that where The Bore is heading as we don't have new applicants and all of us are getting older all the time, looking older all the time.

I'm just hoping we are feeling younger in our mind.

You can't be over-represented in the electorate.

Everyone of legal age can vote. The electorate just is the electorate.

There is just a lot of boomers.

People who celebrated him were always corny not only cause they chose to prop up some dude on a pedestal because of kideo games, but dude doesn't even make any of those games.

He's just an exec selling shit to you.

I've never been so hyped as when he came on stage, said his name, and said 'we're about kicking ass, we're about taking names, and making games'.  It made me feel like an Evangelical in a billion-dollar church.

I stayed up fairly late watching some of that Seattle live footage last night. I'm pretty impressed by the animosity and resilience that they have. It made me think about 20 years ago when I was shocked at how gangster they were during the WTO protests.

Is it just the type of person that lives in the area (passionate), or has there always been this animosity to authority or do the Seattle PD have a terrible reputation?

This isn't what the post means, though I admit it could be worded better since he's using 'representation' both politically, but more statistically.

BLM protesting hit Smithtown (an upper middle class 90+% white part of Long Island, where I was born and raised), and the counter protestors were in full force:

This also was disgusting to see:

My name is Alejandro I’m 22 from longisland New York. Today in the town of smithtown longisland about 15 minutes where I live me and 4 of my other friends went to a peaceful black lives matter protest. It was peaceful until my friends and I left the protest group for a some water and snacks. We walked past a very large group of white supremacists. As we were walking past they were yelling racist things to my small group and antagonizing us i decided be peaceful and enlighten them on why we protesting, asking just to have a conversation with them and let them know what we stand for and try to understand where they are coming from. They lured me in saying ok lets talk and as i approached the mob of racists i was sucker punched on the side of my head and then the group started jumping me, my 3 friends and my girlfriend immediately started fighting for me and defending me. They swung on my girl friend and attacked my friends and i with weapons. Hitting us with bats and one was even carrying numchucks and striked my friend in his face/head leaving a huge gash on his head covering him up in blood. They truly started attacking us with no warning, We had our hands up seeking a conversation and they lured us in just to hurt us. The police broke it up and instead of immediately grabbing the people who attacked us with weapons, they grabbed me and my friend group up instead. They didn’t say a word to the white supremacists and let them get away with what happened completely. One of the white supremacists even tried yelling to the cops THAT WE HAD A GUN WHEN THEY WERE THE ONES WITH WEAPONS! The cops forced us to go to the police station right away where they did not care and couldn’t have made it anymore obvious, the officer taking our report said “what do you expect it’s your fault for going don’t you see the news” and than said that “well the paper work is done good luck” practically mocking us and not even acknowledging the fact that we were innocently just walking down the street , and got attacked with weapons ASSAULTED ME AND EVERY ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I have a video of these men with the weapons clearly in their hands and them yelling racist things.

I didn’t know butt boys were also democrats, I always assumed they were apolitical or independent.

Or did he mean that butt boys practice democracy?

I like the current argument among the liberals and the progressives.

Tweeter 1: "Don't be dumb guys, defund the police OBVIOUSLY does not mean defund the police entirely.
It means allocating less funds to the police in favor of other public services"

Tweeter 2: "ARE YOU DEAF LIBRUL? DEFUND ALL THE FUCKING POLICE!"

He is American though. Since 2019

Can we no longer talk about the Dutch if we aren't Dutch?  :(

Inventor of the Belgian waffle.

Probably a child molester as well. You ever read Hansel & Gretel?


The recent discourse about monuments in the Anglosphere hasn‘t reached Germany yet, at least not in numbers that represent a big chunk of the population.

Otherwise people living on Hindenburg Street(there is one in almost every major city) might have to remember a new address. :whew

I enjoy messing with my Czech buddies whenever these various statues are removed or torn down that Charles IV is next. One of them always gets a little triggered and starts to build his defense "well you can look at his treatment of Jews to justify taking it down, but...". It's OK my man. Nobody will be tearing down Charles IV statues anytime soon if I had to bet on it.

yeah, it might be lame, but when he first showed up at e3 2004, it was a pretty great moment.  so it's a shame to see him go down this route, but probably not surprising.

on the other hand, nintendo of japan outright said Black Lives Matter, so at least there's that.

I mean I thought J Allard was cool too at E3 2005.

My mind was shattered when I then saw old pictures of him balding and wearing ill fitting clothes looking like just another sleep deprived programmer. Wonder if he still tries to be hip or reverted back to his pre-360 talking dude days.

Edit: found him! Photographed with a cop lol. This picture was with an article from 2019

It's incredibly disappointing to see this wind down this fast.  Civil rights groups really need to do more forms of protest other than just get a lot of people out on the streets.

i really don't think it's close to over yet. a lot of the fairweather support - like all these daytime peaceful protests - will dry up, but you'll still see a lot more of the hardcore activists continuing to do protests that will inevitably get attacked by cops. the media will pull off it once trump does something stupid enough again, but cops will continue to hurt and murder innocent people so there'll still be plenty of reason to take to the streets. it's also good that there's still a lot of pushback on this token bullshit like what the democrats are offering. people know that won't change anything.

A shame to support his community? Maybe the police chief lady is a relative/friend of his or something.
He was in some other promotional police material too so I guess there's a connection there.

It's pretty cool how Reggie is still involved in the gaming/tech industry and sharing his knowledge and experience with workshops and presentations.
A shame if that would end because of some online hate train he gets caught up in. Thankfully Reggie posted again today and it doesn't look like the internet mob will silence him anytime soon.

Hell, Reggies has been undercover passing as like a French guy or whatever everyone thought he was before finding out he was black in like 2015.

I don’t know why anyone would expect him to be super passionate about black issues.
