The structural challenges are huge in getting more women into e-sports I think and you hit on a big one. The people that go to tournaments largely are not representative of the at large gaming pool so its hard for a woman to fit in the stands let alone on stage.

I don’t know if you can modify the $1 margs at Applebee’s but it’s worth a shot, man.

General rule, ask for one modification. More than that, pick another dish, or prepare to be shot down. I have to ask for modifications all the time, due to allergies. However, I have already looked at the menu before I hit the restaurant, know if they have an allergen menu, and have two choices in mind. I don’t want…

I’m all for a long-ish movie if the pacing and storytelling are spot on, but I admit that it is a bit weird to have to think about my food and beverage consumption choices HOURS before arriving at the theater. “What’s for lunch? Chipotle? No, I can’t do Chipotle, I’m seeing Star Wars tonight. Yes, you can come. No, we…

They need to turn the volume down - these kids with their rock n roll music.

Exactly. Don’t spend it on loot boxes. Spend it on Blizzard’s next game.

Then when my supervisor called me in to talk about it. She was like didn’t you suspect? And I said I figured her rich baby daddy gave her money. Also who gives a fuck? Although I did call my white co worker once, when a white man walked in and wanted to buy a 100,000 dollar refrigerator in cash. I told her these…

Cashiers at these places never make enough money to actually shop at them, so when they see someone like the woman here shopping there, they can’t stand it for some reason *wink wink nudge nudge*

Have you looked at the GetOffMyLawn 3000? I hear it is boss.

Because your first comment was laced with judgement, not only facts. I’m only speculating though, it didn’t bother me particularly.

It’s even funnier on the opposite end of the spectrum. “How do we market a computer for people who know nothing about computers?” Said the marketing manager in a board room meeting. “HP Thinkbook. It helps you think gooder.” His colleague replied. “Perfect. Print it. Sell it.”

You smugly make fun of our glorious PC master race PCs and components, but what about your Xbox One Xbox One Xbox One X then?

You could be right, but I think you’re basing your argument on the false assumption that it’s the same people working on both types of problems. This is most likely not the case, since art direction and server stabilization are not done by the same people or teams.

I agree. I’m not buying that he believed she was awake. I think he thought he could maybe convince her to get into it if she did wake up. It was entitlement to someone else’s body no matter what. Idk. I’m feeling so angry and sad after reading this.

Because our society wants men to get away with sexual violence.

No, he said what he meant. He had an awareness but somehow, in the moment, didn’t see what he was doing as being the same as what those other bad men did. It’s all in there, the way it snapped into focus as soon as she asserted herself. The stuff about the consequences only came later.

This is really amazing & powerful. You are a very brave and strong person.

The premise is interesting. “I didn’t want to be one of those people’ implies that prior to becoming one, they were acutely aware of what sexual assault was and what ‘those people,’ the perpetrators, are.

Bebop isn’t so binge-watchy for me because you can watch any one episode separate from all the others and, more or less, it completely makes sense. That’s my metric for binge-watching. Fully admit it’s subjective.

Well, seeing that I literally just wrote this article, you are asking the wrong person.
