I once dated a guy who had a real problem with the fact that I was better at an RPG than he was. He was totally fine with me being better at math, and writing, and anything else academic, but I swear to God he had somehow convinced himself that he was using actual muscles to beat the dragon, and not just strategic/tactical choices that didn't even require dexterity or speed. If I could slay the dragon without his help, was he even really a man anymore?

In Hispanic American cultures, there is an interesting phenomenon where computers are considered "woman's work." Real men don't use technology, according to them, because it's easier than real work, and I think they may be onto something when it comes to the men knowing what will and will not satisfy their urges.

Very strange - not really surprising lol

I came back in here to post this. I saw a report about GG today and it included a picture of a Twitterfeed set up to debase Brianna Wu (called Death to Brianna).

Wtf goes on the mind of this person?

At least he was coming to her house, that way she could chastise him.

This has been circulating a bit. I dunno anything about any of this, but thought I'd share for Dana's sake. Go get 'em!

OH and Ben is Richard's son... of course.

Oh hell that's unpleasant. Just not helpful. There's lots of unpleasantness on all sides at the moment.

Thanks for posting Classic, I hadn't seen that one.
