They're really thinking of egalitarianism, nut humanism. Humanism is more the attitude that human beings have inherent worth outside the context of a deity or "supreme destiny" or whatever. Egalitarianism is more of a doctrine of the equality of mankind and the desirability of political and economic and social…

I'm a dude feminist. I would call myself a humanist (egalitarian) academic feminist, I guess. When I disagree with other purported feminists they sometimes want to strip me of the title, and such is the case with this site and article. "You're a feminist until you disagree with me, then you're not or you're the wrong…

I never really liked her character. Even if I grant she had the right emotions or whatever, there can still be a such thing as expressing your valid emotions in an invalid way. Even if I'm disappointed in my cheeseburger, I don't thereby get the right to loudly cuss out the BurgerKing staff. Someone who tells me to…

It sounds like Fred Armisen is kind of a GTA character already.

Yeah, I think so.

OMG this totally reminded me I have a waffle iron. Then it's like WHOOSH a flashback to when I bought it "I'm gonna make soooo many waffles" Rushed time image of iron collecting dust. My face, single tear.

Anything to distract you from the food.

I doubt there's a connection but: the House did recently get an influx of conservatives.... and Holder stepped down..... fuck it IDK.

Hey hey Emp in Yellow! I believe we've engaged in a similar conversation b4! How are ya? I think another problem with the satire is how it attacks all groups equally. That's a problem. Your point about South Park is spot on. I remember for a while I would think, "conservatives or liberals, they don't both EQUALLY…

Normal people? Ouch, there may be a better way to state that.

I didn't play the Ballad of Gay Tony, but how did they treat gays in that? Trans?

Good analysis. I don't think the game targets women badly "in particular". I do think previous games hae had much better female characters tho. As you say, basically EVERYTHING is handled with snark and crude jokes. (But in a way, maybe THAT WAS the point... that our culture basically does the same thing) However the…

Ever since my wife has my son I noticed a marked decrease in her sex drive, which I was told was completely normal as her body recovers from growing another person or whatever. I got that. But even before our child I was always the hornier one. I think (and hope) the old stereotype of the "caveman male want sex" is…

Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Eastwood

I'm a lot warmer because I just farted.

Unless you're playing scrubs, there's NO REASON ct should peek at double doors. Ts set up first everytime. Smoke that shit and camp B or something.

Wow what a sad story. And this kid seemed particularly depressed and hopeless, and like defiantly suicidal (it's a good enough reason for me to kill myself). I wonder how this could've been prevented outside of having better parents. Crisis recognition and prevention in the schools? More commercials advertizing help…

what makes you think my explanation was directed to "you girls"? Did I say "listen up ladies whist I explain hiphop, dumb broads"? I believe I directed my explanation to a person who defined freestyle as simply "rapping over a beat" leaving out the improv aspect, which is crucial. signed, someone so proud of your…

Isn't it the case that this is commonly accepted in pop music? I mean, no one thinks a singer is less a singer in that case. But I guess not the same for rappers, since a rapper pretty much IS their lyrics? Ok, I can get that, but I've been under the impression that rappers use ghost writers commonly too, but it's…

Understood. But isn't Iggy under fire for maybe not writing her lyrics? Taylor the same thing? I know they never ask a singer to write a song on the spot, but dammit maybe they should! Pop should take more cues from hiphop. I say, bring on the pop star freestyle battles!
