I'm SO SORRY. That is the most horrible thing in the world. I hope you are in a much better place in your life and I am sending you love from an imaginary internet stranger.

I love it when you guys say this and then...nothing...ever...happens. Hi! I'm here from Jezebel! It looks like that ugly-ass woman was an angry, mean drunk, and I can see why they thought she was a threat to the plane, sort of. Kind of. Ish, under the post 9/11 'everything might crash a plane' theory of flying planes.…

Aw man, Penabler, don't taunt me from afar with your hand. You know how I feel about your hand! Don't throw your hand in my face!

That was a good idea! But I started smoking pot when I was 9, though not seriously till I was 13. I didn't ever make it to the part where I made a rational calculation about my risk for turning out as fucked up as my family. I just wanted to get away from the horribleness. I remember very distinctly being in the…

Sure. Humor us. There are games where I agree the designers can make a fair case that it would be difficult to suddenly add models that have a truly different internal and external architecture (and in truth, even totally-armored female terrorists wearing strategically placed keffiyehs should be distinguishable from…

This is the shit I would be afraid of.

Penabler, I know this is sort of sudden and everything because I've been admiring your pen-enabling hand from afar, but, I'd hit your hand harder than a screen door in a hurricane. Your hand could be my slampiece any day of the week. Your hand is fucking smoking hot, dude.

Honestly, a lot of those uniforms and combat gear, if someone's head were completely covered, it'd probably be pretty hard to tell if someone were male or female.

Importing our particular modern concepts of race into this situation yields misleading results. You apparently think Crimean Tatars "count as white," but every white American Protestant of English descent up until WWI (and damn likely WWII!) would have thought them obviously some form of swarthy Asiatic Mongol. And…

Are you seriously going to tell me that as it stands CS is so extraordinarily realistic—so rooted in granular reproduction of the existing world—so dogmatically devoted to realism for realism's sake, even when that comes at the expense of entertainment or ease of play or ability to create characters who can be…

People didn't even find out about oral sex until 1971. FACT.

YES, that would be rather welcome. Then I would read this site more than the 1-2x per month I do so, become enraged by the commenters, and leave vowing never to return. They're always threatening to leave the PC hell of feminism we've made! Maybe, just, go already?

I only mention it in case you need a hobby, having retired from life, and you don't know how to do cross-stitch (you should learn, though, it's hella easy and impresses people). So hating Tebow would be a nice hobby. Oh shit, this is Jalopnik! I'm sorry, I meant, loudly maintaining that the speed at which a car is…

On the other hand, if you can't handle giving up even the meager nano-second of amusement this ad affords in the service of making life better for 51% of the human race, because the trade-off still isn't worth it to you, you're...a pretty calculating dude, and have low, low, low standards (even lower than the car…

Are you being really retro-purposively ironic? Have you ever been to Germany? Are you aware that the large Turkish-speaking minority is a little on the swarthy side, just, kind of, a bit, and tends to be very overrepresented in lowest-level jobs (so, simplest assembly line, not engineering per se.)

Roughly 15% of engineers in this field in the States are women. So min 1 in 10 of the engineers getting her wings should have been a woman, and depending on rounding and whether they didn't feel like being complete assholes, coulda been 2 in 10. I know math is hard and all, but maybe lie down with a damp towel on your…

The same way you fill a syringe with Mexican tar heroin! You add water! Only, probably, you don't boil it up in a spoon, since it seems like that's running counter to whatever you've got going on in your syringe-with-poop-filling times. Also, you probably not in as big of a hurry. As big.

That's a simple-minded way to look at it. An extraordinarily-skilled CS student might have been raped two weeks ago but nonetheless be prepared to do excellent work. She is likely to rely on the assumption that her examiners will treat her with ordinary human decency, however, and that means that she may be very…

I just cut all my hair off to this exact cut! Also the Mia Farrow Rosemary's Baby look when styled differently. I'm not, um, super-meditative, though...

I'd be the one in the female profile! Sorry, I was kind of giving you shit and that was a polite response. In any case, since I've been happily married for quite some time there's no danger of my needing to date online, which honestly sounds like the most gigantic horrible hassle in all of human history. Setting aside…
