    Check Your Privilege!

    Well, I have had random-ass, badly thought out "quizzes" not apply to me because I'm not american, so... But seriously. Many of the money questions aren't an issue where I live, because we have healthcare. Also we don't have tuition for college (well, as good as none, anyway). Same goes for...

    About 25% of Americans Don't Know the Earth Revolves Around the Sun

    "studies" like this piss me off, seriously. Like, I get that it's fun to make jokes about "ignorant" America, but if the survey you made is itself stupid and unscientific, the joke's really on you. Taking a sample size like that and then talking about the entire US population is a joke...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    I believe it has already been pointed out, but an apostrophy is the worst idea you could have had. Many, many official systems don't do them, but she will have to give her correct name, or they won't accept it. What does she do in the car registry? Or on her passport? I know you are probably...

    Food you refuse to eat

    Soy milk. It is pure, liquid hatred. Apart from that, I'll eat everything. Of course there are other things I would prefer not to eat, brussel sprouts come to mind, but I won't refuse anything given to me. Except soy milk. That abomination was just invented to torment people. There are...

    League of Legends player posts revenge porn of girlfriend because she used an overpowered character

    That conversation... That is actual, real psychological horror. I have never met, or even directly heard, a true sociopath before, but I believe he qualifies. And no, sociopaths are not always charming, that's a stereotype. I know I should consider watching almost half of the entire thing a...

    Angry mom sends letter to family of autistic child telling them to have him euthanized.

    I'd hate to see what that woman would do if one of her own children had an accident and became disabled...

    Random BS people say that you get fed up with.

    People who use the "It's just a word" excuse to use offensive language. White dude: "Oh, but the n-word is just offensive if I mean offense..." It makes me tilt. Why on earth do you want to use words like that!? Guess what else is just a word? Cephalothorax. It just means what we assign...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Game of Thronescast, S3E3 and E4

    Thats a good theory I think. But I don't quite know what having Sansa would do for Littlefinger. Ostensibly, it could give him power over the Starks, but that did not work for Jeoffry, as Robb still went to war with him regardless. As long as Sansa remains in the capital she is a hostage of the...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Game of Thronescast, S3E3 and E4

    As someone who has not read the books, I also thought that Margery is not a good person. Not because of her crossbow scene with Jeoffry, that was a pretty obvious manipulation, but because of the fact that I only ever saw her once (the "I want to be the queen" scene) where I thought she was...

    Is 'The C Word' Sexist?

    To me it is one of the strongest insults in the book. I don't even know why, I guess I've just been socialized that way. So if I am so angry that I would use it on someone, I would not care about whether or not I am insulting their gender. It is not a nice word, it is not supposed to be...

    Movie Trailers: Star Trek: Into Darkness - Announcement Trailer

    So, its about revenge... again. Revenge for what? I don't know about you, but just some guy (no matter how hot his voice may be) wanting revenge for some undisclosed reason does not make me care. Is revenge now some sort of codeword in Star Trek that is supposed to just automatically make me...

    The Angels Take Manhattan

    Ah yes, the plotholes... I know this is a show where we are supposed to ignore them, but it is also a show targeted primarily at children and nerds. Nerds who will notice and be bothered by everything you get wrong. The thing is, we do actually have a tolerance for this kind of thing, because...

    Miracle of Sound: Calamity (Bastion)

    wow, this is just great! I know you probably get told this a lot, but you are awesome! Your music is beautiful and my week is always always made better by it. Thank you!

    The New Shiny Escapist

    ok, came back to have a look, of course nothing has changed. You know, when Susan Arent came out and said "boohoo, your all mean, we´re just people, give us a chance" and so on, I actually felt a little bit bad about ranting so much. I really thought that maybe they meant to listen. I...

    The New Shiny Escapist

    wow, this is bad. I´m sorry, but its just really terrible. The new look is really an eyesore, and the site is slow as all hell now. But everyone is saying that now, aren´t they? Yes, we will probably get used to it.
