So you think _murder_ was her only answer here? Is that what you’re insinuating? I mean shit, just join the army. They’ll pay for your housing, even. And it’d be straight up illegal for them to stop her from showing up at boot camp. Besides, you’re 18. If your parents are “in control” of your bank accounts, go down to…

So, like, why not just move out. You’re over 18, you have “jobs.” They literally can’t stop you. Rent an apartment, pack your things, and leave. Then you can do whatever you want.

Agreed, I had the same experience playing on PS3 with CoD versus Xbox. I’ve literally never had anyone rag on me for being female on PSN, and I use voice chat for (every one of) the hundreds, if not thousands, of matches I’ve played. XBox though? Holy shiiiiit.

Honestly, this gels with my experience. I’ve never had a genuinely skilled player resort to misogynistic insults when I was playing, whether I won or lost.

This will sound like an exaggeration to anyone who hasn’t experienced it themselves, I’m sure, but damn, he’s worse than the (ex-)boyfriend I had who threw a controller across the room so hard after losing to me he broke it. I have no freaking idea why losing hurts manly feels so much in vidya gaem. It’s not like…

Fixed dad’s computer; can’t unsee porn.

Sssssh, sssh. Don’t bring facts into this. Everyone is having an outrage party, and nobody wants Debbie Downer’s “numbers” and “reality.”

If you have Bloodborne and haven’t played it yet, you, sir, are a bad person.

Well, yeah. So she can dual-wield the torch and sword. Haven’t you ever played Dark Souls?

I’m about 99% sure that’s the joke.

This exactly. We actually pay for it - our “EI vacations”, too. Though one of my (male) coworkers did take the full 35 weeks off after his wife took the 15. That was pretty cool.

“Freedom” absolutely does not rule, with cars. The laws surrounding the use of them are strict, and without them, the rate of death by accident was even more “incredible” than it is now. You’re making an argument for the strict regulation of fireworks, my friend. That’s all. I don’t know what it is you were initially…

Yes, if it’s one thing we don’t have, it’s any laws whatsoever regulating the use of cars to try to increase their safety. Let everyone drive wherever and however they want! Like on the sidewalk. Let Darwin rule.

I’ve come to the realization that I, too, would be okay with a Grey Dystopian Smock, so long as it was comfortable. I realize that people get a lot of joy out of fashion, and I wouldn’t want to deprive them of that, but I also wish that I could just... opt out of the whole endeavor. Luckily, at least for casual…

Huh. The closest American city to me (Seattle) is surprisingly un-segregated. There are enclaves of blue and red, but most of the inner city is purple.

Prettttyyyy sure taking medically necessary steps to ensure said new life isn’t saddled with “severe deadly or debilitating diseases” is the very definition of “thinking it through,” custody battles that may or may not be a groundless fears notwithstanding.

Yes, it would be better if we were all clones of one person; ergo, no potential for custody battles.

No, it doesn’t. It has no specific demand or request, unlike the petition. It’s just whining.

When it’s “he,” who gives a shit? The kid isn’t going to read that anyway! When it’s “she” suddenly it’s something we’re “forcing on a child.”

I take it you’re in the Middle East as we speak, fighting ISIS? Holy shit, that’s incredible!
