And io9 is actually better than most places on the internet, or at least it used to be (things were different back in the days when Charlie Jane was around). Was that particular article cross-posted to Kotaku, by any chance?

TGWSAGA?

Dude, the whole series is on Hulu. My kids watch it all the time.

From the Wikipedia entry for the phrase/curse “May you live in interesting times”:

Yup. Also applies to the word "libtard" - whenever it appears in any comment, I just skip the whole thing. It's kinda nice, in a way, that there are such easily identifiable markers that let me know Not To Bother.

I don’t get it, how does this crusted shitstain of an “actor” keep getting high-profile roles? Batman v Superman was literally the worst movie ever, and somehow Suicide Squad was even worse than that, and Jared Leto was the worst part about that.

You should tell him the one about the chicken crossing the road! Clearly he’s never heard a joke ever before in his life, I think that one will blow his mind.

I want to believe that the vast majority of people (males included) are decent, moral folk who wouldn’t choose to abuse someone even if they could get away with it with no consequences.

Perhaps you’re right - I hope I never have to find out just how I’d react. In the end, the wisest course is probably just to teach your kids martial arts well enough to defend themselves, then back off and let them live their own lives (and make their own mistakes).

You seem to be taking this personally. Why are you targeting C P-M?

Yup. Reading all the stories about harassment and abuse that have been especially highlighted in the last couple of years have been very troubling, imagining what could possibly happen to my girls someday. My reaction is usually so visceral that I fear I’d do something drastic, and end up in jail myself. I think that…

The biggest problem for me is the fact that I’m raising 3 young daughters, and having a Hell of a time threading this particular needle. I want them to grow up believing that people are generally good and decent and trustworthy, but... I also don’t want them to be so trusting that they put themselves in a bad…

IKR? Vaginas are fascinating! My girlfriend doesn’t do tampons, she uses the cup, which at first was a completely new thing for me. She was describing how it worked, and I wasn’t really fully understanding it. So (with her enthusiastic cooperation) I went, uh, exploring, until I figured out exactly how it is…

I understand where you’re coming from - I used to take people at face value most of the time as well. However, as time goes on, that attitude has come to seem more “naive” than “charitable”. It sucks that cynicism is becoming my default, but... look at the world we live in.

Or, in other words:

No one said that these people had to stop being friends with the accused, or even believe any of the accusers. What they got in trouble for was the outward, visible show of support for him by writing his number on their legs. That kind of an act can be misconstrued as the entire team showing their support for the guy,…

DuJour means seat belts! 

So true. I saw a story on the Fox News website earlier that said something like “Roseanne offends with a tweet” as opposed to “Roseanne releases offensive tweet” as every other news source was going with. The distinction is subtle, but noticeable.

Amp really was the shit, wasn’t it? I remember I recorded hours and hours and hours of it, and held onto those VHS tapes far longer than I should have, to the point where the sound quality had degraded so far as to be basically unlistenable.
