Its my privilege to do anything I can to diminish a black person's accomplishments.

I think he was talking about my Hillary avatar.

What you just earned was given to you by Soygen and Quaid to keep you around. Acknowledge the privilege they gave you.

What an embarrassing display. Khane asked for an explanation. Was given one. Reacted like a child when he got an in-depth explanation instead of a platitude, then threatened to quit the forum. Multiple people declare him the "winner" so he will stay.

What?

I just look at the statement "you are a success due to [some] factors beyond your control" to just be vacuous. You could say the opposite, "you weren't a success due to [some] factors beyond your control". What does it even mean outside of some people's attempts to diminish accomplishments? If...

Are you a child? You are the one posting all over the place and seem upset. If you don't like me saying I'm proud of my accomplishments, well get over it.

We are proud of our accomplishments. If anyone is being an immature child here, it is you that keeps trying to say we are abunch of sensitives because we don't like people directly trying to diminish our accomplishments.

It is because not remotely everything went my way. I had plenty of hardships in life that I worked past. So yeah, when you come up and say "You are so lucky!" that is exactly what you did. It is also as vacuous as some religious person saying I was blessed by God. Get the fuck out with that...

Nah bro, I'm "privileged" enough to not have to teach for the next 3 months.

Wow, didn't realize a_skeleton_02 was attacking me in his safe space.Thanks for defending me Frenzied! *secret jew handshake* Judaism and Islam are absolutely as batshit crazy in their core beliefs. In fact, the old testament is actually crazier than the Koran. However, the majority of Jews...

I'm not seeing where Cad said he got through school on a full ride. Certainly that post you quoted doesn't say that.

Khane, do you think that maybe your attitude towards college (that its basically worthless, or at least that seems to have been your opinion in other threads) might feed into your belief in privilege? Virtually anyone has the options available to them to go to college. Even people that had a...

Maybe its a cultural thing. No family member or friend has ever came up to me and said "Man, you sure were lucky to have gotten your PhD!" and if they did I would be fucking irritated. No bro, it didn't just magically happen to me, I had to work for a really long time on it. It diminishes the...

Stop trolling dude. You aren't just "asking questions", you are asking loaded questions to get reactions. If you have some legitimate input, then please add to the discussion rather than complaining we are putting words in your mouth as you dart around playing games.

The local news channels here in St. Louis have done some pretty eye-opening episodes on the school that Michael Brown went to. They followed an "honors student" around for one day and basically nothing was happening in any of the person's classes. It wasn't a waste of time like I thought of high...

None of that is stuff we can really do though. How do you change the culture to value education? How do you hold schools accountable? I mean, you can't close down every single school and ship them to the better schools, then those schools get worse. You have to fix the school before you can...

High schools definitely aren't equal and the students that "graduate" from the bad ones and go on to college don't suddenly do better or learn study habits along the way. In fact, they tend to have severe problems. There is so little we can do about it, it really leads me to despair...

He was living off government assistance while gaming fulltime and being an utterly insufferable ass about how "hardcore" he was at gaming while everyone else had to mix their gaming with their job. I really don't think him having his own apartment vs living at home was the core of the issue.

Lots of great shit this episode: Lady Mormont Glovers going off Jamie vs Blackfish Bronn! Sandor back Cersei vs QoT Margaery scheming Theon maybe waking up

Favorite episode this season.

Respectfully, I think you misunderstood my concerns. I was thinking something like: 350-400 : Small fat 400-450 : Okay, starting to have a problem 450-500 : Large fat 500+ : Obese

Really liking prophecies. Adds some spice to maps. Just did a beyond map that was infested with frogs, while there fulfilled a prophecy on killing the boss (dropped a rare map) and on killing an exile (that dropped all rare loot). Loot explosions everywhere

The 350 plus category is discriminating. For example, I am in that category but what in the community we call a "small fat". However, that just 350+ category doesn't let me differentiate myself from "large fats" that are really obese and have problems. Could a mod please fix this so I can...

What is unbelievable is that you don't see this as a sign of how off the rails you are.

"A ton more information before coming to a conclusion"... About the moon landing... Did this idiot ever read a fucking history book while in school? Yet he went to college and got a degree? Amazing.

It isn't an assumption. It is an inference after seeing your actions for years. If Zimmerman had been a woman, you would have either ignored it or claimed that Trayvon was probably the aggressor.

My favorite Tanoomba conversations (at least as far as showing how off the rails he has become) were the Erronius and Chaos attempts to reach out to him. They both really tried to find common ground with him, to see where he was coming from, and dude just kept getting more and more deranged.

Tanoomba's "defense" of his position on the moon landing is that he just simply isn't willing to go out on a limb and take a position on it. Calls someone else a coward. Seriously, is there anything more intellectually cowardly than being scared to take a fucking position on the Moon...

You are surprised because you are a monumental fuckwad. Let me explain it to you. You offend me. Your shitty posts offend me. Your denial of the moon landing offends me. You thinking 9/11 was faked offends me. There is no problem with being offended or offended against. The problem would be...

I will not rape Tanoomba.

I think there is a serious overcorrection problem with feminism and yes, they have a motivation to find it everywhere. Queue Anita Sarkeesian "everything is sexist, blah blah". For example, in the hiring that I am involved in right now, we had to send our list of candidates to get approved by...

Promoting on socializing and empathizing could make sense in many professions. Again, equal opportunity for equal aptitude. However, if its in a job where those don't really matter or become the sole criteria, then that is wrong. I'm not going to defend lowering standards in general. If those...

I don't think we are at full equal opportunity for equal aptitude. I think for the most part we are, and the imbalance is very often on both sides. It also depends on what part of the country you are from as far as how much social pressure you feel to conform to gender roles for jobs...

Endgame for feminism is when we have equal opportunity for equal aptitude and we aren't having social pressures push people out of things they are interested in based on their sex.

WTF is this.

I almost reported that post myself, but actually didn't think the mods would do anything. Good job Noodle.

So had been wondering through all my playthroughs why getting invaded was so rare. Only places it ever happens consistently is road of sacrifices, after pontiff and lothric castle (I play 100% embered). Well, finally decided to do some invasions. Went to Cathedral of the Deep, level appropriate...

I don't think Cleganebowl is happening this season. We are already too far in the season without getting much of either of them. I think it will end up being a cliffhanger for the coming season or the earliest nearly the end of the season. Need at least a couple episodes setting up the Hound...

This seems the most probable.
