As a republican for 40 years, I’d call you a tad misinformed. So first, let’s give some facts:

It's not just that teenagers "don't want to" get up. It's that the research has consistently proven that later school start times are connected to better behavior and mental health, and sometimes better academic performance. So we shouldn't do something that is obviously more healthy for kids (and society, if you…

Teacher here—-a thousand times yes to this! Teenagers aren't lazy—they have different circadian rhythms. Frankly, it's amazing to me how many do okay 1st period when they are fighting to bring their systems online.

done.

Cheerios have a long standing history of being an interracial cereal

If you were dating and he said he wanted to downgrade to friendship status, that is not the same as being "friend-zoned." Being friend-zoned is when (in the victimized mind of the person using the term) the guy (it's usually a guy) wants to date the girl, but instead of asking her out he tries to be her friend. Then…

Because it's the Dane Cook of martial arts.

I was very anti-Tavi for the longest time. I thought she was almost too precocious and everyone was trying so hard to make her a thing, to make her into this little Anna Wintour in training, a tastemaker for the teenage set. But I've started to read her work and listen to her interviews (especially with Stephen…

She was all "don't worry, I didn't let him see which apartment I was in!" and we're all "WHY THE HELL DOES HE KNOW WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN???"

Does the living room count? I mean that's where the consols live.

I assume the sex would be a little self-righteous but entirely free of objections.

Having a booth at PAX is expensive as fuck. The people at Penny Arcade realized that so called "special" interests have smaller outreach and therefore have a harder time being able to afford purchasing booth space. To rectify this, they are giving away booth space in the diversity lounge for FREE. That's why it's a…

You've obviously never been to PAX nor know much of it. This is an "in your face" move. PAX, since the beginning, has had diversity, LGBTQ, and feminist related workshops. They are a significant part of the programming. The lounge is an additional feature that is organized in coordination with community and outreach…

Okay. Wait. I has a confused. It doesn't sound to me as though they are segregating anything. It sounds like they are creating an information station where underserved populations within the gaming community (read—not cis-straight white dudes) can get info on panels/etc that are being presented throughout the weekend…

But PAX already does have a anti-harassment (which all that falls under) policy, and will eject people for failing to comply with it. I remember reading that in PAXEast they kicked out some guys for harassing a group of cosplayers, and various other similar tales across various forms of the event.

Wait. How does a space that's specifically designed to be inclusive - with no evident restrictions on who can show up - qualify as a "segregated lounge"?

For some reason, the most amusing thing about this post to me is the fact that they made the door and windows out of Chinese characters.

I think you're missing the point a little. Note that this is coming from a huge Trek fan, possibly TOS most of all. The sexism in TOS is not blatantly reflected in the behavior of the men in the series (although they are often objectified or regarded as emotional messes), but in the way that the gender as a whole is…
