The issue is that, for one, I didn't give them permission to take a picture of me, and two (the main issue,) they denied having done it after I had politely requested they delete it. It's gone now, but even the comment she left pisses me off:
From my Facebook: Some *******s thought it would be funny to take a picture of me when I fell asleep in class and put it on Twitter. I asked one of them nicely to take it down, and they denied it completely. I'm going to find it and report it. Gee I love humans.
Probably not, seeing as we didn't get a Crystal remake when Heart Gold and Soul Silver were released.
MEGA RAYQUAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

Link's right here.
I'm just....so done with this... Laurence, sorry.
The last I'll mention this subject. It was one stress in which I disagreed with the rationale. I'm not telling her to feel one way or another; I'm giving my perspective. Laurence, you're free to express yourself here, but we are also free to share our own thoughts. It is a public forum, after all. I didn't mean hostility or anything.
I'm done discussing it. We're not going to convince each other; it's just clashing ideals.
Yes, I know the "it's different for women" thing was going to be used against me, but I still stand by my point: It's not as offensive as you guys are making it seem. I suspect I won't get anywhere with you guys on the matter though. I'll drop it.
I thought we were talking comics at first...
I get the difference between professional and informal but...I still ask, why are we making such a big deal out of this? It's hardly insulting, compared to "kid" or "champ," which I think are far more infantilizing. It's also a very common thing for many Americans to use, not out of disrespect but simply out of tradition, and I'm hardly the kind of guy to defend tradition in most cases. But this one, I just find it so...inoffensive. Let their actual dialogue and conversation outside of a retail environment show you their character. But with all that said, yes, I would be a little annoyed too, but not enough to be truly offended.
It probably is the same laptop from Best Buy, seeing as this is a manufacturer's refurbish. Also, if you do plan on getting a laptop for games, make sure it actually has an (at least decent) integrated GPU, though you probably know this already?
Do you know that every person making these remarks holds less-than-pure intent? No. So why let it matter to you so much? You're making it sound like you suspect every person, specifically male now, as someone untrustworthy, simply on the basis of a pet name. Think how bitter that is. It's making a mountain out of an anthill. What if someone is genuinely just wanting to be nice to you? Are they not allowed to say "hun"?
Basically that. No offense at all, you're cool to me, but in this case I think you're over dramatic. It's just being nice; no need to call it "dehumanization."
I get called this by women. Don't see an issue /shrug
Der Führer.
I think this one is only on sale at that price for 4 days.
8.1 is great.
It seems like a stripped down version of my Asus (the G550JK model,) mainly with no integrated GPU, a slower CPU, and slower HDD, but it adds a touchscreen and is, obviously hella cheaper. So I can say that the build quality is superb and it runs pretty well, especially for its price.
