Navigating popular culture with the lens of critical race and gender theory is... painful. Makes me want to destroy maybe a 1/4 of my music collection, most of my movies, and a large chunk of books need to be rewritten... but all change is painful, and at least it’s change for the better for me, so I can’t complain.…

I’m really glad about this: I’d been uninterested in watching his videos because I’d heard about his problematic material in the past, but I’m glad to see he’s grown up to address it publicly. I may actually start watching him now.
I think DZ will be really fun for me to play, once they get all the bugs out and balance the game properly so I’ll still play. Thank you for explaining how it works from the other side. I’ll just have to remember to keep my multiplayer to invite only for now.
Well, I support guaranteed livable income for all, even if it means willfully ignorant people like Nance can sit at home and announce his ignorance to the world.
Best part is you will no longer have to worry that he will be forced to face the consequences of his actions, so I see it as a win-win. :)
Mike Fahey works for Kotaku: GamerGate has been trying to do that for months to him and everyone else who works there, so I suspect he has a better idea of exactly how ‘dicey’ it is than the average gamer.
The difference is that Mike Fahey didn’t do what this guy did: when a fan who was brave enough to reveal their…
I tend to recognize GTs that I blocked and reported, because I took screen caps with the Avermedia LGP, which are saved on my computer’s Pictures folder, which is also where my screensaver shows random pictures from. So every time I walk away from the computer, I come back to my desk to get an eyeful of racist,…
Heh, have you noticed that when you hover over ‘Friends’ on your map, it shows you people playing the game who you blocked 2 years ago?
I reported this during the beta, but still not fixed, and the major reason why I refuse to go into the DZ until they fix it. The last thing I want is to lose all my loot to some asshat…
What’s sad is that my 2008-era 360 Fat is still running with zero maintenance, while my 360 Slim (Halo: Reach edition) is about to go back for repairs... again. :P
Now if only I could get an ac wifi adapter for the 360 Fat, and a bigger HDD...
Yeah, I try not to watch Daily Show with Trevor Noah since I learned he’s a really shitty person. I mean, I stopped watching when I found out Jon Stewart was pretty shitty too, but it’s scheduled in Toronto on a channel that my parents watch regularly, right after a show my sister and my mom both watch. I have to…
Reading this was worth it just for that one perfect line: “casualties of Pinterest’s aesthetic teleology”. I mean, I agree with it all, but I love that line, because as a former Pinterest addict, I know it to be true.
Is it different from ‘abuse of process’, I wonder?
Yeah, that’s definitely a problem, and not just for BPD. I have a few friends with moderate to severe clinical depression and social anxiety, and there’s little I can do for them. I don’t live in the same city, as if I did I could at least go with them, take them to see a doctor and advocate on their behalf. But…
I don’t disagree. That being said, the neurochemical imbalance of the original disorder is its own nightmare, so between a rock and a hard place, it’s hard to tell if the treatment is worse than the disorder.
Whaaaat?! I didn’t know she did a song with MC Lyte?! That’s awesome. :) Thanks for this.
Yeah, that does sound like a problem. I follower her on FB as well but I only saw her post where she was going on about her ex-husband and his wife, and their children, and it was all kind of difficult to understand.
Alas, people with mental health issues often don’t realize they need help. I’m not usually one for…
Your post needs to be ‘stickied’ if that possible on Kinja. Thank you and kudos. :)
There is a certain amount of stigma, and unfortunately I have seen psychiatric practices which specify that they will not treat people with BPD. Although they don’t say why they won’t accept patients with BPD, it’s difficult not to read a negative impression into that (particularly if someone has BPD).
And yeah, I know…
Do you think it is this?
I don’t think it necessarily has to be a deliberate _abuse_(misuse?) of prescription drugs per se: it could well be that Sinead O’Connor is trying anything and everything to stay afloat because she’s developed a tolerance to her medication regime, or the medications weren’t a good fit for her.
Either way though, I…
