posted by vito90 If you're monogamous from birth and could never, would never, consider an alternative in your relationship then maybe you're not the best person to answer this question. Why? Because what answer could you possibly have other than DTMFA?
Perhaps something like, "Relationships involve compromise, and the question for all parties involved is the degree to which each person is willing to compromise about... [more]

posted by cortex There's (very roughly) two camps of people who use the word "polyamory"
I'm going to need, at the bare minimum, a Venn diagram.

posted by dios I said I don't care about who is fucking who. I don't judge such people nor criticize them. Hope they are having fun. What I was commenting is the linguistic bullshit of calling it that. It strikes me as silly. A term is chosen (with nice greek roots) in an attempt to normalize or cast it as new from of relationship.

Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
posted by Blazecock Pileon What's even more shocking is that not one of them, not one, is actually guilty of breaking any law. Amazing.
So Lynndie England and Charles Graner were innocent? Amazing!

Thank goodness dbiedny is here to set us back on the narrow path to righteousness by admonishing us with his unique style of shrieking, overwrought, and sanctimonious outrage that sounds exactly like the braying honk of a jackass.

McCain's extraterritorial birth
This debate is even dumber than the first time Rush Limbaugh brought it up.

From Wikipedia:
McCain faced two experienced state legislators in the Republican nomination process, and as a newcomer to the state was hit with repeated charges of being a carpetbagger. Finally at a candidates forum he gave a famous refutation to a voter making the charge:
“Listen, pal. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My father was in the Navy. My grandfather was in the Navy. We in the military service tend to move a lot. We have to live... [more]

Converting a logo to a font
If the logo was created from an existing typeface, it might be easier to simply figure out what the font is. If you send me the logo, I'll take a look at it. My email is in my profile--matt at fandango dot net.

Help me grieve for my pug
My wife and I are probably going to meet her parents at the vet tonight to euthanize her wonderfully sweet and chirpy cat that her mother brought home 20 years ago as a stray kitten. It's terrible, because we're losing a member of the family. I have tears in my eyes as I am typing this, and I just wanted to offer you my sympathies.

Help me find a good Logo!
I'm a graphic designer and art director. I've worked for large design firms and I've designed identities, brands, and websites for several large corporations, and I've done independent work for small companies and groups (like churches) and a few MeFites. I'd be happy to work with you, or I can refer you to another designer. My email is in my profile--matt at fandango dot net.

Before you spend money at Worth1000 or any other "spec" (speculative) work site at which you set up a "contest" for your logo design, you should be aware you'll get what you pay for. The problem with holding a logo design... [more]

I'm picturing Ralph Nader in a rest home, clattering noisily with his walker toward the podium at dinner hour and announcing he's running for president. He teeters there for a few minutes, saying the Republicans are just like the Democrats and the only way we'll ever have fresh rolls with the beef stew is to elect him, and then two orderlies gently usher him to...

All the Kirk you can eat
posted by tkchrist I love TOS so much. But one thing I just can't excuse. The fight choreography was terrible. I mean REALLY terrible.
But it has so many wonderful and unexpected surprises, like when Kirk's pants split open during the fight scene in The Savage Curtain!
Also, The Gamesters of Triskelion contains one of the best Kirk lines: "Stop! You're... [more]

I want to know what MetaFilter is thinking.
posted by andythebean It seems as though there are two (somewhat) conflicting ideas about what will happen if polls are allowed.
1. Having polls will hurt the quantity and quality of conversation.
2. Threads discussing the polls would be obnoxiously long and prevalent.
Which is it?
It's #3: Polls are stupid, pointless, a complete waste of space and time, and if you think posting a bunch... [more]

The Promised Land
posted by Artnchicken In college I got to experience making Polaroid transfers and I'd like to try that again.
Image transfers are one of the reasons I picked up a Polaroid camera--here (self-link) are some of mine. Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like more information.

posted by tommasz You can still get pack film and many of those old cameras are perfectly usable. The only gotcha on some of them is the oddball batteries they use. You can get them, but they're not cheap and not stocked at Radio Shack.
I had the same complaint, so I soldered in a new battery box and a new set of leads so my Polaroids could use standard, over-the counter batteries.
