For too long, I have used the forum as a crutch for social anxiety. It's time that I move on.

Life is more than TV Tropes. Stop seeing the world in terms of trope page stereotypes. Your post is incomprehensible.

The reason I left the atheist movement after high school. Not believing in God doesn't prevent one from believing in pseudoscience when it suits one's prejudice. ^Robots are better than people anyway.

That's a very sensitive and honestly really unpleasant topic (mostly because no matter what "discussion" about it becomes obviously the other side is racist) plus there isn't much to say unless you want to get scholarly about it and most of us are…

What do you think of the last year? What has happened that you like or dislike? Every topic that isn't about video games dies instantly. It is becoming increasingly apparent that this place is a sealed-off bubble when a major event like the Fer…

Anti-GG Wikipedia editors who have crammed at lot of time have done donation drives on Ghazi, for the love of Odin. If you're talking about what I think you are, Ghazi suggested it and it was for getting his stuff back from Japan, not anything …

In the end, the harassment was always the biggest issue to the largest group of people. Gee, I wonder why. But lifeless lurking for months shows that for me Knoll's Law even applies to Wikipedia. [citation needed]

I know. But there's a reason the term sociopolitical exists; the two are often intertwined. As for Zoe Quinn, I'm not saying she isn't culpable in any way (although I really am not interested in the bedrooms of the Net, as Trudeau Sr. put it), but …

Yep, glorious leader Harper is known for suppressing science, appointing Environment Ministers solely to defend the oil industry, and once used the "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant" line. Tony Abbott says it outright and repealed the carbon tax so…

Wow, wow, wow, climate change denial is a US thingy, don't mix it up with our country that doesn't engage in that bullshit. Wasn't pointing fingers at any country. In fact, Canada and Australia are currently run by deniers. It wasn't spawned…

It helps being an astroturf movement supported by rich right-wingers in America. It's just another way of shifting the Overton window so that what would be considered far-right almost anywhere else in the world aside from Israel becomes normal polit…

In case anyone still supports GamerGate... (put it here rather than Vidya because of fuck all relevance to video games). Hopefully the last time I post anything about it, since it's reduced to desperate attention seeking at this point.

Probably the biggest Canadian newsmaker of the year: Jian Ghomeshi, the interviewer for Q, a radio show about arts and culture, gets fired from the CBC over sexual abuse accusations on October 26. Immediately afterwards, he puts out a Facebook post …

they in turn become condescending know-it-alls who try to look neutral and enlightened while being very much in love with the sound of their own typing. Guys, have you had an impression I've been recently more abrasive than usual? No. Bu…

A few posts ago: and Steve Tom Sawyer was abused and kicked out of his house by his GF's drunk friends after they'd read the news on the whole controversy and heard his stance. It's mostly unrelated to the incident, but they chose it as a justifi…

Seriously, it was never my intention to laugh at or aggravate anyone in here, especially RedEyedAbyss. (Well, okay. Depending on how you interpret "aggravate".) Eh, it wasn't you. It's just that there tends to be ignorance involved when a virtu…

At first I didn't mind as much. Then he started denying harassment, which hit a sensitive nerve for me.

That's not what I meant. I was referring to ninjaclown constantly posting bullshit and being enabled by other users while refusing to defend his positions. Chagen, Tnu, Hatter, and the like never got away with that much. His behaviour in that thread…

I know I said this a lot already, but I still miss the times when we had the more goofy forum members posting so we had a good mix of silly and serious topics. Nowadays, that kind of topic has a low life span. I also lost enthusiasm after the locke…

It's more than the occasional jerk. I think we should leave this conversation aside. It's not easy to discuss without real-world experience of that kind of thing. Hmm...in its initial form, this forum was meant for petty grievances akin to James R…

I feel like I also need to mention something... Funny thing, I kind of count as a member of scientific community (not that it means much) and never even heard anyone speak of that systemic hostility. I did. That's all I'll say since I don't wa…

That's because it is.

Thing is, even if we all agree that oil is bad, there's still room for discussing alternatives and how to push back against the huge amount of money and influence the oil companies have. Heck, even to what extent oil protestors' actions are justifie…

I like how no one responded to the ethical oil bit. I mean, I did frame it in the Canadian perspective, but I'm sure crap like that affects everyone. But I bring it up because things are getting pretty heated in B.C. right now regarding pipelines. …

With the GoombaGape Clown Car* derailing itself into irrelevance and a total joke, with their only victory over Gamasutra recently nullified, it's illuminating to return to civilization and be reminded that actually, it's about ethics in oil product…

Maybe. It's not my place to say how offensive it was, so I don't have much to say.

I was hoping no one would bring that up, actually. But since the cat's out of the bag: That shirt belongs on vacation in Hawaii, not at an interview for an important scientific finding. V Sounds good. That was all I wanted to say about it anyway.

This sounds more like a general case of needing to remind the audience that person is decidedly not male rather than anything specific to journalism. I think the really silly part of gendered professions is that it's often a game of "Anything you c…
