Jagex and all white staff.
Sure, in a vacuum two equally qualified people of different races, doesn't matter which one you hire. But I think affirmative action is helpful in cases like these where there's a clear minority in one field (dunno about race % makeups of programmers but it's a definite male-dominated industry so let's say male v female since I'm talking more abstract anyway), affirmative action would mean hiring the minority which would go towards removing the stigmatization of said minority working in said field. I wouldn't be so quick to wholly dismiss affirmative action (you should probably distinguish it from the Equal Opportunities Act in your posts or you might send the wrong idea, haha). It's definitely imperfect, but I definitely think it's necessary at this point in time. I think we both agree on the Jagex issue though, there's nothing overtly pointing towards any kind of institutionalised racism.

Sure, his position may have been a little ridiculous, kneejerk, based on not a lot of evidence, etc., but to claim that race has nothing to do with employment is equally silly.

It's like you moved so far away from the door you fell out a window A nice idea. Completely untenable but nice I guess.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
I was v. impressed by it, the only thing I knew about Driver was that it was a kinda subpar GTA but this was rad as heck.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Have any English countries made any really good horror movies since like the 1990s? I've been on a horror kick and all the recent ones I've enjoyed most have been from France, Spain, Sweden, etc. On that note, though: Martyrs, [REC], Sinister, Insidious, Citadel, Stitches. All watched with a couple of friends. I think Sinister got the most jumps out of us but I really liked the atmosphere of Citadel. Martyrs and [REC] ofc were the French and Spanish movies previously mentioned and I think they were overall the best of the night. I really want to go see Mama but the cinema in town isn't showing it and our work schedules don't really line up well enough for me and my buddies to go down and watch it in Townsville

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
A better comeback is that people are neither keys nor locks and that's a dumb comparison and then you ride off into the sunset doing sick skateboard jumps while making fingerguns at the sad nerd you totally owned. pow pow pow

Not impressed by PS4
^I hear that, the 3 seconds it takes me to save an image and upload it to imgur could've been spent much better carefully crafting my posting on the Tip.it forums I want to say something but it'd be like stomping on a puppy someone just adopted.

I also don't care about the height of women which is why I instantly discount any that are the same height or taller than me

Another anti-intellectual, seeking to stomp out the arts. Why don't you just go cut some more funding or be an engineer something, you robot.
