I’m scared.

Of COURSE it is. On a related-ish note I’m glad bodies have normal-ish underwear this time. Playing Fallout 3 it always weirded me out that stripping Raiders of their armor caused them to be more clothed then before.

Kind of like all the asshole transplants in San Francisco who ridicule and make fun of Chinese people and Chinese restaurants on yelp. The Chinese have more of a right to be in SF than some douchebag Midwesterner.

It’s what Dan Savage calls the “straight people suck” argument: since conservative men (Hello Mike Huckabee) are saying that this is something that they would do, they are assuming that trans people would do the same, or that more predators would dress as women to commit assaults/peep. Ignoring the fact that not…

I can’t help but read it as “If given the opportunity, this is what I as a man would do.”

He does realize that “Nazi” isn’t a religion, right?

Couple big things that have cropped up so far (and I’ve probably been crafting for half the time I’ve been playing).

Stop. Just stop. The article clearly states that she gave her ID. The assumption that your wonderful totally non-judgmental and non-racist and non-homophobic friends jumped to cost this woman 8 real days in jail where she did not belong and an immeasurable amount of humiliation, anger and sadness. You’re friends are…

“She said that the hotel staff were suspicious of her and her friend from the moment they arrived, casting “disgusted” glances their way and whispering about them as if they weren’t there.”

If you’d bothered to read the story you would have noted that she gave her ID for a photocopy.

While you are right in that Candy Crush Saga is ultimately a generic Bejeweled clone, I’d call out that “non-gamers” labeling as exclusionary and juvenile. Games are for everyone, not some elite class of enthusiasts as your separation of “non-gamers” from “gamers” implies, and there’s more than enough room for casual…

They didn’t buy Candy Crush. They bought metrics on over 300 million users and their play habits. Even Blizzard doesn’t have that kind of userbase.

I can see how the line would be creepy to 2015 ears but to 40’s/50’s ears it’s a joke line. Because there was a running joke that was popular in movies during that time where someone would say something scandalous/raunchy while holding a drink and then look at their drink and go, “Hey, what’s in this drink?” as in, “I…

...there’s nothing to “agree to disagree” about. That is ACTUALLY what the song is about. I’m not kidding, I’m not trying to give you a handwavey unfeminist reading of the song. That is literally what the song is about.

Yeah, the weird thing about that song is that if you take into account the culture it was created in, it’s actually progressive and supportive of a woman’s right to sexuality.

Because the song is about how the woman secretly wants to stay but she is afraid of what people may say about her. Like back then, an unmarried woman spending over night with someone who is not her husband would be a scandal. He is trying to convince her that it’s okay because, look, a storm is happening outside. Who…

Alright. Let me sit you down and tell you a thing. So “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was written in 1944 and it’s about a man and a woman discussing ways they can spend the night together because they are unmarried and doing so back then would be hugely disastrous socially for the woman. They come up with excuses they can…

Being gray is a bit like being in the Republican second-tier debate. :)

Then lets take dollars, and the orcas, and build more marine parks and fewer entertainment venues with animals.

Right? I went to our local hardware store this weekend instead of a big box store because the staff there know what they’re talking about. One was able to direct me to the childproofing stuff, another helped me compare toaster ovens, and a third directed me to the shelf liners. I’ll gladly pay somewhat higher prices…
