You keep going on and on about boys behaving badly when all it takes to get a lower grade is to put a boy's name on a paper.

Women teachers score boys lower because patriarchy is absurd. Boys are systemically discriminated against in education at all levels.

This article you linked talks about grades and basically nothing else so on the subject of grades - teachers give higher marks to girls than boys. Also, boys know this and perform worse because of it. Teachers 'give higher marks to girls' - BBC News Female Teachers Give Male Pupils Lower...

Why you gotta be hating on the tralfamadorians like that?

Whoa whoa, let's not be bringing the "r" word into this. Matt Damon's space madness did not match the quality of the rest of the film is all I'm saying.

I know I've made this post a couple times in this thread but he's just so damnedcliche'.Good writing, good acting, and some variation of the usual really elevated the familiar sci-fi tropes that the movie is full of. It didn't feel derivative watching it and I've seen my fair share of sci-fi...

Why you gotta be hating on kids? Jim Ward from TSR used to have an article in Scrye Magazine where he complained about losing to 13 year olds at the weekly Magic tournament at the store he went to. He was not a good player and the kids he was losing to were putting inwaymore time than he was...

Not Standard levels of mainstream no butmoremainstream.

I don't think Wizardswantsto keep people out of the older formats but there isn't really much of a way of getting people in to them that doesn't break a two-decades long promise that people have made a great many financial decisions regarding. Really, it's fine the direction they have chosen to...

The real no effort move is to just ban duals from Legacy but I think that would piss people off more than printing new ones would.

I came into the game during 4th Edition/Fallen Empires and missed out on all of the older cards. Standard wasn't a format yet and even parks of The Dark were well above MSRP. When Chronicles came out there was definitely a divide of sorts between younger/newer players and the people who had been...

I'll never forgive Infect for what it did to the MTGO standard casual room.

Free/alternate casting costs have been a problem many a time. I'm hoping they won't forget again that fire is hot for a while. Prerelease for me was pretty cool. There was a guy with baller Mana Crypt openings that couldn't win a flip (or a game) to save his life, Sinkholes and Wastelands...

It's a heavy burden but you carry it well.

I had forgotten he had The Man Show on Comedy Central.

The Trayvon Martin case is where I started to believe that black people are intentionally set up to fail by the media. edit - Also this girl is super, super racist. I'm sorry she feels the way that she does, I don't know what she has gone through, but she's come out the other end full of hate...

Jesus fuck you get defensive goddamn immediately. No,I'm on your side.In times before I would have been one of the ones that would have maybe pointed to luck because of how large of a roll it can play but in my readings I came across what I thought was a very good explanation of the role of...

I have not confused luck with persistence, no.

Luck plays a large role in our lives both in our successes and our failures. John Grisham, before finally finding a publisher for his first novel A Time to Kill was rejected over twenty times. JK Rowling captains a billion dollar franchise and she was rejected seven our eight times. How could...

Sign up. One of the perks you can get for having prior college is getting to pick where you'll be stationed. Choose to be very, very far away from wherever you are now.

You can still join the Army. Door closes when you turn 36. Be all you can be.

I'm a small sample size being just me but all the black NCOs that were either my instructors during basic/AIT or were in my unit at permanent party were all good guys. Actually every single one of them. You give people a fair shake and they'll exceed expectations. The military just happens to be...

I went on to do nothing with the degree I earned but the GI Bill let me get that degree while basically being paid to do so. I graduated without a single nickel worth of debt. The military really is a great option.

What Mist needs is her mom to suffer an accident. Sometimes an accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend.

Just pitch him into the Source Wall. There, done.

I really do not understand what the photo is supposed to mean.

Gazelles are hard as fuck to catch and get away all the time, I don't understand the photo.

She learned the value of armor from the Hound so I'm going to with concealed armor + bladder full of "blood."

Senseless freedom is still freedom!

Bizarro has fire breath, entirely different than Zod. Also Darkseid is a baby and the others are not babies.

How many Krono is a Scepter of Destruction?

I thought Rose McGowan was really cute in Monkeybone But then she started dating Marilyn Manson 100% untouchable after that.

The DVD is set to come out on the 7th of June. The S1 commentaries were gold so I'm very much looking forward to getting to rewatch S2 with them.

This sorta reminds me of Mystery Men I guess?

The pay gap does exist (for reals) but it primarily impacts two groups - 1. older women that are still carrying around some of the baggage of shitty pay from decades ago and 2. minority women. Your basic young white woman is exactly on par with her male equivalents. Older women getting screwed...

Nice to see Ben making a sequel to his 2003 blockbuster

I hope it's the opposite and this is to address Watchman's influence and set it aside at the story's conclusion. That is probably not the case.

Horrible!?! Next you'll probably tell me that you don't like DC's Rebirth arc with its meta-narrative about how much damage Watchmen did to comics with villain Dr. Manhattan exploding people and shit like this - Actually that does sound pretty terrible now that I think about it.

When I was seven or eight (so mid 1980s) early one morning I watched an episode of a game show I had never seen before. One segment had the contestants slapping their loved ones as hard as possible. The finale was Russian roulette. This poor woman put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger for...
