Two words for the kids issue: horse tranquilizers!

*last song of CD ends*

Rats: It looked just like a rat dick, only smaller.

But that wittle baby face! That punchable wittle baby face!

Dammit - Kinja (and pilot error) just wiped out a novella I had just written. Guess I’ll just repeat the TLDR version.

Or the illegal Mexicans that want to rape us...

That pancake makeup they slapped on him wasn't doing him any favors, but it looks like Obama fell victim to the same accelerated aging most presidents undergo - except W.

Feel like JA

Maybe a cross-dressing Jesus?

I wrestled with that too, but its late in the day...I got nuthin

I'm not in advertising, but I think that might be called "pandering to your core audience"

That sucks. And you know that he KNEW. I can only hope he was similarly cocky about knowing it all about something more dangerous, like high voltage equipment or something.

Fab 4 4 lyf dawg!

Actually, that 2nd paragraph wasn’t terribly well-written. It was perfectly clear in my own head but once you pointed it out, there were a few too many "it"s and "that"s flying around to be very comprehensible. Thanks for asking for clarification! Good to know at least one person read it!

Basically point out to your kid (this really works for anyone) that sometimes math/science/anything is hard, it is hard for a lot of people (boys and girls), and that it takes time working with it and practicing it to master it, but they are perfectly capable of working at it.

Nope. Not lucky. You worked hard and brought it. If the posts I've been seeing from white male hiring engineers is correct, the default assumption is you are an idiot. To get hired through that default filter is impressive. Congrats, I think!

I get why you didn't post but I for one would have loved to read about it. I'm a white male who enjoyed/enjoys every privilege, but when nobody is looking, I like to subvert on the sly. Hearing these kind of anecdotes helps me expand my awareness of the bullshit happening around me and hopefully to avoid contributing…

Dude, boys blurt out answers in kindergarten while girls raise their hands. A great deal of popular entertainment, particularly for the little kiddies, reinforces the “artsy girl”/”brainy sciency boy” stereotype.

Aren't the tits of your fellow nurses and exploding bowels/boils enough of a draw?
