Ohh, there's a link to chat! I wonder if it's a chatbot or a person. I'm tempted to tell it/them that they have linked to pics of at least three famous people. It's probably not true, but how long will they work on figuring it out?
Wait, there is another (semi) famous person pictured here! Apparently Joe Rospars, co-founder of Blue State Digital and Obama's principal digital strategist for both presidential campaigns needed help with his LSATs.
@Hanoumatoi: The other images are either from stock photos or stolen from peoples' profiles on social networking sites. I did a Google image search and found that both women's pictures were used on other scammy sites. I repeated the search on other images and while most of them were stock photos, at least one of them was another famous person who has not been in college for a long time.
So glad you're going back to finish that degree, Dan. Keep chasing that dream!
OTOH, I hope you're not one of those who majors in Molecular Biology just 'cause it looks good on a med school application. We need more real scientists.
@19 - as a Chem major, I have long been irked by this mis-use of IUPAC, though I have to agree if frequency of usage wins, then Dan has set the new definitions.
@24: I was a ChemEng major and long ago I had to swallow the bitter pill of "organic" meaning not "contains carbon" but "purveyed by some hobbit-like creature in the produce aisle of Whole Foods with their furry little toes projecting from their Birkenstocks".
Hair dresser: "You should buy this name-brand stylist's shampoo. It's organic."
"You mean it contains organic chemicals?"
"No, it comes from plants!"
"So does crude oil."
So I go to a barber. $11, no appointment needed, no one shampoos my hair, I'm never delayed by someone getting a permanent, and there's always a tech or science magazine to read.
But to be clear: Dan invented "monogamish" and popularized "Sanatorum" but has only explained "cis" and "trans". "Cis" arising, I assume, because if transpeople get labels, then everybody gets labels. As your, "your straight, white, cis-male, gender-normative, First-world, able-bodied, right-handed, non-autistic-spectrum-disorder, English-speaking, document-possessing, middle-class privilege!" Cause, what fun are allies if you can't demean them?
In France it's not "organic" it's "bio" as in "biological". It makes as little sense.
"Oh, I love bio tomatoes, they're so much better than the others !"
"Er... others ? do you mean, mineral tomatoes ? robotic tomatoes ? plastic tomatoes ?"
I'm really touched by the third one. Poor Sarah, a struggling, starving Ph.D. student, gets adopted by a nice family!
