Just had an interview for a nice management job. I think it went well. I'd really rather like the position. (Meanwhile, I'm in a holding pattern for a number of coaching jobs I really want. I know I'm a top pick for at least one of them, but they need to find money to make it worthwhile for me...) E...

Btw, Soup. What comic is that from?

I got royally fucked over from the job I wanted. Which has left me angry and bitter. On the bright side, I got a different job working for one of the top high schools in the country with more or less complete autonomy inside the program, which is both a huge boon and way ahead of 'where I should be'...

Which novels?

Yes.

While Alyrium remains among the world's biggest turds, I just wish to say that Simon_Jester is rad and if he posted over here I don't think I'd ever go to TEO again. [] Yes. The followup of one. So fucking fun. I'll even admit to having a long-running head cannon to how it would have resolved itself...

No, I think it's your protection from being tried for the same crime twice. That's why they don't tell Mormon children about Ken Jennings, who wants to tell their kid about the most succesful Mormon criminal?

Yes. The followup of one.

So fucking fun. I'll even admit to having a long-running head cannon to how it would have resolved itself and the future of that world.

I really like Heinlein in the sense that he seems like one of those authors who anyone can find something of value in if you look at the right section of his corpus. Adventure. Philosophical ruminations on gender and identity. Space militarism. Social criticism. Patriotism. It's all in there, if you...

Btw, Darksider. I will say this: I really miss STGOD4. That was some real fun times.

Jester, you left out "I don't have time for this".

It's very important because that's where you both diminish the person you're talking to and lay the ground work for their reply being a banable offense because your replies are just too arduous to write.

So mean to me...

This.

Especially his tidbit at the end complaining about how ethics hinders scientific research.

Dear Sciences, Take your smug sense of self-righteousness and shove it up your ass . Sincerely, The Humanities uh uh uh, nowadays it's all about the good humanities ppl (analytic philosophers and janice raymond) and how continental philosophy is all bullshit i was told this last by a video game web...

Dear Sciences,

Take your smug sense of self-righteousness and shove it up your ass.

Given Smith himself married a 14-year-old girl, I somehow doubt that. Call him a hypocrite if you want (frankly, this isn't an argument I care to have), but it is documented fact that he publically spoke out against plural marriage. While he was marrying people left right and sideways, including hi...

Is that a Nixon in China reference? Because if so... Niiiiiiice.

basically there's three levels of 'heaven'. generally bad folks are stuck in the lowest. generally good people are in the middle (judged by your own choices), and then exceptionally good people do who did it all go to the top... and if their knowledge is good enough, they may become like god themse...

Hold on a moment there, reread the King Follett discourses and the Book of Abraham, jesus christ is not necessary for salvation in Mormon theology.

ADR, did you go Mormon?

Apropos of nothing except my earlier post: Fuck "social justice" as a concept. I hate it, I hate the way it gets trotted out, and I hate the faux-leftism of those who advocate it from behind a laptop screen without engaging in some form of real world activism or any understanding of the in...

no group fighting for recognition and respect has ever been able to achieve it without using violence, or by acting in such a way so as to compel the state (or other powers that be) into violence against them that also legitimizes the users of those violent acts. define "group" and "...
