You can call your experiences by their names here. 

Why did you put sexually assaulted in scare quotes? You either were or you weren’t. 

Don’t leave. Use your purchasing power to help support those games and studios that don’t treat us like trash for not having penises. 

I won’t do you the discourtesy of trying to guess where, but maaaan, it’s tempting. 

My industry is 2/3 women, and my department is all women. It’s supportive as shit around here. I have never felt more respected and seen at a job in my life.

Hah, the schmuck next to me went “We get it, you read the book!”

I hadn’t, but she had. 

I got shouted at in a movie theater for spoiling Shutter Island during the trailer with a guess.

PAINFULLY obvious.

You did. I understood those graphs, because I passed econ 201.

An increase in the money supply will trigger a right-shift in the demand curve for most common economic goods, because people will have increased purchasing power to buy every consumer-demanded good — that’s what happens when consumers have increased…

It is, though. An increase in raw income across the board will cause a right-shift in the demand curve, causing prices to rise for all inelastic products. Nearly all consumer products are inelastic in the immediate term.

Increasing the money supply increases inflation, and increasing the money supply in a segment of the population (people who want to buy butter) increases inflation in the demanded goods of that population (people are willing to buy butter for $350 now have an extra $50, so they’re willing to pay $400 for butter).…

My guess is that with UBI you fuck up the money supply and get uncontrolled inflation, but recent years have demonstrated that some historical assumptions about how inflation works are fundamentally wrong. I’d need some serious economic analysis before I’d consider joining the Yang gang, though; his plan as currently…

Futurists have been saying that technological advancements will render human labor unnecessary since the spinning jenny was the latest and greatest. The capitalist class will always find a way to keep us exchanging labor for scraps. 

This fuckin guy. No, and by pulling out of the Paris Accord you’ve ensured it’ll go on yet longer. 

Control takes you on a fascinating journey through a monstrous office building full of occult horrors.

Aw. Poor Susan. I’m sad that she carries water for shitsquibs that want to force rape victims to give birth, though, so we can be sad together.

Bret Stephens: “I think that the worst way of dealing with hateful speech is to try and shut it down,” Stephens said in an interview with The Daily prior to his talk. “The answer to hate speech is more speech. Hateful speakers thrive on controversy that some universities thoughtlessly afford them by trying to ban…

Plus, give me a skewer of chicken hearts at a churrascaria, and I feel like a deservedly-worshiped dread god

Happy to be of help! I also grew up in Asian-friendlier parts before moving out to the desert, so Lee Lee is my jam. Their fish and meat counters are also amazing for things like LA-cut galbi, ikura, or black chicken.

ETA: They also sometimes have fresh Thai lime leaves and fresh curry leaves! 

If you’re in either of the metro areas, find a Lee Lee International Market. They have lumpia wrappers (and much more interesting Asian things) for sure. 

I actually had a tall ladyfriend lecture me about my 6' boyfriend (I’m 5'2"): I shouldn’t be taking a tall dude when there were unpartnered tall ladies!

I was in love with him (via the internet) before I had the slightest idea what he looked like. I’m only lucky that he’s jumbo.
