if someone comes along and starts using your hole, you'd reasonably expect to get paid for it
well, generally you buy them dinner first and get them interested, then you can use their hole all you want. If you mean a hole in the ground, then no, you don't get paid just because you did something useful. Should've negotiated payment before working.
Yes, it's possible to have Sprite cravings - you can crave just about anything. My cravings are for Coke specifically, and it may be psychological. Makes no difference, though, since I still get them.
who exactly are you talking about? Engineer doesn't mean 'socially maladjusted loner', although there is a high correlation with pervert. We like perverts
And yet soda with HFCS triggers craving with me that is absent when drinking real sugar soda. So who the hell cares about the specifics of the chemistry?
what basis do you have to judge broadband on the same standard as CPU speed? It's well known as a radical outlier to the point that it's the subject of jokes.
I really like this part of it - I have some of the local venues on my list, so I get to see which acts are playing when with out going to a bunch of websites. That, and one club in particular likes to run a bunch of theme nights, and FB is handy for that.
Besides, how else do you propose we organize a roving house party with in excess of 100 attendees every week for the post college crowd?
What's your point, exactly? I'm saying that the law about molestation is absurdly overbroad and all I get from you is some pap about them being different, as if that made any comparison or discussion moot. 'Different culture' is the sort of thing you say when you can't bring yourself to admit that some cultures are better than others.
And the laws in sweden don't match the culture; some of them (the ones on molestation in particular) were put in place by some batshit insane feminists and persist to this day. Again, douchebaggery sucks, but shouldn't be illegal.
as an aside, the 'their culture' thing is just a copout - it's perfectly fine to call someone on their bullshit, and cultural relativism just hinders communication.
Journalists seem to think they ought to be exempt from the regular laws.
Duh. Publish a story about some local corruption and the cops can just bring you in and question you about your sources, then go after them, ensuring that there is no next expose. Or you have a shield that precludes that sort of questioning.
So you're saying that America is equivalent to Afghanistan? I suppose when you've got laws that criminalise making a woman uncomfortable, you might take that position.

Dude, rednecks don't buy penis pills.
If so, what prevents me from calling and saying I'm you and that I'm in Milan?
If it's a legitimate call, then you probably called well ahead of time.

I can't think of much more awkward than breaking in 72 virgins.

He's probably talking about Mandated reporters
Why would you expect it to?
in west seattle, I pay about $45 for 6Mb burstable to 12.
what basis do you have to judge broadband on the same standard as CPU speed? It's well known as a radical outlier to the point that it's the subject of jokes.
well, ok, there is that...
nah, the alleged practice of keeping people as temps until just before they'd be required to make them permanent is what bothers me.
You mean the employers that screw their employees out of a fair deal whilst skirting the edge of the law? Is that really a bad thing?
The ability to get peoples' wall posts automatically on SMS is pretty creepy, you gotta admit.

wow, that's some serious irnoy - the last president with an econ degree came up with supply side economics (yes, I know it's a political slogan)
What amuses me is how the same people who hate hollywood and liberals worship a hack actor like some sort of god.
If you were fishing for engineers, it would help to know which city you're in.
Oh sure, you increase the labor supply with people who can't easily switch jobs, then mumble something about paying market wages. Seriously?
