    I actually kind of struggle with the whole skin-tight pants/yoga pants/leggings debate. On the one hand, girls should be able to wear whatever they damn well please and if it "distracts" the boys then they can go fuck themselves. On the other hand, why would a girl want to wear pants that completely expose her that way? She's confident about how she looks, and/or she wants to show off. Why? To look hot to boys, maybe? To feel sexy/desirable? To stand out? For attention?

    So in the end it's this weird chicken-egg situation of wanting to look sexy so guys will look at you, and as a result boys are distracted and those articles of clothing are banned. Hmm.

    Personally I hate those girls that wear skintight leggings with a short shirt so you have a panoramic view of their butt, but it's mostly because I am jelly that their butt is better than mine.

    And that's part of the problem!

    I chose that wording intentionally. ^_^

    No, the game is awful solo.

    In a good outfit it is like the best game ever, though.

    Pretty sure most people wear sexy clothes to feel sexy themselves and it has less to do with how others perceive them than everyone seems to think.

    I've seen some blatant examples of somebody's parents doing their science fair project, but this one takes the fucking cake.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/04/conrad-farnsworth-builds-nuclear-fusion-reactor-garage_n_2616998.html
    The teen, who shares his last name with the fusor's original designer, Philo T. Farnsworth, and self-proclaimed mad scientist Hubert J. Farnsworth, began work on the project at age 16. He started by contacting members of the international amateur fusion community for guidance.

    This is explained by the well-known "mad scientist namesake effect".

    Guys typically aren't allowed dress scantily, either. It's a "lets get through this as painlessly as possible" type deal.

    okay nerds I think this is what I am going to buy http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VHgS

    Remember that Win 8 will take up 16-20 gigs of that 120gb SSD on a fresh install, plus more once updates and service packs start rolling.

    yeah that's fine I only need a few games and whatever installed at a time

    if SSDs keep getting cheaper I can always get another one

    Yeah, I got a 256 but a 128 would have worked for my set up.

    If you're sticking with Windows, make sure you move your Users folder off the SSD, as that's where everything dumps crap and most of it doesn't need to be on the SSD at all.

    I think that there are definitely some people who have unhealthily conflated "feeling sexy" with "receiving inappropriate attention".

    Neural networks are not that complicated. I can believe someone who's been coding for 4 years could program one. After that, it's only a matter of training and testing it. Really, the most surprising part of the story is that she got medical data to use for her project.

    That's still a chicken-and-egg thing, though. For the vast majority of people what they define as sexy has been defined for them by the way others around them perceive them, sadly.

    and the small end ends up backwards

    when you are young every decision you make is suspect

    for instance:

    for my (first) prom i got my first suit, which was black (mistake 1), wore a black shirt (mistake 2), wore a red tie (mistake 3), and thought i looked so bad ass (mistake 4)

    I could see someone very young kicking ass at programming

    it is one of those subjects, like Math but very much unlike History, that does not require maturity to master. In fact I think younger kids who are able to apply themselves to it have a distinct edge in pure coding (which also is very different from the job of being a programmer) over someone in their 20s or older.

    I got started around 11ish years old. Actually made a weird little D&D (2nd ed rules) game when I was 12. All the art MS Paint on a windows 3.1 machine (a 286 16 MHz box with 2 megs of ram and a 40 meg hard drive) could handle.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    I don't really understand how they can be separated unless you spend as much effort getting ready to sit around the house as you do to get ready to go out at night

    which I don't think anyone does
