@amowls: Not at all, it is a confusing space to talk about because of all the different identifications, some of which are indistinguishable to an outside observer.

It's always a good time to post pics of Balian Buschsbaum.

@amowls: Not to nitpick, but drag and trans are distinct. Men in drag do not necessarily identify as female.

Mmm, I'm thinking it's a pretty well done joke. "Gifts of baked goods" sounds like this may be a play by a co-worker to get some peanut butter cookies.

In answer to the topic's headline:

@Flackette Goes Retro: Also, in the nytimes story, the sister is appealing mostly because of her genetic overlap with the writer's partner. I know many gay couples who struggle with the idea that their child can only be biologically related to one of them, so it makes sense that you would want the donor to be…

@foodandshoes: When we moved in together, I laughed at my bf for having a stack of 'Freshmen' magazines. I still kept them though :P

Even when I was in High School (about 12 years ago), calculators had reached the point that they had become too advanced to bring to standardized test environments; If you had one of the really good, cutting edge calculators, you also had to have a slightly shittier one on hand, so you could bring it to the SATs or…

@swampthing: This article was about commercial failures, not critical ones. According to IMDB, Legion had a budget of 26 mil, and a domestic gross of about 40 mil.

@BabyJane: The Spy who Poked Me?

@computermix: It can only be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom.

There is no way that a guy with those abs eats any of the food in that picture. Maybe the carrot garnish.

Wow. Just googled him, and broke my brain.

He's very aggressive with his color combinations, but he makes it work. Ugh, It's not fair.

Why go through all this trouble, when you can just set a password like a normal person?

@Eric Tate: One more thing. The new bars go up to 11.

@tomsomething: Most companies offer insurance benefits to domestic partners (something like 84% of private companies, last I checked). The issue is that, at a federal level, those benefits are taxed as income, which is not done for the benefits of a married couple. Google is taking the next step, and offsetting that…
