I think Queen Bitch is a much more appropriate term here.

When Professor Dorothy Bishop raised concerns, Professor Greenfield responded: “it’s not really for Dorothy to comment on how I run my career”.

It certainly looks like that she is saying these things to pander to a a certain group of people which she believes will further her career. It is not certain that this is the case, but I'd bet on it.

I cried when I watched this video.

I've spoken about something extremely similar with the psychologist I have been seeing. From what I remember what the psychologist said was "Apart from scaring the living shit out of you, I can't see the purpose of him doing that to you" and he said that I have never experienced any love in my life. This sort of corporal punishment is shown to be really bad for a persons development. Please see the video entitled "Dr Drew livid over videotaped whipping" in this link.

Personally it has manifested in my life by the fact that neither me or my brother have never had a girlfriend and we are now in our late twenties, that I have tried to kill myself with bad results to my body (some loss of sexual function for one, although the psychologist thinks it is psychological), and that me and my brother are fairly socially outcast. Though perhaps there was a lot of plain bad luck, I believe we wouldn't be as broken as we are if our environment had been better. I've had a psychiatrist that I was seeing say "You could shoot the bastard, but it won't do you any good.", this was just after a couple of questions, I hadn't even told him about my life, just that I have had thoughts of revenge.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more beatings and that she was locked in an almost empty room for weeks, apart from school and living necessities. From what I have seen, it looks like this guy is worse than my father. Part of me likes the idea of his balls being sawn off*.

* Although if that happened I actually don't believe I would take any satisfaction out of it, I just find this whole thing horrible.

The amount of passion that such an unimportant thing to others not directly involved with RMS talks is just amazing. The old phrase "making a mountain out of a molehill" is completely apt here.

It would be nice if the parent post was visible. The only thing that I could think of that would increase the attack surface is that it will be implemented as an extension. This really shouldn't be a problem as Mozilla will surely look this over very carefully.

Of course, there are people — like me — who would never spend money on one of those games. That’s actually ninety-five-ish percent of the people.

And then there are the people — statistics show they are middle-aged women — who will gladly spend upward of $10,000 on one game in less than a year.

So TFA is quite accurate here, according to your experience.
