  1. Ouch. That must have been really painful for her (and yourself). Thankfully, my lady is doing a lot better already and it looks to have been a false alarm.
  2. Spent most morning taking my girlfriend to the hospital for severe abdominal pain. Looking like it was food poisoning of some type, but since she's had an ectopic pregnancy + miscarriage before and it coincided right with her ovulation (which has been causing discomfort since said pregnancy) I figured it was better safe than sorry since it could have been an infection, but that got ruled out thankfully. Ugh, family members die and I can't bring myself to show emotion but my girlfriend has stomach aches and I totally freak out. Guess I must really love her.
  3. "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Spoken by that shining example of humanity, Pat Roberston. Reactionary hysteria is always hilarious, whatever form it takes. I'm personally waiting for the moment when someone claims that water fluoridation is some insidious SJW plot to sterilise straight white males. "I can no longer sit back and allow SJW infiltration, SJW indoctrination, SJW subversion and the international SJW conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!" You don't have a lot of posts, so I assume you don't know Volourn. Meet Volourn, a master of hyperbole, trolling and generally rubbing people the wrong way. He's not so bad once you get to know him.
  4. Agent Carter premiering today, right?
  5. Ruined my plans for pan-fried cod filet when they expelled so much fluid that they boiled rather than fried. I completely forgot to let them leak out for a considerable time after defrosting. Whoops, my bad!
  6. I think it's Amber Heard, but I could be wrong.
  7. Yep. Well, I'll be damned. I'm starting to vaguely believe those claims that this puritanical group is situated entirely in affluent San Francisco.
  8. That's so weird. I thought Frank Oz was dead a couple of weeks ago and people were like "what you talkin' 'bout willis?"
  9. Time for a movie version, I'd say.
  10. Generally I use word of mouth and some YouTubers, though I do peruse The Escapist and GameFront.
  11. It must be so boring to have friends so uniform in opinion.
  12. Not entirely sure what to make of that. Is it ethics? Can it be?
  13. Well you live in a particular country, you are citizen of that country. Don't you automatically just support them in international sports events? Sometimes I wonder how you can have incredibly generalized and oversimplified views like this. People are varied, not all of them care about sports and not all of them think the personal accomplishments of athletes reflect on a country. Some might dislike the personalities of players involved and root against them, others might simply not be proud of their country - do you assume all Ukrainians will root for their "home team"? Quite a lot of people I know get so annoyed with overblown soccer mania every time there is a championship that they actively support the opponents. Even without that, most people I know aren't overly patriotic - it's not like you had a choice in where you were born, after all. Even the ones that are won't just blindly support something. A person can be proud of some things a country has done while not being overly fond of how they are doing now, for example, and in some cases people can even actively hate their country.
  14. I completely forgot about the entire game-breakingness of Use Any Item. And high level traps.
  15. What's natural about patriotism?
  16. Trying to skirt around the issue? Journalists may have been infiltrated by an ideology or somesuch (I wouldn't say the entire of feminism is an issue being such a huge, varied and amorphous blob of people just like #GamerGate, at most ridiculous post-modern third wave cultural marxist view that seems prevalent among the Tumblr crowd), but I very much fail to see how some dumb twitter troll who was never in it for the ideology but to rile up #GamerGaters is connected to that in any way, shape or form. This woman (or man, or whatever, I elected not to read the damn expose) is a distraction and I guess she did an absolutely wonderful job of that judging by how important you think it is that she gets discussed in depth. This is the last I'll say on it because I have more interesting and important things to think about.
  17. That's a very "ends justify the means" mentality. Might be a rationalisation that SJWs would use. Witch hunting and ad hominem is wrong, especially since what we're supposed to be focusing on is bringing meaningful change to the media and instead some people seem to care more about some douche that tweets a lot of imgurs and who would be silenced by the simple act of ignoring.
  18. Why do we care? It's just some dumb internet trolls that tweeted about #GamerGate incessently. Nothing that neccesitated this level of scrutiny, just blocked her and I was fine. Getting mighty irritated by the witch hunt mentality on both sides. EDIT: This was about that RalphRetort article, not the hookers thing.
  19. Bruce, can you read my post again? Specifically the first 8 words? Because your response shows a lack of reading comprehension.
  20. I love cheese but I very rarely use them in dishes because my lady is lactose intolerant. My friend actual lives near a world-famous recurring cheese market, but he despises it because it means his home will smell like cheese all week.
  21. I had some Apfel Korn left over from a party but nothing to mix it with. I dumped it in chocolate milk. Don't follow my lead, it was awful.
  22. I'm not going to talk about sex workers because my knowledge consists out of how it works in my country and that's not even close to how it works in all of your respective backwards holes.
