I don't believe so. I don't even think you can do that.

He cannot, I asked him that last night. Basically, any accounts that didn't get restored or if the poster hadn't been active in a while were deleted since he didn't figure those people would be back anyway.

Well, I have discussed how my family, my parents in particular, are super shitty about racial issues, so, yeah, not a surprise. Pretty sure I remember them grumbling back then about how the black people were too sensitive and ruined the fun. Or something to that effect.

Yeah, I'm sure you had your beard when you were a kid.

I don't know if I've mentioned the sotry on this forum or not, but I remember being a kid in the mid-late 90s and my mom and her friends always did the lip sync contest for their company's annual family picnic. That year, they performed "Stop! In the Name of Love" by Dianna Ross and the Supremes. I remember them talking back then about how they wanted to paint their faces black, but the company said that was a bad idea and axed it. I think even at 10 years old or so, I knew that didn't sound like a good idea. They still did the routine, no face paint, but they had the dress and wigs and they won the competition anyway.

I was actually thinking about doing something like that. Let's see if Jason know any of those!

I mean, okay, okay, I see you're really insistent about how you've never ever watched commercials. I'm just saying it's been their slogan for around 30 years(I looked it up, they first used it in 1989), and given they're a high profile company that's been around a really long time,, a lot of people know the slogan. I was just surprised a dude had never heard of it before.

I was gonna say, I'm no expert, but it kinda looks like blackface to me.

Maybe I just have weird memory or whatever, but repeated slogans have a way of sticking. That's kinda their purpose.

I mean, I don't watch much in the way of live TV, either, but this has been around a really long damn time. Like, all my life.

You seriously never seen a Gillette commercial and you're, what, around 30?

I mean, like Eblazon said, it does fit with their tagline of "The best a man can get" and it's not like companies haven't been wading into social issues for quite some time now. It's not hard to figure out why they did it. Of course, sincerity is another issue.

I'm seeing some ads for Billie lately, but honestly, I'm content with DSC and I like their other products.

I have a friend who has been posting all kinds of stuff about masculinity and why it's needed since this ad came out. He's laughed at my jokes about all of it, but he still says he's never buying Gillette again. I think he missed the point of the ad. Also, I quit buying Gillette a while back and switched to DSC. I have no regrets thus far.

This was basically how my husband felt about it. It's nice being married to a guy who doesn't think he has to be an asshole to be a man.

That's what I've been saying! I don't believe in the invisible pink bunny floating over my head, either, but no one can say with 100% certainty he doesn't exist.

Eh, not really, because hardly any atheists are going to claim they know 100% no god exists. Like I said, it's a really pedantic argument in my followup post. You can call yourself a apatheist or whatever, but you're basically an atheist. Either you believe in a god or you don't. Apatheists can pretty much be thrown under the atheist umbrella.

I see why you no longer call yourself "smartestguyever"

Sorry, forgot.

I mean, I'm pretty sure humans have worn clothes long before Christianity and in societies that knew nothing of Christianity because we didn't wanna freeze.

The only reason we wear clothes is because of Christianity? Wut? I just prefer not to freeze.

REmake is still my favorite. I loved the creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere. 7 was fantastic, too. I was skeptical going into it since it was first person, but I ended up really liking it and it still felt like RE. And I'll always love 4. I played it 3 times, which is super rare for me to do with a game.

SoB messaged me for the first time in over a year yesterday. We talked some games, football, and he asked about coming back to the boards.

I'm 11 hours in and I like it. I think I'm just struggling with open world games at this point. But it's more fun than RDR2.

Then atheism wouldn't exist because no one can say with 100% certainty there is no god. It's like Russell's Teapot. Or prove to me there's no invisible pink bunny floating around, watching over us all. Atheism vs. agnosticism gets really pedantic and dumb, but at the end of the day, if you don't believe in a god, then you're an atheist.
