I think it's totally fine to slap anyone in the face who grabs your crotch without your consent.

No! That line was going to be timeless!

I believe in Wizards from the Moon. :(

Here is my attempt to summarize this super complex issue in what I think is the most fair way possible:

Because of historical persecution in Europe, during a time when Nationalism was a popular philosophy, some Jews and some anti-semites proposed that the only solution was to create an exclusively Jewish nation.…

The video being worse doesn't mean that these tweets should be dismissed as just "teens making horrible statements", this isn't just people being "idiots" because they're "left to their own devices" on social media. Not only do these tweets have consequences, but they're also evidence of something larger and endemic.

Of course it's okay. We're talking about a 9-year-old, not a 4-year-old.

"The term "manic pixie dream girl" has become so embedded into our cultural lexicon"

I have no feeling that this guy deserves to live, but I still can't support the death penalty as a policy. There could always be a risk of executing an innocent person, and the cost of executing someone, with the lengthy appeals process, is far more expensive than simply housing them for life.

Yeah, I got into a discussion about this years ago regarding substance use, and someone (rightfully) corrected me that the use of substances is legal, but possession or sale is not (cigarettes obviously are legal.) I looked into it more, and learned that in most jurisdictions (I couldn't find any otherwise) legal…

That depends on when/where you're in high school. It was when I was in HS, but not when my older cousins were, at the same school.

I'll be curious to see how Jezebel handles the news that Oberst's accuser admitted today that she made the whole thing up "for attention." I haven't seen a Jez article yet on it, but in light of some of the commentary on the linked Oberst article here, I think community response will be interesting.

As for this case,…

I disagree. "We might have read things differently" implies that he is not certain that the sex* was consensual. Had be obtained clear, enthusiastic consent, he would not be questioning whether or not he misread the situation.

He's essentially admitting that it's possible he raped this accuser because he "misread"…

One should not brush off allgegations like this.

Since the purpose of the came is to cross boundaries and cause offense, your style of play seems to undermine the purpose of the game ... why not just buy apples to apples instead?

I don't think we have enough information yet to know what really happened, but the part where he goes, "We might have read things differently" is pretty disturbing.

But the quizzes that tell us which Harry Potter house we'd be in still hold up, right?

"After Jada finished telling her story, SuChin Pak said, 'That's a very plausible story. That can happen at parties.' Okay? Thanks for telling us you believe her."

Bully? LOL I love how you have no idea what it means to appeal to a female crowd. Here's your first lesson: they're people, treat them as such, and you'll win game of the year in writing. Just like the creators of Last of Us who mentioned keeping the lessons of anita sarkeesian in mind. And did the people who enjoyed…

Just because girls won't play video games with you doesn't mean they don't play video games.

This costume says: "fuck you Ubisoft" all over it. I like that, i really do.
