Complete opposite for me. That Deep Roads “slog” still stirs fond memories of glorious battle. During that crawl was when I started playing with different combat styles, discovered that you could combine glyphs for super awesome effects once you got Wynne leveled up enough, and finally started using stealth and…

are you one of those people who advocates the death penalty for all offenses? do you think that all wars must be solved by means of nuclear weapons? do you think you’re good and your enemy is evil, like the neocons?

i don’t know, guy.

Didn’t want to call it out but I had the suspicion you never were a part of a male group of friends. It wouldn’t be a fight. He’d grab your ass, you’d punch him in the stomach and it’s over. Everybody laughs, on with our day.

Every guy in a group gets messed with in different ways. If your line gets crossed you have to stand up for yourself but the way you stand up for yourself matters. She could have punched Tom in the gut and everyone would have laughed at Tom. A universal condition of being part of the group is not hitting another guy…

In the Tom situation: you to hitting him in the balls wasn’t acceptable because you were considered 1 of the guys. Guys don’t do that to each other. You would have been fine to punch him in the gut or slap his ass or mess with him in some other way as long as it didn’t involve hitting another guy in the junk.

“Its not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but fuck you for not knowing?”

Totally how I read it too.

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…

let’s call it on purpose, here’s the synopsis:

Then the intellectually honest criticism of Brooks’ post would be to point to the litany of justifiable reasons people have for disliking her in addition to the irrational one of misogyny. Those would be (buckle up):

So if she’s disliked simply because she’s a woman, then how can you have any honest discussion about the numerous reasons she shouldn’t be President? At the end of the day, you can dismiss all arguments as “Well of course they’d say that, she’s a woman”. It can’t possibly be because of her handling of this email…

I was literally thinking the same exact thing and almost wrote that.

at the risk of sounding horrible, that right there might be the only reason religion is worth anything: perspective

Didn’t realize that my current shit worth is zero or in the negative, and that canned haggis, global thermonuclear war, and daylight saving time are all better ideas than “Ask a Lawyer.” Thanks for this moment of self-realization. Going up to the cabin for few weeks to fix this for you.

I HAVE DONE NOTHING IN MY LIFE TO BE WORTHY OF THIS VIDEO

I’ll just leave this here:

Haha, i can relate to that feeling. Though in truth, i can understand that spending $400 on a new piece of hardware is a large investment, impossible even, for some people. And the game sold just under a million copies on old consoles so it was certainly worth it for EA i think. But yeah, like you say, it’s a shame to…
