Thanks for the article Nathan, it helped me better understand that a kotaku is best defined as one of the negative influences on reactivity in an RBMK reactor.

Yep. It’s a hit piece just to be a hit piece. The Gates Foundation has been investing a _lot_ of money into things that have the potential to improve quality of life for a lot of people. Drinking water, electric power, all sorts of things.

I don’t listen to her, either, but it doesn’t bother me for other people to like her music. It’s funny when people feel the need to make sure everyone knows they don’t like something. It’s like, ok, who cares? It’s even more funny when it’s not enough for someone to say that they don’t like something - they need to…

20 AAA. There actually is no telling the amount in the 45,000 as they encompass all, not just AAA. Not saying we don’t need more diversity, just that you are comparing incompatible stats.

I know (otherwise) smart people (all men, natch) who won’t shut up about how “revolutionary” and smart and well-rounded he is and it makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. As an aside, I find it fascinating that women are stereotypically seen as the gender that blindly follows celebrities and TV self-help…

Yeah this is kind of my takeaway too - even the excerpt used in this article is super weird. It seems like the author was trying to bait her into giving quotes about political issues she didn’t really want to comment on and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I get that it’s your job as a journalist to get juicy quotes…

KINDA makes me suspect that being a proud, large person with your belly hanging out while your silk shirt flutters in the breeze is more the province of “Those entitled to oral sex”, rather than their female counterparts. Just a hunch...

For real. Especially if you think whatever you reply is gonna be shared all over insta. 

Ohh, where is the Jen Zee artbook for all those discarded drawings, for a friend.

For as much as Courtney was a punchline back in the day, I always felt kind of bad watching them try so hard to perform “ultra sexy femme” that it was a caricature. For one so young, it was clear that there had been coaching and grooming involved: they were marketed.

I hope they are finding agency and power in their…

Jezebel posts increasingly feel like they’re just long form replies to a group chat full of inside jokes amongst the writers.  It’s dumb and tiresome and I wish I didn’t have to come here to read the comments I enjoy so much :/

I don’t think the “finally” parenthetical is very fair to Biden, who hasn’t been in office 100 days and kind of had some other stuff on the front burner. I’m frankly pleasantly surprised he’s testing the waters so quickly.

I understand that it looks bad on the front end, but it seems to be trying SOME middle ground between “everything is allowed and the Devil take the hindmost” and “Don’t worry, we’ll just decide what’s best for you.” I think either of those extremes would be easier to sugarcoat and “sell,” but they’re both less…

To me, it’s not about that. It’s about the kind of platform that Twitch is wanting to be. If it wants to embrace content who’s sole purpose is titillating audiences, then it should just come out and do so. They could create a section for it and create guidelines to distinguish themselves from ONLYFans and be done with…

I wish people would be honest about this discussion. It isn’t about morality, it’s about money. There is a lot of money to be made with streaming and those fueling the fire in arguments like this are the ones not getting the money. Our (U.S. at least) society has traditionally used morality as the framework for these…

No, that’s what it started as.  It hasn’t been explicitly about gaming for at least 2 or 3 years.  Shit changes.

One of the few body parts I own that’s never given me grief is my eyebrows. They are naturally shapely and the two times in my life I had them waxed it took three minutes, to remove about six hairs. They are the Golden Mean of eyebrows.

I feel sorry for that clerk. I hope that he’s been able to get some help with what has happened. 

The best part is they are literally missing the whole point of the video:
