In what may be the most fitting use of the idiom, ever:

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

"Derailing" is apparently the new term for pointing out inconsistency and hypocrisy. Not really surprising, ideologies love redefining words.

We get it. Women are precious, delicate snowflakes who have to be protected from harsh language and a world that is out to make a meal out of them, and society has to do it, because they're too fragile to do it for themselves.

Wait, what do you mean that's not the message feminism is trying to send? Could have fooled me.

Wow, you're delusional.

While they may be the team that would exercise their hypocrisy by making that particular suggestion, it's only in expression that their hypocrisy differs from that of their "rivals," not intensity.

Silly submitter, "sexism" is just fine. It's just misogyny that's not allowed. When did the concept of "subset" fall so far from general understanding?

Ah well. Fark has been as relevant to me as Jezebel or Stormfront since about the turn of the century, so I'll just go on not giving a fuck.

Are you my sister-in-law?

I've been trying for decades to get my mother to understand the difference between a kitchen freezer, and a cryostasis chamber...

In common practice against corporations, maybe, but there are absolutely criminal penalties to be had.

Nah, he's right. When your skills get "sufficiently advanced" and your needs spread into the more esoteric corners of the house of horrors, you run into even more half-done, half-assed, all-broken aspects of the language.

To this day, I'm not quite sure what the point was in implementing an SSL API that has no way to check for certificate revocation (the whole point of certificate-based security)...

Back when I had to explain this to some students I was tutoring, I basically said that HTML and CSS aren't programming languages, they're input.

They seemed to understand it after that (they were, apparently, a lot sharper than what passes for slashdotters, these days)

Not even close. I still pull it out every six months or so and spend a week re-watching it.

Check out "Matters of Honor" (S03E01) and "Voices of Authority" (S03E05). At the end of the former, it's revealed that Morden (faceman for the Shadows) is conspiring with PsiCorps and members of the Senate. In the latter, the communication Ivanova intercepts reveals that the Shadows, via Morden again, set up the assassination.

They did

I wonder if my favorite bug/misfeature will make the cut and be enshrined forever, because it's *fun* when a successful database instruction throws an exception.

Same story, with the addendum that my obvious lack of interest hasn't stopped them from spamming me every 3-6 months to try to sign up again.

It's hardly limited to that.

* The 20% of the country's land area called "the bible belt", especially the more rural chunks of it fit neatly into that box.

* Enough of the boob-tube watching population that it's a trope second only to "oafish husband-father/long-suffering wife-mother."

* All of Washington DC.

Had a Nexus 5 for about a week. Couldn't stand it. I'll keep an eye out for the OnePlus One, and keep my old Evo 4G alive until then. Thanks :)
