Pam and Jim killed tens of thousands of peoples’ chance of finding a partner with realistic expectations

Pam and Jim killed tens of thousands of peoples’ chance of finding a partner with realistic expectations

It could be worse.

For what it’s worth, my actual human babies whom I birthed out of my body and love very much also came with a heavy side of existential dread.

That.  Is.  Perfect.

Why are you such an idiot

Hey bud, just an FYI, not all soldiers are “paid to kill people,” there are many different jobs within the armed forces.

If you genuinely believe that every soldier is infantry (and yeah, that’s the most basic component of their training, but still)—or even that every infantry soldier has killed another person in the course of their duty—then I don’t know what to tell you.

There’s an axiom about military life that is absolutely true: for

Yo what’s it like to think # of stars given is an actual indicator on whether you’re right or not? Does Lil Baby WreckItRyan have Kinja gold stars plasted on their nursery bedroom wall?

As is typical, I enjoy your contributions.  I don’t know why I didn’t expect the backlash, but I didn’t and I’m so disappointed that there are legitimately people who will be so confrontational over such a obvious get.  It boggles my mind that people take such ferocious issue with inclusion.  Weird, weird, weird.

I’m going to wait here while you explain the irony to me.

I’ll get the popcorn, because you’ll literally be explaining a core component of my academic field to me.

I’m specifically asking that the service rendered by my wife and other women be acknowledged with a simple alteration of phrasing. That’s it. Where do you

My wife has, on many occasions, expressed frustration and even disgust with the constant minimization and erasure of the contributions of women to the US military—and to global military history writ large.

Signal-boosting that with a fairly mild, “Hey, would you consider rephrasing this thing that only mentions ‘men’”

Ignore the haters, dude. I deployed alongside a lass who dropped bodies with the best of us. Given Kotaku’s normal attitude towards things, that stuck out to me as well, and not in a good way. War isn’t just a man’s game. Never has been, really. 

Dude, are you okay? You seem excessively triggered by Arnheim’s comment, and you’re using really unclear ways to express yourself, like “stealing valor” or “getting offended on behalf of someone else.” Also, you seem obsessed with balls. Did you have a Chuck E. Cheese ballpit accident?

I knew there would be one of “those guys” in the comments. You didn’t disappoint. 

You could have saved your time of responding and pointing at someone else but here we are.

Imagine being so upset about a comment on a videogame blog that you need to try to make fun of the person making said comment but come off looking like an asshole for it.

Given the amount of time you’ve spent running around telling folks that you pity them, I suggest you heal thyself, physician.

Eh. I went to BCT. Got put out in week six due to a problem with my lungs.

That is entirely secondary to cutting out a good 40% of the force through a choice of words in the context of an article purporting to be a studied consideration of the nuances of warfare as entertainment.

Imagine being the kind of ADULT who

Mentioning my wife’s service is not the same thing as claiming that service for myself.  Maybe get fucked with that straw bullshit.

I’m gonna be that dude for a moment. I loved every part of this review, but I ask you to please reconsider the following phrasing:
