Are there any games have a penalty for teabagging? It would be neat if it caused you to glow brightly for the rest of the round or maybe even made you get stuck in the crouch position for a while.

don’t even get me STARTED on what happens in Tresspasser

I hate the fighting rhetoric around cancer. I have cancer and I’ve been told I have a year or two, given its aggression and spread and my family wants me to try everything under the sun; however, I am tired. Tired of being in pain, tired of living without the leg they amputated when the first tumor ate through it.…

“I’d love to see us having real informed conversations about death and dying and demystifying the options like palliative care and hospice that still have the stench of defeat around them. We need to move away from this idea that dying is a failure and that you’re letting people down if you succumb.”

It’s funny. I was just thinking the other day that in some ways we’re losing touch with mortality. This was specifically in regards to the gizmodo article about DIY immunotherapy and everyone in that article was just focused on extending life without thinking about the inevitable. And how there’s this whole toxic…

I’m curious how they’re going to handle modding there. I never had a neoGAF account nor visited the site but any new forum, especially about games these days, needs to strike a good balance of moderation. If it’s trying to be some mythological Freeze Peach ‘utopia’ they’re going to be /pol or the shittiest of Reddit…

I wasn’t in the Discord and registered yesterday no problem. That may have very recently changed, but more likely they are having a hard time keeping up and had to lock it down a bit.

Public wasn’t open in the first place. Only people verified in discord servers were give access. Public registration is at a later date.

So how long before it becomes depressingly toxic like every other comment thread of gamers on the internet?

I’ve been practicing this now for quite some time - Not moving out of the way for men when I’m walking, not scrunching myself up so that some guy can occupy more space. Additionally, I’ve been asserting myself such as telling this guy at work who called me “mama” that my name is Nicole and to please call me that. This…

Three women claim Halperin, while fully clothed, pressed his erection against their bodies without their consent.

Hear hear. I grew up with a domineering military father who terrorized me routinely. He wouldn’t categorize it that way to this day, and I’ve found forgiveness for his actions over the years (more for my own peace of mind than his) but the hardest, most infuriating part about it is knowing I struggle now to avoid…

Exactly. If they think they can get away with it.

Just want to offer virtual hugs and commiserate. I still battle overcoming learned helplessness. It’s led to a few incidents where I overreacted in the other direction, because I didn’t know how to stand up for myself like a normal person.

It’s not awful to think or say those things. Yes, it is important that women are telling their stories, and it’s important that people are listening. But the point of the telling isn’t to traumatize those who have also been victimized. I guess what I’m saying is that no one expects you to take all of those stories on…

I feel awful saying this and I know it’s awful I’m even thinking it.

Sorry, Hannah, to thread-jack, but this is marginally related at least. Good Girls Revolt got me thru after the election, learning that it wouldn’t be picked up for another season seemed miniscule in the scheme of things, but still wildly germaine to how shit was running downhill. Now this:

That’s cause you’re lazy and boring and didn’t click on the link of the report this article is reporting on. But yeah let’s focus on that instead of a powerful man assaulting a woman. PRIORITIES.

I am both enraged at this story and incandescent with righteous glee that these motherfuckers are being dragged out to the bonfires by their shorthairs.
