Totally unrelated, but you clearly have good taste in games based on your profile picture. :)

Of all the things about this man, the fact that he killed a goat and drank its blood is the least of my concerns. I’m not honestly sure why that’s worth getting upset over. The most egregious of his crimes is that damned name, IMO.

I like Amber Rose and all, but did anyone else think the top image was a mannequin?

This reminded me of a recent episode of Vet Ranch.

I absolutely agree that it was previously too restrictive, but part of that was due to a lack of understanding how body dysmorphia works (unfortunately part of it was also bigotry). We have a similar situation here with BIID so I tend to lean towards being conservative in our approach (that regulation and…

“Also, it’s Buzzfeed, so who really gives a shit?”

Best line in the article. I lol’d. :D

I know the method has changed, and I’m certainly no doctor, but I kind of like the idea of the old method of helping people transition between genders. IIRC there was about a year or so of psychological therapy to explore the reasoning behind the desire to change and what life may look like for them after they…

I’m all for voluntary amputation, or in this case enucleation, but the two week time frame absolutely threw me for a loop.

If you’ve got the time this is a fascinating read regarding the ethics of voluntary amputation related to BIID.

We need much more research into BIID. I’ve long struggled with the knowledge that my body is incomplete; I don’t feel like my legs belong to someone else or that they aren’t part of my body, but there is a deep need within me to have bilateral transtibial amputations. I wish there was more work being done to address…

Oh I can be far more dumb, go check my comment history. This is nothing.

Thank you for the edification.

I had never heard of Jerma until yesterday when I purchased Armikrog and hit a bug. The bug allowed me access to an area which I should not have yet had access to but a bunch of names began popping up on my screen (turns out these were folks who backed the game) and the first one that pops up is Jerma985 so it stuck…

I’d also propose more people follow motovolggers on youtube. Watching them like I do has given me a new respect for the motorcyclist’s point of view on the road and a better understanding of what to expect from them and they from me while driving. I don’t own or ride a motorcycle but those vloggers have certainly…

All of that would matter if I had said that the shooter was free to post that stuff without repercussions on 4chan, but I did not. I said that KKK members are free to hold opinions about other races as long as those opinions don’t lead to actions that violate others’ rights.

Calling someone a disgusting dickwad could…

It certainly does not, but I’m not sure how that’s relevant to your point about the KKK.

All of this, of course, is simply my own opinion, but I appreciate the comments I’m getting that are actual attempts to better understand my position, or those that provide actual information in an attempt to try to change said position. What irks me are the comments along the lines of, “No 4chan sux the end.” That’s…

I used to really dislike Jez and I hate-read it for quite a while, but it gradually grew on me and it’s now one I check multiple times a day. I’m really not here to try and stir up shit, I just think it’s important that we don’t generalize. :)

I was simply using a couple of GM blogs as a comparison as they’re not that different from the various boards over at 4chan. Each of those blogs/boards doesn’t represent GM/4chan as a whole.

A fair point, but it doesn’t change that fact that making generalizations is rarely a good idea.
