It shows that marketing departments are completely out of touch with their consumers.

Well of course women pens are pink and pastel purple. Isn't that what makes a great girl product, pink?

I mean that is what all the videogames for women do... paint pink everywhere like it is going out of style.

It's mostly about seeming "girly", though, isn't it? Conditioning through education and all that.

By the way, I had a conversation about Soviet tanks and the AK47 with a couple of friends today. While my new Russian Jewish female flatmate was listening.
It goes both ways.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Oh, I heard about those a long time ago. The Internet Feminists had a conniption when that was released.

Makes sense, but the time we spent talking about it in class was pretty much just laughing at how terrible an idea it is.

I mean, I could see if it was some glittery pen aimed at young children, but this pen is aimed at adults; business women. The catalogs on Bic's site talk about how easy it is to use and how environmentally friendly the pens are.

We also talked about something called a phoneblok. A smart-phone you can put together yourself like Lego. I really want one now.

Wait, am I reading this wrong or are they just hoping that someone will make those phones without them? Seems a little too hopeful to me.

They are setting up a platform(the base) and Independent companies can make there own blocks. I assume they will have there own too.

This is kind of weird but I've got this earworm that's basically voice acting from Fable: The Lost Chapters and Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. You know, like a tune that's stuck in your head except in my case it's things like...

Quote from: The Guildmaster (Fable: The Lost Chapters)
Your health is low. Do you have any potions or food?

Quote from: Smiling Jack (Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines)
What? Oh, and you're a goddamn Malkavian too. Wow, you really are fucked!

Quote from: Smiling Jack (Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines)
There we go. Now take that keycard and head out the back. I'll meet you out in the alleyway. I'm gonna check out things from topside

Quote from: Trader (Fable: The Lost Chapters)
It'll be me old chum Ranger!

Quote from: Trader (Fable: The Lost Chapters)
Ah yes!

Over and over and over again. It's been like this for the past three weeks. I know it's not the schizoeffective because it's not like it's a voice telling me to not have faith in myself and instead jump into the deep end of the pool with my clothes on or some other thing I don't want to hear but have been since I was nine or ten years old. Then again that's around when the earworms started.

No offense, but it's probably the schizoeffective or a related condition, and you should probably talk to your relevant mental health professional about it.

It wouldn't be the first or the last time Steam has exploded. Just wait for Gaben to finish cleaning the Cheeto dust off the servers, it'll be fine.
