Hey, that's my birthday!

For some reason I'm being really aggressive and insulting today, and it struck me as hilarious to end that post with "asshole" for no good reason.

So, you want us to think of pussy?

Hey, that's more like it! But now you're apologizing about 27% too much - can you tone it down a little?

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about the autism spectrum, not the sexuality spectrum. Point taken.

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus really? I would think it would be most annoying of all for the poor booth babes who are being hit on by a bunch of resentful jerks.

@avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus well, yeah, that's true. I may have been being somewhat tongue in cheek. But apparently being a raging horn-dog is more progressive than a bunch of the nerd community.

There are booth babes, who are trying to sell you stuff, but being annoyed with them is like being annoyed with the staff at McDonald's for their shitty farming practices.

@avclub-0f2aab038be93ff407d92af691001e73:disqus yeah, clearly. I'm not beating up on you or anything, just agreeing with the point above that you misread the point of the piece (which isn't a big deal), phrased your disagreement pretty poorly (which is, at most, a very moderate deal), and then offered a notpology.…

@avclub-c255c05246a081654a0267cbb725f5a7:disqus Women? In comp sci? I call BS.
Seriously, though, that must have been all fun and not at all uncomfortable for you.

"It's a means of pharmaceutical profit and means of denial of personal responsibility for ones own actions."

I'm quite all right with that. I have a lot of, uh, essence.

"You're at a burlesque! And they're *celebrating* your favorite TV show! What the *hell* is wrong with you, son?"
Yes, so much this. Even if not all the players even knew the Tennant stuff, it's still a bunch of scantily clad hot chicks celebrating something you love! What the hell does it take to please some guys?

Can I just say categorically that I very much like the idea of women dressing up all sexy and would like all of you to start doing it pretty much all the time. I don't care if it's 20 below or whatever, I want a plunging neckline and a thong, please.

@avclub-78c86aa171e1ab86948a7e10c471fc63:disqus "along comes some really hot girl who's pretending to be a nerd in order to manipulate you using your sexual desire and you're nerd-dom."

Did she get hired?

I like that you're willing to name names, @avclub-ca4fc44a59d0201cc7d4f760153cb00c:disqus . I just went to their webpage and it already looks like a bunch of assholes.

Or was she asleep?

It's amazing to me how much less bullying my son experiences - or even sees - than I did. However I have no idea if this is a function of geography or time. I grew up in a pretty uneducated, blue collar village with a high unemployment rate, and my kids go to school in a pretty hipster area of Vancouver, so that…
