Oh yeah I did my free summon on the banner today in heroes and got who I’ve been wanting to get for awhile:

One of my favorite characters in sov so I’m pretty happy to get him. He’s plus res minus def which isn’t the worst as fortress res and def with a plus six buff makes him a pretty good wall.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah she’s great.


Well I mean a lot of brazilians are black. I didn’t really mean anything by it.

Brazil is basically a salad of ethnicities, you'll find anyone and from anywhere, and mixed from all sorts of degrees. We have even more racism though, don't think it's too different from the US.

It felt a bit rushed to me*, though what was there was great.

Spoiler

*For being Steven's "greatest challenge yet", White Diamond took less time to submit to the Crystal Gems ideology than Jasper.

One thing I noticed about Steven's final song for the season, he sings a new variant of "We Are the Crystal Gems", but doesn't insert himself into the roll call like he used to. I wonder if this is Rebecca Sugar trying to say something about Steven.

Spoiler

I also feel like it was way too quick but I think they managed to work with what they had. It inly felt fast relative to the rest of the series imo, otherwise the pacing was fine.
Still, I would have preferred if the whole Gem stuff started way earlier than the finale of season 1 and then moved faster than a snail's pace.
Back then, new Gems were an event, now they were all just there and it speaks to how fast the pacing got in recent seasons.

Still, I'm excited to see what comes next because I can't think

But the good stuff?

Yup, ostensibly shy, horrifically indecent

Anything that furthers human development is fine by me

I only care if a joke is funny or not

No. And it'd probably be an amount that exceeds the GDP of the world

JASPER IS BACK

Spoiler

I came up with a few plotlines they could tackle after the episode ended; the examples I came up with were along the lines of

• What will the other Crystal Gems and Jasper do with the revelation of Rose Quartz' true identity?
• Hell, how has Jasper's Earthly experiences effected her? What will she do now?
• Can Gem culture weather the massive social upheaval that will come with White, Yellow and Blue changing their policies? (Some of the gems are comfortable in their roles and with the status quo, others are not; just like in real life this will cause friction)"
• What of other races on planets in the process of being colonised by Homeworld? They probably won't just accept an apology and "oh, we don't that anymore".
• What's going to happen with the Gem shards wandering around Earth? Those will have to be dealt with at some point.

One more I thought of later on that's worth considering: Pink Steven claims Pink Diamond is "Gone" (and he is very adamant about this), but a person's identity is mostly formed from their memories, and Pink Diamond's memories still exist (what I'm saying is that she's not as gone as Steven thinks she is), let's say that someone creates an 'artificial gem' and somehow transfer's Pink Diamond's memories into it, she could, theoretically, come back. Just shooting the breeze with this one because I'm an optimist at heart.

Obsidian's sword is rad, especially how she summons it.

Oh, here's another plot I thought of that I just remembered, when the newly healed gems find out about Steven's nature as a Gem hybrid, what if there are a few who think to replicate the process (for whatever reason)?

 

[Deleted member]

If you could fix one world problem, what would it be?

Bigotry because that's basically the root of most of our problems.

If you could live in any era, which would it be and why?

A future one where capitalism has fallen and people don't have to wrok anymore. If the future is not a valid answer, then whatever era it is socially acceptable to run around with a sword and in full armor

If you could have chosen your own name, what would you have picked?

If I could choose my name as the current me but if I didn't have a name? I'd say Apollo, it has a nice ring to it and I like its origin.

What would be your perfect date night?

Just snacks, Netflix and chill but actual Netflix and chill

What kind of animal am I?

A cat I guess

What kind of animal are you?

A crow I guess. I like crows. They're smart but they'd rather only use their intelligence whe it's convenient and also they hate farmers like me.

Has anyone accidentally seen you naked?

Actually, funny story but yes.
So you see, I was in the toilet on the first floor of my house and the window was open. Not a problem normally but there just happened to be a girl standing in the second floor of the neighbor's house and it was just awkward when I looked up and saw it open.

What's more awkward is that said girl xame to visit my house on that same day because she was a friend of my neighbour's daughter.

And that, kids, is why I always close the windows when using the bathroom.

If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches?

Because capitalism is built on top of a throne of lies and we kneel to it.

What are some things that offend you?

Ignorant people and people who insist on defending these people because "we have to hear what they have to say" or "you can't punch nazis"

How would you describe me in 5 words?

Distinguished gay and lovable nerd

How would you describe yourself in 5 words?

Spacing out always also lazy

How do you feel about genetically modified food?

Cool i guess

Is there anything too serious to be joked about?

Yes. A lot of things. Unfortunately, others didn't get the memo on the R-Word.

Could you be persuaded to kill someone? If you answer no, how much money would it take to change your mind?

Me: "Look man, I'm not going to kill someone for money."
Random guy: "The target is Bolsonaro."
Me: "How much do I owe you?"

What is your strongest personal quality?

I'd have to say my creativity. I know it sounds like bragging but I'm always having ideas about something, even if they're just goddamn ****posts.
The problen is that I rarely have the motivation to write down my ideas, I could have avtually written a book already because ideas certainly arrn't missing but why do I have to type words? When can I have a device to read my thoughts?

[Knight Dude]

Hopefully when this weekend I'll get to finish up the rest of Spider-Man PS4. I've really been liking the story and fighting mechanics. Hard to say if it has my favorite web-swinging, as good as it is, I kind of like the momentum of Spider-Man 2's and Ultimate Spider-Man's more. But the wall running, web-zips, and perch launching add that sense of speed too.

I'm excited to take on the Sinister Six though. I heard you take them on in groups of twos. Then I'll move on to post game stuff by finishing the Taskmaster stuff and fighting Tombstone.

I'm feeling lethargic af today.

Basically me everyday.

[KMDP]

Bigotry because that's basically the root of most of our problems.

I thought about this, and it's mostly true, though it depends on where you live and what your perspective is. The "most" of your statement is the important part, there are some problems that are entirely unrelated to bigotry, like Global Warming.

The biggest problem my home island is facing is actually immigration, our island is very small and can't handle the amount of foreigners who want to come into the island (population density and all that); for some reason our local government wants to keep allowing them in, while simultaneously building more finance districts and not the housing districts we need to sustain the growing population. A certain amount of immigration is healthy for a community, but at this point it's actually becoming a problem for us, which our government is choosing to ignore (perhaps to not be seen as racist?).

On another note, while I'm venting; our island has picked up some... stereotypes due to our history with taxation. Until recently, we were considered one of the "best" Tax Havens; and now, for some reason, we're now considered a rich community, over the years I've seen a disconcerting amount of ads talking about "Jersey Millionaires" (and I know it's not talking about New Jersey because they mention St. Helier, our main Parish). Trust me, we are not all rich on this island, anyone who tells you we are is stupid and/or a liar.

-I suppose racism would be one problem I would fix.
-I guess it might be nice to live in the '90s, I guess.
-I don't know what I would choose my name to be, as I like the name that I currently have.
-I haven't dated before and I'm not really seeking romance atm, so I don't really have an idea of what that would be.
-A cat, I guess?
-A dog, I guess? (They're my favorite animals, so . . .)
-Not that I can remember (or at least, that I want to remember)
-That's a good question that I don't know the answer to.
-I suppose it's difficult to truly offend me, but in general, I don't take kindly to people picking on those that are weaker than themselves (so bullying, basically)
-A cool guy who's nice
-Kind of smart, if quiet.
-I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
-Lots of things, but suicide is probably the biggest one that I can think of.
-No. You'd have to pay me all of the money in the multiverse, and even then I still wouldn't change my mind.
-I'm not quite sure what my strongest quality might be (since, admittedly, my self-esteem is pretty low), but my intelligence and how hard I work, would probably be too of my biggest strengths.

Kobe era is fine, current Lakers are just a meme. Still I'd prefer the Celtics anytime but I also not fond of them either.


But hey, her cooking is trash so probably her tastes on other stuff are bad too :V


Still gotta tell her about the true GOAT: His Airness, hopefully in the form of quests to find movies about 90s Chicago Bulls

We have even more racism though, don't think it's too different from the US.

It isn't really different anywhere. Same **** really.

A lot of people like to think racism is a mostly white on black USA exclusive affair, but around the world you're going to find alarming cases where you can pretty much put any group of people in the oppressor and the oppressed and have it be real and accurate.

Does America have problems with racism? Yeah, it has a lot of all sorts and its unfortunate.

But if we really want to stop racism, we need to accept that anyone and everyone is capable of it and has done it to some extent.

A history teacher of mine said it best. Studying history is learning how awful your country has been. Then its looking at how awful everyone else has been. Then you start to understand the scope of these problems, how deep rooted they are in all of our cultures and just how far the pain has reached.

tldr: people are racist dude

This brings to mind that bunch of comments the Main Discussion thread got from 5ch a few months ago (I think it was a discussion on the Grinch Leak?) where one of the commenters was incredibly racist to a Korean person (literally calling them sub-human).

Now, on to the actual meat of the post; if we want to stop racism. we have to start by collectively ridding ourselves of the "Us vs Them" mentality.
