Overwatch is a ton of fun to play but not very fun to watch. The camera movements are abrupt and make it awkward to watch in first person and the game is so different from regular play it makes it difficult to learn any strategies that would translate to non professional gameplay.

Uh, this is America. People carry guns to the bathroom.

I don’t know, I’ve spent a lot of time at Joshua Tree, 29 Palms and other places around there and have run into some walking, talking definitions of sketchy. Charles Manson and his crew used to frequent the area around Amboy Crater. I always had a gun.

Right because Uber makes any sense at all. Sorry man, I have an MBA, and Uber’s valuation is baffling. People are setting fire to barrels of money in the hope that somehow they will eventually manage to remove the human element (drivers) and build a giant fleet of autonomous cars while also staying ahead of everybody…

I have a feeling you didn’t read the article, because Joshua was defending the innocuous shit that OTHER people found offensive.

TBF the article pretty explicitly defends him. It only embeds quotes from people who support him, includes his explanation for the gesture, and ends with:

Yep. Just 30 minutes ago, I called this network a self-parody of liberalism, where even the most innocuous shit gets shredded for being offensive.

Yeah, let’s blame it on those pesky millenials! Let’s not blame it on a range of motorcycles where the lightest weighs as much as the Death Star, the cheapest is still fucking expensive, the most powerful couldn’t pull the dick off a chocolate mouse, the most sporty has the dynamic prowess of a bag of shot badgers and…

There’s this certain toxic Hyper-Consumer attitude that permeates gaming. This self-aggrandizing view peddled by “consumer advocate” YouTubers convincing people who identify themselves as capital ‘C’ Consumers that they and their opinions are the most important things on the planet by virture of spending money. Their…

Goldeneye on the N64 would have cost a fuck ton more than most games today do at launch. Original price: GoldenEye 007 – $69.95 (Source: GamePro #108. Launch date : 25 August 1997. Cost in today’s dollars: ~ $106.

“Mansplaining” as being a disagreeable asshole used be know as was one of those things that before 2008 was just a considered a rude thing to do and was open to everyone since anyone could be an asshole. Now the person (usually a man) interrupting someone is not only an asshole, but we have a convenient term that…

yea, mansplaining should be a very specific definition: a man attempting to explain information to a woman because he assumes she does not possess this knowledge, when in fact she does.

Well actually, Love Actually is a terrible movie. If saying that makes me a manplainer, guilty as charged.

Exactly. I don’t know why we attach a gender to things like this. It creates a divide, which is what we’re trying to prevent.

It always has been. Men condescend disproportionately to women. Now that young women are, on average, more educated than men, and men are still explaining stuff we already know to us on a regular basis, this is getting named and called out.

Mansplaining is a thing... but it is also a term that is thrown around so frequently in online discussions to try and shut down a guy with an unpopular opinion (no matter how valid) as to be rapidly loosing its usefulness.

Do you feel the need to correct other people in casual conversations and regular day to day life? (as in, you’re not a parent correcting their child, a teacher, a trainer or in an instructional environment where you are in charge)

Of course.

I have never once read a comment on here that started with “No offence” and then managed to make it to the end of a sentence with perfect grammar and spelling. The brain must instinctively freeze up in self-defence after typing those words.

I’m team jerk guy fiance.
