Slang for "male virgin," particularly a male virgin of age 30 or above.

This person did not commit those crimes because he was lonely or sexually desperate. He fits perfectly into the pattern of young men trying to valorize their sense of personal grandiosity in a storm of deadly violence. Throwing women at him would not have cured his hypertrophied entitlement complex....

These are valid objections but still, the risk of triggering panic attacks should not override the right of art to exist. Given how prevalent description of rapes are in mass media I don't think why this objection should stand. I'd think that the center of the issue here is that the artist didn't t...

My condolences to his family and friends.

I just want a semi-original story which isn't a hamfisted remake of any of the last 12 Star Trek movies or any of the famous TV show episodes. I mean maybe it's close to impossible but I just hope its somewhat more original than 2009's "let's do Nemesis a little better" and 2013's "le...

I was wondering in the previous draft if Kes was going to show up!

I'm curious where you thought the previous draft veered into hurr-durrism. One small thing I noticed: you rewrote the line where Torres talks about Starfleet procedures to omit the comment she had in the previous draft about "the Yamato incident," and now it just generically says "la...

20th-century Paris. I don't mind some references to current real-world culture, but I wished we had seen more creativity; maybe some attempt to refer to things between the 21st and 24th centuries.

That "cultural stagnation" point drove me fucking nuts watching DS9. What do we do with the holosuite? Alamo, 1950's spy movies, 1950's bar (inside the real , 24th-century bar!)... I think the worst was when Odo and Kira (neither of whom are human) went on a holosuite date to 1920's Paris....

What decent Christians should do is tell off the evil Christians using Christian language and rhetoric . Sort of like how this guy does it. If Jesus was telling us the truth in Matthew 25, as I believe he was, then that gay man living in Uganda? That’s Jesus. That lesbian woman or transgendered pers...

I remember walking through the halls of my junior high between classes, hearing my fellow students talk about "Afghanistan" for some reason. My younger brother ran up and breathlessly told me the World Trade Center had been bombed. I didn't get it , it bounced right off of me. I told him s...

Actions like Cain's are not that surprsing. There is a growing group on the Right that fully believe the first amendment only relates to "Christian" religions. This largely feeds into their delusion that America was founded "By Christians for Christians and is a Christian nation"...

Can I guess? you are a perfect example of why rape victims are not of questionable credibility rape victims are not of questionable credibility (From context, that "not" appears to be a flub.) This sounds to me like a terrible horrible no-good very bad thing for anyone to say ever. It's no...

He said at the press conference that he had meant to send a direct message to the woman and “panicked” when he realized he had sent it out to all of his Twitter followers. And I'm having a hard time imagining a worse damage-control strategy than the one he used that isn't illegal. If he had just be...

Why is bliptv so much less receptive to DMCA bullshit? How long can we expect it to be a safe home for criticism/parody?

Well this story just changed MPAA ratings.

The only information relating to S8472 wanting to 'purge' the galaxy comes from Kes - A completely unreliable and subjective source. I dont imagine many would take what a soldier says in the field to be a 100% reflection of the entire species based on the account of ONE witness. Actually, Kes learn...

How it's done.

On the original youtube video: sixty-seven million views and two comments a second. What the fuck. I guess nothing brings people together like hating on some random teenage girl.

If it can be done small, it can probably be done big. Reality disagrees. What are you talking about? I tunneled through the floor of my office three times today. It's really annoying. I thought I figured out how to go faster than light so at least I could get back to my desk fast, but it turned out...

Lonestar, what exactly makes Wikileaks not "legitimate" media?

Tito says he believes in the biblical account of Noah's ark. In that story, after God devastates the world with a flood, he makes a covenant with Noah that he will never send another. The obvious reply is that God isn't sending this flood - we are. "Saying we're going to be under the water, th...

Look at the picture linked to in the Reddit page. Scroll to the bottom.

Fascinating. Lots of threads to keep me interested, and the Draka Archonate sounds like it'll be fun to learn more about. Things I would expect of a "Draka Archonate:" A truly psychotic nationalist movement. One year, you are the lord and master of your own massive plantation; the next, y...
