I love both weather in descs and emits. Maybe I'm weird.

I admit to both loving him in DD S2 but not being super interested in his own solo series.

If you wrote new attributes to overwrite the ones on the room parent that set the formatting you could certainly change it if you didn't have the power to change the parent, but the cleanest way is definitely to do a new parent.

GOOD STUFF GOOD STUFF

@Arkandel Friday's the best! We're getting margaritas after work!

Anyone know what happened with it? I really like it as a resource, but it seems like it's been abandoned. Last game added was over 200 days ago and it looks like it's just the automated stuff still running.

As for #notallmen, that came out after Elliot Rodger killed many people in Isla Vista, since #yesallmen was a hashtag that a subset of social media feminists used to say all men are responsible for his actions, et cetera.

That is incorrect for both of those hashtags.

Really? Hm.

I'm confused. Those don't support what you were saying? #NotAllMen existed for years before the shooting, but had a resurgence in popularity because of the cultural reaction to people trying to talk about the depth of misogyny in the shooter's attacks. Which was followed by #YesAllWomen to talk about how all women have faced sexism and/or harassment, which was followed by #YesAllMen. You claimed that women started #YesAllMen to blame all men for the shooting, yet the page you just linked says the tag is about what men can do to combat sexism and misogyny.

Saying it is dismissive, hurtful, or anything where you assign a motive, without asking the intent? That is bullshit. You don't get to say what someone else feels. And doing so is distracting. Derailing. Not helpful.

What? saying something is dismissive and hurtful is perfectly within the purview of this sort of conversation. Intent doesn't preclude dismissiveness or hurtfulness. What are you even talking about? Since when are intent and result inexorably matched? I call bullshit. Plenty of things are intended in ways that do not actually match said intention, and being called on it is pretty much the only way that perception can be changed so that those things can be viewd in the light of the results they attain rather than their intent.

Seriously, what?

Agree whole-heartedly. It's in fact important to tell people when their response is being dismissive or hurtful especially if that's not their intent. Saying that "you don't get to say what someone else feels" is in fact relevant for the opposite of what you're saying: you don't get to say what someone else feels, so you can't tell people not to feel dismissed or hurt by someone else's words. Saying that someone's words are dismissive or hurtful isn't ascribing a motive to them, because people can be dismissive and/or hurtful all the time by accident.

What would be assigning a motive would be to say "you're dismissing me because you're a sexist asshole and want to silence women."

@Misadventure I'm not on anything. I just started getting sick last night and then proceeded to be unable to sleep well the whole night, which is all you really want to be able to do when you're sick.

When you're really terribly sick and yet one of the side effects is being unable to sleep.

Yeah, I'm not seeing where the issue lies, either. Strange is on a totally different battleground, as it were. I don't see why Strange is different than any other major hero they'll be introducing. I mean, they're doing an origin story.

.org is for an organization (Possibly non profit, not sure on that)

That's correct, it's generally for use by non-profits.

I'm glad he's doing it with an accent, at least. They were weirdly cagey about whether he'd be playing it American.

Imagine a team throwing a veto the day AFTER launch.

I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE THAT

Getting a ton of major change requests on a website redesign at the very last stage of a website launch. You know, just suddenly asking for major structural or design changes for pages whose design and layout were already approved weeks ago.

I MISSED YOU, MSB.

Great job being disgusting.

@Arkandel Honestly, just accept the possibility that maybe there's been stuff that's happened that you haven't noticed -- maybe not the most egregious stuff, as you've said, but stuff -- and just say "Okay, I'll try to keep these possibilities in mind in case there's stuff maybe I haven't noticed." @Coin is right: these articles are already telling you what experiences people are having. I get the sense that it's really frustrating for you to hear about really shitty things and feel like you're not in a position to intervene because you haven't seen them, so you're asking for more and more information because you want to help. Women do need more instances of men going "Holy shit, that's really shitty that that happened to you" and overall believing and supporting them in their experiences, because the more everyone hears that, the less people -- maybe not the ones you game with, who may already be awesome and not pull this shit, but spreading past that -- will realize that their support throughout the community to treat people like this is crumbling. Because too many women have experiences saying "This shitty thing happened to me" and having the response from men being "Are you sure?" or "I don't really believe you" or "You're probably exaggerating." When that brand of response is so common, just having someone say "Wow that's really fucking shitty," which may sound like the totally normal and decent thing to you so maybe you can't imagine how people can do otherwise because you yourself are not a terrible person, somehow becomes kind of amazing.

@Derp Witness testimony is, in fact, evidence in a trial. And multiple witnesses all corroborating the same story is pretty strong evidence.

Are you saying that if a woman you were personally close to came to you and said, "I've gotten groped and harassed at multiple geek gatherings," your response would be, "Okay, prove it?" This isn't a freaking legal trial. If people were being charged with crimes, then yeah, let the court and its requirements for proving beyond a reasonable doubt rule. Do guys just think there's a massive conspiracy women are running to -- what, even? Take away the boobs in their video games? Just have guys notice when someone in their vicinity is being harassed and support her in shutting it down? Just being more aware to the experience of people outside themselves?

No, I don't have evidence of every instance of my daily life. I haven't happened to be recording my whole day to catch the times I've been sexually harassed.

If something shitty happened to you on a regular basis, and happened to the majority of your friends, and you all spoke up to say, "This shitty thing keeps happening," wouldn't you feel fucking shitty to get laughed at and said, "Okay, I know a huge group of you is saying this, but prove it?"

Yeah, it is fucking shitty.
