Regardless of whether you consider them equivalent or not, blaming any single medium for this guy's awful behaviour not only works to absolve him of responsibility, it implies that others who have been exposed to the same medium are similarly terrible people, and that the problem is something easily fixed. It's lazy…

I see your point to an extent, but if the pearl clutching about video game violence is stupid, then pearl clutching about video game sexism is stupid.

This is the best music video I've seen in a while.

The other day I had a conversation with an American friend about possums and how they are cute for about the 500th time. US possums are gross and scary and also gross. Australian possums are the adorablest thing ever.

Hard to tell scale, but from how skinny and hairless the legs look, this looks like a baby. Big ones are the size of a bread and butter plate.

Everything tasted better in Melbourne before it got popular. I should know . I liked Melbourne before it was cool, man. I started the trend but now it's just so last year.

The thing about being all whacko about the constitution is that you have to be whacko about it all the time. Even when it means that people you don't like get to do things you don't like.

You're sitting on a youtube goldmine.

No it's probably for the fact that most guns aren't made for that kind of close up combat. That short distance gives you one chance to be accurate or you're fucked.

I worked night shift over Christmas and boxing day.
