Unfriendly fucking reminder that the best predictor of mass shootings is not mental illness, but being an angry young white man who has recently experienced rejection and has easy access to guns.

Bringing this back because it makes terrible people angry. And I’ll add a note to all the people saying “But you’d have to be mentally ill to do that!”: Mental illness is, by definition, abnormal. Does “mediocre white boy is so entitled that he resorts to violence when told no” really sound particularly unusual to you?

I devoted my entire graduate studies and thesis on mass school shootings, multiple murderers, and criminal psychology and I can tell you that this is in fact completely true and is suported by an unbelievable amount of emperical, quantifiable data that I slaved over for years. 💯

I often wonder if anyone else feels at peace when they use a really great pen.

Microwaves should have a silent setting, so that you don’t have to worry about waking people up at night.

Okay so like a month or two ago a customer saw that I played games and as a prospective game developer he wanted my views, a female’s perspective, on games and gaming.

So I told him the things that crosses the girl gamer’s mind: how every main playable character is a white man, how unfortunate it is that a female’s pain, even death, is used for the feels of male characters, the unnecessary sexualization, how uncomfortable it is to be a female gamer on mic, so on and so forth. He thanked me for the insight, said he’d bring these issues to his professor so going forward they would keep these things in mind. 

Well I saw that customer today and he gave me an update. Turns out his professor was a big ole misogynist. That he belittled those concerns and said that women didn’t matter. When the customer mentioned all his female colleagues who also wanted futures in gaming, the professor said they didn’t matter either. 

So the customer went to the department head, complained about him, and the department in turn investigated the professor and found that women did have complaints about him but were afraid to come forward. So, in part, thanks to my comments on being a girl gamer, a man lost his job because he hates women.

Good.

This is great stuff.

If net neutrality was about cars instead of data, and losing it meant drivers would be forced to slow down to 15mph on 60mph highways because they chose to drive the “wrong” make of car or listen to the “wrong” radio station, it would be saved in a heartbeat.

Isn’t “finding a needle in a haystack” actually easy? You just set the haystack on fire and the needle is all that’s left.

Potato chips are limited by the size of the potato, but there’s no reason we can’t have baguette-sized Cheetos.
