The other side of that coin is the fact that PC is essentially solitary confinement which has been proven to literally drive people insane. So on the one hand you’ve got general population and the beatings that go with that, and on the other you’ve got the slow degradation of the man’s sanity that comes with…

They have to try to put him in GP. If they don’t make every effort to get him there they can be sued for Cruel and Unusual Punishment. So, he keeps getting assaulted until they have tried all GP’s so they can to show a meaningful effort and he gets thumped in each one. Justice prevails!

I cannot possibly imagine there being a safe general population for a child sex offender.

The expert quoted by the Detroit News says the Bureau of Prisons will first try to find him a safe general population, before resorting to a “Special Housing Unit.”

If they can’t put him in a prison with other similar offenders, he really has to be in PC. It’s the only way to keep him safe. I think putting him in a general population is only going to risk serious injury or death, and I’m sure there are some that will think it’s appropriate, but it’s not.

Doesn’t the federal prison system have units specifically for persons at high risk of injury in the general population? California does, at Corcoran. In addition to Charles Manson (until recently) and other celebrities, there’s a decent number of: guys who have renounced their gang affiliations; former law enforcement…

“We gotta make sure we filter this smut out. What’s that? Oh, the clone games that are just bad ports of really bad phone games? Yeah, those can stay. Those are good earners for us.”

I didn’t work for free. I got paid well over minimum wage while putting myself through college. Added benefit, I took home cash every night whereas other suckers had to wait two weeks to go cash a check.

It is not by state, it is by restaurant. Some allow you to bring your own. A few never get a liquor license and almost require it.

For what it’s worth, my baseline tip is 25%. You have to really be asshole to get less, and it's easy to get more. 

This is what a server’s paycheck looks like (I kept it from way back in the day to remind myself). Notice that pay rate of $2.13 an hour and the net pay of $0.00? When servers say they live on tips, they mean it.

BYOB must be regional, as I’ve never heard of a place allowing it.

At a different games publisher nearly a decade back, my spouse had an absurd encounter that (I think) ultimately lost her her job and really opened my eyes.

Not remotely suprising. A quick look at the female characters in LoL itself tells you tons about their mindset toward women.

Since it invariably is going to come up, I don’t understand how people can scream “this is a witchhunt” or “people are too sensitive” or “this is SJW nonsense” when time and again big gaming/tech companies have proven to be navel gazing, bro-clubs who alienate anyone who isn’t a straight white male.

It’s not…

Thank you for this very thorough and detailed reporting. This seems the result of several different toxic cultures (Business, Gamer, Start-Up, etc.) all intersecting and building on one another. Very disappointing...

hear, hear!! it took so. long. for me to be ok with needing extra lube: like, all the way through high school/most of college I couldn't understand why sex got so painful after the first few minutes. Dudes didn't know what to do with me unless we were having sex in the shower, and all I could think was "ladies in…

Kegels are good exercise, but studies are showing that you need more than that to maintain good pelvic floor health. Having a strong core and glutes and quads helps a lot too. Everything below the waist works together. After I had my third baby my pelvis pretty much fell apart. Adding squats to my kegel-ing built…

Probably one of the greatest disservices of porn - especially porn involving extreme activities such as fisting and use of large dildos/objects, both anally and vaginally - is that it's basically a highlights reel. All of the time, effort and lubrication it takes to get the vagina/anus to the point where it can accept…
