Danny.J.Flynn, are you seriously asking what the difference is between sexism and sexual dimorphism?

The Janissaries are interesting. Originally they were the very cutting edge of the professional military revolution. Over time they morphed from the most disciplined and well trained troops in the world, to a completely regressive element that held back the modernization of the Ottoman empire. From fearsome shock…

No Agricola? Agricola is wicked fun.

Take a moment and enjoy your tea. Then get the fuck back out there and keep fighting! Life is better now than it has ever been. Why? Because we fight! Existence has always sucked, and will always continue to suck. We fight for a better tomorrow. We fight not for tangible benefits in our own life, but because we were…

From your lips to the ears of a nation.

Much as I hate New England, I love that factoid.

Bup, bup bup....pfffffFFFFFFfffffshhhh...let’s do this.

He’s like potato chips. I don’t even care about him enough to actually hate him, but I love love love hating him.

There is a quote from Courtney Love that is actually pretty deep. I can’t remember it right now, but every time I come across it I’m like: “Wait when did she get two brain cells to rub together?!!”

How about the parts where he completely fabricated entire conversations then attributed them to real people so he would have justification for the H.P. Lovecraft sized prejudices bouncing around in his head? Or perhaps it was the levels of self insertion that would make Harry Potter fan fiction writers blush? Guy was…

Yeah, and when I write a 20 paragraph screed about how the kids involved in model U.N. will grow up to have unfulfilling jobs, all while hiding behind the thought experiments of a dead nihilist philospher then that point will be germane to the conversation.

Also who the fuck even drinks coffee? Hot bitter liquid first thing in the fucking morning? Nobody actually does these kinds of conventional things I can’t understand because of my own slightly differing experiences.

Oh shut the fuck up Nate, you’re just trillion year old stardust recombined into the only carbon based life form to ever achieve higher consciousness. You ain’t shit Nate!

She is only 25. It’s possible (if unlikely) that she’s becoming a person.

Tried to edit my comment and failed. Turns out lobsters can make noises audible to human ears, but that is still not what you are hearing coming from the pot. Just kill ‘em before you boil, more humane that way.

His fiction is fine, his point-and-laugh ‘journalism’ makes me want to throttle him.

That sound is trapped air bubbles escaping from under the lobster’s shell. You can kill a lobster right before boiling it and it will still make those noises.

Ah, just fuck off already. Not everything is the height of culture and importance. It’s perfectly fine being able to enjoy an unremarkable day out. I don’t know what activities you propose when trying to pick up T.A.’s from NYU; but, trust me, they ain’t going to seem anymore special at the heat death of the universe.

You are correct it is Ohio State’s world and the rest of the Big Ten lives in it. Penn State is top 20 and dangerous, closer to top 30 than they are to legitimate playoff contention. They’re ranked so high preseason because of how they finished and Saquon Barkley being crazy fun to watch.
