- I know nothing about the game - was it exciting for people who did watch it? -- nm - Max Oct 22, 19:11 5
  - It was over relatively quickly, though the KC crowd stayed pretty jacked until the end. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 19:19
  - Now the current game, is a lot more exciting - amoxy Oct 22, 19:19
  - the game itself was for we who are rooting for the giants, but it started as a good matchup. - b! Oct 22, 19:13
  - Nah. It was pretty much a one sided blowout. But still KC hasnt been there in 29 years. - Jovian Oct 22, 19:13
  - some of my friends fell asleep so I'm guessing not. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 22, 19:13

Bah, 20 oz package of ground turkey has nutrition info for 4 oz servings.....how the heck do yo divide a rectangle into 5? :) - Meg Oct 22, 18:24 17
- I am liking Weight Watchers. Wish computers and smart phones it's do damn easy to follow. - Bacon Oct 22, 19:08 3
  - Oh, that was an easy conversion. It's one point per ounce. I was dividing it up for freezing and wanted flat sections to fit in sandwich bags. - Meg Oct 22, 19:11 1
    - Turkey Playdo! It just might sell -- nm - Bacon Oct 22, 19:23

- with my kitchen scale -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 22, 18:45 5
  - I recently won a WeightWatchers scale at a meeting - haven't used it yet. I really prefer just to eyeball things. -- nm - Meg Oct 22, 18:53 4
    - I used to fastidiously measure things until I noticed all the great chefs on TV eyeball it -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 18:58
    - it mostly is used to weigh meat before I put it in the smoker, so I can judge cooking time. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 22, 18:57
    - My scale is my life. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 18:55 1
      - and I bet your voice is your passport -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 18:59
- Took the easy way out - quartered it, cooked a quarter, and held back a good spoonful for breakfast :) - Meg Oct 22, 18:43
- 5 strips of 4oz each -- nm - Bloody Ice Oct 22, 18:38
- I do thinner rectangles, then break in half (I often like smaller) or shape. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:30
- Split it into 4 portions and increase the numbers by 25% -- nm - The Zorking Dead Oct 22, 18:29

The View From a Centerfold: Playboy models from the 50s/60s/70s reflect -- (link) - ty97 Oct 22, 17:58
Less than an hour after posting this, Felicia Day was doxxed. This is why we cannot have nice things. -- (link) - Tim Oct 22, 17:57 60
- A related perspective-inducing tweet. -- (link) - Beryllium (scream.) Oct 22, 19:27 7
  - I don't care if it's a small handful doing this. The idea that this mindset at all exists today means we've completely failed as a society. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 19:33 4
    - I slightly disagree. I think this is a backed-into-a-corner response to a fundamental improvement in society. - Beryllium (scream.) Oct 22, 19:38 1
      - Hope you're right. From somewhere else I read that a little less than half of gamers are now female. - toboooooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 20:46
    - They're 4chan trolls, dude. It's what they do. nm - Dignan Oct 22, 19:38
    - Well, that was evident long before this started... - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 19:37
  - *ding* - Spawn Oct 22, 19:30
  - Kluwe himself made the same point. -- nm - David Oct 22, 19:29
- I donut understand. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 22, 19:13
- I'm kinda shocked the gamergate is still going on. - ty97 Oct 22, 18:18 15
  - The cretins will not rest until people like Anita Sarkeesian and her supporters go away entirely. - Tim Oct 22, 18:21 13
    - The whole thing has put me in the unlikely position of defending/supporting Gawker. - David Oct 22, 18:56 6
      - I'm not really paying attention but Gawker complaining about being bullied is hilarious. - droidlet Oct 22, 19:05 3
        
        Yes, let's not forget that Gawker ran (no idea if they still do) the celebrity stalking site/page. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 19:14 2
        
        Gawker Stalker has not been a thing for quite some time. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 19:15 1
        
        Ok, the point still remains, it was a thing, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 19:23
      - I will need six paragraphs to believe this -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 19:04
      - Heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 18:58
    - After a Gawker writer said that we should (to paraphrase) bring bullying back, and bully gamers into submission, and his boss patted him on the back - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:26 4
      - just brilliant that gamer-gaters blew that entirely out of proportion. - znufrii Oct 22, 18:57
      - They wrote this about that. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 22, 18:48 2
        
        F- Gawker, I truly, and sincerely, hope that they do lose millions of advertising dollars from this. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:58 1
        
        I wouldn't shed a tear over that. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 19:01
    - And it seems some are even saying it's racism uhm...uhm... -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:22
  - The "boys" who are doing it want the girls to get out of their clubhouse and they aren't, so they think behaving even worse is going to do it. -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:21
- 8chan has made a very powerful enemy. But in the meantime Felicia Day is in very real danger from stalker types. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 18:14 8
  - Kluwe is going off. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 18:22 4
    - Depending on the rate of re-tweet, I expect Adobe and Intel PR will have an interesting Thursday. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 18:42 1
      - yeah.... -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 18:53
    - I may need to start using "jizzwaffles" as a pejorative. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:34 1
      - hee -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 18:58
  - I legitimately fear for her safety right now. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 18:17
  - 8? -nm - JD Oct 22, 18:17 1
    - No, 8. That's where the people who got kicked out of 4chan went. - Beryllium Oct 22, 18:47
- :/ -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:07
- what is doxxed? -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:00 24
  - her personal information (including exact living address) was posted somewhere on the unsavory parts of the internet - Tim Oct 22, 18:02 23
    - it was really bad before. now it just went nuclear. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 18:12 1
      - I'm on Team Felicia wherever that may lead -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:13
    - And because she's a woman criticizing men who are behaving badly. -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:05
    - I haven't taken the time to understand GamerGate. I just know there are some real dicks involved -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:04 19
      - (on both sides) - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:33 13
        
        I think there's badness on both sides; but when one goes tremendously, horribly overboard, trying to imply some kind of parity doesn't sit well. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:35 12
        
        GamerGate supporters have been doxxed, received death threats, etc. too, but they're not "celebrities" so... - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:40 11
        
        that stuff is never ok, no one should ever think it is. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:44 10
        
        Honestly? By and large they're cowards using the cover of anonymity to terrorize and intimidate. Fuck em if they can't take a joke. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 19:01 1
        
        ?? nothing I addressed there was related to the bullying thing (which I only just read about in the past 5 minutes, and which I now understand to - b! Oct 22, 19:04
        
        I agree. :) - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:48 7
        
        congratulations on missing the point, if you think the doxxing (and all the other specific acts of harrassment) is actually the main issue here. - znufrii Oct 22, 19:05
        
        Yes, and most of the harrassment is being perpetrated by professional trolls who couldn't care less about gaming. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:05 4
        
        I'd agree to some extent that we're in a lulz loop - Reagen Oct 22, 19:10 3
        
        The journalism angle is indeed pretty weak. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:19 2
        
        I agree with a lot of what you say, my only thing with respect to the "ethics" issue is that because of her friendships within the gaming press, a lot - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 19:35 1
        
        Oh, sure. And this is just a small window we've been given. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:41
        
        Going forward, I think there's a clear need for pocket communities like ours. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 18:49
      - Wikipedia has a decent overview -- (link) - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:13
      - Tim is l33t -- nm - Bloody Ice Oct 22, 18:05
      - The claim is that something about "ethics in game journalism" but the real point is they believe women need to stop having opinions. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 18:05 2
        
        I can't believe people are still misogynistic in this day and age -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:09 1
        
        I can. -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:11
Now, I'm free. There are no strings on me. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 17:57 1
- ~I got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown~ -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 18:12
