That doesn't make sense. That's not an "ism".

EDIT:
And that's not quite the word either. Let's not even begin discussing how far the US is from a meritocracy.

Sounds like denialism!

"""Discrimination""" against the unqualified by instead rewarding the more qualified?

Pffft, that's nothing. Didn't get much sleep last night because the cats spent all night barfing on us.

They admit that if it were rephrased as "What's the difference between your children and your ideas", it'd suddenly stop being sexist, despite being the exact same joke.

It's the same punchline, but not the same joke. A woman's mouth and vagina are both orifices, ~~have teeth~~, and have the ability to please a man's penis, so the comparison is less nonsensical than asking the difference between an owl and a bungee cord.

Whether this makes it sexist or not is up to you.

Fuck MoveOn. They never sent me an Obama button after I requested one, then the link they gave me to replace mine if I didn't show up just says they're out of buttons and I'm SOL. Fuck them, I wanted my Obama button.

That sucks, but if a cat barfed on me I'm pretty sure I'd die. Cat spit is like lit thermite to my system: Even a hint of it in my eye causes it to swell up and turn blood red. It makes my skin swell, too. Sucks because I happen to love animals, even cats. And I have a cat who obsessively cleans herself. Like, all day long. She's a longhair, and her fur is literally dusty with her spit, so after I pet her I have to wash my hands. Sometimes she'll massage her pads on my leg and I'll feel my leg swelling like a wet tampon.

Dogs are better than cats, QED.

Long-haired breeds (species doesn't matter) will almost always be worse allergy wise than a short-haired breed.

I still cannot decipher what the linux kernel is doing to initialize page tables. This may have something to do with me reading source for three or four different platforms, but it probably has more to do with how I'm retarded. Fuck my stupid, stupid brain.

...So a few months back, at the local Kinko's, I saw a very silly product: a USB coffee mug warmer. I pointed it out to my roommate and we had a good laugh.

So then he bought me one for my birthday. (He has a long history of purchasing me gag gifts, especially items we have mocked in a store -- a few years back it was a horizontal stand for my PS2.)

The first problem, as you might expect, is that it doesn't really work very well. It gets hot enough to burn your hand, but not hot enough to keep your coffee warm. (It also seems slightly undersized for my mug.)

Also, the USB cable is very short, so the only ports I can plug it into if I actually want it to be within reach are the ones on the front of my computer. And my computer is on the left side of my desk.

That's right...my coffee warmer is left-handed.

It's a sign Thad. It seems you can't ignore your sinister destiny.

Brentai · « **Reply #373 on:** October 27, 2008, 10:36:26 AM »

To be fair, it will be very useful when you meet the man in black.

Also my mother bought that for my father one year. My father has a long history of thoroughly hating everything my mother buys him.

Thinkgeek sent me one of those things by accident. I still haven't tried it.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/ezbake.shtml I thought for years that this was a real product. You cannot imagine my sorrow when I finally decided to purchase it and clicked "Add to Cart".

That's funny. Back in high school Brad suggested the advent of a 5.25" toast drive.

I forget if he just intended it to make toast or actually went so far as to suggest attempting to read and write data on it.

Not sure this is a pet peeve, but fuck it looks like there are roaches in my apartment. It is definitely my fault because I am incorrigible slob.

Hey, if you play your cards right you could turn your pet peeves into actual pets.

Classic · « **Reply #379 on:** November 01, 2008, 06:15:44 AM »

I'm not sure, but I think the one I've captured is a small or pre-adult oriental roach. Hell, it's less than an inch long and has no obvious wings, it might not be a roach at all.
