I know I know… A slight joke 
Problem is they will break out the sometimes God uses evil men for a greater good like bringing on Armageddon.
I don’t know where to put this since we don’t have a MeToo/Sexual Harassment thread, and I’m sure this has been going on since before Trump, ldo, but yeah…gamers and game developers suck. And I love games 
Warning: this is a long thread with many links to other long threads. And it’s horrifying.

I’ve heard n***** openly directed to an African American at the table. I’m almost positive floor said 24-hour ban. This was at least a decade ago in a WV casino.

Poker players in general aren’t known for their empathy. No surprise that racism and sexism are common at the tables.
One of the main reasons I never hit the rooms anymore is because the people at the tables are just so goddamned depressing. You get better atmosphere at your average dive bar on Sunday evenings. The people all seem just miserable and the only ones who converse are the ones you don’t want to hear.
Guess that’s more an America thing.
Last time I went to a live game, people avoided that stuff since it’s so depressing.
I love not thinking about shit like Brexit every day. It’s been good for me mentally.
Yeah… Its hard to beat the Banter up here at the table, alough our Banter tends to be good anyways. 
And most stay away from politics etc as it tends to cause trouble.
I don’t even mean political chatter it’s just a lot of sad people passing the same hundred bucks around the table for hours on end who seem like they’d rather be literally anywhere else. I’ve been to three separate rooms over the past two years and they were all the same. Poker boom I guess
This is what lead me to stop playing live poker. I’d just find myself looking around the table and realizing that everyone there is miserable and asking myself why I want to be there.

I take a few trips a year to the Wynn. That’s the only room left on earth I enjoy playing in. The games suck, but it’s fun.

The degeneracy and total losers that congregate around poker tables is why i love live. I never feel bad about winning. It makes me play better
it’s like that joke about going to ihop to feel better about your fatness. if your feel like your life is in shambles, just go to a poker room at any time of day.

A woman who gave birth alone in her jail cell in Denver is suing the city after deputies and nurses allegedly ignored her pleas for help during about five hours of labour.
Surveillance video released by her lawyer show Diana Sanchez lying down on a narrow bed, crying out in pain, before she gives birth to a baby boy on 31 July 2018. An absorbent pad is slid under her door for her to put on her bed about 45 minutes before she gave birth. After she gives birth, a nurse walks in and picks up the baby.
Jesus FUCKING Christ. Imprison everyone directly involved. Fire everyone not directly involved.
this isn’t really American (I mean, I guess if you count Johnny Depp), but I have nowhere else to put it, but talk about YIKES. I mean, the racism to be intentional at this point, right?
Lol wow. This is why we need to reform our educational system right here. We need to start teaching people our actual history ASAP. I’m firmly convinced that we’d be a much better country with a little bit of realism about who we are as a country.
That assumes it was not intentional to create outrage so their new product get more coverage.
yeah, the cynic and misanthrope in me thinks that’s the case.
Ohh it got the coverage it deserved in my city… Every bus stop had this…
