Kinda like applying "Mary Sue/Gary Stu" to characters that are good at doing things, right?

So, we totally need an episode with Adam, Tappy, Stu, and gina And stork to serve as a Heinlein “Stranger in a strange land” to serve as a proxy for us confused Gen XBooms. (Those born in the 1970s but in the Midwest so it might has well been 1955.)

Idea for a charity fundraiser: 24 hour podcast. Swap hosts as they pass out. Like Desert Bus for Hope, but RPG chat and games.

Yeah, I am hearing “SJW” used perjoratively more and more, which makes me want to wear it as a badge.
...though I’ll more of a Social Justice Paladin, which is more annoying than the standard Warrior class.
Can someone explain why “neckbeard” is unacceptable?

I miss Gencon in Milwaukee, especially since I had friends there. Nice easy trip around the south end of the lake. Of course, after I left, they moved Gencon and then put a Muskegon-Milwaukee car ferry in (nice ride, 2 hour trip each way). I always chuckle when they're talking about Chicago or the north like it's some frozen hinterlands - which it is mostly.

I've lost count of the people who ask me, in all seriousness, if it's cold there in the summer.

Wait...being called someone that fights for social justice is an insult? I think people are really missing the mark with their insults these days. This is why people hate social justice warriors: People don't hate social justice just people acting stupid.

Christina Hoff-Sommers (sp?) is an activist. The nitwit from Yale is an SJW. youtu.be/Tsgc0k594Js

Of course July and August can get into the 90s F.

The nitwit from Yale is an SJW. youtu.be/Tsgc0k594JsAnd I would argue that that person is just an a$$hole, and not a social justice warrior/advocate/activist. Especially once she started touching him. Tres not cool.
