I’ve actually discussed this in depth with one of my black co-workers. The conclusion is that different people have different ideas and feelings on the usage of different words. First, everyone unanimously agrees that the N-word is totally off limits, you can make an argument that some black people use it, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s use is regarded as derogatory. In general, with some exceptions, it is pretty much agreed that ‘black’ is the politically correct term. However, I worked in retail at a tobacco store long ago and would sometimes chat with customers and don’t remember how the conversation went, but I got called out for referring to a lady as black. She went to some length to explain that the color black is not an accurate description of the color of her skin. I’ve always thought the word “colored” started to get used in American history as a more sensitive word choice. It appears to have been the governments word of choice as seen on old signs during the period of segregation, this was a time period when the alternative that a lot of people were using was the N-word. In any case, colored does seem to be more the more accurate word than black but it just didn’t stick. African American was an attempt to turn color into an ethnicity. I think it was even considered the more politically correct word for a time. But one thing I learned (again got in trouble for ) is that not everyone appreciates being referred to as African American. Some black people just want to be called Americans. Some black people may not even identify with African heritage, they could be South American or European.

I am saying this as a US resident buying on eBay US. May be a totally different story if you are in an Asian country. Used to be able to get these for $20-30 each. People have been listing them for ridiculous prices lately like $50-80 each, but I’m not sure they’re actually selling at those prices. Some are more sought out than others as they are less common and can go for $100-200 Zoids, 4 in 1, and Bonk are the more desirable ones in your set. You appear to have some variants, the purple box that says For China Only is not present on all of the ones I’ve seen so far.

Anyone in Canada ever consider using a service like Grabr?

In my case it was probably around 10PM late at night, and I had taken a picture with flash on. So assuming the thing did cause the camera to break, it would have seen the flash. If I find that photo, it may give clues to what caused the camera to break, maybe other people got the same kind of distorted image while taking their last photo before a camera failure. Im not insisting that the thing I took a photo of caused the camera to break, it could have been a coincidence. Nor am I insisting aliens, this was in Virginia Beach, we have a base for pretty much every branch of the military within 50 miles

I looked around for that photo last night, didn’t find it.. it’s here somewhere though, I’ll find it if I clean up. The distortion on mine looked like a grey colored honeycomb grid pattern. I still have the camera, I wish Ben Heck or someone like that would take a look at it to determine the mode of failure. If it was the military, I’m suing them in small claims court

Ok found this video online:

I don’t actually have it, I found this picture online like 4-5 years ago and saved it. I just rediscovered it today

Haha I actually bidded on those earlier today. I didn’t realize they are fake, just assumed they’d be real since he said they are authentic in the listing. Good thing someone outbid me Honestly didn’t study the pics too hard, but I’d be able to tell if I could hold them in my hands

Is it a PS1 memory card? Is it legit Megaman merch or did someone just put a sticker on a generic item?

Hey just curious did you ever take a picture of a ufo only to get a distorted image. I just remembered reading your post about an incident maybe 2008-2009 when I was standing on the balcony of my apartment in Virginia Beach and I saw a large object hovering slowly above my apartment. It appeared to be hovering maybe only a couple hundred feet above me, moving at a walking pace and I was wondering how it was staying in the air, didn’t seem to have enough speed to create lift and didn’t have the sound of propellers. It must have been at least the size of a dump truck although I can’t be sure as it was night time and I wasn’t 100% certain of its altitude. There was a red light on it moving back and forth. I took a picture of it with my old school digital camera, that was the last picture I ever took with that camera as it stopped working after I took the picture. I’d love for someone techie to take a look at the camera and tell me what’s wrong with it. Anyhow, the photo was saved to a memory stick, I popped the stick out and there a very strange distorted looking pattern, but you can still see the apartment complex around the perimeter of the photo. I will post the photo if I can find it, I printed a few copies of it. I always wondered it it were just a coincidence that my camera just stopped working after taking that picture or if it were actually caused to stop working by the thing I took a picture of.

People like to see patterns. And they demand to see patterns

The reason it is not relevant is because they were in the heat of the moment at that point. You have to give some allowance for humans making mistakes in the heat of the moment. However, when the cops snapped to their senses and they realized that they should call for help, they should also be doing what they were trained to do, ie CPR, chest compressions. They had the tools and the training to do the life-saving and at that point they were aware that it was needed, but they just sat around allowed his blood to stop flowing. At worst, intent... at best negligence.

That’s irrelevant, once they decided to call the ambulance they should have been doing life saving measures, but he was just left there on the ground to die

Just to be clear, I don’t take sides with Chauvin, he or one the people with him should have been doing CPR until the ambulance could arrive, I think that possibly could have saved George’s life. However I watched several portions of the testimonies including the cross examination of the doctor who performed the autopsy. I believe his conclusion that there was no indication of asphyxiation, he was just doing his job, not taking sides when he prepared the autopsy report. So cause of death was probably not 100% Chauvin, if you disagree please listen to the cross examination. However his life could have probably been saved but was not, I think due to negligence. Afterthought, they really should have let this trial play out like a normal trial, not flooding the streets. I think there is possibility of conflict in impartial judgment of the jury, they may have been scared for their lives if they didn’t see things the way the narrative was pressuring them to see it. There realistically can be an appeal because of that, the judge even said so.

I doubt that’s the case. These consoles are built on an assembly line. Any minor changes to the design wouldn’t be worth the cost savings due to how relatively few units would need to be made without sound. They would have just used standard consoles

Are they subsidized or unsubsidized? Just asking because I think it’s better to not refi subsidized loans as there are benefits in the terms that you’ll lose when a new lender buys the old loan

If the videos that are circulating are actually alien aircraft, they’re not exactly undetected. They’re just keeping enough distance to prevent us from getting clear detailed footage

@JVOSS ok I’ve done my duty for this hobby

I don’t think JVOSS is actually suspicious. I think he’s just playing along because he wants to get me to take board pics

Only for you @JVOSS Your the pro, you tell me if it’s real edit: just retook the photo for better clarity on the chips

Pretty sure it’s real. These are both USA-2. The label type on ML2 is consistent with ML1. These are the typical type of label you see on players choice gameboy games. I’ll have to check to see if I can find any sample images of the ML2 USA-2 to compare. It has a stamp too: Edit: Didn’t find any images in Google images.. I’m pretty sure there’s a thread on here where someone else has one of these. But I’m not going to hunt for it, because I just noticed that SML2 USA-1 doesn’t have a seal of quality either and that ones pretty common:

I personally don’t believe in alien life. But just to play devil’s advocate here, if our current scientific understanding of the size of the universe and quantity of planets is correct, aliens statistically should exist. The only reason they would not is if (assuming evolution from non-living matter into single cells and eventually complex beings) we are the first to have evolved to the current state and we are just waiting for life to evolve as much as us elsewhere in the universe

That makes it extra cool

UFO’s seem to be getting some media attention lately. US Military sources have recently released footage of UFO’s they have been tracking during missions. There is also going to be a comprehensive UFO Report released by the Pentagon on June 1, 2021. What’s going on? Are these just top secret advanced US aircraft? Or advanced foreign country aircraft? Or could they be alien from outside of our planet? Or even extra-dimensional? ***Update: Report now available as of June 25 https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf
