awwww

My issue is to avoid books that might possibly introduce self-doubt (even if they seem to “resolve” it by the end) to very young children. The brains of little kids (think 3-7 or so) are crazy. Think of the logic of little kids just learning language. Also, they’re so young that, if in a healthy environment, they…

Didn’t he make a movie about street harassment called “The Pick Up Artist”?

People who buy multi-million dollar homes are clearly wealthy. Wealthy people tend to be older people. Older people have problems peeing. More peeing means more trips to the bathroom.

Maybe, but the topic indicates she’s trying to make something “important”.

You have to be careful about books like this targeted at very young kids. A kid with the kind of conscientious parents who would buy something like this, probably feels pretty decently about themselves. We might assume that the young child will get the message “beauty is within, and not related to your relative skin…

I thought this trend was dead.

It’s like every article is:

D:OS has amazing coop design - but it requires a much greater commitment on the part of both players to get into it. I tried id with my son, and every time we actually had time to do it together, it was like “wait, what are we doing right now? What button does what? we’re being attacked - no we’re dead”

ha! I have that same affliction - I only do local MP with my friends or my kids. Never online with strangers.

I would like to add:

Nothing he said was wrong (though whether there was general conflation was debatable - on the macro level it seemed like there was - maybe not as much on the micro level). He just said something not 1000% in-line with utter, complete outrage at a time when “ain’t nobody got time for that”, especially from a male of…

My main gaming rig is connected to an 80" 1080p Vizio set. Game mode provides plenty low latency, and frame rate is unaffected, though capped at 60. The only real drawback for me is ergonomics for mouse/keyboard  aren’t ideal on the couch. The other benefit is that it’s run through my 5.1 HT sound system.

telling literally everyone in the world that he was pushy on a first date, and describing it in porno-level detail is not dictionary-definition empowering.

I have a 16 year old daughter. I have spoken with my ex about it, and we are in sync on the talk we’ll have when she starts dating

Thank you so much for this take.

I’d love for affirmative consent to be a thing. Take all the bloody guesswork out of it.

Curious - are we talking about actual rape apologists or “rape apologists”?

AVClub generally had the most civil, thoughtful, and amusing comments out there. Thing is, the site was about the content, with a little news, but mostly about discussions about movies and shows, old and new. And while the folks may have come from all sides of the political spectrum, we were there to commisserate on…

Plus witch hunt is a modern term to describe stuff just like this. Central Park Five - witch hunt. Duke Lacrosse - witch hunt. Day care abuse scandals in the 80's - witch hunt. Mccarthyism - witch hunt.
