When asked about hydrogen, Musk called them "extremely silly" and went on a tear about his myriad of issues with the fuel before saying that the sooner we give up on hydrogen the better. "This will be super obvious when time goes by."

YouTube had to disable comments on Anita Sarkeesian's Colbert appearance because of a concerted effort to discredit her and humiliate her with downvotes and accusations. The 8chan thread where this plan originated included comments ranging from out and out hate speech to overly dramatic calls to flood all related…

Gamergate's only real defense is the logical fallacy that anyone who does things that makes them look bad is not a "real" Gamergater; even though their movement has no leader and is built on the idea that anyone who supports their basic ideals is a Gamergater. So any proof someone offers you will be shouted down with…

haha wow.

If that's your experience, I'm surprised. You may not really be looking. Take a look at Zoe Quinn's Twitter mentions, or FemFreq's, or Glenn Fleichmann's, or virtually any other indie dev. You'll see how ugly it gets.

What you're experiencing is often referred to as a "Heteronormative" outlook. This is "denoting or relating to a world view that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation". The idea that heterosexuality, even though it is far more common than homo or bisexuality is more "normal" than other…

There was no 'GamerGate', there was no movement, there was not a huge outcry.

All it takes is one unhinged person to kill someone. That her home address was published makes it materially easier for that to happen, which was the intent of publishing it — to terrorize women into keeping silent through threats of violence towards them. "We know where you live," it says. Can you tell the…

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…

You're a bit backwards, here. GG was created specifically *for* harassing women - at the time, it was specifically Zoe Quinn, although it quickly spread to 'everyone who GG sees as a "SJW" scumbag'. It was only later that others began to claim, "Nuuu, it's about game journalism! It's totally a righteous cause!" even…

But it's pronounce "Luxury Yacht".

That's one grade A redneck post you've done there.

"A little thing that can turn into anything at anytime."

I think there is a lot to be said for funeral practices in the West sanitizing, trivializing, and minimizing death - but that being said, I didn't have time to take a selfie when a dear relative died when I was a teenager because I was too busy at the listening to the priest's words and sobbing my heart out. It's not…

Not only is the '70s Chevy Monza not the best-looking Chevrolet ever, it's not even the best-looking Chevy to wear the Monza badge. The late-model Corvair Monza wins game, set and match.

That car is $10,000 away from being a $5000 car!

Well, without getting too off topic, there's a lot more that makes Texas useless. As a whole, the state of Texas is archaic in its laws and school systems, you have the third most death row inmates, and more who don't truly deserve to be there. You also execute the second most people per capita. You're only beaten by…

"bend the rules" ? lol you mean rules that lobbyists paid for to keep out competition?

That would be like if the NY Jets were suddenly to become a badass team, and all the other football teams paid the NFL to make up a rule that states that any team not named after an Animal, Person, Color, or Natural Phenomenon must…

what a fucking useless state

This quote is what prohibits me from sympathizing at all with these people. By them saying they're "sick of" thinking how the victim feels, it shows how little they care about the actual rape. This quote lost me and I decided that no, I don't feel sorry for these people and their "destroyed" (not actually destroyed)…
