For some reason I assumed Transparent was a sci-fi mystery show where some people inexplicably turn transparent and have to learn to adjust, while everyone tries to work out why it happened.

Ahhhh, being back in the greys, so great.

Note how Tao Lin repeatedly refers to Kennedy as "she" and "her" in his Facebook post when referring to recent events, even though Kennedy identifies as a man now.

They're posting about it now because it was just released on Steam.

The BBC article on the cover controversy says it's not meant to be Veruca OR Violet, according to the publishers. She's just... a random girl.

:( I enjoyed it, mostly. Granted I'm not a huge fan of the book, I have read it but I'd rather watch the BBC adaptation than read it again. I mean, I do understand why someone would be annoyed about a new adaptation taking great liberties with the original story, especially in a plot that smacks of wish fulfilment*.…

Oh, oops, truthtellah posted two different comments with two different gifs. Because of the weird way Kinja arranges comments, your question showed up beneath the Fireflies one so I assumed that was the one you were asking about. The first one was indeed from Princess Mononoke.

Nah, Truthtellah's gif is from Grave of the Fireflies. Highly recommended, but be prepared for one of the most profoundly sad movies ever made.

Probably getting it mixed up with DA:Inquisition, or with a ME4 multiplayer mode. All the rumours I've heard are that ME4's singleplayer protagonist will be human. But I suppose it's early enough that there could be a change, or there is a race choice but they're keeping it secret.

Dammit. I recently found out I have had Chipotle's pronunciation wrong for aaages. To be fair, I'm British and Chipotle isn't a thing here except in London. I'd never heard it spoken out loud, I'd just seen it mentioned online and made some crazy assumption that it was pronounced "chip-pot-ul". Heard someone pronounce…

One could argue their views stem from a mental defect that makes them think themselves in the right.

Ah, yes. ISIS, a group of horrifically oppressive, power-hungry terrorists and murderers - they're exactly like people with mental disabilities! Such an appropriate gif.

Some ISIS members feel this demonstration strictly upholds Shariah law, which "forbids statues or artwork depicting the human form."

No problem. Thanks for being willing to ask, listen and learn :)

Yes, it would. It's still making implications about his sexuality based on his marriage (implying his sexuality has changed to homosexual, but without any supporting evidence from Urie himself such as a recent quote where he identifies as homosexual). An acceptable sentence would be one that does not include a…

Christ, I hope my response didn't come off as really aggressive. Pleaaaaase don't punish me by shipping a box of house centipedes to my house.

I did look up the Wikipedia article when I was writing my comment, but as the only appropriate region mentioned was Europe, which is terribly vague, I did not take it to be confirmed that they had a stable population in the UK. We're not part of the mainland and have a cooler climate than much of Europe so we…

The "but" implies there is a contradiction between "being bisexual" and "being in an opposite sex relationship". It's part of bisexual erasure - implying that bi people who are in opposite sex relationships somehow don't qualify as bi, or are probably straight and lying about their identity. I'm saying that people who…

Jesus christ, that picture! I always thought centipedes were cute. This is like someone took all the worst traits of spiders and added them to a centipede to make the most terrifying creature imaginable.
