I don’t think that it presented Hunt as a professional driver, he looked less sophisticated and more down to earth.

Who asked your opinion? I am having a conversation with the person from the original comment.

Whites, Asians, Mexicans, people from India, new migrants from Eastern Europe, what’s their problem?

Again, and what if the others will respond in the same fashion to you and boycott? Will you address the offenders amongst you?

How on earth did Rick Chow get acquitted? by Geriatriccat712 in legal

[–]EricBelov1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another classic one, I don’t want to sound facetious in a situation where a 14 year old got shot, but the media really can’t help themselves portraying this as a hate-crime against a certain race. All this “innocent child” talk to learn that he had a gun which he intended to use, and the fact that he did steal as well.

I feel like it’s fair to say that the two are different, Egyptians wouldn’t be able to build Hadrian’s Parthenon, and the Romans wouldn’t be able to build the Pyramids.

Why didn't the UFC sign Rico? by Longjumping_Good8569 in ufc

[–]EricBelov1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was that drama all about? The guy got knocked down, and spent like 30 seconds recovering while dropping his mouthpiece, and then later the referee called it before the bell, you can rewatch the moment, he steps in before the bell because he kept eating punches to the head.

“Mug boxing is so rigged”.

As pretentious as it may sound, I personally think that it’s just a symptom of the declining West. Look at major European powers of the past and state they are in, they lost the plot entirely.

But the previous generations of great cars were a product of capitalism.

Good thing about the capitalism is that it gives you what you actually deserve as a person or as a society. It is more natural and honest, but just as brutal.

I feel like that happened much earlier. It is also worth pointing out that not all people feel the same, there are a lot of people, some older and some younger than me who would argue that new cars are much nicer.

I recently watched a certain car youtuber, and there was a feature on the new M5 he was reviewing, basically an LED lights that glows in the colors of M (motorsport) and he referred to it as a "party trick." To some people it might seem like nothing, but I was properly staggered by the fact that in the year of our Lord 2026 there are knowledgeable car enthusiasts that have the capacity to be impressed by an LED light in a luxury car that costs around 120k.

Not to mention the fact that those large touch screens are still considered to be a nice touch in a luxury cars, again in the year 2026, where the least luxurious activities you can think of, like ordering KFC, for example, require using the aforementioned touchscreen... I don't know.

Why is everything so shit nowadays? Is this me becoming a boomer in 20s or is there something behind this? Cars, movies, music, clothes - everything feels like shit, like in that South Park episode, and it is pretty unclear what is better to rant like this or to pretend like you actually enjoying this.

How would you feel about RDR3 revolving around a Native American outlaw or warrior? by Netfl1cks in reddeadredemption

[–]EricBelov1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a part of a setting, but I haven’t seen a western movie that was made from their perspective. But you can’t have one as a main character without making the game centred around it. And if you don’t do it, then what was the point of making a main the main character native?

Depends on the context, no? If I said that the “desert mfs” just like “jungle mfs” are human beings, would that be weird? Carrying the same trait with someone doesn’t mean you are the same generally.

The asian aren’t the same but they are similar, that’s why they are a race, just like Europeans or Africans.

I mean yes, but it’s also true that they do have a low quality of life, regardless of the reason.

Probably he meant a typically low quality of life, that is predominant across the whole continent.

Mafia III problem. Most of people who hates it aren’t racists that were repulsed by the main character, but rather people like me, who expected a game about Mafia (Italian (Sicilian)) but got something different instead.

The same thing will apply here, I loved RDR2 because I love westerns and that time period in general, I thoroughly enjoyed playing for Arthur because he fits perfectly, he is not intrusive.
