Way out west there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there. 'Course I can't say I've seen London, and I ain't never been to France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.

"If you pay to go to a public school, you can't complain if you face institutionalized discrimination"

Yeah, what a guy
You guys really need to stop throwing around terms like 'institutionalized discrimination' where there is none, because all it will ever end up doing is denigrating actual cases of institutionalized discrimination.

The university didn't offer what these idiots were looking for. Boo fucking hoo. They either have a choice of bucking up and choosing something else, or moving to another university that have the major they want. Crying wolf and throwing temper tantrums accomplishes nothing.

'Institutionalized discrimination' fucking lmao. Anything to establish a victim status for these people.
jfc

Nobody's talking about the fuckin' major. Who gives a shit about the fuckin' major?

>institutionalized

Go reread the article again or look up what institutionalized means, because evidently you haven't done one or the other.
Failure to act on racism promoted by the community in an educational environment due to ignorance or unwillingness is institutionalized racism. It doesn't mean there's some Georgian professor cracking a whip at his black students while he taunts them in a southern drawl, it means that there is a willing sense of ignorance about racist acts being committed by students on campus - such as the cotton and the swastikas.


swastikas aren't racist

He has nothing to lose - he barely registered in numerous polls, and I think his peak is 7%. Like I said, he is riding Sander's coattails

He's doing it better than Sanders tho

Sanders' opening statement talked about Paris once and then shilled for 'muh 1%'. He thinks climate change is more dangerous than isis, which is just... what...

Tonight should be about foreign policy and I feel like OMalley is the strongest in that regard.

He isn't wrong about climate change being more dangerous than Isis

« on: October 29, 2015, 10:40:06 AM »
now that Insomniac is with Microsoft?
They aren't.

Who do you think is developing the Ratchet and Clank remaster?

Insomniac are a third party developer. Sunset Overdrive is simply just an Xbox Exclusive. Just like how Ratchet and Clank is a Playstation exclusive.

I remember seeing an article about them signing a contract with microsoft

edit: never mind

Do it respectfully. I mean, this is pretty straightforward. Could you be more specific about which part is giving you trouble?

I dunno, the specific words I guess
Ah. No one can tell you what to say. And in a way, the words aren't even important. If she's canny, she'll know what you're about to say before you say it. If you care about her beyond your relationship, as a friend, as you say, she'll hear it in your voice and know it. You've simply gotta bite the bullet and stumble through it.

Alright, thanks

I have been dating somebody for a time now, but I want to end it. How do I do it, but stay friendly after? I have a lot of close friends that are also her friends and I don't want any of them to hate me or anything. What do I do?

Well, first we have to actually see if transgenderism is the reason they're killing themselves, it could just be shunning from family members or society.

They say that you see your life flash before your eyes before something bad happens, but if your life flashing before your eyes becomes part of your life, then shouldn't you see it infinitely before you die? I think we're just living in an infinite loop trying to find a way to escape our deaths...
