And now for my most hilarious, thought-provoking, social-etiquette-criticizing joke you've ever read.

Who cares about Russians? They're all jews anyway

QFT.

That's a bit racist and xenophobic.
My statement was mostly anecdotal, so I'll admit that I can't really say that much. I don't have much facts to that, just feeling. It's more an observation than racism/xenophobia. I will say it's probably a limited observation obviously since I have not looked at data to back up my claim there. I'll drop it due to that.

Lol at you. Probably shouldn't be so confident on something you have no experience on. Adsolution as well. Both candidates sucked, this is true. Trump was spouting bullshit left and right so I really can't tell what his true nature is (regarding his thoughts on races/cultures). Funnily enough he's flip flopping on some of the things he heavily supported, which is actually a good thing.
As I've been saying for awhile now, Trumps stance as a moderate has been a public thing for a long time, and it's hardily a surprise that a reality tv star would exaggerate his way into office, although people doing research outside their shallow, one-sided media outlet is a rarity these days isn't it?

Credit taken then!
neo wrote:I should re-phrase. He shouldn't be so confident in saying those groups of people have nothing to worry about without either A) Being one of those groups and/or B) Living in America to have the same perspective as them. Especially in saying 'NOTHING'. That's a bit too over-confident.
Well to reiterate on what Ad, I live 30 minutes from Detroit (and technically live in an area referred to as Metro Detroit) and am transgender, although I rarely speak to often about the latter, as it tends to create more trouble than it's worth.
neo wrote:Interesting. Guilty as charged for assuming. I am interested to hear why he thinks there is nothing to worry about, though. The issue of racists taking a stand, however small, is not nothing. I should be fine since I live in a city, but to those in rural states or parts, I am not sure. I have no statistics though.
Quite frankly I've seen some pretty fucked up shit due to Hillary's loss, and no signs of these so called "racists" cropping up in DETROIT of all places (outside of the usual "pity me I'm black" mentality that's been brewing since 2010) I honestly think that if people learn to grow a spine and stand for what they believe in without converting to authoritarianism in the process (which SJWs and modern democrats have been doing, don't deny it!) we'll all get out off this fine. Without having to go to war with Russia too.

Quoting to alert you. I was looking for cutscenes of Rayman 2 and came upon this project you voiced for. Good stuff!

Why’d you snip the quote’s content?

Since it is unrelated to what I was talking about. It was the post at the top of this page so you know.

Ah, but by quoting Ad, RPC would give a notification to check what you said. phpBB3.1 niftiness, eh?

Thank you for clarifying it, I understand.

Yeah, I also get notifications when quoted.

Yeah, mentions would be better than empty quotes but that's a lot of work and we have more important stuff to deal with at the moment. It's quite sad that phpBB is nowhere near implementing such a feature though.

Nifty indeed. I might just be spoiled by other forums with mentions, though.

You could have 10 different people read those posts, and you'd likely get 10 different interpretations.

I already addressed this:
Adsolution wrote:(…)a forum post that maybe like twenty people are going to see, only a small fraction of whom are likely to be bothered by it, most of whom are probably only acting on behalf of those who might actually be offended by it, none of whom are likely to read my post.
I don't give a shit what their own personal interpretation of the post is, because it wasn't directed at them, and therefore isn't really their business. If they want to make it their business like you've just done, then their only concern should be whether or not there's actually a legitimate problem, and then digress once the air has been cleared. The last thing they should be doing is intervening to make some horrendously patronising, irrelevant point about political correctness when they themselves are the newcomer who doesn't yet understand the well-established culture of the room they've just walked into. Remember, I've been here since 2009.
You were the one who bumped the topic with your "nomination" three days after the conversation ended; there's a very real reason you and need my speed were accused of being triggered.

That is the gayest excuse not to use a word I've ever heard. It also ignores a point I made previously:

You are welcome. By the way, where did all those quotes come from? I think this might be the wrong thread.

Oh yeah - from the Rayman 1 thread. I added a link.

Oh ok. I read the thread a bit. I actually Like Mario games. Just not NSMB. I would probably need to play Rayman 1 and NSMB side by side to really see what I think is better control, though. So I can't say I would have a solid opinion of it. I will say that Sunshine is my favorite in terms of controls and being in 3D. 3D World is a bit more restrictive though.
I am not sure you guys know my sadness that there is yet to be a Rayman 4, though.
