FIRST DATE IDEA: Go on about how women don’t have souls, but neglect to mention that you don’t believe in souls period.
Alternatively, women are the damned creations of a twisted heathen god.
As are men, and indeed all living things.
Born from the fire of the wicked lands, she is Woman, terrible and cruel, violent and tribal, a maelstrom of hatred and injustice.*

come to think of it why don’t Australians call software developers softies
maybe all Australian software developers are totally ripped from a regular routine of surfing and fighting kangaroos to the death
i’m told this is the normal daily routine in Australia
The internet has truly led to a Golden Age of jokes that are just rewrites of actually funny jokes with three words changed so that now they’re about politics and suck ass
you know who else sucks ass? Mitch McConnell
you know how Trump gets ass? Mitch McConnell
you know who photographs Trump’s ass? Mitch McConnell
wait guys we have to stop, I can suddenly hear Gaston music and it’s getting louder
i’ll leave this here without any context

(the task at hand is software design, I assume)
The task at hand is always software design, for a sufficiently abstract understanding of the term “software design”.
“not being white does not mean you are of color”, while a perfectly reasonable statement in the right context, suggests a categorisation scheme of:
- white (or “people who think they are white”, Ta-Nehisi Coates)
- people of color
- just folks
Whiteness/Colorness is defined by oppressiveness. Therefore, Yamato in Japan and Han in China are not People of Color.

Polygon’s Ben Kuchera on why he has no friends.
In today’s episode of “I Don’t Understand Incentives”, guest star Ben Kuchera reveals why everyone not in his movement should work to destroy its political power…
So, to return to Jeb Bush:
BUSH: I would have, and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody, and so would have almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got.
That’s a justification. It’s just one that turned out to be wrong.
Alrighty, we’ve established that Jeb Bush thinks Iraq was justified.
Clearly the whole thing was a massive case of motivated cognition:
Step 1: We want to invade Iraq.
Step 2: Cook up an excuse to do this.
Step 3: Convince enough people it’s not bullshit.
Step 4: Quagmire.
And of course the real question for elected officials is not just Iraq: yes or no, but why Iraq at all? Why not Saudi Arabia? and so on.
But I’m just feeling slightly ancient in that this Iraq question was the defining issue of the early blogosphere, circa 2003-2005.
It split the tech community into two camps, the pro-War bloggers (also known as the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, or chickenhawks) and the anti-War bloggers (also known as the Decadent Left Fifth Column, or pro-Saddam stalinists).
It was a deeply stupid time.
Understanding the depths of the stupidity may help those who were not there avoid such stupidity themselves, when they face the next great challenge.
I’m younger than you, and I was too young to understand how strange it should have seemed to me at the time.
But I have not forgotten.
Fortunately, I already understood what a mistake it was by the time I was able to vote.
This just in: Women who wear tank tops and have short hair are all lesbians.
Wearing clothes is gay.
isn’t this the same website that keeps insisting that that Cora woman from Mass Effect: Andromeda is “lesbian coded”?
you people keep insisting women with short hair are lesbians but get pissed off when idiot men say the same thing?
a little bit of consistency would be nice!
how much of a fucking killjoy do you have to be to think the one on the right is better than the one on the left
The amount of clothing and its coverage isn’t the issue with the image on the right - the clothing isn’t interesting (even though a tank top is practical, so it depends on the context the character appears in), but what I’m really seeing here is a failure to make the most of that prosthetic arm. It looks like it’s trying to be elegant… but it isn’t. Maybe work in some sort of gold lace and drop the color to reflective black, *or* make it look a bit more industrial and reconfigure those glow lines - because glow lines are not necessary, meaning they’re aesthetic, so they should be arranged more aesthetically than this. There’s a lot of potential for a prosthetic arm, actualize it.
