The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The whole idea of “Girlfriend plays x game!” is so unbelievably absurd in the worst kind of way. As if “girlfriends” aren’t the type of people to play or like video games or could possibly be a gamer due to their relationship title/identity.
