The Eternal Thread: Poh-TET-oh, Poh-taw-toh!

[Kannap]

My friend came down into the lobby earlier and didn't know what Sims was so when she saw me in the sim creator she exclaimed, "Kannap's making his man."

Sims 4?

Sims 3

[The Serbian Empire]

You would think people have learned better not to take the internet seriously, out of all places.

Hate comes in all places,

(Not defending the adl here in this case, but if it is symbol of hate where it is used doesn't matter).

One can also find love in all kinds of places.

Meanwhile, pissed because I forgot I need to save every few turns in Civ 5 to keep it from crashing, made a lot of progress just for it to crash and lose it all.

Running around and finding the positives in everything doesn't get views, sadly.

[Hurdergaryp]

She may not have been entirely wrong, of course.

But it was funny that she didn't know that was what Sims was.

Believe it or not, but not everyone is a gamer.

It simply doesn't pay the bills for journalists.

Fueling the fires of the fear factory, however, is very profitable.

So profitable that Fox News still exists.

Fox News Network is to real news what fantasy football is to professional sports.

Fox News Network is to real news what fantasy football is to professional sports.

That's being mean to fantasy sports to compare them to Fox News. As in Murdoch's joint is a vastly less professional rank.

But Sims is such a huge thing that I thought everybody knew who it was.

Oh certainly. But I could put pictures of Fluttershy up with her saying "GAS THE JEWS! RACE WAR NOW!" and spam them all over the place, doesn't mean that Fluttershy is the problem.

I would have to look at what the adl said to make an intelligent comment on it.

That makes me want to go and reticulate some splines.

I would advise against looking in the bathroom of the port authority bus terminal

Sims 4?

Sims 3

Damn right. Much love to 2, but it doesn't have the open world or the neighborhood progression, and 4 is aesthetically unappealing and takes away the open world.

Oh well

Don't you need a medical degree to do that?

Wait.. what?

You'd think that with this "Highlights/Game Of The Play" function that Overwatch has, Blizzard would've implemented right away a way, to turn them into video files that can be moved around.

Well that was a quick read, kinda light too, and not in a good way

This is the paragraph that makes the point.


“Once again, racists and haters have taken a popular Internet meme and twisted it for their own purposes of spreading bigotry and harassing users,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “These anti-Semites have no shame. They are abusing the image of a cartoon character, one that might at first seem appealing, to harass and spread hatred on social media.”


Yeah, I am not sure that stands up to logical scrutiny. Some uses are not all uses. The swastika sure, maybe pepe with the the hitler mustache, but all pepe... I am not seeing valid based on this.

Edit: it appears they are just attacking the alt-right in general.

Which was what spurred my reaction. I can totally get calling the Swas a hate symbol. There just aren't any other legitimate uses beyond parody ala Mel Brooks. But this just screams of youthful hyper-reactionism as opposed to a measured ethical stance.

Youthful hyper-reactionism often is a very ugly thing and should be dealt with most harshly.
