Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting... →
John Scalzi:
I’ve been thinking of a way to explain to straight white men how life works for them, without invoking the dreaded word “privilege,” to which they react like vampires being fed a garlic tart at high noon.
Before you reblog this to tell me how much oppression you, a straight white male, actually face, read his followup post, and then stab yourself in the neck.

R.I.P. @fedge
He was a dick to me on Tumblr once, or I was a dick to him. We had a whole big internet fight. It was pretty dumb.

Coupling 2x01
Steve: So, she's gorgeous, and you're definitely in. What's wrong this time?
Jeff: This is the worst one ever. I can't even talk about it.
Steve: Jeff, Jeff. I know about the Giggle Loop, the Sock Gap, the Nudity Buffer, and what you said to Audrey Watkins. Believe me: there is nothing you can possibly say that will surprise me. So what's the trouble?
Jeff: I've got too many legs!

Wrong
A PDF of Valve Software’s handbook for new employees has been making the rounds this week. The company is famously anarchic—no job titles, no management, no hierarchy at all—and the handbook mostly explains how the fuck that actually works in practice. (If you’ve ever played one of their games, you’ll know it works pretty damn well.)
It’s worth a look for the charming...

Complaining that you’re a victim of the “PC police” or whatever is an excellent way to ensure I will never respect another word that comes out of your mouth.
Oh, I’m sorry, am I oppressing you?
