Our police won't fuck with Pakistani muslims, but black people are afforded no such concession. Same ol' stop-and-search disparities, same ol' disproportionate conviction rates.

What the hell are you talking about? They fuck with Muslims even harder than black people. You really think the british police are somehow intimated by a bunch of Pakistani Muslims? The whole Rotherham case was about the police not giving a fuck about those girls who come from the underclass than them being scared of Muslims.

No, it clearly wasn't, and as much has been openly stated in the reports on the case.

You're right that the victims were treated like shit because of their class, but you're flat out wrong if you think that's all there was to it. I can't really understand why we're having this conversation when I know that you know what was happening because you've been following the news.

Hey, perhaps take it down a notch? Personal anecdotes are always going to be subject to bias. Before and especially after 9/11 a lot of Muslims living in the US were treated like shit, but even so I wouldn't want to play the "who had it worse" game. From what I understand in the UK, there is reluctance in least in politics if not also law enforcement, to interfere with things like Sharia law. My point is there are multiple levels to this, at least from my limited perspective.

So many things fall under the genre of 'electronic', it's a great supergenre for me. Here's a selection of my favourites at the moment.

Pure chip | Try track 10
Futuresynth (apparently a genre based around stuff like Kavinsky) | Try track 2
DY pointed me at this thanks friend
Slow-build chiptune dubstep ??? | Try track 1 or check out his other albums
Harmonious, fast-moving soundscapes | Try track 3
Fast, vaguely chippy electronic | Try track 1
The kind of delicious arpeggios that remind me why I started listening to chiptune, mixed with nice builds/breaks | Try track 3

There's also this if you're not feeling too electronic right at the moment:
Mellow soft-rock(?) with a little bit of bleep | Try track 2, 3

Hope you find something you like.

Awesome recommendation list by the way. Went through all these (knew kozilek and perturbator already) and still found a lot of gems. Thanks for posting it.

In the 7 years I've posted here, it was never close to this dead. It'd still be about a page a day about Offseason moves and players acting a fool. Fiba is also happening right now.

I'm still not 100% sure what the benefits of having those figures are, they say you get in-game bonuses?

The thing that made me laugh was, "it tracks your stats and saves your gameplay data"....you mean like a save file? why bring a shitty little figure into this? If I was in grade school I could see this that as being cool, trading and whatnot, but why are so many adults(?) on this forum flipping their shit over them?

Something tells me it has something to do with the fact that those with autism/aspergers can obsess on hobbies and generally love collecting things for the sake of collecting

He was in the move for the last 2 mins. Nothing really big but it was weird as hell

Only reason I know it was because I had to watch all the madeas last holiday with family. Do you know what type of damage that can do to the mind?
