That sounds familiar. I think that would have been my last year. There were a lot of people like that doing ridiculous things in those days. I ran into someone our age from wesleyan at a party the other day, she said "I went to wesleyan and I became a lesbian and experimented with wicca." I said "so you share that…

Ha ha. They used my room for set design ideas for that movie, and when it came out we all got invited to see it at the campus cinema and got very drunk at the screening. Some of the bit characters were based on real people I knew, but wow was that a terrible movie. Buffy the vampire slayer (the movie) does more to…

Do you remember that MTV did a special about Eclectic, with Kennedy hosting it?

20 years? You probably know me then.

Does it still do good parties? I saw they got busted for hazing two or three years ago (our hazing works in reverse, for anyone who is concerned about that) and that seemed like a good sign that they were still carrying the flag, but I haven't been back on campus in 15 years, and that was just to play a show with my…

Ha ha, the great thing about Eclectic (which pissed off the organization that owned the house by letting in a black woman in 1971) is that when I lived there, it out-animal-housed any frat on campus. We played donkey kong with kegs on the back stairs, we rolled a fat guy around in a chariot, and we doled out misery…

I've worked on cars for years, because I've never purchased a car for more than $1000 until my most recent, a 1998 BMW I got for $3000. I've got to say, compared to all those big old american vans I owned, the jetta my wife had, the 78 celica I had for years, the sort-of modern BMW is the best and easiest to work on.…

This is one of those situations where you're out with an otherwise normal-seeming person. You think, "he's a good catch, I wonder why he's single?" Then, there it is! That's why he's single. Better to find out early rather than a few weeks or a month in.

Tell me about your chemtrails hypothesis. I'm all ears.

Why even mention that the rebels claim that the Ukrainian government shot it down? It's like reporting on a crazy man pointing at the sky and screaming about chemtrails. Of course they're going to say some crazy shit, just like they say that Kiev is controlled by fascist homosexual jews. No reason to repeat it.

He's doing it at about 75mph, the guys in this story could have easily been doing 250.

It's still not fixed.

I agree. This is a terrible generalization. Some people who sometimes like threesomes: lesbians, gay men, bi women, straight women, straight men, bi men, bonobo monkeys..

no-one covers this better than Care Bears on Fire:

I interviewed at godaddy in santa clara a few months ago. They have been largely taken over by an investment bank, and they were trying really, really hard to shed their old image. Apparently Bob is a huge dick to the employees too. I did a video interview with one guy in AZ, and the corporate culture difference…

Yes. If you're crunching, you're not doing it right. Also, I don't know about the other aspects of development, but if you're writing code, there comes a point - probably after about 7 hours of work - where your sloppiness due to burnout starts moving the team backwards. A programmer working for 16 hours straight…

I agree, most of this stuff just seems like the way it happens. Pick a company: google, facebook, linkedin, zynga, etc. All of them have this terrible cult-like seriousness, and those parts should sound the same and pretty much write themselves.

So many apologists for submitting to the crappy work overlords in this thread! Sometimes having no job is more profitable and sane than having a terrible job.

Thank you so much for posting this! I can't begin to tell you how much it has helped me! Before reading this, I was just spraying my seed everywhere. I'd walk down the street, and the whole time, I'd be hosing down parked cars with my seed. I'd be at a sales pitch, and my copious seed spraying would get in the way…

I keep having this argument with my wife, who is possibly the smartest person I've ever met, an attorney, and certainly no fan of normal gender roles: she says "I'm not a feminist" and I choke in disbelief, because it just seems like an insane thing for her to say. Everything about her is feminist. However, for her…
