Olympic gymnasts have to be at least 16 years old (and notably, other sports don't have such a restriction, though it doesn't really matter since usually a really young person isn't going to be able to compete at an Olympic level anyway I guess). …

But the dog would eat the cat. The answer is to get two cats. We did that too! Our Chihuahua is smaller than our two cats, so if any of the three animals would get eaten by the others it's probably her. She's also been around our cats sinc…

The answer to the dog owner/cat owner wars is the same as the answer to the console wars... have one of each, and enjoy their individual positive aspects.

The theater I normally go to is offering a deal where you can see all three of the Nolan Batman films back to back on opening night, for $20.00 a ticket. My desire to nerd out and jump on this deal is struggling with my terror of having to sit in a…

^^ That kind of talk was what made my decision not to make the transition to the new BLT easy for me. When it was ostensibly a "site to improve TV Tropes" mostly populated by disaffected ex-tropers, I was happy to provide my viewpoint, even if it wa…
-
I agree with The Mary Sue's take on the Rape Tropes index, and was happy to see that they helped Eddie make his decision to get them restored. At the very least, it's good for once to have an outside perspective on a controversial TVT topic from a …

Backtracking a bit as I missed some posts earlier, my apologies: The substantial difference here is that you speak of being upset when I speak of questioning. It's also a somewhat big deal if only because whatever you buy you will get more of in …
-
I think that it's a pretty valid question to ask, considering the fact that you have very limited information on who donated and why, and yet you're seemingly fine with declaring that they did not make informed decisions. We don't have proof that an…
-
Yeah, no. While what the trolls did was horrible the people who donated still had the agency to make informed decisions. They didn't. See, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. It is highly presumptive, not to mention arrogant, to just …
-
Ok, I can see that. Best thing to do in that situation is to donate (either time or money) to those you feel do a better job, to make sure that their voices are heard as well.
-
^^ Eh, most people in life are mediocre at what they get paid to do, and it doesn't sound like she's doing some kind of mad ongoing cash-grab here, especially since she's donating the left over money to charity. If she's doing a small amount of good…
-
^ I only brought up the comparison to how wealthy I am because it was stated that she was obviously well-off enough not to need the funding. Appearances can be deceiving, and all that. I just didn't get why her having a kick-starter or not was rele…
-
^^ My wife and I own the big three consoles, a hand-held, two pc's rigged for gaming, and video equipment that she uses to promote her business. No one who visited my home would know it just by looking, but we are not "well off" by any means, especi…
-
But to do this you're making assumptions about her personal situation, making assumptions about her mindset, and ultimately getting upset that the people actually giving her the money for this don't share your opinion on those assumptions or the qua…
-
While I won't argue with the accusations of mediocrity, I don't get the hostility at her doing a kickstarter at all. She's offering a service (providing videos on the internet), is asking for help from those who partake in that service in order to m…

Just to make things clear: We (the P5) only voted to cut the work page itself. We have no jurisdiction over forum threads, so we're not messing with that. Now, whether or not the mods feel the need to do something about the Onions thread based on s…

Can someone who was involved with the Kagami Hiragii Snuggling After Sex thread PM me to let me know what the hell was going on there? I've scanned through several pages (to try to make a determination on whether it's a content violation) and I'm pr…

Blizzard takes $1.00 per item plus a 15% fee if you cash out to Paypal. (You could instead allow your proceeds go to your battle.net account, but you can only use that to purchase other things on the Auction house or buy digital download copies of o…
-
It depends on the item. A really sought-after legendary ring that I was lucky enough to get sold for almost $30.00, while a less popular legendary sold for around $3.00. A lot of stuff is getting listed for $1.25, which is about 20 cents profit afte…
-
Yeah, honestly I could see the really hardcore Inferno difficulty farmers and Auction House flippers making thousands (if not more) on this in the next few months. If it doesn't come crashing down in flames, this could be the kind of thing that spaw…

In Blizzard-related news, the Real Money Auction House for Diablo 3 went live yesterday, and I've made a little over $30.00 so far in item sales. I'm half-way to having the game pay for itself, and anything after that will be profit. It's mind-boggl…
-
Also keep in mind that Blizzard fully encourages the use of relatively cheap authenticators, which adds a layer of security that's not easy (though not impossible) to bypass with keylogger or brute force methods. Their password security may not be …
-
Yeah, the downtime on launch day for Diablo 3 was annoying, and a handful of times since then the servers have been taken down for 30 minutes to an hour at a time for maintenance. Other than that it's been smooth sailing, and myself, my wife, and my…
-
Yeah, Diablo 3 was unplayable from about 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm eastern time yesterday due to battle.net server issues. I was honestly surprised it was up as much as it was, and that my wife and I didn't have too many buggy issues outside of the servers…
-
I just realized that I only have about two weeks left if I want to get anything done in my free time before Diablo 3 comes out. Panic ensued.
-
I may actually go see the Avengers this weekend based on what you all have mentioned in this thread, though I'm not 100% decided if I'd rather see it or Cabin in the Woods.
-
Cool, thanks both of you.
-
Alex: Would you say that Avengers is watchable without having seen all of the lead-in movies? (I'm missing Thor and Captain America, iirc)
-
@Juan: As far as I've seen, the consensus on New Girl is that the series really starts picking up steam after episode 3 or so. This is around when the focus becomes less about Jess' wackiness in particular, and more about the individual neuroses of …

^^^, ^^ - Ah, that's what I was missing. Thanks!
