There is no country in which women wear the hijab without immense social pressure, some of it persisting across generations, from their communities. It's like saying someone can choose to be a serf: Sure, you can be content with your lot or accept it for what it is, but that doesn't mean it's a choice.

It isn't possible to wear a hijab by choice.

This is why sumptuary laws are so dangerous. It's the Stockholm Syndrome of clothes. We shouldn't respect a person's wishes to wear clothes that are definitionally oppressive.

Good question! I've only ever used it in writing. I think of it just as 'mix.'

I think you are too repentant. You are the victim here. Virginia is fucking crazy. You suffered from oppression at their hands for a trivial offense, and just because they have made it illegal doesn't mean you should feel bad about it. This also makes me never, ever want to go to Virginia. Fuck them and their…

I've seen (and used) 'Mx.' as a nongendered alternative to Mr. or Mrs.

You're being an asshole. Don't be an asshole.

I always have bad dreams about oversleeping when I don't set an alarm! Even if I don't need to get up for anything.

Yea, I think the best way to do this isn't to say "no," it's to say "yes, let's talk about this at Time X." Not "later," but some specific near-future time, so they don't feel like you're blowing them off. Because you aren't.

I print out documents to proofread them. I catch about twice as much editing on paper as I do on the screen. It gives that same kind of fresh perspective.

What's the benefit of monospaced fonts? I've always hated Courier New, really ugly, and am not sure why it's so widely used. But I know very little about typography. Took someone hours to explain to me what kerning is and why I should care, so I don't have an eye for these things at all!

The problem is that, in Beyond The Sword, some of the quotes are by Sid, since they didn't get Nimoy back. Throws off the whole thing.

This is great, because at least you did SOMETHING, rather than just grouse about it and be angry/depressed like the rest of us. Good for you.

Had no idea what this onion thing was, looked it up, was pleased greatly.

Telling the elderly to shut up with their stupid, sexist, racist opinions should become America's national pastime. They'll certainly keep us busy.

This needs more stars! Thank you for letting us know this.

This is so true, and so depressing.

Whaaat! I love the Coins (official Nintendo styling requires Coin be capitalized). The speed difference between 1 and 10 Coins is pretty noticeable, definitely seems to make a difference for me.
