yup, that's where the name originates - hystera is the greek word for uterus, as in hysterectomy. Hysteria was a female condition, basically the stereotypical lady flying off the handle emotionally, and it's generally considered a misogynistic term, though the meaning has changed over time, and now it's typically…

it was a "cure" but it wasn't horny, it was dramatically emotional

Well thanks for taking the time to point that out, I will sleep well knowing that. *kiss*

person wouldn't have made sense - the point was that it's not ok to hit a woman unless things get very, very serious and uncontrollable.

That's exactly what he's saying. translated it's roughly "a force that cannot be reasoned with(crazy), in which it would not be in good taste to respond with violence(hitting a woman is bad if you're a man), but there comes a point when there is no alternative".

did the same to my girlfriend once, except it was an elbow to the face after she punched me in the back as a "surprise" that winded me. Our instinctive response at times is "eliminate the source of pain". It's not always a conscious choice.

Absolutely. We cheer when a woman decks a guy for grabbing her butt, I don't see how this is much different.

Dragon Age 2.

totally. even if the game isn't "bad" just not "the best thing ever"

Fond memories of playing Doom 2 network games in the highschool computer lab...in a custom level of our school. It was great.

it'd be cheaper and faster for them to just buy it back

In a campaign I was in, I had a warrant out on me. I told the other players I was sick of being a wizard and was going to reroll a ranger, so one day my character just walked away and was kidnapped - when in "reality" I went off with some other group, learned how to wear leather armor and a mask, and now carry a…

second point, a million internets to you.

Oh lord. I can't even count the number of "professionals" who didn't realize they could route/manage the cables behind the board. I've seen some pretty massive rats nests - even on cases with a window on them. It makes me sad.

I've always just used sysprep to wipe the config. Seems fine. Been using the same install for 3 motherboards now (though my registry is likely bloated :P)

And yeah, if you have an ASUS motherboard, you'll get a nifty little Q-connector that lets you connect everything outside of the case. Good for you. That must be super great. The rest of us will be over here, squinting and biting our tongues, pushing and praying.

never said it didn't, and I'm not jumping to any conclusions about the victim assaulting the officer - you can see it in the video

Of course the victim is partially at fault. She assaulted a cop. You assault a cop, you're going to be arrested. You continue to resist, you're going to get hit in order to stop the continued assault. This isn't a case of "she deserved it for being drunk in the highway", but direct causality. Victim blaming is…

No, I am not victim blaming. I clearly said both are at fault and that the officer did apply excessive force.
