I know the Wastes are mean, but they could have given us this one. Just this one.

Daring Dashwood! And the snobs were right! *cries*

It’s one of those things that is “realistic” or whatever, but I am still furious and weirdly depressed by it. I took ages to win the speech challenges, too. I thought Fallout had given me one moment where just talking would make it ok. And I also went back and was puzzled where everyone was. I thought it was an…

I’m playing 3 right now, and I was so pissed off by that ending I put the game down for a week.

I like relatively violent movies, but if they are super gross or horror pornish or something I might close my eyes. I don’t even know what gender I am anymore.

I don’t like ganging up on twitter people for mildly stupid statements, but man that guy is not earning my sympathies.

And now I just found out that speech successes in the Tenpenny Tower quest are to no avail. Things still end in death. Considering the xenophobia running rampant lately, the idea that the ghouls and the humans could never live together peacefully after all really smarts. A little peeved at Bethesda right now. I wanted…

I’m playing 3 right now — as boyfriend tackles 4 — and it makes me feel the same way. There’s plenty of kitsch and actual humor in these games, but there’s some incredibly bleak shit. The “There Will Come Soft Rains” house, the gruesome metros...Hell, I got creeped out the first time I met the ghoul who tells you…

>:(

Hush now, this is third wave feminism. Everything is okay when it’s a choice.

(It is “okay” in the sense that choice is the most important thing. That’s why I’m a libertarian. The feminism part I thought was where you asked why people do things like, oh, get botox.)

The Blue Album and Pinkerton are creepy and sexist, and I like them. There’s an artfulness there, or at least it seemed like that before they made like eight bad albums.

Weezer now are so bad it is staggering.

The horrible nightmare that is the miracle of life will stalk me until death. Or menopause.

I ALREADY HAVE IRREGULAR PERIOD AND A TUBBY STOMACH, YOU SONS OF BITCHES. (Don’t worry, they’ve been there since I was a virgin.)

I just thought of something — what if her hair in “Run Lola Run” is a wig? What if MY teenage hair dream is a lie?!

At least the ‘80s were big, daring bad fashion. The aughts were just cheap and lacking in fun colors and also awful.

*whispers* Your mother is right.

Yeah, there is something to that. But the women being sexy in Maxim (and even in Playboy sometimes) are not necessarily models whose job is to be sexy. In Maxim’s case they are often actresses. In theory, you could be an actress who is not sexy. In practice, this is rare. This is tedious.

Here’s a great photo of two…

Boy are you making assumptions. Women are sexy. Men are sexy. I am not particularly attracted to men who gyrate in jockstraps.

Yes, I was being hyperbolic. But I can be okay with sexiness as a thing while still being annoyed that every actress eventually ends up in her underwear in a magazine. No, nobody cares if their…

Maxim occasionally had one token piece of journalism. Playboy had half a dozen, and writing by some of the best people around.

My problem is not with sex, and certainly not with sex workers. My problem is the assumptions that women in every single field have to be sexy while they perform their job. Every single field.
