I am never cleaning my teeth at Dentist. The dentist (or his assistant) usually does that.
Reminds me of the bathroom signs that employees must wash hands before leaving.
I hate waiting around, so I just wash my own hands

Aluminum shavings can be used as an incendiary... lemons... fire/explosions... @CaveJohnson?
I like how I heard it described once - left wingers have no faith in the people and put it instead in the government, assuming the people can't live without help from the government, and right wingers put their faith in the people, believing the government should be an entity that is an extension of the people, not in control of them.
Oh my god! You killed kerning! You bastard!
Especially not if all libertarians share your "less people in the market => more market share for me" attitude.
It amazes me that the same people that think people left to their own morality will automatically screw over the less fortunate in the name of gaining more stuff are the same ones who think that people under control of the government will work for little to no reward in the name of community and the global village
First request I have seen for this, across a year and a half of working on Discourse, and dozens of different communities. shrug
You'll never shoehorn this community in with others. Plus, as mostly developers, there's certain things we may notice mention because we know to look for it, and we know it is possible to fix/modify. It amazes me what some users will assume can't be fixed almost as much as what they think can be added
Whatever it is, it's probably still too heavy for a woman to lift, but she would still demand equal pay.

I actually like the infinite scrolling.
*ducks*
Seriously though, if I'm scrolling through and reading posts, I can get all the way to the end without having to wait on another page. Want to stop where I am? Go back or close the page, and next visit to the topic, I'm right where I left off. If I'm slowly reading through a whole topic, I don't see the loading spinner - the only time I see the loading spinner is if I flick the mouse wheel vehemently like I'm flogging the little pink man in the canoe to get to the end.
why should a community like TDWTF change its ways - which most of us seem to enjoy - in order to bring more women on board? What's in it for us?
Maybe it's the only chance that someone like @Buddy gets to talk to a woman.
I'm afraid cc'ing @codinghorror is gonna be lost in a sea of notifications by now
So you're saying mathematicians should be coding in C++.
Most programmers/developers I know shouldn't be coding in C/C++.
Atheism is not a religion
Given that it is afforded the same constitutional protections as other religions in the US, it is legally considered a religion. They even have churches which are awarded tax free status, the same as religious churches. It may not be theistic, but is still a "religion"

I think it's more likely that @the_dragon is real.
Which is all well and good as a moral philosophy, but going around saying the morning after pill causes abortions is straight-up wrong. It works the same way pre-sex contraceptives work: by preventing implantation. There's nothing different about it. It's not an "abortifacient". It may be "immoral" according to a specific moral framework based on intentions and timing, but that's a different issue altogether.
Sure, but if you're being forced to do something against your beliefs, and you have to argue it in court, unfortunately moral philosophy is not going to give you anything to stand on - by claiming it as something like 'abortifacient', you can tie it to previous legal decisions.
I'm not even saying I agree with Hobby Lobby in this matter, but that I agree with the SCOTUS ruling. Forcing them to offer this against their religious beliefs would be the same as forcing an atheist company to install prayer rooms in all its stores to accommodate their Christian employees.
Let me guess... the post is racist?
My feeling is that if you live on government assistance, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Also the case of, if through credits or deductions, you don't pay any taxes.
The ones about feminism started out about feminism and wove their way into capitalism and economic theory and lots of inanity around the subject from person or persons who may or may not have any clue WTF is going on.

Agreed; Egyptian brackets are deplorable.
Maybe you got caught in the flurry of amazingly well civilized off topic political discussion posts, and several appeared right after you hit post? Or is @codinghorror splitting things again (I bet this topic is making him squirm with its digression)?
So the one shit object of class 4 shits is calling the three shits function with the variables chicked head and tiger furry head's guy with jizz on his face member?
Having Hulu on this topic tries to launch the video player on android nearly making it impossible to view this topic on android. Thanks, @codinghorror and your schweddy balls.
Edit: also, this:
It is content: to mansplain the joke, what I'm saying is that one person's ideal vision of the future, e.g. infinite scroll and the death of "click this next page button for more" when reading, can be another person's personal vision of hell.Or to go back even further to the original MLK reference I was making, maybe someone is actually a racist and believes the world MLK dreamed of where people of color have the same rights and respect and privileges as everyone else should not exist. Being a racist is not exactly popular these days, but it is not illegal to hold an opinion, either.
Oh, so now if you don't agree with @codinghorror's views on infinite scrolling, you're a racist. I stand by my earlier realization that @codinghorror is @obama

mechanical engineer or civil (construction) engineer … don't care about bit shifts or decimal floating point issue with processers
That is ab-so-fucking-lutely scary. Engineers of any kind should be WAY concerned with the inaccuracies of floating point math in programs.
Guess what? Some Many of the posts here can be viewed as attempts to give offense. As long as no-one goes over the line, we aren't going to begin policing based on whether some potential new blood can take the heat or not.
I've posted some rather misogynistic posts here myself - but I don't believe any of what I posted - it was merely attempts to goad a response. I think that's what many posts around here are for
I feel like everybody is arguing over the wrong thing really... this isn't about what people should believe. And some of you are taking your bigotry against Christianity and theism awfully far in your demands that they must agree with you because scientific theory.
This is not about a belief being correct or not (and for the most part, this couldn't proven anyways). This is about whether the government can force you do something against your beliefs just because you employ people. And no, Hobby Lobby is not ditching their beliefs on their employees, just simply refusing to pay for something that the employees can still pay for on their own (and since they pay significantly more than other retailers, the employees can surely do so on their own)
I find it amusing that GIT is apparently now a derogatory term
the rich are WAY more rich than the middle class
Some people may view that to mean people in the US are WAY more successful.
Which is also a huge movement right now ($15 minimum wage) that the Right Wing is staunchly opposed to, and hilariously backed by a lot of the very morons that would benefit from raising minimum wage!
Except many of the goods and services that people on minimum wage rely on are supported by minimum wage workers - and raising the costs of these goods and services to afford higher wages means it will all be a moot point when prices double too (and/or a much higher unemployment rate)
I've actually worked with a few women, and they have mostly been brilliant (thankfully, my company is pretty good about getting rid of incompetent people fairly fast). I've also worked with the type akin to "He laughed at the word dongle; he's an evil misogynist and needs to be fired!" At one previous job, I was in the boss's office, and this woman was standing by the door to ask the boss a question. Another employee came in the door, and the door knob hit her in the ass (of which I witnessed). He was fired later that day for sexual harassment (this was not as a software developer, it was actually a much more male dominated job).
Point is, complaining about the things you supposedly aren't allowed to do because of your gender, and then using your gender to discredit/harm someone else makes you pretty hypocritical. I agree with @boomzilla and @ChiefJusticeRoberts here; unfair advantages are just as damaging as unfair disadvantages.
The RWTF of that forum is how the person most strenuously arguing against such things is also very much against political correctness because it's restricting language and tells people how to think. But of course she doesn't demand people think the way she wants them to think or anything. She complains that people don't think for themselves any more - but browbeats them if they think for themselves but don't agree...Also, said forum has a policy that you cannot have a wrong opinion, only a wrong point of view.
Sounds like university professors/researchers - claim to be open minded, but assumes because of their positions/degrees that only their views are correct, and because of the specialized nature of their knowledge (like Evolutionary Biology or Underwater Basket Weaving), have nowhere else to use it besides universities and obscure corners of the internet.
For a community pretty much without restraint, it is remarkably civilized.
Even with the all the intolerant liberals around here.
