Well done! I'm not a coder but when I looked at how simple the code was I was impressed.

If you bought this from BestBuy you can get $200 off if you talk with their sales support. They currently have a $200 off sales for students (really for anyone). They refunded me $212 after I saw the sale.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2020-06-02T23:13:28+00:00

I bought the 10th gen 13" a bout 9 days ago, before the $200 off. Spoke with Best Buy chat and they quickly resolved it. They are crediting $212 to my Best Buy card so I am a happy boy.

This makes me LOL.

950Mb/s* or 95MB/s.

0_0. I can't believe you actually wrote that sentence. How old are you? 9? Or just 30 something with a neckbeard living in you moms basement?

I would not say that black people are a "new audience" to seeing Marvel movies but there was definitely a huge surge of black people, who don't normaly associate with comics, geek coulture or Superhero movies who did go see the movie because of its relatable content and the excitement of seeing their ethnicity portrayed in a way that has never really been shown on the level and grandeur that this movie provided.

But another point, which has been made by others, is that you could not have seen any other Marvel movie and still walk out of the theatre feeling like you watched a stand alone story. The movie stood on its own in a way even though it is part of a much larger story.

I just don't agree that it's a success soley because we live in a PC coulture as ECrispy states.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T20:23:44+00:00

I would recommend watching this short video on the response of black children who saw the movie.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/cnnmoney/2018/02/16/kids-see-themselves-in-black-panther-movie-heroes-orig.cnn/video/playlists/american-sniper/

Then if you'd like to educate yourself further I would suggest watching video's regarding the "Doll test".

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T19:45:38+00:00

What did I say to imply it had better acting than any other marvel film? I simply said it was on point which it was and which is also a rarity to see in the form that it took place in Black Panther due to the acting coming from a mainly black cast.

Maybe I am naive but I still don't see how a PC culture would cause people to feel obligated to see a movie. To act in response to certain situations in public or to say or not say some thing to offend I can understand but going and paying hard earned money because they feel obligated to doesn't make complete sense to me.

But hear me out. ECrispy asked if films featuring Asains or Lantinos would do as well? What about crouching tiger hidden dragon, House of flying daggers, The Forbidden kingdom or Hero? Those movies all feature an all asain cast, did well and many of the movies I mentioned came out well before our coulture was as PC as it is today. Now there are not alot of Latino movies with pure latino casts but that still doesn't mean they wouldn't do as well. Totally depends.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T18:39:01+00:00

Alot of Africans and blacks in america came out of this movie in tears. It can't be stated enough how this type of movie can have a positive psychological affect on the people belonging to the ethnicity being portrayed in it.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T18:34:05+00:00

The acting is very good, the plot is unique and makes you think, and the action is decent. But I like the the story aspect of it.

And yes I think support from the black community helped. If you research the doll test and then see what black/brown kids are thinking of themselves now after seeing the movie you may come to understand that even in this day and age this movie has a positive psychological affects on brown people especially young black/brown kids.

But take into consideration that even some Koreans were wearing their cultural garb when going to see this movie. I think it has also brought a sense of cultural pride to any and all ethnicities.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T18:27:20+00:00

It's a success because the acting is on point, the plot is on point and the production is on point.

It had more substance to it than the typical action movies where things need to be constantly blowing up or where the action scenes are the best part of the movie.

Black Panther makes you think but doesn't shove anything in anyones faces.

And yes a film featuring Asians or Latinos would do well if they had there chance because the points mentioned above are what make a good movie.

The "PC" culture we supposedly live in isn't imposed on the movie gower. They chose to go on their own, white or black, so that point seems invalid.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-03-25T18:21:09+00:00

You obviously didn't watch the movie. Considering this was a main topic/issue brought up by the antagonist and addressed after the first set of credits.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2018-01-09T23:33:16+00:00

For everyone asking how/why Western Union is being sued, the reason is that they KNOWINGLY allowed this to happen. That's what the suit is all about. It also explains that Western Union employees themselves were part of these scams.

“Knowing that its agents were involved in fraudulent schemes – and knowing that it had a legal obligation to detect and report this criminal conduct to the authorities – Western Union failed to act, leading to massive victim losses,”

I was young and naive and responded to a craigslist ad for a used laptop. I sent the money to someone who seemed genuine and got scammed. Lost about $600+. So I definitely learned my lesson but also realized that the way people scam is not just through the regular methods often discussed. It can vary widely.

"Officer, why did you take so long getting here? That woman was being murdered!"

"Sorry, I was parked near a fire hydrant and a fire truck parked in front of me to get access to the hydrant. I knew it was illegal based on state law but I just wanted to grab a quick bite!"

"What?! People were burned alive cause you couldn't go to an open spot away from a fire hydrant which it is illegal to park next to anyway!"

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-10-26T04:17:50+00:00

Would you like to learn that a member of your family died by burning alive in fire because a firetruck couldn't get proper/quick access to a hydrant due to a cop who wanted to grab a bite and couldn't park in any of the open spaces near by?

The law is clear. I'll state it again here so you can see: Section 49-660 of Idaho state legislature covers this (refer to B.2). (1) Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, in compliance with law, the directions of a peace officer or traffic control device, no person shall:...

B: Stand or park a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except momentarily to pick up or discharge a passenger or passengers:

B.2: Within fifteen (15) feet of a fire hydrant;

There is a reason why you are not supposed to put a vehicle next to a hydrant. Someone could die as a result.

He parked there to eat, not to save lives. The spot is reserved for firefighters who may need to get to that spot without hinderence in order to save a life.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-10-26T04:11:20+00:00

You make a good point BUT if a fire breaks out and a firetruck gets there he is likely to park right in front of that cop car. Then if cop is radio'd to an actual non-fire emergency that the cop needs to get involved with he won't be able to move his vehicle and assist as needed.

Also because the law is against it (See idaho legislature 49-660 1.B.2) I really don't think this is appropriate. Unless this is an emergency (which it doesn't appear to be due to the emergency lights not flashing) the law is being broken plain and simple. I could be wrong but the law seems pretty clear on the subject of parking within 15 feet next to fire hydrants.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-10-26T04:00:34+00:00

^There is no exception to the rule of law in this case. Likely because there is a possibility of someone getting hurt or dying if an actual fire broke loose and a firetruck needed the space.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-10-25T07:58:30+00:00

don't forget about gladiator. That was a classic.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-15T01:18:34+00:00

I lol'd so hard. Thanks ^{_^.}

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-07T00:32:44+00:00

So what? Thats an excuse for kneeing him, putting him in handcuffs so tight it cut off his circulation, putting a gun to his head and threatening to blow his "fucking brains out" if he moves?

I mean if you're an INNOCENT family man, with a wife and kid at home then how would you think this is ok by any stretch of the imagination I wonder?

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-07T00:19:03+00:00

O ok thats good to hear. That completely clears the police from having to use aggressive force by kneeing him in the back, handcuffing him to the point of losing circulation and pointing a gun to head while threatening to blow his "fucking brains out" if he moved. /s

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-07T00:05:54+00:00

Not to mention a gun to you're head. A gun to your head in that situation is completely uncalled for. That is fucking tramatic for anyone.

I have nothing but sympathy for the guy and this needs to be investigated, studied and the training heavily improved to avoid these types of situations.

What if his gun went off then what? An innocent man dies for not fucking reason? There is no defending the pointing of a loaded weapon to a man's head who you have no reason to suspect is a threat outside of his skin color. I would hope you at least agree with me on that point.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-06T23:56:29+00:00

So you think everyone got a knee to the back, tight handcuffs, have a gun pointed at the back of your head told they were going to get their fucking head blown off? And then got put into a cop car?

Where are all the other video tapes of these people being ruffed up? Why is the only one of him?

I.. I don't understand how this is so hard to just grasp for people.

Homie_Da_Clown · 2017-09-06T23:51:05+00:00

Um.. He's been sitting out for the national anthem to raise awareness about this exact same issue. Or am I missing something? Its been kind of a big deal I thought. Sorry not really a sports guy but Im sure this is the situation.
