- is looking for a new job an option? -- nm - colin May 11, 13:51 2
  - The problem is that a new job has the same problems as the current job. WTF is STplaying the lottery again? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 13:56 1

I will say it again! Government should not recognize gay marriage. Government should not recognize *any* marriage. That's a religious institution. - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 13:48 14
- actually the church didn't give a damn about the ruttings of man, they cared only about their souls - zeitgeist May 11, 13:59 1
  - civil unions used to be so easy that just signing in to a hotel with both of your names was enough to consider you coupled. - colin May 11, 14:00
- why isn't marriage/civil union not considered a federal issue? i'd think that within a country, i would want my marriage to be fine in any state. - colin May 11, 13:55 5
  - I believe that "Full Faith and Credit" applies there but I'm not a law talking guy. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:01 1
    - wiki claims: The clause's application to state-sanctioned same-sex marriages, civil unions, and domestic partnerships is unresolved, as is its - colin May 11, 14:04
  - I think the point is more decrying the need for it to be 'recognized' by anyone. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 13:57 2
    - no, i get his point. this is just an aside.. for insurance, tax, etc reasons, there has to be a system by which i am legally coupled.. why is it a - colin May 11, 13:59 1
      - I'm leaning more toward what Bery said the other day. Eliminate all that shit. - Dr.Vermin May 11, 14:03
- Indeed. Let's recruit Penn Jillette to ST. - Vermin of the month May 11, 13:52
- You know who agrees with you? Hitler - Bacon, via droid May 11, 13:50 2

  - I call Godwin's Law -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:51
- government is already in it - so unless they are going to get completely out of it - then we have to make them do the right thing - Epiphany May 11, 13:50
- Mop? -- nm - Roger More May 11, 13:50
I'm late to the party here, but "lactivist" is a perfect term. - kelly May 11, 13:43 12
- wow. sounds like you're around a lot of real bitches. -- nm - kare May 11, 14:01
- the irony is if you do not feed the kid, you are dammed as a bad parent -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 14:00
- fundamental way to combat your own insecurities - znufrii May 11, 13:57
- Can we be slacktivists? -- nm - ceregon May 11, 13:57 1
  - yup! - znufrii May 11, 13:57
- Yeah, don't get me started on the la leche leaguers. They basically told us our child was better off starving than being formula fed. -- nm - spamlet May 11, 13:49 4
  - Heh. (overshare) - kelly May 11, 13:55 3
    - wife overshare - spamlet May 11, 14:00 2
      - we had issues too, and went back to the hospital almost every day for a week. the lactation support staff was so frustrating to deal with. - kare May 11, 14:11
      - We had trouble from the beginning - he couldn't figure out how to latch properly at first. By the time he figured it out, the problem was on my end. - kelly May 11, 14:07
- I think we can all look down on those who pump their kids full of hamburgers and cheeseburgers and nuggets, right? right? - Beryllium May 11, 13:48
- Yeah, this had Mrs. NWBR spooked before we knew that Anna would breast feed. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 13:48
I know NC gets a lot of heat for their vote on gay marriage, but they're only the latest in a long line of states. Why pile on NC? - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 13:41 8
- Because the law they passed 16 years ago banning gay marriage wasn't enough, it had to be a constitutional amendment. - TWuG May 11, 14:07
- The national mood is swinging in favour of gay marriage, so the NC vote is seen as a bigger step back than the earlier votes. - Roger More May 11, 13:47 2
  - For what reason? Because the pro-amendment people did a better job of convincing people it was in their best interest to do it. I honestly don't - sycor May 11, 13:53 1
    - I don't know why - you tell me. But to a lot of people, the result seems like "oh, if we have civil unions we have to allow civil unions for gays?" - Roger More May 11, 14:05
- because it's cool to hate the south. -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:44 2
  - But it's *NORTH* carolina -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 13:47 1
    - nice -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:52
- Short attention spans. -- nm - Vermin of the month May 11, 13:43
I would add "Vengeance Unlimited" to shows that should never have been cancelled. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 13:40 2
- or just go down the list here... -- (link) - znufrii May 11, 13:41 1

    - i hated The Avengers because I'm Southern. - colin May 11, 13:41 2
      - No, you hated it because you're a mystery wrapped in an enigma ... - Beryllium May 11, 13:49 1

    - gets my # 1 vote -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 13:44
- you shut your whore mouth. Whitney is funny. And Falling Skies turned out way better than I thought it would. But the end of the last ep was BS -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:38
Good thing about all the cancelling is that I've freed up 300+ GB from my MythTV. I tend to record everything and watch very few new shows until the - oblique May 11, 13:30 24
- I was waiting on both Awake and Alcatraz too. -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:35
- So, I want to build a networked DVR that I can watch from any of my tvs. What do I need? - spamlet (iPhone) May 11, 13:34 11
  - Pick a platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) for your DVR and then get a software you like (MythTV, Windows Media Center, Sage TV, Elgato TV) - oblique May 11, 13:40 6
    - Okay, so... - spamlet May 11, 14:12 5
      - unless the computer will be outputting to the tv, you dont need the video card. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:17 4
        
        if you want the rokus to be able to see and play the shows - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:19 2
        
        But could I delete stuff I've watched from the Roku or would I need to access the actual server? -- nm - spamlet May 11, 14:20 1
        
        it should delete, here is a short thread about some optoins -- (link) - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:23
        
        I...don't know. - spamlet May 11, 14:19

    - if you wait til this summer, i could walk you through how to create one using a Raspberry pi, a usb drive - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:46
  - century link & direct tv have that availible -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 13:35 1
    - I want to kill the rest of my cable bill. And two Tivos are more or less what I'm paying now for Uverse basic. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) May 11, 13:36
- it seems Networks still haven't realized the impact the cancellation axe hanging over new shows does to their ratings -- nm - Beaker May 11, 13:31 10
  - so many shows that I likely would have watched but figured they would get cancelled so why bother (OUAT, Grimm, Awake, Kings, etc etc) - Beaker May 11, 13:32 9
    - OUAT was the best new performer for ABC and Grimm ended up being NBCs best -- nm - Jovian May 11, 13:36
    - Wait, did OUAT and Grimm and Awake get cancelled? -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:33 5
      - I thought Grimm would be the first show cancelled this fall, and then ended up really enjoying it. -- nm - MDH May 11, 13:35 2

      - The big question is whether Chevy will be back - amoxy May 11, 13:37
    - Ooh. I was actually kidding (callback!), but I didn't realize they'd specified 'final' season. - Dr.Vermin May 11, 13:33
Though it was kinda terrible, it did get fun towards the end. Terra Nova should have gotten a 2nd season. - Jovian May 11, 13:28 2
- It started a little weak, but I thought it ended pretty strong. I'd have liked to have seen 1 more season just to wrap stuff up -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:29 1

Gonna go ahead and say this - I'm getting sick of the South bashing as a result of the NC vote. - colin May 11, 13:25 23 1

- It's true in most areas of the south. Signed, a lifelong Tennesseean. -- nm - David May 11, 13:56 2
  - ... what's true? -- nm - colin May 11, 14:02 1
    - That a great deal of the south is "backwoods, racist, bigoted, cousin-fucking, intolerant hicks" - David May 11, 14:06
