My biggest peeve is people who can’t merge onto an interstate at high speed. I drive a truck for a living and I see this all the time. The way it works is you need to be at highway speed at the end of that on ramp. And yes, that involves pressing the gas pedal. You don’t slowly accelerate down the ramp and then take…

Because they suddenly decided that this ostensibly strong, confident female character, who has just given birth to new babies that need her, suddenly decides to die in the most eyerollingly weak female way ever (“I just can’t live without my man”). We can handwave the continuity error in any number of ways (Leia’s…

Agreed! Most nerds know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of exploitation and harassment, so to engage in it themselves seems especially un-self aware and craptastic. It makes me think of GamerGate and all the HORRIBLE stuff that goes on in the gamer community. We’re supposed to be better than that!

The internet says that Tom is worth $4 Million. Not riches by today’s standards, but the wolf is comfortably far from his door. Best of luck, Tom.

I know I am a video game nerd, because the mention of his name makes me think of Maniac:

I’m surprised there isn’t a fan conspiracy theory built around that typo... It’s an alternate Sam. the real Sam made it home... or some such wacko theory.

Is it January 2017 yet? I’m pretty much dying, waiting for The Expanse to come back.

And this is why I can’t take the just get a thicker skin when dealing with online harassment seriously. Every human being is different and can handle a different amount of toxicity. You can have a thick skin, but day after day nonsense by “fans” has to be draining and made all the more worse by the fact there is…

While most some of the Steven Universe every fandom is supportive and welcoming, there is a small subsection that’s known for being extreme and hostile under the guise of inclusiveness something else.

Those last two episodes wiped out any good will I had. I got to the end of the last one and thought “Now I remember why I hate Chris Carter so much.”

Yeah, I didn’t go in with high expectations (I learned that lesson about The X-Files years ago ha) but I think it ended up being bad in ways I hadn’t imagined it would be.

Nope, that episode featured a trans woman playing a prostitute, a hotel owner spying on women (and mulder dismissing this as !!not a crime!!), and a random character having a fantasy where a feminist icon turns into a sex object.

It was Chris Carter. Fox keeping it on as their cash cow didn’t help. But Chris Carter has always been the face of getting out there and saying that the show has to reach a broader audience and become accessible, if Fox was the source of that he didn’t have to put a face to it, so I’m cool with him taking the blame.…

Back taxes man. They’re a pain when you come back from the dead.

I requested a refund this morning, sent a support ticket, tweeted Pokevision my support and niantic my displeasure, and left a one star review for the app. I’ve not opened it since I heard the news, and don’t intend to unless I see Pokevision up and running again.

For me the main issue is that Amazon video isn’t available outside of the US. Neither is Hulu. I’d love to sign up for Amazon Prime along with my other streaming services, but meh. When they don’t provide customers with a legal method to watch their shows..

You and I must have slightly differing definitions of “pretty good” then, because only discussing the first three episodes and then cramming the rest of the season in while doing the finale and completely failing to mention one of the series’ most popular and eagerly-awaited characters being cast months ago seems…

This is why I stopped bothering with the “battle system”. I’ve watched gyms change hands 4 or 5 times over a 15 minute period. The only people who have time to grab their defender bonuses are those who are smart enough to do it immediately after winning the gym or those who gym troll late at night.

I love her so much. I hope she has a huge, happy and successful career.

Yeah no. You degrade those whose hobbies and interests you consider immature but you’re typing your grievances on machines that were made and innovated by those very same geeks and nerds.
