WE ARE SMART

Context: today in Atlanta, there was a chemical spill that closed one major highway and a ruptured gas pipe that closed another. And we're still in the process of fixing the section of I85 that collapsed a couple weeks ago, and all that led to this.

I once mentioned playing a female video game character to my mom, and she spent 5 minutes working "Why don't you play male characters??" into the conversation at random intervals, regardless of topic. Conservatives are really, really weird about gender.

It was to look at your character's butt in third person view, wasn't it?
I didn't realize this argument was so wide-spread. Some people are more able to empathize with a protagonist of an entirely different species than they are of a different gender.

I just like to punch first, and ask questions while punching. (Or liked to. I got ridiculously sick of LoL about 6 months ago, and haven't touched it since.)

That said, yeah, some people can't explore other genders without some sort of "excuse". It's weird.



I was torn between identifying it as an anus or a cloaca, but those aren't really eggs, so I went with anus.

(Political Cartoons 2017: those aren't really eggs, so I went with anus.)

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


When I used to play WoW there were some neckbeards in my guild that made it REALLY creepy when they'd dress their female toons in skimpy clothes and say weird things about staring at their butts or whatever, but that's an outlier in my experience.

It's fine to play characters that don't match your gender. Hell, I'd argue that it's kinda the point of games - getting away from reality. I know I always tend to play female characters in RPGs, at least (though this is probably a habit I got from Mass Effect more than anything). Why are people so weirded out by it?

I think that for the vast majority of online games players treating women like consumer products is more the norm than the exception.

Implying that women are not objectified overwhelmingly by offline games? Like, I'll take the player bases views on gender for Overwatch over nearly any Koei Tecmo game easy.

I tend to play women maybe 3/4ths of the time if I get to choose gender, and that's probably because 99% of games have you playing as a dude and I like variety. Plus I mean it was just really fun playing as an attractive lady in a top hat whipping eldritch abominations to death with a cane-whip-sword in Bloodborne. I highly recommend it

It's because some goons have severe social anxiety and instantly have a panic attack whenever someone does anything that could get them laughed at.

Meh. If you haven't been reading and writing since you were a child, conversational skills don't mean you are able to draft a comprehensible letter, much less a damage claim.

In case you never lived in Connecticut, this the market/dairy that Barry Deutsch was working at:

http://www.stewleonards.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stew_Leonard%27s


It's a really cool, innovative store that has awesome food. I grew up nearby, and I used to love going there!
Depending on how old Barry is, there is a non-zero chance that I saw him working in his duck suit.

That said, Stew Senior did a stint in jail for tax evasion (supposedly one of the registers wasn't hooked up to the accounting system for like 10 years), but he took the fall to prevent his son from going to jail, so I guess that's cool.

It’s worth noting that in the current wave of protest following the Inauguration, the most effective and inspiring actions have been spontaneous and organic, organized and carried out by real grassroots outfits, many of whom were anarchists and other militant antifascists.

“Pussy Hats”, smarmy focus-grouped slogans, a Facebook group and a 501(c)3 are not “resistance”. Just so you know.

Anarchist and right wing anarchist are similar.
Apparently that redneck guy that don't want to pay taxes, and that weed smoking liberal that don't want to pay taxes hate each another.
Is good to be anti-establishement when you vote a guy that vowed to "drain the swamp", but is bad to be anti-establishement wen left wing people want to "drain the swamp".

Maybe is a tribal mater more than a political one.
