My 13 year old niece has severe anexiety and looks forward to our family DnD game night every week. Nothing like fantasy, family and killing shit to cure an anxious mind. :) *she is the one who is playing the Gwar Balsac mini fig.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard from someone who has a family member with a mental illness, who has found joy and comfort in gaming. There’s something wonderful happening here, and we need to learn more about it. Could gaming help people with anxiety/depression/autism? The plural of anecdote is not data, but I have a lot of anecdotes that suggest it does.
There is just too much hate in this world, folks. It hurts deep down, all the time. Men don’t have vaginas, so men shouldn’t be in charge of them. There’s really one race we all should focus our efforts on and that’s the human race. No one has the right to tell you what to feel, no one.
It is your heart and your head that lead you; strike a path for goodness and brightness, and keep your faith to yourself, where it is happiest.
“I don’t trust Romney,” Barbara Doherty told WHDH 7. “He shouldn’t make my son’s death part of his political agenda. It’s wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama.”

This billionaire CEO is threatening to fire his employees if Obama wins.
Fuck everything about this guy.
Wow. In a gilded gold fucking chair and everything.
Rep. Darrell Issa, the indefatigable Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called a hearing for noon Wednesday even though Congress is in a weeks-long recess. The emergency cause for the hearing? Probing“The Security Failures of Benghazi”— lapses in diplomatic security that led to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya.
The purpose of the pre-election hearing, presumably, is to embarrass the administration for inadequate diplomatic security. But Issa seems unaware of the irony that diplomatic security is inadequate partly because of budget cuts forced by his fellow Republicans in Congress.
For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for theState Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012.
Congressional Republicans and their presidential nominee blame Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats for policies championed and enacted by the GOP.
What a bunch of fuckers.
Oh, so I guess “It’s the White House for a reason” is a thing now. Alex Zeagler’s is my favorite: “on the off chance this is racist, don’t worry ‘coz it’s not offensive.”
That reason is because, you know, it’s a house that is white.
God I hate people…but especially these people.
Because it’s totally not racist if you say it’s not racist…. bastards!
Casual racism is racism.
Racism rooted in ignorance is racism.
Ignoring that racism exists is racism.
Racism is racism.

He claims his quote is taken out of context, then manages to double down on it instead of distancing himself from it.

I think during this election season it is important to recall the history of the Presidency itself. And so, test your skills:
1. Which President died in office?
- Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson
- Grover “Old Spice” Cleveland
- Lyndon “Old Hissy Fit” Johnson
- Warren “Old Dead” Harding
2. Who…
