His ‘joke’ about a ‘fictional character’ being a slut tells me all I need to know about him. He is insufferable and everything I have seen him in was made worse by his presence.

CAT5e or CAT6 for future proofing… i throw out CAT5 now.

You haven’t fucked a graham-cracker… yet!

Not much of a cheese shop is it?

Unlike in the good old days where shelter was labor free.

I am not saying that the patriarchy doesnt run deep even at that age. I’m saying that it is different and those differences are not usually what is presented to anyone at that age.

In primary school, from a dating scene perspective, girls have much more control and choice (I mean, in situations where they are not actively oppressed by family/government/etc, which again, boys are not likely exposed to). When boys are presented with explainations of the patriarchy that absolutely do not jive with the feelings of inadequacy they likely have, they probably throw out the whole idea.

I also agree that “touch-grass” is bad advice, since if that was an option, it probably would have happened already.

Solution-wise, I would love to see an organization partner with xbox/playstation online services and have problematic players referred to counseling to correct these issues (and to get their accounts unbanned).

Sadly I think you are right and some groups are totally on board with more oppression as a means to force women into situations with them. Sigh.

I first heard it in high school, around 1991.

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

Mind, fucking, blown.

I thought this was really well put. The power dynamic between boys and girls is very different than between men and women. Few people explain this or make allowances for it so boys often hear about the patriarchy and it does not line up with their life experience.

What young boys like me didn’t realize when we were being lectured about patriarchy and the problems of men, is that being a man is an extremely privileged position over women, we’re just not old enough to benefit from it yet. This presents a problem on how we teach oppression and discrimination to young people who have little autonomy of their own and feel bad when you imply your immutable characteristics harm people you seek validation from.

Great acceptance speech.

Your flying-stick stunt had boomeranged on us!

We have all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.

Can’t upvote because 420 lol.

All memes should aspire to this.

Thanks, just finished the first book, wanted to make sure the movie would spoil the next one!

Does the movie cover more than the first book?

I worked with the RetroDeck and underlying EmulationStation devs on a bug and they were incredibly cool and welcoming. I didn’t really have time to start taking on other tickets, but their documentation and availability made it easy to find the problem, get a workaround, and submit a fix.

It is clearly a lightsaber, very civilized.

Fractals all the way down.

Yeah, everything seems to be on the up and up here. Just a regular day.
