THAT IS THE BEST PART.

I laughed so hard when I read Love and Freindship. I'm still not over the running mad/fainting scene.

You guys—you need to get your hands on Austen's short story "Love and Freindship" (that's not a typo—that's really how she spelled it). She wrote it when she was like 14 and it is hysterical. It is SO melodramatic and ridiculous. It's glorious.

Lots of folks have already given you great advice. I would just like to add that, not only was the guy discriminating against your husband on the basis of disability and arguably veteran status, but he is someone in charge of physical training for children who does not care to make adjustments to his plans when a…

Google reviews: Negative reviews WILL harm a business in its wallet, the only place assholes care about. Be sure to sprinkle some positive reviews at restaurants and places you like so Google doesn't scrub your review.

I would like to declare my hipster pride. I am sick of being the butt of every joke (3 years ago). Yes, I live my life on a fairly ironic basis. Yes, I work in college radio. Yes, I have a 1913 phonograph in my apartment. Yes, I wear big glasses and have pin-up hair. Yes, I would wear most of the outfits linked.

I think she can still say, I can't involve myself while you're with him because my child needs to come first. But when you're ready to extricate yourself from this situation, then I'll be here. Knowing you have people who'll support you getting out of the crazy is so much better than thinking you have to go it alone…

It's the NSA watcher pixel. Now keep reading and just move along quietly.

Dazed and Confused?

Instead of "post- racist America", it's more of a "racist- post America".

The more the media makes decisions like that proposed coupling, the less of an "Ugh, WHAT?!!" reaction they'll get from audiences. Remember when Will & Grace was first on - long before LGBTQ rights were the force of nature that they are now - and it changed people's perceptions of an entire section of the human…

I gave this advice to my friend who was in a similar situation -

Can we have a quick convo about how everyone has swept the repeal of section 5 of the VRA under the rug? Like NC is putting back poll taxes as we speak and no one cares. THEY ARE TAKING MY RIGHTS AWAY. Ugh. Whatever I'm old enough and black enough to know that unless it directly affects white people no one cares.…

How these girls turn out:

Thank you about five million times for this, but I'd also add: A lot of the reason Jezebel feels so "hostile" to so many men is that it's the first time they've ever found themselves on a site primarily occupied by women/feminists, and it's a deeply bizarre and unpleasant experience for them, because things don't work…

Thank you for this. I'm a woman who has been gaming for over 20 years, and I have never felt truly welcome in Kotaku's comment threads. I'm looking forward to a bit of a change.

The opinion that racism, sexism, and homophobia are non-problems that everyone should shut up about is one most heavily held by straight white males, because they don't face that discrimination, and for whatever reason that makes them completely unable to believe that any one else does, either.

I'm not remotely angry. I'm calmly and rationally explaining the problem with your view.

Straight white men have lots of problems, just like everyone has lots of problems. They don't have any problems due to misogyny, racism, or homophobia, however, which people who aren't straight white men do have, in addition to all the the problems straight white men have.

It's ridiculously easy to have that opinion when you're a straight white male, because people don't get derided for being straight, white, or male. What you're saying, in essence, is "No one discriminates against me, therefore all the people who are discriminated against should shut the fuck up because it doesn't…
