Dude your work on this website (as a “troll”) is very interesting. I agree with much of it, though not all of it. I love that you are so consistently ignored and hated by those who have a roughly homogeneous viewpoint—which kind of proves some of your points, I think.

Everyone loves the California desert until they get a job or stationed out there. Then you have make the drive between Rosamond to the Base. Then you cross onto the base at 1 mph over the limit because you’re distracted by the cool airplanes on display, and the 19-year-old MP pulls you over and tickets you. Then you…

What to make of it is simple- more evidence that playing games, even those that contain violence, brutality, or expressions of unsavoury societal attitudes (sexism, homophobia etc..) has minimal, if any, impact, on the player, and certainly does nothing to encourage violent or prejudiced tendencies in them.

The wage gap is real. Let's not pretend that this law would dramatically change that immediately. The reasons for the gap are too much of a social issue rather than a legal one to wave a magic wand and cure the wage gap. But what it would do is get the ball rolling on changing social norms that have their roots in…

Check your spelling of "priviledge" [sic].

As someone who watches events in Syria very closely, being from an Eastern Orthodox, Syrian-American family - I'm kind of like - where the fuck are these people upset about ISIS murdering human beings every other day? You know, days when they have to grapple with the thorny issue of what's to be done instead of just…

There was a lot more going on in each of those cases than just being left alone by outside powers. You're collapsing incredibly nuanced histories into an inanely simplistic theory. Turning back to Darfur, this is unfortunately a very complicated situation, not amenable to simplistic reasoning like yours or Clooney's.…

The short answer is that the area-denial weapons capabilities of our likely adversaries are getting better and better every day, and the US Air Force needs to be able to penetrate those defenses without losing planes or pilots in order to accurately strike designated mission targets.

It's different for different people. I can cross my legs fine, but then my balls tuck quite comfortably down the bottom. Men with bigger balls, or who have balls that don't hang so low are not so lucky, and probably those with bigger thighs suffer more as well. I've known friends who need a good 7-8" between their…

Be careful shooting at mirrored aircraft.

I am not American, so please don't include me when you point out defense spending. I grew up in a country that got screwed over by the US and has had to buy (and still buys) a huge amount of Russian military equipment to fight its neighbor (who incidentally gets a lot of US aid). But that doesn't make me blind to the…

Woah if you are really going to go there, Christianity in general is centuries ahead of Islam in general. In most Islamic countries it is extremly illegal to be gay, I'm sure gay people in Tehran would gladly have some Christians picket their funeral if it meant they got to live free and marry. Second how many…

Exactly.

I find most people are like this. I'm in engineering now, but while studying math I always tried to avoid disclosing my field because people ininevitably gave these 'compliments' that made me feel like a freak. I think non-math people are just totally unaware of how it comes off. Given their typical adherence to…

Culturally speaking, that doesn't surprise me. My mother encouraged me from a very young age towards STEM fields. Specifically, she wanted me to become a doctor or engineer of some sort.

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

You have failed feminism class.

Ugh. Science writing on Jezebel.

you are a gross period chunk that smells bad.

You offer a perfect example here. Owning/reserving and licensing patterns and designs makes sense and fits with modern intellectual property ideas. Working to secure appropriated land for indigenous people is one of the most admirable callings I can think of.
