Yes, because it's the resolution that makes the game.

Ah, I love it when someone tries to insult someone else by calling them a nerd while being a commenter on a gaming blog.

It's still broken. Saying that Google+ will lower the amount of spam and trollish comments was just an excuse to force it on everybody. I actually see more spam than I did before the switch.

It wasn't as bad as this. Now it's entirely broken. You can't even use it.

Really depends on which church you're talking about. The more fundamentalist churches, sure.

Humans are gifted in different areas of expertise, due in part to individual brain development and personality. While it is true that vast swathes of the population can learn any particular task they decide to pursue, the time requirement needed to become proficient at such a task can vary wildly. Where one may need…

That's not true at all. Trying to eradicate shitty people is only half of the whole solution, as is trying to educate victims in ways which they could avoid something. Neither is a solution which can be 100% effective on its own (nor can they indeed be 100% effective together, but you get closer with both approaches…

Yeah, it is. I think it's down to a lot of knee-jerk reactions to bad wording of well-intentioned messages. It'd be very easy to say the above as something like "well yeah, if you hadn't told them you were gay you wouldn't have gotten mocked... what did you think was going to happen?". That isn't the most…

It's rough that there's often no room for nuance when discussing risk reduction

Well maybe nobody in the real world listens to them. Maybe they need somebody to talk to when nobody else is there.

You're right, this is perfectly reasonable advice. Unfortunately, she will also be accused of victim blaming by the same sorts of shrill voices who accuse anyone of victim blaming when they have the temerity to say "Hey, not saying what happened to these guys was right... but here are some steps they could have taken…

It's just a shorthand term to quickly convey that actual research has been done. Please don't leave us, Tofu.
