I think to get ungreyed there I would have to be early commenting on articles, but I never see the articles until they are crossposted. Even here, the only way I got ungreyed was by bugging Burt until she did it just to shut me up. They should ungrey everyone who is not a troll. It’s weird that they put this system in…

I wonder if the lack of friendliness is because of the subject matter and the holy fuckness of this election cycle? It’s pretty grim and people are tense.

Complaint Ahead: I miss having our own political articles on Jez.

No, see, I can tell you’re a ringer because all of your punctuation is correct. You must be their lobbyist!

I’ve mentioned this here before, but my last landlord is from Madrid. He was a manager at a recycling plant out in Modesto, and naturally most of his employees were Mexican immigrants. He had to speak English to them because they couldn’t understand his Spanish.

Though to be perfectly honest a lot of mathematicians suck at teaching math.

True story: One of my Spanish teachers (it might have been a college professor. Everything prior to last week is a blur to me) complimented my Castilian accent because I was absolutely nailing that region’s pronunciation of the letter S. Uh... No, that’s actually just my lisp.

i feel like such a nerd for laughing at this

Flawleth? I don’t think tho! ;)

It’s just like that time I applied to be a doctor at a hospital in Seattle and they turned me down. I mean, someone else could do all of the surgery & diagnosing stuff. I just want to date other cute doctor’s like on Grey’s Anatomy. I really don’t see the problem.

They told me that having seen Event Horizon several times does not qualify me to do ‘all that space shit’.

Did he really say that? But that’s like...all the policy. I’m going to tell my next boyfriend that I’ll handle all the chores, as long as he takes care of the ones inside and outside the house.

There’s an entire country in Europe where millions of white folk speak flawless Spanish almost from birth.

Sounds like The Donald to me.... remember, he hired Pence to ‘handle domestic and foreign policy’.

This needs so many more stars.

I didn't know that Abigail Fisher had changed her name.

True story. I applied for a job teaching Math. I made it through the initial round to the first interview, and then never heard back. I found out they hired a guy who had a Masters in *Mathematics.* I have a background and a degree in teaching English. I cannot believe this kind of discrimination still happens to…

Plenty of white folks speak Spanish better than I do. George Takei recently posted a video where he spoke near-flawless Spanish, for ten minutes. This lady isn’t discriminated against. She’s just lazy.

According to her lawyers, Rosner felt that another instructor could assume responsibilities over the Spanish-teaching portion of the class, while she would focus on reading and writing.
