The death of anybody is obviously a tragedy, but the fact that Kyoto Animation was the rare studio that aggressively hires women, pays well, and promotes them to leadership positions means the deaths of 34 members of it’s elite Studio One team is losing some of the top up and coming future female anime directors, lead…

I’m actually the Reddit user from the post cited here, specifically what causes the breakage is a small dome shaped hard plastic like material(It’s a composite material made from two compounds) that will wear over time and cause the dust and worn joystick to cause phantom movement essentially dust on the sensor…

So - here’s a quick story (my own): I was raped 29 years ago. I was 24, living on my own for the first time (I’d just broken up with an emotionally abusive b/f) and this guy shoved his way into my home and raped me. For many reasons (I was young, I was traumatized, I moved and didn’t go anywhere near that city for…

Been waiting on this one, Schreier—and you hit every last nail in this particular board square on the head.

IX came out my freshman year of undergrad, and I played enough of it that it sort’ve threatened my class performance for a while—which is normal enough, but for most of my buddies it was Madden or something…

There are hundreds of cards that started as WoW TCG cards and are still unchanged in the game. It’s a weird coincidence that all the TCG cards that were changed were the violent/sexy ones and all the others stayed the same. I agree they should just be forthright about the real reason.

A grown man attacks a 13 year old boy and cops are like “Well I don’t see a crime here.”

This kind of thing is 100% about power. They feel entitled to see any woman’s body that they want. There are plenty of women online who like to show off their bodies professionally or as a hobby, but these nerds are still always out here trying to hack people’s private photos, sneak pictures up skirts or fake nudes.

Cultural appropriation at its finest.

I’m a high school teacher in Toronto and the vaping is pretty out of control in my school. While I absolutely don’t condone testing students, we are struggling with how best to convey that vaping indoors is inappropriate and bad for their health. It’s worrying to me that smoking was becoming a non-issue in schools…

Lets just all remember that he is a child and likely doesn’t have the perspective to understand how awful this is. And instead blame the scores of adults who still made it happen.

Thank goodness. Sanders was so dull as press secretary - remember how much more unintentionally funny Spicer was by comparison? Sanders never hid behind a shrubbery to avoid the media.

Gotta give them respect for knowing when to end it. Way too many shows go on way too long. 

I really love this trend of shows with an intentional time span. Crazy Exgirlfriend also had a specific plan, and it really added to the show’s ability to have a functional narrative arc.

On the one hand, too bad. On the other hand, good. There’s only so many places the narrative of that show can go while remaining true to the concept without simply treading water. They did a really admirable job of continuing the world building after the season 1 reveal to the point where they’re entering season 4 and…

No, that’s not quite right.

But before the pain simulator they’d have to take ipecac a few times a day for a few months...and after, they’d be forced to poop out a cantaloupe that splits them stem to stern, and then given postpartum pain and depression, and then given lifelong hemorrhoids and pelvic pain issues...oh, and be forced either to…

Exactly what do these people pregnancy and childbirth is like? That it’s like having a pillow under your shirt for a few months, then the water breaks, you huff and puff a few times and you have a baby?

When you remember the fact that Robin Arryn was breastfed until he was like 8, there’s plenty of reason to understand why he wouldn’t be fit to rule the vale on his own even at age 20. Kid was overindulged and raised for many years pretty inappropriately. Mommy told him he was the most important person in the world…
