Americans With Disabilities Act, not American Dental Association
Reminds me of a web-design instructor in highschool who was real big on trying to make one's sites disabled-accessible. For instance, make the site decipherable and navigable by screen readers for the blind
I assume you mean that the social awkwardness makes it harder to get laid. I actually once told a doctor that that was my "birth control plan". I suppose anti-STD plan too. (and if I do get lucky, condoms)
Yeah, I follow musicians instead of actors/actresses, but I also manage to be interested in their work while mostly avoiding the TMZ-type BS. However, some of the aforementioned celebrities are hot babes that I do see sexually in addition to artistically.:)
Musicians' political activism sometimes grates on me as well.
I did sort of refer to that, with "not that extremely bland slabs work either". Yes, I agree there are some practical benefits to good building aesthetics, though I saw that as more of an issue of lively interior design. Some of architecture is very utilitarian, no issues there
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mohandas Gandhi
Jesus Himself does in many ways seem like a positive example; people following the obnoxious behavior of the Old Testament God seems to be the issue IMHO. Christians not partaking of such behavior is good, but in some ways they seem to be glossing over that issue in the Book.
I minimize that issue rather than eliminate it. I simply have all of my power cords (tower, monitor, router, printer) plugged into a surge protector which is then plugged into the wall. However, I once opened an external hard drive enclosure and put the actual drive inside the tower. There it's hooked up like any other external part.
Are devices that draw power via USB any easier for you?
Hell, I'm only 21 and I'm already getting tired of office work. Immediate supervisors and co-workers have generally been fairly easy to deal with, but seemingly-illogical aspects of the organizational bureaucracy frustrate me to no end.
I admit I have some bad habits that don’t make things any easier (“easily distracted” and my FUBAR sleep/caffeine habits come to mind).
I also admit that more experience/acclimatization could be helpful, that I may find a better specific environment, and that I likely can’t escape yet anyway.
However, I’d feel so much better about a successful dealer business in my collectibles hobbies of choice. I like what I’ve done on the side, now only to scale it up (Your specific field of endeavor is different, but in many aspects I feel the same way.)
Reminds me of a few teachers I know (at levels below college) who were driven up the wall by lazy/misbehaving students [the causes of that problem are another discussion]
Maybe _teaching_ at the college level is better that working on nonacademic staff [one of the aforementioned teachers moved to a college tutoring job and says that he likes helping people that actually want to be helped.
I interpreted that as cosm saying the overemphasis on gyms and sports programs is anti-intellectual/barbaric in addition to costing too much. Maybe art deco in particular is an old style, but I see the point about overly fancy art/architecture being one more thing to blow money on (not that extremely bland slabs work either)
Not exactly a cornerstone, but in I recall seeing a plaque at Rochester NY's Wilson High (then called West High) commemorating students who went off to fight in World War _One_, dating the building to about that 100-year timeframe. (It happens to be a few years older)
I did already think of the one-room-schoolhouse more as a 19th-century thing.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." - Richard Dawkins, in The God Delusion
Also, Susan B. Anthony's "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.". However, if there actually was an omnipotent but obnoxious god, would the omnipotence require us to acquiesce to the obnoxiousness?

Some hard-line Japanese had wanted to keep fighting even after the atomic bombs were dropped.

That it's related to backwards compatibility has to do with vlm's point AFAIK.
sounds more like a 208 week strategy to me

ah, People Eating Tasty Animals :P
bought a package of chicken nuggets, a frozen pepperoni pizza and 2 pounds of cheese yesterday, just for you.
"So PETA's gonna launch a porn site to raise awareness of veganism?
I think I'm gonna broil a steak to raise awareness of sexual exploitation."

I've listened to that Pink Floyd song many times before, and even my dirty mind hadn't heard it like that. :)

Yeah, normally the term "medical tourism" seems to be associated with simply getting commonly available procedures on the cheap

Yeah, that made it pretty obvious to me as well.
Could this have anything to do with dodging anti-science policies of the American far right?
There it's hooked up like any *internal* part, sorry.

I estimated 63 (7 multiplied by 9) because 11 percent is about one ninth

maybe there are similarities that are related to having the same career, even though they work in that career for competing organizations
So y6ou're saying Katy Perry's onto something?
Your suggestion would also work for half the population ... the half I'm not in. :P
Your non-heteronormative phrasing reminds me of some discussions where both heterosexual males and homosexual females are _discussing_ pretty ladies.
