DC/Warner really needs to chill with the "us too" act and find their own path rather than just chasing after whatever Marvel/Disney has already done.

They've done better than Marvel on the TV front.

I'll be watching it after the fact so I don't contribute to ratings

why would you even watch it period?

I mean unless Hillary sneaks up there and puts her hand on the Bible first and yells NO TAKESIE BACKSIES! There's still a chance right? This is in an obscure clause in the Constitution right? Can Obama do anything???

[benjipwns]

So I just got into a conversation with two of my employees that are trump supporters and while I have an issue with that it's not what bother me the most. When racism was brought up I mentioned that trump never disavowed the KKK

"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."

Trump's campaign Tuesday night said that he “denounces hate in any form” and disavowed support for his candidacy offered by a newspaper associated with the Ku Klux Klan.

“This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign,” Trump's campaign said in a statement

George STEPHANOPOULOS: “You’ve seen that tweet from Mitt Romney. He called your response ‘disqualifying and disgusting,’ says your ‘coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America.’ Your response?”

TRUMP: “David Duke and all were disavowed. I disavowed him on Friday. I disavowed him right after that because I thought if there was any question on him, you take a look at Twitter.

“Almost immediately after on Twitter and Facebook, they were disavowed again. I disavowed him every time I speak to somebody virtually and you know, they just keep it going. They keep it going and they said, ‘Oh, we never looked at your Twitter account. We never looked at Facebook.’ I said, ‘Take a look at Facebook.’ It was totally disavowed.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, are you prepared right now to make a clear and unequivocal statement renouncing the support of all white supremacists?”

TRUMP: “Of course I am.

In 2000, Trump told NBC’s “Today” that he wouldn’t seek the Reform Party nomination because he said the party was “self-destructing.”

Matt LAUER: “When you say the party is self-destructing, what do you see as the biggest problem with the Reform Party right now?”

Trump: “Well, you’ve got David Duke just joined – a bigot, a racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party.”

The New York Times also reported at the time that Trump issued a news release referring to Duke as “a Klansman” and not the “company I wish to keep.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday disavowed a former Ku Klux Klan leader's support.

"I didn't even know he endorsed me," Trump said while unveiling an endorsement from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, when asked about former KKK grand wizard David Duke's support.

"David Duke endorsed me? OK, alright. I disavow, OK?" Trump said, seeking to quickly move on to another question.

Former reality TV star Donald Trump denounced the Ku Klux Klan at Thursday night’s GOP presidential debate in Detroit. It’s the latest development in an increasingly surreal Republican primary campaign, where a white supremacist organization that has promoted hatred and violence for over a century is a natural topic of discussion.

“I totally disavow the Ku Klux Klan, I totally disavow [former KKK Grand Wizard] David Duke, I’ve been doing it now for two weeks,” Trump said, responding to a question from Fox News moderator Chris Wallace about his views on white supremacists.

So sometime last week I apparently tore a muscle around the left side of my ribs. For the past week I've been in some of the worst pain I've ever experienced, it's felt like my side has been on fire, I'm constantly exhausted and frequently dizzy from the pain. Thankfully it's getting better. This is unfortunate as I am now becoming more cognizant of the full weight I now bear upon me due to being an irresponsible bastard with a credit card.

I say this to add clarity to the state of mind I've been in when I made this decision.

Having recently moved out I swore to myself that I'd pare down on useless shit, broken electronics, and excess tchotchkes. I'm pretty much going broke as I severely underestimated the funds and random items required for living alone. Yet I couldn't help myself when I saw this son of a bitch sitting, buried under a pile of old turntables at the used record store in town.

It looked broken as all hell but the manipulative shop owner tells me it works and it's only $40! "What a steal!" I tell myself. I've always wanted a Laserdisc player for some god forsaken reason. Likely because I've never found one in the wild. Let alone a goddamn working one. It's always had the air of something vintage and exotic. I don't know why I had such a fucking romantic attraction to the atmosphere of these things, maybe it was due to seeing them as a child and being enamored by how BIG AND SHINY these things are. I started rifling through the inordinate supply of movies on hand and picked a couple out to go with it. "$3 for each," he croons. A good enough deal for a small handful. Star Wars! Roger Rabbit! Indiana Jones! Then right as I'm about to check out he whispers gently, “$50 just for these, or $200 for the whole lot.”

I try explaining to the jailer of my wallet that I’m severely ill and in no way fit to be making large purchasing decisions. That any decision I could possibly make in his favor would be the result of exploitative and cruel coercion. He stared for a moment into the distance before glancing lustfully down at the wallet laid bare in front of him.

“I’m alright with that,” he said grinning.

And then I offered him my credit card and it started raining.

So now I sit here, exhausted, nearly asleep and nigh breathless having hauled hundreds of pounds of laserdiscs in the middle of the night, up stairs, as it poured rain, my ribs feeling as though they're engulfed in napalm. I don’t have the money for these, I CLEARLY don’t have the space for these, and I don’t even know if this damn thing works properly.

I lost count somewhere at around 300 individual titles. That’s not 300 discs, just titles. That doesn’t even account for some of the absurdities in here, like double copies, Indiana Jones on CAV, or an entire collection of Star Trek The Animated Series. What struck me the most about these bastards is just how heavy these fuckers are. Each disc alone weighs nearly a half pound, and almost every film is plastered across 2-3+ discs.

Not to mention the condition of the device itself. Apparently it's been dropped, the crack in the front is actually so bad the face droops into drive tray. Hence the cardboard wedged underneath so that it doesn't grind up against itself. Had I known this at the time I probably would have thought twice about this accursed thing. I’d test it but my CRT is still unplugged having just returned from repairs from some hack who refused to attempt calibrating it or even correcting slight flaws in the geometry. Additionally it’s clearly been broken before as there’s a sticker on the back advertising a local repair shop that doesn’t even show up properly on google. On top of that I only just found out this damnable contraption doesn't support dolby digital output. Even if it did I'd need to acquire some kind of Star Trekesque "demodulater" in order to convert the signal to a modern receiver.

I just needed to vent. I’m fucking miserable right now and I have no idea how to store all of these things. I’ve literally run out of wall to lean them on. It’s ridiculous.

Does anyone have any idea what a good storage solution might be for something like this? What in the hell do I even DO with this many of the damn things? A part of me thought about maybe lining the room with classic movies on laserdisc as if they were albums. How do I even care for these? How fucked am I in getting this thing to work?

Oh, and it didn't even come with a remote.

GAF I'm seriously injured, broke, and I bought a stillborn physical video media format from 20 years ago. Please feel sorry for me and halp.

No impulse buying control : the thread.

WTF at the Laserdic kink as well. Save for a couple of very specific reasons (Like owning the pre-Special Edition Star Wars LDs, though I know you can find versions with better fidelity now on the net) or being a huge dedicated enthusiast for this stuff, there's to my knowledge 0 reasons to own this. LD is cumbersome & picture quality is shit now. At least a VHS player, due to its ubiquity and despite all of its flaws, open to you a near infinite catalog of titles that may not have yet been released in any other form since, if you're into weird stuff.

EDIT : Also not many Gaffers are even commenting that a guy "going broke" just spent 200$ on mostly dead weight.

[Raist]

Hold up.

Bobby Roberts finally admitted he's not black?

To clarify: I'm not in support of that handholdy bullshit. Just calling out how it was when I was young & dumb, and what it is I continue to see when I talk to some people about their bullshit, specifically in regards to the thread title and the article in the OP.

It's frustrating and annoying and an unnecessary hindrance. And a lot of white people do not wanna hear it. We want that pat on the back first before anything gets too deep.

I'm not saying we should get it, or that we deserve it. Just that the base entitlement is often not even recognized by us, much less questioned.

for example: The post above me where dude seems to be somewhat burnt by the idea a joke like "Thanks a lot, white people" doesn't come with some sort of disclaimer or acknowledgement that he specifically isn't one of those white people.

Like, if you're secure in the knowledge you aren't one of those white people, you shouldn't need that outside validation paid to you up-front before continuing to engage, right?

I swear, Americans have been so brainwashed by the media.

What is wrong with Trump receiving a beautiful letter from Putin?
Putin is a very smart man who will never dream of attacking the USA knowing the consequences. so I don't understand fear mongering.

Had Hilary won, many on here wouldn't have been appalled if she received a beautiful letter from the Saudis (co-funded her campaign even though she believed that they were also funding Islamic jihadis too).
