Feb 9, 2012 crooked neighbor commented on Senators: They’re Just Like Us!.

Pretty sure the thing about this being the first time Ranker told the senate about his dad is wrong. I worked in the senate in 2009 during the domestic partnership legislation, and it was pretty common knowledge. I think he may even have spoken about it publicly, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Mar 18, 2011 crooked neighbor commented on Is The Game the Douchiest Book of All Time? A Reader Disagrees!.

@56 "The Game is for people who kind of want to read a book about becoming a pickup artist, but want the distance to claim they're not reading it for the how-to-become-a-pickup artist bits. That's the part that pushes it over the top."

That's easy to say now, but the book is six years old. I didn't know anything about PUA communities at the time, and it seemed like pretty legit investigative journalism to me. (For the record, I am female and am not especially interested in learning how to become a pickup artist.)

Or maybe I just had my head in the sand before 2005.

@17, 22, 24 THANK YOU. I've read the book in its entirety and it's not really a guidebook. Yeah, he gets in depth about all the stuff they do, but it's meant to show how hollow and fucked up people like Mystery are.

And yes, I have heard that apparently Neil Strauss went against his conclusions in the book and became a pick-up artist, but "The Game" is meant to show how these techniques are sort of genius and useful in the short-term but will only make everything worse in the long run, and that no one has worse relationships with women than the people who make money teaching people to do this.

It's not Foucault, but the reasons people usually hate this book make me think they haven't read it.

I agree with @22. I've been in the captiol in Madison all afternoon and everyone there was pretty happy about what the Democrats did. Desperate times.

Feb 13, 2011 crooked neighbor commented on Hello, I Am Fat.

I realize this is too late, but @635, you think someone who is 5'9 should only weigh 120 lbs?!

Feb 11, 2011 crooked neighbor commented on Hello, I Am Fat.

Did the people making comments like "Sorry, but 260 pounds IS unhealthy" miss the "You're not my doctor, it's non of your goddamn business" portion of the article?

Also, can we please call out the "But women only like tall men, that's the same thing!" false equivalency bullshit? Short men don't walk around inundated with messages about how disgusting it is that they're short. Maybe because short people have longer lifespans than tall people. Because this whole debate is all about HEALTH, AMIRITE?!

The part of me that likes the gays likes this lady. The part of me that cashiered at the Home Depot up the road from this Target store hated getting complaints like this about things I had no control over and was not allowed to comment on.
