Blackface

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 Set Free

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."

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.

Habits that would put you off from dating someone?

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.

Job Opening

I wonder if I can make so money like this.🤔


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.

The Fast Inverse Square Root

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}}}}
{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\sqrt {x}}}}
, the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of the square root of a 32-bit floating-point number x {\displaystyle x}
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

What do you consider "old school" hip hop wise?(stolen question)

Login to view embedded media View: https://twitter.com/DJRTistic/status/1478439919596945409?t=2zsHDahTzizPMg9Bpj21ZA&s=19


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.

Mass Tourist Arrests In Bangkok

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.

Watch out for YT trolls Lordt these people like to be up in our business. Pfft, play in the street.

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.

Big Fun In The Big Town (1986) | Old School Hip Hop Doc

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.

Alarm Clock

I see news article and posts referring to the phrase woke. Im not being difficult but I dint get into the term woke. Ever. Saying I have been woke sounds lame to me. I never made a definition for how i felt and thought.I think my thoughts are normal regarding the climate of race and relations in society. I remember my very first "wake up". I was in second grade. I was going to a predom white school. I had a friend I played with everyday. His name was Jason Acuna. Jason appeared to be indian to me. Not like east indian maybe native american indian. Thinking about it now he might have been hispanic. Anyway one day we were playing and his parents came and seen us playing together. They called him and they went home that day.After that day Jason never said another word to me. Never. We were third graders.

Shannon, Let the music play

The year was 1983, when this first dropped every club in my city played this and it packed the dance floor.
There's something about the 80s sound that makes it timeless, I still play this today to get that nostalgic feeling. If you danced to this in your teens, you know how good the club scene was back then. No fighting, no shooting, no ratchet shit, just fun.
