12 was an amazing game, but a really shit story, which for me was one of the major reasons I played Final Fantasy over other games. It had no emotional core. Any of the main characters could have died and I wouldn’t have cared at all. 13 carried this on, sadly. I’m waiting to see what 15 will be like. Self inserts are…

I think what is most disturbing is that getting swept into a cult is that it happens to a lot of people we would consider normal, if perhaps vulnerable. The scariest part about cult psychology is how much it could happen to you, or someone you know, given the right circumstances. Take someone who feels unfulfilled or…

Radicalization is weird like that. There are parents who beat their sons, one to death and the other injured, because the older one wanted to leave their church. Others committed mass suicide by poisoning themselves and their children because they were convinced that there was a spaceship behind a comet. Cult…

It’s a sex toy that sucks on your clitoris. Here’s a comic review from the webcomic Oh Joy Sex Toy (nsfw): http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/womanizer/

Even forensic investigations on CSI take longer than two days. This is outrageous.

One wonders if this has been an “open secret” and now that it’s out, everyone is jumping ship à la Bill Crosby, because they already know that it’s true.

Really? I thought The Wiz was ten times better than the abomination that was Peter Pan. Definitely the best production they've done, not that the competition was fierce.

Thankfully Ne-Yo was a better actor than I expected and probably the most impressive male singer too. Mary J. Blige just killed it all around. I wanted her to stay on stage longer and have another song. She was great.

I might agree, but Congress won’t even let studies of the most effective forms of gun violence prevention be conducted. So none of what you said, never mind outright banning certain firearms, is going to happen until enough people care enough to make their Senators and Congressmen vote for even basic measures of…

Right? All my athletic wear is from Old Navy. It’s durable, comfortable, and good quality. I don’t know why you would pay more for the same pair of tight ass-gripping pants.

I just want to take a second to appreciate the fabrics. The tattoos and face are done really well but it’s rare that someone makes a cosplay outfit which still looks good in a close up.

Given the amount of ill-trained animals that float through their offices, probably not. Maybe with the sweet ones.

No one said that. Granddad was critiquing that there is too much high-fiving of famous men, and particularly white men (see: James Deen, Joss Whedon, Jon Hamm, Ryan Gosling, Louis C.K., Patrick Stewart), in mainstream feminism for paying basic lip service to women. That lip service doesn’t make a person a feminist,…

Her shade comes with a side of hair dressing.

Why I had my babies in a hospital:

Oh wow, he vacuums? Sign me up for this hunk. Maybe if we’re lucky he also puts the lid down.

Connecticut’s governor, Dannel Malloy, announced that the state will be accepting refugees as promised. His Facebook page is filled with vitriol from jingoists who let fear dictate their lives and override their mercy. But at least one state has publicly announced it will remain humane.

We have also decided we prefer to be indoors, coincidentally. The “we” here is royal.

Good luck! Every kid is different so yours may not mind, or hate it with a first passion. My toddler is currently protesting jackets, socks, shoes, pants, and long sleeves. And things that are the wrong color.

Mine did, at least until we transitioned to a big bed and used regular blankets. I just had to make sure it was long enough so the feet could move around independently and weren’t constricting leg movement. My kids are unusually tall, often thought to be a year or more older than they are, so the challenge was finding…
