Having more than two major political parties may sound too much like something a foreigner might come up with, but it has the plus side that you get to see more than one color scheme in political campaigns of this scale. It may partly be because some parties just don't love their country enough, but the people running…

We had a work-thing today turn into a discussion on CK and the payment model of Horace & Pete. Which is funny because I'm making bets with different parts of my psyche on how I'll deal with my supervisor being both part of that conversation and pretty damn hot.

If I was more of a follow-through kind of person, I'd do a parody version of this filled with things like a bags of zip-ties and cheap curtain rings.

The context you have in your head for something and the ones other people construct upon hearing you talk about it can be quite different, and it sucks that sometimes you can't avoid people taking things in some unintended way (and sometimes it's something you want to avoid so much you'll avoid bringing things up all…

Yeah, I think if anyone's wondering how such a neutral term could have developed negative connotations in people's minds, in the future they might want to pay attention to the contexts where "females" is used compared to "males".

It always baffled me why the Silk Spectre wasn't more appreciative of his uh, abilities.

I have gotten some very good relationship advice from people who believe 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing a hoax etc. It's not like judging relationships and conspiracies require exactly the same skill set after all.

Now I feel less stupid for not realizing an Eastern European Hooter's knockoff was an Eastern European Hooter's knockoff until it was too late to leave the otherwise empty restaurant, especially as the staff was so cheerful polite.

Someone wrote something in the comments of another HateSong about how this feature can end up unintentionally highlighting things interviewees have strong feelings towards that don't really have much to do with the song being hated on. This one though is more self-aware and justified in that regard, but maybe that's…

When you know you have at least twenty IQ points over some people who went on to get graduate degrees from MIT, there can be a bit of a disconnect between the things you want in life and the things you can get by flirting. I've probably succeeded in getting sex by flirting, can't think of much else. There's no such…

Can you tell which ones are "high quality guys" based on the stitching? Because I read somewhere that they are often made in the same factories and they just slap different labels on them before shipping them out.

There's a difference between a couple meeting at work and a a recruiter who has never met me and who contacts me first talking about jobs that happen to match my qualifications a little too well, then tells me he has a thing for girls who are from where I'm from etc. Should I send you a notarized copy of the email…

It's the fucking worst to witness how skilled people can be at this: waiting for just the right time to come up and talk between tram stops so you can't easily exit the conversation, offering to do favors which will forever require repayment if you make the mistake of thinking they are actually doing it out of…

The human race, at least in the modern world outside of arranged marriages, depends on male aggression to initiate sexual encounters that would lead to reproduction, possibly relationships. The icy feminist dismissal of "I personally believe that a woman shouldn't be sexually harassed. That's just me." is a celibacy…

"But in the Family Guy parody, for instance, the guy that you cast as Peter Griffin looks like he has a little bit of a stomach, but Peter Griffin in the actual show is a fairly obese guy. You’re not casting the guy that looks like Peter Griffin. You’re toning it down. "

Also, of course:
going to Amsterdam in the New Year

If there was a war goin' on, I'd be on the front line with 'em!

I read Green Girl by Kate Zambreno last weekend, and I'd like to see what kinds of recommendations would result from that and I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic being the two recent reads I've enjoyed the most.

But listening to advice from Alien Jesus sounds exactly like something a serial killer might do, so I'm a little torn on how I should be taking your comment.
