You know, when Reps make abortion regulations depend on the life of the mother or instances of rape and/or incest, they’re basically saying that their reasons for being pro-life have nothing to do with “protecting precious life” and everything to do with punishing what they perceive as promiscuous women.

About the accent thing though: when you live around other English-speakers with radically different accents you do kind of pick up some of it after awhile. When I lived in Beijing I had many friends who were Australian and when that’s the only form of English you hear most days your voice starts to reflect it. So I’d…

I’m gonna guess hemorrhoids... seriously!

I’ve never even heard of it and I work in the ad department of a broadcast TV station, so I’m gonna blame poor marketing for this one.

I’m speaking on what I know (I’m heterosexual but an ally) but I think it’s sometimes used either by one’s preference instead of using gay, lesbian, transgendered, etc., or when someone feels like they don’t fit the more typical labels used in the LGBTQ community (i.e. pansexual, maybe).

Seems like a good move. Honestly I’m enjoying ME: A right now more than I thought I would (still not as good as the first three games). I think the best thing they can do other than trying to listen to feedback and patch bugs is to eventually develop a good, long DLC that adds much more character depth to the current…

I can’t remember the last time a congressional hearing actually changed anything. It’s simply a forum for bitchy politicians to ask literally whatever questions they choose that the witnesses MUST answer, even if it’s wholly unrelated to the topic at hand. It does nothing but create a media circus and, fortunately,…

Well now I have a heads up!

I just got there... what issues have you had with the planet? After I landed I basically turned around and went back to Voeld because I’m weird about completionism and I wanted to wrap up some stuff there first before getting into a new place.

This weekend is way overbooked but I’m hoping to get more Mass Effect Andromeda time in tonight before the chaos begins.

Funny you mention Trump, because I’ve seen a few people this weekend try to put Trump and Kim in the same box. But here’s why I disagree with that: Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing, and I think Kim DOES know what he’s doing. The Kim family didn’t create a cult of personality through three generations through…

I feel like there’s no way DPRK would actually do this.

Don’t know if I agree Spicer’s statement was denying the Holocaust - I just think he’s an incredible idiot who has no business publicly speaking for anyone, let alone the United States Executive Branch.

I’m confused... So the article says he received the death penalty for the crimes from the federal court, but then the state court also charged him and doled out the life sentences? Were some of the crimes federal offences and the other only state offences?

It’s kind of like when white people try to tell other white people how black people think - truth is, we will never know what it’s like to be black, and instead of doing the white version of “mansplaining” we should just LISTEN to people who have real experiences in these roles and believe them. It sounds like Ivanka…

I can only imagine EA (you know, being EA) has insane deadlines for the crazy expectations they and the fan had for this game - All considering, they pulled a lot off.

My cat BaoBao greets me every day when I get home from work. He’s right there when I open the door, and then follows me around the house for 5 minutes. If I stop walking he throws himself on the floor and proceeds to roll back and forth on his back to get my attention. I don’t give him treats or anything other than…

He has freakishly soft-looking hands for a man of his age. Is that really George Costanza?

OK, sorry but... the picture in this article, is her head photoshopped because it looks way too big in terms of the ratio to the rest of her body. Or is it just an optical illusion?

I’m really sorry, this much be heartbreaking for you. I hope they find the assholes who did this, and there’s a quick repair of what remains of their graves.
