So they can make that, but they can't make a makeup room that provides mirrors, sinks and counter space in order to reduce the insane lines for the women's bathroom?

That's just a bit silly, if you ask me.

[scourge728]

They also can't lower the stall walls so that people can't see you when you use them..... or have the bathrooms kept clean

I’m watching the Bethesda E3 show and  blatant fake enthusiasm from the front row full of shills is a combination of off putting and hilarious

"Gamers rise up" - Microsoft trying to use a meme they really, really shouldn't be associating with

I like how in that "we are all bethesda" thing they put all the 'minorities' (female or black) in the front, but 99% of the rest is white and male. Yeah, I get why they'd do that as a diversity nod ... except, it does come across as fake diversity. That's nowhere near proportional no matter how close to the camera you place the black people.

Khajiit has diversity, if you have coin...

[Greiger]

Pfft diversity, I'll say tamriel has diversity when I can play as a senche-raht in a dovakin hat mauling nazeem for spouting nonsense about the cloud district for the 10th time.

^{_{Dammit Nazeem shut up about the cloud district, there's literally only 3 things I do in this town, go to the blacksmith, go to the werewolf house, and go to the goddamn cloud district to pick up my personal bodyguard. And every goddamn time you give me your cloud district line.  I bet you wish YOU had a personal bodyguard right now maybe they could stop you from running into my sword over and over!
Oh no worries guards, Khajiit is innocent of this crime!   Er I mean I'm thane!  Thane here, I have immunity!}}

I'm watching Terry Crews play Dungeons and Dragons, with Matt Mercer DMing.   

Edit: oh gosh, and apparently there's going to be PvP, with another party after the same objective? Dang, this is exciting stuff.

I saw that some weeks ago, it was pretty good!

Spoiler: actual spoilers for the episode, if you want to see it, which I think you should (click to show/hide)

Especially the part where Terry Crews tries to be reasonable and the other party just go "no stuff your cooperation up your butt" and attacks, then gets the shit kicked out of them, the the arrogant Alliance arseholes they are

I just realised that my day off last weekend was actually NOT a day off.

It also appears as if absolutely nobody realised I wasn't there.

The hell?

Congratulations. I recommend showing up 2 hours/day from now on, but not at the same time every day. Carry something work-related with you to appear busy.

Salad frosting is an actual product (being repackaged ranch dressing), promoted with the hashtag #LieLikeAParent and the rationale that "kids will eat anything with frosting, right?"

"Your children are gullible morons" seems like the kind of pitch likely to land the parents in a free-range unsupervised retirement home, but whatever.

[Mephisto]

You're giving your kids Kraft Ranch. It's probably so packed with sugar and weird shit that you may be better off with a homemade buttercream frosting instead of ranch frosting on your salad.

There was a controversy some time back, about trans-women being better at sports than cis-women, because of their testosterone level.
Why don't they just group the sports by testosterone level then, instead of by gender?

Or just have everyone compete together?

Although I'm not sure my opinion on that is going to get much credence when I also suggest making doping forbidden, but any other weird improvements allowed as long as it is part of you. New cyborg legs? Cool, let me get in on that.

The short answer is "because people want sports to follow a narrative." They want the winners to have "wanted it more" so it's inspirational and they can slap their likeness on breakfast cereals and athletic shoe commercials with vomitous cliches about leadership and discipline and the usual bullshit.
