The proportion of gay people in the population doesn’t have anything to do with how much content is written for gay characters.

Proportional representation would mean a lot of people (raw numbers, not in relation to the full population) have next to nothing.

God, yes. Obama would be gone in days if that ever happened.

The arc including the strip about the dinner for Charlie Brown is one of the cruelest in the history of Peanuts, which is saying something.

Can we assume that those of use who have VLR on Vita will be able to buy 999 a la carte?

I got good value out of my Vita—too few exclusives, yeah, but since I never owned a PS3 and don’t want to dig out my PS1 or PSP, I’ve never felt like it was lacking in titles. I hope it’s got another couple of years of third-party support left, but I wouldn’t regret my purchase even if we never got another release in…

It’s still beyond me how SE could botch this series so badly. It should be an anime Mass Effect, and yet just about every entry in the series strands the dull protagonists on a backwater planet for almost the whole game. How about giving the player a ship, and multiple planets to explore at length, and a futuristic…

Shep Smith is trying to scare his audience into behaving intelligently, and Matt Drudge is smirkingly telling his audience to stay in harm’s way because liberals amirite?

Yeah, October is not the time to start thinking about holiday spending. It’s the time to start panicking about what to get everyone and where we’re going to go—it should already be 3/4 paid for.

Why does anyone care that it’s a stock photo? If people hadn’t gone rooting around for it, nobody would have known where it came from.

What is so difficult about making brownies from scratch? Maybe ten ingredients instead of three. Mix, pour, bake.

If you’re using credit responsibly, you should barely notice the impact of a contested charge before it’s been resolved—you won’t be near the limit anyway.

There are many more than three parties. And since we don’t require them to form majority coalitions in America, and we don’t vote by ranked ballots, by supporting the minor ones we’re simply shrinking the support of the major party we’re ideologically closer to.

Konami wants to succeed at this, but they got rid of the people who know what they’re doing, and other competent people with reputations in the industry don’t want to go anywhere near them.

Jesus christ, just read Politifact if you want to hear about lies. Factcheckers find Hillary to be on the honest side as politicians go, and Trump off the charts.

Who do you think the moron would actually have running things?

If you’re trying to make the case that Clinton is genuinely terrible and not held to a different standard than male politicians, it’s really not helpful to keep bringing up the Lewinsky affair. It suggests something ugly behind the animus toward her, something that goes well beyond her actions and her positions.

“but with all the smoke created around her, there is a fire somewhere.”

I think it mattered in my situation. I rehabilitated my credit (pushed it above 700) well before I paid off my substantial credit card debt, and it meant that I had access to low-interest consolidation offers. It made paying off the balance immeasurably easier.

Yes, they can still be good friends. There are male characters who are just good friends *everywhere* in film. There will continue to be long after Star Wars ceases to be a thing. Gay male couples in blockbuster franchises? Not so much.
