The worst thing is (well not the worst thing, this whole debacle is horrific) her videos on gaming were remarkably free of judgement on the part of the gamers themselves, she highlighted issues and neither stated they existed everywhere uniformly or vilified those who enjoy games. She raised some interesting topics so…

That is so true. I honestly hadn't watched her videos until pretty recently (I don't really play video games, so I didn't really care) but I didn't see anything controversial there. It honestly just reminds me of the media criticism articles I had to read in college, albeit in a slightly more informal form. The only…

ALL of you are clearly not superhero material. One must begin with the good sense to understand what stupid things NOT to do. I was both Batman and Wonder Woman without incident or mishap for years. . Sheesh! No one had to tell me NOT to sniff glue when I was a kid, but I guess that is what comes with the…

I also live in California, and honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever want to eat at a national chain here. There is SO MUCH delcicous food it's unreal. Why subject oneself to shitty chain food?

Yeah, I would just freeze for way too long for something like this.

Kelly seems unaware that "Snow" would have happily pecked her eyeballs out for the tasty vitreous humor inside.

"It's depressing that people are all-too-often allowed to get away with that kind of bullshit."

On the other hand, I was raised in a denomination that says anything BUT vegetarianism is un-christian!

Seriously. My takeaway is that she's mad about halal or kosher food or something like that. It's amazing the amount of people who have fits over halal food. I'm not Muslim, but I think extra certifications on food is nice - I like to imagine the food will be safer if there are at least a few more people overseeing it,…

Great! Since this is all about saving lives and has nothing to do with controlling women and their wicked woman-bodies, I'm sure these folks will support my ballot measure.

Trolls will be coming out in force. IGNORE THEM. DO NOT FEED.

That's because "male parts" aren't a thing. Because males aren't made up of parts. Males are human beings with thoughts and feelings (well, maybe not feelings, because MANLY) and goals and dreams.

It's only been 17 years of marriage so maybe he'll figure out I've feminismed his brains but until he does I'm gonna enjoy the sex ;)

He looks like a classic narcissist. This is what life with a narcissist is like- same shit, just rearrange the details a little bit.

Brian Lederman: proudly putting the "douche" in fiduciary, one comically clichéd statement (and/or grabbed ass) at a time.

I took a vacation and went to France one year. Met an Aussie woman on the train who was shocked that I was trying to explore France with only 2 weeks. She made a disdainful remark about how Americans never spend much time anywhere and was again shocked when I explained to her that for most Americans WITH vacation, 2…

My brother in California likes to joke about it, too. You can take one vacation if you're lucky and that's it. I think the only people in the first world who are even crazier about work are the Japanese and South Koreans. They even drill infants like a platoon of Marines.

I just finished reading an excellent book called "Saracens" that examined perceptions in Medieval Europe of Islam, and it was amazing to me how little they knew (or allowed themselves to know) about Islam- this at a time in history when most of Spain was Muslim, and there were Christian kingdoms actually in the Middle…

"When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in…

I'm so excited for Poly with a Collie to be my favorite sitcom next year!
