There's a lot of variance in how much somebody of a given size weighs, even at the same height.

Gay man here. My opinion is if you are a straight person, are reasonably respectful, are there to have fun and not stare, and people there are rude to you, that that club fucking sucks and you should find a new gay club. :) Of course I am spoiled by where I live (New Orleans).

I understand the whole "safe space" thing…

I know. I drive a Honda. I know that there are people who can afford Audis and BMWs and whatnot....all I can work up about it is...good for them? Maybe I'll have that kinda cash in the future?

I would assume that less people means the life guards would be more likely to notice quickly if you're in trouble. Probably a good thing

right, because you don't understand how negative portrayals of a minority group can make that group a subject of inequality, and dehumanized caricatures open up parts of the population as acceptable targets for discrimination and violence. This is why we don't have blackface characters or stepin fetchit type racial…

I am also anti Pinterest, but that was just funny...

Co-sign! Though I'm pretty sure cats and certain dog breeds are allowed to be nerds, too...

Right? As crummy as it was growing up liking geeky things, the one thing that would have made things easier is if there were a BIGGER circle of people I had shared interests with, not a smaller one. We should be happy that kids are no longer being shunned for liking things like science, computers, science fiction and…

The thing is- I don't want to be a "bigger" nerd than this person. I want everybody to settle comfortably into their own warm, happy nerd-dom. I just hate hate HATE this idea that there are "fake" nerds and posers and losers and "you don't like computers,( Star Trek, My Little Pony, NES, Dr. Who, <fandom>)? you aren't…

I fucking love when people call me a fake nerd at conventions. Like, yeah, I'm totally a fake nerd. I drove five hours to skate around the con in this Dazzler costume I meticulously crafted because... I don't actually love comic books? Obviously, that must be it.

Nerd: an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially: one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits<computer nerds>

"If you think about it this way, it's not that unusual that they're getting pissed off at somebody that's pretending to be a part of their (previously despised and alienated) group because it's 'trendy'."

I realize that you are a troll, but I'm going to respond anyway.

Being a nerd or geek is not about what you love, it's about how you love. It's about wanting to share your enthusiasm of a thing with other people who are delighted by it - whether their knowledge of the thing is far greater or far less than yours. And wanting to get other people who have never even heard of your…

Careful with this "that person is/isn't a REAL nerd, so sayeth I" stuff. There's always a bigger nerd out there waiting to call you out because you don't fit THEIR completely arbitrary definition of "nerd."

Wow, just.. fucking.. wow.

Target date plans also generally have lower expense ratios associated with them as well. The expense ratio is how much you pay to have your money managed for you.

Actually, just about any plan is a good plan, and one that is geared towards the non-savvy investor is going to be fairly conservative. You'll put away a little more than you need because your long term statistical growth will be lower due to using safer investments. Trying to guess what your income will do over the…

Those target date plans focus on asset allocation, and adjust over time. So it doesn't matter how much you invest at any particular point in time, it'll be spread out over stocks (large/mid/small cap/int'l) and bonds/income investments in a ratio appropriate to how close you are to retiring. If you don't want to…

Being that it is now proven that gay and lesbian parents are actually better at raising kids than straight parents, when will straight marriage be outlawed? I mean, I'm no heterophobe (I don't fear straight people), but I think we need to consider this for the good of our nations children.
