Last year was my first year at the air show. I love WWII planes and the history the announcers tell during the shows. Highlight of last year for me was the demonstration of why the Japanese kicked our ass in the air with their Zeros at the start of our involvement. It featured the only non-replica Zero still flying.

This one would be perfect for a live-action Eden of the East.

Thankfully, the last time I heard that line it was followed by "Do you have condoms?" and I was able to answer in the affirmative. But you know what? Condoms are expensive as hell compared to other methods of contraception, and I would take a pill or have a thing inserted if there were a male thing for that.

An…

I'm not married because reasons (financial, mostly) and my better half and I don't want kids. By the logic of so, so many people, we should never have sex if we don't want kids. That must be why birth control predates the bible.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic just based on the phrasing, unlike my father who is insisting on my facebook page that "lack of personal responsibility leads to pregnancy." He has since been schooled, and I even threw in "pride and hubris are original sin" just to drive the point home. And my parents wonder why I…

Morality and ethics are not equivalents, yet you used the words interchangeably. In my previous comment I qualified what I said by stating that ethically, they are the same because they are both secret experiments using services that are free to anyone and may cause harm. Half of people who unknowingly consume LSD…

Let me rephrase: To actually socialize while maintaining sanity, facebook is really useful. I get really stressed when I have to venture out into public venues for hours at a time. Facebook allows small doses on my own terms.

No, ethically, it's the same because both are uninformed and without consent experiments using services that are free to anyone. Technically and actually they are different, but not ethically.

In ethics, I did have an extensive project that required informed consent. I took psychology in HS and in college and…

Take an ethics class. They teach you all about informed consent. Using a free service does not give anyone permission to do uninformed experiments on you. That would be like putting LSD in public drinking fountains. Ethically, it's just about the same.

I'm in a different boat. I make friends easily, but I'm introverted and don't go out much. So to actually socialize and keep my sanity, facebook is really useful.

It will take custom backgrounds and auto-play songs on your friends timeline to kill facebook. Sparkling gifs and MLP themes, anyone?

Raise your hand if you are a male nurse or have been in a traditionally female role in healthcare and can speak from experience exactly how few men are in those roles!

*raises hand*

In a 184 bed skilled nursing facility, I had maybe 10 male coworkers. We were given the heaviest (literally) patients and asked to deal…

K, hope you're not a jury for any statutory rape cases.

Yeah, when she was 17... Creepy.

I'm about the same age as she would be and I can't explain why, but it's one of those celebrity deaths that made me really sad. Maybe it's because I liked Romeo Must Die so much, maybe it was the celebrity crush I had on her. Whatever the reason, there have been public figures that…

Well, in 2006 she would have been 40, so maybe it relates to arrested development as a result of the trauma.

"I don't wish misfortune on anyone," Volikakis said. "It's time that we go on. This will not bring (back) my loved ones." - the deceased's wife and mother

Except that the surviving relative said the opposite of that. Life sentences are supposed to be for those that are dangerous to society. It was an unfortunate accident and one that is unlikely to be repeated by her.

I like Hank's explanation too.

I think Vin Diesel was just replaced as my man crush.

I use the Stylish plugin for Chrome and Firefox and use dark themes for facebook reading. I haven't found a good plugin to make the Gawker network (or most other blogs) less than blindingly bright.
