IF YOU GUYS MUST TALK ABOUT ME PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO ME AS SHE, I'M TRANSGENDERED, IT'S DISRESPECTFUL....LOOSI DID YOU GET THAT? -- nm - Stacy Apr 6, 09:41 67 1

- [deleted] 3
  - I LOVE LAMP! (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:47
  - GREECE AND THE MIDDLE EAST AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME CONTINENT!! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:46
  - "LOUD NOISES!" -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 09:46
- To be fair, I didn't realize you were transgender....I'm not sure much of ST did. - ty97 Apr 6, 09:45 17
  - It was discussed several times, but as with all things Stacy-related, people were dubious at best. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:48
  - Yeah, that's news to me as well. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 09:47
  - I had gathered as much, but had no indication of preferred pronoun usage. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:47
  - I didn't, and I'm pretty stalkerish. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:46
  - Really? I knew. I thought I tried to point it out to others once, too, but maybe I'm remembering thinking about doing it and deciding it wasn't worth - mara Apr 6, 09:46 12
    - it's been mentioned in passing, but Stacy never really made much of an issue about it. - mafic Apr 6, 09:49
    - It could just be me who was oblivious. Wouldn't be the first thing I missed that everyone else knew about. - ty97 Apr 6, 09:47 10
      - Peter Gabriel wants to be known as: the guy who invented Genesis. - Epiphany Apr 6, 09:50
      - I didn't know. Maybe the name threw me off. I also thought he had referred to himself as a lesbian. - pmb Apr 6, 09:49 3
        
        it's the kind of thing that quite often progresses over time. when Stacy identified as a woman, - mafic Apr 6, 09:53 1
        
        I don't remember when it switched though. I missed that episode. -- nm - pmb Apr 6, 09:56
        
        yeah this too. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:50
      - As I recall, this is a philosophy rather than an indication of a medical procedure. - David Apr 6, 09:49 1
        
        correct :) -- nm - Stacy Apr 6, 09:52
      - yeah, I don't think so. I'm pretty up on my goss and had no clue. (I know pretty much everything except where you are, ever.) -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:48 2
        
        ty97 is the male Carmen Sandiego. Does that make him Waldo? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:49
        
        Hell yeah! nm - Jim Apr 6, 09:49
- OK, Stan. -- nm - zork Apr 6, 09:45 1
  - snort -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:54
- Ok, I have to know...and I'm honestly not poking fun or anything. If someone were to use a pronoun when talking about you... - Jim Apr 6, 09:44 20
  - I can't answer for Stacy, but I believe the answer is he/him since Stacy identifies as male. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:46 6
    - ok, now I'm confused. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:49
    - really? I thought Stacy identified as a she. But then again I missed a lot of the Stacy stuff. -- nm - sycor Apr 6, 09:47 2
      - Again, I don't want to speak for Stacy, but in general, a female-to-male transgender person would originally identify as she (due to anatomy) and then - ty97 Apr 6, 09:49 1
        
        I'd guess closer to 95/5. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:50
    - this is my understanding too. -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 09:47 1
      - The bottom line to me is, either spell it out in the wiki, or understand that not everyone will know and be able to follow your wishes. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:48
  - yeah, in my experience, it helps if there's a name change involved as well. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:46 8
    - But in this case, "Stacy" is a sort-of gender neutral name. Like 70/30, which is better than most. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:48 6
      - more like 95/5. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:52 1
        
        I don't have any evidence to the contrary, so you might be right. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:54
      - I don't know any men (original poster excluded) who go by the name Stacy. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:50 3
        
        Rob Petrie's brother on the Dick Van Dyke Show. -- nm - pmb Apr 6, 09:51
        
        The only example I can think of is Stacy Keach, monk's boss -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:50
        
        I do. Well, Stacey, with an 'e'...but same difference really. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 09:50
    - *nods* -- nm - zork Apr 6, 09:47
  - cause quite frankly, I ain't using "hir". -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:45
  - it? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:45 2
    - yeah, that's clearly disrespectful. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:46 1
      - yes, it is, and I apologize. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:49
- as you wish, but you know what else is disrespectful? posting in all caps. -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 09:44
- M|A|R|R|S???? -- nm - DaneMacDuke Apr 6, 09:44
- And just so you know I'm seeing a psychiatrist and on meds for anxiety, depression, and bipolar and considered in great health... - Stacy Apr 6, 09:43 3
  - [deleted]
  - best wishes. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:43 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:56
- Note that when I referred to "Giant Blonde She-Male" below, I was making a reference to the show Chuck. Just saying. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:43 2
  - threadwinner -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 09:44 1
    - it might be an L5. -- nm - zork Apr 6, 09:45
- *snork* -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:42
- Are you it? -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:42
- Wait. Is this for real? (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:42 7
  - Why wouldn't it be? -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:44 4
    - I don't know. Lots of people here don't follow SI rules anymore, and make joke accounts. - musubi Apr 6, 09:46 3
      - It's always been her username here. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:47 1
        
        *shrug* I don't keep track of account names. - musubi Apr 6, 09:48
      - that's her account. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:46
  - Why does she, I mean Stacy show up when I have to leave for lunch!?! - Spawn Apr 6, 09:44 1
    - Over the line, sweetie. -- nm - Amy Apr 6, 09:45
- Can I still call you deluded? -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:42
- That's cool - znufrii Apr 6, 09:41
So, have you been wondering what The Dragonslayer thinks of the Former Federal Agent? Well, wonder no more... -- (link) - Jim Apr 6, 09:39
Glenn Beck will "transition off of his daily program." -- (link) - mara Apr 6, 09:38 2
- aka his rating suck and he's not getting a new contract -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 09:46
- Charlie Sheen to replace him. - ty97 Apr 6, 09:40
Presidential polling results in Georgia... - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:37 7
- Seriously? If the best the GOP can pull off is 3 points over Obama in Georgia, they're in serious trouble. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 09:47 1
  - Though I forget the 2008 election was actually rather close there. 5.2 points (164k votes). -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:52
- who is Herman Cain ? -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:40 4
  - The other black Republican. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:41 3
    - If you were a Republican, that would get you called a racist. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 6, 09:59
    - Alan Keyes isn't sure if he's offended or not. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:50
    - awesome. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:42
Suck it Leafs. -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:36 1
- give 'em a rest - zork Apr 6, 09:37
Over a hundred years ago, a group of Hawaiian converts to Mormonism migrated to Utah and left their mark. -- (link) - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 09:35

I wonder what stay-at-home wives do all day as much as I wonder what retirees do all day. - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:34 42
- I have a boss who writes me a "honey do list" every couple of days...some days are easy, some days are hard... -- nm - BAD Apr 6, 09:54
- my father and his wife have been retired for 15 years. They are crazy busy, are never bored and rarely , if ever watches tv during the day. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:43 7
  - But what do they *do* all day? Seriously, I'm curious. - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:45 6
    - Read lots of books, video games. What do you do in your non-working hours? - musubi Apr 6, 09:52
    - dad plays golf every day, they help out at the church, take trips, work on their house, etc.. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:49
    - my mother is 70. she is super busy. she volunteers at the hospital (for over 20 years), she travels (Peru in September is next), she helps run a - Andie Apr 6, 09:49
    - when I was unemployed I had tons to do. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:49
    - Mom works out, rides horses, volunteers, visits friends, reads, travels--good lord, I never talk about work outside of work. -- nm - Amy Apr 6, 09:48
    - my retired parents basically do the following: - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:47
- My retired mom seems to have a pretty full life. -- nm - Amy Apr 6, 09:41
- I see that the first sentence of the IM means that I have no experience on which to base an opinion. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:40
- i could easily fill every single minute of every single day without working...nm - x Apr 6, 09:40
- I have an aunt who basically buys stuff between the hours of 8 and 4:00. -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 09:39
- If I were stay-at-home, without kids, I'd be reading a lot of books and playing a lot of video games. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:37 5
  - this is code for porning, right? -- nm - zork Apr 6, 09:39 2
    - I make time for that, regardless of stay-at-homing. Duh. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:41
    - I believe so. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:39
  - [deleted] 1
    - Oh yeah. I'd totally dust off that inch of dust on my clubs and hit the links. - musubi Apr 6, 09:41
- 1) there are stay-at-home dads too. 2) how old can the kids be, do we think, before that's not a valid excuse? - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:36 17
  - I'd find it weird if my hypothetical wife never did anything, but I wouldn't mind if she didn't work (assuming it's not causing financial hardship). -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 09:46
  - why "should" anyone get a job if they don't have to? -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:38 15
    - job is the wrong word, maybe. I would consider volunteering a job. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:45 2
      - ah, I intrepreted it as having some sort of paid work. - znufrii Apr 6, 09:54
      - heck, I consider extreme couponing a job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:48
    - I agree. If you don't need it, don't want it, and can make it work, more power to you. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:44
    - Volunteer work. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:41 1
      - sure, doubtless you'll need to find ways to occupy your time - znufrii Apr 6, 09:43
    - That's what I think too. Plenty of people out there need jobs, no reason for me to take one I don't need. I'd be gardening, doing dog training, etc. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:39 8
      - seriously. I would stop working this minute if I could. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:44
      - I can't envision a desire for a perpetual vacation. -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:41 5
        
        no disrespect but I look at your life as one big long vacation - Epiphany Apr 6, 09:47 3
        
        I can't tell if this is a diss or compliment -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:52
        
        right now, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:51
        
        *nods* -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:48
        
        That may be because of the concept you have of "vacation," or maybe the fact that you equate not having a job with it. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:45
      - sure, it's increasingly a household luxury to *not* need both parents to work, but if you can avoid it, more power to you. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:40
- thats why God invented the Hobby - DaneMacDuke Apr 6, 09:36
- F the dorrman. -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:36
- I'd read a lot, write for 2-4 hours a day, and go to the gym every day. - ceregon Apr 6, 09:36
- Watch the Price is Right and read steamy love novels. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:36
- clip coupons. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:34
Random Subway post. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:30
David, I'm finding I like the hologram ability a lot - Reagen Apr 6, 09:30 13
- I really enjoy flipping it on and off. A. To Confuse the other team B. When I turn it off quick I get a sense of where they are at and then flip it... - Remlik Apr 6, 09:43
- I know that for players like me, the messed up radar is quite distracting. - David Apr 6, 09:32 11
  - on some maps, the hologram can be awesome if used right - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:34 8
    - I actually like it when people use holograms agaist me, because they are wasting an armor loadout. - David Apr 6, 09:45
    - Exactly. I find the hologram most effective if it can change levels (go up a ramp or run off an edge to a lower level). -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:36 4
      - also, sometimes its good on large maps - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:40 3
        
        "Game over, man, game over!" -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:42 1
        
        The fun one is when people use multiple holograms at the top of the lift on Sword Base. - David Apr 6, 09:51
        
        Yup. If they are far and you can't see the fake blip radar, you have no idea which one to shoot. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:42
    - That's exactly what I was doing last night, although I'm not that good on it. - Reagen Apr 6, 09:35 1
      - its an ability that almost always calls for you to work in a team pair - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:37
  - the problem with that for me is that I'm lost without the radar too. :) -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:34 1
    - there is a trick if you are fighting someone using camo - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:35
$5 footlong is $5, but ask them to put the same amount of ingredients on a 6" roll instead? -- (link) - znufrii Apr 6, 09:29 6
- "I can just take the footlong and slide the meat and toppings over myself" - Dr.Vermin Apr 6, 09:33 3
  - Or if you're so damn dollar conscious, make the sandwich at home. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 09:34 2
    - Or just take the 6" - your colon will thank you later -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 09:35 1
      - that's what Giant Blonde She-Male said. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:38
- Wow. That's a lot of calories for 6" of bread. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 09:32
- Damn overpaid private sector employees. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 09:31
It's true. That Subway's double bacon egg and cheese footlong is enough for 4 people. It took quite a bit of effort for me to eat it all. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 09:29
Animated Black Dynamite series coming in 2012 -- (link) - Roger More Apr 6, 09:28 2
