I think I'm still hung over from Pride last year.

Seriously, I walked around most of that weekend drunkenly yelling, "I'm not wearing any pants!" (I was).
If that's not on topic, I don't know what is.
Sadly, I will be out of town for a wedding. A boring, straight wedding. Boo!

Also, it warms my grinchy heart to hear mathowie say he can spot boneheaded sexist comments a mile away now.

Maybe we can ask DaShiv for the pics from the time he was here as a six-month anniversary present.

I will go wherevs but also recall folks that Luminato starts on Friday so the world will be packed but there may also be some potential for happyfuntimes and/or hijinks.

A-hem, I ran into Don Valley Girl on the subway and she seemed more in the maybe category. Just to ensure that we maintain the integrity of the roll call here.

While I know that this is doing nothing to help my [MAYBE EASTIST] reputation, I don't think I'm going to come tonight after all. I'm too tired, too broke. Next time, darlings!

I'm back to "maybe" category. The day wasn't as punishing as I thought it would be, a nap later today may bring me back to full speed. This is what happens when I post in the morning...heh.

Yeah it's pretty thrilling. I guess this means he gets to marry your daughter. So you'd better pony up some oxen, too, maybe 50 or so? Inflation is tough on the old bride price these days, amirite?

MeTa post:
What gives?
I think what bothers me a lot about this primary (both here and in a general sense) is that you have identity politics being fought over by a lot of people who don't own those identities. For example, I know several Hillary supporters (not *here* just to be clear) who deeply distrust/distance themselves from the label of feminism or who even deny that our society has a deeply patriarchal bent. These are women who insist "eew I'm not a feminist" or guys who call feminists all kinds of... [more]

I think that someone fancies themselves a playwright. Well, color me unconvinced.

Self-link/Spam fighting
I signed up in 2005 and amassed hundreds of favorites in anticipation of this very moment, where I could finally slip by the mods' watchful eyes to say:

Since the mods are all US-ian, I am happy to take over the Canadian Am-beer-sador coverage. However, as I like in Toronto I think the entire country is encompassed between the lake and St. Clair, so there's room for others to step up to the plate there, too.

Weird, people don't know about whoopie pies? Come to think about it, the only time I've ever seen them has been when I lived in New England. This is a very illuminating MeTa thread for me.

Not funny.
Yes, Ubu...clearly the problem is my callout style, as opposed to people shitting in threads that they clearly have no interest in. My callout style could have been less antagonistic and the comments in that thread would still be completely indefinsible.
I wasn't aware of a Mefi policy where people acting like idiots needed to be given a MeTa calllout which makes it easiest for the troll to make excuses for themselves. It's not fucking acceptable. You flat-out admit... [more]

We are a Paragon
From Freakonomics, on the level of comment moderation, "YouTube has virtually none, while MetaFilter has very little." Really? It sounds like they mean things aren't watched closely here, but I think more things stand here without needing deletion than on other sites. On YouTube they don't even bother, if they sifted out all the chaff they'd be left with... no comments.
Perhaps the more passive the site, the easier it is to fly by without being engaged with the... [more]

This is chatfilter, AMIRITE folks?
Yeah, I feel antsy when people want to amass artifacts of misogyny (or any group hatred - racism, anti-semitism, etc). Because, it's like, what are you going to do with them? Burn them all in the city square? Or like, just pile them up and shine them up and show off how truly horrible, how sincerely detestable they are (with shining, glittering eyes)? I think that if you really buy into the idea that misogyny is everywhere you should have no trouble finding it. And if you don't, no one... [more]

I'm going to be in town the weekend of the 28th and there may be a MetaChat meetup brewing for friday or saturday of that weekend. So possibly we could amalgamate the two?

Yessss! Everything's coming up SassHat!
To sweeten the deal, if I can get an accurate head count before the meetup, I will come bearing Canadian-type presents.
No, it's not health care. Sorry. They won't let us take it over the border.

Ok based on how the thread is going, I propose Friday the 28th at around 7:30-8pm.
Place to be determined by people who actually know the city (central is better, I would assume?).
Del Far, usually the person who posts the thread gets to pick a place. Where would you like to meet? The best Mefi meetups I've been to have been a low key restaurants or quiet(er) bars where food is also served. Central and easy to get to is good as far as location goes.

at 3:03 PM on March 11, 2008
I'd just like everyone to know, for the record, that I am an affirmed member of Team Vag and therefore not a "him." Del Far wouldn't have known this though.
I am going to ask around and try to scare down a location. Suggestions are welcome, I'm going to go ahead and sidebar it now so that it doesn't get lost now that it's off the front page of MeTa.

That sounds AWESOME. I love dumplings. Also, the further downtown the better - my hotel's in the financial district. :P
So it is - Congee Village. 7:30 is good but I may be slightly late due to acts of god or traffic. Hopefully someone will be down for a beer after food.

Huh, weird, a friend of mine was just telling me to check out UCB. I think it depends on the timing of food, etc.
Perhaps we can try to get a count so we can make a reservation?

From the sounds of it we will be at Congee Village, across the street at the dumpling place or around the corner eating gelato. Can you tell where my priorities lie?

Meetup! What time? Where?
While we're talking about meetup ponies, it would be nice if people could add a meetup so that they get a little MeMail prod reminding them about it. I've missed a couple TO meetups from this. Or, conversely, let people "join" a meetup but have that give the OP the ability to message everyone attending in one go.

To toss in my two bits - sansgras' posts have been red flagged for me since I first read the cell phone post, at which point I went back and read some of her other posts, at which point I made a mental note to watch for more posts from her.
