Like apples to apples but stupid and terrible and tragically faux ironic THERE I SAID IT, YOU ALL KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH. #cardsagainsthumanitytruthers

Can anyone explain to me why this game is popular among white upper middle class democrats? It's fucking racist and full of rape jokes. Yet whenever I'm at a house party full of wealthy white people who consider themselves to be liberal, this is the first goddamn thing to do after dinner.

yes. Cards against humanity is for people who lack any real wit. The worst is when people post pictures of their "hilarious" cards as though they've come up with a brilliant joke. (Armstrong's can be an exception to the rule for obvious reasons)

Aww, poor little guy. And he trusted that his people would come back to get him. That's so sweet. Rejoicing and petting, indeed. :O)

It's basically a fill-in-the-blank kind of affair. Each round, someone draws a card with a sentence with blanks in it, e.g. "__________ gives me uncontrollable gas." Each player has a handful of cards with which to fill in this blank, e.g. "Lance Armstrong's missing testicle" and gets to submit one. The sentence…

I worked as a volunteer coordinator for an NGO in a very remote location, and actually lived with the volunteers I was supervising.

Though in my experience, a lot straight folks claiming they've been hit on in gay spaces 'a LOT' tend to be grotesquely exaggerating (unless they're bloody Adonis) to cover for their more phobic-based discomfort ('that guy over there ... he ... he LOOKED at me; jeez this place gives me the creeps they all wanna TOUCH…

She might be independent, but live in a country where being openly gay is dangerous. That is not my guess in this particular case, but the point is we never get the full story, so its hard to pass judgment.

You say exactly that. Most guys will respect that. It'll be a little awkward and briefly embarrassing, but whatever, no harm done. If anyone pursues after such a polite refusal, they're an asshole.

I work in an open plan office and we all hate it. Couple that with no one has a desk and we are encouraged to move around to foster creativity. No one does that. Because we are humans, we tend to mark out our own space. We also can't personalize our workspace because of the whole "no permanent desk" thing. If we…

0800: Clocking in

The interesting thing is that people respond to supervision on actual work products, it's constant visual supervision that drives people slowly mad. Like sometimes you just want to frown or sit with your legs open or mutter things to yourself. Constantly having to monitor your posture and appear pleasant can be a…

Or you could just fire (or otherwise deal with) that one person instead of implementing group punishment, which is just plain bad management style, IMO.

Shouldn't a "big boss" have bigger things to worry about?

Yeah my company recently moved to a new building, and the way they designed my part of the office (the cube farm part) is more open than it was before. I manage a department, and when they asked me what I thought about it before we moved, I asked how high the walls were and said I didn't think the space for my team…

That said... as my advisor puts it, "Academia is so flexible! You can work any 80 hours a week you want!"

One of the upsides of being a grad student. My boss doesn't really give a shit where you are most of the time so long as you get results and put out publications.

Heaps of people have pointed this out, but I think it's important to respond to questions about this to clear up confusion; the full footage from the security camera's show the mother races over to the neighbor's and runs back full pelt to her son when she's alerted them; she's still calling out over her shoulder as…

But TOTALLY get your point about kids running up out of nowhere to cuddle my dog. DO YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO KEEP THEIR FACES? TEACH THEM HOW TO APPROACH DOGS THEN, DICKS.

Um, if her dogs are under her control, they don't need muzzles. They need other dog owners to keep their damn dogs on a leash. My dog is FINE unless a strange dog comes running up to her and startles her, and then I get us both the hell out of the situation. Same with little kids running up to a strange dog squealing…
