I’m not including the video find it yourself.

I’m only going to say this once to every single person trying to focus on the weeping White children and whatnot.

Fuck you and fuck your tears.

I do not give a tin shit if someone watches that, or…

I fucking loved that video and I really wish they did that sort of thing in my schools. Growing up in mostly white suburbs I really had no concept of racism outside of what was taught to us as “history.”

Men's forum sick of strong female characters in games →

If you want to see what is wrong with nerd culture, and specifically the enormous privilege enjoyed and expected by its male population, read this thread, or even just the first post (as it has gotten quite long now).  But if you’re not interested in throwing up in your mouth a little, maybe don’t read it.

You know, feminists, with stuff like this around I really wish you would spend more time worrying about misandry.

Quoth the OP:

“I am starting this thread because I see a new trend in the video/computer game world and that is the increase in strong playable female characters. 

Now, I am no hardcore gamer but I do play computer games often and the recent one I have been playing recently is Shogun 2 total war. Now for those who don’t know what this game is, it is a strategy game based on the military of feudal Japan. I recently bought an upgrade for the game the other day and guess what one of the strongest military units was? Nuns. I shit you not. The nuns had an attack 20% -40% higher than most units in the game. Somehow I doubt that in real life a nun would have swung a sword or used a spear faster and harder than a feudal warlord, and this game was based on history. 

I think I have the right to ask steam and other gaming companes: WTF with the subliminal brainwashing? What now when I buy or play a game women will be doing all the ass kicking? I seen some similiar patterns on the game advertisements on television and the internet recently and want to know if anyone else is seeing the pattern?

I call bullshit on this subject. Video games are the last place for guys to hang out and now women are taking over. Why not just save us the trouble and instead of eliminating our fantasy world just throw us in work camp to provide for thier bastard children (literally speaking) while they shit all over us…wait they already do that. 

End of rant.”

I bolded my favorite parts. Who ever heard of a historically-based video game taking liberties with its source material? Who??? And how about all these games where you can only play as women- wait, what? That doesn’t exist? He’s complaining because there was *an* option, singular, to have female units?

I guess you can’t expect much from the “Men Going Their Own Way Forums.” Seriously, that’s what it stands for. Precious.

Should try the penny-arcade forums. You can’t expect much in the way of enlightened gamers by seeking out male centric message boards.

I could not stop laughing at this.

In my head I was listening the 2001 Space Odyssey music here.

As a Muslim, I’m sick of people asking me how I feel about 9/11. What do you want me to say, seriously?

Do you want me to say, “It was a great plan, mwahahaha!” before I fly off on a magic carpet?

I was born and raised in this country and was just as shocked as everyone else to learn there were people on this earth so vile as to commit such a horrific attack - or to even think about doing it.

But I didn’t do it. Neither did 99.999999999 percent of the roughly 1.5 billion people in the world who also call themselves Muslims. So why should I or any other Muslim apologize for what happened?

Nickleback is planning on releasing another album. Should I ask white people to apologize for that?

Actually I think white people should apologize for Nickelback. Unlike the situation with the majority of muslims having no connection to the 911 attack. White people have generally encouraged and in fact supported the criminals that hide behind the Nickelback name.

Premise Twelve: 

There are no rich people in the world, and there are no poor people. There are just people. The rich may have lots of pieces of green paper that many pretend are worth something—or their presumed riches may be even more abstract: numbers on hard drives at banks—and the poor may not. These “rich” claim they own land, and the “poor” are often denied the right to make that same claim. A primary purpose of the police is to enforce the delusions of those with lots of pieces of green paper. Those without the green papers generally buy into these delusions almost as quickly and completely as those with. These delusions carry with them extreme consequences in the real world.

Ugh.

From what I’ve read of this from other tumblrs the image is slightly misleading. In the CEOs case he worked with prosecutors and plead out for a lower sentence to bring in those responsible who are serving much longer terms. 

That said the second case taken by itself is still a travesty.

Australians have their shit together, we start in February and end in December.

YES. WHY CAN’T THEY MAKE IT A NORMAL YEAR.

THIS! :D

That’s because Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere so that is their summer months. I’m not saying we shouldn’t change our system, but traditionally it was too hot in the summer and it was also the time when crops were harvested and families needed their kids to assist them. So it’s really pure happenstance that Australia’s system lines up with the end and start of the year.

I understand the people living on the East Coast being a bit flustered about everything. But there is absolutely no excuse for someone living in California to be preparing for this hurricane, unless you’re drunk. But other than that, no excuse.

This is both amazing, frightening, and insightful. I’m sure it’s too late but definitely let it keep going, see what happens.

My world is crashing down around me.
