Ah, so we have those here too. They are wonky and leave much to be desired. The places the woman in the videos and I are talking about are academically rigorous and not historical theme parks. Mount Vernon ( George Washingtons home) seems to do more 1st person types of interpretation, but I can vouch that they are…

I'm sure she will be fabulous, but I was hoping for Azie Mira Dingey, the woman who does "Ask A Slave" would get it. I'm mostly biased as a fellow historical interpreter who gets just a sprinkling of what she experiences and enjoy her approach to it.

I apologize for barging into your thread here and for also not having a strong opinion about whether or not she should have apologized, or should I? I apologize for not knowing.

I apologize for you having to make that apology, and think we're safe now. Unless this apology offends someone, and if so, I apologize for this apology as well.

Apology accepted.

Won't there ever come a day when the faux outrage machine of the Right cries wolf once too often?

Dear Rebecca,

Agreed!

Lara Croft is not a real archaeologist. She does not care for the scientific process, is incredibly destructive towards her environment and takes shiny artifacts with no care for context.

I read the article. I am an Aspie myself. Reading emotion in an emoticon is not remotely the same thing as reading it in a face that is moving, expressing things that are not reflected in a persons speech, etc. I may have difficulty telling emotions on a persons actual face, but that doesn't mean I'm not aware that a…

This upsets me because AS isn't always like this. It's a spectrum and a syndrome comprised of symptoms, not all of which are social. This is a narrow, pop culture interpretation of autism.

THANK YOU!! This is so clearly what he meant to me and I was immediately thinking "What is offensive and racist about that?" And I am black so I figured I am amongst the group that should be offended. I am - by the fact that SOMEHOW this tweet means either black people can't spell or a legitimate name that is probably…

No, he's not. He's saying if you were in a black neighbourhood, Lasonia could be a girl's name, but in an italian restaurant you would be referring to the food and thus it would be Lasagna. The "black people are stupid" is something you've read into it yourself and is not the point of the joke.

You know you don't have to get credentials to tell a joke, right?

I'm drawing a blank.

Exactly. I loved resident evil 6. There were so many great things in that game that i think people overlooked.was it a great game? No. Was it a terrible resident evil games?yes. It was a fun action adventure game that i think people were too quick to hate.

Man, I NEVER get amusing glitches. All my glitches are of the "What do you MEAN my saves are all gone?" variety of fun. I saw one yesterday where someone killed one of the giant sabre cats in Skyrim and it just pirouetted around the area before twirling off into the sky, Team Rocket Style, and nearly died laughing. If…

Here ya go *for all us Canucks*

I don't think so. He's not whining or bitching about it like this guy, that's for sure.

I wish people would stop using this term at all because it reeks of the worst excesses of political correctness. I'm all for calling out racist shit, when it is racist shit but I am highly suspicious of any tool of analysis that requires me to first assign a race to an artist and then assign a proper racial category…
