from a page about william gibson's books

quote:

Researcher Colin Laney, who has a mysterious ability to identify patterns in vast tracts of information, appears in All Tomorrow's Parties and is the main protagonist of Idoru. Another recurring character is Rei Toei, the "virtual idol" ("idoru" being a mistaken Japanese rendering of "idol" -- the correct Japanese is "aidoru"), an AI pop star.

it's not *ugh* "idoru", it's aidoru, uha aha aha aha *snort* obviously

Several male users came out in support of the Middleton dress article—including Wales. The day after the wedding, Wales weighed in, contending that they should keep the article because of the dress’ presumable long-term effect on fashion. (In his comments, he drew the same parallel to Linux distributions. He likes that comparison a lot.) Furthermore, he said, they should have items on other famous dresses as well.

the most worthless sentence on wikipedia

Wikipedia posted:

Tsundere as a concept is not strictly limited to women, and is not strictly limited to manga or anime. The character Germany from the series Hetalia: Axis Powers is portrayed as being tsundere, and is paired with a "lovable loser", Italy. These characters represent their respective countries; thus the implication is that Germany, the country, is tsundere.[2]

ok so like i started to read that and it's all "trying to eliminate discrimination against fat women in offices and schools and stuff" which is fair enough i guess

then i got here

quote:

According to Monica Persson, over 56 percent of obese or overweight women have answered that they have been treated disrespectfully by their physicians, and 46 percent view their physicians as uncomfortable with the women's weight. Fat feminists argue that the likelihood of women to experience discrimination increases proportionally with body size; women who are naturally larger than the norm would be forced into a cycle of spending more money on health care just to compensate for being overweight.

holy poo poo, you mean if you're huge and unrepentant your doctors get mad at you and your healthcare costs more? goddamn
