I'm just wondering why they put a blonde, white princess on a yellow background. You can't even see her crown. Terrible. Tiana definitely comes ahead on layout on this one. Makes me wonder if the designer was sitting there thinking, 'I'll just put the princess no one likes on the ugly background and put Tiana on…

It was more she knew us personally. With so few women in the CS program, it was pretty easy to know every one of us. I think she'd also done freshman orientation for us (she did for me) and took some time then to tell me things like 'don't get any more piercings' during mine. But if she didn't know us, than yes,…

I went to a class somewhat like this in college. As a CS major, we were recommended to take this internship prep class to help us get internships. It was fantastic, a lot of interviewing tips, basic job skills, mock interviews with local companies, and a short session on dress and manners. We had one of the female…

I am interested to see what their definition of rich is. Also, I have my doubts on their methods, as the traits listed as unethical could also be the result of an inflated ego, which may lead to someone self-identifying himself/herself as 'rich'. I'm more inclined to think that this study shows that people who…

Human brains are good enough to process that mental checklist in under a minute. And even if you process it wrong and walk by when you should have stopped, screwing it up a handful of times is still better than walking past every single time. It'd be awesome if we could all opt to help every single time, but…

I remember seeing the bystander effect in college. There was a girl having a seizure alongside the sidewalk and hordes of people were just walking right by. I stopped and waited to see if someone would help, then when I realized no one would I crossed the street and went to help. There wasn't anything I could do,…

Practicality sometimes interferes with morality. For example, it'd be fantastic if we didn't have to kill anyone, ever, but sometimes evil people are in control and to keep them from inflicting their evil on others, we have to resort to war. I would love to minimize the occurrence of abortions, but recognize that…

From the other side of the argument: not everyone agrees at what point life begins, and for those that believe it begins while the baby is still in the womb, it is no longer just what a woman does with her body, but a matter of ending a life. That's the pro-life viewpoint. But rather than agree that a woman has a…

I can't even imagine how it must feel to have your kid say that. Jeez.

That is so awesome. When I started having seizure-like fits, we noticed that animals were really in-tune with what was going on and one of the early warning signs that I was going to have a fit was dogs or cats started hanging close to me. Wasn't any particular animal, just animals in general - dogs that I'd never…

A new bra store has opened in the nearby mall that uses almost entirely larger mannequins and models in their pictures. I smile every time I walk past it.

I judge the newest parenting craze in this manner: I read my friend's feeds. If the parents of teenagers are appalled and the childless friends are applauding, than I assume it's probably not a good parenting method. Laptop dad was one of these situations - the parents of teens and grown adults were appalled, my…

All this. Thank you. Really, I just marvel at the amount of paranoia some people have regarding the FBI. They're just people, just like us. They work long hours, they gripe about the bad parts of their job - like surveillance in 100 degree heat with no air con in the van, and the only time they really care about…

I have family that works for the FBI. They're too busy to care about you.

I'm Christian. I've been Christian my entire life and I do not plan to change, despite the fuckery my faith indulges in. (someone has to fight it) I do NOT understand their aversion to birth control though! Hell, even when I was in my snow-white-virgin stage I was taking birth control - there are very legitimate…

Oh dear god, that is something I could say. My first job out of college was that job and it was mostly because I had an adult-onset disorder. I was getting ready to start the paperwork for permanent disability before I got this current job, because my coworkers had convinced me I didn't belong in the workplace.

At my first job, I cried all the time. I cried on my way to work, on my way home, at random through the day, and even when I had to leave my apartment for errands because I was so scared of being in public.

My first job was that job. Makes your next job seem like paradise though!

He attends several different universities too. When he was going to mine, he had a habit of wearing women's lingerie to class because it helped him understand the female condition when he was writing.

Thank you, I will have to try that!
