I’m a total Souls noob who’s never been good at or enjoyed really difficult games. I’m also someone who loved BotW and played it a ton, but didn’t actually ever ventured nto any of the main “real” dungeons, or Hyrule Castle, because what I enjoyed most about the game was just discovering interesting features and challe…

Yeah, I am genuinely confused about the Mako-hate in the LE. It drives fine, it shoots fine, and it goes up mountains fine.

Counterpoint: An unseen and unknown prior instance of something absurd, is the core to several well-loved running gags. E.g. the “that’s the second-biggest [absurdly oversized object] I’ve ever seen!” bit from the Monkey Island video game series (which TIL is itself likely a reference to a similar running gag in the Ge…

Hot damn, he paints minis too???

You say that so confidently, but could you find Seattle on an UNMARKED MAP?? Checkmate, libs!

Seriously. I could *mayyybe* wrap my mind around some asshole claiming it doesn’t make the top...five? Ten? (Because let’s be real, these people are not creative. They’ve been repeating the same handful of “reasons” to blame black people for our problems, for centuries.)

A someone with ADHD, I really hope that’s not how they do it still. So many of us struggle for years without actually falling behind academically in that sort of measurable way. Most of the ADHD women I know have similar experiences: understood all the material in every class, and coasted through K-12 on the basis of…

Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you two have a good relationship, and she sounds like a great kid. So admirable, that she was able to articulate all of that.

Knowing how to shoot guns will do nothing to protect her from men/boys she is close with. She’s statistically much more likely to be harmed by men she knows than by some stranger in an alley she needs to use a gun on.

I mean, yes, they perceive a double standard because they see “men facing consequences for their truly heinous actions” as victimization. They are unwilling to entertain any sympathy for the actual victims in these crimes, and they do not care about making the world safer for potential future victims.

This. I had a guy on OkCupid berate me for perceived rejection BECAUSE OF SHIT I PUT IN MY DATING PROFILE ABOUT MYSELF.

I believe part of the argument is based on the fact that Fortnite devs seem to have directly motion-captured/”traced over” the dances based on (copyrighted) videos of the performers doing these dances. If that ends up being true, they could be found to be derivative works, which is a copyright violation if done…

This. Double dipping is the perfect term for the phenomenon.

I think you’d be fine wearing one of the more basic wrap types like you linked and said you’ve been trying out. Ultimately, if it’s a really basic way of tying a scarf, its usage probably predates any specific culture, and it’s probably currently in use by a bunch of different cultures where women have hair that needs…

Seriously, there is not a single human being on earth that I would sign a letter like this for. Not a friend, not a parent, not my own partner, not my own kid, not my sweet old granny.

I read an article recently that listed the height and weight of each of the 3 missing kids. They were 15 and 16 years old, and none of them weighed over 90lbs. Those poor kids were starved for YEARS. It’s so gut-wrenching to think of them reaching out for help so. many. times. and every adult failing them at every…

Not true! Jr. goes to the gym to do literally the worst deadlifts you’ve ever seen in your life.

The New Deal was built around maintaining segregation and Jim Crow laws, and many unions excluded non-whites and women. So, no, capitalism still wasn’t “for all” even after being reined in by the New Deal/unions.

Ummm, can you name a single historical time when capitalism was “for all” and not a predatory, “top people vampire capital from everyone”?

Patricia, did you ever play the Hamtaro games back in the Gameboy Color/Advance days? I loved those games even though they were obviously skewed towards a younger audience, and it sounds like Detective Pikachu might push the same cutesy/whimsical buttons.
