I don't hate change. I just don't like unnecessary change that removes some of my favourite parts of browsing this site.
Also, the fact that the story can scroll higher than the right menu is aesthetically disorienting.

The coolest part of the BSG opening was missed. Not that the cylons had a plan, but that you could keep track of the deaths from week to week.
@sportz.star: Thanks!
And I mean, basketball is about a lot more than dunking, but also making him wrong in his facts makes me happy. ^_^

My brother was watching ESPN this morning and the talking head on there said something like "90 games! That's a great women's achievement."
My brother agreed stating only two women basketball players can dunk. Where did he even get that stat?

They spelled TLC wrong. I mean, who thought there was a W?
This may have just inspired me to write my paper. I want to be able to BS as well as you when I grow up.
@AlabamaWorley: Clearly. I now have the power to approve comments and stuff, and I just used it for good. I clearly deserve my shiny new star.

Wait, I've been commenting regularly on Jezebel for over a year and irregularly on io9 for more than that, and I may or may not have gotten a star on LifeHacker for a question.
Well, good to know who loves me. Yes hackers, I mean you, I'd heart you if I could. Also EricaHo, apparently.
Oh, sad day. It was taken away. I missed my glorious moment.
I take it back. Hate all around.

@A.Nonymous: This is my weakest password. For the various classes, are we saying if said computers devote all processing power to hacking my account? Or like, if it's trying to hack a few dozen Gawker accounts at once?
Also, that other link is pretty much exactly the reason why I never want to own a domain.

@50 Foot Queenie: I find that weekends have a disconnect with the weekday. This was even true in Hortense's day.
Okay, I don't get what's up with the debate about whether or not this is a stunt. Obviously it is, at least to an extent.
However, just because she's doing a creepy face thing and puts obvious effort into conforming to the beauty standards does not mean that is is solely an attention whoring attempt. Maybe she's outraged about the TSA policy and wants to protest in the most public way she can.
Even if it wasn't her sole goal, the invasiveness, ineffectiveness and inconvenience of the TSA's policies were certainly made apparent by her act.
Playboy does not negate any of that.

@ErasmusSB654: Psh, girl power. Who wants strong women in their novels? SciFi is all about dudes being dudes, amirite, bro?
@Holli_Golightly: Thanks!
Hopefully some more searching will get me something on Spivak pronouns since that's the direction I am looking for. And there I was thinking I finally came up with a paper that would be easy to research.

Doing a research paper on the failure of English speakers to adopt gender neutral pronouns. I found a few good articles on the shift to the third person plural, but if anyone could point me in the right direction for information on the movements for using pronouns such as xe and hir, I'd be grateful.
Also, scholarly journals are a plus, but I've got some lee-way.

I call lies. That was one of the most coherent scenes in all of A Scanner Darkly.
Now, his drug induced dream from the middle with the creature from an alternate dimension was fun. I wrote a very short paper on semiotics of that one.
