Argh, I've had the actual study document open in my browser for days, meaning to share it and never did, and now I apparently closed the window. Let me find it again.

Insights into Sexism: Male Status and Performance Moderates Female-Directed Hostile and Amicable Behaviour
"being a sexist pig means you're a beta cuck" doesn't strike me as any more serious than "buying an expensive car means you're overcompensating", though.
I mean, I'm not saying the study isn't real or the effects are there, but it'll just become one more soft attack to throw at the insecure guys with big guns or big trucks or $5000 gaming rigs, and they won't care.

The very first word in the article is “Girls...” so I already know what @WasabiPoptart ’s reaction will be.
#17 will make you say, “Really? Really?”

First of all, I’m a woman, not a girl. FFS! Unless it’s boys and girls, saying girls and men is horrifically sexist and demeaning.
Second of all, Kim Kardashian’s race to catch em all? STDs that is? I’d rather drop my phone in an outhouse and fish it out with my bare hands than be caught dead with that garbage on it.
Animal Crossing and Overwatch - ok, but the rest are brutal and seem to suggest that girls (because we aren’t the equivalent of men it would seem) can’t play the games that men or even boys play.
Gross.
I once worked at an amusement park where the time cards were lined up:
Men
Boys
Girls
It was offensive 30 years ago and it’s worse now.

@Squidleybits the funny rating is for the Kim Kardashian comments.

At least you're not trying patch CoD: Modern Warfare and Warzone on Xbox One... 66.3GB
That post was so brutal on so many levels.
Post automatically merged:
Fingers crossed that it means one less crash an evening rather than three more.

Poor Tim.
He's probably earned it, though. His twitter handle might as well actually be "@braggadocio."

Since we don't have a video game rant thread:
I think I'm finally wanting to play Fallout 3, but having to figure out what mods I want/need in order to play it may keep me from doing so. Thousands of pages of mods on NexusMods, with many that forked and the most recent/useful version is not the one that shows up first when browsing and UGH. I don't even know what game-breaking bugs there are in FO3 that I care about fixing. (I wish I'd known about more of FO:NV's major bugs before I ran into them. I lost a lot of caps not realizing a vendor wasn't actually paying me for the items I was selling.)

First things first, have you confirmed FO3 runs on your system? FO3 oftentimes doesn't play well with Windows 7 or later, and will crash on startup. If that happens to you, then the first thing you're going to need to deal with is to fix the startup crashes.
