Life Advice / Re: Hopping out of a closet

It's not about being "worthy" or "unworthy". It's about judging certain traits as good or bad, or even simply as ones you don't want to be around because they're harmful. Bigotry is harmful, and having a friend who is bigoted against what you are is also potentially harmful.

That question aside, I'd say that bigotry in itself is a damn good reason not to like someone, and that their bigotry toward you is a damn good reason not to want to associate with them.

Also, I find it really suspect and, frankly, quite shitty that you'd compare intolerant beliefs to being gay. One of those is voluntary. The other isn't. Also, one of them is harmful and the other isn't.

Then why'd he say "lead chest"?

It doesn't matter, because he didn't make a piece of armor. He made a chest. The OP is probably just confused.

Someone already told you DF is written in C++; clearly there's more to the games than the raw files.

A random commenter said something of much value on a random blog one time.

All he said was; 99% of people shouldn't be posting things on the internet. I agree.

It's funny how people who say things like this always assume themselves to be the exception rather than the rule.

There are two words I find others around me frequently at odds with:

1. Species (speeshees)
2. Hemorrhage (He-moar-raeg)

That pronunciation is "species" is perfectly acceptable. I'm not sure about the one you listed for "hemorrhage" because I don't know how to quite interpret your pronunciation there.

And what the hell's up with Pittsburgh? Shouldn't it be pronounced "Pittsboro/Pittsburra?"

Er, why?

Not that either is a good idea, which is the important thing to remember here.

Oh, and don't forget obesity!

Vehumet helps with summoning anyway. I'd say go with Vehumet unless you want to diversify the hell out of your spell list or get Necromutation or something wacky like that.

you're probably healthier staying with the soda

Well, there goes your credibility.

Also, I don't get it: First you say that the calcium's absorption is prevented by the fat, but then you say that too much calcium from milk is a bad thing.

Er, no, that's pretty common in damn near all American English, as far as I know.

Or close to it, anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-glottalization

None of this thread is making me feel very good about the state of education in Western society.
