The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Commissar SFLUFAN replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
I do posit that if an actual African-American conservative party -- one that was absolutely free from the taint of the GOP's white supremacist baggage -- where ever to somehow be created that the Democratic Party would be in SERIOUS danger of complete and total irrelevance in large swathes of the South (well, moreso than they are now ) -

And it was SUCH a VERY OBVIOUS trap at that. A blind man could see that trap coming a mile away. -
This is the "extraordinary fraud" for which Tim Sweeney personally apologized to Yves Guillemot.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Commissar SFLUFAN replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Of course, what the conservatives fail to mention is that more often than not, those African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants (especially from the English-speaking Caribbean) tend to NOT be from the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. As a result, they're already starting from a more advantageous position within American society than a not-insignificant chunk of the African-American population. That alone makes a HELLUVA difference when it comes interactions with white America. -

They should absolutely be ashamed of themselves for spouting such nonsense. -

A common trope among white conservatives (and black ones like Thomas Sowell) is to point specifically to black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean as "success stories" and to say "See? America isn't a racist society because look at how great those black immigrants are doing! Would they be doing so well if America was actually a racist society? Of course not! The problem must OBVIOUSLY lie with African-American culture, not with America itself!" -
The outcome of this case is really going to hinge on whether Epic's (probably correct) claims of Apple's monopolistic/rent-seeking practices are enough to overcome their unquestionable violation of a contractual agreement that in no way could be construed as being entered into under duress, fraud, undue influence, or any other provision that would make the contract null and void. I still maintain that this would be an open and shut case in Epic's favor if they hadn't broken the contract with Apple, but still proceeded to sue them on the same grounds as they are now.

Heck, I just realized that I feel about porn the identical way I feel about watching someone play a video game on Twitch
-
Why would I go through all of that trouble when I could just eliminate them and be done with it?

Let me put it this way regarding porn: even if I did have a real sex drive I STILL wouldn't watch porn because my fundamental problem with it is that it's so goddamned boring and pointless. If I'm not the one engaging in the sexual activity, why the hell would I want to watch others doing it? I feel the same way about strip clubs: if I can't do anything with the dancers, then why should I even bother being there?

The way I see it, my "approach" represents the next natural step of human evolution. The desire to reproduce really is an instinctual remnant of our forebears and I simply don't see how our species can transcend to another physical/psychological/social level if we are essentially beholden to such desires. I'll let Dr. Wallace Breen more eloquently describe what I mean:
