I transitioned at 15, and am now 29, so there was never a chance for me to join the military. I have a strong background in east asian languages, so I wanted to join the Air Force and work in the intelligence community in some capacity as a linguist when I got out of high school. I had hoped that with DADT crumbling,…

I recommend their album Slow Burning Lights with Yes Alexander on vocals. Probably my favorite BSBD collaboration. Nacho Picasso is good, too, but it’s a totally different style.

There are forums full of people trying to find solutions to the problem and complaining about Sony charging them money and just sending their machines right back with no change. I read an article in the middle of writing that comment about the 1tb version that came out in 2015 , and it mentions that Sony is being very…

I’m still pissed at Sony for putting those stupid fucking touch sensitive buttons on the PS4 that cause my PS4 to constantly attempt to eject, whether there’s a cd inserted or not. So in addition to preventing me from being able to play movies and games that are on disk, it also wakes me up at random times when it’s…

My thoughts exactly.

I say we go back to competing nude.

“If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”

A cleverly placed Mewtwo could be the fastest path to regime change.

Add this to the list of things Iran and conservative Christians agree on. I’m so stoked for ‘pokeyman is jap for demonic monsters’ part deux. That ex-satanist pear-shaped fucker with the mullet and goatee will no doubt be touring the country to expound upon the evils of Pokemon. Christians are already freaking out…

Tracer always has a dick. And I like it.

I felt like such a G as a fifth grader in the ‘90s when I had the presence of mind to teach my Pikachu ‘surf’ with a gameshark, and it actually unlocked that surfing minigame. I was the kingpin of a Pokemon black market.

Let’s take a moment to agree that this is the best pokevational ever.

I’m pretty seriously wondering if Intel delaying its new architecture for like a billion years, in conjunction with AMD’s processors running into the physical limitation of, well, causing electrical fires, is the only reason we’re getting this refresh. This has generally been the weirdest few years for technology.…

When the outgoing president from your party makes a policy designed solely to enhance your presidential bid, you don’t get to then lay that policy at the feet of the opponent you lost to. This was the election where being anti-war was momentarily fashionable for conservatives. McCain gets to live and die by that shit,…

Ted Cruz is basically the last person alive that gets to accuse Democrats of ‘political theater’. This is the guy that read Dr. Seuss as part of a filibuster that didn’t delay action on the bill in question. If reading Green Eggs and Ham during a fake filibuster to protest the Dem’s compromise on a concession of…

Well, it’s good to see the parasite that took over John McCain’s brain circa 2007 is alive and well. Christ, even Bush Sr. wrote that he wouldn’t fuck with Saddam because there would be ‘no viable exit strategy’. The invasion of Iraq was one of the worst presidential decisions in U.S. history, and you can’t lay that…

There’s always some language business and academia are pushing as something you should be learning if you ever want to be able to business in the future. It was Japanese. Then it was Spanish. Now it’s Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese). It’s always bullshit. English is going to be the de facto vehicular language in…

Well, it looks like I’ll be upgrading from knives and pepper spray to guns this Pride season. Maybe I’ll start a transgender gun club. I do believe we’re in the midst of a backlash. They lost on gay marriage, which they claimed would result in the complete breakdown of society, and have moved on to bathroom panic and…

They started at ‘let’s make a movie’ instead of ‘let’s tell a story’. Warcraft has an epic story and tons of lore that could work just as well as LotR or ASoIaF. They didn’t make the movie for the right reasons. Tonally it was all wrong. Like, they put assloads of money into the cg, only to give us sets that looked…

They get to dominate people without becoming personally vulnerable. That’s it. The kind of person that would buy 5 copies of a game is basically addicted to that feeling.
