If you like Kershaw knives and want something larger and affordable, their knives designed by Rick Hinderer (the Cryo and Thermite) are great. Rick Hinderer is like their new Ken Onion (the guy that made the Leek). I recently started using a Kershaw Thermite and I just love it. When adrenaline starts going, hands turn…

I’m Irish/Sicilian on my father’s side, and that part of my family is a stereotype of New York mafioso immigrants, so I always had an attitude that was totally incongruent with my appearance, and bullies just couldn’t deal with it. Bullies are deeply fragile, and when their victims don’t shrink like delicate flowers…

Trump is great at taking any criticism and turning it into ‘See, that’s the kind of thinking that is destroying this country. It’s political correctness, and it’s destroying the country.’ What’s worse is that his supporters believe everything he says. He has all the hallmark characteristics of a fascist tyrant. The…

What kind of knife do you carry?

Among situational awareness, PTSD, and the general experience of being female in public spaces, it’s really hard to tell where one ends and another begins.

I recommend getting some pepper spray. I watched a youtube video recently where a bring strong male gun enthusiast talked about how he was attacked at Walmart in a…

I’m also a transwoman. For most people like me I recommend being armed, being highly aware of surroundings, and just escaping or de-escalating any dangerous situation when possible. But personally, I know that if I wasn’t a fighter, and I just let people bully me, it would have killed me a long time ago. Everyone has…

For most of my life as a transwoman, I’ve gotten the better of male harassers. I’m tough, I like fighting, and I’m good at it. Then one time a guy four times my size and his brother yelled ‘faggot!’ at me while I was walking into a gas station, and instead of fighting I just let them shove me around and pin me against…

Right, because there weren’t any of us at the Stonewall Riots (there were), and transpeople only come in the heterosexual variety (herp derp). Whether it comes out of ignorance or prejudice, is there much of a difference? Thanks for putting that out there.

And apparently this guy’s youtube name is Newman Chan, so may I just say:

I wasn’t crying until you said something. Thanks. Between this and a video I watched earlier where a ferret owner makes a vlog about euthanizing their aged and well-loved pet, I’m done with the internet. For like 45 minutes, at least.

I’m okay with whatever position copyright holders take on Let’s Plays, but I do wish they would fucking base their actions on whether or not the Let’s Play in question constitutes fair use. Let’s Plays aside, there are some major assholes on youtube taking others’ monetization and hitting people with strikes when the…

“These changes are taking effect as Microsoft Studios continues to focus its investment and development on the games and franchises that fans find most exciting and want to play.”- This is from the people who bought and dissolved Digital Anvil while they were balls deep into a Freelancer sequel, and this is despite…

Yeah, this is and has been my wallpaper for a few months. So good.

That was my immediate thought. For sure looks like Dash Rendar.

I heard they have lice and crash the servers. Then they leave comments on our highly starred comments and before you know it, some bureaucrat says they can stay in the blacks forever.

Me too. Few days ago. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

If that’s an issue for you, I would think you’d have been ‘out’ a long time ago. Why does an act of cruelty or violence have to move along a character’s story arc? I don’t understand the mental gymnastics required to say that it’s NOT a part of Stannis’ arc, or that it shouldn’t be. What happened says something about…

Honestly, I think he should make his own organization. Agree that UFC would turn on him in a second.

I didn’t know that. I went and found that short clip of him in a press interview where he’s tweaking and fidgeting, the one that’s being taken down everywhere it’s posted. Definitely stimulants. I felt like -I- had done a line just watching him. Ugh.

I didn’t see the kickstarter, or see how the game was pitched. But I’m curious. So, why did you back the game? How was the game pitched? Was he trying to make a zany, satirical, humorous simulator like Goat Simulator? My immediate thought was that this was a potato salad kickstarter from a new dev seeking to get some…
