It's not a collaborative process. It's about personal achievement and personal growth. I spent most of my academic career surrounded by "peers" who honestly couldn't give a damn about intellectual betterment, and the education I've built for myself over the years has nothing to do with collaboration and everything…

As a kid in the gifted classes, I really honestly preferred NOT having the "dumber" students in my class - I resented having them slow things down, and how I was often expected, via group work, to do my teacher's job for him/her by "helping" them. I was there to learn, not teach, and I wonder how much more I would…

Actually, elementary school kids can be amazing. One of my best friends at the time (and we were not popular by any means), wound up in the hospital and needed a kidney transplant. Nearly died, in fact. We all sent her cards, and presents, and letters and probably would have been happy to do something like the snow…

You beat me by seconds!

Thank you. I prefer privacy - it's what helps me be productive. Also, when you have to work with physical paper (as you do in the legal profession) you need a little bit of privacy.

Over to you, Dr. Farnsworth.

I was about to say just this! Sybil was interested in suffrage and politics AND became a nurse!

I have thighs that always rub together and heels that get scraped up by shoes if they're not covered by something. Also? I get cold. Pantyhose seemed like a nice compromise for early spring/fall when it's a little chilly to go bare-legged with sandals, but too warm still to break out the tights, which sometimes…

YES.

When I was just hitting puberty with the force of a comet, a neighbor told me that I should avoid "dark sodas" like coke and pepsi, because they caused acne. Desperate to do anything about my horrible skin, I listened, and wound up losing all taste for pretty much ALL soda at a young age, and not just the "darker"…

Honestly, I find things like you suggest to be, at best, grating, and at worst, completely condescending, and even to some degree, sexist. I refuse to have to plaster a phony smile on my face and fold my hands and "meditate on" something when I'm legitimately angry about not being respected. I refuse to force myself…

Don't you mean testicles? Or am I missing something with the creative spelling?

Good for him. Now, when does Armada come out? I loved Ready Player One!

Uh, they're nice and all, but how is a standard "body glove" wetsuit futuristic? (Seriously, I've seen surfers wearing pretty much the exact same thing for years.)

I'm sure this will get me mocked relentlessly on here, but the original 1980s My Little Pony pilot scared the everloving fuck out of me. A large part of it was because it involved this terrifying dark wizard kidnapping the happy ponies, chaining them up, and engulfing them in a dark cloud which turned them into evil…

I thought it was bullshit, too. And then four years ago a dude sat next to me at a play, and said "I really want to see this play, but I've had a really long day, so if I start snoring or drooling, can you just elbow me in the ribs really hard?" After the play he offered to "buy" me a beer at the open bar party…

I think you mean *Don* Draper? Because I think Draper is Two-Face here (appropriately) and John Sterling is the Joker, also appropriately.

Sounds like someone wanted to adapt Fables without going through DC/Vertigo or Bill Willingham. AGAIN.

I always, always suspected this.

It seems only proper that an android would have a Stepford wife.
