Hello? Have you have your sarcasm detector surgically removed?
And please don't do that fucking boneheaded bit with the fucking asterisks. If you're really fucking old enough to say "fuck" and that's what you fucking mean, then fucking say "fuck", already. Otherwise, just fucking use a different fucking word.
You've never lived or spent much time in Sweden, have you?
It's true that relations between the sexes are rather different here than most places I've been. The difference is that women here are brought up to believe that they're fully equal to men, and they're not obligated in any way to do whatever men tell them to do simply because they're women.
It might not be what you're used to (and it took me a few years to adjust to it, myself), but to dismiss it as "misandry" is a complete mischaracterisation.
1998-2004: worked from home as a freelancer; 2004-2007: full-time job working from home (the company didn't even have an office in the country where I was living at the time); 2007-present: after transferring to my employer's home country, have continued to work from home whenever I feel like it (which is most of the time).
Somebody would have to give me a LOT of money before I'd agreed to be forced to work in an office 40 hours/week again.
We'll get back to you in 30-40 years and see how you feel about it then.
Or (here come the troll mods) if you're that dissatisfied with your own life, go right ahead and...
But no, you're just mouthing off, aren't you?
I'm 51, my life and work are going pretty well, my health is good, and I'm getting married in a few weeks. I've got every reason to believe that I'm good for another 25-30 years, at least--most of my forebears and their immediate kin have lived at least into their 80s in good health, and I've one great-great-uncle who lived to be 106. (They found him one evening leaned up against a fencepost, where he'd evidently stopped to take a little break whilst making his daily walk around his farm. Nothing wrong with him, the doctor said, except that he finally just wore out.)
If you think I'm tossing away everything I've worked for and the advantages I've likely inherited a mere 9 years hence in order to meet some half-assed expectation of yours, think again, kiddo.
I intend to be living a fantastic life and raising hell for another decade or three yet. Deal with it.
Haven't bothered with FB in a while, but they were serving me heaps of "Meet a Chinese|Thai Woman" ads,probably based on my having friends in and/or having posted photos from trips to those places. This in spite of the fact that my prefs have indicated from Day One that I was either in a relationship or engaged to be married, and I've never selected any options that would indicate I'm looking to hook up. Haven't actually logged in since I changed my status from "Relationship" to "Engaged" some months back, though--maybe I should go see if that makes any difference.

Woohoo! The Cloud is the solution to all our problems! We're saved!

Death to all fanatics!
Please don't try to redefine words to suit your agenda. It does not make you look smart.
I don't like Monsanto any more than you do, but you are simply projecting.
The article says this appears to be better for the weeds. It does not say this is a Generally Good Thing(TM).
As luck would have it, I was reading this earlier today...
Come now, are you really saying that you've no powers of inductive reasoning and/or imagination?
Simply put, foreknowledge of what the archives contain allows the bad actors to put out pre-emptive FUD.
No. We're talking about the plants here, so that's "disadvantageous" from the viewpoint of the plants.
The Nazis were not left-wing, the appearance of the word "socialist" in the official name for their party notwithstanding.
(ProTip: Calling a tail a leg does not make it one.)
I spent some years as a reporter, and I never advocated anyone's death (violent or otherwise), on or off the air.

You can literally turn EVERYTHING into a weapon, given creativity.
I find myself thinking this every time I go through airport security.
The simplest explanation is, "That that is, is".
Guess again, sockpuppet.
Hook, line, and sinker.

Maybe you should fix your projection first.
That's an issue with semantics, not grammar.

IOW social engineering is the solution?

I saw contrails that persisted for hours, some years before you were even born.
I can't help but associate nutjobs like these with folks like al-Shabab, who, in trying to "save" Somalia from the West, have managed to reintroduce polio there.
The ICA Supermarket on Lillåvägen in Bagarmossen has heaps of pre-emptied spray bottles for sale (as of yesterday evening when I did some shopping there).
