I think a lot of people will respond to this thinking about developer salaries, without comparing those salaries to business software developers, who have the added benefit of greater job security. Even the people who are paid well are paid under market value and have breaks in work.

You want to make actual change? Because ranting and raving in the comfort of the Jezebel echo chamber isn’t going to do shit. Being a bigot is not a permanent condition, so don’t treat it like one. I get it, it’s easier to just walk out of the conversation and just talk to people who you know won’t disagree with you.

Or, and here me out, he was genuinely embarrassed. He was with what he believed was for all intents and purposes a natural born woman, get along with her, bonds a bit, then has her secret not only revealed, but then his own feeling played unabashed right in front of her.

Not everyone is some constantly aware saint.…

Whatever, maybe I’m a sucker but I actually liked the ad. Life is complicated but some things aren’t - if you’ve worked with someone to build something and had a positive experience, why wouldn’t you sit down and socialise with them. Engaging with each other more and straying from our self-imposed “camps” is what we…

Why? How can we move forward as a society together if we don’t talk to each other? In this scenario, the two of them sitting down and having a beer together reduced the number of trans-hating people in the world by one person which I think is a good thing.

Um yeah, they were pretty liberal about spending money on exclusive TV rights to events.

I agree. I backed this way back when, and I think the videos have been a bit hit or miss. A little to much “gender studies 101" for me.

The first one was part of Games With Gold months ago, so yes it’s already backwards compatible.

I smoked for 22 years. I tried to quit more times than I remember. At least 20 serious quit attempts. I bought a vape 5 years ago and I have had zero cigarettes. Zero. I used to use it all the time and I took it everywhere I went and I guess it was annoying. I don’t care if I bothered you. It changed my life. I still…

Nope. The world lost its collective shit when the Note 7 blew up, even though there were FAR fewer cases of explosions, injuries, and property damage than are associated with vaping. People lose their minds on me when they see me using a Note 7 because of a chance of explosion akin to winning the lottery while being…

I did the vape thing for a while until I started reading about popcorn lung. That scared me sufficiently to give it up and go back to cigarettes. I’m such a fucking idiot.

Last year I was visiting my parents for Thanksgiving I think, and my younger cousing (14yo) asked me to bring my MTG cards to play some matches with him. I took 3 of my old decks with me, one of them being a legacy UW control deck. He saw some of my cards, and asked if we could trade. He didn’t really have a concept…

The first game was derided for lack of content so they add a campaign to this game and people still complain? Man they can’t win.

Bioware should also be whipped and flogged for thinking that it was acceptable throughout the entire development process. Literally anyone who played the Prologue should have found the way they animated the faces and the dead-eyes to be unacceptable.

Now I can finally stop harassing that one female employee at EA, shave my neck beard and enjoy something for once.

Bota is my go-to wine of choice. I love the stuff.

Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.
