I was in a casual guild that occasionally had to fill a spot - we eventually stopped raiding on days when we were missing someone because dudes could not handle themselves in a voice chat with multiple women in it.

I use a female avatar in Destiny 1 and 2 because, let’s face it, they just look cooler. I’ve had no shortage of friend requests and creepy messages from randos asking if I’m a chick, or stating various other explicit things.

Maybe this just makes me old (I am 35) but Twitch just sounds like a dystopian hellhole I want no part of. Even the most gentle thing in this article - the idea of selling a “friendship experience” - sounds like a Black Mirror episode.

This article is very clearly not trying to say that no women use sex to draw in viewers, as evidenced by the last paragraph in which they talk to a streamer who blatantly and openly admits to doing so.

That ref congratulating Brady after the game is a bad look at best and the ref should know that.

And the fact is, Brady is going to get PI/Holding calls and Bortles is not. It’s not fair. But Rodgers, Big Ben and Brees would have the same advantage.

“after the game”

I think you meant “literally the play after gifting them their only offense of the half”

The Patriots are the walking embodiment of the “All Lives Matter,” mendacity of American society. Man this sucks.

I don’t buy it. It’s in the best interests of the league to have the largest media markets possible in the Super Bowl and London is way bigger than Boston.

you must have never worked for a bully, a narcissist or psychopath. I routinely taped all calls with shady people...
