*pondering how to keep this spoiler free* I'm really darkly morbidly curious as to whether the show will totally.... go there... in showing the story arc between Michonne and the Governor, to the extent that the comic did. Part of me kind of doesn't want it to, it was horrible enough on the page, in drawings in…

I'd agree with this. I'm 30 and I feel that age bracket is kind of on the borderline between age groups more likely to consider geeky things "socially acceptable"

I could be wrong but isn't the average size (in America I think) something like five or six inches? Compared to porno sized dongs which are, I dunno, eight or something?

Well, Sodini was a bit different. Sodini made it chillingly, blood-curdlingly, hair-raisingly clear that he was doing this to punish women in general for denying him sex.

Who was the comedian who had a routine about this? "I don't have to watch the nightly news and go, oh no! A white man held up a corner store and shot a bunch of people! This is going to reflect so badly on the white community!"

One of the player characters in 'Dead Island' was an Indigenous Australian female, which I'm pretty sure was a gaming first. She was obviously voiced by a white actress though - although at least an Australian actress.

Women take physical attraction into account when picking sexual partners too! O WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? *flails arms about*

I actually had a Nice Guy friend say to me "Why don't we go out with each other? Neither of us are ever going to have someone who is physically attracted to us and likes us for who we are, we might as well settle."

YES!! I play video games and therefore have a lot of video game playing friends. Some of whom are single and male and whine "There are no nice single gamer chicks, they've all been taken already." Uh yes, there are plenty, you just won't look at any female who (1) doesn't meet your exacting gamer standards and (2)…

When guys whine that "Women say they just want a nice guy but then they date an asshole" I always want to say "Yeah, and guys say they just want a down-to-earth girl with a good sense of humour, but they kind of want her to look like a swimsuit model too".

Exactly. I also like the "Don't be a nice guy, be a good man" line.

I recently lost a friendship with a guy because he pulled some of this shit on me. We've been friends for years without any sexual attraction. And it's not that he suddenly woke up one morning and realised he was sexually attracted to me. He woke up one morning and decided "I could go on chasing the girls I want, who…

I always come back to "If you're only nice to someone because you hope they'll go out with them, that actually isn't very nice at all."

I remember 'The Onion' did a parody on this a few years ago. "Ugly little girl abducted and murdered - community couldn't care less".

I hadn't heard this story. Interesting. Do you think it'd be fair to say that when it comes to abandoning or defending your children in a situation like this, it isn't so much about gender? I could imagine a mother who abandoned her kids and fled the scene without them copping as much flack for her actions as a father.

I have NEVER locked my doors when driving. I dunno, it's just never been an issue for me. And I know that it was a scary thing to happen but, seriously, it happened so quickly and was over so quickly there was no time to be scared! It was literally "Hey, are they trying to steal my car? I think they are. Oh, they're…

You're beautiful because you're a beautiful girl who doesn't know she's beautiful. Uh, thanks?

I nearly got car-jacked last night. A couple of young guys (teens? they definitely looked way younger than me) ran up to my car at the lights, opened the door, tried to pull me out. But their plan to steal my car was foiled because (1) I had my seatbelt on and (2) I dunno, they just kind of gave up and ran away again.

I'm not a parent but was once the carer of a little girl from eighteen months through to nearly four (she's back with her mother now and things are fine, this was a few years ago, I get cards at Christmas and for my birthday). It was obviously a major responsibility but I had lots of support, etc. But the tantrums...…

It almost makes you think longingly of the days where women got to pick between being gorgeous+dumb/incompetent or plain+smart/accomplished. Because you'd figure that when you grew up you'd have one base covered at least.
