So, is Tony Stark just RDJ in cosplay?

I really thought I couldn't love RDJ more, and then he goes and does this. Plus the showing up unexpectedly at the Iron Man costume contest.

And yet Tony Stark is *not* the Avenger I had a filthy dream about. (::cough::SteveRogers::cough::)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I'm just going to hang on to the logical fallacy poster

I have this printed out and on display in my office. It's embarrassing how much I Appeal to Authority. I'm wondering if it's because I'm sometimes arguing in a fandom. "yeah, but that's not what Tim thinks, so you're wrong" both is an Appeal, and makes me look like a DICK.

Oh, Amazon. If someone claims something is "nickel allergy free" and then in the next line says it's made of stainless steel, that's a bit of a problem.

I can't wear any of my watches now: even the tiny amount of nickel in the buckle of my sports watch gives me a rash. But did you know that there are wooden watches out there for people with nickel allergies? Fascinating. [link]

Nickel irritates the hell out of my ears, but I've never had an issue on my wrists. I wonder if that's an allergy or all in my head.

There's some metal that turns my skin green, and sometimes itchy, but I've never really looked into figuring out which metal it is, except for knowing that I shouldn't wear cheap silver earrings, and that the button on certain jeans makes my stomach get an itchy green spot.

Because books.

we can no doubt assume that 40 percent of all women named Amy will list Sabotage as their favorite song

Hey, I'm the ... 10 percent! Or something.

It's a new thing--I have to get sterling earring posts, but I never had a problem with a watch until the last few months.

I also never had sinus problems until the last few years.

Clearly the answer is that I'm getting older, and my body is trying to kill me.

You're an outlier!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I guess I am also an outlier. My favorite is Brass Monkey.
