It’s very likely he privately loves this kind of stuff. A woman dedicating so much of her time, effort and thought to what is to him a forgettable instance, one of thousands. “Look, she’s still obsessing over five minutes with me and I don’t even remember who she is.”

Video games and chess are competitions, but sports are specifically athletic competitions. I’m not sure why people keep wanting to classify them as sports, other than to shoehorn them into pre-existing frameworks built for sports like the examples you mention (visas, olympics).

Naturally, but it is the only glimpse of testimony so far and it’s geared towards laying out reasons it wasn’t a fair process. I’m not willing to die on this hill but I would like to see universities handle these cases in a more transparent and consistent manner with both people allowed some type of representation or…

I agree, the article I linked is biased the other way, which is why I read the lawsuit and focused on the testimony referenced and not the author’s opinion or the lawyer’s statements.

Dude deserves it, but I’m not a big fan of “seal everything and prohibit any means of defense”.

I’d much rather listen to Brian Cox any day

Or, and maybe I’m going out on a limb here, being visibly pregnant doesn’t preclude being attractive or desirable.

She’s an eye candy character with a cool whip-sword in a video game. No more, no less.  It’s ok to like or to dislike.  No need for reclaiming, recontextualizing, or demanding anything.

Both government banning head ornamentation and religion enforcing it is really dumb.

You don’t, because it’s a dumb construction. Latin, Latin American, Hispanic or god forbid actually reference a country or region of origin since it is so overbroad a term as to be useless.

Counterpoint: Cheating in offline single-player games is immensely fun! As a working dad I often don’t have time anymore to grind or unlock things, and sometimes I just want to blast through to see all the content. Some games I will buy only if there are trainers available. But I do miss those halcyon days where I was…

Finally, a context appropriate for a Lords of Acid post

Because people see one side that says fuck you, what you do is never enough and you’re always evil. They see that the other side, which is actually evil, is welcoming and forgiving.

This is terrible. There were indeed some problems with the old process in which the accused had little ability to rebut accusations, defend themselves, offer evidence or even avail themselves of any type of representation in the proceedings. But this is a big fuck you to anyone trying to get justice and effectively shu…

Close down the roads around them to box them in and confiscate/crush every car involved. Jail for a year and lose your license for three. A few major operations and you’ll get the repeat offenders as well as discourage anyone else.

I lost it at “Well cardboard’s out”

On one side there’s 212; on the other, everything else she’s ever said or done.

you can’t be racist if you’re not the dominant minority group.

Yes, we know. There have been hundreds of essays, blogs, and doctoral theses on why it’s morally justified for our group to make shitty racist statements.
