Comment Re:Free speech and trigger warnings, take a pick (Score 1) 114

An interesting thing that happens to be topical right now.

On one side you have people saying that we shouldn't require a referendum to allow equal rights to marry regardless of gender. On the other side you have the fact that you don't want a precedent set whereby they change the constitution without a referendum.

I'll be voting yes, but I (and so many others) with it weren't necessary. I suppose we wish it were never there in the first place. If the referendum fails, it will be deeply shaming for our nation as a whole.

What I feel is horrifying, is that the poster felt that the level of respect she received should be on the condition that she dresses a certain way. Like someone else said, if she wore "slutty" clothes, would it be okay to respect her less?

What we need to revive are the phrases "Well-groomed", "well-shod" and "well-kept". To signify that you are dressed appropriately for what you are doing. Or at the very least, you are hygienic. I used to have long hair and beard. It was forever flaky and greasy. After numerous attempts to wear the look cleanly, I gave up and now I have very short beard/clean shaven and short hair.

Comment Re:Advert for Razer? (Score 1) 199

Their Nostromo is super sweet though. I got one of them at the height of my WoW playing, and it's taken an awful hammering the last few years. I can't imagine oing back to playing games with a keyboard. My mouse, however, is Steelseries, I find the Razer ones too small and light for my hands. I find that making slight movements (lighting up a headshot with a sniper rifle, for example) is a lot harder with a feather-light mouse.

I've always wondered about 'strong language' in movies or every day use, and why you have to shelter children from it. Either the know what the word means, thus sheltering it from them is useless, or they don't know what it means, and it's not a problem. I know many many bad words, but I just don't use them because of my personality.
