The problem is that in our gaming culture where women are so often marginalized at best and ostracized or violently excluded at worst, having games like this available only reinforces those toxic attitudes towards women.

Couldn't finish the racist video. They weren't even using the correct definition of racism: the belief that a race is superior to another.

She probably also thinks that goddamned dress is White and Gold.

I can't wait for computing power to be so powerful in the future that just casually creating these scenarios will be a possibility even on laptops. Love these epic warfare scenarios, but hate how they slow down powerful computers to a crawl.

See stuff like this I call house rules. Whenever I play rpgs I impose certain restrictions on myself in order to make the game feel more exciting.

No-one is saying it doesn't work. Creating a caloric deficit will make you lose weight. No disputing that.

What Dick is saying is that it's not specific and actionable enough. It's just as helpful for most people to say "create a calory deficit". While true, it's not helping anybody.

Have you even read the linked…

So the secret here is to use a tablespoon of butter per egg as well? Because that is just plain fucking Paula Deen levels of dairy fat abuse.

Our cat is indoor only because of coyote problems in Portland, Oregon. We installed a door in the wall against the garage. On the other side is a bathroom vanity we pulled out of an old bathroom. The stinky litter and cats are contained in the cabinet and keeps the cats from roaming around the garage. I highly…

Bit of advice.....mark the door before taking it down to put in the pet door. I put one in one of our bedroom doors and forgot to do so. No big deal, I'll just rotate the bar-handle to see which way is "up". I did not know that the handle works rotating up and down so the pet door is upside down at the top of the…

Failure because of laziness? Tell that to the masses of the working poor! Taking responsibility is a good thing, but the lack of access to the means of proper nutrition and meaningful exercise to the impoverished is not an issue of "you're just not trying hard enough!" If you want to know how many of their lives are,…

I have this feeling that, someday in the future, we'll find a completely different cause of all these health issues. Looking back, the future will view the way we deal with diet and health in the 21st Century with the same head-shaking that we look back on a time before we knew about bacteria.

Too funny. If I send my son pasta or something hot for his lunch, I always boil water first and put it in the thermos to heat it up. Had I ever thought to do this for my own coffee? Of course not, I haven't had my coffee yet.

The problem isn't just knowing there's a bill, it's that some bills are totally fraudulent and over billed. Hospitals use 3rd party contractors that don't charge at PPO rates and providers pad their bills after the fact to the surprise of the consumer. Once submitted to collectors, the consumer basically is…

It's interesting that people tend to think that your pregnancy is a community event. But they're not actually wrong about that, are they? Given the social creatures that we are, we've always considered pregnancy a community event. Strangers actually caring about the success of your pregnancy is a very human reaction.

Some pointers:
