    LGBT in Video Games

    It can vary. For me, I use the Q for queer (which is how I identify). Others use it for "questioning." If you want to be more inclusive, the acronym can get a lot longer (LGBTQQIA immediately comes to mind, which includes both intersex and asexual). This is... so wrong. I'm sorry, I don't...

    This. Also this. I want to marry this part of your post so hard.

    LGBT in Video Games

    That implies that there is something wrong with those who consider themselves "flaming". After how many years of being constantly told that you are wrong, disgusting, sinful, and must hide away an aspect of yourself that you consider important, can you blame someone for wanting to dance it out...

    I am sorry for coming off as snarky (FWIW, I was meaning it in a more... humorous way? But I can definitely see how I wasn't clear on that). All I'm going to say is that I responded via PM to you, so check your messages.

    There's your problem.

    LGBT in Video Games

    The problem with not understanding those who identify as trans* or as being attracted to more than one gender is that it doesn't fit neatly into what one would consider "normal". In general, people tend to see the penis-goes-into-vagina part and not understand how the rest works. However, if you...

    LGBT in Video Games

    As a queer gamer, I consider myself a member of the LGBTQ community, although I consider aspects of it problematic (the dismissal of the unique problems felt by POC, those who identify as genderqueer or agender not being recognized, general disregard for those who do not see themselves as "gay"...

    Closest You've Come To Having A Literal "Eargasm"

    Goddamn I love me some Clapton. On topic, I highly agree with the Ennio Morricone that has been mentioned (it IS Ennio Morricone, after all). While I do not feel like "Unnatural Selection" is the best Muse song ever (and, believe you me, I am quite the Muse fangirl), I would vote for the...

    Cassette Tape Culture and Cassette Tapes Today

    I, sadly, am one of those who cannot tell the difference between mp3s, CDs, vinyls... It's all music to me, baby, and I'm sure (because I've been told so often) that I am missing something fundamental because of that. Don't own cassettes now because where would I play them? Same for vinyls. CDs...

    Ammo rationing at Wal-Mart as panic buying sweeps US

    I figured you meant 200. The Yawgoog website said somewhere in the realm of 1800 acres, but I reckon it's like Wehinahpay and that's all wilderness, while the actual camp is only around 200. Wehinahpay just has big, open spaces between everything.

    Ammo rationing at Wal-Mart as panic buying sweeps US

    Wehinahpay is 323 acres, located in the surprisingly scenic Lincoln National Forest. It's a small camp, but it's growing every year (and will continue to do so, as long as fires stay away). .22 ammo is outrageous right now. OUTRAGEOUS. And when you're buying it in the thousands, it gets...

    Ammo rationing at Wal-Mart as panic buying sweeps US

    Which is interesting that Philmont got so hot. No, the highest Wehinahpay gets, in the middle of July, is around 75. Plus it's at 8500 ft., plus it rains a bit every day. Yep, pretty much heaven on earth. Well, technically your council will do the ammo-purchasing, since BSA usually has things...

    Ammo rationing at Wal-Mart as panic buying sweeps US

    Wehinahpay. Most people think of Philmont when they think of the BSA in New Mexico, but I'm at Wehinahpay and find it superior *fnarr fnarr* Yeah, .22 ammo was hard as hell to find this year in the quantities we needed it. Yes, you can get a box or two of it at a hardware store, but 2000...

    Ammo rationing at Wal-Mart as panic buying sweeps US

    You know what I have personally experienced from this nonsense? I'm a rifle instructor at a Boy Scout camp every summer, and it's been felt there. Summer of '08, ammunition was plentiful and we got a great deal because we literally have to buy thousands of rounds for seven weeks of campers (yes...

    ITT you post the most obscure band you can think of and see if anyone recognizes it.

    Truthfully, and I may be OT here, but I don't know how anyone can listen to metal... It just hurts my head. And yes, I am apparently a 60 year old woman.
