I still remember the first time I really understood why people like baseball. A friend of mine had recently gotten into it, and given that he was never the sports type for any sport, I figured there was probably something there. And we’re both total nerds, so it had to be something nerdy or intellectual. So I watched…

OH JESUS GOD YES

You know it’s funny, I’m white but I always think the same t thing (with less urgency, I’m sure) : “please don’t be a minority”.

I don’t think a few isolated examples make for a historical trend, but I do think women on the whole would probably do a better job than us. For one thing, there’d be a lot less dick measuring and machismo.

Welp, she has my vote. I mean literally, I just voted for her about thirty minutes ago.

This sounds reasonable at first glance, but the reality is the opposite. Translation, even between languages with a lot in common, isn’t as straightforward as say, math. Even in a text of a couple dozen lines, two different translators will put out noticeably different work. It’s statistically impossible that there…

But a fake... can be more real than the real thing... 

Not only is it the most important claim in the accusation, it’s the single part of the accusation about which the victim is least likely to be mistaken. If someone you already know does something bad to you, you don’t forget it, and you certainly don’t mistake them for some random person.

I did. So what? At the end of the day the Democratic party lost themselves the fucking election. Don’t blame the people for the terrible job done by those at the top. If they couldn’t sell Mrs. Clinton against a dumpster fire like Trump, whose fault is that? You’re blaming your fellow voters for not being energized by…

At the end of the day, getting their members to vote is the responsibility of the party, and they did a shit job of it. I’d have voted for a half-chewed sock over Trump, but not everybody felt the same. The DNC phoned it in and look what it got us.

Agreed. Imperfect allies are better than none at all. If you’re fighting for something important to you, you take what help you can get.

Uh, the first one. By about a thousandfold.

Well... we’re all in the shit now. 

Based on my personal experience, women stopped doing this a long time ago.

It is, unfortunately. It’s just not as beneficial to society.

It’s never stopped us before.

Whether something is dlc is generally a matter of budgeting, not timing. She was probably always intended to be dlc, so when she got completed is irrelevant.

The ability to see people as complex three-dimensional individuals instead of caricatures helps.

I know that current events are discouraging, but statistics don’t lie. There’s lots more work to be done, but never think it’s all for nothing. Think back to how difficult things have been for movements of the past, the fruits of whose efforts we now enjoy, and hope to improve on. They never gave up, and we can’t…

If you can’t act like an adult, don’t expect to be treated like one. It doesn’t matter to me what story you conjure up to explain it. And anyway, it’s the internet, I’m pretty sure if I wanted to I could just lie about what I’ve done politically instead of coming up with a face-saving measure.
