I realized recently that my pull list revolves mostly round indie comics and strong female characters. Saga, Lumberjanes, I like Courtney Crumin, new Ms. Marvel (haven't gotten into Captain Marvel yet, I know it should be a crime), Sex Criminals (how can a comic about sex be less objectifying??), and the new Storm. …

Women are told from a very young age that gaming "isn't for them." Even my 6 yo nephew declares "girls don't game!" while playing MY games at MY house. His sister doesn't get any play time because their dad thinks she isn't interested, when really she's being polite and waiting her turn (I've independently confirmed…

I had an employee that dragged out every job I gave her. She'd complain that she didn't have enough work to do, then sat on the work I gave her. I addressed it specifically with her and she still didn't improve. Thankfully she moved on.

This is the only way I can think of explaining to you. Take your rage, right now, at the comment I made. Fine. I can't change your mind. Now understand, that on a daily basis, on a CONSTANT basis, the men and women of this site are bombarded with death threats, rape threats, nasty remarks, and ugly messages. All…

I'm sorry you don't understand.

My point is that women gathering together on the internet to talk about their problems actually turns them into a target that trolls can attack directly because trolls know exactly where they are. Having rape threats and comments directed at you on a daily and personal basis is it's own form of abuse. Many abused…

As a user that gave up on Jezebel because of the trolls, it's very important. Trolls to Jezebel is like abusive spouses given the addresses of the safehouses of their victims.

I hate Harry Potter. There. I said it.

You could always look at how much you spend. Sometimes I'll do small, thoughtful gifts instead of a nicer one.

Well it took 5 years of getting nothing—not even a "we love you" card—before we decided to nix it. So obviously other people do it with no remorse.

I need serious help on sleep schedule. I've looked through most of the posts. I'm not tired during the day, I'm just tired when I wake up and taking over the world seems more likely than dragging out of bed.

My family doesn't give presents to adults. My husband and I spent years getting gifts for everyone until we decided only to buy for the kids.

Cherrychonga.

"What do you mean this isn't a con dedicated to Rainbow Dash????"

I can't buy into this. I'm a paper pusher. I'm really good at what I do. Is it interesting? No. Do people understand how difficult it is? No. Is it worth talking about? No. Would anyone ever say, "I'm proud of you!" No. No no no.

Plus funerals cost anywhere from $3k-$10k, which is probably not what you want to think about when someone you love dies.

The Story: A team of ants is working hard all summer to prepare for the harsh, cold winter. Meanwhile, a grasshopper spends the entire summer singing, goofing around, and wondering why the ants work so hard. When the winter comes, the grasshopper has nothing to eat and nearly starves to death (gruesome for a…

So you send off a spreadsheet to your wife that says, "not going to miss you! Here's why!" Your phone then rings and it's her. You assume....nothing and don't answer it? That's a douche move.

You didn't answer my question.

I can't watch it even though I love nerd stuff. The one guy....ewww.
