What you did today
SD card reader did the trick...sort of. 16 MB/s is better than 2, after all. Next hurdle is the player not liking one or more of the songs as it hangs after processing the file. Shouldn't be too surprised that one of the files I got over the past 18 years or so is corrupt or finicky. Plan of attack is go folder by folder to locate the problem files

Dear Black People
Which ? Given the context, I took homogeneous to mean people are pretty uniform in race. Ginos is just a term in Toronto (maybe Ontario) for a certain subset of Italian dudes - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gino . My HS was rife with them, so still retain a bit of teasing at that group. Yeah, but not a fine a level. Laughing a bit at that being bigoted as I didn't mention any specific race. Well, unless you consider ginos a race.

Can fly in Legion at last. So leveling alts is less painful. Less exposure to ganking as well, always cracks me up to hear "pvp" folk whine about that as if they seek a worthwhile fight.

Dear Black People
Really ? If his country is homogenous then yeah you are around the same people as you. Nothing at white people being the same. Just that the ginos aren't a good sample of diversity to have, what with the techno and Kappa gear everywhere.

Hah. I took Latin for 3 years. All I remember is Caecilius in horto est ...did everyone learn Latin from the same books? In the Commonwealth, I think so. Good books, made it easy to learn and had somewhat interesting storylines.

Dear Black People
Bit boring, though. Why? Is nice being around different people now and then. Well...maybe not the ginos.

Dear Black People
Er, where is it acceptable to say whitey or cracker? I imagine you'd get into a lot of trouble at work for that

Dear Black People
Ah. In my experience it's always been used to describe something formal so to speak, so hiring, renting, cops, etc.

Dear Black People
It is common to label people saying epithets as being discrimination ? Sports fans is one group that doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt for anything, incidentally.

Dear Black People
Really and how often and can you give an example of what the "race card" being played is to you ? One has to live under a rock, close their eyes and ears, or truly have a broken brain to not see it played nearly everywhere. Modern society is inundated with it. Drowning in it even. It's plastered everywhere in the 'Mainstream Media'. It's legally institutionalized in 'Affirmative Action', the 'Civil Rights Act', et al Touted over and over by referencing a 'Civil Rights Act' as some sacred and holy thing. If you question or have an issue with the aforementioned Act in any way, you're racist. If you question or have an issue with Immigration in any way, you're racist. You apply for a job, insurance, file taxes and many other things,you're asked what 'race' you are. 'White guilt' If you question of have issue with Islam, Muslims, or anyone hailing from a predominantly Islamic part of the world, you're racist (neverminding that believing in religion X doesn't actually change one's race) If you question or have issue with Israel, you're racist (neverminding that believing in religion X doesn't actually change one's race, but good luck telling that to those who actually think they are literally a master race and God's chosen.) If you thought or dared to say anything negative about Obama, you're racist. If you voted against Obama you're racist. (Voting against Ben Carson isn't). 'Uncle Tom' in modern pejorative If you post a video such as I posted on a forum, some people will get uncomfortable and triggered BLM, BET, National Association of Black/Jewish/Asian/Latin/etc (fill in the blank), etc (one can go one for a LONG time here) Good luck forming a 'National Association of White' anything and not being called a 'racist' or worse. All sorts of things associated with 'Native American' X Constant references to the 'KKK' I could spend an hour or more listing things off the top of my head, and anyone with a brain could spend a lot more time that than compiling a list way longer than what I can come up with in an hour. Not to mention the oodles of things that aren't easily summed up in a sentence, or other things that could be that if mentioned would trigger some here on the most extreme level possible. And we're just talking about the 'race card', there are other related things that could be mentioned (such as 'Sexism')... Well, you've 6 duplicates there . But playing the race card shouldn't be conflated with a serious belief one is being discriminated against, at least I've always seen it as someone trucking that out as a cheap dodge rather than actually complaining of facing bigotry. Isn't it illegal to ask for race when applying for a job, apartment, etc. in the US ? Heh, the "White Students Association" thing is funny in that I wonder at what group is it for. At least in Canada, whites tend to be grouped by their heritage - well or just boring caker WASPs maybe - so you'd see associations for Serbs, Germans, Scots, etc. alongside clubs for Persians, Indians, etc. Also doesn't help that the people tending to form those groups aren't making it with much of a positive intentiion.

Dear Black People
Thought that was SEXISM, Volo. "This was a whitelash against a changing country. It was whitelash against a black president in part. And that's the part where the pain comes." Doesn't seem to be most prevalent excuse for her loss though, figured Volo should have gone after the meatier one.

Dear Black People
Yeah but that line of thinking permits excessive force because the guy was a criminal. Good wank fuel for authoritarian types, I guess. In any case, BLM does at least raise an issue worth looking at, it's not some attempt to shield criminals or something.

Dear Black People
Whole organization spawned from police shootings or black people dying as a result of police action (and cops walking, I guess). Which can be an independent issue from the crime blacks cause (people not being fungible).
