Evolution is wrong because Darwin beat his wife. |

Right, it is just not necessary, it breaks immersion and it is lazy. If they are going to go the centuries out of date references route, at least add a few fake ones from the 2050s or something rather than all of them being right in the audience sweet spot for maximum narrative laziness. |

It would also be more entertaining if Seth MacFarlane's character died and they stopped trying to add 20th/21st century pop culture references and Family Guy-style humor. |

I do not know, I do not care and it does not matter in the context of my question. People should be allowed to protest regardless of whether you or I disagree with the stated aims. He should still be punished for shirking his responsibility to referee, but it is inappropriate for them to extend the punishment for political reasons. That is all I was trying to figure out. |
Topic | This Conservative is SUSPENDED for a YEAR cause he BOLTED when someone KNEELED! |
LtCommanderData 10/22/17 4:25:58 AM #2 | Is that the typical suspension for a referee leaving a mid game or are they punishing him for his own form of protest? |
Topic | These 3 CONSERVATIVE Girls are fighting for MEN'S RIGHTS..by STRIPPING!!! |
LtCommanderData 10/19/17 2:01:53 AM #45 | adjl posted... But it's not an attack on masculinity as a whole. Adjectives narrow concepts down to be more specific. Talking about "red apples" narrows down the subject/object to "apples that are red," not "all apples are red. Similarly, "toxic masculinity" narrows down the subject to the elements of masculinity that are toxic, and does not mean "all masculinity is toxic." The latter interpretation can only be generated with fairly specific context. But, when a concept represents a subset of a larger whole an adjective can inform the entire subset. e.g. "despite their impressive stature, the Gauls were no match for the stout Romans". In this case the adjective, stout, does not describe all members of the superset, people, but does describe a quality of the average Roman projected on to that group as a whole. You are correct though in that requires context, but that is kind of my point. There is no reason to even allow for the negative, erroneous definition unless the negative reaction is by design. |

LtCommanderData 10/18/17 4:21:09 PM #42 | dainkinkaide posted... Then maybe native English speakers should fucking learn what words mean. "Masculinity" doesn't mean "the state of being male"; it means "manliness", i.e. a cultural ideal of what a man "should" be or strive towards. This is pretty basic semantics. Yeah that is not accurate. Masculinity covers the societal as well as biologically-driven behavioral aspects attributed to being male. An attack on masculinity as a whole is necessarily an attack on maleness as a whole as some of these behaviors are biologically driven and not all of them are harmful. I know that is not what people mean when they say toxic masculinity, but it absolutely can correctly be interpreted that way if the term is presented with no associated definition. So again I am back to the concept is sound the name is terrible. I am trying to think of ways that it could be improved. For starters it does not have to be so terse. Referring to it with something as simple as "the toxic aspects of masculinity" would be a huge improvement even if it is not perfect. Anything really to emphasize it is only targeting specific harmful behaviors and not the concept as a whole would go a long way to prevent the initial visceral reaction most people have. |

LtCommanderData 10/18/17 6:14:30 AM #21 | dainkinkaide posted... It's decidedly not saying "men are bad" And yet that is the impression it gives to literally everyone who sees it. You have to go through the exact spiel you just did in order to inform them of what it truly means. It is not a self-evidently informative name and the first reaction most people have to it is "that is inflammatory". It is a bad name and the fact that people fight so vehemently against "toxic femininity" in terms of both the existence of the concept and the name itself that I honestly believe toxic masculinity is an intentionally manipulative term. I am will to accept the possibility that it was named in order to spur conversation and not to insult, but that is probably the best case scenario. |
Topic | These 3 CONSERVATIVE Girls are fighting for MEN'S RIGHTS..by STRIPPING!!! |
LtCommanderData 10/18/17 6:01:28 AM #18 | dainkinkaide posted... To wit, toxic masculinity is probably more harmful to men than it is to women. The concept is good, but it is so poorly named that I am pretty sure it was designed solely to be as inflammatory as possible especially given that the feminine version of the concept does not have an overly inflammatory name. |

LtCommanderData 10/17/17 11:18:49 PM #12 | Far-Queue posted... They really screwed the pooch with the Crysis games. First one was awesome. Second one was awful. Third one was okay but by then it was sort of too little, too late. The first one was basically a tech demo that turned out to be pretty decent, but ultimately a novelty. They fucked up with the next two by not continuing to push the technical envelope and instead opting to try to get as much cross compatibility as possible and suddenly it just looked like a generic shooter. |

I am really not. There are literally hundreds of better games for $10 that you could purchase. This game was legitimately terrible. It would not even be worth the time if it was free. This is coming from someone who loved the majority of the original trilogy so it is not anti-Mass Effect bias. |

Species 8472 managed to get through it. Also given that the borg was the Federation's mortal enemy it could probably also be considered a form of light treason. |
