The toxicity of the community is pretty awful, but the thing that always turned me off of MOBAs, and to a lesser degree MMOs, is the meta game that you must know intimately to be able to play. If you do not you become the target of much of that toxicity.

‘While the report does not specify the gender of the sexual assault victims, it does note that during the “were at a rate slightly higher than those experienced in other military populations.”’

Wat? During the what, what were at a higher rate? Who edits this stuff?

As a Washingtonian, 405 is a shit show, all day every day, apparently across the entirety of the west coast.

I’d love to see that in action. There’s an argument to be made against the legality of requiring an oath from jurors at all. I’m obviously no lawyer, but I could never bring myself to give an oath in court. There are no federal statutes, to my knowledge, that require jurors to swear an oath and it’s more of a…

With U.S. municipalities getting their hands on these as they come back and the gov’t has a surplus, I have to wonder how they deal with a break down.

Edit: by which I mean it’s unlikely that the cities snatching these up have the vehicles required to get one onto a flatbed, so how would they go about it?

Came here for Farscape, was not disappointed.

Jury duty, while definitely inconvenient, is vitally important. Especially once you learn about jury nullification. It has nothing at all to do with anything going on here, but I’m a big advocate of making people aware of the fact that you can vote however you like as a juror with no fear of being punished. Think the…

I applaud your efforts, I really wanted to laugh, but the fact that this man (and probably others) felt that shooting her was an appropriate response just made me very, very sad.

Excellent! I can finally cover up that scratch I put in my giraffe leopard-print paint job!

Agreed on all points. I can’t put my finger on why but there is something inherently appealing to me about a blue car.

My car history is as follows:
1995 Ford Escort hatch in blue (Totaled.)
1999 Ford Escort in blue (Who needs oil changes? Engine destroyed.)
2003 Hyundai Accent in blue (Hey, I actually kept this one alive long enough to sell!)
2005 Ford Focus zx3 in blue (Ah, yiss; still running)
2016 Ford Focus RS in blue (Hopefully! I…

As a former wine steward, that’s precisely how I feel about almost every wine-related story that pops up here. I know I’m inclined to be a snob about it, so I try to cut people some slack, but grenadine in your wine? Fuck off!

Autonomous cars need to be more human in their behavior on the road. To this end I propose the following:

a) no autonomous car shall travel at or below the speed limit
b) no autonomous car shall indicate when turning or changing lanes
c.1) all autonomous cars must be fitted with a mechanical device designed to activate…

I’m not a big Kate Upton fan, but her Hot Pockets ad with Snoop Dogg was incredible.

Truth, and the roads themselves aren’t much wider than the tiny, tiny sidewalks.

My sister lives near the border of BC in Washington state and all I ever hear from her about Canadians is that they come over the border and buy all the milk. I’m not sure why, but apparently it’s a problem. :P

I’ve never understood mourning, even with my grandfather having died just two weeks ago all I’ve really been able to think about the whole situation is “Yeah, that’s how life ends.” We were pretty close, as he was the one who supported me through my parents’ divorce when I was younger, but I’ve not been able to muster…

Someone probably does, but it sure as hell isn’t me.

I like this article. I worked for about a decade in the wine industry and always described myself as a wine snob despite the negative connotations, not because of my attitude but simply because I had specialized knowledge that the average person didn’t possess and could discern differences that might not be apparent…
