the context of the relationship is that he thinks it’s cheating and she doesn’t. that’s why he feels weird about it.

“Genre fiction” is, and has been since long before io9 existed, a way of referring to Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Great ideas, I could get on board with that. I think there is room for everyone.

If a certain attire is turning off enough paying customers, you can bet your life savings that a private (i.e. paid access) beach is going to ban that attire.

That’s a baby/bathwater scenario.

Grid girls have never served a purpose other than to act as objectified stimulation. That’s it. We can and should do better as a society.

That’s a dumb premise to anyone who has ever looked into ambulance usage though. In general, more people take ambulance when they shouldn’t than when they should have. The people who don’t take ambulances when they should take them aren’t going to stop that dumb behavior because Uber exists.

Not only that, there are a people who call for an ambulance when their child is just run-of-the-mill sick, or they have something minor that they’d probably be better off driving to the ER themselves. If Uber can cut down on the number of waste-of-time ambulance rides, that opens the medics up to respond quicker to…

They aren’t necessarily forgoing medical care. Being able to call an Uber and have it actually come get you, as opposed to waiting for a taxi that may-or-may-not come, probably encourages people to go to the hospital sooner, when their condition isn’t as acute. Waiting another couple of hours until they’re desperate…

The amount of girls at karting events is staggering when you compare it to the amount of women in pro motorsports. They are there, and they’re damn good at it. Then suddenly they struggle to make the transition to full cars for political/financial reasons.

It’s because the sport offers truly equal opportunities to both men and women. Motorsport does not. Trust me, on a serious youth kart racing league there are sexist parents, coaches and sponsors that just limit the opportunity for women and the way motorsports is, if you don’t have years of experience as a kid you…

Maybe woman would be more interested if they felt welcomed. Little girls literally said they didn’t think they were allowed to race, so why would they be interested in that?

It happened the same way any mediocre driver continues to get sponsorship: by being very well-connected.

A large part of the issue is that it’s difficult to tell why there is little interest among women and girls. My guess would be that it’s a cultural thing and as a result could be overcome. Biology likely plays a role but for whatever reason it seems to me something that would be fairly small.

Both the Camaro and Corvette have been nearly continuously built since they were first introduced so I don’t understand your issue here.

Those pictures remind me of being in middle-school sex ed, and they show you weird pictures of anatomy that are excessively detailed, and you’re kind of aroused, but also confused and a bit frightened.

Are referring to the current ‘Vette being “mid-front-engined”?

I get so uncomfortable about the desire for people to suffer that goes against base tenets of mental health.

I had a classmate in high school who would constantly say my name, followed by “slob my knob.” It happened in a few different classes and everyone just always giggled while I saw there feeling mortified. I knew my one teacher could hear him but would pretend that she didn’t, which felt like such a betrayal (as a woman…

This came back home from my son Otto’s first-grade class. It was a Thanksgiving assignment, where he had to write what he was thankful for.

I agree he is a danger to himself but CRISPR is definitely not snake oil.
