Also it says up to so Im very skeptical

They say that to cover their asses. If 940 Mbps is the advertised speed then that's essentially the maximum speed you can expect - they get those numbers in their testing labs under optimal conditions. You probably won't get that speed in your home, especially with WiFi, but even half of that advertised speed is damn fast.

I mean, Korean girls have the Asian eye shape. They dont usually have blue eyes too.

black girls do not have pale skin.

white girls dont have black skin.

etc. There are some features that are common to the group. And maybe people can feel attracted or not attracted to them.

i like all kinds of girls, so dont look at me, but telling people that their boner catalogue must look like a Benetton ad is a bit too much

I totally agree that people can feel attracted to whoever they want. My issue is with discounting an entire race because no one can possibly meet every individual of a race and therefore conclude that they aren't attracted to any of them. Black people do not have pale skin, but there's still a variance in skin tone.

Hypothetical: meet Joey.

his best friend is black, he considers his family like his own.

his role model is his school teacher, who is black.

he admires Michael Jordan and Kobe.

he hired a black guy for his CPA firm, and fought to make him partner.

he weeps every time he sees police brutality clips.

there is one detail: for some reason he doesnt feel attracted to black girls. He likes mostly blondes, though some Asians do the trick. That doesnt mean he wont socialize, befriend, hire or defend black girls, for some reason they wont get his little jimmy hard.

are you telling me he would be a racist pig according to you?

People can't help their attraction. But the statement, internal or otherwise, that you aren't attracted to black women implies that all black women have features in common. They don't. They look as different as any group of people.

Also, you're the only one that's said "racist pig".

my pops gave me shit the other day for using a face wash in the shower. said he revoked my uncles man card (jokingly of course) because he said he uses a face wash as well. I asked him what he uses instead, and he says he just uses his bar of soap... told him that shit is harsh for your face and he said does my face look bad to you? my wife chimed in and was like have you looked in a mirror lately? lol

Nice. Not sure where this notion that men can't care about their appearance came from but it's dumb.

Hot take: all those hygiene products marketed towards men are poor quality. Those companies assume that men don't know much about the products, so their audience won't know the difference. Don't buy that shitty Dove Men's Care shampoo + conditioner (or any shampoo + conditioner). Get two separate products, your hair will thank you.

don't much care for bar soap and it usually dries my skin out

Agreed, my skin is dry enough as is and I hate the texture of bar soap on my skin.

I use body wash and face wash. Also moisturizer after the shower (aftershave first if I've shaved). My skin is gross and flaky if I don't, especially in the winter, and if that's what I need to be a man then I'll pass.

It plays like an action RPG, if you have to label it.

It's my favourite space exploration game that I've played. Varied environments, solid controls, excellent story. Criticisms are that the character animations aren't the greatest, which can take you out of the story at times, and the combat isn't anything special.

Its true that he was a criminal - hell, he was being arrested for a reason - but that IN NO WAY makes his death acceptable and its obvious thats the picture they are trying to paint, which is sick.

Frankly its SAD that both sides dont simply accept the entire story in every situation. The world isnt black and white.

Exactly. Even if George Floyd was a criminal - hell, even if he was a VIOLENT criminal, which he wasn't - his death was completely unjust and avoidable. Even if you believe in the death penalty, that isn't how it's done.

In a "look how enlightened we all are" way

I don't really care about being woke or whatever, personally. It's not really about incest. I think that reporting a victimless crime like this sort of relationship between two consenting adults is pointless. Would you call the police because someone told you that they illegally downloaded a movie? Actually that's even worse than the situation at hand because you could argue that someone is financially harmed by that crime.

Black lives aren't the only race under target of systemic oppression, theres plenty of other minority groups who have faced similar fates, thats why the phrase doesnt make sense.

Then they can have their own movements. Again, singling out black lives doesn't somehow de-value the lives of others. I'll leave you to look up the countless analogies and metaphors that people have given on the topic.

If you're sure that it's between two consenting adults, then don't report it. The right thing to do isn't always legal.

Obviously, if you have good reason to think that it isn't between two consensual adults, then report it as you would any such relationship.

It takes attention away from the issue which the movement is about. Of course white lives matter. But they haven't been the target of systemic racism in the first world for ... well, ever.

And before you get the wrong idea, no, I'm not angry. I'm perfectly composed. Disagreement is different from anger.

I was wanting to educate myself on racism and a colleague recommended the movie to me. It's based on the true story of Walter McMillian and his lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, who tries to save McMillian from execution for a crime that he did not commit. Although it takes place in the 80s, it is still extremely relevant. I was moved to tears in more ways than I can express.

Michael B. Jordan (played Killmonger in Black Panther) really shows his range here. Jamie Foxx is excellent as well.

There's a book of the same title that I plan to read but it's understandably sold out in most places right now.

I know the movie has been talked about a lot this week, so most of you have probably heard of it already, but I thought I'd put my thoughts out there anyway.

There 100% are racist problems here in Canada.

TC saying racism exists in other countries to excuse what is going on in his is pretty disgusting though. It shouldn't be tolerated anywhere, including the least racist country, which clearly isn't the US.

I agree that the existence of racism, even worse racism, elsewhere doesn't in any way alleviate what is happen in the US right now.

Yes even though a woman might actually want that, it hurts the cause of female empowerment. Kinda sad how having a family and being a proud mother is seen as hurting women.

Seems that a very vocal group of women who don't hold the values that Vegy mentioned are putting down other women that do want that. It makes it seem that all women should be against it but it's a bunch of "Not Like Other Girls" pushing their agenda on others.

People are free to want whatever life and family structure they choose as long as it doesn't hurt others.

No shit it escalated, I am so fucking mad right now. In four months the coronavirus has killed more people than cops have in the past 100 years, maybe even as long as there have ever been cops. And that was WITH social distancing, and a lower number of infected. And now with everything we know about the virus and how it spreads and how it kills, people like TC are making this exact conscious choice to put their families and other families in danger. Innocent people that never asked for any of this shit. Hell, the protests have been going on for five days now, the point has been made ten times over, and they're STILL putting their own feelings above probably millions of lives. And these same fucking people have the nerve to tell ME that I don't give a damn?? I haven't seen my family in months, and even if I could go see them I wouldn't dare.

The fact that people are willing to protest in large groups despite the pandemic should tell you how important the issue is to them.

Whether or not it should have happened this way, now that Trump has shown his full colours to the world, there's no stopping this anytime soon.

I agree that Canada has a big racism problem, especially against Native Canadians. I had to take a workshop on Indigenous learning during my teaching degree and the struggles that the prof talked about are so similar to those of black Americans.

The worst part is how jealous other Canadians are of the steps the government has taken to make amends. Yes, most Indigenous Canadians get cheap tuition. They also have to pay for elementary school and high school. And until recently (before the Jordan Principle), some Indigenous people that were caught between systems wouldnt get health care.

Anyway, yeah, hopefully America is just ground zero for a global movement.

Eh, "challenging" is kind of relative. Five masks is kind of annoying, but that's just because of the halved sanity of Long Night. I can four mask it in my sleep on multiple characters, but once I got the title and the mount for solo five masking them, I haven't bothered doing five since.

Of course its relative.

Visions have the same problem that the Mage Tower and all recent solo content has had: not scaling with gear. At the end of Legion when artifact traits were buffed like crazy, a lot of the Tower challenges were trivialized. Completing them during Tomb of Sargeras was an accomplishment; completing them after Antoras was expected.

I dont know how the gear scaling should be handled, like maybe copy the timewalking set up and set everyone to the same item level? But there needs to be a way to retain the challenge.

What is this

Added in the latest WoW patch, sort of a challenging solo mode. You can do it with groups, but due to scaling, it's more efficient to go alone for most classes. You earn a currency which is used to buy skills to make the visions easier, and after maxing the skills you can buy cosmetics. You can also get masks which are modifiers that make the visions more difficult but give higher reward.

Basically it's the best piece of content in WoW since Mage Tower.

Mandarin Chinese is often called the most useful language to learn after English.

I'm no language expert but you'll probably have to choose between uniqueness and usefulness. I would think that learning a tonal, character-based language like Mandarin would be impressive to any English-speaker because of how different the two languages are.

I do wish he would have commented on the president himself, but I can understand why he didn't.

To echo other sentiments, I do think that his silence was purposeful. For all his faults, he's always been a strong speaker, so I can't see it as stage fright or anything like that.

I'm not necessarily a fan of Trudeau, but at least we have seen some attempt at transparency and decisive, informed leadership from him. And for those calling him an embarrassment, well, at least we now know what a truly embarrassing leader looks like.

I deleted my post because I had the realization that if it weren't for HOAs and lawncare, I might be in a house right now. It's not the best system. That said, I can understand not wanting your neighbor to have cars with no engine or wheels sitting in their front yard, with dead grass.

When I think of HOAs I'm reminded of the "streamer house" from about a year ago. I can't remember the names, but basically there were some Twitch streamers that moved into a big house in Texas. The local HOA was on their ass from the beginning because they were concerned about a bunch of people in their mid-20s moving into the neighbourhood.

It's that kind of overreaching that really disturbs me. Why on Earth should you get to decide who moves into a house on your block based on age alone? Granted that the streamers went their separate ways pretty quickly, but the complaints came before they even had a chance to do anything to warrant them, and as far as I know they didn't really do anything that affected their neighbours anyway.

I swear to god, there is at least one lawn mower going on my block every day unless it rains. The neighbours across the street mow their lawn every 4 days. Obsessive much? We do ours every 10 days because who the hell cares if it's a bit long.

Thinking about how much time and energy and gas people use on this stuff is boggling my mind.

Sure, it's the aesthetic of your house. I can understand wanting it to look nice. But (1) the noise is totally obnoxious (get a reel mower if you're so obsessed), and (2) you can be fined for having an unsightly lawn. Why does the law get to say what my property looks like? I'm sure there are reasons to do with real estate value and curb appeal. Guess what? I don't care. Leave me to my messy lawn. I pay to live here like everyone else. Again, I can understand unsightly things that actually pose a danger like leaving garbage out. My messy lawn doesn't affect you.
