trickybiscuits posted:Both had C. S. "If even a single person does not understand that the big lion is Jesus I will set myself on fire" Lewis as a professor. Between Susan Cooper and Elizabeth Marie Pope's The Perilous Gard, it's no wonder that I got a largely-useless degree in medieval literature and became obsessed with prehistoric Britain. (Fun fact: The Perilous Gard and Jones's Fire and Hemlock are both retellings of the Tam Lin story. High-five for excellent literary taste. There's also Pamela Dean's retelling, but I didn't much care for it.

He specifically said that he was involved because people were being mean to "his friends". drat, I wish I'd screenshotted. He's not usually self-aware enough to delete. e: Actually, that's the tweet I linked to.

OwlFancier posted:It's a shame "I can use google and figure out how to do a thing if I don't already know how to do it" is not a substitute for qualifications on a CV, despite being the better answer. Yup. Like, you're asked about analysis of algorithms in a whiteboard interview, and the proper answer is "Okay, first I use a class library, and second if I HAVE to do it myself I look it up in Knuth, because what am I, a timewaster?" (Yes, Knuth is in this weird pseudo-machine-code, but still.)

"unsecured in the living-room sofa"? I mean, I once found a missing bottle-opener down the back of the sofa, but a handgun seems like a lot.

I don't give a gently caress what they did, what they need is treatment not incarceration. Absolutely nothing will be made better by putting a 13 year old in an adult prison. Not for him and not for society.

It genuinely amazes me how a certain class of man sees standing up to pee as a crucial signifier of masculinity. (As opposed to just being convenient.) I have never in my life told anybody older than 3 how to pee.

lobsterminator posted:Peak web design are sites that have links only found in the footer, but because of infinite scrolling the footer gets pushed down when more content loads so you can never reach the footer. This is especially great when it's a corporation's web page, so you can never get down to the contact information.

MizPiz posted:I can understand liking him for being a good actor, but I don't get the people who think he's sexy. There's a thing called joli-laid: French term for "pretty-ugly". He has an extremely striking face, and he uses it well. He's also tall and fit. e: Re novels, there's a huge rant in one of Jane Austen's books (maybe Persuasion?) about how great novels are, so she was clearly feeling the sting.

Bonster posted:Yep. If you're larger on top, the only time you can comfortably go without is when you're lounging and doing nothing around the house. It can get painful without one, and forget exercise. I fully agree with your theory about pretty vs functional. The bigger the cup, the more it looks like an engineering project. Even then, underboob sweat BTW, Victoria's Secret not having larger sizes is a deliberate marketing plan, because they don't want people to shop there who aren't "their customer". There are now a lot of zazzy brands that have colorful bras for bigger cup sizes. https://us.brastop.com/ https://www.bravissimo.com

I've been following the GRRM mess. 1. ConZealand requested pronunciation guides from some (perhaps not all) nominees, then apparently did nothing with them. Mary Robinette Kowal, one of the individual category presenters, wasn't given a pronunciation guide and took it upon herself to check with nominees for the correct pronunciations. 2. Apart from the mispronounced names, GRRM went on and on. The entire ceremony was supposed to last 2 hours; it went on for 3.5 because of the length of GRRM's reminiscences, spilling over two sessions of panels that had been scheduled afterward. An irritated fan commented "I cut a THREE HOUR & THIRTY-FIVE MINUTE CEREMONY down to 1:41:02 *JUST* by cutting out Martin & Silverberg." (I don't know details about Bob Silverberg's speech other than that people hated it.) 3. Apart from the length, GRRM sees himself as a raconteur and spent all his time telling stories about himself and his friends in the 20th century. There was little mention of works and authors from after 2000. It was focused on the Great Men of the past: Campbell, Heinlein, et al. 4. Last year Jeannette Ng, who had just won the John M. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, began her speech with "John M. Campbell was a loving fascist." It was a barnburner of a speech. Shortly thereafter, after years of complaint, the award was renamed the Astounding [the magazine] Award for Best New Writer. This year, GRRM not only spent a lot of time reminiscing about Campbell as a giant of the field, but pronounced "Astounding Award" with an audible sneer every time. It was widely seen as sweet sweet justice that Jeannette Ng's 2019 speech won this year's Best Related Work Hugo. 5. He made a "real men have dicks" joke. So. He had real things to apologize for, and his "all have sinned" post didn't address them. https://www.pretty-terrible.com/george-r-r-martin-2020-hugo-awards/ (Disclaimer: Natalie and I follow each other on Twitter, but that's the extent of the acquaintance. This post is not solely based on Natalie's blog post.

To be fair, GRRM's response to the complaints. My favorite bit: quote:Most of the stories I told last night were time-tested, in a sense. I have told those same stories before. Usually they get big laughs. Or medium sized laughs, in any case.
