So protecting someone's comfort overrides the right of another person to their self-identity? They're not asking to be called Sir Lordship Picklebottom III, they're just asking to be referred to be their preferred pronoun, he/she, him/her, or in other cases they/them, or just by their name rather than a gendered…

Just gonna put it out there that I suspect a lot of the feedback being referred to didn't necessarily come via the comments section, as there are multiple ways to contact each writer (and when making "brutal" comments towards someone, doing it through more direct channels, such as email/twitter/g+ makes more sense). …

A pretty reasonable alternative to the Aeron is the Realspace Quantum Pro Mesh Midback chair from Office Depot. I've had both and for the price (~$250) it's a great, sturdy chair, highly adjustable. I'm planning on buying a second one soon for home. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/510…

You said In-n-Out and I got hungry, then I read your username and that took care of the appetite. :D

Fellow X-2/530 fan here. I bought 4 more sets off eBay last year (530s, 230s are hard to come by but you can just run without the rear/center fine), so they're still around, I usually spent around $40-50 for a set and they're all consistently great (one had some mesh torn a bit, no biggie). I was having such a hard…

SMB2 is and will always be my favorite of the series.

I bought my mom an Aeropress. After 50+ years of terrible burnt ass coffee maker coffee, she said the Aeropress tasted "too smooth" and went back to her 10-year-old $9 coffee maker.

I like the idea, and if they can hit that price point (and have good reliability and a decent warranty) I can think of a lot of people in my life that would be interested. That's a price point where buying a used car makes me particularly nervous, too cheap to be really good, too expensive to be a throw-away if…

It's not like this guy was running a lawful practice, using this as an example of why we need to increase regulations for other, legitimate providers is backwards and a knee-jerk reaction ti this situation. Gosnell wasn't running an abortion clinic, Gosnell was exploiting women and his employees, it just so happened…

Guns are a very heated topic right now and some people (both on and off the internet) tend to get so worked up that they'll skip past understanding the argument and just start shooting off their not-really-related arguments. I think that was Owen's concern.

Pet peeve alert. Serial Killers, Serial Rapists and Arsonists are Anti-social (to an extreme degree, sure there are milder cases). People who just don't like being around other people are Asocial.

Your understanding of the term is actually a lot more accurate to its definition. Someone who is anti-social doesn't take into consideration the way their actions harm other people or society. Serial killers are anti-social. People who just don't like being around other people are Asocial.

I should be taking a nap instead of reading Jez. I read while scrolling and saw "Loving Vagina should be enough freaking said" and nodded in agreement.

I've had the game for two days and can't even play the tutorial. But, yano, why should I be annoyed? You've got to play for 25 hours. I'm so happy for you!

You saying Panburger Partner isn't just as good? Blaspheme!

My old CVPI came with two spotlights. I left them in. Why? Because if I took them out I'd be left with two fairly big holes in the A-pillars that would have to be welded closed and painted. Same with the antenna, though mine didn't have one, why would I want to open another hole in the car that would have to be…

Are you using the VIP RSS? Back when they switched from full articles to the blurbs they left an alternate version that retained full articles, all it was was www.*gawkersite*.com/vip.xml where *gawkersite* is which blog (lifehacker, gizmodo, jalopnik, etc.) though now the lifehacker one at least forwards to…

I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.

This is well timed, I'm taking a road trip from Texas to Vegas in a couple weeks in my Charger R/T with a hot redhead. However, we're just going to different tradeshows and staying in a hotel well off the strip, so I doubt it'll be nearly as exciting Mr. Preston's experience. I've been to Vegas 4 times in the last…
