Well I can tell you one thing, it's pretty fair to assume he didn't plan on getting popular by intentionally making his clock look like a bomb. What I can tell you though is that people are profiting off of a dumb story that has absolutely no substance or purpose other than to rake in money for sensationalism. This kind of media behavior is what has Americans so up-in-arms about racial tensions and issues. Racism isn't really that big of a deal in our country, just like there are very few bad cops out there, but if the media can get people to believe that broadcasting stations are responsible for unearthing life-threatening problems, they seem not only trustworthy to provide "honest" news, but also responsible for making sure the right people hear about it and the problem is solved. Sometimes the media is a watchdog, for things like Watergate. Sometimes the media calls attention to things not worth our attention though, like Deflategate. Can you blame them though? NFL playoffs in 2013 averaged 34 million views on wild card weekend, whereas the most recent republican debate averaged 22 million viewers. It's obvious what Americans are more interested in, so is it the media's fault for broadcasting, the people's fault for watching, or our fault for caring? Maybe a little bit of everything factors in.

ohh, okay okay okay. Sorry, I initially assumed you were full on /pol/.
Yeah, you have good points. Again, sorry, I didn't read your first post all the way through the first time, so I didn't see how wacky it got.
As for racism in America, I think it's hard for non-racist whites to really notice racism in America. We aren't racist, so we don't see ourselves act racist. We aren't a minority, so we don't see ourselves get persecuted. Granted, we aren't an extremely racist country, I just don't think its over yet.
and I think it is important that this story got attention. It's lasting longer than I think it needs too, but if it never got attention, ahmed would've gotten screwed and then nothing would have happened. At least this way he gets something back.

Racism isn't over, nor will it ever be, unfortunately. Institutionally, it virtually doesn't exist anymore except in rare, unpreventable, but punishable cases. Apart from institution, America is decreasingly racist as a society, and that's good. We won't see the change overnight like some mega leftists want to happen, because it's merely impossible. This kind of societal change will happen over a period of time that can only be sped up by us teaching our children of our own found virtue and wisdom.

The first teacher who saw it told him to keep it hidden.
It beeped in his sixth period.
Other teacher sees it.
What is that? I think I have to call the office about this.
Teacher tells office.
Office institutes hardline school policy.
Police arrive.
Not a bomb.
Police question kid about if he intended to cause a bomb hoax.
[police may or may not have violated a law here. idk]
Police are satisfied the answer is no.
Police let him go.
School still suspends him for a week.

this is the clarification.
I was really surprised the day this happen over summer, cuz I really liked the idea at first and saw everyone hating it.
So I had some discussions with people on Nexus forums, they all seemed to generally LIKE the idea of mods, which is funny because they were the ones who used the mods most.
It seems like the steam reviews or people who haven't played skyrim in a long time hated the idea, so I talked with people on funny junk about it, and when I wasn't thumbed down to -100 or had my comment deleted for just asking why people disliked it, I was linked to misquoted buzzfeed articles and posts from indirect sources instead of bethesda or valve themselves.

The main things I really heard were that they didn't set the profit cuts up too well, it might prevent future modding if developers only allowed mods to be added through steam or some other way, and they didn't have good protection against someone stealing someone else's mod and selling it as their own.

The only way this would've helped in any way is because it's forcibly supporting the creators. But Steam and even Bethesda took a pretty huge cut out of it, while they contributed nothing to the mod itself. The only reason they'd deserve any kind of cut is because Bethesda provided the base game and Steam provides a platform. So the system doesn't even do that well.

Adding an easy way to donate would have helped a LOT more than forcibly hiding the mods behind a paywall. These games depend an awful lot on their modding community.
There's also the fact that a lot of mods interlock. That just stacks the prices up to being almost more expensive than the game itself. And the game's price is still damn high for a 4 year old game.

Yeah, but that got revoked, so now it's illegal.

Anyone, while the concept of paid mods isn't horrible, from what I saw of people's reactions, the system implemented seemed rushed and incomplete. Maybe one day in the future they will spend more time on it and get it right.

Most of what people said was happening was either, completely wrong, misinformed, or twisted to sound bad.

Also someone keeps thumbing you down for no reason so im going to thumb you back up.

ditto

I can't confirm or deny if your last statement was true, but I'm not too concerned. It was nice to have a good discussion dude.

#144 - mendelevium (09/13/2015) [-]
this is the clarification.
I was really surprised the day this happen over summer, cuz I really liked the idea at first and saw everyone hating it.
So I had some discussions with people on Nexus forums, they all seemed to generally LIKE the idea of mods, which is funny because they were the ones who used the mods most.
It seems like the steam reviews or people who haven't played skyrim in a long time hated the idea, so I talked with people on funny junk about it, and when I wasn't thumbed down to -100 or had my comment deleted for just asking why people disliked it, I was linked to misquoted buzzfeed articles and posts from indirect sources instead of bethesda or valve themselves.

The main things I really heard were that they didn't set the profit cuts up too well, it might prevent future modding if developers only allowed mods to be added through steam or some other way, and they didn't have good protection against someone stealing someone else's mod and selling it as their own.

this is a pretty good overview I believe.

Valve has always taken that percentage.
Bethesda made the game, and the modding resources.
It makes sense they would get money from it too.
How is it that hard to believe?

the didn't set the cuts up well
#185 - kinginthenorth (09/13/2015) [-]
The only way this would've helped in any way is because it's forcibly supporting the creators. But Steam and even Bethesda took a pretty huge cut out of it, while they contributed nothing to the mod itself. The only reason they'd deserve any kind of cut is because Bethesda provided the base game and Steam provides a platform. So the system doesn't even do that well.

Adding an easy way to donate would have helped a LOT more than forcibly hiding the mods behind a paywall. These games depend an awful lot on their modding community.
There's also the fact that a lot of mods interlock. That just stacks the prices up to being almost more expensive than the game itself. And the game's price is still damn high for a 4 year old game.

I do know because I'm a completionist that does every plot line and I always play speech characters.

Anyway, that was just my two cents. Legion has some great stuff going for it, just like the NCR has its own things. If you could just mesh the best of both, that would be great for the Mojave, I think.

Really old joke. Back before the new levels, some dude misread my level as 10 levels above what is was. I corrected him, and he responded my editing my level, screenshotting it, and showing me. I thought it was funny, so I kept it ever since.

I didn't expect people to react that way to the post. I just kinda wanted to be like, "hehe, caught you."
