Why does Gabrielle Union play the same character in every movie?
Smantha Bee is becoming my favorite Talk Show host.

Well the xbone was supposed to be mandatory online and no used games. The industry corrected that in response to consumer response. Markets react to dollars. Always have and always will. Just because I do not like something, doesn't mean it needs to be regulated. There are safeguards that prevent kids from buying loot boxes. Parents should use them. Whales and other individuals that are addicted to spending on frivolous things are issues that aren't going away. I recall speedy blue dude proudly stating how much he had spent on Halo loot boxes.
The day I have to buy loot boxes to enjoy a game, is the day I do not buy that game. And if that is what gaming becomes, fuck it. Gaming can burn
Fuck, when it's all in one place...

Same reason football lags behind basketball in the cities. No green space or little of it. When i was in Philly, our playground was on the roof. Right next to a community college. Right next to row homes. 10 blocks from grass. Yeah, you can play in the streets but you can hoop anywhere.
You can hoop in your driveway or any paved surface.
I'm glad soccer is improving but soccer faces the same issues that baseball and football faced.

Mmhm them shits be bangin. I sometimes go to the one by my job before I go in to work. Why do only old white people be going in those places in the morning?
Morning kin.
Man I don't get that. Over here and a lot of places around the world it is the poor mans sport. The only thing poorer would be to go home and do nothing but even here in Sweden I can see how they are regulating that away. Started in the middle of the 90s when they forced regulation to be include exactly what sort of shins you had to wear and those were expensive. Thankfully tons of companies didn't mind sponsoring the kids and the state giving grants to inner city kids that didn't have that luxury of being sponsored to make things cheaper. That is gone now.
But still outside of the western world I see tons of hungry kids giving it their all with as little as possible. Why I'm laughing my ass off at people here in Europe complaining that there are so many foreigners in their teams...well your kids aren't hungry enough. That easy.
That's expensive. That recent? I know I paid around €20 in the 80s plus whatever the gear cost.
Also if you can afford it do not be afraid to give some money to these youth groups. Help them pay for stuff that is needed. If you can get friends to help out a little as well it might actually become a substantial sum. Heck if you have the slicks for it gamble a bit. Talk to the local companies and see if they won't mind sponsoring a bit. Have the company I work for sponsor multiple girls sports team. Getting that goodwill is priceless. Getting new young talent to hear about us and have us as their first choice for interning in and often a wish to stay after school is just a cause of that goodwill.
I give money to my local horse riding school. The girls there had more balls than the adults and decided to invite the girls from the refugee housing the first day and now I see girls riding around with blond hair and girls in hijabs riding around as well. Learning how to take care of a creature and building a backbone. Horses can be intimidating when large and just wanna play. Plus Jandro poops are large and smelly.

Shame is they can lay low for like a year and get behind the camera or produce until the heat is off. Their access to projects from "friends" is what will block em up for a bit during restructuring. Their fans are desperate to forget about this already.
Yup.

Oh, cool. It's about butterflies- *Watches synopsis video* .................... I think I'm going to start going back to church.
Honestly my best friend, her fam, and I are the only black peeps I personally know that eat there. Weird.
Good morning, and that's awesome of you. I wish we had those kinds of programs in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure we even have a BSA troop or 4H club anymore.
Hello, and thanks for the heads up!
I keep thinking about what would happen if the US put into Soccer what it puts into basketball and football in terms of money and culture. With basketball and gridiron football in the US, the public school system pretty much supports you through high school, and if you're good enough, college. All that money in those and other sports has produced so many of the world's top athletes. But American sports culture is actually pretty isolated when you think about it. Our main sport is a sport nobody else really plays. I guess basketball has been spreading from the US to other parts of the world, same with baseball. And Hockey is pretty much mainly played between the US, Canada, and Northern European countries.
If the US actually did really get into Soccer the same way -- a sport basically everyone else plays, that could really change its position in global sports culture if you ask me.

That's straight up a money shot angle
Mid 2000s. I may be miss remembering might have been $200 total but I do remember I quit because the uniform and fees were extensive. One of the reason why was because of minimal funding in the area I grew up in. Almost every parent was working minimum wage so there really isn't much local support.
My brother is in it now and it looks like they are able to get more funding than they used to. The local FOX network gives the org some money and they get to put their channel ad on the jersey.

My prediction:
Ben Affleck will lay low for about 5 years, tops. He won't do The Batman or anything, just chill. In a few years, he'll get some amazing indie script, put it together on his own dime, and in that five years, return to the scene. Cannes nod, Golden Globes, story about new sober Ben, maybe marry that girlfriend.

She's a pocket sized human, for sure.
That sounds about right for the directors redemption playbook.

I knew Victorious and iCarly had some moments of adult humor, but this stuff is just unsettling.
If we ever, uhh, learn "more" one day, certainly can't say I'd be surprised. Actually even before this thread, I always thought that Victorious was definitely pushing it when I was still a teen.
Sorry if this has been posted in the past. But i just came across this on my net travels.
It's a video about the Equal Justice initiative's plan to build a memorial to the victims of lynching in the U.S.
And here's a more information on their site.
And on a lighter note.
Watch this. It's the best one man band vid, you'll ever see.

Yep. It's really tiresome.
Because loot boxes are one arm bandits (Slot machines) which is gambling. And should be held to the same regulations.
Yeah. After that he could go fuck himself.

Welcome Midde.
I have one "person" to add to the don't trust list. Malyse. Don't ask to much just take my word for it.
Due to the culture in the states I'm certain you could produce fine athletes no matter the sport. Heck, look at your women in soccer. Aces just aces.
Btw Football and basketball have their place all over the world. Saw a lot of Asian teams in the international Cup in Uppsala a few years back. Also we have EFAF here. Haven't really bothered since I stopped following most of the sports but a friend works there and according to him they get more teams trying to qualify every year now.
That's expensive.
Good on the local FOX network and that's what we do. We pay for the gear and plaster our logo over it.
Sounds about right.
Also wasn't Affleck the dude to tried to hide the fact that his ancestors where slave owners?

So was it the cursing that did Rose in? Because this is news worthy and I can imagine one orange fucker that shouldn't be allowed any form of communications. No matter how "news worthy" it is.
Must be someone that likes Affleck to much.

Or he can run for president in the Republican Party. Instant reset button for half the US.
Is anyone surprised? No.
Not saying we shouldn't be pissed but it's not like there are countless reports of similar things and all China say is "ooops", if even.

Mel Gibson made the most popular rated R movie of all time.
I have so much to say but I do have a small, small, small speck of decency left so I'll just start wishing for a falling star to land on him.
