“But but but.... I really am special. And I do hate drama. And I do know at least some sportsball terms. Did I mention I grew up as a tomboy? And that I’m perfectly comfortable being in gym shorts and a ratty T-shirt all the time? I mean, except when I choose to glam up. Then I do it and do it well. But I don’t feel…

Yes, BAKING, that most hyper-masculine of activities.

There is a reason why all true MAN-CAVES must come with industrial-size Hobart mixers, Viking restaurant-quality ovens, and proofing drawers. Men will often engage in fisticuffs over whose cupcakes are better. The sheer testosterone required to mix flour with…

Someone on Jezebel — a regular, no less — once wrote a long and entirely serious comment explaining that she could only be friends with men because she was sarcastic, she liked horror movies, and she liked to bake, and women who share her specialized, hypermasculine interests just don’t exist!

What is ‘agonizing’ about this? And why is it ‘unfortunate’? I’m sure Lindsey is a nice enough person, but she’s the Leon Lett of snowboarding. And now there are other, better boarders ready to leave her behind. It’s the circle of life. Cruel as it sounds, you can’t count on getting a second chance. Nothing agonizing…

It almost seems like her entire string of failure all ties back to that unnecessary grab in Turino. She tempted karma, and it has had it in for her ever since.

“Running out of gas” really seems like it shouldn’t be an issue for an Olympic favorite in a two-minute event powered by gravity.

Agreed. Let us eliminate metaphors altogether and only ever speak in stilted, literal English.

Alternately, “You are tearing me apart, Lisa”

Oh shit, now we have to save vs necromancy or summon the ghost of the spoony one!

I’m not entirely sure

Exactly.

Yay! Let’s take phrases that most people use in a completely innocuous way, drag their racist origins out of obscurity, dust ‘em off, and teach them to everyone so that people can be offended by them again!

... you mean confirm that it’s a false history, right? Your comment makes it sound like you think wikipedia confirmed your point when it certainly does not.

Your knowledge of the land shall be great!

The fantasy RPG has been in early access since 2014, and while its path to launch has not been without controversy

The notion that “rule of thumb” originally refereed to it being legal to beat women with thumb-width sticks is almost certainly a myth. There’s no historical record of such a usage, and plenty of benign uses of the phrase going back centuries.

More seriously, I understand that when people talk about being sold down the river they are undoubtedly still being treated better than a misbehaving slave.

At the same time, when people get very hungry before dinner they aren’t “starving” and when someone had to wait a long time for something it wasn’t literally…

If Lu Bu can’t outright kick your ass the first time you meet him then they fucked up plain and simple.

Why didn’t they just slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The game’s open world is refreshingly grey and subdued compared to some of the oversaturated colors and high contrasts of games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Dragon Age: Inquisition”

The fuck? I guess we’ve come full circle in our criticism of video games. Feels like only yesterday we were complaining that every game had…
