Probably having to go back to the ranch because DFCS is made of failure. Also, my best friend abruptly stopped talking to me, blocked me on Facebook, and won't answer her phone. I want to know what I did wrong so I can fix it, but... Oh, and her fiancee hates my guts, and is likely behind this. So yeah.

Don't know if I've said this before but:
The "Africans sold themselves into slavery" line I here from slavery apologists.

I'm sorry, I didn't know Africa was a single unified nation with a uniform ethnic group and religion backround! So nice to know the backround of an entire continent can be lumped together like that!

Seriously, people never talk about Europe or Asia like it has a uniform culture and people.

To be fair, I've lost count of the number of people who refer to everyone in East Asia as Chinese, and get pissy if you correct them.

People can be racist in all sorts of fun, interesting ways!

Really? Here in my neck of the woods, anybody who comes from a Spanish  (or Portuguese) speaking country is a Mexican. Same thing though when you go to correct them.

Ouch. That's not pleasant.

(Does Portuguese sound similar to Spanish if you're not familiar with either? I can't really judge, because of course they sound different to me, but...)

There are definite similarities, but I can tell the difference.  Then again, I'm bilingual, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

Speaking as someone who can only recognize English and German readily, Spanish and Portuguese (and Italian, but not French) sound alike to me.

Spanish and Portuguese are kind of close. At least close enough to get the Brazilian guy called a Mexican.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Fucking Teen Titans Go.

The show is legitimately worse than Johhny test. At least that shows protagonist idn't seem like someone who would subscribe to The Redpill.

Yeah I kinda refuse to watch it because while they got all the voice actors back, it has none of the spirit of the original show.

Its sad, because Teen Titans, while a bit campy, was legitimately good and very watchable.  What little I saw of it was...highly disappointing.  None of the subtlety, little of interest, and the Titans had all been reduced to bare-bones caricatures of the relatable, likeable originals.

I'd wonder why the original got shitcanned, but then I remember that children nowadays are utter, complete simpletons and Cartoon Nitwit has been pandering to the lowest common denominator since, at least, they started airing live-action bullshit.

Cause they didn't get any more episodes ordered.

That's it.  That's all there is too it.  Teen Titans had it's run and that was that.  No big mystery as to why it was canned, just ran out of episodes.

Ironbite-now Green Lantern and Young Justice those got shitcanned.

Huh, I always figured it was a case of executive incompetence, since that's what kills most good shows.  Still kinda sad, because they could've done a lot more with the series.
