You could be like my neighbor and fake* PTSD so you get $3500 a month for the rest of your life and still work. Should cover your Hellcat expenses.

Can't really single out the EPA when every state has even worse rules. The fact that people can use a standard license to drive vehicles like Suburbans, duallies and even RVs is insane. Most of these people are shitty drivers and they make most roads terrible for everyone else. Compared to that, saying an Hellcat was…

Shelving material in Geoff

I did once see a workhorse evolved into a jackass.

I just found a win xp install code in my basement this weekend. I was heartbroken.

I'm willing to bet XP is vulnerable to this exploit as well, the only reason there isn't a patch for it is because Microsoft doesn't support XP anymore.

There's a lot of people on here hypothesizing about some supposed connection with no factual evidence to back it up. The only connection I see is a distinct lack of parenting skills. Even for a child "I gotta hug grandma" is easily discernible from "uncle touched my penis."

If you say so. I personally have trouble seeing how "hug your aunt" morphs into "I have to let him stick his dick in me."

Thanks. I shouldn't expect nuance on the internet but am still always dumbfounded by it. No, hugging/kissing/handshaking relatives does not contribute to rape culture. Yes, some scuzzy, predatory uncle or neighbor might use those traditions to his advantage on an uneducated or naive child. It is not that hard to grasp.

Try to catch the point sailing past your head. Traditions of physical contact upon greeting/departing (hugs, kisses on the cheek, handshakes) are a normal part of human culture and do not contribute to rape culture.

Jesus h Christ. I get the not wanting to hug everyone part, and I think it's perfectly OK, but going from that to rape? Really?

I don't understand why you are attacking me. When I was a child I was made to go hug my grandparents and what not, because I was extremely shy and typically just hung around my mom's legs. I posed a question whether that practice that I and others may have been made to go through could have an effect on how we…

The Dead Kennedy's gave you an entired blank side to the cassette to tape on.

Free isn't always a full explanation because people are willing to pay for proxies, file host memberships, newsgroups, donate to torrent/link sites, etc to keep being able to pirate. I think a bigger problem is that pirated copies are often superior to the legitimate ones. People who are willing to shell out $50+ for…

I tend to pirate TV shows, even broadcast ones. I also have DirecTV, so I pay for FX, AMC, etc. already; however, I still prefer to download a scene rip of a TV show for a couple reasons:

I have another point: it isn't really about how it benefits companies (at least directly), but the mere existence of piracy is a form of competition within the marketplace. It's one of the only things that can shake up this weird monopolistic hold the cable companies have on content.

That Tech Crunch article really put a lot in perspective and makes me weary of Gawkers reporting (and it now makes sense why I see an article on every single Gawker site staking their media position and not really explaining anything too well). When you mentioned that they say its about "journalistic ehtics"; who do…

That helped a bit, though it still only focused on them being terrible and not what they were actually concerned about. I found this article on Tech Crunch to clear up for me what it was all about. http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gam…

I think I've read an article concerning GamerGate on every single Gawker related media site but am still confused. This group can't possibly be as terrible as they are in these articles can they? What do they say they stand for, or is there another side to this story? Because the way it is painted here, I just…
