I know the bidet is having is moment right now in Western culture, but I can't fathom the idea of bringing a kit with me to a public or work place restroom.  Everybody knows you're pooping going on there when you being the portable water gun.

We’ve been hearing for years that “opening up consumerism and chinese markets will naturally spread democratic ideals” as some neoliberal horseshit.  What turns out happening is if you have a centralized, authoritarian government that is sufficiently powerful, they won’t let you do business with their people unless…

This is a Guy-pocalypse

This reeks of the same kind of shit girls get put through with school dress codes. Constantly policing women and girls bodies for being ‘sexual’ yet nothing about men and boys, you know, not being terrible.

dude they fuckin sold out to Taboola. Kinja used to have it’s own ad network (or at least, a half decent one) when it was still run by Gawker, but slowly as the transformation with Univision and Fusion and now G/O under current ownership, more insidious shit like Taboola, which has long known to be a shitstorm of an…

Capitalism and Fascism and even communism can definitely be friends if they so choose.

I know I should have played this a while ago, but playing the original Witcher really spoiled it for me (I found it hard to play, just too clunky). I actually have this for PC, and found it again hard to play (switching to an Xbox controller helped some). The Witcher is a game and series I want to get into (especially…

I was wondering why I kept seeing that get reposted across the network.  Now I get it.

Well I did say it doesn't always work. Theoretically, you're playing a very good team in the super bowl so it will be harder to exert that influence on them.  It's usually about key positioning though.  

I mean, I think he is. I've seen and heard multiple interviews from former players taking about how he game plans things in the first half that bait opponents into committing mistakes later in the game.  Obviously it doesn't always work.  I wish I had an example off hand.

I mean, I’m pretty sure if you take alcohol enemas now, you get very drunk very quickly, because it basically bypasses that whole pesky digestive track and liver system.  

Who hurt you?

I mean, on the HK side of things, it’s slightly more complicated than that. Something often overlooked in western media is the ethnic angle in this. The Chinese Communist Party is mostly made up of the largest ethnic group, Han people. HKers identify as mostly what English speakers call Cantonese (Cantonese is a…

You can’t predict baseball! 

Pretty much all actions are political. By choosing to play video games rather than protest, you inherently saying the concerns of those protesting are not important enough to you to do anything about them. If you are neutral (or apathetic really) in situations of injustice you have taken the side of the oppressor. …

It’s not really my place to be gatekeeping and say “this game is artistic and this one is not.” Like is Big Bang Theory art?  Are comic books actually books? Are MCU films actually 'cinema' or not?  Who the fuck knows or cares.

You can’t argue that video games are art and then turn around and say “keep your politics out of video games.” Art is inherently political (one way or another, it doesn’t matter, it makes a statement). Sports are also political, as Deadspin has articulated before.  eSports then, are doubly political.  And if you make…

The optimal butter knife is the offset butter knife.  It’s kind of like a trowel, but exclusively for spreading soft salty butter on your bread.  And it’s great!

At 6'4", I have to disagree that it’s the best. The world’s is almost designed for you but not quite. Public transit, airplanes, cars, theatre seats are all juuuust a bit too small. You’re right on the cusp of big and tall, so many brands don’t actually make your size. Clothes for this size are never on clearance. …

So there are Cumberlands and Irvings throughout Maine, NH, and Mass (probably other New England States too) so how is it they share the top spots in those states?  Also, most of those states have Dunks in their gas stations, and I have a hard time picturing any New Englander picking an Irving or Cumby’s brand coffee…
