They're barely hypotheses; biblical ideas are rarely falsifiable.

I use the shaw 100 package, which has a 5Mb upstream rate.

That def works. 2.5mb may be fine though, worth testing.

do you have a cap on your upstream bandwidth? I understood caps to typically refer to downstream.

I'll get an overlay sorted out soon.

Enjoy all the smug superiority you wish to masturbate your own ego with.

You're still ridiculous.

"I think silencing voices is bad, so I revel in the idea of SJ voices being silenced".

Cool story bro.

I actually don't understand how a person could hate Skyfall.

That movie does so many things flawlessly. It's gorgeous, well paced and plotted- it does next to nothing wrong (besides the reverence it shows bond himself).

It's... yeah, it's icky. A lot about Bond is icky. The franchise definitely falls into the category of problematic media that people love anyhow. one of the reasons I liked the hulk columns on Bond so much is that he does an amazing job of breaking down (over the course of >80,000 words!) how and wh...

Shows how much I've actually been paying attention xD I concede my previous points but still, I believe this whole ordeal should just end and be over with, it's doing nothing but making more problems. Or maybe just pay more attention? Sorry if I'm coming in hot here, but I am so far beyond having a...

I'll give you the boyfriend part but she did a lot of stuff wrong. Most notably she claimed to have been raided by wizardchan (which essentially started all of this) without proof and it escalated when members of wizardchan tried to defend themselves but ended up getting attacked more. won't someon...

Quinn and Phil WERE victims. Quinn was the subject of a fucking character assassination by a jilted ex boyfriend over details of her sex life that were no business of anyone but the parties involved leading into a sustained (and still ongoing!!!) campaign of abuse and harassment. Phil, upon standing...

Yes. Bond himself commits several ostensible rapes of women over the course if the films, though they never play it as "rape" if you get my meaning. It's usually presented in a "she secretly couldn't resist him" or "she was a bad guy and so it's punishment / duty / bond didn...

Once you HAVE seen Skyfall, if you care to read a fairly cutting critique of it (from someone who enjoyed it, but is teasing apart the subtext) filmcrithulk did a fantastic assessment of it in his Hulk vs Bond Day 4 column. The gist: Skyfall is a fantastic movie that says some really troubling thing...

For sure - there is a battle happening right now. But it's growing pains, in my opinion.

The losses hurt. But they aren't insurmountable.

Eh. Yeah, a lot of bland boring status quo shit will continue to be produced, but not to the exclusion or continued marginalization of art / indie / progressive / subversive games. If anything, we should take away from this the fact that a huge, and now very vocal portion of the industry, even if st...

Call of duty totes has girls in it.

I found the implication that pursuing broadened representation of women in games is comprable to requiring that all mustangs come with built-in child car seats super gross and really tone-deaf.

-m

And we have now hit both sides of my original call-out: phrasing: "respectable women" and intent " virgin-shaming / slut-shaming twofer."

-m

I am reasonably sure that such studies have been done, and that the answer is yes, but I don't have one available to present or cite to you off the top of my head. Google could probably help with that question though.

I think it's maybe time to wheel back the argument about "respectability", Valkyrie.

Hey, just a heads up, that phrasing (also maybe the point) isn't really cool.
