    Every time I fly, I get asked to go through the porno scanners.

    I've said it over and over again, and I've even said it directly to Cory Doctrow, originator of the term - Having seen the images that come out of them, calling them Pornoscanners says way more about you, than the scanners. And what it says is that you should be kept away from shop mannequins.

  • So the UK appears to be trying to start NORSEFIRE, where should I move to next?

    In the SCA I travel with older dudes all the time. It doesn't mean we're having tex secks. Just sayin, verify before you assume.

    Exactly! Maybe he's just a really nice guy. Maybe he's actually Santa Claus, and she's showing her the true meaning of Christmas. Maybe she's terminally ill and he's fulfilling one of her dying wishes.

    But I'm still not ruling out underage sexing.
    If I've learned anything, it's to NEVER rule out under-age sexings.
    No doubt he's attempting to sex the wee lass. He'll probably fail and then bitch unsolicited at me.

    At least he's better than the friend who confided in me at his therapists request that he's into kiddie porn.

    Or is he? He IS seeing a therapist.

    Millimeter wave scanners then? I'm pretty sure the US has started quietly sweeping the backscatter ones under some large government rug. And whether or not you like the word it, like most rhetoric, is evocative and such a huge ineffectual lump should draw some ire. I'm mostly just upset that I have the choice of being scanned or frisked while everyone else can go through the metal detector. Last time I flew, the frisker said "I'm sure you know the drill by now.", so I can only assume I'm on some list for some reason.

    Just Bodyscanners, or Scanners, or just about whatever else covers both without being silly puritanical nonsense about how any image that's even vaguely like a naked person is pornography.

    As for "It's evocative and draws ire on the issue!", frankly, I don't give a single ounce more credence to that argument here, than I do to when it's used in defense of any of the hundreds of "Share this!" images spewed out by facebook activist pages that are invariably just manipulative nonsense. So, basically none, really.

    Without a doubt.

  • The proliferation of allegedly "smart" people who completely fail to understand how evolution works or what it even means boggles me to no end.

    Yes, human populations are still evolving. Until we no longer use genes to encode information, or reproduce exclusively by cloning, we will always be evolving. This is not that hard.
  • Why are you friends with these people?

  • I'm not. They're literally everywhere on the Internet and in The Real World.

    But especially on reddit.

    Wasn't really talking to you, just repeating Linkiji's statement from above. Your post wasn't there when I posted :P
  • Hello everyone, let me introduce you to my two best friends: Pedophile Bob and Murderous Kyle. Their wacky antics have been entertaining me for years, and I value our friendship.
  • Facebook constitutionalists.
  • Why are you friends with these people?


    40 year old with the underage sexin'? I've more or less detached from. I see him once every few years, tops. He still considers me a close friend and I don't want to take that from him.

    The kiddie porn fiend? I'd known the man for.... 18 years before the admission. I genuinely care about that guy.

    Granted, these are my "worst" friends. It's not like I only know deviants. =/

    Um, WAT? You don't want to take it from him? It's not your job to guard his feelings against reality. It's probably better for him to learn the truth and deal with it so he can move on with his life. Such as it is, anyway.

  • Also, the part where he's a creepy pervert doing illegal things...

    Maintaining connections for the sake of that, when you don't even like the person, I dunno. Not really justifiable.

    Your second example I get, it sounds like he has a problem and is trying to honestly do something about it. But this first guy...No...Nope.
  • I just received the following text - "Hey, how do you pronounce it, Recognizance or Recognizance?"

    I sent back "Definitely Recognizance."
  • Doesn't sport fall under the broader category of game?

    Unrelated to the topic -
    Is the person in the red turtle-neck person androgynous?
  • Old people talking 'bout videogames!

    It's a sport because, while there's strategy, the thing that most determines the winner is physical prowess (in this case, button/keyboard clicking). Much like professional Starcraft or CS matches.

    It's Martina Navratilova.

    She is a lesbian and it getting on in age.

    Also, your comment and her mug made me thing of this.

  • It's not Utah, that is the fail of the day for legalizing gay Marriage. It's nearly every state that is more liberal that hasn't done that with a bit glaring look at Pennsylvania.

    So Comcast rented me a modem when we first set up service and I was planning on using my own. Took me a while to get around to it. They rented me a SB5120, so I bought a SB5101U. "I'm sorry sir, we couldn't make a connection." I call bullshit but okay I'll get a better one, a smarter move anyway. Make doubly sure by checking their "compliant" modem list (basically a list of the current brand of every modem) and purchase an SB6121 off of Amazon. "I'm sorry sir, we couldn't make a connection." Fuck that nonsense get a technician out here. If you're telling me that your SB5120 can connect but the newest model (and a model older) won't connect AND I happen to be renting the 5120 from you then I'm about to get angry. Honestly I don't even want Comcast but due to my building I'm currently stuck with them until our wiring supports Gb connections. Then I will switch to a different service provider. Or I move, but I like this building.

  • "Happiness is here" - Facebook Friend

  • A friend who I used to have really cool discussions on gender politics and inequality in society just gave the biggest rant on Facebook of how men should have no part in the feminist movement and that they have no right to complain about anything as there is no inequality for men. She also rejected in her the post the ideas of "equality" and "humanism" as they are male orientated labels.
  • What the... I don't even...
  • edited December 2013
    Hey humanism does have huMANism in it. On a more serious note that when the social justice commando goes over to the dark side in my opinion.

    Once you no longer seek equality and fellowship with each other you've pretty much lost your way.

    I had to expend so much effort to parse Scojoese into normal American English. I seriously had to reread that about 5 times to understand it. I'm getting rusty, or maybe I just need more coffee.

    My other fail of the day is trying to get work done with my family in the house. I forgot how bad my ADHD was since I've been working at home almost every day.

  • Aria had to work today.

    He works again tomorrow.
  • Does he at least get delicious holiday overtime pay?

    I just discovered that I accidentally ordered my brother's Christmas presents to my school address, so now they're in New York while I'm in Florida.
