My mom got me a good pan, but it's too small to make a substantial omelet. I can't remember the material used in it.

Can you believe my original comment got up to a score of 4, Informative? It got downgraded to 3, and I'm kinda glad for that. I'm not being informative in the slightest.

I've always thought it wasn't good for you either way, but thanks to you and others on slashdot, maybe I'll save some money and grow accustomed to the teflon flavor.

I'm lending Obama my pan. I liked the guy, but he needs all the help he can get at this point.

I'm pretty sure there was a report of SOME guy dying. Let me look it up.

*intermission*

Oops, you were right, if this was the case I was recalling.

But the top result for my search (keywords "guy dies from popcorn") was a man being shot for eating popcorn too loudly in the theater during a screening of 'Black Swan', while the third result was a man dying on Popcorn Road. I'm an evil person, because I've got 'Thunder Road' by Springsteen in my head, only it's Popcorn Road.

Frankly, I think it's awesome that we've gone from talking about scientific exploration on Mars to an in-depth discussion about microwaved popcorn. Oh, internet, I love thee.

Oooh, I loved that man... and that moment.

Cant be necessarily GOOD for me, though. Serious, it looks like I cracked a shitton of fresh pepper on my eggs every time I use the thing. Pretty soon, I will be unstickable.

Whoa, Mr. Serious McSnarky! Calm yourself, I was just enjoying going on an OT rant.

Perhaps not poisonous, per se, but to hell with my eggs looking like I sprinkled bits of burned tinfoil all over them. I'm so over that.

I remember the guy who died because of his addiction to smelling microwaved popcorn at a constant.

It's flaking off, so yuh-huh.

...mainly because every time I hear the word 'teflon', it reminds me that I really, really gotta throw that pan out before I get poisoned by the stuff. Seriously, why am I still using the thing? Everything sticks to it, and I'm actually eating teflon flakes.

But yea, Mars and stuff.

Competition is good for some things, but not all. For instance, there are ideas which can't be done by just one group/country due to massive amounts of $$$ needed, amongst other things. An expedition to Mars would need a collaborative effort, going by what it'd take to get there.

I think it's a little sad to think that a figurative dick-waving is what you have to do in order to get anything done, the idea that "haha, we're better than you!" urging us on instead of, "OMG, if we'd all stfu and combine resources, we could be on Mars by such-n-such a year!"

Remember, if Keith, Princess Allura, Pidge, Hunk, Sven and Lance had this attitude, they never would have been able to fight off the Robeasts. Amirite?

Does anyone have a clue why they want to do it by them selves?

Why not? We did, and our economy sucks harder than theirs. Some things we've done are a combined effort, but in the beginning it wasn't just by ourselves, but a race. It may as well have been Space Olympics.

But I do agree, everyone coming together would get more done. Maybe we'd actually learn to play nice, as well.

Never said she wasn't, did I? And I also never said every man is against women, did I? Gave as generic statements as I could, never once claiming to "know you".

Dropping it, cos' I am sick of it.

This whole comment sounds like Tommy Wiseau wrote it.

It's funny that with every comment made about women being abused, it becomes a tit-for-tat session, wherein men jump up and yell, "MEN are abused TOO!" Yes, they are. There are plenty of abusive women out there. There, does that validate anything? And have I denied anything, saying that men AREN'T abused anywhere in this thread? No, I haven't. I'm sick and tired of having to validate this crap, and the fact that men are starting this movement as if they're suddenly second-class citizens is so absurd to me.

Whether or not men get treated badly for being men in general, it is most definitely not a given, and most certainly not at the degree that women are subjected to in being women. You don't have to carry mace or other weaponry when going down a dark street because women pose a threat to you, generally-speaking. You get paid more than the woman next to you doing the same work in many cases. You all but get a parade if you stick around to be a father, as if that shouldn't be a given, while a professional woman working outside the home has to deal with people saying, "But don't you want to be home with your kids?" to her at a constant, painting her as a bad mother for not wanting to leave a high-paying career and become a housewife.

The fact that you perceive a woman wanting change and respect, whether in a professional field, not reproducing and being their own person as "being treated like a man" says a lot. Your comment, I have never understood why a woman would want to be treated like a man, when men are truthful they will tell you they adore and look up to the women in their lives. = Giving up admiration if they don't want kids, want to work a professional job, etc., the things women SHOULD be doing, amirite?

We don't want to be men. We just want the men who say "what's she doing outta the kitchen?? HAR HAR!" to stfu. We want the general, flippant disrespect to stop. That's not women's rights, it's common decency between evolved humans.

The last link is just awesomesauce. That is all.
