Also, “hang up the phone.”

The Ivy Style blog had a feature about the job ads the NSA used to send to elite universities a few years back. There’s also a photo of a Miss NSA pageant, of all things.

“Deflection!” That was the word I was looking for!

Kinda, but the main focus seems to be workplace harassment and norms. As such, Allen is as much a side issue as any other topic that you might label “important but a distraction.”

In this case, yes. It being something you personally disagree with gives it no less rights than something you do.

Does it have anything to do with this article? I’d say it also lines up with what I’ve heard about occupational psychosocial health and from a teacher at a school with a large JROTC presence.

Hard to say, as those weddings wouldn’t lead to something against his religion (at least by normative Christianity) while a gay wedding would be associated with a violation of the “holiness code,” one of the more serious sets of rules in the Tanakh (it’s serious enough that violation is one of the things that Jews are…

Drive the kid to school the next day, answer “I don’t see how that’s my problem” when he questions it.

That’s a somewhat selective read. He also said to cut off contact with all unbelievers, including family, for instance. Really, any read besides “he said a lot of things” is cherry-picking.

It would be akin to making an atheist produce an add saying that failure to accept…

I haven’t dug into the opinions yet, but it seems like the decision hinges completely on the question of what level of service can be read as an endorsement of that which the service is for. This is fairly interesting, as it touches on the question of when it is appropriate to protest or blame a person or business for…

The premise sounds like something that would work better as a parody of the fat-acceptance movement and never-my-fault rationalizations in general but would get the writers hate mail if it was.

It sounds like Pilot uses a slower-drying ink formula than Uniball, such that the pen is less likely to run dry but leaves writing that’s more likely to smudge.

.39mm is the only legitimate width.

And then there’s the Irish political division that ruined Christmas dinner in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

My family’s is shorter, but because my uncle isn’t speaking to my dad over his lack of thanks for the stuff my uncle did that me dad had wanted to leave to a professional in the first place. I don’t expect this to end any time soon, as my dad still makes the occasional snide joke about the time my cousin brought a bad…
