Well, my second daughter was just born, so I know of what it is I speak - and yeah, more than twice the stress.

I actually had no problem with the headline, and was mentally preparing a "you're over-reacting"-post (which is insanity wolf-levels of stupid as a cis-gendered white male, but I digress), when I read the first actual quote. Whew. That's some shitty coverage. So, yeah. Agreed.

You have a point about rape statistics, but I feel the negative spin on what is at the end of the day a positive is a bit silly. She's the product of one experience, and it's natural for her to talk about that. Secondly, it's not like she's promised to NOT talk about domestic- or date- rape, it's just that any quote…

Hmm. I'd be tempted to agree with you if Chris Roberts didn't already know pretty much everything about making a good spacefight-sim. A hug epart of the game can be copy-pasted from his brain.

By your reasoning, we should also ignore the age of consent if a 9-year-old "really" wanted to have sex with a 50-year-old. But the fact is, children cannot give consent because they're not mature enough to make an informed decision about what they want. The same goes for crime.

I'm sorry, but how the flying f**k can you try two 12-year-olds as adults? They're not adults, regardless of what they've done. At 12, there is plenty of time to "fix" them; in fact, given a stable environment it's likely they'll fix themselves, and turn out totally normal (unless they're mentally ill, in which case…

Yeah, they're mostly cuddly, since they have no real influence over politics. There was even a government minister who was almost ousted from her position after it was revealed she was part of an evangelical church.

This reminds me of a story which is sort of the opposite - in agnostic Sweden, a single company makes all those little boxes with the button you press to cross the street at a traffic stop. Turns out they're all die-hard Christians, and the pictograms on the box (a sun, a hand and a man) actually means "the only way…

Huh. I'd probably write out the numbers using letters, then turn them into new numbers (15,21,15,21,15,15), then add the modifier (+2 in this example), then write the numbers in my own language and multiply vowels, which would get me the example password (if I login as Urabutln) !172317231818RwBttCwtSob48btln&

I'll answer your second question here as well:

No idea, obviously, but this sounds perfectly believable simply because it's such a small and petty nothing. Usually there's a lot of preamble, but the straw that breaks the camel's back is usually a tiny piddling thing.

It's considered gender-biased to call it maternity-leave in Sweden - it's parental leave.

Hmm. I'm male (and Swedish), and it's 8 hour of work, then 3 hours with the oldest daughter (until she falls asleep) while my wife takes care of the baby. Then I do the dishes and clean the kitchen. Then I get the choice between 2-3 hours of free time and 5 hours of sleep, or 7-8 hours of sleep. Don't think this is an…

Don't miss out on Hotline Miami and Spelunky - they may not be made for it originally, but they are both at their best on the Vita. Come back and tell us how you got on!

Actually did this yesterday. Also added some parmesan- and Västerbotten-cheese rinds and dry-bits, does wonders for the final product.

To be fair to her, this doesn't seem to be her usual operating procedure, but a response to threats made towards her person at this particular venue.

I'm confused. This means we're now firmly FOR male baby shower's, correct?

Just to add to my previous post, they've now streamlined the system so that you can use your smart-phone as a decoder - since you need to have the phone, the pin for the phone, and then the pin for the app (which gets a signal once you try to log on on your computer, which in turn prompt you to enter your pin) it is…

Personally, I feel Atheism has aqcuired a cultish religiosity all its own; and for the same reason I can't trust religions, I can't trust Atheists. The only true wisdom is agnosticism, and fuck Hutchens and his awful pigeon-holing of agnostics. The only religion I can respect is Baha'ism.

Sorry for the late answer - but here it is:
