We're not so backwards after-all!
When you talking about? I live in Memphis but will be passing through the Jackson area Saturday. Also might be in the area other times. Supposed to pick-up a bicycle from my Uncle who live in Jackson sometime soon. Maybe I coordinate the two.

Cool addition. Thanks Matt. I think knowing someone's age can help when you read a comment and are trying to interpret where the commenter is coming from. At least it sometimes can give you some insight.

Thanks to some awesome, loving MeFites
Just when I'm becoming convinced this place is infested with the highest per capita percentage of assholes on earth (including me) something shows up to remind me that at the center of the Meta world are a load of kind hearted people.
Best wishes to you, nickyskye

Ads
I'm surprised that many MeFites wouldn't find it ironic and funny that a Coulter ad showed up in an FPP about what many probably see as further evidence of the criminal nature of the Bush administration.

So Who Stands Where?
my good friend dios: can you link me to someplace, either on metafilter or elsewhere on the wider web, where you have "spotted bullshit" from some "hyperbolic partisan(s)" as far to the right as you perceive the partisans here to be "to the left", and provided an appropriately thorough demolition of that person('s/s') arguments?
I don't know that dios would ever have had the opportunity to have spotted any... [more]

NOT raining on florence....honest!
Justin Wilson is my second cousin twice removed and my right elbow has been between Cybil Sheppard's ass cheeks. (Bit of an exaggeration. She was singing at a benefit dinner and dancing around among the tables. I had my hand on the arm of my chair such that my elbow was sticking out and she vigorously backed into it.)

AskMeFi, not JudgeMeFi
I think the genders involved do affect the responses at least partly because the genders seem to react differently to the situation. I'm male and if I'm in a certain mood or state of mind the fact that my SO has ever slept with even one other person in her life kind of tweaks me. I know it is totally irrational but this little spurt of jealous hurt kind of rises and, thankfully, quickly passes. I've had male friends (mostly in my younger years) who were much, much worse. With few exceptions the... [more]

Subject from MeFi thread #58058 Appearing on CNN
This intertubes thing and Matt's little creation might just catch on. I don't know if it's a good thing but some of the most interesting and exciting things I've experienced over the that last few years have occurred right here on MetaFilter. Thanks Matt, it's been well worth the 5 spot.

Most in the legal profession would argue that judgment is the correct spelling and that judgement is an "accepted" spelling. In fact the spelling checker I have installed in Firefox indicates judgement as a misspelling. There is a spelling note in this wiki article.

You're complaining about superscripts and carets???!!!! What really pisses me off are those people who use the fancy Scandinavian, Icelandic apostrophe-like squiggle things like they are all important and know something I don't like how to pronounce that shit. I'm not sure if anyone has ever done that here but if they do and I find out I'm gonna raise some hell!!!

Was high school really this complicated? It's...
As someone who graduated from high school almost 30 years ago and has two sons who graduated from high school in the last five years it seems to me that the general level of complication among the early teens to early twenties age group has increased geometrically. I don't remember worrying about much other than girls, cars, alcohol and getting out on my own when I was that age. There were some kids with problems but few, if any, were taking anything for depression or ADD or seeing a therapist.... [more]

I take angst to mean "anxiety" or "anguish." We might have invented getting drunk, screaming for the hell of it and putting on a fuck the system I ain't participating attitude but I don't remember being anxious or in misery and don't associate punk rock with either. The Clash didn't seem anxious to me.

Call out or not, lame or not, davy and languagehat have been nothing but well behaved. If there has been any "this will not end well" kind of behavior it has been on the part of those criticizing the post. At least I learned from tonylord that homeopathy was a Christian belief (???). I always though that was something those damned dirty hippies were in to. (And what happened to spell check? I had to paste into Word to discover there is no S in criticizing).

IIHAA: I wasn't calling him a sock puppet. I just seem to remember insomnia_lj getting a timeout or something and then a lot of insomnia_lj-like post/comments showing up with the Unregistered User ID. I could most definitely be wrong.
