Yeah fuck this thing. I totally loaded a baby-faced picture of me in high school and it said I looked 30. I’m 25 now and loaded a bunch of recent ones and it gave me a pretty consistent 35-36. Either I’ve always looked much older, or there’s something off about the algorithm.

I mean, I'm going to have to disagree on principle even if I agree in sentiment. The university shouldn't be the one to dictate sexual mores to its students or professors (going to rebel here and say we are NOT employees.

To be fair, Icelandic is for all intents and purposes identical to Old Norse and the very center of Icelandic culture. Seriously, the purity and consistency of the language is a point of pride for Icelanders and for many forms the very foundation of national, social, and cultural identity. The naming commission, as…

Thank you! Look, I'm a folklorist and culture is pretty much my bread and butter. With the exception of religious traditions (and those only up to a certain point), there really is no such thing as a homogeneous culture to appropriate.
