Nope. Can't believe my alma mater isn't on the list, though perhaps there was a crackdown after I graduated.

Shut up, you little hard-on.

I'm not saying that it doesn't take creativity, research, or that its practitioners aren't smart people, or that ads don't often make me laugh. But we'll have to agree to disagree on whether the fundamental premise, which is making people buy things they don't need to live, is morally dubious.

Nothing good will come of it, but it would be heartening if something did. Not enough powerful and / or rich people give a fuck.

It's beyond disheartening. I can't believe I'm even taking the bait right now. I always used a burner b/c I'm internet paranoid, and I always wondered why it took so long for a comment of mine to be seen until I realized the deal. This is fucking horrific, as is that shit over at jezebel (w/ the graphic gif posts,…

You mean - the facts as reported by multiple eyewitnesses that conflict with the shooter's version?

Let's just make it: half-the-fucking-country-vitriol-based-on-non-fact-coded-racist-statement-bullshit vitriol towards Obama, then.

Nothing will change. This country is a fucking joke.

LeGuin shout! I thought Larry Summers settled the debate on this....fucking asshat.

I usually find Jezebel one of the more interesting of the gawker family sites. This post (not your comment, the post) is....not interesting.

In other unsurprising news, capitalism is insidious. If folks can't parse TV for commercials, well, we really have lost all hope.

Hah.

If my memory - admittedly shit - serves me correctly, once you get to heaven you just sit and worship god in all his magnificence (can't remember where in the bible that is but have a pretty distinct school memory of learning that and laughing (internally)), which sounds pretty shitty to me unless it comes with some…

Do a search for verdicts and settlements for on-campus rapes. Think about how many dollars you would take for that. See if anything in the public domain is commensurate with what you think the Plaintiff / victim deserved.

Not that it's okay, but a lot of behavior like that is tradition, and when the board is made up of guys that engaged in the same kind of behavior at that age (or at least were treated to their first prostitute around then by some older "gent'), well, a blind eye is hardly surprising.

Oops. Posted the same thing before I saw this. I'm an idiot.

Only one I can think of, but strip clubs aren't my thing.

Do you mean the Hooters in Underground Atlanta? Going there in high school was always pretty exciting, but underground is pretty dead now (not that it wasn't always kind of shit).
