My daughter's almost 14 now. We played the "no barbies" game for years when she was young, but eventually we stopped being so ideological about her toys (especially considering that overall she had tons of other playthings and interests). We ended the ban.

Really? It is never blind and dumb to want peace. Are Michael Brown's parents dumb and blind too?

Such as GWAR

Anyone who advocates confrontation is not street smart. When I was a kid, I wasn't catcalled in my neighborhood, but I did get a lot of "hey white boy!" and "got any money white boy?" I learned to keep walking and keep my mouth shut. 19 times out of 20, they'd eventually get bored, and feel they've wandered too…

MS has been doing an excellent job this past year making it harder to decisively choose between them. After 13 months, they still have what many (myself included) consider to be the better library.

I usually recommend getting a cheap tower PC (like a gateway) for like $300, then get the best under-$150 GPU, and maybe a $30 RAM boost. Then you're not building everything, nor dealing with Windows licenses/software.

One of the things XB1 was quite smart about was an outstanding scaler - so even when they "only" do 900P - the scaler outputs it with a sharpening algorithm that includes s hint of edge correction, and other fancy bits, to make is look crisp.

I love doggie-quirks!

What about like flies and ants and such?

That's extra tricky, especially if the guy is drunk. I'm long past being in this situation (but next time I'm at a 7pm dinner party with 3 middle-aged couples I'll keep my eyes peeled), so it's easy for me to fantasize about what I might do.

How is it condescending? This women's agency (already limited by severe intoxication and isolation from her friends) was overridden by a predatory ass. The video is not about women who don't need help, but recognizing those that do, and not being passive about it.

I don't think so, just by getting off the couch he's choosing to not ignore it. That's the message - get off the couch. It's not narratively satisfying I admit.

If a woman can see herself in this women: falling-down-drunk in the middle of the day in Hollywood, and seeking help from only the sketchiest dudes she can find, well, it might be a wake-up call.

you're right - if you slept on your back, your pelvis would touch the ceiling.

That people on the fringes of society flaunt social mores at a greater rate than those fully integrated is hardly an earth-shaking concept. And going from integrated to fringe is not just a matter of a bad day, or a pink slip. Certainly, integrated men are capable of such crass, opportunistic behavior, but at much…

It doesn't explain why the developers tried to shove so many polygons/effects into boxes that couldn't handle it.

Reminds me of an old joke.

"alcohol just inhibits the part of you that checks whether you're going to be a dick in front of someone who thinks you're not."

Actually, if you notice I referred to them as "not-too-terrible people", not actual decent people. Although I have one friend who is practically a saint: loyal, kind, empathetic, but when used to drink, he'd become quick-tempered loon. There was a 20% chance that any night out with him would end up in a…

Almost, except no one will seem themselves in these dudes. They all looked like they've slipped through the cracks of proper society. Do a similar video, except at a typical college party, or bar. Drunkenness has a way of turning otherwise-not-too-terrible people in scuzzballs.
