“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”

Everyone I know who voted Johnson voted Republican down ticket. That’s just 3 people and completely anecdotal, but if you really forced Johnson voters to pick Trump or Clinton, I’m not sure it would’ve swung the election in her favor anyway.

“Seriously though, the vaping community is all about hacking theirs for “more power” so the odds of a battery blowing up in those seems significant enough to warrant a wariness.”

Because hipsters, amiright?! Aren’t they so stupid? Just so dumb, I can’t believe it, let’s laugh at em!

Dismissing Beauty and the Beast as Stockholm Syndrome is a sizzling hot take, and frankly incredibly insulting to Belle. Ignoring the original story (which is hundreds of years old) and looking at the last Disney version, Stockholm Syndrome simply doesn’t apply.

Okay, I may be taking on the entire Internet on this one, but I honestly think Beauty and the Beast gets an unfair rap on that count. Because the thing is that BatB does not adhere to the cultural norm of abusive relationships. Belle doesn’t believe she can change Beast in that film. Belle doesn’t try to do anything…

Exactly. Thank you. This is like an article saying ‘ooh, someone’s phone battery exploded in their pocket, that’ll teach people to not want to take photos, call people, use social media, stay connected, etc.’ :/

She can play the girlfriend of humans or CGI monsters. Who says there aren’t interesting, complex roles for women in Hollywood?!

This is pretty much it. This is the second article I’ve seen Gizmodo put out against vaping, which seems to tell me that the current popular trend is to bash the crap out of it.

Most vapes and vape batteries are made in China, so that’s not especially strange. Some batteries go bad. It happens when quality control is not so good. Most of the time when these things happen it’s because people are modding their vapes or they’s careless with handling. Cloud Chasers are notorious for this, and…

What does improper battery safety have to do with vaping? If you want to make a point you should start by having a point first

I think the DS, and by extension, the 3DS nailed dual screen gaming where it mattered. Yes, a lot games didn’t exploit dual screen to full effect but the ones that did were excellent. Even the “book” style gameplay was amazing within the games that did it. And let’s not forget The world ends with you, which was one of…

Okay, so no real guns were being sold, and no replicas of real guns were being sold. However, a group at a ComicCon — where all but one person in the Stormtrooper picture atop this story is sporting a firearm (albeit not real) — is suggesting that, hey, since there are a lot of guns out there, maybe you should be safe…

Yeah, comics have a long history of being anti-gun...

The receiver legally *is* the gun. Saying you “just have to machine the receiver and barrel” is akin to suggesting that a block of raw metal is a gun, since all you have to do is machine it into one.

if you were born in the PR go for it. But get out of this country if you love it so much.

Gender Norms =/= Homosexuality, she’s canonically Russian, not canonically homosexual, I assume thats why the writer focused on the facts rather than a fan’s interpretation. She very well could be somewhere in the LGBTQ spectrum, and I believe blizzard deliberately left that to interoperation. However I personally…

On the one hand, I think it’s great that Overwatch has a gay character and, if it IS Zarya, that’s awesome. On the other hand, I dunno. It seems kind of... I’m not sure what the precise form of prejudice is, that they tell us there’s a gay character and the entire internet just collectively decided “It’s her. The girl…

Beyond fanart, fan theory, and fanfics, Zarya is also the kind of woman/character who becomes an icon for LGBTQ people.

The Wii “birthed” shovelware? Man, you must be young. Shovelware is as old as software itself, and there was plenty of it on e.g. the NES.
