Next game in Batman Arkham line
-
To be staged in Ferguson.
Evacuate the store-owners and bystanders, wall it up.
Watch as classic Batman villains evolve from the crowd.
There's bane breaking windows.
There's the joker pretending to protest.
There's the riddler, making us wonder why breaking the law is the way to protest other people breaking the law.
There's "two-face" reverends, claiming to want to move past racism.
Enjoy countless hours in Deadman Wonderland.

I even saw scarecrow once, but he thought he was some kind of hero.

It's their fault for putting "Queen" in their name.
Because, only white people can be queens. eyeroll
Queen of denial.

The whole "destroying the place you live because you are pissed" makes about as much sense as this:

And it is just as childish.

As a long time Cowboys hater, this made my day.
-
As a long time "guy who could not give a shit less about sports", I wonder how people get so wound up by something so trivial and something they are only a spectator of. My sister-in-law will get upset and cry when our football team loses. I just wish they would go to another city so that traffic downtown will not be so chaotic on game days.
-
I had a college roommate who was an obnoxious Cowboys fan. Prior to that, I was pretty neutral about them, but one Superbowl, he wore his hat, shirt and sweatshirt. I was cool with that. But then he showed us his Cowboys socks.
That was it.

I came here expecting some news I missed about Batman Arkham Knight (due out June 2015) only to find someone making a terrible joke about a recent event instead.
THANKS!

Could have been worse, he could have shown you himself wearing this:

Anything to brighten your day!

Next time a thug kills an innocent person, I'm going to rampage and destroy my local welfare office. I mean, who could work at a welfare office with good intentions?

To quote MST3K: "Can you trash a trash-house?"
-
Touché.
Of course, I feel like I cannot say anything further without seeming like a racist asshole.
-
"Your town will be on national television, how do you want people to remember it?"
-
Apparently, "As a place no one in their right mind would ever go to"?
-
hmm... now there's a mental image....
-
The goggles......
-
I am thinking that you like it?
-
depends.... which one of us would be wearing them? and how (also can i use a different logo if i'm wearing them?)

Because people feel part of the team. That's sports' main function. It satisfies people's desire to belong to a group, and they even get to "fight" other groups in a (mostly) non-violent way.
Obviously their team is the best, and will beat up the bastards in the other team, look how many people are proudly wearing their colours and waving their flags in support, because they're the best.

I get it, but it still seems fucking stupid.

I got my IP at work banned on slashdot today for posting about Ferguson. On a Ferguson story no less. This is not the first time the editors there have banned me from being able to access the site entirely due to disagreeing with my posts.
The pink ban page I get says it's because I'm using scripts to post or spamming or posting things that break the comment rendering or DoSing the site. This is what pisses me off. I am merely posting things that get consistently modded -1. I'm not breaking anything.
In the past, they usually just temporarily ban the IP for heavily downmodded posts. It's a ban message that comes up when you try to post anonymously. I've found when I really piss the editors off, they ban me from being able to access the site completely.
I mean, I didn't even hit my 10 anonymous post limit. Fuck slashdot. Bunch of agenda-driven fucktards.
Sorry for the offtopic post. This seemed relevant since the thread is about Ferguson, and I just found out I can't load slashdot about 10 minutes ago. God damn shit site with a shit community anyway.

I would never do that.

Just to play devil's advocate here... Look at how emotional a lot of people get about whether we put Pluto into a box named "planets" vs "dwarf planets". I suspect that a lot of them are not exactly in the NFL crowd.Granted, I doubt there's any video on YouTube of someone flipping tables because of the IAU, and a lot of the 'outrage' is in jest. But still.

I support Middlesbrough Football Club and we had a dog that would howl whenever they lost and whimper whenever they drew. What did she do when we won you ask? I don't know, we only had her 14 years.

From what I've heard, Americans are quite mild in their regard for sports.
I was in Costa Rica many years ago when they won a major soccer game. The whole city went crazy.
And I hear that in Osaka, Japan, people go to bars to watch a Tigers game (baseball), and whenever someone on your team is up to bat, you sing that player's personal themesong constantly, except for breaks whenever a pitch happens. You do not leave the room while your team (the Tigers, because if you live in Osaka, you'll be lynched otherwise) is up, and you can only talk or use the restroom when the other team is up.
Doesn't sound like fun to me, but apparently Osaka has the best food ever, so I still want to visit someday.
-
Basically you are saying, "The USA is less bats hit crazy with regards to sports." But the whole concept is still bats hit crazy to me. It is just a game and people are still just watching it and it still means fuckall in reality.
-
-
Damn you autocorrect.
-
Also, yes.

-
In my mind it does, plus I was on mobile at the time.

Yeah the actual sports are completely meaningless, it's just about tribal behavior and belonging. Same reason fanboys go nuts about Xbox vs Playstation or Unix vs Windows or whatever. It could be thimbles vs conkers, so long as there were clearly defined sides/teams to belong to or hate.
-
So does art, philosophy...
Hell, most of the products that get marketed mean nothing.
And if humans don't have a purpose, we might as well not exist.
And if sentience doesn't exist, the whole universe means fuckall.
-
To me, art and philosophy have meaning. I can even see meaning in playing sports. I am a competitive person also, I have just always played on a different field. I just can't wrap my head around getting all emotional about watching sports.
-
Same here. I don't mind playing sports though I'm not very competitive and just like to have fun. But here in Nebraska I find it absolutely ludicrous how so many people worship the Cornhuskers, and their entire life is centered around football. And people get seriously depressed when they have a bad season. The entire state grinds to a halt if there's a Husker game in progress.
I understand there isn't much to do in this state, but sitting on a couch and angrily yelling at the coach on the TV screen every day of the week ranks pretty low on my list of Things To Do When I'm Bored.
-
Individuals are unique, have unique thought, have personality.
As a group of humans, or even species, we are dumb, get way too emotional, start exhibiting illogical behavior, and follow patterns that make us look like a well predictable machine.
-
I always say, "I love engaging and talking with a person or small group of persons. It is people that I can't stand."

Is growing a beard based on your team's performance crazy?
-
depends.... which one of us would be wearing them? and how (also can i use a different logo if i'm wearing them?)
You could both wear them. Maybe on your head or something. Or maybe one hanging from each ear.I don't think they'd work as gloves though.
Interesting question: why is it a pair of pants? I mean, it's only one item of clothing, so why a pair?
-

Yes, so are rabbit's foots (feet? In this context I don't know.), four leaf clovers, lucky hats and all other superstitious BS.

Phew. I was worried you'd jinx my lucky pants.

Too late - I'm now wearing them backwards so you jinxed yourself.

The irony is that it works for one team, and fails for 15.

Growing a beard is never crazy.

The power of confirmation bias...

So this thread isn't about Arkham Knight at all?
