As a poor person, I am disturbed by the prospect that, should I become rich sometime in the future, I may lose 70 percent of that wealth, and thereby become merely well-off.

Again, if you read my comment. The spike of growth which took place over five years was likely due to the investment caused by the rate cut, hiking rates as AOC is proposing would likely have the opposite effect. Like France... seven years ago... which I both linked to and wrote in the original comment.  Furthermore,…

She also noted that such tax policy was the norm until the 1980s, with an even-higher 90 percent marginal tax rate was enacted under noted dirty socialist . . . Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.

“Don’t meme if you don’t know what a meme is,” should be required learning.

Take note, AAA industry. There are a lot of AAA games that look and play worse than this seems to.

What, you don’t enter your PIN number into LCD display on the ATM machine?

Worst case scenario, patch all references of Pinkerton to be replaced by ‘Poppycock’.

This is both horrific and infuriating. It also hits way too close to home—after being the victim of assault, being made to feel as though I was the one that had done something wrong. To have to deal with this so publicly... I can’t even imagine, and my heart goes out to her. If it’s true that another group member gave…

This was amazing, thank you Chris! You knew this era was really in full swing when the shareware games themselves started getting clones - there were probably dozens of Commander Keen knockoffs on the BBS systems I dialed in to.

You did write “Unplug everything.” That position brings legalities into the situation, or perhaps revenge in anarchy.

Jamie was probably wanting to kill Bonnet anyway, after what happened when he attacked them. This is a character trait of Jamie’s (the need for revenge) that I wouldn’t expect him to outgrow.

As someone else mentioned, I do wonder about the stones (I’m guessing it’s probably never really explained in the books).  If I…

I was actually hoping Jamie would take the Karate Kid approach here and offer to train her how to fight back. Not assault her and make her feel utterly powerless. Jeebus, the girl is already walking around in pants and she’s got no problem slapping and punching men (Roger, Jamie, Ian)-she just needs training. Wax on,…

“But something very off-putting comes before Jamie’s guilt over having attacked the wrong man. He confuses what Brianna is saying and assumes she means that she had consensual sex with the man she previously said raped her. His immediate instinct is to think that she’s lying. What exactly is Outlander trying to…

Truer words never spoke. You force abstinence-only on a whole generation, you end up with a generation thinking that anal rape & strangulation are normal for a first date.

Notre Dame’s sincere efforts to educate students about consent and other aspects of healthy sexuality are pitifully weak in light of the fact that by the time students arrive on campus, many have been addictively watching pornography for years

Conservative College Men Ashamed Perverts Campaign for Porn Censorship

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that this is the kind of crap a lot of men will do under the guise of “I’m a male feminist”?

When I started college (oh god, 15 years ago?!?!) there wasn’t any WiFi on my college campus. You had to plug your machine into the wall with an ethernet cable. Plenty of people still used…

If pornography is the new sex education maybe conservatives should not have opposed sex education in schools for so long.

Harvard senior Will[y] Long, who launched an anti-porn campaign inspired by Martinson’s...

The artists I spoke with all named Pixiv, Newgrounds, and Twitter as the most serious options, and Pillowfort came up a lot as well. All the alternatives have drawbacks, though. One user said that what’s really needed is like an image based, community run site like Archive of our Own, with a social media feed, and I…
