A They did this by loving up any and every reviewer who dared criticize misogynistic elements of games, or bring up equality in any way, and by sending death threats to Sarkeesian and others, and by wishing rape upon many female designers and reviewers. You know. For unbiased reporting. The "gate" is them trying to elevate this little slapfight over silly bullshit for children to the same level as one of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century. Without a trace of irony they use this term, "gamergate".

leica posted:I'm kind of afraid to ask, but what the gently caress is game gate. A female video game developer broke up with her boyfriend who worked at the Gawker gaming site Kotaku. A bunch of nerds, including her ex, decided to be misogynistic assholes to her and Anita Sarkeesian under the guise of wanting to make sure that """""games journalism"""" isn't a corrupt shitshow. This is extremely germane because her one game that she's made is a free-to-play game that she released a year before ever meeting the editor at Kotaku, and she was clearly manipulating for getting a good review... on a game that he never reviewed... that's free anyways... because... reasons? Anyways, it's difficult for a nonzero number of the population to treat women like people.

Fart Pipe posted:I like gin and tonics but I can never taste the differences in gins. They all taste like pine trees to me. Good gin isn't to be mixed with tonic, which is probably why you can't taste the difference. If it's for a G&T just use Bombay or something middle shelf. Or if you really like a good bite Beefeater (that's my go-to for gin and tonics).

I actually like Gilbey's gin, which is nice because it is dirt cheap. Bombay is good too, but I still prefer Gilbey's. I also like Old Crow whiskey, so apparently I have the alcohol palette of a hobo.

Picked up a nail in my left rear tire about 1cm from where I got a nail about a year ago. It can't be patched, apparently. Hello tirerack.  Also one of our cattes got out last night and I haven't found him yet today. I put up a craigslist lost/found ad and am periodically checking the local shelter's stray list. Kitty pictures incoming if he returns. I'm staying hopeful that he's just napping in some underbrush. I'll go out and look again around dusk since that's when cats tend to be most active.

At the last wedding we went to, my wife had a bit too much to drink and decided to switch to water, hoping to ward off the hangover. She reached for what she thought was a glass of water and took a big gulp. Turns out it was a lukewarm gin and tonic, which is disgusting by itself and doubly so when you're expecting cold water. She did a picture-perfect spit take, fortunately not directly at anyone.

Figured out how to make YouTube link to my Tivo system from Mediacom. Its now lazy rear end mode because I don't feel 100% and I can watch MST3K. Plus I am just beat, been up since 7pm yesterday, work at 0040 off duty at 1040 and not showing to go back till 5 am tomorrow. I am not doing poo poo! I have just lost all motivation, but next time I get home I really need to get some fluids changed on the Rover and prep the Jag to go into winter storage.

That's probably the best approach. The people involved in this sort of thing are usually of the "agree with me 100% or you're worse than Hitler" persuasion anyway, so gently caress 'em.

I'm not crazy about misogyny or misandry. Ahaha oh holy poo poo. Spell checker recognizes misogyny but not misandry. Wow. My partner has a friend that's a misandrist. Really I'd love to hit her over the head and bury her somewhere when she essentially dehumanizes males, including me, like it's nothing. I can't grasp why people are like that beyond some hosed up person somewhere along the line propagating the view through their offspring. People are people. Sure the differences can make one gender a bit hard to comprehend to the other at times but that's no reason to hate them. So, changing away from all this, I picked up an espresso machine from the secondhand shop. Still had the manuals, tags and all. I've been having way too much coffee since. I only drink it black but damned if I don't like coffee made with them the best.

I only drink coffee when I have little else to choose from. After years of aviation coffee, which is made from Skydrol and ground-up tires as far as I can tell, the thought of drinking coffee - even good, well-made stuff - makes my stomach turn. Give me a cup of tea instead please. Unrelated, but I just had a great lift and I feel much less angry now.
