I've always had good luck with New Balance.
I think they're just as good but they don't look as cool haha
I've reached the age where looking cool is beyond my reach anyways.
Haha you sound like my dad, dude will roll around in jean shorts and white socks up to his knees
I'm the new dad, where I wear khaki shorts with a tucked in polo and some sweet sandals. Or my ironic t-shirt showing off my arrested development.
Jesus sandals and khakis shorts with a polo are like a timeless dad thing though, you're already fitting in with the other dads. Now you just need to drink IPAs or Belgian Whites and drive a Corvette and you're solidified in dadhood
My new hobbies are wine tasting, brewing my own beer, and complaining about how sports stars just aren't as good nowadays as they used to be.
There you go man haha, cars too, they just dont make em like they used to
Swap brewing beer with watching all the old early 2000's shows we never got to watch back then, and this is what me and my Poppa do on a regular basis.
Albeit people have largely conducted themselves appropriately in this thread, neither should be nefarious intent or accusations of prejudice and racism for suggesting certain solutions. Most of us have been a part of this diverse community for almost two decades. If any of us were surreptitiously racist, I would assume that the word would have come out by now.
Highly concentrated poverty, compressed into certain neighborhoods (mostly the South Side and West Side) and lots of gang retaliation/territorial warfare.
It's like that on the rez too, high poverty and substance abuse rates are a natural breeding ground for violent crime. Even in the less densely populated areas of the rez that seems to ring true, it is very easy for serial killers to operate out there, there are always several straight up disappearances of people, they're just randomly gone. Scary shit.
I didn't accuse anyone of that. Bad faith, yes, but being deliberately anti-black, no. That said, you can be part of a diverse community, not actually feel superior to black people, and still express anti-black sentiment. FChamp did just that.

He did, but does expressing anti-black sentiment for the sake of humor make someone a racist? Dave Chappelle has made a fortunate out of stereotyping Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians and nobody believes that he is a racist. There is obviously an audience that enjoys this type of comedy. Filipino Champ has always been a provocateur who loves assuming the role of a villain. After being a part of this community for more than two decades, he was eventually going to say or do something that led to severe consequences, and the watermelon picture that he posted was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Do I think he despises black people? No. Do I think what he posted was ignorant and insensitive? Obviously. Do I think he should be exiled from the community and banned perennially? No.
I think for Champ, a lot of the reactions to his comments are the chickens coming home to roost. Champ has made it his entire goal to build a brand off of being offensive, and it's clear that many organizers in the community have no tolerance for it anymore. I think Capcom put themselves between a rock and a hard place because they have made it clear that anti-black comments are worth indefinite bans. I don't agree, and I think the tournaments that chose to say he wasn't wanted at their tournaments for at least a year was a stronger response, but I recognize the difficult position they were put in. Indefinite bans for everything is not the answer, but until there is guidelines and process for determining that, it will be in this messy middle area
Not that I disagree with f Champs ban, but it would be hard to come up with guidelines for something subjective like what is offensive or too far, no? I'm not saying you're suggesting otherwise even, just curious what you think about that.
Fair enough. I will correct the record on the next podcast.
I understand and agree. However, first of all, I would argue that Nick Cannon has no political power. He represents no one. Second of all, the fact that the company fired him does nothing but promote cancel culture. He still believes what he believes. He is merely sorry that he was caught. Third of all, he is partially right. Europeans have acted like "savages" in the past killing each other and those who look different from them for thousands of years. He is ignorantly omitting the inconvenient fact that other races have done the same, though. Finally, one of his ex wives, Mariah Carey, has Irish ancestry because of her mother. She is half white. Nobody can possibly believe that the man is a racist. In a discussion, conversation, and debate, people sometimes make ignorant claims, which does not mean that they should always face severe consequences. The culture and mentality on this issue must change.
It would be very difficult, and putting together guidelines or a code of conduct is a difficult process that requires lots of people of different backgrounds to really get the best sense of what is necessary to include. The only hard line you could draw at is people publicly using slurs, and after that it would get dicier. I think ultimately the safety of the community should be first and foremost; a person who stupidly says a slur but is equally quick to apologize for it is likely not someone who would continue to harm a community through their actions. If you pull a CeroBlast or a Champ, however, and apologize but then just as quickly double-down on what you said or dispute the response to what you did after you apologize for it, that's typically a bad sign
Nick Cannon doesn't have political power to actually affect policy, but he is one of the more well-known celebrities in the world and has about 5 million Twitter followers alone. It's safe to say that given his wealth and status, his platform reaches far more ears than 99% of the population. To say that he has no power is ludicrous.
WTF am I going to do with the ten thousand “YEEZY FO’ PREEZY “ hats I had made?Looks like Kanye isn’t running for president anymore.
So much for the galaxy brain 5d chess move that was apparently going to help Trump win.
Need to leave a note for Hector.
