Read up about victims of abusive relationships some. I mean, I don’t know this woman’s situation at all, but saying any abuse victim is terminally stupid or at fault for their own abuse is, well, terminally stupid in and of itself.

A guy talking about how his wife completely owns him and he is still into her sexually is... why men suck? Is it stated crudely? Sure. Is it stated disrespectfully? Not... really. Crude doesn’t necessarily mean disrespectful. It might mean childish, but it’s not like him saying that in any way makes it look like he’s…

I believe it, only because my gaming laptop— which can run FF:ARR at max settings without a hitch— will play Isaac at a crawl if I unplug it. I’m no expert about how games and graphics are optimized, but for a game that’s supposed to be minimalistic, it’s a complete mess at times.

This:

Sure, it sounds weird. It sounds weird on the surface that he was acquainted with her from a teen dating site, much less anything past that.

I just can’t wrap my head around what he was thinking, much less even begin to wrap my head around what she would have to be thinking to help him with this. How do people like this find each other and not run into someone first who would report them immediately to the police the millisecond they introduced the idea to…

Or she should get it whenever the person who made the money stipulated. I mean, it’s not as though children are automatically entitled to their parents’ money. He could have given that share away to charity, if he so chose. Instead, he chose to do what’s best for his daughter, as her father, even if he’s not going to…

THAT’S RUSSELL WILSON’S TOTAL LACK OF ORIGINALITY!

But solely by jumping on this, they’re admitting it’s true by dint of saying they find it credible that this poster actually is an engineer for Honda. It’s not about whether or not the guy is lying in what he’s saying; the mere fact that they’re insisting he falls under their jurisdiction is enough for them to have…

My assumption is, that when anyone reads any post someone makes on a message board/comment thread like this, they are (and should be) reading all the statements as a matter of opinion, not a statement of perceived fact.

Understood. I just rankle a bit at the assertion that anyone who didn’t like it just “didn’t get it,” because I don’t think it’s that at all. I mean, having gone back VERY recently to season 1, the two of them are nothing if not awkward, so that’s pretty spot-on. Hah.

Also, having a psychic alien abductee remind you that they had a personal relationship and a child together was... painful.

I think if people can articulate legitimate reasons why they disliked the episode, it isn’t the “popular, hipster” opinion driving them. I wanted to like the episode, have been nostalgically rewatching and enjoying the originals. But there were major problems in the episode, regardless, many of which have been…

Ticks.

This is a pretty good summary of what left me feeling oogy and uncomfortable about the whole thing.

For me, I felt like it sucked because they tried too hard to do two things: Explain for new fans while catering to old fans, and include “relevant,” “current” conspiracy theories.

The difference is, were you doing things that are catching up to you because that was your best chance at getting an education and making a living? For a lot of these guys, they didn’t exactly grow up flush with options.

Yeah, when you make a big show, get people out of the way of your phone for recording, and then make more of a big show, you want attention. If you succeed, you get positive attention. If you fail, well, you still get the attention you so obviously craved.

Most of these guys didn’t know the risks, or were severely misled about the risks, or just thought— as we all do when we’re in our late teens and early 20s— that nothing bad could ever happen to us. It’s not greed or stupidity, it’s just how people are. And when you’re surrounded by people who profess to be looking…

You can get paid for the job you did and still point out the faults with said job. In fact, he— and others who have been through it— are the ones first in line with the right to talk about it, and people who haven’t experienced it don’t know anything about it should probably shut the fuck up. That includes me, but…
