Comment State dependant learning (Score 1) 823

Just train yourself to act in a traditional nerd fashion during the work day and model your behavior after those around you in non nerd settings when away from work. This seems obvious but the key to making this work as second nature for you is to consume reasonable quantities of caffeine during the work portion of the day and consume reasonable amounts of alcohol during social outings. In no time you will have your brain trained to act like a self righteous jerk at work and the life of the party when you are out. I have always assumed that was why schools tried to push students to have enough going on that it would be difficult to get adequate sleep while at the same time never completely cutting off access to alcohol at parties.

I agree with you on the watering down of the term fascism, but I disagree with your assessment on terrorism. With the current fringe elements having such a strong position in the current political scene what is really blatant terrorism can't be called terrorism because it was done by a brave American patriot. In a world where there can be a televised debate whether shooting a standing congressman was terrorism or patriotism how could anything short of destroying a populated building really be a terrorist act.

Comment How I got my wife hooked (Score 1) 655

Start with the tenth doctor (David Tennant) and Rose unless she can make it through the ninth doctor (Christopher Eccleston) without getting bored so she is caught up on the dynamic. My wife was just ok on the ninth, but liked Rose enough to watch. David Tennant is the doctor as far as she is concerned and she is a true convert since him.
