FFXIV has a very strict “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about mods. People use them, but if you talk about them in game you can get banned. Mostly it’s aimed at parsers, but technically, even graphics enhancements or mods to put hats on your bunny people are against the TOS.

The difference is that Zimmerman identifies as Hispanic, and his supporters leaned into that because he couldn’t possibly have been racist if he’s a minority. Once the trial was over, well, what do you expect from one of them? Rittenhouse is a lily white, young angel, poor persecuted dear.

I think the only option for any kind of accountability would be in a civil trial by the living victim and the family of the dead victims, and even that’s a long shot. I can easily see a white jury thinking that they got what they deserved.

You left out the part where the judge compared him to MLK:

Flag and ignore.

Ironically, he’s aligning with white queers who want to pretend queer people of color don’t exist. 

Nope. I’m a figment of my own imagination.

One of the administrators is currently the president of West Virginia University. He’s backpedaling so fast he could provide enough energy to kill coal in WV:

It takes anywhere from 2-5 years to complete the accreditation process. The grifters will have gotten what they can out of this and be on to the next thing by then.

Manfred may be unique in that as far as I can tell, he actively dislikes the sport he’s in charge of. Everything he’s done has been to the detriment of baseball.

Definitely! Exercising more is good! Eating more fruits and vegetables is good! But as you say, carb exclusionary diets aren’t always good, and thin doesn’t necessarily equal healthy—or fat unhealthy. There’s also a hell of a lot of bias involved in the dietetics profession, as Black dietician Jessica Wilson described…

You want to talk about sexually explicit material? Bible has more rape and incest in the first few chapters than in all of Game of Thrones.

I’m happy for this young woman, but I feel like it’s really important to note that this level of weight loss over a short period of time is not sustainable, healthy, or possible for many people. Everyone’s body is different, and simply cutting out an entire food group and exercising more isn’t necessarily going to…

Yes. Also, who died and made him King of Black America? I didn’t vote for him to speak for me.

“Why can’t you people stop protesting and get oil tankers named after you like I did?”

She’s been using the memory of those those four little girls ever since I’ve been aware of her—which has been since 1987, when she spoke to the incoming Black students at Stanford my freshman year. When she became Provost and Black students confronted her about campus policies, she immediately went to “How dare you /…

Why does one of the few Black men in hockey have to be 1) a complete asshole 2) a fucking idiot, and 3) play for my team? 

I want to ask someone who claims they’re doing their own research about the methodology for their clinical trials, with references to the literature and links to the IRB approvals.

Yeah, there’s no such thing as queer Black folks. None at all.

Same! I am so excited for this!
