Whine whine rant rant Weight Watchers
shoesonwrong:
“Women with PCOS have different metabolisms, and it’s just not fair. I know you’re eating well and exercising a lot, but if weight loss is important to you, you will have to do even more, and it’s just not fair.”

When a doctor essentially said to me, “This happens because of cysts on your ovaries, not because you are lazy, and it’s not fair.” I felt, for the first time,...
how we fight at tumblr.
me: You could make the chat post cooler. I always see a lot of opportunities with chat posts.
peter: it's about the CONTENT, don't you know that?
me: I know that (under breath) I know that but I'm not so sure YOU do.
peter: what did you just fucking say to me?
me: NOTHING!
this sounds so familiar.

finding happiness in the bottom of a diaper
funsizebytes:
Does this make me regret having a kid? Does it mean you shouldn’t have kids? Does it mean that children don’t make parents happy? Do I need to punch you in the face to get the obviousness of these questions?
Being a parent means a tradeoff. A lot of tradeoffs. Thinking that kids = more happiness is a nice romantic idea not supported by actual research.
It’s interesting...

finding happiness in the bottom of a diaper
inthefade:
I wrote this for an article that never happened. I actually had it open in Word today because I was going to take parts of it out for a different article. Then shoesonwrong posted about the pressure to have kids and cssboy responded about it being a personal decision and I figured, what the hell, I’ll just put it on tumblr.
Does having kids make you happy?

haha, I linked Klondike to this via IM which he then twittered. it got picked up by kevin and now I’m reblogging it.

I have all this baby pressure shit coming in at me from all sides. Friends, family… well, that’s about it. Strangers aren’t approaching me and asking me why I am sans offspring. Yet.
We had our first kid while we were pretty young. I was 23, my wife was only 18. We weren’t married at the time she got pregnant. At the time, I can remember feeling like I totally wasn’t...

Wow. Just.. Wow.
Missed Connection →
A friend used my email to post this Missed Connection. He then IM’d me to ask if I’d publish it for him, and if I could “throw some spice in there”.
I love you, internet. You make it hard sometimes. But I love you anyway.
On college students:
shoesonwrong:
(For the record, I once was sick in a class during a test. The professor wouldn’t believe me because he was such a hard ass — until I threw up ON the test. At which point he told me to get a doctor’s note and come back with it, then I could take a make up exam. He was the most unforgiving, unbending professor who expected more out of his students than anyone else and wouldn’t...
Wherein Sniffy opines on American football
delgrosso:
“Men in tights and half-body armour? Very impressive.”
The quote itself does not do justice to the dripping sarcasm in her voice when she said this to me.
respectfully disagree, I felt the sarcasm as shards of ice through my heart. et tu, sniffy?
D'Artagnan Duels
This is the idea:
Someone dresses up like D’Artagnan from the Musketeers. Fancy clothes. A big hat. Pencil stache. The whole picture.
Find a place that teaches fencing. Go there. Challenge everyone to a duel. The receptionist. People on the street. The janitor. Children. Everyone.
Get very angry and shout in French. Doesn’t have to really be French. Can be anything. Whatever.

PSA - soda cans
if you’re going to attempt to drink a can of soda, which is generally an ill-advised act to begin with, you might want to make sure that the little tab part that opens it is pointed the right way.
if you don’t make sure it’s going the right way and pry it up anyway, the can won’t open and the tab will probably pop off in your face. with some luck, it might miss your eye...

Why You Should Switch from Subversion to Git →
davidkaneda:
mikemccarron:
This article on Carsonified explains why GIT is fundamentally better then SVN and why it’s worth the switch.
This is definitely something I’d like to start looking into, especially now that jQuery is making the switch as well. If only there was a pretty GUI that handled it.
perhaps not as pretty as some existing svn interfaces, but i’ve found gitx a pretty...

His newest tricks
Every time he sees some money, he grabs it and asks “Is this money for buying toys?” and it sounds not quite like a question, and a little too much like a demand, and where do I hand in my parenting license? Do I need to fill out a form or something? What window?
Also, on a less horrifying note, he has recently leveled up his vocal expression of frustration and disgust techniques.

How To Beat Up Anything →
srslainey:
Once in a while you come across a site that is really well done, but not much to look at. Not that it needs to be. The writing is really clever. One of my favorites is How To Beat Up Batman. Check it out.
