We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

there's a history of systematic oppression of male nerds by attractive women

I see the words, but they make NO SENSE.

information libertarian

But it is so obvious: by not dating male nerds, attractive females are SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESSING THEM!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA stab.

My phone number finally ported! It's very exciting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HISTORY

SYSTEMATIC

Don't you understand? Me saying I'm a fan but not seeing The Hobbit until the second week (trufax cited "fake geek" scenario, movie may vary) is PROBLEMATIC.

That is my answer to "Why is the fake geek female, attractive, slim, and well spoken, and the real geek is male, less conventionally attractive, heavy set, and stutters?" BECAUSE OPPRESSION.

Oh, okay.

Me, I'm holding out for the next wave of issues, which will be when women are real geeks, but fake male geeks that look like Matt Bomer will fake knowledge of the Silmarillion to just use us sexually.

This is the inevitable next step, right? RIGHT.

I'm going to have to assume that either this [link] is misreported or just plain false.

Because I have to.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I grow cells to study why they move the way they do. I also buy things to use in studies.

Compassionately intolerant

I help many a dog deal with their people problem.

'dogs' and 'problems' did not make it to the list.

Why are plurals less popular, I wonder?

That's the point of the exercise, though. It doesn't work if you don't do it.

It's easiest if you just use the site--it allows plurals. Just type your stuff into the text box, and edit until you don't have errors.

People take pictures of the sky using a mirror and glass pieces in space. I store them in computers so people can look at them later again and again. I make sure that the pictures are right. People learn about the sky from looking at them. This tells us stuff about space and us.

It's not that I didn't know what sarameg did, because...hey, paying attention, but I like reading it that way.

"I make sure the pictures are right" simplifies everything.
