Send a poet.

I followed the directions to the letter and ended up meeting my dad.

To be fair, (pushing spectacles up on nose) Tolkien did at least make a nod to the idea that the hobbits are frequently just not even noticed in battle due to their size. Plus they got them spiffy elf-camouflage cloaks...

“‘It’s not always a misfortune being overlooked,’ said Merry. ‘I was overlooked just now by – no,…

Guys...I don’t want to cause a panic here, but I’m *starting* to think gaming has a male toxicity problem...

WoW is putting it lightly.

I have never seen that happen or be commented on in any article on Kotaku or Gizmodo.
While I’m sure it happens, but probably not to the same degree of regularity as video games where people are tripping over themselves to call out anyone with any amount of cash.

I am not sure if more laws will help, they need to have real teeth, potentially going into criminal charges.

The point is in the how they got hugely successful. They’re fundamentally linked.

Metzen handpicked Afrasiabi as his replacement. I guess his self-insert Thrall picking such an awful person like Garrosh as his successor now makes a lot more sense.

They’re tacos… Tacos! 

“I didn’t even want to be in them,” he continued, while visibly perspiring. “Who wants money and fame in some of the biggest movies of our time? I’m happy watching the old stuff anyways, back before it got mainstream. I definitely didn’t audition for the new ones, and never heard back, ahaha, why do you ask? Oh, you…

On the other hand, people regularly get banned and fired for supporting Palestine. The winds seem to be turning after the latest massacre against…

That’s a tough ride but I’m glad you have found what works for you. With our situation, 420fembot has been the career woman that deserves it all but realistically does not have the time or energy for both. I think she is realizing that and starting to admit that adoption could work if I stayed home and she kept…

I agree with all of this. The only way I see myself having a child is to adopt one that already exists and needs someone to love them, and even that is fucking expensive.

Skyward Sword cons:

Good lord, am I sucker for point and click adventures which, visually speaking, accurately channel the genre’s early-t0-mid nineties heyday.

Some money got laundered.  

Yeah, they are absurdly tacky. I suddenly had to start working from home last year. After one day of sitting on the hard wooden IKEA chair we just used to sit down at the computer for a few minutes at a time, I tried to find the most comfortable chair I could find for a reasonable price and that I could pick up THAT…
