I never said it doesn't happen, and I know my personal experience is anecdotal, obviously - just like yours. My point is that, when speaking in generalities, it's not fair to counterpoint an argument with anecdotes.

It works the other way, too. My gf hates weight rooms because she says she thinks all the men are judging her and oggling her, and will only go if a female buddy joins. Now I can't speak for oggling, because lots of men are creeps, but as far as judging - not likely. Men don't really care when women use weights and…

This is entirely anecdotal. I've worked out in a lot of weight rooms and I've never once seen a single man actively encourage a woman to leave. What is the basis of this statement?

Brownouts notwithstanding, if you averaged out electricty use per capita, you'd get a lower number than most places in America. City dwellers, on average, end up using less resources than most rural/suburban dwellers in America.

Right, I understand the technical time frame of the "boom," I was just talking about convenience and also that I thought generations went by 20-year increments.

I always thought the distinctions were: boomers born 1941-1960, Xer's born 1961-1980, Millenials born 1981-2000, and whatever the next generation is starts in 2001. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

This has to be evidence of a civilization in decline - bourgeois/yuppy urbanites going apeshit over cutesy donuts.

Here is a shit-ton of the jezebel commentariat arguing that men are not stronger, on average, than women http://jezebel.com/5993704/the-wa…

It's mostly an issue of self-loathing. Like the way closeted Republican congressmen spend their free energy bashing gay people.

I'm not a paleo supporter. There are good and bad things about the diet and culture that surrounds it. But if you think consuming dairy is the best way to get strong bones, you're wrong.

After reading this thread, doesn't this seem to be a matter of perception? On one hand, men are the "choosers" in the traditional scheme in the sense that they choose whom to propose to and when. But on the other hand, women are the "choosers" in the traditional scheme because they are receiving all of the offers and…

Doesn't change the fact that criminal defendants dress like this all the time, and most Judges with regular exposure are not going to really consider it too deeply, all anecdotes aside.

Many years ago I was in small town court for a traffic violation. This court had one session a week, so it would have included all low-level misdemeanors and violations.

I agree with you. Maybe I'm being too generous, but I'm reading that last tweet as: many Zimmerman supporters are probably racist. I don't have an opinion either way, nor about her other tweets, cause like, who gives a toot about JCO? But, I would like someone to explain what they don't like about the last tweet just…

Awesome.

I think you are missing my point. Of course dressing appropriately would be better, but it's not as big of a deal as people think.

I didn't say it was advisable. It's just that sooooo many people dress like this for Court, I doubt the judge will really think too hard about her outfit.

Nah. Go down to city court. Any city (100,000+) court. You will see this x100 every day. Minus the blue wig, though (for the most part).

I think the LSD market is so wildly varied, it's hard to put a real street value on it. Like you said, it's hard to find, but it comes in waves, so market forces probably don't drive the price the way other drugs with steady supplies do.

Actually, gloves tend to worsen your grip when using heavy loads. Gloves increase the circumference of the gripping surface, which reduces grip strength and thus, makes deadlifts harder. Serious lifters don't use gloves, not because having callouses are manly, but because they decrease performance. Chalk is preferred,…
