Hey guys at Kotaku, I don't come around much, so please do forgive me if the subject to this post is simply so universally known that it doesn't have to be explained, but I'm pretty sure it's considered bad journalism (or just bad writing) to write something about a subject, but never actually say what that subject is…

As someone who complained about this post popping up (or was it another one? I'm not sure) back in December 2013, I'm well aware... but you know that when you comment here, it pops up on the sidebar as something recommended by Annalee Newitz, perhaps continuing the cycle of this being confused for current. I don't…

The Hungry Boys' Casserole makes me think of what shepherd's pie might be in some weird, alternate universe.

Rob Heubel is fantastic (that is: Rob Heubel, the actor who plays Dr. Own Maestro, not the actor who plays Rob Heubel playing Dr. Owen Maestro... though he's also pretty great). I also enjoy the works of Just Falcon.

So I think I'm still young enough to consider myself a young male and... I don't know who Erin Andrews is. I mean, I've heard the name, just like I've heard Brooke Burke's name (though I think I watched Wild On as a pre-teen), but neither of those people would get me to watch the show.

There's a pretty big difference between them deciding not to pursue trademarking the word, and them getting brutally smacked down for having the audacity to even try to trademark a very common and generic word.

According to Arizona law, the sex wasn't consensual... according the laws of other states and countries it would have been. Is there something with Arizona people that makes them less able to consent? That's the problem with age of consent laws (and really all age-based limitations): there's a lot of grey and very…

Why is this article, posted 12/20/10 (honestly io9, what kind of future do you come from where you still use the very-difficult-to-decode-without-context mm/dd/yy style of writing dates), the fourth top story on io9's front page at 3am (EST) 26 December 2013?

Do LED manufacturers in your location not sell warm-white (yellow-ish) and cold-white (blue-ish) lights separately and clearly labelled?!

So this whole "article" is basically just a multi-paragraph excuse to shit on this guy, right?

Toronto-Dominion, not Toronto Deposit... not sure where that came from.

Junk, heads [except that is in there, whoops], anything on a lady.

I can't help but think there are one or two or three—but mainly one—area this post did not touch on...

While you did briefly touch on it, the biggest thing for me to prevent hangovers, aside from always having water on me (except at the bar, because outside water ain't allowed!), is to eat a big, delicious, meal (with lots of nice salt and grease) right before going to sleep. Ideally a big plate of poutine, I eat that…

Meh. This is pretty completely unimportant. Did Gates mean to cause offense? No. Therefore any offense you choose to see in this is your own and reflects on you, not him. Until you can find evidence that he intentionally did, there's nothing to look at here.

I agree with your points, but it was a bit wordy, so here's my advice:

That... is what I meant, that the barely legal girls are actually older, but they advertise them as being barely legal because... that's what they do.

I would just point out that a significant number of pornstars list themselves as being 18 or 19... despite having been in the business for far more years than could make that legal. I don't know if that makes it "mainstream" or not, but it certainly is significant, and probably is mainstream, even if it isn't the…

With 64 replies already, I'm sure many have already pointed this out, but in case they haven't: there's something a little discriminatory about calling 19 year olds children and not adults. It may seem gross and wrong to you, but there's a reason we have things like ages of majority and consent: to define adults. …

Aww, that went from all cute and starstruck to all terrible and unnecessarily mean. Now I'm sad. And dammit, I'm probably the only one here who actually remembered him in Unhappily Ever After! Anywho, she is cute, but even if I recognize that it's a little bit of bad form (or, at least, weird form) to send her a…
