I quit reading comics years ago because of this issue, actually. It got harder and harder for young-me to imagine myself as a superhero when all of the women were just walking tits in spandex.

I swear this was a real thing that happened! But I can’t remember which punctuation symbol it was. Period, or comma? And there’s no easy way to search for that :-/.

Hey, I don't judge ;)

I’m two and a half years late to this discussion! I’m watching some awful, trashy TV that I don’t really have to pay attention to. Migraines mean I have spare time.

Honestly, to be fair, there are a LOT of interactions these days that want more information than they warrant.

You can if you make the effort to look for it. I confess to peaking while my date fills in the credit slip and signs it.

I have an unquenchable hunger for pickles as well. Pickled beets, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, asparagus (yes!), green beans... I'm very lucky that the local farmers' market has not one, but three separate places that sell home-made pickled items.

Does anyone remember the old Diablo 2 wars between North America and Korea? If I remember it rightly, Koreans would play on NA servers, which would cause games to lag. To kick them off, people would spam commas and periods in the chat in-game. Somehow (I guess something to do with the translation over to double-byte…

I have stopped supporting Ubisoft entirely. After the debacle of “it’s just too HARD to animate a woman, you have to spend at least $90mm on the right boob alone”, they can keep their shit to themselves. Their horrifyingly bad DRM system and its propensity to going offline and erroneously blocking legally-purchased…

I don’t usually weigh in on game preferences, because you like what you like, but... you really should give this one another try. Dishonored is one of the few games that had me coming back for a second playthrough. It is honestly as fun to play as a stealthy ninja as it is to play as a murderous whirlwind.

I like the concept of a game - it’s interesting. But the “graphics” are so awful they were obviously made so on purpose.

You’re going to get slaughtered for this comment, but I just wanted to let you know that some people agree with you. Like me.

The worst part is that they don’t always check to see which part of the password violations you’ve hit.

Rainbow tables will do this a heck of a lot faster. This is misleading.

When I graduated college and got my first job, I had to purchase a car for the first time. I had no idea what I was doing, but being a logically-minded engineer, it seemed reasonable to me to look up the price online, read reviews, and pay the median-ish amount that people reported.

I get that reference!

Oh goodness no please not a kid-friendly movie. Animatronics are scary as crap and they always have been and finally someone is highlighting that fact.

That’s... just not true. The locked-room drama / mystery is a classic. Just because Hollywood has a hard time treating it well doesn’t mean it’s bad.

You KEEP SHOWING UP.

The N.K. Jameson essay that you link to is... well, there's this line:
