It seems like it’s the same type of people who ask why there isn’t a straight pride parade.

The most simple way to put it is boys already have “Boys Make Games.” There are plenty of organizations out there to teach coding to everyone. The issues comes from the fact that these are typically geared towards boys and can be quite hostile to girls. In my programming classes we never had more than 3 women. We…

Yep, and hopefully programs like Girls Make Games can help solve that problem in the long run!

You do a very good job of laying out the basics of the situation. For perspective on the matter, the studio I work for is currently accepting applications for programmers. Of the applications I have dealt with none have been women.
The industry is not even reaching the moment at which we could choose our hires based…

There are plenty of game jams and workshops for you. This one is not for you. I can’t imagine that will really affect your life all that much, but if it does, consider it a trade-off for all the other inherent advantages you’ll have in the video game industry. Not having to worry all that much about being sexually…

I can’t star this enough

I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite your use of an awful buzzword like “identity politics,” so consider this: Lots of girls are taught that video games and game development are for men. Girls Make Games is an institution designed to teach girls that hey, they can play and make video games too, which…

I wanted to slam my head against the wall the last time I tried to explain this to a trump supporter.

It’s highly skilled, poorly paid labor, I’m guessing. But also grueling and often dangerous work. Same with meat processing and other basic jobs. Now I wonder if anybody has done any research on the development of factory farming and factory meat processing, the decline in pay, the rise in cost of living, and the rise…

Uh, immigration reinforcement is not even the job of local police. Wow, this person should not be working with the public, ever.

Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.

I have the same issue there as well. It being a sport isn’t an excuse for fighting. I only addressed NASCAR here, because this is an article about NASCAR.

Yes. I’ve noticed all those hockey and baseball players in jail for fighting. Good point.

Someone I work with had a house with a yard that made a great shortcut for people. He kept telling people to not go though his property, put up signs, they kept ignoring him, so he put up heavy landscaping rocks they couldn’t get past. When they messed up their vehicle, they tried to get him to pay for it and got a…

Bet you there’s more than one lawyer who has/had tried to convince the driver that they can sue the homeowners for placing the rocks there. After all if the rocks weren’t there he would have crashed into their house which would have likely been less injurious to him. They have created a hazard.

Dumbest gimmick?

Actually, you used to be able to buy mufflers with spark plugs in them, for that specific purpose.

I wish catalytic converters worked the way the author described. Every car would have an afterburner, there would be flames everywhere on the road. It would be awesome.

200 years from now, it might look something like this:
