Just heard this a few minutes ago from my girfriends 's Sister's boyfriend. "Don't say ghetto around me if you don't know what it means".

Not really. That's like telling someone not to say Rich because they don't know what it's like to be rich. It's stupid. lol
Eh, you kind of have to understand the background behind the pre-WWII Jewish ghettos and how/why the word was adapted to describe Black-majority poverty regions. I guess it also kind of depends on what ethnicity she is

Notwithstanding the origins of the term (middle ages), in the last centuries the Jewish ghettos were not the only ghettos. Specially considering that by current definitions "A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, typically as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure."
I can think of many groups that definition would apply to.

White people lived in poverty back then to so I don't understand your "flawless" logic here. Like we get it, white people did some fucked up shit but I shouldn't have fingers pointed at me and limited vocabulary so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. People need to get over it.

Erm, I thought this was an exchange between the girl and someone else... why is this suddenly about you?

I personally just avoid saying things if they clearly offend someone, unless it's a misunderstanding on their part. The way I see it, if it means enough to them that they ask you to stop doing it, it's just better to be polite about it

I wasn't making it about me. I was using myself as an example. lol. Nothing is offensive about saying ghetto as long as you don't use it as a offensive comment. Basically my point here.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
