... if you think I changed definitions mid-stream, that's projection on your part, no error on mine.

Again, why are you conflating the cause or reason with the behavior differences? When identifying sexism, racism, and all the other *isms don't care about why the difference in standards and treatment is happening, you simply identify the difference. And then later you go in and say "okay, why...

... please, tell me more about how butch men beating up girly men, because they're girly and not butch, doesn't perpetuate sexist power structures. I'm deeply interested in your thoughts.

I'm pretty sure most arm themselves.

Then we tell him he doesn't full understand the word he's using. Whether something is "sexist" or not says nothing about it's origins (cultural or biological) or morality (for good or ill). It simply speaks to treating things differently based on perceived sex and gender. So even if you can...

As long as we're dishing out "evidence", I'd like to remind the audience that men are most likely to be assaulted/abused/killed by strange men. Women are most likely to be assaulted/abused/killed by known men. But quite simply, the "problem" is that there are two competing reproduction...

Not just women, actually. Yeah, they get a lot more dramatic about it, but as men get older they're more likely to have genetic variance/drift/mutation/whatever in their sperm. IIRC, 35 is the turning point. Men coneiving later in life increases the risk for all sorts of fun things. That...

... so I just saved over a hundred dollars on car/bike insurance by telling my insurer that I got married. Why did no one tell me this was a thing?

I'll stop caring what other people think when it's safe to do so. Apathy is a luxury.

The only time anyone has thought I was gay before I told them was when I was at a pride event. Don't really care one way or another about that. What I find quite aggravating is the straight guys who say "wow, I never would have thought you were gay" as if it's some kind of compliment.

Historical examples? Are we counting self-defense or soldiers defending their homes? Or is that too pedestrian and not nearly grand enough? Well, along the "grand" line of thinking, if I remember my Egyptian history correctly the reason their pantheon is so fracked up is that it's actually a...

Based on past performance, wines are not expected to meet my threshold requirements, nevertheless my objectives. Add in that the analysis-of-alternatives necessary prior to acquisition is often made moot by the selection committee (aka, liquor store), and the expected value of the proposal was...

Why do you associate the name "ginger" with angry horses?

You know, I'm really getting the feeling that the message from some of you guys is "drink PBR, it's on your level".

Bloody Caesars? That sounds interesting, let me look that... what. "Clamato"? What is this crazy Canadian [censored]? Pull the other one, it's got bells. I'd have to get an ice tray, some new plastic something or other to put in the freezer to hold the ice, all for a few mixed drinks, and...

Halloween? Is that still a thing? The churches in this town have effectively killed it. Ratcheting up the fear about "predators" and "thugs" and such. I mean, hello people, that's why you have an ADULT go along WITH the kids. You really think something is going to happen to your kid with...

I agree, I think that was Bishop. Was that also a Blink I spied? And frankly, I'm not terribly worried about "linking" the Last Stand to First Class to anything. Marvel has always had fun with their alternate universes and that explains so many inconsistencies between the movies quite easily...

Oh! I think I have one of those in the back of my silverware drawer. I have never used it. I just cart it from house to house, wash it when I first move in and put in the silverware drawer, where it gathers dust and regrets. The butterknives I use when I'm not using daggers are...

I dunno, if your sandwich terminology is full of little things I could sprinkle into my daily lingo to confuse and baffle my co-workers, it might be pretty fun.

So I've been enjoying my Midori sours† recently. They're quick and easy to make, and the sugary/fruity flavors hide the buzz-kill of the burning alcohol nicely. So it's a nice quick drink while I'm gaming on the weekend. But I also like variety. Anyone have ideas for what else I could try‡...
