I played Hunter in D1 and play a Titan in D2

My favorite flavor of crayon is forest green
I’m trying to level all my characters up. I used to never do that but now I realize if you only play one character you literally run out of shit to do by like.... Thursday after the Tuesday reset
 
Wait a minute Sara, I've blasted my wife into a contented level of sleep on more than one occasion, probably why she married me, I can't come up with any other explanation.

I'm starting to be concerned that you haven't been serviced properly. I have a brother.
I think you need re read what I wrote and figure it out on your own
 
Would you be a doll and write up a transcript for those of us who can't stand to watch?

Thank you, much appreciated, cheers.
Thanks for the homework assignment, Professor

Video starts with group of drunks holding a black man down on the ground while people shout to let him go. A dog barks in the background. While the group holds the black man down they shout at the people recording to leave and stop recording.

Video ends and goes to a new video. Black man is no longer being held on the ground and the two groups are now apart. The "lynching" group claims the other group invaded them. Fat dude who is clearly intoxicated keeps shouting "You stupid Liberal fucks" and tells the other group to leave which they do. Lady from "lynching" group comes up to the other group and says "you are so amazing" while fat dude continues shout obscenities in the background. Video cuts out before the lady finishes her sentence.

New video starts. Same lady from before is now shouting "You are worst than the police" so I guess she doesn't think they are so amazing anymore. Fat dude is now calling black dude a nappy headed bitch. Black dude starts goading fat dude to say the N-word. Drunk dude keeps repeating "You happy with your 5 white friends". His lovely drunk friends keep flipping off the camera.

At this point we are only a bit over 2 mins into this 8 min video and I can't do this anymore. I don't want to waste my brain cells watching 6 more minutes of this shit.

I take long extended breaks then play catch up for a month or two before taking another break

Currently in one of those breaks, will probably come back after the Dota 2 battle pass ends
 
you guys see this (forgive me if it's been shared already).



full video(s)


wish there was more to see. we're only able to see the aftermath. they keep blaming the black dude for starting it. still, fuck those fat motherfuckers.

They look and sound like a bunch of dumb hicks.. but I don't see where "being lynched" comes into play. I don't see a rope and they certainly aren't going to hang anyone from that tiny tree.
 
That's how the system works. If you constantly earmark stuff for your constituents, the fact that you voted for a smaller budget makes no difference, you are perpetuating the system. People will reelect you for your earmarking. A moratorium on earmarking so that in the next election that's off the table as a reason for reelection is a more effective move against pork barrel politics, and if you actually are in favour of changing the system, stopping the pork barrelling or reducing the budget, it makes no sense not to support the moratorium.
It does make sense when a transparent alternative does not exist. let’s use Trump as an example. If nothing got earmarked and the executive was given full discretion on spending, would you trust the trump administration to spend it wisely or ethically? I’m all for massive reform on this issue, but simply removing earmarking is not a solution, it’ just creates another problem.

According to the victim's own words about what happened they were shouting "get the rope"

Its not on the video recording, though
 
They are though.

Street gangs have been studied and one of the things they have in common is: urban poverty, racial/ethnic isolation (aka, systemic racism in the US), economic marginalization.

This awesome book went in depth into all of these things and even took a global view on it (spoiler alert: gangs in Brazil and in Asia have these characteristics too)

Since you won't read it, here's the author giving an extremely quick rundown:


Thank god we have an expert like you around here for these topics. Can’t thank you enough.
 
I don't think there are very many writers in American history who understood the human condition better than Hemingway.
I don't know if there's a writer who understands the human condition better than Hunter S Thompson
 
Man... that nap got out of fucking hand but my Docs finally came in and fuck they're glorious. Along with a new copy of Homage to Catalonia. A great book by Orwell about his time in a militia with socialists, communists, and anarchists when he decided all he wanted to do in life was kill a fascist. Funny thing about the Right Wing outrage about the statues.. Like a decade ago they threw a fit and ordered statues honoring the International Brigade to be removed.. but moral consistency is a bit much to ask from some people.. and that's that even pointing our their concerning comparisons of people like Nathan Bedford Forrest, Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis to MLK lol.

Also listening to Killer Mike earlier got me thinking to all the good things to come out of Atlanta, which of course made me think about the fine work Sherman did there and started rereading his correspondence with the mayor of Atlanta and General Hood.

Which now has me wanting to seek out books about the history of American Abolitionism, General Sherman in particular, and Anti-Confederate resistance in the south. Pepe Llula is perhaps one of my favorite characters in the history of New Orleans, and besides being perhaps the best duelist the US ever saw, he was staunchly anti-confederacy.

Sherman is my fave figure from that era and i almost always enjoy reading a d watching things about him. Lost a sweet biography about the man when my house burned down im still sad about. Him and grant finally put an end to that nightmare. We should put statues of him all over the south

Awww, I thought we had a moment. We didn't have a moment?

I think you're moist right now, and that makes me happy.
 
It reminds me of my Destiny clan in a way with how.... off the wall we can be.

I've been off Destiny for almost a year now, but When I Come Around again, I'll let you know. Started from year one of the first game and got addicted. Wife was Uptight about it but She settled down. With my job, I can't put in the grind like I used to. I was borderline Insomniac.

Oh, and Titan bros for life, Chump.

Haha, I appreciate the old college try. That the would-be victim was goading them on to say the N word does make it look worse for him, though.

I think they just should have renamed the states. Shermabama, South Shermalina, Missishermi, Louisisherma. Georgia just gets changed to Dale, because why not.

There’s got to be a better term than systemic racism then if this theory also explains white American street gangs. Just spitballing as someone who hasn’t read the book but is interested.
