I really don't care if anyone doesn't like me admiring Obama or thinking he's a good president and I stopped trying to explain it, I don't owe anyone an explanation nor do I care what they think. They usually fall into one of these categories: 1. Conservatives who don't like him on principle which is fine, but there's really no reason to discuss a thing that's settled 2. People who are far to the left of him (though they tend to like him more often than not) 3. White people who are not necessarily racist but aren't comfortable with things associated with or important to black people (they usually complain when Obama says or does something "black")

I keep forgetting the Sox traded Trayce Thompson.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 17, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) Ezio Auditore sounds like a soxtalk display name of someone who is sure to cause a bunch of s*** for mods/admins to moderate. With that name you are for sure to be suspended or banned at some point. Maybe because all of the vowels? EHT-zeeyo Audi-toray

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Sox have a chance to get back on track here. Yes, they are 10 over but they are 5-5 in their last 10 & 7-6 in the month of May so far. This home stand is huge for them. If they can take 2 games in each, that'll leave them at 6-4 in that stretch & 30-18 overall. Really need to start seeing strong starts from pitchers not-named Chris Sale & Jose Quintana. Starts tonight with Rodon. Who the hell is this dude?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 17, 2016 -> 03:20 PM) I'm fake outraged by this thread. This thread is almost as bad as the WORST name change in the history of ALL name changes. A few years ago this name change would have led to me getting suspended. Nice try, Lostfan... I can still lobby for you to be suspended if need be!

Interesting, so I guess he had some early struggles adapting to the next level and he's getting more comfortable now.

I'd ban myself but I don't have the mod tools anymore.

Apple's default keyboard kind of sucks, I hate the autocorrect, and they somehow make SwiftKey suck on purpose.

Admins, please change my name to this

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Adewale was a goddamn tank. I'd have played a full game of Freedom Cry. There's just something viscerally satisfying about murdering slave traders, too.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) Only if you occasionally bust out "My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite post on Soxtalk." Ezio ... Altair Edward Adewale ... Everyone else Oh man, forgot about Adewale. Aveline with the machete is criminally underrated too, she could probably hang with Ezio in combat.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) There should be floggings for name changes for posters after they have been here for so long. Its either that or they should have to moderate game threads. This is supposed to be a punishment?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Now all we have to do is patch up things in our LGBT dispute, so the world can go back to normal and the White Sox back to their winning ways... I had nothing to do with that, lol

QUOTE (knightni @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) I figured that you were just a lost, disillusioned fan of sports. lost, geographically, isolated from other fans of my teams.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) In fairness, Ezio is THE Assassins Creed character. ACII is a fantastic game. ^^This. Levels of badassness of Assassins: Ezio Altair . . . . Everyone else

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Change it back. We all love lostfan. We all hate Ezio Bulls***ore. I'll change it to Commander Shepard.

The screen name predates the TV series, and everyone thought that's what it meant (it didn't). My original reason for having it (which also predates my being on this board) is obsolete and I just didn't bother changing it for years mainly cuz everyone was used to seeing my name but when I got back, I figured, f*** it.

Hillary's campaign is 180 degrees the opposite of what it was in 2008. Right from the beginning in the video where she announced it. Of course, it's easier to look good when you're winning.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) Ezio Auditore is a main character from one of the 19 indistinguishable Assassin's Creed video games. Hey now, be fair, it's from the 3 indistinguishable Assassin's Creed games with Ezio.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) Its crazy this is the last post in here. I just got a fire stick with kodi on it yesterday and was going to come on here and see if anyone else was familiar with kodi to get some app recommendations. So far Navi-X seems by far the best for movies. Im skeptical that any live sports will stream that well but who knows. I don't remember the name of the sports app but if you've ever streamed a NBA or NFL game off firstrowsports.eu or some similar site, it's basically that. They're so-so, and I haven't been able to figure out how to get HD. I'm probably doing something wrong. I haven't used Navi-X but I don't really imagine it would be that different for Exodus. All it really does, far as I can tell, is find websites that stream the movie. Only complaint I have so far is they're all with 2.0 codecs but if I cared that much I'd just get the Blu-Ray. Also I kept having problems watching Creed, where it kept stopping to buffer, but I think that was the site doing that. It's not my internet connection, I have plenty of bandwidth, and no other apps do that.

I left everything else the same, lol

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) That came from a Jill Stein interview or something, I'll see if I can dig that up. It was very much hedging about "oh well we need more research!" without taking a firm stance one way or the other. I think that's an example of playing to their base more than something Stein earnestly believes herself. They're also very strongly anti-nuclear power. The two major parties definitely do everything they can to entrench themselves, but 3rd parties are generally niche for a reason. Stein's an actual medical doctor so when I hear her talk about those kinds of topics it sounds like she's careful what she does and doesn't say. She's not gonna say something she knows to be outright false, like you'd see in a bulls*** link on Facebook.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) It's hilarious that there's even a controversy about traveling in the NBA. Yes, Westbrook traveled and dragged his pivot foot on that play. And he and everyone else does it the entire game. The traveling and dragging/moving/changing pivot foot makes the NBA borderline unwatchable for me. I don't even understand how you can play organized basketball your whole life and feel (in a physical-muscle memory way) like it's ok to travel. It feels so odd to me when I play to take an extra step. And pickling up or changing my pivot foot - out of the question. He dragged his pivot foot because he was stuck somewhere mentally between dribbling around the trap and pulling up to call time-out, like he didn't stop doing one thing before he started to do the other, and for whatever reason the refs didn't call it. OKC probably still wins that game though.
