Right wing American nut jobs are supporting the mentally retarded Australian Prime Minister for his stance on turning away refugees, his negative position on same sex marriages and not protecting natural heritage sites

I have more than a little to say about his recent antics, but I'll save it for another time, lest I don't make it to the shops in time to buy food.
But, on a lighter note, the BBC has a strange interpretation of the Chinese zodiac:
I've learned that many venues' insurance won't cover minors unless they pay a lot more. Some nerdy events in New York have had similar problems.
Probably has something to do with the fact that there's no legal distinction between a 16 yr old, 75% responsible adult and a 4 yr dumbass that will trip and fall on anything.
Venue insurance. If I run a shop, and someone trips over nothing and breaks their arm, or gets molested and sues over "lack of security" or somesuch nonsense, I would be on the hook for effectively unlimited legal fees.
Teens, as a group, are (or are perceived to be) impulsive and prone to drama and inflammatory situations, so it's not too surprising that insurers would shy away. Especially in the US, when kids are involved, reason kinda goes out the window.
Of course, there should be lots of underwriting tables supporting these sorts of decisions.. dunno about that as I never worked in Property/Casualty insurance.
So the largest MTG community website around, MTGSalvation, moved into some sort of gaming website network called Curse, which I had never heard of before. The result is that now the website is blocked at my workplace. Boo for workplace internet restrictions and boo for this move.
I never really understood what people meant when they complained that men (or others) are overstepping or overestimating their "rights" to a woman's body when they make observations about it. I mean, they're not physically touching anyone. They're not presuming to take any liberties with that woman by commenting on the internet, right?
Well I've been looking around on DeviantArt a lot lately because I want to commission some artwork for my podcast website, and I happened to stray into the cosplay section because there are some insanely talented cosplayers on there and the ways they come up with to depict various characters can be truly amazing.
Anyway, the pure, unfiltered, seemingly unmoderated bile that gets spewed at female cosplayers on that site... oh my freaking god. I understand what people mean now when they say that. The things that miserable misanthropic shit-heels think they are entitled to say to people who are sharing themselves in a positive, productive way... holy shit.
My first serious build I used Kingston RAM and everything worked great. Then I tried other, cheaper ram for every other build, and I always seemed to have issues getting the system running just right. With my latest build I have returned to Kingston and shit is working great again.

OMG this is priceless, I didn't know American satire was so good, I laughed for a good 2 minutes.

Although, finding racist reactions on Twitter is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.

Why does the club scene hate me? It's not even a drinking thing for most of them -- that I would understand -- because most of these are 18+. Why?

I'm not a fan of Patriot RAM myself, these days I only go for the lifetime warranty sticks.
