It comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what a trans-person is here. Blame it on people here not really being that well-educated. That said, I heard that the reason they had to do a "Girls Only" tournament is that LoL is apparently really popular with girls (and I do see that: I'd say...

He was actually in the country a few weeks ago, and did in fact have a conference with them. They just didn't listen. And living hear, you become desensitized to just how bad the clergy is here: they've been known to not only protect and cover up priests who've committed rape, they also threaten...

Blame it on Filipinos not being very enlightened. There's still a lot of misconceptions about how non-straight, non-cis people work, something that isn't helped by the fact that Filipinos are very much under the control of the Catholic Church (or rather, the Catholic Bishop's Conference of the...

It's fairly clean. Not "pass a drill instructor's scrutiny" clean, but "single guy living alone for the first time" clean.

Not really fought, but more "they did something that pissed me off so much that I have since broken contact and never spoke to them ever again, breaking my rule about always giving a second chance because seriously we've known each other since high school and I expected better from them."

On behalf of the people in this country, I apologize and am ready to accept your scorn. We are all assholes. Seriously though, speaking from experience, Filipino LoL players are the worst. Far as I can tell, they're the only people in the world who will taunt you for having the money to buy...

This is like an absurdist parody of Feed Dump.

In the years before I ended up taking Education, I was commuting to university and as I was getting on the jeep (basically, a smaller bus built on the chassis of older American military jeeps), I stepped in a pothole and twisted my ankle. I knew the moment I got back up that something was wrong...

Patton Oswalt has a bit about a rat that he saw, and how that rat must've been summoned by a forgotten Sumerian trickster god. I would like to top that forgotten Sumerian trickster god. I'd just go nuts making everyone have WTF moments

I don't, because Tagalog is a stupid language and English is a lot more expedient. Traditionalists talk about how "poetic" and "beautiful" the language is, but when your word for "fluttering" ("kumukutikutitap") is a tongue twister in and of itself, it should probably be a clue as to why people...

Personal favorite is "Beneath the Black Flag", because I can actually imagine it as a pirate sea shanty being sung by a drunken lot in a seedy bar.

- Learn to play the violin - Give a lecture that changes someone's life - Get over fear of clowns - Get an article printed in a magazine - Chop wood with an axe - Build a house - Get into a real drag-down, knock-out brawl - Go on a month-long road trip - Write a book - Spend one day...

I'd turn my office into one of those serial killer-y rooms with the notes and scribbles all over the walls because I'd be going mad trying to figure out how Yahtzee is connected.

...I wish this was Facebook so I could like this post a million times. Bravo sir, just bravo.

Honestly, I do still think Kuvira has a point. Yes, she's power-hungry and herding dissenters into concentration camps (not unlike a certain Ioseb Jugashvili), but does that make her worse than the Earth Queen? While they both toss dissenters into prison, at the very least Kuvira isn't...
