I swear I have a spare pair of apple earbuds around here somewhere. If I find 'em do you want 'em?
Well, thing with earbuds is that they tend to fall out of my ears.
I guess my ear is shaped funny or something? It's a problem I've always had.
Anyhow, how would you get them to me? The shipping costs would be astronomical.
I appreciate the offer but there's really no need. I'll be getting new ones for Christmas most likely and I can probably borrow someone's until then if I need to.
I kind of resent the Simpsons for what a cornerstone of people's reference pool it is, even though I never watched it as a kid because I was not allowed.
I've seen a lot of South Park and some Family Guy, but those aren't as respected as golden-age the Simpsons.

Sometimes I'm surprised that my parents let me watch The Simpsons as a kid
My mom wouldn't let us watch The Simpsons at first because one of my brothers started imitating Bart. :P She'd relented by the time the third season came around, though.
I want to ask that on Twitter but I had better be ready with an exit strategy in case I get blowback for it, and I haven't come up with an exit strategy yet.

i've seen some Simpsons, and not a lot of Family Guy and South Park... i was never 'not allowed' to watch it, but when i was very young i didn't watch it because i felt like it wasn't meant for me and the jokes went over my head.
There are a lot of things that other people seem to share and make frequent reference to that are completely lost on me. i... slightly resent that? But not like 'fuck you' or anything.
i grew up in a house where my dad was constantly referencing 70s comedy shows i was too young to watch and novels that were too difficult for me to read and plays i hadn't seen, so i'm sort of accustomed to not getting references. And also to making references without the expectation that others will get them.
seriously, a lot of the pro-GG stuff and backlash against SJWs comes from people who feel like gaming is their own special safe place and now it's getting blown open and being criticized as socially problematic and all
i don't see how 'gaming' can be a safe place when iirc it's bigger money than the film industry at this point
Some people turned to gaming -- and by this I also mean gaming communities (and that includes some that are trash-talky and obnoxious) -- as a thing to help get them through difficult times in their life.

Well, so did i in the past. And i did the same with music, but i'm not silly enough to think i 'own' music or that the entire music world is my safe space.

some people are silly
yeah what the man with the digital ghost as an avatar said
like, the metalhead community can work like that sometimes (though at this juncture i must stress that most of the metal community is rad with a few specific hangups), but music as a whole is too broad for things to work like that
Additionally i really can't sympathize with someone who wants a 'safe space' but tries to exclude social justice efforts, including feminist criticism and such, from that space.
That's not wanting to feel safe, that's wanting to wallow in your own misanthropy.

most of these people are either people heavily into the indie scene, or like, wannabe DOTA pros. It's more specific than you might think.
Which isn't to say other fields of gaming can't be and often are sexist, just rather, that's where I think the core Gamergate audience is coming from.

Yes, but unless i'm ovderestimating the scale of the video game industry nowadays, that perspective no longer holds water because gaming is also pretty dang broad.

But at least it doesn't look like a horrible mangling of French.
This made me laugh more then it probably should have.
Did they just invent the words out of whole cloth?
or at least to think carefully about it
If you play the game with the English voice acting, they say it 'luh-see'.
holy shit for once i actually came up with the official pronunciation on my own
n.
"iht", "_th_em", "hurr", "eye", "yur-SELLF", etc.
n.
"CLOY-stur", "CON-vent", "HA-bit", etc.
Like, a REAL little kid
Like I was 3
I discover media far after it's popular, and I also have the ability Own Tempo.

if only everyone could follow the rule of "don't like, walk away" then the internet would be a far less stupid place
but that doesn't make the backlash correct
