Fixed my ps3 - in your face sony!
FUCK YOU SONY
So I just foolishly updated to PS3 firmware 4.0 (because if I didn’t I can’t access netflix, etc) and now my internet doesn’t want to connect - I’ve tried rebuilding the database, reinstalling the firmware and just about everything outside restoring it and/or calling Sony (which if forum posts are anything to indicate they will ask me to send them $99 and my system…...

Want to see what an ignorant racist hypocrite looks like? Here you go
This is meant to be more open-ended however I feel it needs to be said. About a month ago I graduated BU with two Bacherlors degrees, one in History focusing on Islam, the other in Arabic. At this point in time no employment opportunity seems to be remotely available to me outside of the undesirable possibility of working with the Dept. of Defense which for moral reasons let alone political ones I...

This is very disturbing but I think it goes to mention that this and similar tactics are adopted outside of Texas or the traditional “conservative” states. I remember in my High School (and I heard it was escalated and made even worse afterwards) there was a Police Officer, fully armed, etc who was at the school full time and would arrest people for fights, etc. Granted I went to a...
So throughout December, steam had all these wonderful/awesome sales on a bunch of kickass games which I was more than happy to take advantage of. The downside to that is that it made me realize that my Radeon 4850 is an aging card and if I want to play anything that actually looks good and came out last year, I need to upgrade. Oh the woes of pc-gaming/ #firstworldproblems

First of all, of course, fuck you! I’ve been expecting you for a while, and now you’ve finally arrived in droves to the inbox. I assume I’ve been linked to by some neo-nazi bullshit somewhere, but, you know, who really cares.
Congratulations for opening my eyes to a whole new level of hateful…

Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. Thy were talking about...

The Hate Recap: On the First Episode of Work It →
What a misogynistic piss-poor excuse for anything that resembles writing - a high school student could do better than this. Also “FRIENDS” sucked, it wasn’t funny or enjoyable in any way shape or form and was simply melodrama in the purest sense (drama for the sake of drama not any larger meta-narrative)

My Birthday
Three years ago from today Israel with full US support in its passivity was in the middle of “Operation Cast Lead” in which Israel used Apache Helicopters and other armaments supplied by our government to murder thousands of Palestinians - men, women, and children. As Lupe Fiasco put it “Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit”. It may be my birthday...
