  1. I don't get why everybody is talking about transsexuals. This is a male singer who dresses up as a woman as part of his act. Nothing new.

     

     

    This annoys me a little as well. Why are people saying he's transwhatever? Why can he not just be a man who enjoys dressing up in frocks and putting make-up on? Not all men who like to wear women's clothes are trans.

    That's where you got your definition of trans wrong. The trans label refers to transgender, transsexual and transvestite. If he dresses up as a woman, he's a transvestite, and because he's operating in female gender norms, he's a transgender.

     

    While it may be an "act", it doesn't mean he doesn't think of it as part of himself and his identity. I don't know if he's specified it's not an act, but I don't think you can say something doesn't fit his act. Unless he specifically says he wants to appear like a stereotypical woman, then he can have any type of gender expression in his act.


  2. I don't care about the trans aspect, but I still think the beard just did not suit the character. Good voice though.

     

    Why do you think it was a 'character act' and not the expression of her regular preferred appearance?


  3. I didn't get pissy, I assumed abrasive manner and wording of a forum post in order to satirise the abrasive manner and wording of that forum post.

     

    I just have big feet and tiny shins, I'll cop to it. But I like the idea of needing help here, enlighten me oh sagacious sartorial sage.

     

    If you know you have big feet and tiny shins, you can understand why someone would think you shouldn't wear shoes that blatantly highlight that. That's the help I'm trying to give you no matter how much sarcasm and 'satire' you keep trying to protect yourself with.


  4. What I meant by "compensating for perspective" was that in slightly concave mirrors, and depending on angle of vision there's a distortion effect that makes extremities appear elongated, hence the clown feet.

    I'm just going to ignore your little hissy fit and get back to it.

     

    I know how concave mirrors work. The style of shoes you are wearing with skinny jeans make you look like you have clown feet regardless of mirrors. Skinny jeans require specific shoes or else they look weird.

    Take this picture for example. The guy on the right has similar shoes to you and they look weird with skinny jeans. Whereas the shoes on the left don't.

     

    But hey, you asked for opinions and then got all pissy when you received some so I won't try and help you anymore.


  5. For people who have low self-control and often don't do the things that they should be doing. I've recently learned that self-control is like a muscle, and fatigues over time, and even the act of making a decision can make all other subsequent decisions more prone to self-control failure. So for example, if you find you eat really shitty fast food when you get home from work, plan what you're going to make a few hours before and then it's easier to stick to a healthier decision.

     

    There's a lot more I've learnt, especially since I've done a final year module on it, have an essay due soon and an exam on it also due soon, so if people want to know more I can count is as studying ;)


  6. So, Baelish killed the old hand of the king and suggested the Lannisters did it to get Ned there so he can discover that Joffrey isn't the kings son, framed Tyrion for trying to kill Bran so they'd capture him and pretty much set everything up to start the war.

     

    I suppose the main thing he didn't expect was the Red Wedding, as he likely wanted Catelyn alive.

     

     

    I found it very odd that Jon Snow and the knights watch mentioned that it was a new moon, and that they shouldn't go near that hut because there were supposedly hounds that would smell them and alert the others.

     

    And what do they do? Well,they charge in single file while screaming. Does Jon Snow know nothing about tactics or stealth?

    The one that was plotting to take Bran away was the one that talked about the hut. He told them there were hounds there so that Jon wouldn't see Bran and the guy could take Bran back as he planned.

     

    Also, since I don't read the books I don't care at all if the show does things that doesn't happen in the books. Then there's less dangers of spoilers if the book readers are behind.


  7. Wow! Well done. What is it that you will be doing?

     

    Direct sales customer advisor, which is basically a phone role where I advise customers on certain things. Also during the interview, they said I was so good I made their day, which I thought was ridiculous. I'm so happy though!


  8. Did you mean something else, or did you conflate two entirely different things (twitch, a service to stream gaming of any length, and "quick gaming")?

     

    I could be misinterpreting as it's late and I should be in bed :heh:

     

    Twitch as in a quick spasm? Which can also mean quick and impulsive as an adjective, such as twitch decision and twitch response.


  9. Great stuff.

     

    Still, Dog-amoto has a point, some people would just pick up a pipe or whatever and fight no matter how stupid it would be. Fight or flight response...Anyway, I'm not interested in this either. I hate games where you are totally helpless and constantly running away, it's like you're playing a nightmare...

     

    They could have you pick up a pipe in the game for peace of mind, but it would work for nothing more than throwing to make a noise at a distance, and Ripley's daughter knows that. If anything it slows you down and adds to the danger of making unwanted noises.


  10. It's a weird pose but it's clear they wanted to emphasise her chest and her bum when shooting so I ain't complaining :D

     

    I don't get how that pose in any way emphasises her bum.

    Oh my god, they've distorted his back into unnatural, fatal lengths just to emphasise his chest.

     

    :indeed:
