... if it means anything, I think the qualification for legal native american status in the US is either 1/16th or 1/8th. One great or great-great grandparent, something like that.

The answer is tits, doof. Voluptuous destroyer tits.

Just... check the first post. It changes occasionally.

It's definitely a question of what you want to do. Most college students can very much easily get everything they need for college out of a piddly sub-$300 laptop that manages text editing, maybe a little multimedia editing, internet, and basically nothing else. In some ways, it's even better for them to run cheap, since there's less they can run on it and it's more difficult to make it both a distraction from schoolwork and an expensive distraction from schoolwork -- plus if something goes wrong (like a particularly bad roommate that manages to defile the machine to the point of non-functioning, or whathaveyou) it's considerably less of a loss.

Personally, I'd recommend getting a cheapo machine, maybe even second-hand, and set aside whatever extra you were intending to spend for after college, when you'll have a better idea of exactly what sort of machine you'll need for work or leisure, as well as being in a situation that's considerably less likely to have something go wrong (you'll also be considerably more likely to be able to get a notably stronger machine for the same price at that point, for what it's worth).

Other than that, listen to the folks above me -- their words are truth.

The quote basically re-defines racism as not at all what racism is, then says "see, black people can't be that".

I think her PoV was associating racism == the treatment towards blacks, instead of knowing what racism really is.
Misunderstanding there, it seems.

Or just thinking systemic instead of individual, and not thinking to expand consideration beyond their immediate culture. I'd call it more miscommunication instead of misunderstanding... assuming the person attempting to persuade wasn't just making a blatantly ignorant statement, anyway. It's one of those topics that can get muddied simply because there's not really a single sort of racism, despite us only having one word for it (barring adjectives, anyway).

... so what's this about the duma and... something about east germany?

... if we were going for stuff like that, I'd want a side story telling the tale of that MS that got headshot.

It'd be nice to see how a grunt mech pilot makes it to national level to begin with, y'know? Plus it could be the most amazingly troll ending scene, ha.

1) That's probably not bloodless.
2) They can still scream without a tongue. Go for the vocal cords and maybe collapse the lungs a lil'bit.
