Gods, sometimes just walking down the street reminds me of how happy I am not to have to interact with people.
I'm really not dressed particularly strangely today: White tennis shoes, Pacific Rim chefwear, black T-shirt, and black corporate vest. But as I passed the BART station an older woman started staring at me, so I smiled and nodded, and she scowled and said, "I can't tell whether that's a man or a woman!"
Then as I walked by she said again, "Seriously, I can't!"She was obviously trying to get a rise out of me, and I thought it was just depressing: How can you go through life being so bitter and hostile towards your fellow humans? What would she have done if I'd taken offense and attacked her?
It was just a mindless, angry, unkind, stupid thing for her to do. And as I said, I was far sadder than madder at her behavior: What must it be like to live in such a bitter world?
Something similar happened to my neighbor and I the other day when we were walking together, some guy started questioning my neighbors gender loudly and rudely as well as then adding slurs, at first I figured he must just seem like he was talking to my neighbor but was really talking to me because I actually am transgender but then he acknowledged me as well by catcalling me.
Once he was well behind us my neighbor exploded with a "What the hell was that?" Rant.
For me it was super bizarre and wrong but on so many levels I couldn't really even begin to suss it out.
We settled on the realization that apparently if you are slightly androgynous like my neighbor a*+$&#+s give you flak for being transgender but if you are transgender but pass as female really well you're just another women on the street to be harassed.
Glad we figured that out, now if you'll excuse me I'm off to build my super weapon to cleanse the filth that is humanity off the face of the...
well.
I know who I am going to be visiting with my flaming bag of dog poop now.
Of course I'll be naked. Wouldn't you?

Yeah the general consensus is that I should have clocked her to make her fearful of spreading such hate to those less thick-skinned than I.
But, "Yes, officer, I know I have 80 pounds and 20 years on her and 8 years of martial arts training, but I honestly thought she was a threat," doesn't seem like it would fly...
EDIT: Though I did find it charming that GothBard tried to reassure me that I don't come across as feminine. I've been an iconoclast for nearly 40 years. Attacking me over my appearance is pretty much the last possible way you'll get a rise out of me.

Well, my whole issue with the entire Infinity War thread is that Thanos clearly failed basic mathematics and biology.
"I kill half the population of the universe!"
"OK. It's been 20 years. The universe is repopulated. Nice job, moron!"Thanos is an idiot. I just cannot overcome that, so I haven't watched any of the movies.

He's called the Mad Titan for a reason. He's the bad guy. Having a flawed but understandable motivation is good. (Way better than being after a goth girlfriend.)Hey, hey now!

Oh, don't hit her. Just mess with her.
"...you know what, sir, neither can I. Please help me. I haven't been able to use the bathroom for weeks." And slowly walk toward her.
scint. Stop being chaotic good.

Would she be even impressed with attempts to woo her with mass slaughter anyway?
I've finally come to realize why I hate Slack so much: It's Facebook for corporations.
In a nutshell, it's a chat program. But it's a chat program that lets you send images and attachments and set up chat groups. Big deal.
Pidgin is running on my computer taking 13 MB, 0% CPU, and 0% GPU.
Slack is running on my computer taking 850 MB, 1% CPU, and 1% GPU.Why on Earth do I need 850 MB to run a CHAT program?!?!?!?
Grr.....

If anything, it's Lawful Evil. I'm advocating something that breaks no laws of any sort, turning her own guidelines against her, and leaving lasting psychological scars.

I dunno...one doesn't have to break laws to be chaotic good per se. But this DOES make me think about lawful evil differently. Interesting viewpoint. Hmm.

And making a roaring 20s horror rpg where you are a poor immigrant who just arrived in America, armed with ancient occult knowledge from the old country, and must survive these horrific parties as a servant.

John Wick is a shoot 'em up, isn't it?
As a broad generalization, yes. There's a lot more going on than just that though. The lighting, the way it's filmed as long action scenes rather than tons of changing edits, mirror shots (people in the frame solely because of mirrors), etc.
The original is frequently summed up as "man goes on rampage because a thug killed his dog and stole his car". It's not about that.
Where is everybody?
The kitchen.

Every easter, some TV executive things the same thing. Oh, cute movie about bunnies. We need more kids movies early morning on tv as the kids have a holliday from school.
And a new generation of traumatized kids is born.
