Who is Jewish?
No Arabs…
Khan is Indian.
Tim Cook is…as bland and boring a leader of the world’s most valuable company as anyone could ever ask for.
EDIT: Oops. Srouji is Israeli Arab Christian.

Lesbian, at the least. No reason to believe she’s not competent. She’s been at Apple a long time, and Jobs didn’t put up with shit.
Precisely. Who exactly was “hurt” by a warrior dryad saying “Here’s my human call—I’m so wasted, I’m so wasted!”
The modern day puritans removed that.
Plus fart jokes were removed? I don’t even claim to understand why.
It’s from the Warcraft 2 manual, drawn by Chris Metzen.
Here’s what made Blizzard so great. That sketch is from the Warcraft 2 manual and it was drawn by Chris Metzen, who also did (and still does) voices for Warcraft. Metzen was a D&D nerd who started at the bottom of the company and worked his way up to the top. His work was awesome, the games were awesome, and quality was rewarded.
If you take a look at recent Blizzard Q&As, developer interviewers etc., it’s clear that “fun games” or “awesome artwork” or irrelevant things like “quality” are no longer important.
What do they care about? ESG / diversity points to cover up previous bad press so as not to hurt the Activision stock price.
Microtransactioning everything.
Churning out products.
Old Blizzard spent years working on projects (Lord of the Clans, Ghost, Project Titan) and then cancelled them when they weren’t fun. Blizzard was infamous for releasing games WHEN they were ready.
Warcraft Warcraft 2 Starcraft Broodwars Diablo Diablo 2 World of Warcraft etc Even Overwatch!
Blizzard went an awful long time without a single miss. Sad, but now they couldn’t find a good game if it was a hole in the ground.
What’s their most popular product now—World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore mode???
I only knew a few of them! Unreal is obvious, Godot is another big one, and Unity is too.
I had a to google a bunch of them. The ones I knew--Source is half life. SCUMM is the game engine from LucasArts ... Monkey Island. (Similar to old school Sierra adventure games that ran on the AGI and then SCI engines.)
Groovie was the engine for The 7th Guest.
Alright, no topping that! Groovie..
Pretty SCUMMy thing to do.
I mean yeah, "Current day" fades fast and in 10 years people will be like "what does that even mean?" This doesn't feel like a big deal to me. Is this game supposed to be historically immersive?
When Beamdog released Baldur's Gate EE and they gave Minsc, using the original voice actor even, a dumb line about Gamergate. I wrote and just said it felt inappropriate for the setting. They removed the line. Beamdog and Trent Oster are huge SJWs, most of their new additions suck, but kudos to them for that.
It wasn't "ACAB" it was "APAB" -- All Puppets Are Bastads. I don't know who it's making fun of it? Is it a tribute to ACAB or mocking ACAB? Don't know! I would actually bet the antifa acab types are the ones who would get their panties in a twist over this.
Hilarious. Girl on the left seems to be some sort of multi-toefingered beast balancing like a contortionist.
Girl on the right has a vestigial pair of dog teats.
Thumbs up.
Wow, as a dyed-in-the-wool apple user, that was just horrifying.
I pretty much agree with your take. I'm not sure it's QUITE as different as you might make it out. I mean, yes, it's easier than at any time in history to access porn and highly perverted porn is certainly easier to access than at any time in history.
In highschool one of my friends managed to get a Playboy subscription. Another, through his older brother, got a couple of VHS tapes that got widely shared around, etc.
It's going to happen. I have a kid going into highschool. I don't want to think about this crap, but realistically, it's going to happen.
I went to a top 20 undergrad institution, and I bring this up not to toot my own horn (because I am firmly of the opinion that other than social status and networking, there's not a huge difference between the tip top schools and many other schools).
25+ years ago affirmative action was everywhere in college admissions. My freshman roommates was a black guy who had well-off parents. He had attended a prestigious private highschool. He had shitty SAT and shitty highschool grades. He should not have been admitted. He was on academic probation multiple times, and while he did graduate, he went to a super shitty law school and now has a shitty job.
He would have been better off going to a school where he could have performed better and had less debt.
In my four years, the only people I knew who ended up on academic probabtion were minorities who had test scores and grades that would not have gotten them admittance on the merits. They were by no means dumb people.
One Indian girl I knew flunked out of engineering. She transferred schools, ended up in some kind of nursing program, and has done great.
The analogy I am making...my school just wanted to up their "diversity" quotient and they let in many people who were not helped. The school gets helped, but the individuals get fucked.
It's the same here. Canadian gets to jack off about how good and accepting and diverse they are (while getting some cheap labor), and meanwhile the individuals are suffering.
Pure performative leftism, like all leftism.
Highlander 2 is one of the biggest wtfs of all time!
I liked the first one. Plus, Queen.. "Who wants to live forever" etc. Awesome music. Plus, #VinceMcMahonMeme: Sean Connery in a movie called "Highlander", as an immortal sword fighter, who is Egyptian/Spanish.
TV highlander dude was way better than movie dude.
Sweettea, all one word!
(Cheerwine or grape soda is also acceptable)
As a proud southerner, sign me up for the watermelon and fried chicken. That's some good shit. (Maybe some antacid afterwards)
I just want to know who sends their kids to sleep at other people's houses unless it's like a sleepover with a similarly aged kid? Sending a kid to sleep over a music minister's house? What? Is there some context I'm missing.
I don't think that's fair; Bahai is not a cult.
My grandparents built their house in ~1950. They sold it 1990 for I think $70k, and they thought they got a great price for it.
It sold again in 2004 for ~$200k. Wow, that’s a big increase in less than 15 years!
House most recently sold in 2021 for $550k.
Today, the zillow estimate is just shy of $700k.
This is a 75 year old house, ~1500 sq ft, 3 bed, 2.5 bath. Less than half an acre, nice neighborhood, good location, etc., but still, it’s just nuts.
Not new. I grew up (occasionally) going to a United Church of Christ church. It was, and still is, lesbians all the way down.
Is there a transcript of the whole thing?
Damn, that was 11 years ago…
Zager & Evans, "In The Year 2525" (1969):
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pills you took today
Actually all the lyrics are pretty dead on!
Why are homosexuals so overrepresented?
2 out of 12 = 16.666%
If we’re playing the representation game, there should be 1 or 0 homosexuals, several Latinos, one black.
(Which is why the representation game is retarded and evil.)
edit: woops, added a row of execs!
