Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I've been teaching since August, and they don't have any sort of grooming requirements, so I've been letting my beard grow out. Well, I couldn't get any sections for summer, so I'm going back to pizza delivery, which means I had to shave. Smooth cheeks are really strange.

Re: Naked Roommate
Well I feel silly. I guess I should look at the date before commenting (I assumed Katya's presence had something to do with a board reunion or some such.)

Re: Naked Roommate
Oh my goodness. This is why I find it so difficult to read the board these days (and Kudos to Katya for walking that line and doing a little bit of much-needed chewing out while still being board appropriate.) My only response to that fellow would be "mind your own business, women actually don'...

Re: Naked Roommate
And in case anyone is wondering, (or any men might potentially be in a situation like this with me) I totally count as an old man. Sorry for the TMI.

Re: Naked Roommate
I think an actually naked roommate outside their bathroom/bedroom areas is breaking some social norms. My social norms at least. For women, I'll take your word for it. For men, it varies. Especially with age. Many older men have zero issue being all sorts of naked in front of other people. Reminded...

Re: Naked Roommate
That's....pretty messed up, in a lot of different ways. I love how the question-asker totally implied that her boyfriend was uncomfortable too. I'm sure she didn't even ask him whether or not he cared. I really hate when women police other women's bodies "for the sake of the men." Like, if...

So...did I miss something? The writers seemed to have a lot of inside info. Was there a prior question or something?

Re: conservative people, who will you vote for?
(Incidentally, this is probably why most people on the left will be instantly skeptical of anyone who puts Bernie Sanders and communism in the same sentence, even if it is in fact justified.... Even in broad strokes, I'm not sure this is defensible. Communism fundamentally means eliminating individ...

Re: conservative people, who will you vote for?
I think political compass has it about right, although I would put Bush a bit further to the left than he currently is (and who knows where the hell Trump actually is.) I think there's greater difference between Sanders and Clinton than Clinton and the centrist Republicans (at least, what can be cal...

Re: Rant of the Day
I'm pretty sure it indicates that Sanders is actually a Disney princess.TheBlackSheep wrote:GOOD GRAVY PEOPLE IT'S A BIRD. IT IS NOT THE SECOND COMING OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST JESUS.
Which is good, because they've never had a Jewish princess.
Or a male princess.

Re: 85833 - Second Anointing
Yeah, I don't know how "rare" it is, exactly, nor does April Ludgate have any indication of how rare it is. Like she says, those cases aren't publicized.
However, they USED to be, and so we have a fair amount of information to go on.

But I don't want to stir the hornet's nest on that one again.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
One of my colleagues is presenting at a "local" conference this Friday. I told her I would come support her and asked where it would be. Apparently it was going to be at BYU but was moved to UVU last minute. I'll be honest, it feels somewhat surreal to have my current and former academic w...

Re: What's your favorite cheese?
Oh, also I totally forgot about cotija! Cotija is the best for enchiladas (done the real way.) If you've got a bunch of rolled up tortillas covered in cheddar, you're doing it wrong.

Re: What's your favorite cheese?
Hoo boy. Cheese is one of the great pleasures of life. Here's a few of my preferences: Melted on a (medium-rare) burger, nothing beats jack. Not pepper jack, not Colby jack, just jack. On sandwiches, it varies depending on the meat, but smoked gouda is great with Italian meats (salami or prosciutto,...
