I was quite aware who you were responding to - I thought, mistakenly (perhaps), that you were implying that while you defined the Sony hack as terrorism, but disagreeing with the article's main point, which is that defining the Sony hack different than "just trolling" of women on the internet is hypocritical.

Wow, I was confused there. The title of this post made me think that she was a woman from the future that was using some sort of technology to jump into people's lives and experience them from her perspective. I was like, wait, Silverman is doing some weird scifi thing on HBO? That's different.

Believe me, that's fucking terrorism. Using harassment, fear and the threat of harm to achieve an end is the very definition of terrorism.

While I got introduced to ASMR via GentleWhispering, I've actually enjoyed Heather Feather's videos a lot more. I haven't really gotten the tingle thing going, it's been amaaaazing for my insomnia - instead of lying their for hours and eventually getting up and doing shit while daylight marches towards me, I listen…

I would say that she and Dottie Sandusky can start a club, but friends who've paid a lot more attention to that case are convinced Dottie knew the whole fucking time.

Wait, are we sure this isn't a hilarious work of parody? Are we sure that she's not going to reveal in some previously-recorded bit that she and Amal collaborated to create a very spot-on and biting satire of the way that news media reacted to the wedding?

I know exactly what you're talking about. It seems like you might have a better handle on it, because I've found this fear paralyzing to the point of not being able to make any kind of major life decisions because contemplation my future means contemplating my death.

Your praise of moderate people is pretty hollow. Picking a middle between two opposite opinions does not mean that middle is more right then both extremes.

Well aside from the fact that you're mixing measuring distance in miles for one part and minutes in another (no problem with measuring distance in minutes, just be consistent), please go and update the wikipedia article on the Fayetteville metro area since apparently it's all kind of wrong.

I doubt she actually believes trans people exist. "Trans woman" to her is just pinhead progressive code for "predator in lady clothing camouflage".

You might not be able to use x-ray vision to see what parts people have inside stalls, but people are easily capable of looking at a person inside the non-stall portion of the bathroom (or hell, seeing them enter from outside and following them in, or lurking outside) and deciding that they don't think that person is…

If you're going to make the argument that it's incorrect to say "they're not from Fayetteville," based on Tontitown being part of the Fayetteville metropolitan area, then going for Brooklyn as your comparison point isn't really accurate.

Not trying to be snarky or an asshole here.

I think anal education would help too. Not getting pregnant that way.

End result: a large, uneducated underclass competing with each other for survival wages.

Congratulations on making the indefensible almost vaguely defensible.

Seriously, asking Bachmann "which Ten Commandments?" would be the highlight of my life. Well, that and discovering Nutella.

You're really asking why reading and believing a book full of contradictory nonsense, why reading a book full of abhorrent moral judgements that are supposed to be the very epitome of good morals turns people's brains to mush?

I liked how you started off by trying to put the Exodus story into a sociological and cultural context...but then segue into completely ignoring that they're utterly ahistorical.
