As a stealth Mexican, it’s very easy for me to detect when an American is full of it or not. One second they can be very buddy buddy with me but when the conversation shifts to where I’m from their demeanor quickly changes haha it’s tremendously amusing to me :)

Whitefish Bay is known not-so-affectionately as White Folks Bay

I have a reaaaaaal hard time believing the robbers beared any resemblance to John Henson whatsoever, other than the fact that they may have also been black. The man is seven feet tall. Getting robbed sucks, but don’t try to sugarcoat this...

How exactly did they “bear a resemblance” to Henson? You realize he’s 7 feet tall right? I know people aren’t great at guessing height, but when you see a 7 foot tall person it’s pretty obvious they don’t look like a 6 foot tall person.

Of course GG will be around in the future, it’s just another offshoot of the MRA/Red Pill/Sluthate movement. If GG were really interested in the ethics of gaming journalism they’d be addressing the REAL issues in gaming journalism: paid content, shilling, conflicts of interest, paying for reviews, etc. Not with women…

Yeah I’m sure it was the anti-harassment group that was threatening on site violence...not the side that has been violently threatening people for over a year.

A depressing number of men are profoundly threatened by the fact that it’s become somewhat harder for them to regularly treat women as less than human without being called out on their misogynistic behavior. It really is that simple.

—Just make your panel about “online harrassment” or “women in video games” or “ethics in gaming journalism” and leave that useless label to the dustbins of history—

Because the world is full of petulant children who can’t stand anyone else being in their sandbox.

Uh, because they’re fucking trolls?

So Gamergate supporters prove that they aren’t violently misogynistic by being violently misogynistic?

A panel about dealing with online harassment was shut down due to online harassment?

Add to that all of the people who do not live near a store that sells produce, frozen veggies etc. There is just not the time for some families to get to the far away store and buy the items. Plus you have the transportation costs etc. I have had people marvel at how low my grocery bill is compared to the type of…

I spent decades of my life being poor... One thing many people don’t realize is that when you speak of the time cost for something, they do not seem to get it... If you work TWO 32 hour /week jobs and spend over 3 hours travelling each day to those various jobs, just to make enough to pay the rent, you simply don’t…

John Scalzi wrote about being poor, and hundreds of others added their own experiences. I find myself rereading it pretty often, because I was almost at that point once, and I have family that still is, and it’s sobering AF.

Good for you for making time out of your busy schedules to cook real food. Bad on you for not realizing how completely tone deaf your post is. In fact, it’s a near perfect example of the ‘if I can do it, everyone can’ reasoning.

No, not everyone can do this. Not everyone has the funds to buy enough food to cook a week’s worth of meals at once. Not everyone has the freezer space to store those meals. Not everyone has five hours to devote to actual cooking. That you think the lifestyle of an attorney and physician accurately represent what it…

Fruit is super expensive where I live. $2 for an avocado. $1.50 per apple. $1.50 for a pear.

“This article is complete bullshit, the poor have it easy. This is just an excuse for laziness.”
