I worked on AC for a number of years. I haven’t logged on in probably six or seven years, but it is quite devastating to see it go. Like saying goodbye to my 20s all in one fell swoop. I was hoping to run my son through some of the quests I’d made.

It wasn’t long ago when I jumped back on DAoC and Ultima Online just to see what has happened in all these years. I played them back around when they first came out and I was in my early teens or so. I went back to the old spots I always hung out around when I was younger.

Oh how I loved that town. The empty bar up the hill was my mule spot for ages. Probably a lot of people’s. I was also quite fond of Qalaba’r.

Do you remember when the shadows invaded?

It’s funny how we can become more attached to a virtual world than much of the real world. This is heartbreaking to me because unlike the real world, this is gone forever.

I don’t mind at all if people find it deplorable, after all, we all have our political views. I personally support the temporary travel ban, but I think it needs opening to legal green-card and current visa holders ASAP, and the Trump administration needs to find a permanent solution to vetting these potential…

Honestly, it’s not a “Muslim Ban”. It’s a temporary ban on travel into the United States from *any* citizen of one of those 7 countries (Muslim or not), mostly due to the fact that they are ridiculously war-torn, and have no good documentation for easy thorough vetting of their refugees or emigrants.

So, c’mon, lets…

“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights.

“For male showrunners, sexual assault is always the go-to when looking for ‘traumatic backstory’ for a female character.”

What happened? Life. What a life she has had and continues to have.

You know what, if you’re so worried that people who serve your kid are only in it for a paycheck, perhaps you should insist vthat only those who will do it for free be allowed to. See how well that works.

People are overreacting. I can’t help but chuckle at the people that think Trump being president is literally the end of the world. At worst he’s a shitty president for 4 years and then someone better comes along and undoes the damage hes done, at best he, uh, makes the country better I guess.....people are so…

Pretty broad

“Basic TV standards” such as don’t give people advice on how to hide their acne with makeup. Gotcha.

I wouldn’t say our system is supposed to be about rehabilitation—some think it SHOULD be, but I don’t think it actually is. It’s about retributive justice, and the rehabilitation aspect is a mitigation. That’s why there’s a sentence, but you MAY be paroled IF you dance the right dance—the first part is retributive…

I don’t know anybody who has seen it or even really wants to see it.

Independence Day: Resurgence unlike Ghostbusters, is a sequel, not a reboot. Same production crew, director and most of the original cast, continuing the original story. The Ghostbusters pitch was basically *Hey look, Ghostbusters with women and part of the original cast to play it safe*.

Not sure I see the annoyance about this here. IF we assume this report is worth anything, then it shows that men spend more time at work and in leisure because women spend more time on chores and WAY more time on childcare. That sounds about right.

Your writing style is absolutely the worst ...

I’m not sure the best way to fight the patriarchy is to casually devalue the fact that it adversely affects men as well.
