Did you ever play like Zelda or FFVII when you were in elementary school and we're nostalgic for them in highschool? 6 years seems a hell of a lot longer when you're 18 than when you're in your mid 30s

Lol, no
(Unless you add the addendum "Don't fail the PBT")

quote:

During a news conference later Thursday, John Rivera, president of the Miami-Dade County Police Benevolent Association, called the shooting an accident.

“Sometimes police officers make mistakes,” Rivera said. “They are not computers. They are not robots. They are God’s creation.”

quote:

“Fearing for Mr. Kinsey’s life, [the officer] discharged his firearm,” Rivera said. “In trying to save Mr. Kinsey’s life, he missed and accidentally struck Mr. Kinsey.”

In college I had the "you found a secret!" jingle from Zelda as my text tone, and I went to a really nerdy liberal arts school, so I got a lot of people hearing it and doing double takes, it was great :allears: Sadly, not nearly so many responses once I went to a huge state school for grad school.

The gently caress kind of excuse is this? The cop was in fear for the life of the guy laying on the ground with his hands up? So basically he was afraid of the autistic dude sitting cross-legged staring at the ground on his phone?

Or if you're really lucky, you'll be talking to two white people who are mad about the suppression of Their Heritage, and one will mention the Moon Landing, only to have the other start in about moon landing hoaxes. It's loving magical to watch.

Wasn't the guy also basically shouting "I'm a therapist and this is my patient! Therapy is happening here; he's not a danger to me or anyone else!" just before the cop shot him?

They could be like Steve King at the Republican convention and claim white people had invented everything.

It was awesome to watch him be barraged by Tweets like #gunpowder, #algebra, #zero, #chocolate, #paper, #inoculation, and so forth.

People use the moon landing as an example of white heritage? They were all white because NASA and the air force didn't hire any black people. Most of NASAs history leading up to the moon landing was under racial segregation. Cool heritage brah.

Incidentally, the first African American in space didn't happen until 1983. We made it to the moon and back 6 times before we hired a black guy :smith:

Yep, they claim they didn't hear because they were too far. They also claim that part of why they setup the shot was that the autistic person wasn't following commands. You might figure where the lapse in logic between those two scenarios exists.

They claim to be from a proud and ancient lineage and the best they can come up with is the loving 60's. Personally I like the "tell me a custom of your people" question, because it's much harder to come up with a positive example of a shared white-people ritual than it is to come up with a historical thing where white people were involved.

Because it literally annoys me into answering my phone asap. It's also an excellent alarm clock. I keep my phone just out of reach so I have to get out of bed and then I'm too irritated at the phone to go back to sleep. :bravo:

The "white heritage" thing is ridiculous for a lot of reasons, not least that it's blatantly untrue. There are scholarships available for people of just about any European heritage (I myself was able to apply for German, Polish and Lithuanian ones). My city has Greek, Russian, Irish and Italian festivals (as well as more I'm sure I'm forgetting), plus a German Christmas market, all of which feature traditional food, music, dancing, crafts, etc., and I'm sure larger cities have even more than that. I realize that a lot of the people who complain about Black History month or Chinese New Year parades or whatever live in places where the biggest cultural event is a sale at Walmart, but come the gently caress on.
