I’ll spell out why we treat them so nicely. OIL. They’re the figurehead of OPEC. You want to pay $10 a gallon? Then by all means go and piss off the Saudis.

“But Obama...” Nuh uh. Shush.

“Disrespecting your opponent can be a psychological play. A ban for taunting removes an important human aspect. Competitive games can tell a story about the players if you let them. Trying to force everyone to be ‘friendly’ is shortsighted.”

I’ve been playing Ana more than usual lately, and this skin just makes me want to continue that trend.

There’s also a cool purple skin for Ana!

Eh, I disagree. Most months usually have something halfway intriguing. Not long ago, they gave away Sleeping Dogs, just as an example.

The republicans were all for it, the dems all against it, and now we enter the world of crazy.

It usually has to come from a position of power, and the “pantsuit brigade” as you put it, is certainly not in power right now.

As a fifth-year child psychology trainee with more than 4000 hours of direct intervention experience, let me assure you that it is entirely healthy. To be emotionally supportive while allowing children the space to explore their own identity (in older-but-more-common terms, to be authoritative rather than permissive…

...but at some point we need to realize that not everyone is arguing in good faith and that incitement towards things like genocide need to be dealt with.
