I'm Christian. Video games, punk rock, nerdy things, writing, and bitching. Talk to me, we'll party.

EXCEPT… Sheldon doesn’t have aspergers, that is purely anti-fan speculation.
Bernadette is hot AND smart, so is Leslie Winkle. Leslie also embodies some typical feminist ideologies. Both Bernadette and Leslie are successful scientists, who are shown to be smarter than the boys a lot of time. So where’s this sexism that you’re complaining about?
Penny was never stupid, she just didn’t understand nerdy things, you know, the same way most people are in real life. She’s shown to actually be pretty intelligent, underestimated because of her looks, and she grows into understanding the geeky things the main characters are into. BESIDES, who are you to judge who is hot and who isn’t on that show? 
It doesn’t talk down to its audience. It does, however, make the show understandable and relatable for the average viewer. Is it the perfect embodiment of nerdiness? No. But a show of that caliber would only have a niche demographic. I’m a nerd, I get the jokes. I have non-nerdy friends who get some jokes and references and completely miss others, so it doesn’t “hand you” every piece of information. There are also references and jokes I don’t understand.
I certainly don’t feel smarter after watching a TV show, and if that’s what you’re looking for, then that’s your problem, not the show’s. I do, however, feel a little bit of acceptance and joy because there’s a show making jokes someone like me can understand, as opposed to typical sports and patriarchal-based sitcoms.
So, nice try guys, but most of your arguments don’t hold any water.

Okay seriously Xbox One looks horrible and everything I keep reading is just getting worse and worse. The only positive thing is the new controller, which seems pretty decent, and the new Kinect commands, but honestly, do we really need those?

Just the simple fact that you won’t be able to loan your Xbox One games to friends and family members without them having to pay full price again for a game that is already in their hands is FUCKING MINDBLOWING. Like I can’t even come up with appropriate adjectives to describe the diluted fuckbag who thought that was a good idea.

Friends, here is the Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk, and the product created such an impression on me, I decided to review it. 
Click on the photo above and check the first review. You won’t be disappointed.
“My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I’m driving. “You’ll hit another pedestrian,” he says. “This isn’t the Enterprise, there isn’t a deflector array.” Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It’s so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you’ve got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate”

Again, actual best person ever George Takei.
