| Topic | Spider-Man 2018 is seriously getting flak for not being anti-police? |
| s0nicfan 09/13/18 1:33:17 PM #7 | https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/they-turned-spider-man-into-a-damn-cop-and-it-sucks-1828944087 Granted, I am only a few hours into the game, but so far the primary objective boils down to Help The Cops. Not just any cops, either, but the NYPD specifically, because the game takes place in a true-to-life rendering of New York City. Its dumb to expect video games to be responsible reflections of real life, but it is also impossible, for me at least, to not feel some ickiness about the game forcing me into cahoots with even a fictionalized version of the NYPD, an organization that routinely oppresses some of the most vulnerable residents of the city I live in. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Normally owning US debt is good for stabilizing a local currency, so strange move. That's because the US put sanctions on Turkey, so they did that as a retaliatory measure. Really, though, it's just Erdogan completely ruining the country. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | Memes are getting out of hand |
| s0nicfan 09/13/18 11:24:54 AM #18 | Muffinz0rz posted... rikasa posted...Wrote up an essay explaining OP but it was too long for a gamefaqs message. There was a meme going around for a while with a picture of an anime character saying "Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well" and people would black out parts of the subtitles to change what he said. So the meme title would be "when you see Heaven's Gate (a cult)" and the subtitles would be blacked out to say "Ah, I see ______ _ ___ __ cult___ __ ____". There's a totally different meme of Strange and Thanos where Thanos shows him what his planet used to look like, where people would photoshop the "before" and "after" shots to be about different things. The TC's meme is a fusion of 2 memes, with a cheaply photoshopped lemon in for effect. It wouldn't make any sense at all unless you knew the previous 2 memes. It's like deep, deep, "fresh on image sharing sites" levels of memeing. EDIT: I'm not rikasa, btw, I just figured I could explain it quickly enough for you. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The judge ruled that the law made no sense because gun stores could advertise in any other way, including with neon gun-shaped signs, and that it wasn't good justification to restrict advertising because someone impulsive might buy one. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
