literaryreference: You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend. But…

wilwheaton: section9: sotheresthat: YES.  PREACH! No. I’m sorry, but this is wrong. Seven paragraphs into this poorly-researched article, the author says: Let’s be clear: Not all craft beer is hoppy. There are many craft breweries that seek to create balanced, drinkable beers that aren’t very bitter at all, like Patrick Rue’s the Bruery in Placentia, Calif., and the Commons Brewery in...

fedorasofokc: “Which Ethnic Features Am I Attracted To? I must say I tend to prefer women with brown, brunette or black hair, brown eyes and skin that is darker than my own. Pale skin with dark hair is good though. Geographically, I do have a thing for women from the Mediterranean (and Europe in… He’s a winner, you should get on that.

polyintheprairies: Update!! Sorry if this is longer than you want to read (but if it is than what are you following me for really) Spent a lot of the morning with D, until I had to work, then work called and said I didn’t have to come in!! I would have spent longer with him, but I guess he’d already told his wife… Don’t know how you manage it.  For me, seeing threeish people is a...

I still get angry thinking about The Red Badge of Courage after all these years.  ”The sun was pasted in the sky like a wafer”?  Fuck you, that is not symbolism, that’s just bad writing. Some Dan Brown level shit going on there, and we make kids read it and pretend it’s great literature.  No wonder they think they hate reading.

So Rand Paul has gone off the deep end (again)
politicalprof: This time alleging President Obama is involved in a secret treaty that would compel the government to confiscate all American guns, etc. In a fundraiser (perhaps unsurprisingly). BTW: No such treaty EXISTS.  ht: Ezra Klein No but seriously guys this person is named for Ayn Rand. What did anyone expect?

You know… No matter how neutral you are toward the person in question, how little time you have, or how many people you’re already seeing… Getting stood up sucks.

It’s amazing how many exceptional men (Pinker, e.g.) have convinced themselves that exceptional women are less common than exceptional men, rather than suppressed.

– “Women in Mongolia” Wikipedia article If you know anything about women in Mongolia, this article could use some serious help. (via coolchicksfromhistory) This article is just awful and has some obvious problems, but I don’t feel qualified to update it.

codingandtea asked: I know, right? Its like how I have heard some men complain about women in the gaming world because gaming was a place they could be themselves and women are ruining it because now they have to filter themselves (aka not spout as much misogynistic b.s.). Because being respectful to women is outrageous and they would rather be free to express their misogynstic feelings without being called out on...
