But, but, but, I was also dealing with a face infection, and it was clear you weren't having any, and, and...
Hmph.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I offered, I was perfectly happy to comply -- no more or less so than if I were having any myself.
Ah, well.
They've added pop up ads to our login scripts at work. I've just sent of an e-mail to the group responsible suggesting it wasn't a useful idea.
eta: and my return receipt indicates that EVERYONE in the department (including upper mgmt) has read my bitching. Oh, I'm in trouble now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A thing with the whole Intelligent Design thing is that a lot of this stuff really is pretty much too hard to understand on a casual level. It reminds me of the crackpot guy on TAL the other week who was convinced that Einstein was wrong, because it shouldn't be that hard. If it's so basic, it should be obvious. Yeah, NSM.

Heh. I'm going back and forth with the Executive VP in question. Dude, I've seen the splash page 5 times in two days. Apparently that's an error.
Still -- people barely read popups when they're important (a la error messages). And with the web, ignoring them is even more reflexive. I think it's not a useful idea at all.

How reliable is it that people even see popups? At home I've got two or three levels of blocking wihtout even trying, so I really have to want to go see it on purpose.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Like a whole lot of stuff-- the morning after pill is just a souped-up birth control pill, not an abortifactant; global warming. Etc., etc. It's easy to convince people there are no biological precursors to eyes (even though there ARE)-- they seem to be willing to believe that if they don't know about it it must not exist.

Oh totally -- practically everything in the world is too complex for the layperson to understand. Electricity? MAGIC! Television? TINY PEOPLE IN A BOX!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not just tiny people, Jesse. Elves in a box.

Wow, those are elves? They look just like regular people, only little. Huh.
