Dehumanizing? That seems harsh, though I guess it depends on the context. Personally, I'm super interested in meeting other people in my field, not just to grub up contacts and job prospects. I've always been hesitant to go out to events and meet ups where I didn't know anyone, though. Maybe this tip'll help.

That gif might be the best gif.

"Gentlemen Broncos"

Heh, "Gentlemen Broncos". It's...weird.

Ghostbusters, Terminator 2, Die Hard 1-3

Here's some footage of the unit in action:

That's a great short, and by far my favorite bat costume on film. Simple grey and black, sleek, great looking cowl, and worn by a guy who actually looks like he could kick some ass. So much better than the high-tech hockey pads Christian Bale wears in the Nolan films.

I sort of agree. I think the only reason Nolan's work is so beloved is because the bar for Batman films has been set so incredibly low.

My guess would be that he refuses to use any kind of drug or substance to directly enhance his biology out of some kind of ethical or moral objection. Maybe he thinks it could lead to him becoming careless or lazy, if he started to rely on it too much? I've just never seen it explicitly stated anywhere, and wonder if…

Which are all the reasons Superman is a boring-ass character, who stars in boring, goofy stories.

One of the great things about Batman is that he CAN be beaten in a face-to-face fight by a lot of opponents. He may be "peak human", but he's still just human. A random dude with a gun could kill him. The point of Batman is his range of other skills - he's the world's greatest detective, he's a scientist, he's a…

I tend to agree. Knowingly getting involved with someone who's cheating on their partner is sleazy, but it's not worth diverting any of the blame from where it truly belongs - squarely on the shoulders of the cheater. The scenario doesn't happen without the cheater going looking for sex on the side, and being willing…

Vigilantism should always be regarded as problematic and dangerous, but it becomes necessary when the existing legal system can't or won't protect people from being victimized. That's overwhelmingly the case with rape victims. Until we can actually trust the various authorities to investigate rape and sexual assault…

The bullying about the rape happened on school grounds.

Came for the story, stayed for the monorail song.

Nickelodeon slime turning kids into killers, now that's a sci-fi/horror flick I'd watch!

Haha, that's amazing. You don't need to be a brony to find that hilarious. Scout's the best.

I recently ran my first 5k and actually enjoyed it, despite always hating running in the past. I think I'd like to train up to the point of being able to do 10k runs, but that's as far as I'm interested in going at once. At that point I'd probably just start working on time.

I'm not telling them it's their job to reclaim the term. I'm calling them on actively reinforcing the stereotypes. Many of them aren't just saying "I don't call myself a feminist", they're saying "I don't call myself a feminist because feminism is just about complaining/being angry/hating men/...". Which pretty much…

Do you think that's the way we ought to live our lives, though, letting the most extreme members of a group define that group? Would you give up your faith/religion/philosophy and just find another word for it if extremists who also identified themselves by it started giving it a bad name in mainstream culture?
