Nope, I have no idea why Hotmail would suddenly decide to put a block on our IP address. I've applied to have it removed and been told it would be within 24 - 48 hours.

No way of knowing.

BioShock is cool and fun if anyone wanted my extremely detailed and unique opinion

@Amethyst your problem is unrelated to Amaury's. Unfortunately it appears that Hotmail blocks all emails sent from KH-Vids. I've applied to be removed from their block list, but in the meantime, you can just change to a different email provider. I've issued a notice on the site to warn all users that use a hotmail address.

@Mako I've found some error info related to you not receiving the emails and forwarded it along to Josh. Will post again when I get an update from him (should be within 24 hours).

I can pretty much guarantee that where I live will be underwater in the next 100 years.

yeah I will basically never be hit by a tornado

hurricanes however are gonna kill us all soon

No not at all! We like talkative guests and I don't think any of us felt you were intruding. P: I love all of our guests equally but I had a lot of fun this episode.

It's good to practice the two because they're most common (though I personally loathe APA). I study English so MLA is my standard and it's what most people are accustomed to. In academics, it's usually dictated by your field. For non-academic writing I don't adhere to anything because I don't care that much. If you're interested in applying standards of style to your every day writing / typing and you don't want to be bogged down by all the **** in style manuals, or just want to understand grammar better, I highly recommend The Elements of Style.

See this is where I'd like to reference the Chicago Manual of Style because I don't think the example given on that website is correct. The author is saying that adverbial prepositional phrases should be capitalized, but "up the mountain" is an adverbial phrase -- it describes where the subject walked (a verb). Moreover, I can't find any other website on Chicago headline-style capitalization that distinguishes adverbial and adjectival phrases -- about.com seems to have the direct quote "prepositions, regardless of length, are lowercased unless they are the first or last word of the title." There may very well be more to it than that in the manual but I don't have a copy nor do I know it well (I use MLA in academics).

Adjectives modify nouns. Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs (but if you're using adverbs to modify other adverbs then your writing has waaaay more problems than just capitalization). That should help a bit with your confusion, but honestly there's no one concrete rule on how to capitalize prepositions in the English language -- it depends on which stylistic manual you're adhering to. I don't have access to the Chicago Manual of Style atm so I can't cross reference what the article you linked is speaking about but:

Basically just pick whatever you prefer and go along with that. Unless you're publishing academic or literary material it doesn't matter. I prefer sentence case for titles on the internet anyway.

Have fun Jayn (and SynK) and good luck at work! I'm totally familiar with the whole wake up > go to work > come home > netflix > sleep routine these days, just try not to get too burnt out & all. Stay fresh ~

Made some changes & tested it with a watched forum -- let me know if it is working for you all again (@Mako and @Amethyst). Just make sure to check your spam folders.

Yeah I just got a chance to test and it doesn't seem to be working. I'll take a look at error logs & email Jon hopefully tonight.

I understand this completely but it's extremely difficult for any activist to not grow bitter or angry. many of them begin very active, inspired, and idealistic, but when they're faced with slow progress, resistance, ignorance, when their cause is dismissed... it's extremely difficult to hold onto that positivity. when I became involved in the feminist movement particularly through my school I was also disturbed by how many of the people in it, my professors especially, seemed bitter and that they had little patience for doing what you say they should be doing. but I've come to realize that it's bc these women have spent 10, 20, 30, even 40 years involved in this movement and -- not to say they have not accomplished anything, they most certainly have -- but they're still fighting many of the same battles they have been since the 60s. they're still facing many of the same types of oppression. it's difficult to stay positive in that situation. and I'm not excusing what some of those women turn that into -- treating the privileged and ignorant and those who misunderstand the movement with vitriol -- but I pity them. they're tired and fed up and the world is constantly trying to convince them that their cause is unimportant and ****. it's really sad.

it's great that you can say that you don't recognize gender or sexuality or at least don't discriminate based upon it. you can definitely jive in feminist circles.but you have to recognize -- which I think you do in this post -- how lucky you are to not have gender or sexuality be a problem in your life. and like I said I think you definitely do based upon this post but part of feminism is being aware of your privilege and not allowing it to blind you -- that is, not saying that there is no cause to fight just because you personally have been lucky enough not to face these problems (which you never said at all, not accusing you of that)

blurred lines is gross
but it's not really that fuzzy. coercion =/= consent, an intoxicated person legally cannot consent. in those situations, if the person feels it was rape then they can take the necessary legal action -- but you also have to keep in mind how few rapes are actually reported and how few people are actually CONVICTED of rape

pressure upon men to fit into a hyper masculinized mold is patriarchy and it's something that feminism absolutely works on. feminism is also concerned with eliminating discrimination based on not only gender but sexuality and race as well. it's an extremely broad movement that has grown to encompass many other social causes. in fact, it began in the us as part of the abolitionist movement in the 19th century (and splintered for various reasons but that is beside the point). it deals with poverty, privilege, basically any form of oppression because feminists want to eliminate oppression in all forms -- not just in regards to women. I would of course say that I am a humanist, and egalitarian, but I'm also a feminist. to be the first two you must also be the third in my mind. it's not about placing one cause above the other -- though people can certainly choose to focus on one form of activism in their lives --and it's not a title that is mutually exclusive with humanism. I don't know why you would think that. but again, it does -- and must -- retain the title feminism for reasons that article explains

the point is that we maybe we should be promoting how to stop people from raping others rather than teaching people (primarily women) how not to get raped. a horrifying number of male college students surveyed have a fundamental misunderstanding of what consent is and rape victims are constantly asked whether they "encouraged" the behavior. hell ****ing no

feminism isn't as simple or myopic as dealing with casual bullying; it's about addressing the systematic disenfranchisement of women

it's basically explaining feminism in baby language to ppl who don't understand it. highlight passages/parts being:

patriarchy is a broad term but we're referring to a specific efect of it here; it refers to a society dominated by males, which we all live in. components of patriarchy include teaching women that their self-worth is determined by attracting male attention. it's true that many women become aware of that and work against it, developing their own sense of confidence and self-worth, but that is far from the norm; psychology and sociology both teach us what pervasive & heavy influence society has upon our development. to downplay that is simply wrong. women can do all of those things as in they have the ability to -- but the odds are not stacked in their favor when every magazine, tv show, movie, etc. is contrary to that

same, where the **** is kool music 5

I THINK IMMA B POSTIN A NEW CHAPTER IN MY FANFICTION SOON YO. AS MY ONLY READER, PLEASE BE EXCITED™

im way too tired / bored of repeating this ad infinitum to explain in depth & detail but feminism is arguing for the same things that "humanists" and "egalitarians" are; it is, categorically, an egalitarian movement. however, it holds a specific focus on gender and sexuality, hence the fem- prefix. go ahead and call yourself a humanist and an egalitarian, but if you want to be either of those, you're gonna have to be a feminist too. deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

feminism is cool anyway why wouldn't you want to be One of Us
