Ah man, just blew orange juice all over my keyboard

So if I dress in drag and put fruit down my shirt, will people like my painting more?

On a more serious note, my theory for the Tyranids and Lizardmen is that, amongst most armies, they appear to be the most gender neutral, where most armies a very masculine. Though the flaw with this logic is that most girls I know who play have an Ork army. you don't get more masculine than that.

"Fratboy" is not a term that is used to define any male who happens to be a member of a fraternity, it is a term used to describe a male who may belong to a fraternity and who behaves in a particular manner.

That's like saying "Oh, chicks are so stupid and annoying. But you're a girl, It's different. You're not a chick." It is the terminology used that is equally inappropriate, whether intentional or not.

The negative connotation and instant judgement is there, and the wording is poor. Lumping in an entire demographic with one's stereotype of "who is douchey usually" is inappropriate.

Well what's the limit here? I mean i had a roommate that was kind of like a 'scumbag steve' meme. He's a drug addict that does heroin now. He's the reason my current roommate now drinks (he got him to start drinking again). When i lived with said guy he always made the microwave messy and left dishes loaded in the sink completely dirty with flies and sh*t going all over them. He was basically the douchiest douche in all of douche-dom. He even managed to get a drug dealer to call up the house and threaten to kill everybody until he got his money from said roommate and of course despite getting everybody to let him off the hook he kept doing drugs and now does heroin. He used to be fat and now has lost all his weight (due to heroin). His dad also basically is super rich and he never gets caught doing drugs or destroying a car he's given. Admittedly he does work for stuff (somehow he used to be a waiter even with his drug addiction) but he's gotten a ton of free sh*t from his dad that he's destroyed or sold for drugs. After a point it really doesn't matter this dude is just a total waste of space and he just doesn't get caught. At some point the dude is going to over-dose. I'd really like to call the cops on the dude but of course my roommate would be super sad then. Anyway my current roommate is going to move out soon anyway so i'll never have to hear about this other roommate i had ever again (they were friends but mostly because my current roommate doesn't go out to meet anybody so he only has like a couple choices for his friends).

All that said this drug doing roommate was at times nice. He's a douche that only cares for himself but he didn't beat people up or insult them or anything. He also seemed to be incredibly stupid. So yeah there's my rant.

I do judge people and i'll admit it but i give them a shot. Usually i roll my eyes when i see them but i'll give them a shot. Sometimes a dude might have piercings all over his face and be pretty nice actually. Sometimes somebody is really quiet and they hide some really weird BDSM fetish and used to be into death metal and had the supposed 'punk' look. I mean yeah i won't lie and say i don't judge people at all. I give them a shot but i do expect certain behaviors at times.
