Yo, I was watching Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair the other day and not only did I get a bit more info and viewpoints about black hair in America, I discovered that he shot one of his scenes literally down the street from my house. Chris Rock was down the street from my house while I was probably playing video games or reading a book. That's crazy!

From the article in the OP:



I think this is a very good little summary of why I was quietly angry at a white coworker who was traveling to several impoverished African countries (one to visit her equally naive brother who's a dumb volunteer there, others as part of a full-fledged summer trip). She returned with an obvious tone of disappointed that it wasn't the "life experience" she was expecting, but rather saw an unfavorably different culture and unpleasant crushing poverty. She commented on the "weirdness" she saw on the sides of roads that she couldn't comprehend, people who glared with an air of unfriendliness, and not feeling safe enough to venture around at night.

Idiot has probably not spent a second of her life realizing that much of Africa did not become that way on its own, that her brother is a patronizing cunt wasting his time and that it's not some place you go to for a cute life-affirming summer vacation. I would never take the trip she did for the same reason I wouldn't spend a weekend in Hunts Point, Mott Haven, Brownsville and East NY... like that shit is normal and this is how brown people live and OMG it's gonna be so much fun to ogle and mingle a bit with poor-but-happy wretches. Does this make sense? It's hard to put into words how belittling and stupid this is.

Its amazing how many people don't understand this is what life in Ghana and all over the continent is like. Its a struggle, same as in any city in the world. Granted, I'm talking from a place of privilege so I don't bear the full brunt of economic hardship but anyone expecting happy go lucky africans is in for a serious surprise...if they're being nice to you, best watch your pocket, better safe than sorry.

Not even getting Immortal swole can help you hold that L this late in the game

Yeah, I decided to take a shower and think about it and I'm having strong second thoughts.

Dunno if I can afford to spend $200 just for one game with a Vegas trip coming up next month and some other expenditures down the line later this year.

I'd just pick up an old ass PSP and the game, but I called around to a bunch of Gamestops and no one even carries that shit anymore.

I would order it off Amazon but I leave very early Monday morning, so even if I paid for 1 day shipping I still wouldn't get it in time.

Just typing this out made me depressed.



But i'm not fucking around.

Funniest thing to me was when I was talking to a friend in Florida (on the phone), and his wife brought in a note from the landlord. It gave the details of some suspect that might have been apart of a robbery. I started laughing and shook my head when I fit the description.

That vague shit was like, black man with hair. Lol

Craigslist feels really sketchy to me. Murders aside, I just don't know if i can trust the other person to sell me some shit that isn't broken.

That's why you meet somewhere mostly public and feel out the person. Usually the people who will let you come to their house to buy shit aren't going to sell you garbage either since you now know where they live. I got a 500 printer for 125 and a 200 ikea chair for 70. Craigslist rules.

Do the deals in public and bring a switchblade for protection if they try to cheat you.

I'm debating selling all of these games on CL to pre-order Destiny...

If you're buying a PSP make sure you have a big enough memory stick.

Yeah, I just don't want to deal with that.

There's a Gamestop nearby that has a PSP-3000. If I understand my internet reading correctly, I should be able to buy FFT: War of the Lions off of the Playstation Store via the PSP, right? Would it require any extra accessories or addons or anything?

I was wondering if anyone has dealt with long term depression and anxiety in this thread?
how do you bring this shit up in a serious manner but spare other peoples feelings in the process ?
Click to expand...

Apparently, I've had undiagnosed depression and anxiety for 19 years. I just got hit with that diagnosis war vets get after returning to the states in April. It caused an involuntary vacation from a certain university in the DMV which I am appealing at this very moment. It's hard to do anything when these illnesses kick in. Alpha Brain helps a bit but honestly it's weird dealing with this. Looking back I can honestly say I needed help earlier like immediately after enrolling in college but was too scared to get it. That's another post for another day.

Like I said, it's time to move and go on a voluntary vacation somewhere else. I'd try Canada but obtaining citizenship is difficult. But, but, but, free health care is great. How's the racism and job market out there?

If I was a mod and tired of race threads I'd so merge "black people distrust cops because of daddy issues" reporter thread with that "nypd kills dude" thread.

Any single ladies in the office? Considering your stories I might have a shot.

Almost all of them are single divorcees, 55+ year olds. Almost all. That's about your age right?

Serious question here: how many of them married one of their first sexual/romantic partners.
Click to expand...

Dunno. I've spoken candidly to a handful of them (we're a small office, it doesn't represent everyone, etc) but two of them did - both were cheated on, lost a ton of their sensible money they saved after they had kids with them, etc.

One of those huge dudes spawned randomly when me and a friend were fucking around on our speeders. Motherfucker kept eating our bullets, had no weapons that could sap that shield. I wonder if we can even kill it?
