Actually, it was a reference to a strip by Scott Adams, but y'know. But yeah, I'm checking out of this thread. It's blatantly obvious you think that you know everything there is to know on this subject (despite also clearly having not actually read any of the threads about it, "smear...

The term you're looking for is the illusion of asymmetric insight [http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/08/21/the-illusion-of-asymmetric-insight/]. The idea that nobody who disagrees with you could have as well-founded of reasoning as you do. The thing is, asymmetric insight is a heuristic, it's...

The "zoepost" wasn't gamergate. It was before gamergate. That's like saying that a log is a fire because it's what was used to start the fire. The zoepost was a bitter ex-boyfriend warning people away from his ex-girlfriend. People got pissed off because of who she slept with, not because she...

My weight. I've nearly always been pretty severely underweight (I was a fat baby, fat little kid, then when I started growing, it was only upward and not outward). Throughout highschool I was around 5'11" and 115, I put on twenty pounds at college and I've dropped 25 since then. People always...

What misogynistic roots? You mean calling a journalist out on giving positive press to a woman who slept with him? It was the woman and the journalist in question who shifted the focus onto her. The issue gamergate had was always with him. That'd be because it isn't actually a dichotomy...

Isn't it his business? He can run it however he pleases. If he wants to drive away potential customers... That's his problem. He owns the damn place, doesn't he?

Neither. Use IE.

...Who bothers advertising for a 41 year old novel? It's just a book recommendation based off of the topic at hand. I'd second the recommendation. Niven touches on the topic from a pretty interesting perspective. A bit of a silly one when you think sit back and think on it. But certainly an...

I routinely score in the upper 5000s on BC2 on the 360, but I've never been accused of cheating, so I think you just got hit by some guy who's really bitter. My friend told me a story once of how he got banned from a TF2 server after he (as the sniper) accidentally headshotted two spies that...

Bro. You're missing the point. Origin installs spyware on your computer. There's no sugarcoating that or "other places do similar shit" about it. Nothing else has this level of access to your info, and with damn good reason.

Where's that one comic strip? The one that says "if I'm going to be staring at the same ass all day, I'd rather it be a hot ass". Because that's why I play as chicks in video games. I don't like men, I like women. If a game is third person, I'm going to be playing as a woman.

I'm a spartan with an energy sword and gravity hammer. Both of which have infinite ammo. Fuck. Yes.

Neopets introduced me to Flash content on the internet. I remember when they released that "Invasion of Meridell" game or whatever it was called. That was my first experience with strategy gameplay. My mother literally had to pull me off of the computer. As in, pry my fingers off of the desk...

I met a guy once who does the following: He always plays Halo in big team with his friends, and occasionally they'll hit upon a small group of people that quit at once. This leads to that inevitable situation of a team gradually quitting until there's one lone man willing to continue the...

"Goddammit, stop spamming the mic with your shitty music." (Or its cousin: "Goddammit, stop singing along to an otherwise great song, you can't sing for shit.") It's only annoying when I'm not the one doing it. When I'm doing it, I'm just enjoying my music, and you have bad taste. I don't...
