Well, you know why we do the eye-roll whenever we say "white feminist", amirite?

Why? Probably because "feminism" isn't the same thing as "girls-only-club." Because feminism is about creating equality and parity. Because silencing the voices of allies creates an echo chamber where people stop paying attention. Because not all women, much less all people, have the same experiences in life or even

I noticed this with some of my friends, as well. And the converse is also why there's a vocal population of "men's rights advocates" who fervently welcome women who support them as fellow MRAs, too.

You hit it on the head. Because of his looks, because he's not white and buff but instead brown and skinny and short and still looks sort of like he's in high school, he won't be seen as a posterboy for "feminist guys who Really Really Get It".

This comment reads a LOT like somebody looking down on a person because they got into something cool because of somebody else's influence. Sort of like the hipster cliche of mocking somebody else by saying "oh yeah, I liked that band before they were cool." It isn't doing anybody any good, because the whole point of

Sheena is! a punk rocker! Shee-ee-eena is! a punk rocker! oh! oh!

So, like, are you white?

Oh yeah, done it before. "Hey [bartender], her next drink's on me." Bartender serves her next whatever, I nod in her general direction, cheers to you etc. It was only slightly awkward when one time a lady came out while I was smoking a cigarette to thank me; I just said "It was a pleasure. Hope you enjoy it!" I mean,

Man, your response above smacks of avarice and stinginess. I feel bad for you. Liquor isn't something worth hoarding. It's supposed to be a lubricant. You can't take it with you to your grave, Scrooge.

Zing!!

What if I asked the bartender to get the lady another of whatever she was having, because it looked like she was having a bad day, but didn't want to feel obligated to converse?

Two of my friends met each other on Tinder, and they're awesome and are in a great relationship! (I am not them and have only said "hi there! :) " to somebody once on Tinder because it feels hella awkward)

wait wait wait, the glove you're taking off... that's the glove that fit, isn't it?

In the US, yes he is. Although National Geographic magazine had a great series of articles about him a few decades ago— but only snooty rich people and nerds read National Geographic.

Phantasy Star 2's on Xbox Live?! Buying a console is looking like a better idea week by week.

I think, in Shadowrun's case, it's both a postapocalyptic setting as well as a dystopic one. It works for both, as far as I can see.

I wonder if that (comparatively low resolution) presentation would work better on a TV than at high resolutions on a monitor?

Still wish that Shadowrun game for the Xbox 360 had a single player campaign. :(
