Just so you're aware, it is technically possible to be allergic to gluten. Wheat is one of the big 8 allergens and contains 4 proteins that can theoretically cause an allergic reaction, including gluten. This means that gluten is contained in one of the most common food allergens in the US. (Allergies change as you…

I'm going to keep meeting my dates at the LGBT owned/friendly BSDM coffee shop for games. If they can make it past that, they'll be doing good. No one cares if I am there with a new guy every night; they'd probably be happy for me.

I'm averaging 10 messages to me per week that get sent to the no bin by a filter set to eliminate all people with a match percentage less than 80%. And I'm fat.

There is some scariness about hemorrhagic fevers and "I read that book outbreak or whatever." But yes, "Ebola is the scaaaaaaaaary brown people disease," is totally accurate. I saw someone comment on a vacation photo to not hang out with any West Africans while in Cancun. Because, you know, they're forced to wear…

But subs and doms are actual things that actual women care about in dating. Alpha and beta are PUA terms that I have never heard a woman use.

It doesn't matter if you believe it's an empty threat. Gamers need to stop randomly threatening people because they didn't get their way.

There is a "crystal clear ice cube" fad with hoity toity people lately. Anyway, what they mean is that the boiled purified water and then stuck it in the freezer so that it would look pretty in the glass. I had a friend who felt the need to science up that bitch and try it at home. Not worth it.

The sides are not equal and one side has been impersonated to make threats or made threats in retaliation for threats, doxxed in retaliation for doxxing. You guys started it, You don't get to start it and then whine when you get 1/100th of what you dish out that "both sides do it." You did it first. You did it worst.…

Guess what? Women are 51% of the population and we know that this is about representation of women in games, which you believe should adhere to only your tastes. Every time that you harass an advertiser for supporting the targets of your harassment and that advertiser leaves, they will harm their business. By pulling…

What, precisely, is the bigger picture than equality for women and minorities? Game reviews? The existence of games that don't appeal to you?

Yeah, isn't it terrible when women get pissed off and talk about how angry they are they they are being harassed and doxxed and threatened out of their homes, behavior that they engage in at a much smaller rate than is done to them but is actually warranted? Because the best solution when people try to harass you off…

That's why the wikipedia entry on those ants has a disambiguation link to #GamerGate.

Thanks for this. I hadn't made the connection and before I was finished reading it, I saw someone advise someone who is on vacation to not to socialize with vacationers from West Africa, as though you can spot reliably by sight. Argh! I am trying so hard to not reply "yes! Don't associate with any black people! They…

Wow. You really have deluded yourself into thinking that you're clever, haven't you? I can't tell which is more pathetic: your posts or that you think your posts are clever.

My doctor's office gave me that, only in a brown paper bag. There's like 10 kinds of condoms in there too. I have yet to try the banana flavored ones. Ew.

Mine has an expiration date in 2016 and I got it 6 months ago.

Yeah, it would seem like pandering. You say that like pandering to 51% of the population as a demographic is a bad thing simply because the other 49% has a long and colorful history of being unable to share.

I don't think the fans want to see that.

This is so depressing.

Yes, it was always in the fine print— which very few people read— but it was completely unenforced until they announced about a year and a half ago that they had written an algorithm to automatically search names for words that are not names, especially curse words. This is when women's group started crying foul…
