That's literally the context of this post. The picture implies that women prefer men who punch Nazis over the 5 symbols used by men who typically support fascism.

I saw a documentary recently that claimed that one of the reasons the Mongols were so successful was that they attacked in the middle of winter. So for most people fighting in the cold was unthinkable, but for the Mongols it was Tuesday.

You can do a quick web search for the etymology of some of the words, but since it's slang, and sex slang at that, it's mostly speculation and difficult to find an irrefutable source.

Even the word blow in blowjob has several possible origins. It could be from the Latin fellatus - to suck, move air with your mouth, blow. Or it could be blow like explode, as in orgasm. Or it could be from Victorian era prostitutes who used the term 'below job'.

It was my understanding that the names for these things came about to help facilitate negotiations with prostitutes, which would make them jobs. These actions didn't require names in any other social context because missionary was the only socially acceptable sex act and anything else was simply "sin".

This isn't a capitalist failing, it's a religious failing.

Yeah, the industry seems to be changing again. There's a push towards passion projects and those projects are seeing more success than the big budget games. I think we will either see a new cycle of conglomeration or, hopefully, we will see the executives take a more hands-off approach and let the games make money for them.

Just because you own a sports team doesn't mean you should be head coach.

I mean, kind of, but not really.

It all started with Halo. Back in the late 90s and early 00s the movie industry was the big money maker of entertainment and there was actually a lot of anti-gaming rhetoric in news and politics. The weekend Halo 3 released it was so popular that it disrupted the box office numbers for a couple of movies. The movie executives decided to stop trying to kill the gaming industry and take it over instead.

So I guess you can blame millennials for playing Halo instead of going to the movies that weekend.
