    I had replied to comment that someone had linked to it on Reddit, but Im on a work PC and reddit is blocked. Thank god they leave /. open.

    What I find really funny is that I'm pretty hardcore anti-SJW (with the recent GamerGate happenings) even though I would have been considered one until recently. I did work with the GSA when time would permit (new job doesn't allow me to), and I had started two GSA chapters at my old HS, and was active at the one at my community college. Of course, when a group of people start calling you a "Cisgender, heteronormative, misogynistic white man of privilege" for no reason other than who you associate with, you start to get a bad taste in your mouth.

    Ill post the study when I can find it, it was quite the interesting read. I had no idea it was a problem.

    Im going to reply to you again, but man, I wish I could find the study that shows that queer women in particular are actually more likely to be the victims of rape by another queer women (stat was something like 1 in 3, vs. 1 in 5 for male raping females)

    Really? And that must be why there are more battered husbands shelters than battered wives shelters ... oh wait ...

    Yeah, because when a woman beats a man, the guy gets told to "Man the fuck up." I had an run with a physically abusive woman. The one time she called the cops on me for "beating her up" (read: restraining her from harming me any further), the cops showed up, saw she didn't have a single mark on her and I was covered in blood. They STILL treated me like I was the abuser in the situation when they showed up.

    Yeah. Sometimes that "Wrong" means the car is running rich due to bad sensors. Kinda like how mine smells right now. I have to get a replacement O2 sensor to fix it from running that rich right now.

    Apparently its legal to have Nitrous in your car in California... as long as it is properly strapped down and not connected while driving. What would happen if some street racer with a Nitrous bottle in the trunk (not visible) had a pressure cooker on the back seat?

    You know, if they made a 4G LTE Sidekick, I'd buy it in a heart beat. I miss my old Sidekick from the day of feature phones and crappy 3G service.

    Or I'd settle for a regular high end smart phone with a god damn keyboard. I love swype but I really preferred typing on a slide out keyboard... and not one that felt odd by only having a protruding end on one side (HTC G1).

    Because it looks cool when shit blows up, and I don't just beat up the hookers. Anyone who is out there really. I have to level up my strength stat somehow.

    On a more serious note, its just a way to have dumb fun. Sometimes that's what someone wants. I go to school for 12 credits a semester while working a 40+ hour/week job working Hell Desk. Most of the people I play GTAV with are also full time students with jobs. We just want to unwind and enjoy something less mature than we have to be all day long. I know that we don't represent everyone, but I just wanted to provide a contrast to this.

    I cant remember what Feminist group is saying something about the Selective Service, but they two major points:

    1) The Selective Service should be abolished. There is no reason to have a draft pool anymore.

    2) If the Selective Service is to stay, then women should be included in it.

    It was a rather large Feminist group, but since Im at work, I cant exactly look up who they are.

    Check out the Logitech Harmony series of remote controls. They are pretty sweet. Some even let you set up profiles on your smart phone and just one click to do anything. I have one of the cheaper ones myself because its the only remote compatible with some media player I own. Pretty nice to hit "Watch Media" and it turns on the TV, turns on the stereo tuner and sets it to the right selection, then flips the TV to HDMI 2.
