Love the idealism but “giving total power to the machines will save us all!” is why y’all STEM types need the humanities

Thank you for sharing this. My mother and aunt recently visited me to help me out after I had major surgery, and while they were here, they wound up splitting a bottle of wine one night and told me about being molested by their uncle when they were teenagers. My mother said she never told her mother about the abuse…

I approve of “Imperial General Saul Tigh”

It’s interesting to me that after 30-odd years as a Chiefs fan, none of this is particularly surprising. I saw this coming at the end of the first half and then stayed watching out of sheer fascination for the Rube Goldbergian way we’d blow it. Was not let down.

Former drum major here. All the stories are true.

Idaho alum here. This program’s high point was in 2009, when they backed into a minor bowl game and needed some serious chutzpah to beat a so-so MAC team. It was pretty fun, but this is a seriously dysfunctional program getting smacked around on recruiting by Boise State, Washington State, etc. And don’t get me…

This woman is my strength. She is incredible.

Eff the haters, I still want to be her friend. She is a goofy kid and, like all goofy kids, steps in it from time to time.

All of the interstates leading in or out of the stadium were underwater at one point, which means the city emergency management was posting on Twitter that anyone at Kauffman should just stay put until the water receded. There really is nothing like sitting in rush hour gridlock with water over the highway and tornado…

I have well over 200K caps in Fallout Shelter...wish those were legal tender!

“For a woman, you have a very strong sense of justice.”

Said to me by a self-proclaimed feminist (and much older man) who I moronically dated for a few years.

“Are there so few black people in Spokane that all the members just looked the other way? BE HONEST.”

Spokane is my old stomping grounds, and the short answer is probably yes. The long answer involves the extraordinarily screwed up race relations in that part of the country. Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, which is just to the…

“THIS MOVIE IS MORE FEMINAZI THAN THE SHE-STAFFEL.”

*dying* *dies* *dead*

Because when you’re 18 and an older authority figure grooms you to accept his advances and flatters you and you don’t have enough prefrontal cortex formed to understand the ethical implications, it’s confusing and demeaning? It’s a two-way street, sure, but this kind of power abuse is inherently gross.

Ugh, I went to school in that same region. So many “family values” hypocrites. All those megachurches, no ethics.

I know! I saw him and squeeeeed! I first came to appreciate his magnetism when he was on that creepy X-Files episode where he’s infatuated with Scully.

Hello fellow APOer. I was also in Kappa Kappa Psi because my school did not have a separate Tau Beta Sigma chapter. These are service organizations that I gained a lot from working with, and met some cool people. No rushing, fat sacks of cash, or carefully calibrated social behaviors required. (I'm exaggerating a…

I'm a musician and the guy I was dating at the time and I had a rehearsal for a gig one evening that ran late. After rehearsal we were starving so we went by a Popeye's Chicken in a not-awesome part of town (it's also like the only fast food joint open late in that neighborhood).

There was one poor beleaguered woman…

Any particular alternatives you would recommend? I never ordered anything from Lime Crime, but see the appeal as I like all the colors. Ooh, pretty. Are there similar companies that are more ethical, less drama-queen?
