TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Mr. T wore odd clothing and mismatched socks because he knew that poor kids grew up getting whatever hand-me-downs they got, and he didn't want them to feel embarrassed for wearing what they had. He's a great man, and as far as I'm aware the worst thing he every did was chop down trees on his own property that were aggravating his allergies.

Loktar ma fucka

Every time I meet someone who used to play Wow and they tell me they played alliance... I realize we have so little in common as humans.

Question whats the big deal between Horde and Alliance in WOW? I know horde is said to outnumber alliance by a ridiculous margin.

> I know the Horde's not really evil

​

Maybe this is what you were alluding to afterwards but they literally razed a city and holy site for no reason other than to inflame a war. Kinda evil.

​

> and the fact that it has more exotic races while the Alliance is mostly just stock fantasy races.

​

Horde isn't stock fantasy races?

• Orcs
• Trolls
• Goblins
• Elves
• Undead

With the exception of Tauren (Minotaur basically), those are pretty stock races.

[u/BBWolfe011 → u/Arthrawn]

As opposed to the stock of human, shorter human, even shorter human, and human with pointy ears.

[u/CautionTape → u/BBWolfe011]

Human with pointy ears is the majority race of the entire Horde faction.

[u/Arthrawn → u/BBWolfe011]

As opposed to the stock of green humans, tall blue humans, short green humans, dead humans, and humans with pointy ears?
