I do too! I feel like marriage and partner ship has second chances when I get older, but fatherhood is something very specific to a time in my life. Like, after 30 years I can get a divorce. But I only have one time window at being a dad. And there's something exciting about that!

Well, it's true that NYC has certain niche markets. And if you want to be a pro in one of those niche markets, I don't blame you! If you want to be a good software person, you head to San Francisco! But New York is, like I said, the kind of place where you're going to work very very hard. It's not really conducive to…

What I can't stand about this is that it's just a cliched New York story. New York is very productive, and therefore very expensive. So in order to live in New York, you have to have a job that pays well, and more than likely you're going to have to work long hours in it. So the idea that a young person with a small…

This was well done, but one line made me twitch. "If women were paid equally in this country, there would be $200 Billion dollars more circulating in the economy."

Right. Because if there's one thing men pay attention to, it's shoes. ::rolls eyes::

While this is of course, welcoming, it doesn't really say much without empirical evidence. You can't just prance around, interview a few moderate conservative women, and then call it a national trend. Otherwise it's just a dressed up chain letter, like the ones my step-mom sends me about how "everyone" thinks we ought…

Actually, I'm thinking this has great potential as another benchmark of stupid male machismo. Instead of bragging about how much they can bench press, they'll be talking about sperm per ml. 40 million sperm per ml is the new porche.

Even that seems kind of obvious. Batman doesn't even have superpowers, just a bunch of gadgets. Nothing Batman could do would even hurt Superman.

I never said he wasn't allowed to make fun of his own faith. I said he wasn't very good at it.

People seriously ask this? That's whack!

Oh I'm not saying he can't make fun of his own religion. I was mostly criticizing him for being a bad comedian. It was geared toward the line "normally funny person" in the article. To me, this joke was the turning point when I realized "wait a minute... he's not actually funny!"

I was turned off by Rainn way before this when he started making jokes about his Baha'i faith. I remember him talking about it on multiple talk shows about how it was a religion of peace and how they "don't want to slaughter goats." It's a weak line. It doesn't say anything about the religion, and it's not funny. It'd…

As a vegetarian, I'm pretty excited about this. Right now, it's really inefficient to produce. I imagine that as it gets going though, the techniques will be improved and costs will come down. I'm hoping that if they can't replicate an entire burger, they can at least replace meat-based broths and sauces.

This is the greatest thing I've seen all day!

I find that urinals are a must. They use so much less water, and you don't have to be as concerned about not hitting anything. You just have to pee in vaguely "that direction". And if my urine stream splits or sprays or something, everything's fine instead of a giant embarrassment. At my work, there are men who…

It also deprives us of the crucial "tiger-mom/cat-fight" angle!

Wasn't Amy Chua's book about her regrets about this kind of tactic? I thought her thesis was that she began with this notion of being a "tiger mom," but found she had to moderate her approach as her kids got older and she couldn't take it as a parent.
