Gamergate, first coined by actor Adam Baldwin, is an amorphous campaign that is ostensibly about ethics in video game journalism and defending the "gamer" identity but has come under fire for its links to a wave of harassment, particularly of women, in gaming.

Am i the only person who isnt into working out? Everyone around is like "oh let's hang out at the gym" and im like "the one with the smoothie bar, right?"

Why can't we just call vegan leather what it actually is? It's vinyl/"pleather."

This is funny, but fails to do anything with the way conversations like this start to make you wonder if maybe your "friend" actually just doesn't like you at all but is too passive aggressive to just tell you, instead inventing a schedule so busy it is impossible to make plans.

Ugh. Has Fallon ever been funny?

Troll harder.

thank you! It wasn't so boss when I was a child and being picked on but everything worked out

A lot of things.

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Granola is excellent. And I don't like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice anything. I am team Salted Caramel for fall flavor.

Another troll, @GustavusAdolphus is in the comments with pictures of animal violence. Please report and dismiss them.

However, saying "pew pew" is not a symptom and there is such a thing as age-appropriate screening for kids. It's like they downloaded some poorly written screening tool designed for high school…

My grandparents were awful racists. I didn't say a thing, I just went into another room and cried. (Some of the things they said were really upsetting.) And then... a few years later they died. Gone, their racist attitudes with them. They didn't affect me at all—I don't think kids adopt their grandparents' opinions so…

After 10+ years of BS, I divorced my inlaws. It's a thing. That period seems to be coming to an end, as Mr. Cocopop has been asking why I can't just talk to his sister.

I would like to take this opportunity to simultaneously thank and curse eBay for putting these in front of me :
