Actually it was a pretty good op-ed. In fact I urge you to print the following passage, laminate it, and put in in the mailbox of your colleague Isha Aran, whose unnuanced sense of outrage has me rolling my eyes so hard that I’ll probably need corrective surgery:

Did anyone else spot lord helix in the middle?

I am treading lightly, because I don’t want to bring up a bunch of old white men’s achievements in a thread that is praising a talented black woman.

TBH - Paul McCartney and George Harrison are / were extremely talented.

I use Snipping Tool constantly at work, it’s so useful. Along with Notepad, it gets immediately promoted to the taskbar whenever I set up a new machine.

Ahahaha, you think humans are making the conscious choice to invest in this company? NOPE this is all ai driven investing.

this is good trolling. Hit all the standard points in one post.

Ok, well I’m going to step out because you’re wrong _and_ moving the goalposts but I don’t care enough to continue arguing.

I, myself, am partial to Xe/Xem, as “x” is a well-understood reference to variability.

“Kylo and Rey aren’t as good of fighters as they are force users”

But where was the use of the force? Couldn’t Kylo pick up one of Snoke’s guards and just slap the others around with him? For two powerful force users they were really lacking in abilities when fighting the guards. 

I was desperate for that to happen. For her to take the offer and join Kylo, and for Luke to sacrifice himself in a huge way in order to turn one of them back (which one? Who knows!). Was gutted that she didn’t.

Aye. Percentages give people a lot of false senses. And the left is the absolute worst about extrapolating anything good as fantastic, and anything bad as cataclysmic. Milkshake duck is a very liberal phenomenon.

Awarding responsibility for political victories based on zero-sum analysis of demographic voter data is one of the stupidest, most obnoxious ways we handle electoral postmortems now. It’s not bad to see people given credit for good shit. Whatever, that’s fine. What’s shitty is that this is the same impulse that…

Try being a man and expressing an unpopular opinion in Russia or China or Saudi Arabia or North Korea or Pakistan or Zimbabwe or Egypt or Uzbekistan or Cuba or Turkey or... How is this even a fucking question? Presuming you’re American, you live in one of the few places in the world where men have the legally…

Yes, and for years now people have given Microsoft shit for problems that were caused by third party software and hardware. Those were the consequences, I suppose, of not locking down the platform like Apple have done.

Sure. I can’t comment on whether DDT is more effective on a broader range of insects for general use than the ones we use now- specifically bed bugs are super resistant to pyrethrin now, which isn’t the same as DDT, but has a similar mode of action, which implies they would rapidly develop DDT resistance if it…

I’m sorry! I am but a junior kinjaneer! Teach me senpai!

Psssssh Trivial? Its dialogues like these that the gaming community needs to hear to start the healing process between them and their content creators. Games Journalism does a mighty fine job of dehumanizing the process doesn’t it?

I’ve just never seen a sprite that wasn’t front facing. The very nature of a 2d image in a 3d space demands they be billboarded. Unless you are deconstructing the aesthetic.

“Is it wrong to say that I like X over the core series, 100 times out of a 100?”
