Weirder than that, she will now FOREVER be “Becky with the Bad Grades."

Hell, I cracked the tenth percentile in my graduating class - not because I was motivated or any good at school, but because I was decently smart and good at tests and essays. There were 36 of us, and only a handful who had collegiate aspirations at all. Eight years later, I’m a proud dropout of no fewer than five…

I dropped out of five different colleges. I’m hedging my bets on some future honorary doctorate.

Okay, that is a stupid and dangerous interpretation of actual chemistry. Methamphetamine’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it instantly addictive in a way that the doses of amphetamines prescribed to help ADHD people simply isn’t. Yes, amphetamines can have a negative long term affect, if you take WAY…

It would be super crazy if it were true. It’s not, though. The difference between methamphetamine and amphetamine molecules is a matter of atoms, but they’re definitely not the same thing. Those few atoms make a huge difference.

So, that’s not right. At all. As someone who not only has an adderall prescription but also a chemistry background, I can tell you exactly what the difference is. (So could a basic Google search, by the by.) Adderall contains amphetamines, which lack the methyl group (a carbon atoms and three hydrogen atoms) that…

I can remember instances where the line of logic was even flimsier, though. A private individual’s alleged sex life, for instance, or a woman disagreeing with them. Death threats seem to have become their only method of communication.

Yep. It could promise to physically transport me to actual other worlds and I wouldn’t shell out $60. They just haven’t proved they can deliver yet, and from what I keep seeing, it’s looking more and more likely that it won’t.

Yes, how dare people act entitled to getting a game they paid for delivered on time! It’s like ordering a pizza and being mad when it comes the next day! Unthinkable.

My aunt and uncle each kept their names, and split the kids down the middle. One cousin has his surname, one has hers. Of course, this is only an equitable arrangement if you have an even number of offspring, but as someone who has four siblings with four different surnames, I can tell you that it will have minimal…

You are doing a disservice to comic books. I don’t think I’ve ever read a comic with this little coherence or story, and even the worst comic book would never commit the heinous sin of taking itself seriously.

As a gay Muscogee woman (albiet one who looks white enough to benefit like crazy from white privilege), I feel qualified to say that oppression isn’t a competition or a zero-sum game. We all have it bad. Let’s work together to make it better for everyone.

Frankly, that’s a fucking stupid comparison and if you really think sex is at all equivalent a child nagging their parents for sweets, I really worry about the women in your life.

She said no. She never said yes. He had sex with her anyway. That’s some basic no-means-no shit right there. Your bullshit slippery slope argument of “what’s rape next, looking at boobs?!” is frankly fucking nonsensical. Yeah, the situation is more nuanced than what society teaches us to think of as rape. But that’s…

Before I knew I was a lesbian (and asexual-ish, probably), I dated a guy for a while. I had sex with him. I didn’t really want to. I thought I was supposed to. I thought I’d learn to enjoy it. I didn’t. But my ex-boyfriend did something that I’m still very grateful for, something I’m very proud of him for doing - he…

...You mean her own actual speaking voice? She wasn’t “using” an accent. That’s how she talks.

The Force Awakens isn’t out yet, so I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch (we’ve been burned before), but I would have thought that one look at his casting decisions and the press so far and understand his intentions behind the comment. He’s clearly made women an important part of his Star Wars. People…

I once went to a Gamestop wearing a Marvel shirt, and one of the employees (your standard, off-the-rack white boy geek) physically blocked the entrance until I told him who my favorite Marvel character was. I tried to laugh it off and brush past him, but he grabbed the door frame to keep me from going in. So I told…

So what you’re doing here? It’s called tone policing, and it’s a really transparent derailing tactic. GrapeParfait has every right to react however they please, and their reaction does not have to be constructive or educational to be valid. “People would listen if you were less rude/angry/loud” is a really convenient…

Man, if you get this tight-arsed over a mere suggestion that a character might be gay, I’d hate to see your reaction to straight characters’ stories. They’re always going on about their sexuality - in some cases the entire story revolves around their hetero partner. Now that’s lazy writing.
