Quoted from Travish:Because they are just machines?
Hey, I met a VERY friendly Funhouse once...
Quoted from ViolinSteve:New Pinside band: BlondeTall and the Shitbags. Really??? Sad to see people who are a big part of the pinball community bashing other people who are a big part of the pinball community. There is soooooo much more to Pinside than a few questionable threads. It is what you want it to be. If you want tech help, find a tech help thread. If you want to be in a discussion about the next rumored machine, find that thread. If you want to avoid any thread that could possibly offend someone, than avoid those threads. What I hate more than anything else is people bashing people. Wow. Angry people make me unhappy. Play some pinball and stop insulting each other.
You seem...angry. Offended, even.
I'm lucky that most pinball dudes are my type, gives me something to ogle while waiting in line at conventions.
Quoted from jlm33:There is. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/lgbt-friendly-zone#post-3314227
Being in the basement is *not* a punishment. Simply mean you cannot see it without being logged in.
Some of my favorite threads are basement threads.
So why is it in the basement, aka the "risque" subforum? Are LGBT people "risque"?
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I think she will end up with 2 before the night is done.
Hey, men can wear pearls too 
I stood in line at the NW Pinball Show for Big Lebowski behind a dude who must've been 6'4 and like 400lbs. I wasn't sure what to look at, the game or him. If you've got the right taste, a lot of pinball guys are pretty hunky.
Trunch, as in Trunchbull, as in the villain in Roald Dahl's Matilda. She's awesome.
Quoted from Playmatic:If it's too personal you don't have to respond. Are you a guy or a gal, Trunch? Either way, totally dig all your posts.
I'm a dude, haha.
Quoted from Playmatic:My boyfriend works out, he's got a rockin' 6-pack/beer belly mix.
What do you call that? A 6-pack covered by a 6-pack?
Hot?
Quoted from zr11990:Actually Brice Jenner is a guy that got his twig and berries cut off, wears a dress and calls himself a woman. He is not a woman.
She is a woman. She's an asshole, but she's a woman.
Quoted from zr11990:Do a DNA test. It's a guy.
Nah, sorry.
Quoted from zr11990:Lol. I just can't fathom why someone would insist that some nut that gets his junk cut off and wears a dress is actually a woman. The dude is in no way a woman call him a transsexual if you want but he is still a he just without equipment.
Yikes.
Quoted from zr11990:No,sorry. This is where you guys go off the reservation. You are taking apathy and calling it bigotry. You see I don't give two shits what they do. If a guy wants to cut off his shit and drill a hole and take hormones and grow tits I don't care. Let him do it. If I see him on the streets I will shake my head and go about my business. You are the one with your panties all in a knot about someone's rights or watever that doesn't concern you. Let them do whatever the hell they do but don't try to convince me that it is normal or that just because the guy thinks he is a woman or wants to be woman or looks like a woman that he is a woman. You see it's called TOLERANCE, which means I tolerate something. I tolerate it and go about my business and don't let it affect me. I don't have to accept it, kiss its ass or accept it as right or a fact.
Oof, yikes.
Quoted from RCA1:The problem is that the list of "Things Which Must Not Be Said" is ridiculously large, unpredictable, and eternally growing.
Like what? Gimme some examples. You must be bursting with them.
Quoted from SadSack:The words "mother" and "father" are two examples that come to my mind. Basically any word that has been replaced by a soft euphemism over the last 30 years.
Any others, besides "mother and father" (which I've never heard of)?
Quoted from SadSack:Were you raised in an orphanage? Mother is the female parent and father is the male parent.
Oh, wait, orphanage is one of the words we are talking about.
I mean, what have "mother" and "father" been replaced with? I think "orphanage" has fallen out of use partially due to cultural association and also because of the foster system. I don't think we really have orphanages like we used to (aka "Annie-esque"), either, it's more about group homes and shelters.
Quoted from jgentry:If you want to be honest there are lots of reason why pinball has more males then anything else. Men are crazy about hobbies. We all have tons of them. Men love to tinker and fix things. Men love mechanical things and taking things apart and putting them back together. Men love to collect things. And the list can go on and on. It's not all that different then classic cars. Sure there are women involved in both hobbies but both are men dominated. Hobbies like that are geared towards how our brains work. It would be like asking why is scrap booking so damn women dominated. Where are the men made quilts?
It's all social and has nothing to do with mental chemistry. Plenty of women love cars and mechanics, but right from the very start we're very specifically laying out for them the "this or that" of gender. Boys get tool sets, girls get dolls. Boys wear blue, girls wear pink. Why? It's an irrational and entirely made-up set of rules ("blue and pink" is a recent invention, too) that has nothing to do with anything besides the pre-decided cultural norms. Plenty of men quilt and plenty of women tinker, and if we weren't constantly telling children that one thing is bad and the other is good because they have a penis or a vagina then we'd have way more equality in jobs and hobbies.
The briefest summary of this is when my supervisor told our manager she was hiring a male housekeeper, and our manager, a guy, scoffed and said "that's interesting, but okay". Why is housekeeping necessarily a woman's job? What about changing a bed and vacuuming is "for women"? It's all made up.
