MeFi post: Demonstration over MetaFilter

An angry demonstration over the angry demonstration over Metfilter


When I clicked on that, all their signs said "Netdisaster."

MeFi post: DeBeers Lawsuit
I don't know about anyone else, but I wanted a diamond engagement ring when I was a little girl. Not because OMG TRADITION or OMG PRETTY, but because of Superman.

There's a comic I read back then, I can't remember which one (all I remember was that it was old) in which Superman falls into a forest and ends up under the care of some old guy who had been blinded by cataracts. As a gift for nursing him back to health, Superman takes two lumps of coal and squeezes them... [more]

MeFi post: The Manners Manifesto
A customer and his mother(?) had an issue during the Christmas season. I couldn't fix it for them; there was just no way to circumvent the problem at all. The guy says, "Boy, we've been getting bad customer service at a lot of places lately." I apologized that we could do nothing for them regarding their issue and was soon on my way back to the offices to finish some work I had to do.

I've had bad customer service at a grand total of two places in the... [more]

MeFi post: a theory on why we really dream
I get that. I’ve punched a lot. Sometimes I feel like I can’t hit hard enough. Or my punches are full strength, but it’s like hitting a soft but unyielding surface (whatever form the pursuer takes).

Me too. I actually had a dream like this last night, where I was fighting off pursuers, one of whom was this girl I really dislike. She kept coming after me and I kept trying to punch her in the face. I'd wind up and let fly, but it's like I was just... [more]

I like the soymilk wallet, but I could do without the Preachy McCruelty testimony in the beginning.

Good post, I love this DIY stuff.

MeFi post: I love you, Dad!
The best thing my dad ever did for me was teach me how to get boys, albeit indirectly. How, you may ask? He taught me about cars, and about mechanics and electronics, and how to take them apart to find out what's wrong. And he taught me how to enjoy it.

I get bonus points with most men because I'm not afraid to get up to my elbows in grease. Thanks, Dad! :D

I really like the plastic rug idea. Give 'em to kids playing "house" (not House. "Mommy says differential diagnosis is bullshit!"), or use them for camping, or portable pet beds. That's so cool. Great post!

MeFi post: Sleep is where Ralph is a Viking
God, I love the Frankenstein's monster that is English. Sewn together out of dead languages and living ones that it kills and uses for spare parts. If the human race were exterminated, English would find a new host or wait for one to evolve. English does not sleep. It waits.

Kekeke English rush?

Wait, is the stuff that's on top of the human's pasta cat food as well? 'Cause it sure looks like the food on the cat's plate.

If so, CRAZY CAT FAMILY.

MeFi post: Women Jailed and refused contraceptive after reporting rape
Things like the last sentence bother me so much. If an employee has such strong religious beliefs that they would refuse to give a second dose of the morning-after pill, then if this woman gets pregnant from the rape, the employee can go right ahead and pay for all of the woman's baby needs. Or, if the victim gives the baby up for adoption, the employee can pay for all of the new family's adoption fees.

I understand beliefs and everything, but with rape victims... [more]

MeFi post: What I've Learned...
I read these first in every issue of Esquire I get. I really liked James Watson's [last living co-discoverer of the sequencing of DNA] in the January 2007 issue. It's really interesting to read some of his feelings on the future of DNA research.

Great post, these things are great reads.

Heh, this is hilarious. They have a potential anti-gay vaccine, but there's no homicidal tendencies vaccine, or cerebal palsy/down's syndrome/schizophrenia/alzheimer's/etc vaccine, or a cancer/HIV/AIDS/etc. vaccine.

can't we have both guns and jesus?

Sure. Just get a gun, go back in time to the point right before Jesus' death, and have Pontious Pilate shoot Jesus instead. Then Catholics and the like will all wear glocks instead of crucifixes.

...That would be really cool.

You can upload images too, from those really memorable sessions!

I wonder if they'll have a post card generation service, where the image prints on a post card you can send to all your girl/boyfriends! "Wish You Were Here [arrow pointing down]," etc.
