EZEKIEL!!

He can be my king as Queen of the Favs. Call me Sean.

I like to imagine the "what happened to Sean" questions are all posted by Sean's cat Mitten making accounts when he leaves the house.

crj... CARLY RAE JEPSEN?????? IS THAT YOU?????

"He didn't really mean it" is maybe the least defensible position in why you would vote for someone that I've ever heard, even if it's only part of the justification. This does confirm many of my suspicions about why he won though. One of them being that Fox's decade long campaign about how we need a political outsider worked. Mike Pence is a horrible person who is just as scary as Donald Trump. My life is going to be worse, demonstrably, under a Trump presidency than under Obama or Clinton.

I did eventually go back and finish it, but the end of the game really soured the opinion I had of it, and even before that I was only lukewarm on the story. If you don't think the story is very interesting, bail and don't look back.

I didn't like Read Only Memories, and wish I had skipped it. My playthrough was 9 hours, but someone more competent than me would probably finish it in 8 or so?

I watched the 4 mini-movies of Gilmore Girls that went up this weekend and I have a lot of opinions!

Here's the problem: you keep keep saying racism and ignoring that I'm talking about systematic racism. I'm not talking about calling someone the n-word. I'm talking about how in the 60's black families were denied home loans because of redlining, denying the accumulated wealth of home ownership to another generation. That's the sort of shit I'm talking about. Racism isn't something one can grow out of, it's the systems that everyone in the US lives within, because our laws and our structures are built with the baked in purpose of denying humanity and resources to people of color. It's nice that you live in Japan. I can't speak to your experience. I can however speak about the country I see, live in, and read about all the time. I can't get over the fact that you're trying to come into a community and try to tone police me for not ingratiating me to you and scold me for not doing enough to win you over. You come into a space that is one of the few welcoming spaces I've found on the internet and ask why we don't want undocumented people deported. When I respond that there are costs and consequences too great for virtually no benefit, and with the factual observation that the rhetoric chosen to speak about deportation and undocumented immigrants is racially charged, you say "but what about the white people who aren't racists? don't they deserve to be pandered to? that's why donald trump won. it's all the liberals' fault." When I go into great detail to explain a fraction of the myriad of real reasons trump won, many of them systematic rather than individually racially based, you imply that all I care about is punishing white people for being white and ask me what I want done. When I talk about the real things I want solved and solutions for them, you ask for praise for not being racist anymore, and then call me patronising. Don't worry about me. I do plenty of self reflection. I think about my whiteness a lot. I'm happy in who I am, and the growth I've made in my life unpacking my racism and internalized misogyny, and that I work every day to be better than I was before. tbh I don't think I really want you on my side TokyoDan. Also please stop using super dehumanizing language like this. Human beings aren't objects to 'export' like a trade good. It's a bad look.

White people should educate themselves on systematic racism and generations of discrimination and how they benefit from a country that was built on the backs of forced unpaid Black labor and the lives of forceably removed and killed Native peoples. They should actively do works in life to advocate for people of color in situations where the social capital of being white allows our voices to be heard over the voices of people of color. White people should help educate other white people in their lives in how white privilege manifests itself in every aspect of life. I have at no point made any assumption about your race, and have exclusively spoken about people in the abstract or saying "our" in order to indicate that I am not unaware of the fact that I am white and therefore a part of the group doing the harming. I would like that we as white people work to level our economic inequality by instating things like blind hiring and admissions processes thereby removing passive barriers to economic development for people of color. I would like for increased resources be dedicated to first generation college students and for schools to be funded not off property taxes which just means that poor students of color go to schools with no access to the resources white kids get. I want white people to stop blocking bussing that would integrate schools. Individual white people are the not problem but the systems that reinforce economic & educational divides based on race. If you're going to keep pretending that I'm advocating for self flaggelation or bullying of white people for being white, I'm not going to engage with you anymore. The fact that you focused on that part rather than the rest of what I said makes me think that you're not actually interested in conversations about dismantling systematic racism.

I think the fact that white people are more interested in protecting the feelings of other white people by not calling them racist than looking at their own role and complicit participation in a system that props us up is the real problem. Honestly fuck white people who are offended by being called racist. It's not an inherent personal flaw, and it's something that our white supremacist culture actively instills and encourages in us and that we need to actively combat whenever possible. Trump won because people care about preserving a white majority identity. Trump won because of rampant and persistent gerrymandering by conservative states in this country based on the gutting of civil rights legislation by a court that was stocked by conservative presidents. Trump won because our electoral college was decided as a compromise and concession to slave holding states. Trump won because white people want to hear that it's PoC's fault the world isn't the one promised by their parents. Trump won because he won white men & white women & won people earning middle and upper tiers of wages. Trump won because of voter suppression by conservative state governments that restricted polling places, days, times, and required voter ID to systematically disenfranchise those for whom the barriers became too high to vote. Trump won due to conservative media that spent the last decade telling conservative voters that we don't need qualified people in office, we need someone to treat Washington like a business and career politicians are the problem. Trump won because of race baiting and undeliverable promises. Trump won because working class white people feel entitled to manufacturing jobs that no longer exist in America and have systematically disempowered union bargaining based off of some red scare that they're a socialist conspiracy to steal your dues. I'm tired of being sympathetic to educated upper-middle class white people who are scared of the scary Muslims who are going to build a rec center too close to the site of the world trade towers. These people are my parents and my extended family members. The educated liberal elite is not the fucking problem, and if you're going to make someone a scapegoat for why Trump won, make it fucking Donald Trump.

Also: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/06/georgias-harsh-immigration-law-costs-millions-in-unharvested-crops/240774/ turns out driving out undocumented migrant laborers hurts industries like agriculture. Kicking out undocumented immigrants (who pay taxes and are able to get none of the benefits of doing so) is expensive, time consuming, and what is being gained by it? You get to kick out the 'illegals' who are taking our low paying agriculture jobs that helps keep our food prices down? We prop America up as this land of opportunity but if you risk everything to pursue it and don't fill out the right paperwork and are probably a PoC you'll get deported, potentially cutting you off from your family here in the States. And again, what is gained? People who talk about illegal immigration being a problem and needing to build a wall are almost always using coded racial language, and there's a reason the unsecured Canadian border isn't of concern to them.

lol. owned.

god bless Doug. Doug for president.

I went to see Edge of Seventeen today, and I absolutely loved it. If you have any affection for teen comedies, I highly recommend it.

I would highly recommend MBMBaM if you like the humor of The Adventure Zone.

I too bounced off of fatt, but am glad it exists even if it's not for me. luv u Austin.

I made my high school boyfriend a mix cd that closed out with Master of Puppets, and I don't know if he ever forgave me for that. That should have been an indicator to me that things weren't going to work out long term.

Do they realize that it seems likely that Putin will destabilize eastern Europe by invading sovereign nations because he knows that the US wouldn't stop him?

Please also don't underestimate the number of voters that weren't able to vote this election due to voter suppression efforts by the GOP in places like Wisconsin and North Carolina and all throughout the South now that the Voting Rights Act has been gutted.

Nothing will happen until polls start closing. So at like 7 or 8 pm eastern you'll get the first wave, and then every hour after that till like 9pm Pacific (12am eastern) if it's a landslide they will 'call' the election before that point in favor of one candidate. In close states it'll take longer for ballots to be counted and recounted, so it's possible not all states will report in before the end of the night.

You could have gay sims back in the Sims 2. edit - you could have gay sims in the Sims 1, they just couldn't get married.

I'm currently very upset about this. News today: Cloud 9 disbands. http://www.pcgamer.com/cloud9-dota-2-disbands-team/ Aui_2000 kicked from EG. This is the one ​the one that really really upsets me. I literally only care about Dota because I care about Aui_2000. His snuggie and his Aui's 2cents videos, as well as the Aui/Universe music videos are really the only things I'm invested in in Dota. Charlie, EG's manager has confirmed as well I'm very sad and upset about this. https://twitter.com/Aui_2000/status/632366266536214528 https://twitter.com/CharlieCYang/status/632381968676716544

my boyfriend was listening to podcasts during his commutes to school and had me listen to the episode with Jeff Green after I told him about how much I 1. Love Jeff 2. Loved GFW radio and 3. Wish Jeff was my second dad.

I would love to be an instrument in the dibs_motel orchestra.
