I’m really enjoying the joy on Octavia Spencer’s face too. I think that’s how I would react.

I think the difference is the respect for the institutions of government and of the American people. GWB had bad policy that tanked the economy and got us into unwinnable, destabilizing, unjustifiable wars. But he at least respected the office of the Presidency, the humanity of Muslims and immigrants, and while he…

That’s called being a professional. Many actors are able to differentiate and draw a hard line between real and fake. That’s what makes them actors, and not reality tv stars.

Man I wish I had a night nurse for my kids when they were babies. Just to feel normal again for like three minutes. Or hours. You do you, friends.

I think you see this a lot as you go up higher education. Which is a shame, because academia needs - and often values - a diversity of voices, but it’s so hard to break through that it’s a huge financial risk. In my friend’s program, he is the only person he knows who had blue-collar parents. And even his parents had…

A caveat to this, though:

Well, unless it was to buy investments.

Meant PS Plus, which needed some fixing.

I have two daughters and I am a woman myself. I dread the day when I have to teach this to them, because I will, and I hate the thought of burdening them with it. Even if it is for their safety.

Don’t get me wrong, I actually think this console looks great. My husband and I both play games, and the ability to sit next to each other on the couch and both be able to play games is very appealing. You can do that somewhat with the Wii U, although many of the most fun games (like Splatoon) you need the TV. Just…

To me the name just sound super generic. It makes the game sound more like shovelware than it really is.

I agree. Celts used a lot of fabric. In fact, all peoples used a lot more textiles than we give them credit for, but especially people with domesticated wool animals like alpaca (in parts of South America) and sheep (in parts of Europe.)

Yeah, I’m going to wait. My eldest is 4 now and in a year or two, this console will probably be perfect for kids (and me on the go). But really I just want to play Zelda, and I already have a Wii U, so I’m going to hold off for a while.

Could be, but PS4 launched with PSN and it wasn’t very good until they fixed it. It’s possible that Nintendo is trying to perfect it first. Still, it does at least make the Switch look rushed, so that’s not great optics.

Yeah, you may want to consider working to fix that. That’s going to take its toll on you eventually. We just aren’t meant to be awake that long frequently.

And American Revolutionary War soldiers!

I have sunk dozens and dozens of hours into Overwatch, and normally I don’t like online play or FPS shooters or competitive games. And yet, it’s great fun as to justify having the PS4, along with some other great games like Uncharted, Dishonored, Tomb Raider, and Metal Gear.

Also important quote:

That’s not over-analyzing, it’s just regular scientific analysis. There are hundreds of psychological and sociological studies about social and gender development. It’s not like some pot smoking bro philosophizing from his couch, studying how social constructs form is a science and has been for years. Marketers use…

Thanks. I wish I didn’t know what those mean either, but them’s the times we live in :/
