skjaere commented on The Minimum Wage: Putting Some Myths to Rest.

I have two MAs and five years experience in my field. I *dream* of finding full-time, long-term employment at $15/hr. Not sure that's ever going to happen.

skjaere commented on Doctor Who?.

@2 - I would be down with that. Other great suggestion I've seen so far: Dame Judi Dench as the Doctor. Although I would be a lot happier with a woman Doctor if Steven Moffat weren't the one writing her. Any chance we can stage a coup and force him to step down?

I recommend against using this word unless you're talking dirty during a sex act with someone who doesn't mind its usage in that context, or possibly among close friends when there is no one else within earshot. All other usages are generally considered highly offensive and should be avoided at all cost. We have so many good words in the English language. Surely an educated guy like you can come up with something a little more creative.

Holy shit! I used to own a copy of Pissing In the Snow when I was in middle school! I didn't know anyone else had ever heard of it.

(Not that it would have been acceptable to go after his family if he *had* been the bomber.)

I feel so bad for his family. People were awful to them after he was incorrectly identified as the bomber, and I doubt many of them apologised for their dickish behaviour.

I've never been a video gamer myself, but I've known at least as many female gamers as male among my friends, and it surprises me that the misogyny is so entrenched in the gaming world. You'd think game-designers would want to appeal to the largest number of potential customers possible. I love this video so much.

skjaere commented on SL Letter of the Day: Breaking the Code.

I've never understood this "code" business. My friends and I passed around boyfriends in high school like it was going out of style. I had one friend who was like a sister to me, who dated five of my exes. It was never an issue. In fact, I would characterise it as a shared experience that drew us closer together.
