Can you please stop with Cards Against Humanity

No, I told myself to breath.

I’m saying that you can only dehumanize others and not oneself;

Leigh is EIC of Offworld. If you want an official ā€œbut what about Boing Boingā€ rank it would be ā€œcontributing editorā€ or ā€œlady pirate of the pixel seasā€, not guest blogger.

The general trend toward more newsy coverage of feminism and racism that I think winds certain folks up, though, is found in many of our recent guest bloggers.

I bet a lot of it is headlines. One in particular really knows how to wind up reactionaries with headlines.

No, that is not true. Not even close. Like a million times not even close. That is such a fallacy my mind is boggled.

I think I want that on a business card, no matter how technically inaccurate it may be in my case.

That makes sense. Thanks. I appreciate it (no snark).

Thank you! It just wasn’t clear the way you wrote it out. It probably would have made sense had I been able to hear you. :slight_smile: Again, I appreciate the clarification. I think we’re mostly on the same page.

No snark here either: I have immense respect for you. You have given me solid advice, your observations are spot on and well formed, and I rarely disagree with your conclusions.

(Sometimes though I think one of us should just phone call the other.)

Awww. Except phone calls? People do that? I just use Google Hangouts anymore, it seems, lol. :smile:

There was that TOS episode…

(Sidebar). I was talking to some friends the other day. They sent me a text to look at a fb message they sent me to get on a voice Skype call.

ā€œā€¦but you have my phone number!?ā€

ā€œThis was easier!ā€

Riiiight. :smiley:

Well, it is easier if you want to have a group chat. :slight_smile: I was mostly kidding.

I do wish it were easier to video chat via phone, though, but it’s not, is it? That seems a weird thing… you have to use skype or google hangouts or whatever and you must have data or wifi.

I talk about as fast as I type which is way too fast.

It was the text to fb to Skype for one person that cracked me up. Kids these days.

If I get a Snapchat of a Skype ID I might lose my mind.

I’m wrong about this point. I suppose I don’t read Offworld often enough.

Phew, that was a slog.

Thank you for pointing out that CAH is more than crude humor. I’ve only played it a couple times, but even I know better than to think it’s just ā€œHUR HUR HUR that’s racist!ā€. Maybe it depends on what set you buy how offensive it is, but I didn’t encounter much of that during the games I played, and even if I had, you can easily just make your own cards with whatever you want on them. It’s more about being creative and clever than offensive, and about reading the personalities of your friends and what they find funny. My personal favorite from the game I played was ā€œ________ is a slippery slope that leads to _______ā€, which was turned into ā€œOrganized religion is a slippery slope that leads to The Star Wars Holiday Specialā€.
