So, two points.

*yawn*

Let me know when he kills the lake monster with a door.

You are free to shop anywhere you want. But grocery stores are not required to carry products that you want to buy, and companies are free to sign exclusive deals to sell products only in certain stores.

I felt like the tiny racecar level was the definite high point -- the one brilliant bit of level design that the rest of the game could have used a lot more of. 

It’s a shame how many people flaunt idiocy as if it’s a good thing. Shame on you.

Of course you can.

I throw my cat across the room on a regular basis. He lands on the couch or the bed and runs back to me for another toss. 

No it isn’t, and it never has been. Being a centrist does not mean a person has no articulated moral philosophy beyond “LET’S JUST DO THE MIDDLE THING!”

All of which exist in distinct tension with what is perceived of as “heteronormative.”

That’s a hell of a quote. I find the line you bolder about blocking the development of a nonnormative public sexual culture interesting, and I wonder what they think that would look like.

If the piece on MP required this much unpacking to understand, that unpacking should have been baked into it in the first place. What I read was an utterly unjustified attack with nothing to back up its arguments but vitriol. It wasn’t thought-provoking. It didn’t critique his policies or ideas from any kind of…

He wasn’t referencing the recent Alabama case. This happened in Indiana.

It’s not just loneliness. It’s believing that you have the right to join anything.

I read a study once that claimed the reason human beings have children when they do is because the metabolic needs of the child can no longer be met by the mother reliably past about the 9 month mark. I do not recall the study (and obviously there are many reasons why human children are born at the 9 mo. interval),…
