Another example: two people kissing on-screen won't get flagged by censors...unless the people kissing are the same sex, same gender, or one of them is trans. Cisgender and heteronormative content gets a pass where others do not.

Hear here, @Umbran. And this is deeply messed-up. Question for those who know a lot more about this stuff than I do: what recourse does the average LGBTQIA+ ally (me) have in this situation? Does anyone have any ways to push back? I play a lot of games that are tagged as "NSFW" and/or...

To be fair, I don't eat a lot of fast-food burgers. Maybe once every 2-3 years? We're spoiled for choice here in Portland, with all the food carts on every corner. Fast food here is on a whole other level.

I ate at an In-N-Out years ago, in the 1980s. We were on a family vacation, I was a teenager, and we had ended up somewhere in southern California. Anyway, I had never heard of them before, so I went in with zero expectations. And I remember the food was rather ordinary. It wasn't bad, it...

I'm not sure if everyone else is like this, but I've noticed something about myself. The more hype I hear from my friends and neighbors about something, the more likely I am to try it--but only to a point. Past a certain point, I mentally check out and all the positive mentions in all the...

RIGHT?!

Today I learned that the A-TEAM was a real thing that actually existed (briefly) in 1964. It was an acronym for Athletes in Temporary Employment as Agricultural Manpower...

Both of these statements are true for me. The most heartbreaking thing about OSR, for me, is how it has been co-opted and twisted by a vocal minority. Old School Renaissance. That name used to conjure up memories of playing the Red Box Rules with my middle-school friends, good times on The...

If you're referring to the debunked story of Catherine O'Leary? No, it's worse than that. The next time you're looking for a rabbit-hole to fall down into, go to Wikipedia and dig around for the history of anti-Irish sentiment in America.

I remember a joke about a halfling wizard who escaped from prison. A small medium at large, if you will.

I was hungry before, but now I'm starving.

You're not missing anything. It's just there is a long history of anti-Irish sentiment in certain places in America, that's all. (This is all I'm going to say about it, I won't derail this thread with politics.) The way I heard it explained to me, the name O'Brien is apparently too polarizing...

Well...one of them you can pick up and dip in ketchup, the other requires a fork. But that's the only difference AFAICT.

Oh dang. I can't remember the last time I saw that on a menu. (I know what I'm making for breakfast this weekend...) To answer your question: I'm really not sure. From what I can tell, 'hash' is a catch-all term for a potato stir-fry in my hometown (we would call that a "southwest hash" and...

Well, first you would have to settle the age-old debate about what IS and IS NOT a "hash brown." For example, these are hash browns: And these are haystacks: And these are lies created by the McDonald's Corporation, about as authentic as a Starbucks "macchiato."

They'd be served with scrambled eggs and bacon in my house. Maybe most folks grew up eating them fried in bacon drippings (delicious), but in my house they were deep-fried in peanut oil.
