Uh. RT @tlrd Tennessee Lawmaker Warns Parents Not to Watch 'Modern Family' Because Children Might Discover Gays Exist http://www.towleroad.com/2012...
I really struggle wondering what is wrong with people sometimes. This is one of those times. - caj needs a haircut from FFHound!
Gay people exist? Who knew? - DB - Just DB from Android
Because there are no gays in Tennessee at all - tiffany from Android
Good grief. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
tiffany - indeed. well they're there, but they lead the choir on Sunday mornings. so that's okay. my dad's brother (who passed several years ago) was gay. we all knew it, but nobody talked about it. and while he was genuinely loved and accepted - as was his partner (though he is a little bit harder to love) - the full expression of their affection or acknowledgement of their... more... - MoTO Bott
I can't believe it wasn't Campfield. - Rachel Walden
*sigh* sometimes I don't like my state very much... - ~Courtney F. from Android
Unfortunately, I have family members who feel the same way. - Alan
I feel you, Courtney - Missourian --> - Webgoddess Needs A Drink
I should warn all children to stay off the internets and not read or watch the news or they might learn that bigots like this asshole exist. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I still haven't gotten a response from the TN *(D)* party leaders about their not denouncing an (R) rep who said on the record that he'd "stomp" any transgender woman who happened to come near his family in a public place. - Rachel Walden
My parents were born and raised in Tennessee and while I'd like to think that this isn't the norm, and we see ourselves as educated, smart, and rational people, the truth is there are a LOT of people who simply don't understand the gays. We see it in politics, in "family values", in hypocritical politicians, during elections; whenever you want a lightning bolt of derision to rile people up, talk about equality for gays whether it's marriage or rights in general, and there you go. - Derrick
Rachel - have you seen this from the Tennessee Equality Project - http://grand-divisions.blogspot.com/2012... - ~Courtney F.
Things like this are so depressing. People just refuse to move forward, and they even want to poison the minds of the children with this bigotry so that after the current idiots are dead, we still won't move forward in the future. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
South Pacific had a song that still resonates--"They Have to be Taught." That one was about racism, but it applies pretty well to sexuality issues as well. Gotta' bring 'em up narrow-minded and hateful, otherwise the hate might fade away. - Walt Crawford
Thanks, Courtney! - Rachel Walden

Riding with ankle weights http://t.co/9BQr1qWB
Riding with ankle weights http://t.co/9BQr1qWB
Poor horse. - Eivind
i'm more impressed by the biking naked - SteVe C
What's the difference between this and resistance settings? - Mo Kargas
Not much - Johnny from iPhone
Surely ankle weights would have little or no effect on the effort expended on a bike? You know, because the one pedal is directly connected to the other, so the weight on one leg is counterbalanced by the weight on the other leg. If anything, I'd say the weights would give you a slight assist. - Slippy
My thighs respectfully disagree :) - Johnny from iPhone
It works as an opposite. While yes the extra weight would help on the down stroke, I still have to lift my other leg with the weight on it. I eaither have all that weight on the up pedal whicj means I have to push it up on the down stroke or lift my leg with the weight on it. Add to that I now have 2Kg strapped to each ankle, that forces me to adjust my balance, working my core. - Johnny from iPhone
Might get some and see what a difference it makes - Mo Kargas
I can get that, and I'm not going to argue with your thighs, obviously, but the weight on your left foot on its downstroke is assisting the right foot in its upstroke. I think. My physics-fu is rusty from years without training. Of course, if you lift off the pedal on the upstroke, you're making both legs work at the same time, increasing the workload throughout. - Slippy

I'm thinking of picking a random friend on Facebook and just switching my status to "married" to them. So far the top candidates are, in no particular order. Melly, Pea, Holly, Katie, MC, or Johnny. I would then wait 2 days, switch it back to single at 2:35am, and proceed not to log into Facebook for a solid week.
Aden, you didn't make the list because I wasn't confident that I could give you up after 2 days ;) - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
This is making me lol. - Mary Carmen
It would totally mess with very one I know who isn't on FF lol - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
The odd thing is that Facebook will show (at least some) relationships even if the other party doesn't consent O_o (I have some cousins I refuse to acknowledge - my sibs know better than to try that ish on me). - Tinfoil 2.0
you can mark cousins now? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
I had someone who is not a cousin mark me as one and I still had to approve it? - holly #ravingfangirl

No. I have completely separate contact lists in different tools/services, though I suspect my motivations may be different than yours ;) - Tinfoil 2.0
the whole conception of gmail contacts sucks donkey balls. there isn't really any other way to describe it as far as I can tell. - Laura Norvig
I have enough trouble with the Outlook integration causing duplicate contacts. - Stephen Mack
I made a group in my Mac address book called Contacts with phones. I sync that one to my iPhone - G Dub of the Carolinas
I finally got organized and I'm syncing my blackberry, ipad and gmail contacts. I love it! - Juan Pablo González

Bryan Fuller's 'Hannibal' gets NBC series order | Inside TV | EW.com - http://insidetv.ew.com/2012...
Bryan Fuller's 'Hannibal' gets NBC series order | Inside TV | EW.com
"We were always bullish on this one. Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal project just got a direct-to-series order. NBC has picked up 13 episodes of the thriller TV series based on Thomas Harris’ classic cannibal serial killer. Logline: “One-hour contemporary thriller series featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon – FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter – who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship.”" - SteVe C from Bookmarklet
The first question is who will play Lecter — a part that one could argue is either a dream role, or a thankless gig considering the inevitable comparisons to Anthony Hopkins’ Oscar-winning take on the character. Another question: How much will NBC push the envelope with the original tale’s gory content? - SteVe C
I'm gonna go ahead and assume i'm watching this one alone in our house - SteVe C
I'll watch it. - Tamara J.
Yep this got a no from wifey - SteVe C
Hmmmmm. If it were some other network besides NBC, I might think this had a shot. Especially a cable network. But NBC? Where shows go to die... - The original Kevin

If you think you can catch the gay from a TV show, then we really can't begin to list all the problems you are likely to have.
everybody knows you can only catch the gay from a drinking fountain. - MoTO Bott
Um, no MoTO - that's black - you catch the black from a drinking fountain. To catch the gay, you have to use a public restroom. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but that's what I heard and I totally believe it!! - Webgoddess Needs A Drink
This thread. I love y'all. - LB so u no it's real
well, I use public drinking fountains, and I'm black, ergo... I also use public restrooms..... oh wow. - MoTO Bott
I thought you caught the gay from dancing and accidentally bumping into them. Or "accidentally". - Nine
I avoid Tennessee lawmakers so I don't catch the blind stupidity. - Zamms

Apparently sleeping isn't much of a problem.

I think you just gave me sleep envy. :) - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
Wow. - Betsy
I've never used the sleep tracker. I'm afraid of what it might show. - Katy S
so effen jealous. mine stays in the 74%. once it went up to 87% but i had taken an ambien that night. - Lnorigb
How are you tracking this? I'm interested. - Brian Johns
Brian, FitBit. - Derrick
Before you go to sleep, you long press the button on the fitbit to start the timer. When you wake up, you long press again to stop. It'll keep track of movement during that time to guess your sleep efficiency. - Rodfather
Amazing piece of technology. - AJ Batac :)
how does it know when you actually fall asleep??? (do you know how much money I had to spend to have a sleep clinic tell me these things?? and how many electrodes??) - RudĩϐЯaЯïan
It knows when you stopped moving - even small restless motions - and calls that "asleep". It then puts red spikes in every time you move in the night, on the assumption that sleeping people don't actually move. - Jenica
key word in Rodfathers comment, "guess." - Lnorigb
You can move during non-REM sleep, but you shouldn't be able to move during REM sleep (although people with certain parasomnias obviously do), and the assumption is that the longer you're in REM, the better quality your sleep is. - Victor Ganata
It seems that even if the world is caving in around me (and the past couple weeks have been particularly stressful), I can still get a relatively good night's sleep. - Derrick
Heap of shit IMHO. Mine died after a month - Mo Kargas
There's an iPhone app for that. - Nakachi
What if your sleep movement is to take off the FitBit? :-) - Betsy
I did that the first night. :) - Jenica

Could be a fun day to work from home - this is the day the flippers across the street have suddenly decided to put on a much needed new roof before selling. This is also the day that it's supposed to rain for the first time in recorded history in So Cal. Planning for the win!
Hmm they ripped off all the roof including plywood by 9am this morning. Since then nothing, nothing but rain off and on and a naked roof. My guess they hired one company to do demo and another to do the roof the next day and didn't plan on rain. - SteVe C

Just got a call from the DA....
Apparently, my DL has been suspended since 12/21 and they sent the notification to my old address. So, I've been riding around for over a month now with my kids and everything and could have been sent to jail had I even got pulled over for anything. - Rah-PM 2012

I feel nauseous as hell now. I am not street legal. How does this help me pay my obligations, again? - Rah-PM 2012
Yikes! - Spidra Webster
Sounds like a new DA. She actually didn't talk down to me like poop she just scraped off her shoe. Gave me a reasonable option to resolve the situation. Not that I actually have the money, but she's being flexible. - Rah-PM 2012
Good luck, Rah. - Stephen Mack

"Shen Kuo or Shen Gua (Chinese: 沈括; pinyin: Shěn Kuò; Wade–Giles: Shen K'uo) (1031–1095), style name Cunzhong (存中) and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (夢溪翁),[1] was a polymathic Chinese scientist and statesman of the Song Dynasty (960–1279). Excelling in many fields of study and statecraft, he was a mathematician, astronomer, meteorologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist, pharmacologist, agronomist, archaeologist, ethnographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, general, diplomat, hydraulic engineer, inventor, academy chancellor, finance minister, governmental state inspector, poet, and musician." - Eivind from Bookmarklet

That's a useful term I was unaware of. Thanks, Shawn :) - Eivind
no problemo, that reminds me I should update my Goodreads - The Real sofarsoShawn
Yes, thanks, Shawn. Pull quote: "Ressentiment is a reassignment of the pain that accompanies a sense of one's own inferiority/failure onto an external scapegoat. The ego creates the illusion of an enemy, a cause that can be "blamed" for one's own inferiority/failure. Thus, one was thwarted not by a failure in oneself, but rather by an external "evil." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Micah
My mind is blown that they had the gall to put together a panel like this, ALL FREAKING MALE, to discuss something that affects WOMEN'S health.

Hillarious! Have anybody read "Sexing the body" (http://www.amazon.com/Sexing-...) ? It's about gender politics but based mostly on intersex people problem in USA right now.

"I love Mardi Gras, since I learned that it’s not just about watching 20-year-olds do things that will end up on Facebook pages and ruin their future careers. Throughout the Gulf coast, Mardi Gras is a party that matters; it ties communities together. The political realities are complicated, but as parades roll through neighborhoods, families of many colors scream and cheer for the many colored paraders. There is a joy on the street. You don’t see doffed shirts, but you do see, as I did in uptown New Orleans, a black man pick up a white child so he has a better chance of catching the throws. You do also occasionally see, as I did, a married woman give a cop a kiss on the mouth and slip him her phone number. Just because it’s family fun doesn’t mean it’s fun for all families." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Logical != scientific. Yes, you need logic to do science, but you also need empiricism.
i would call that logically redundancy: as you'd need (obvi) logic to discern you need empiricism so that it equates to science - The Real sofarsoShawn
You don't necessarily even need logic at all, but direct proof via plain observation is impossible in a lot of cases, so you often need to rely on inference. - Victor Ganata
