the negroni?

Black Ogre?

[Rufus]

Y’all should try kuemmerling.

 

Germanbore take the L.

Bitters were conceived as medicine, then marketed as digestifs. The only people I've ever seen drink it with gusto are middle aged women during Karneval. :I

You're the ones who adopted Jägermeister as something you chug at parties, so I suggest we just share that L and call it even.

[thetylerrob]

All this talk of gin and no one expressed their love of the negroni?

(Image removed from quote.)

I'll will gladly drink these until I vomit on myself and pass out.

I would never drink something with such a problematic name. Irish car bombs are dope though.

Jägermeister came to greater international attention particularly through the work of Sidney Frank, who ran an American liquor import company. He promoted the drink at the youth and student market, as a drink for parties, a quite different niche to its traditional conservative brand position in its native market.[7] New York magazine quoted a market research firm as describing him as a 'promotional genius' for making "a liqueur with an unpronounceable name...drunk by older, blue-collar Germans as an after-dinner digestive aid...synonymous with 'party'."

Jägermeister's ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots, and spices, including citrus peel, licorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries, and ginseng.[11] These ingredients are ground, then steeped in water and alcohol for 2–3 days. Afterwards, this mixture is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about a year. When a year has passed, the liqueur is filtered again, then mixed with sugar, caramel, and alcohol.

good god no wonder it tastes like it does

had never investigated the actual process before

Entertainers are just strippers with better PR. They are just as emotionally fucked up and will exhibit bizarre behavior in their personal lives. Yet we all act shocked when it happens.

Rose's point is this: women have to deal with sexual harassment from their teens all the way into adulthood. That's not something that most 65 year old men have ever had to deal with.

There's some shit that ciswomen deal with, and there's some shit transwomen have to deal with. Thinking their advocacy needs are identical is counterproductive.

Reminds me of this picture:



Your problems are going to be simply different on how people perceive you. I imagine a transgender women that no one can identify as transgender has also a different set of problems than one where it's more obvious.

So that’s a kinda vague title, but it’s intentional. What we are looking for is layered:

1. Games set in Africa - This is the most obvious one, but we are specifically not looking for games where the indigenous population is slaughtered by some non native influence. So no, Resident Evil 5 is not an acceptable answer.

2. Games with an African Main Protagonist - A little harder to fulfill as I want main protagonists. I will accept games with custom characters IF AND ONLY IF said custom character creator has viable African features in it. I will also require pictures of said characters as proof of making a viable African protagonist, specifically showing hair, nose, etc.

3. Games made by African Developers - they do exist after all

4. Games that could be set in Africa - Two acceptable answers. First, games that frequently change settings that could have a viable entry in Africa; for example, Assassin’s Creed (don’t @ me about Origins) or Pokémon. Second, games that could be reconceptualized in an African aesthetic; for example a Metroidvania in Africa or a Devil May Cry in Africa.

everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic, and you have to point it all out to everyone all the time.

No one cares beyond "thoughts and prayers". I don't even care to that point.

You can try and be the black sheep on social issues to inspire change but chances are you are destined to fail and just whine about it due to personal discomfort. Such a waste of energy.

I feel like that quote is isolated out of a greater context, but i'm not going to buy a book to find out.

Her point is that cis feminism is different from trans feminism, which is not much different from saying black feminism is different from white feminism. Each has different focus points.

Predictably, SweetNicole is going on a ban spree in that Rose McGowan thread

And now all the backseat mods are quoting posts they want banned

[Clockwork5]

So the argument the trans woman made is,

A) Trans women are women too. How dare you say trans women are not like real women on Ru-Paul's show.

Rose's response is basically "I fight for all women."

But then the trans women backpedals and her argument changes to.

B) But trans women are not just women, we are different and must not be lumped together with cis women. We need to be specifically mentioned when talking about women's issues.

To which Rose responds by saying "I am not from your planet."

This is a crystal clear example of the Catch 22 when debating trans issues with the more militant wing of the trans movement (the wing which is the most vocal and has all but defined the trans movement in recent years.) When one treats them as a woman they claim they are different, face different challenges and have different needs than cis women (which I think is true) But when one stands up for a cause important to "Women" the transmilitants feel excluded and do not understand why a straight, cis, woman would not become their messenger or advocate.

Thier identity is so convoluted with intersectionalities that either A) they are legitimately beyond confused and cannot see their own identity is riddled with fallacies or B) they are arguing in bad faith.

The Gutter_Trash ban is one of legends.

He/she(?) says something like: "Well trans people don't have to suffer from male power abuse!!!"

Dogile of undecdided gendesr: "LIKE HeLL WE DoN'T!"

Gutter Trash: "I meant, not the power abuse from hetero-sexual males"

Dogpile of undecided genders: "What? Are you SAYING trans can't HETEROSUXAL?"

The comic book industry has shrunk considerably in the last decade. If they suddenly decided to shift their focus back to traditional stories and away from the supposed "SJ W" type books that racists and white dudes on the net lampoon... they would still sell about the same.

So what you have are a bunch of whiny harassers on the internet yelling at and blaming women in the industry because they have to look at POC and queer characters now and it triggers them oh so much.

If you think comics are bad because the writing is bad, that's whatever. that's completely subjective. but if you think comics are bad because SJ W vipers have infested the ranks and are trying to destroy it from within, you're a fucking idiot. I'm not claiming you're either, but those people DO exist and are the currently harassing creators and saying stupid shit like "stop putting politics in mah comix" when what they REALLY mean is "I hate women, blacks, queer people and they don't deserve time in my little hobby"
