All evidence points to you being wrong, as I am in fact quite stupid.

Correct you are. So stupid that you should listen to what Caroline says, since she clearly knows better than your stupid self.

checkmate, atheists

But...
But then I'm not stupid, but then I don't have to listen to Caroline, which means I'm stupid, which would mean I'd never stop listening to Caroline...
*BlitzDungeoneer's brain starts to melt

[Loud Whispers]

Brainmelt may be a contributing factor to stupidity, you should get that checked or put in a brain jar of suitable equivalency to a skull

I do nog miss Tuypo. True, I think he worked to improve, but he posted weird poetry and his grammar made me want to gouge my eyes out.

Isn't he that one guy who said time should be in metric units?

But... but... time is already in... GAH! This is my new WTF for today.

(Now if you wanted to argue that time should be in base 10 that's a different story ).

Looking back at smeep's posts, I'll have to say I agree with you guys. What immediately jumps out at me is her dragging gender [orientation] into unrelated discussions out of the blue and never making any differentiation between accepting heterosexuals and ignorant heterosexuals.

Don't know about you but that got hilarious when it leaked into the Dwarf forums, I'm both saddened and gladdened that I missed the shitstorm that was

That wasn't her fault though. She made a mod that added trans and intersex humans (and I think all other races too), and then someone made a thing where they wrote in weirdly graphic detail about cleansing the world of them there queers.

You can always just pour the brain juice into a smaller skull. Denser in liquid form and all that.

I will never miss smeeprocket. I eventually just threw her on the ignore list so I didn't have to hear about how evil we all are. I'm not sure if I'd ever used it before...

It wasn't just the mod.

very leaky

[Eric Blank]

Lowest viscosity conceivable, highest friction. Reacts explosively with all known topics and has no measured ignition delay. Go figure.

[EnigmaticHat]

My eyes feel unfocused and I don't know why.

[Reelya]

Ehhh I think the topic is over frankly.

A lot of people are just frustrated because school basically crams this down your throat for your entire highschool experience.

As for the non-consent for things like kissing.

I'd HAVE to see that to believe it. There is just no way something like that can pass.

That would make almost half of college women rapists for a start. Those are the figures you get when you ask the college rape study perpetration questions to women: "did you use verbal coercion, drugs or alcohol, threats, or force to secure sexual acts". If a male says "yes" to any of that we'd shout to the hills that it's the smoking gun for rape! Yet about half of college-age women admit to using these tactics to secure sex. On the other hand, asking the victimization questions to college men nets up to 70% who say they've been sexually victimized by a woman.

These surveys were the ones developed by campus rape activists in the 1980s-1990s. But their "acceptable" results are entirely dependent on only asking the right questions to the right gender. So any results which are gender-specific are largely reliant on circular reasoning.

There are many fewer gender difference in behaviour than we realize, but this goes for the good, and the bad things.

[TD1]

Well... verbal coercion... I mean, how else? Do you just try to do it? A bit of verbal debate beforehand is probably not a baf idea.

[Reelya]

It's probably not your actual intention, but this highlights how domestic violence or rape apologetics are socially acceptable when it's female -> male.

Consider the amount of female->male violence in an actual domestic setting that's acceptable in fiction as comedy. Then consider Tropes vs Women claiming killing some female enemy in a sci-fi/fantasy game is symbolic of domestic violence against women. If it's female->male domestic violence they don't even have to be symbolic, you have the wife or girlfriend beating the guys head in right on camera, and that's the moment you're meant to laugh your head of, it's codified as a comedy moment. This puts in doubt whether violence vs women is really coded so strongly into the media like Tropes vs Women claims. If anything, violence against women in fiction has always been taboo, and it's only since the breakdown of patriarchy that this taboo has been explored for shock value.

There's a thread for that, you know? Pretty sure it didn't even get locked, everyone just got bored.


WTFing at how I have repeated the (fake) advice of "drink to fix your problems" to the point where it is now my default mental response for how to fix a difficult problem.

"If you see something, say nothing, and drink to forget."

It's locked.
