Is that a new profile pic? First I've noticed it ... I like! Happy Birthday Jan ... party like it's saturday night should you feel the urge

Lovely Any pics. I had many friends doing the same around San Jose (downtown) back thenish. Maybe a bit earlier.

Love the kitty pic! I'm in just under the wire here to wish you a Happy Birthday ... hope it wasn't the wurst Kurt [unless you're in to that]

Hope all is well Tim ... I delight in seeing your profile pic when I fly in to wish you a very Happy Birthday each year. Keep on buzzin'

Awesome sausage!! Ya know, your avatar pic and @PlayhousePals avatar pic need to be t-shirts, they are just so good!

"Let's put up a pic showing a connection between Hillary and the troll, but then say WE wouldn't make that connection so it'll be ok."

Doing shit the opposition would do, then saying you wouldn't, doesn't make you better, it makes you worse.

HAHAHA! Your channel pic and name just caught my eye ... love it

Nice profile pic Sketch! Like a bad penny, I'm back to wish you a Happy Birthday. Savor the day

@newtboy yeah, but that ad was specifically for a surf competition that Roxy was sponsoring. It took a lot of flack at the time for being demeaning to women surfers and inspired this awesome parody.


@Babymech of course teachers and civil rights activists (and most importantly software developers ) should be paid. And before that, we should make sure that children have enough to eat, and stop wars and fix climate change and so on and so on.

I don't know how many times I've said this, but just because problem A is worse than problem B doesn't mean that problem B isn't a problem.

No-one tells teachers, activists, etc. that they're not hot enough to be paid (certainly not in software anyway )

My issue is not that she's not sponsored, it's that she's not sponsored because she's not good looking enough.

I get why that is from a commercial sense. There's a definite expectation on female surfers to be attractive (probably because they tend to wear bikinis a lot). I mean, look at this. If you removed the one surf pic, it could be a generic modelling agency roster.

But that only goes on as long as we accept it. There's nothing wrong with attractive women modelling bikinis. I appreciate the female form as much as the next straight guy/lesbian. But it sucks when a young girl with great talent, looks at that list and thinks that looks are more important than ability in surfing.

Now I'm not 100% sure here, but I get the impression that 0-60 times weren't a major consideration in this engine swap. He sourced everything out of a junkyard he runs and built the car for next to nothing.

I did like the idea, from the comments, of chroming the part of the engine above the hood to make it look like a big blower

Why not submit the original videos? Do we need the third-rate David Attenboroughs and their voice-overs? I think I can point and laugh at her on her own for being childishly hyperbolic, but with the condescending voice-over, meme-pics, and the schoolyard Nazi comparisons, it's not as funny...

OK, I honestly don't know if this is the 'upload a pic of your choice to punch' type of thing either, but I do think that exists, which means this isn't worse than that, if it's not that.
I do agree, she's not rich, and so not as protected. I don't agree that, necessarily, those playing the game have any intent to harm.
I also disagree that NO one has malice towards Bieber, I'm certain there are hundreds of people out there that would love to punch him in real life...and have said so online. I agree, she's seen it worse though.
I can't say which game would have more genuine ill intent, but really, I think more people would actually hit Bieber than kill Bin Laden...maybe I'm wrong and there are more people out there willing to kill rather than punch, but I kind of hope not.
I can guarantee if Bieber gets punched, without SERIOUS injury, tens of thousands of people will cheer! Me with them. he's getting better, but for a while there he really needed a good smack to the face.
It's possible there may be MORE people wishing actual harm against Sarkeesian, but not really likely, since as you admit, her celebrity is a black hole compared to Bieber's star, so exponentially more people know Bieber.
Yes, a game that ONLY allows you to punch blacks would be, by definition, racist. One that allows you to punch Cosby likely exists...and he's also received numerous, serious death threats, and doesn't have major security (but maybe more than her, I don't know). I would say it's also OK to pretend to punch Cosby...or anyone you feel like PRETENDING to punch...as long as it stops there.
Part of living in a free society is a bit of risk. Some face more than others, it's not fair, it's just reality. As my parents told me daily...no one ever said life is fair.

EDIT: Also, no one is forcing Sarkeesian to view the game. It only constitutes harassment if they somehow subject her to it, right? If people surrounded her on the street with Ipads and 'punched' her face in front of her, yeah, but it simply existing....well, I think that doesn't rise to the level of action by far. If I find out someone is playing that game with a picture of a newt....fine...just don't go punching any real newts or we'll have problems. Otherwise, go to it and get it out of your system. ;-)

Yep. You know all those gross pics of that disgusting slob Miley Cyrus sticking her tongue out like a slobbering idiot? Every time I accidentally notice one on the internet, I just KNOW she has to have really terrible breath from how discolored her tongue is. Euch!
