I'm just excited when someone adds me as a contact. I'm not going to complain even if you say you're my kin and my sweetheart.

Dammit grouse! I hadn't lost The Game in months. I guess since I last saw content by that person whose username is You Just Lost the Game. Ooh, that guy makes me so mad.

I always put in 1/1, too! Except that's my birthday.

This is neat. Now all we need is for our contacts sidebar to change every time someone updates their relationship status. That's how the kids do it, right?

I may not have knitting anxiety but I do have anxiety cats.

I'd also like a way to filter out questions by tag.

This is super rad, thanks!

SlyBevel, I've had that same thought before, about writing style. There have been a couple of anonymous questions where I've been able to reasonably figure out the asker's identity, though I figure that is just a function of how much time I spend here.

When I ask anonymous questions I take pains to remove any written tics -- things like overuse of em dashes (and parentheses) -- that might identify me. Of course, I'm overly paranoid and likely no one would even... [more]

The good news for overweight people is that, very often, getting into a healthy diet plan and increasing exercise will help you lose weight.

Oh my god, are you serious? Is it really that simple? Here I thought it was going to be a production.

Tragically, it is impossible to tell at a glance who is simply eating too much and who has a genuine physiological origin to their obesity.... [more]

I would like to do this. The online secret santas and craft swaps I've done before are run by someone with a spreadsheet who sends emails with addresses to the givers, if anyone is concerned about privacy.

Anyway -- I think this would be best suited to a greasemonkey application, much like that one script that has a killfile that I keep meaning to install.

Thank you for this. I missed out on the earlier thread somehow but I made my way through most of it last night. Just to add another datapoint: I've been a member of Metafilter since 2001. I met my husband through the site, for God's sake. Barring odd circumstances like vacation or lack of internet access, I've read the site every day. Every single day.

I very, very rarely participate in the blue any more because I'm sick of this shit. Things like the comic about... [more]

Devils rancher, I apologize for mis-reading your statement. However, please recognize that shrill and oversensitive are code words that are often specifically tossed at women in order to minimize their concerns. Hysterical is another.

gnfti, I don't see how you can say that we are in a post-sexist age and in the next breath say that "tranny cunt" is anywhere near appropriate. If we were in a post-sexist age, then that insult wouldn't hold any water. But we're not, and I have a feeling you're being disingenuous.

It's masculine. The feminine of "asshole" is "bitch."

Wrong. The feminine of asshole is... asshole. Bitch is a gendered insult.
posted to MetaTalk by sugarfish at 3:16 PM on November 24, 2007

Frankly, that's how I use it, as does much of my social circle. Of course, I had to make the conscious choice to give up a gendered insult, but that's just me.

Bugbread, you're right. I just went back and read the Jade Raymond thread and I think my memory of it was worse than the reality. I have no problem with a frank discussion of whether or not something is sexist. (Or homophobic, racist, ageist, etc etc.)

If you had watched the documentary, you'd know that LOLcats were started by Happycat. Sadly, he is now dead, so you can't kick him in the groin.

I like how there's a good split in here between real pictures and funny pictures. Maybe one day I will go for the funny pictures, Wbut today I have real picture with vignette crop. It's a variation on the fat girl angle shot.

We went to the Farmers' Market and the Art Center, among other things.
