“Harambe” is also the name of a specific floor on UMass’s campus that’s been set aside for black students looking to live within a black community in a predominantly white school.
Wow, I was laughing hard up until this point. What the fuck is the point of diversity and integration if you're just going to segregate yourself?
Anyways, now I'm just going to post Harambe memes twice as much.
ha ha those silly harambes right

http://fusion.net/story/346541/death-to-harambe-memes/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fusion&utm_content=linkYet as time has passed, whatever potential Harambe had as a subject for cultural critique has given way to “jokes” like Dicks Out For Harambe and Harambe Did 9/11. The punchlines of these memes are ostensibly rooted in the idea that Harambe’s getting a kick out of his legacy as he watches on from gorilla heaven. In reality, though, these jokes are all about using “Harambe” as a shorthand for black people and openly mocking them without fear of being labeled as racist.
[...]
Similarly, resident assistants at the University of Massachusetts were compelled to explain in a letter to this year’s freshmen that writing Harambe memes on public whiteboards in their shared dorm spaces was an act of subtle, racially-driven hostility. “Harambe” is also the name of a specific floor on UMass’s campus that’s been set aside for black students looking to live within a black community in a predominantly white school.
“[Harambe] has a very positive connotation, but current social media has been misrepresenting it,” the RAs explained. “The floor has been in existence for many years, so any negative remarks regarding ‘Harambe’ will be seen as a direct attack on our campus’ African-American Community.” What do you say to THAT, you sick, alt-right whiteys? Does your racism have no end?

Obama flipped this plea on its head. “When you have a professional army,” he once told me, “that is well armed and sponsored by two large states”—Iran and Russia—“who have huge stakes in this, and they are fighting against a farmer, a carpenter, an engineer who started out as protesters and suddenly now see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict …” He paused. “The notion that we could have—in a clean way that didn’t commit U.S. military forces—changed the equation on the ground there was never true.” The message Obama telegraphed in speeches and interviews was clear: He would not end up like the second President Bush—a president who became tragically overextended in the Middle East, whose decisions filled the wards of Walter Reed with grievously wounded soldiers, who was helpless to stop the obliteration of his reputation, even when he recalibrated his policies in his second term. Obama would say privately that the first task of an American president in the post-Bush international arena was “Don’t do stupid shit.” Obama was so hellbent on reversing Bush Jr.'s policies that he simultaneously left Iraq helpless against the invading ISIS forces while undermining a decade of work in the region -- or as he'd call it: "stupid shit". He drew the red line in Syria, and then did jack shit when it was crossed repeatedly, specifically because he didn't have the clout to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, who back Assad and threatened to walk if the U.S. bombed his regime. Obama has been steamrolled by Syria, Iran, Russia, and China at every turn; the president that won a Nobel peace prize less than a year in office made the world more violent and filled with war due to an inability to maintain strong allies and a hard line against tyranny and terrorism. He wasn't incompetent, but was severely ineffective, and Hillary Clinton's devotion to continuing his policies is the most troubling aspect of her platform.

Destiny's soundtrack is one of the few things that made the grind tolerable for a while. He deserves every praise he gets for it.

Mass Effect 3's terrible ending can hardly be described as 'mediocre'.
we're not talking about the worst ending of the decade, though
Imagine you were eating the tastiest veggie burger you've ever had; it's juicy, succulent, and a great meal after two delicious vegan appetizers. Just as you take the last bite, the chef runs out and informs you that there was a mistake and the burger was actually 100% beef. That's kind of like playing Mass Effect 3.

Mass Effect 3, maybe? The bulk of the game is good
god DAMMIT you guys suck at this
I have to agree with Verb on this. Besides Verb's choice, everyone else's choice of wordt video games are more medicore than horrible.

Mass Effect 3, maybe? The bulk of the game is good, but I can't recall any other game creating so much vitriol in the community. Yeah NMS was bad, but that's largely due to fans getting excited over a low-budget indie game they barely saw before buying.

Breakfast: 1 bottle Soylent + 1-2 scoops protein powder
Lunch meal prep: Chicken breast, dark green veggie, 1 cup brown rice
In college I'd do 1 cup of liquid egg whites, 1 cup skim/soy milk, 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, and a few tablespoons each of instant coffee and peanut butter powder. Good shit.

I kind of thought we were mostly referring to consoles, because of the disparity in quality that existed (and still exists to a lesser extent).
Including PC games, I'd probably throw World of Warcraft into the mix, though it started slightly outside of the past decade.

Tbh I really liked Halo 2's ending.

« on: September 20, 2016, 11:00:33 AM »
Halo 2 or 3, probably. Dark Souls may be one of my personal favorites, but it definitely hasn't had the following or impact that other games have had. Isolating one or two games as standouts of the decade is a pointless effort, anyway.

>That one moment when you're down by one in QP and your team pulls together and wins with perfect synchronization
Splendid
Meanwhile I get stuck with shit like this
The worst decision is, when you have a team like that, deciding whether you'll be the healer or the tank.
Neither works because my team was dicking around and not staying near the objective. At that point I just said fuck it and picked Hanzo to practice taking potshots at the enemy team. There was no hope.
When teams are committed to a 5 man offense, commit to a dive hero like Winston, Lucio, Genji, Hanzo, Pharah, S76, etc. You're playing a Selfish Solo Queue, and your "teamwork" will be eliminating pressure on your teammates.
If you can't win, save yourself.
1. Use 'sit' emote in spawn point 2. Spam "We need a healer!" 3. Wave as teammates run by

Been getting disconnected pretty much every match for the past 4 days. LC 202, B 152, etc. It's basically unplayable at this point, and there's nothing wrong with my internet connection.

This is why Hillary can't be president. There will only be more occurrences of US backed militias trying to take down legitimate, democratic governments.
"Democratic" he says
The whole thing happened because the dictator decided to open fire on his own people. It's just the US never learns from their mistakes and keeps funding people who have shady ties at best.
I honestly don't think there are any "right" people in that region anymore aside from ISIS factions being in the wrong. You have a dictator or a power vacuum.
The protestors were most likely agitated and backed by the CIA.
Legitimately wondering if there's evidence of this
There was no evidence of the CIA and MI5 toppling Iran's democracy at the time it happened either.
Okay I'm not asking to be critical, I'm asking because I want to know what is compelling people to think this.

If there is, I doubt we'll ever see it. I imagine most of those protestors and agitators from early in the upheaval are dead by now.
The whole Arab Spring was really fishy, though, in retrospect.
So what is the CIA-protest conclusion based upon?

Funny how the only evidence for this has been proven false, and was more likely to actually have been fired by the rebels.
Have the rebels also been dropping chlorine bombs on themselves?
Some of them have, unless there are some more recent ones but the one a couple of years back was the ISIS knockoff bombing another rebel group.
There have been several chlorine bombings in the past week or so, delivered via helicopters.

Man of Steel: The way they showed Clark/Kal-El as a kid adjusting to his powers and wrestling with what he should do with them. Except for the part where Jonathon Kent, a normally supportive, tolerant, and loving father scars Clark well into adulthood by urging him to hide his powers by letting him be killed right in front of him. That backstory is arguably responsible for the crappy grimdark Supes that is so lacking in confidence and experience that he causes untold collateral damage in his first fight, leading directly to the BvS plot.

Russians and US are supporting opposing sides anyway, so it's not surprising that there's been a crossfire. Hell, Russia already has air search radars in Syria.

/pol/ is solely comprised of vapid teens that can't understand politics so they post cringey memes instead of coherent thoughts in response to news.
But goddamn, it's hilarious how seriously the media is taking them.

Just hit level 25 yesterday. Looks like I can get around playing some competitive now.
Same actually
Dunno if it'll be as fun as QP though
I notice more teamwork and mics in Comp matches than QP. Unfortunately, you can't a six stack of Winston in Comp so no memey high-jinks.
Chimpout in Numbani is officially the best strategy
4 winstons 2 lucios
and you ride the point to cocaine fuelled victory
A single Bastion would wreck that entire strategy though

TDK was good, but not a great Batman film. what makes a good batman film
Being more true to the character. Nolan's Batman was a martial arts novice, a largely incompetent businessman, had no detective skills to be found, and was constantly outwitted by villains. They're solid movies though; don't get me wrong. Batfleck is a better Batman, for example.

« on: September 17, 2016, 11:45:20 AM »
Stylistically, probably Memento. TDK was good, but not a great Batman film. Interstellar was fantastic until the ending. Nolan isn't very good at ending his films, IMO, which is probably why Memento is my favorite of his: the beginning is the ending.
