't relate to Batman. I love Batman.

I definitely understand that. In my case I'm pretty fortunate with my immediate family being pretty unified after this shit that I'm currently involved in. But they are moments that I haven't spoken to members in a couple years because of inane squabbling.

So remember I was talking about that [REDACTED] pies I acquired....

Well I woke up and told my boy about it. He looked at me between bouts of Ultra and stated, "Your Charisma is gonna give you diabetes."

I haven't laughed this hard in a minute.


Edit: Sorry for double post...
