If you haven't heard Wallen got outed for saying the hard "er" and Durk has worked with him recently. I sincerely doubt Lamar is dumb enough to work with him, but Durk has sold out, as expected.

I mean, did we really need a study for this?

The urge to drag, get outraged, or write thinkpeices on certain phenomena like the Fresh and Fit podcast, DJ Vlad, DJ Akademiks posts, or a lot of these blogs like SayCheese, The Shade Room, and the like needs to be quelled. I understand that they know which clips to use to generate certain reactions, but we as a community have to use our heads to dismiss if not ignore them completely.

Kevin Samuels is the most recent example of this, we didn't even know who he was at one time. After the model date he went on(which I believe they were both in on for views) and a couple viral videos shoot around, he's an internet household name in the community. Some love him, many hate him, but all sharing takes on him did was keep him in trends for a solid amount of time. People that don't like him that post hate thinkpeices about him are doing him more of a favor then those who choose to ignore what he posts.

I've blocked or refuse to even engage with many subjects, products or people, for the simple fact that I don't want them to trend. Collectively it's easier said than done, but if this message can spread more things might change. In the meantime do it for your personal well-being.

Looks like the WS are stepping up the terror tactics. I urge all of FBA to please prepare yourself, these white supremist are itching to war with us and, they are inching closer to their goal. Keep that power tool and kandy bar fully operational and handy!

At least seven historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats Tuesday afternoon and evening, according to school officials. The threats forced campuses to lockdown or evacuate and local law enforcement was alerted.

The title is the tone of this whole post.

I feel that we have "jumped the shark" and I am all out of understanding.
A "born female" told me that she is a "Medusan". I went to trusty google to see what that was:

Medusan

Medusan refers to someone who is alterhuman, non-human, or otherkin who is attracted to other alterhuman or sapient non-human beings. This includes attraction to sapient monsters, aliens, and mythical creatures. This attraction can be exclusive, or one can be attracted to humans as well. A...

I can't believe WTH I am seeing. She was serious.

I'm not really understanding what people need as far as their junk needs to be stimulated or for their self expression.
Wear a wig and heels if you want, I don't care. Wear suspenders and a bow tie if you have a vagina, I don't care.
I get tired quickly with all these new names.

Help me, how do you deal with the infinite "titles" that we have today?

I've seen countless videos of white boys wearing, showing off masks that could easily be mistaken as real in the right lighting (at night) this isn't new and I can only imagine how many crimes were credited to black people, who weren't even black.
The fact there's a company that even makes these masks makes you ask... Why?

Willie Stokes, freed from a life sentence after 37 years, was ready to hug his mom and get a corned beef hoagie Tuesday when he walked out of a state prison.

Stokes, 61, of Philadelphia, greeted other family members when freed Tuesday, because his mother was too nervous to come.

"Today is a tremendous day. We're all very thankful," said his lawyer, Michael Diamondstein. "However, it's also a sad day, because it reminds us of how lawless, unfair and unjust Philadelphia law enforcement was for so long."

Stokes was sentenced in a trial influenced by detectives who allegedly offered a witness sex and drugs in 1983 in exchange for false testimony.

So when will his justice come? This happens too damn often. They throw black men in prison who legit did nothing and then manipulate them to confess things they never did or they plant fake evidence on them. I am happy for him but at the same time knowing this man was robbed of 37 of his life, it makes me sick.

I think we all have those turn-offs that signal something in our brains that makes us think "hell no" when someone we thought was attractive does something not up to our standards. In terms of bad habits or general habits you don't like, what are some that would put you off from dating someone you previously found attractive?

For me, one big one is excessive drinking. If you want to drink and party, you do you but I can't commit to something like that. I didn't like this when I was younger but now that I have future plans and want kids, that simply will not fly with me.

I have never heard of this woman nor why people are buying this. But it's almost time for us to migrate to another planet, away from these people.

Flatulence can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include having gas or food intolerance.

Eviction in the United States refers to the removal of tenants from the location in which they are residing.[1] Within the United States, eviction rates vary heavily by locality.[2] However, historically, there have been trends in domestic eviction patterns during certain time periods such as during the Great Depression and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Very nice but the <math.h> can tweak this and the optimization would make up for the speed aspect.

Fast inverse square root, sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5F3759DF, is an algorithm that estimates 1 x {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\sqrt {x}}}}

${\frac {1}{\sqrt {x}}}$

, the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of the square root of a 32-bit floating-point number x {\displaystyle x}

in IEEE 754 floating-point format. This operation is used in digital signal processing to normalize a vector, i.e., scale it to length 1. For example, computer graphics programs use inverse square roots to compute angles of incidence and reflection for lighting and shading.

Surprised Da Baby is still so high after that Rolling Loud fiasco. But geez man, how did we get here? Last decade the most popular ten were Kendrick, Cole, Drake, Meek, ASAP, Nicki, and a varied bunch afterwards. I think I give up on the mainstream variation of this genre lol

I'm pushing forty, and growing up anything that was older than 1990 at the latest, maybe 1992 as time went on, was considered old school. Now that hip hop is older I might have to change that because of how old it is, but it's really hard to say an album like Get Rich Or Die Trying is "old school".

I'm really interested in where he's going on this album. Many didn't care for the pseudo New Wave sound on After Hours, but I enjoyed it a lot and believed it was one of the best albums of that year. Usually it takes some time for music to pick up steam but this album coming so early is gonna put a lot of pressure on other popular acts like Kendrick for example.

In my youth I would be out there acting a fool. I liked Rappongi in Japan but Thailand, I hear is off the charts. Everything is cheap.

OGRE3D

What is this?

This is the complete API reference for OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine). Contained within are the specifications for each namespace/module/class and the methods from those which you can refer to when writing code which uses OGRE.

The API references for some of the previous OGRE versions can be found under the following link: https://ogrecave.github.io/ogre/api/X.Y (replace X.Y with the version number, for example 1.10, 1.11, etc.).

It's so BIG!

Yes it is (and thank you for noticing). OGRE is a large and complex system so the API documentation, whilst fully inclusive and the most complete reference to OGRE that you'll find, is not the recommended way to start learning. You will certainly want to refer to this documentation once you have found your feet, and pretty soon referring to it will become second nature. Until then, you should begin with more "discussive" documentation such as:

The Manual: The OGRE manual is a general introduction to the OGRE principles and core components, and a reference to various important parts of the OGRE system, especially the script syntax for materials, particle systems, and overlays.
The OGRE Tutorials: This is a gold mine for new and experienced users alike.

We make an effort to document our classes fully so we hope you can find what you need here. However, if you can't find it, or you're not sure where to start looking, visit the main OGRE website and dip into the community areas like the wiki and the forums to get some assistance.

Whoever said to change the conversation away from Michael Jackson needs to zip it. Just zip it, just zip it, just zip it. BTW, YT people's track record of a lack of hygiene goes back several millennia. No surprise there. I bet dan patrick does not wash his hands after using a public bathroom and he does not shower every day, maybe every 4 days. Yeah he got omicron, good. This is a Petty Pendergrass Production.

The tweet says lyricist/rapper, but we can include hits(group songs included), discography, and anything else. I believe that Push is better, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

Big Fun in the Big Town is a Dutch music documentary made by the VPRO in 1986. It was directed by Bram van Splunteren and presented by Belgian TV presenter Marcel Vanthilt. The documentary was shot on location in New York City and consisted of two parts, one about rock singer Iggy Pop and the Stooges, the other about the American hip hop scene. The latter turned out to have a much bigger impact on the Dutch music scene and enjoys a cult classic status among hip-hop fans. The documentary was made in September 1986 in eight days time and filmed in the streets of New York City. Vanthilt and his four Dutch colleagues had hired some body guards for protection from local street gangs. They managed to interview several important pioneers of early hip hop, including Run–D.M.C., LL Cool J, Doug E. Fresh, Grandmaster Flash, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, MC Shan, Russell Simmons, Mr. Magic, Schoolly D and The Last Poets. Grandmaster Flash showed his talents in scratching and DJing, Doug E. Fresh did beatboxing on a busy street corner in Harlem, New York and LL Cool J still lived with his grandmother at time of recording. The documentary crew literally arrived at a turning point for hip hop. Run–D.M.C. had just released the single "Walk This Way", their duet with the rock band Aerosmith, which would cause mainstream acceptance of the genre by a major white audience. Because of this element Big Fun in the Big Town still provides a unique time capsule. - Wikipedia

I remember this, I was 17 (telling my age) when this came out ,the 80's were the best times for Hip Hop, everything was new and groundbreaking, from Breakdancing to graffiti the amount of fun we had back then is hard to explain. Todays "hip hop" , the feel the culture the fun... is not Hip Hop.
