Not directly, No. He argued that we should stay together because of the child (which would permit him to continue to treat me poorly), but I know from my own upbringing that “staying together for the kids” is one of the worst things you can do to your kids. I did not want to raise the child as a single mother, but I…

Holy shit. I realized in real time while reading this how ingrained the social stigma is, because I got annoyed when I first read it. I went immediately and unconsciously into that useless territory of “man up” or some such bullshit, and I had to stop, pause, and walk myself back. So, clearly we need more work…

Something that just came to mind: Apple TV+ is getting a Foundation TV series. Which, if done right, could be the kind of show we need right now, seeing as how the backstory of the series is that the death of intellectualism caused the death of the Galactic Empire.

Almost nobody will ever admit it, but the world needs pedantic people like you and me. Otherwise language blends too much and our entire vocabulary becomes “I am Groot” or “Station.” Except that we don’t have the psychological capacity to tell one Station from another.

That they don’t have to share their cakes when their birthdays come around?

ok yeah call that shit out, but I’m still gonna call out that terrible fucking headline, because come on.

Can we reserve phrases like “the dumbest shit ever” for dumber shit than this? Like, this is some “EA is the worst company in America” level hyperbole. Like, it’s a fucking demo.

Then you’re doing everything you can. It sounds like you’re trying to help them keep any possible perspective, you’re praising their effort, and you’re hanging on for dear life. I’m sorry it isn’t easing up at all for you. :(

He abused authority, he shouldn’t be given a position of authority again. The fact that you’re pretending this is a really complex or confusing idea says a lot about YOU.

Christ on a stick, I feel like Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz yelling “You’re a detective. Detect!” Admittedly a lot of this article is very detailed and interesting, especially about Twitch’s insane cut and how he’s paying his moderators and about his decent views on paying taxes. I’m glad I found all that out.

“I’m a reporter, not an accountant”

He's 6, you berk. And experiences human emotions.

Agree to disagree indeed. On a number of things.

Does Epic have any actual exclusives, or just timed ones? (apart from games they actually make, of course).

Damn, that is excellent. Well done. Please do use my approval as proof for Mrs. Bassbeast that this is a necessary purchase.

I second this. When I was about 7, I arrived home from school to an empty house and I was locked out. My great-grandmother had been rushed to the hospital and I was supposed to have stayed at school to be picked up. A man I’d never seen before drove to the house and said, “Your parents sent me to get you. They said to…

...and she will regret her decision.

I mean, it’s more of a videogame and books tattoo, with some other stuff of importance to me, but...yeah.

I’m literally the wokest person I know (and I currently live in Portland) but you are going out of your way to find something to be offended about. I don’t make a habit of telling another POC how to feel but there’s literally a million other things to be outraged about. Let this one slide.

Stop using LH to push your personal racial agenda.
