My money's on "bored".

That makes sense. I guess I've been lucky so far, in that I haven't been exposed to that really cynical, selfish style of networking.

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.

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.

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?

I normally wouldn't argue with someone over whether they call themselves a feminist or not, because I'm not going to change anyone's mind on that. And I also believe that how someone behaves is more important than the label they choose for themselves. If someone really is advocating for equality, call it a win and…

I don't think it makes any sense to abandon a label because there are negative stereotypes attached. It would be like someone refusing to identify as Catholic because of the stereotype of priests molesting little boys and churches covering it up, or refusing to identify as atheist because of fedora-wearing,…

Well, some of them are articulating pretty ignorant concepts of what feminism means. Like the implications that it's nothing but complaining and being angry and not actually doing anything. If strong, powerful women are out there in society propagating those stereotypes, don't you think it hurts women who DO choose to…

Playing as the bad guy isn't ironic.

Expensive social programs are always loved by those who understand the long-term benefits of living in a society that can provide security and stability to as many as possible - even the poor and disadvantaged, and are hated by those who don't understand the value of anything that isn't going directly into their own…

Yes, when you live in a society you are expected to contribute to it.

Well first off, yes, obviously women are way over-objectified, in media and public life in general. I'm not debating the truth of that.

You should have been sniffing the enemy more. Classic noob mistake.

I don't think they referenced any part of the real world when making this game.
