I finally watched Arrested Development. Whole damn thing. What an amazing show.

If “me too” is a potential trigger then what isn’t? I mean, this site could rebrand itself as trigger.com. Idly scanning through the headlines is like a firing squad. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give words that kind of black magic power. It does not promote mental health.

I would have used your other sentence in the pull quote. Such are the pitfalls. Either way, it’s like carrying around a record to scratch or a mike to drop.

There have always been rock versions of this concept, and blues versions before that, and literary versions going back forever. Most of the complaints leveled here at “horrorcore” would apply to horror-anything. And it’s perfectly OK not to like horror but plenty of people do.

The same can be said of all violent crimes though. Some situations are more conducive to violent crime than others, and no one calls it victim blaming when we suggest avoiding those situations. Instead, we might worry about those suggestions being racist when individuals are judged on nothing but demographics and…

Leaving aside the “don’t dress hot” argument, some abusive relationships continue well beyond the first instance. Generally they shouldn’t. I understand the counterarguments to “just leave him,” and they aren’t without merit, but one cannot simply refuse all responsibility for the company one chooses to keep.

Back in the early 90s my friend built a sit-down cabinet for the (also timeless) X-Wing computer game, using the stick and throttle lever from an actual fighter jet. Can’t get much closer than that.

This is not an example of that. We don’t even know if his initial comment was directed her way. Probably not, given that this article indicates he wasn’t aware of her career history. So SHE jumped in to correct HIM, and she fumbled a key fact in her reply. If not for that mixup— her mixup— there’s a good chance the…

I agree, the sentiment seemed out of place in this comment thread. But it’s not a completely misguided question if you’re unfamiliar with the site.

I might, but will it all be capital letters? Not a big fan of that.

Moreso in recent years. It’s always had a liberal viewpoint but it’s become increasingly focused on gender and identity politics.

How much man could a manspain splain if a mainsplain could splain man?

Whine-boy? Wow. I’d suggest we need a new term to describe the way you talk to people, but we already have so many.

Nonsense. I pay attention to you!

Perhaps if Stanley were black it would be blacksplaining. But that gets awkward in a hurry, doesn’t it?

Not rigged because you know the rules ahead of time? I’m not sure that’s logical in the strictest sense. Point is, federal representation does not accurately reflect where the population stands. It’s tilted to the right. The merits of that are a separate argument.

I don’t understand how this is a story about gender.

Not really, not according to registrations or vote totals. And certainly not when accounting for rest of the world.

I agree, the left outnumbers the right by quite a bit.
