According to the game (in one of those little notes during the long loading screen), skulls are for enemies above your level that might be to tough for you right then.

Wait, why is this tacky? Is it because we assume she was just trying to be cute/shill herself for the movie role? Cause I think it’s awesome to, on that dickweasel’s birthday, remind everybody what he did and who to....victims don’t get taliked about enough.

Mine arrived approximately twenty minutes ago. I’m downloading the half-a-gig day one update. My box wasn’t smushed, my case was intact. Everything’s pretty. Unfortunately, and I knew this but I’m still sad, my phone doesn’t fit in the Pipboy, so I can’t play around with the settings. Interestingly, it comes with a…

Who you are is not up to society to determine.

When do we get our spoiler thread to rant about the ending?! So gorram angry...

Also, he thinks a 20% tip is generous?! 15 is standard...nobody’s falling over themselves for his extra 5% (especially since in some circles 20% is the new 15%). I’m not rich. And I’m an asshole—I actually have tipped 0% before for VERY bad service. But 15-20% is just default. When I’m douchily patting myself on the…

Lamy Safari: it’s a fountain pen because I’m a pretentious douche, but: writes well (even on nitrile gloves), swappable nibs, piston fill or cartridge, never leaks really.

That game came out around my birthday when I was [younger than I am now] years old. I played it SO MUCH. It was terrible, sure, but...this was PS1, a lot of these games were terrible. Tank controls: Uggh. I could beat it without saving it at all, and in less than 3 hours. IIRC, you could carry your inventory over in a…

This usage point is not the point generally made when discussing gendering in language. Or at least, it’s not the point being made by the equality side of the equation. Again, we come back to the idea that keeping “fireman” and saying “we’ll just use it to refer to both” wouldn’t solve the problem, because there would…

The stance you’re taking doesn’t support any language changes—you’re focusing on usage to the exclusion of etymology—even when that etymology is still relevant. The morphene “man” IS the gendered part of fireman. Whether you argue it’s because of usage, or you argue it’s because of etymology, it 100% IS what makes the…

It most certainly IS the morphene man that makes it gendered. Inasmuch as “man” has gendering. You can’t simply handwave that away and argue usage, because if you do you’re saying that we could have kept fireman and just through “usage” removed its gendered aspect—and that’s absurd.

You say that “Many people have a negative reaction to calls that the name for feminism be changed because some hear it as an insistence that we are in a post-feminist society…” but while I get that, I do, that’s not compelling response to the issue. When we’re talking about principles, emotion doesn’t negate the…

Thank you for your response (though Kinja didn’t notify me); and thank you for it not just being a knee-jerk of assuming I’m a douchebag. This actually is something that I care about; language is important to me. Probably more so than most.

Fun fact: “Cynic”, etymologically, means “doglike”.

I’m in the grays, and I know a comment like this is never going to get me out of them.

I’m a Golden Girls Superfan, and You Should Be, Too

I preorder when: I know I want the game (sequel usually) and I’m getting something. Like with fallout New Vegas, or with Fallout 4; I was gonna get it anyway, and I got physical stuff. Otherwise I probably won’t preorder. The have been rare exceptions, but the game had to really max out the “I want to buy this for…

I literally just bought the record of Rum, Sodomy, the Lash today! Almost got If I Should Fall From Grace With God instead.

That’s not how you said your qualification, but the point largely irrelevant. As is the difference between “could have fallen thru the cracks” and your initial statements that “chances are” he couldn’t have gotten her in.

“I didn’t make a sweeping statement about all the states, just the ones I know which aren’t even specified.”
