1) my feet stink
2) my daughter is 18 yesterday.
3) France surrendered in the war

That is all.

[Jack Sawyer]

I knew it!

For both men and women, we assume the other sex understands what's being said. In reality, male and female brains operate a little differently and women are generally far more capable when it comes to verbal communication. This advantage allows women to track multiple conversations and pick up on intricacies of speech that men can't. In essence, women are better listeners than men by default, even if it's a somewhat minor distinction. The Norwich Bulletin points to a study from the University of Sheffield that discovered the male brain has trouble tracking a woman's speech because of how it processes the sound of the female voice:

These researchers found differences in the way male and female brains process voice sounds. The results of this study demonstrate that, in the male brain, the perception of male and female voices activates different brain regions. The guys could easily hear and understand other men's voices. However, women have a greater natural melody in their voices and possess a more complex range of sound frequencies than a male voice. The men in the study had a harder time deciphering them and really hearing what a woman was saying. When they heard the female voices, they had to decipher them using the part of the brain that processes music - a more complex process than is used in the part of the brain that analyzes a male voice.

The only real solution to the problem is for both men and women to be aware and understanding of this inherent communication issue. Communication is difficult even without the gender differences, so it can help for men to make the extra effort and for women to understand that what they say may not always come across in exactly the way they think.

Spent the weekend in Denver. That entire city is like one giant post card and 90% of the girls there are 8's or better. Such an awesome place.

Guys are talking about how to avoid getting raped in prison and someone says "inject yourself with aids" then someone says "Men don't get aids from banging other men; they only get aids from getting banged by other men.

The second guy was clearly making fun of the first guy. That doesn't make me smile at all. It makes me angry.

Thaaaaaaaank you neighbours with WEP. I'm back on the internets!

Thaaaaaaaank you neighbours with WEP. I'm back on the internets!

Get a job, hippy

[kiwiMark]

our internet contract is signed and paid for, but it takes them 4 fucking weeks to get it activated.

[eugmac]

Would you like it if your neighbours picked your locks to enter your house to use your phone?

[eugmac]

The civilized thing to do is:
a) knock
b) esplain your thing about 4 weeks activation weaksauce telecom
c) ask if they would set up a temporary key that they'd share with you (or their current one, and tell them to change it once you have your own internets)

A neighbour in my building came up and asked politely, I made a temporary key for her. There's still this thing in the world called "talking to neighbours" and "helping each other out".

[boost]

just rode a scooter(lol) for about an hour in 40° weather with only a pair of jeans on my legs. I got home about an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and my knees are still far below the rest of my body temp. They don't hurt or anything, they are just really cold and refuse to get warm. They are actually making the blanket fabric cold. The air around them feels colder if I hover my hand near them. My knees are essentially radiating coldness. Have a developed a super power?

fuck that, he'll demand to make a cameo in my movie as a milkman, or a crossing guard. And I don't like old people. They creep me out. Except you Grandma, and a posthumous pardon to you Grandad. You guys are awesome.

[kiwiMark]

Would you like it if your neighbours picked your locks to enter your house to use your phone?

No, but if they hooked some wires up in the basement so they could use my phoneline from their phone I would neither notice nor care.

[eugmac]

My point was, normal door locks are about as secure as WEP passwords, and if you'd be decent enough to respect the door lock as a message that says "please stay out, this is ours", I think it's reasonable enough to expect the same for the wireless password.

And I do think you would care if they used your line without your knowledge - possibility for people snooping on your phone calls, using it for illegal activities (idk, kiddie porn via dialup?) - all of these thoughts would certainly cross your mind if you found out they secretly broke into your phone box. If I were the neighbour and looked into my router log to discover some bastard's broken into the network I'd certainly worry about all of the above.

Anyway my point was it's even easier to ask them than to crack it, so why not just ask?

[kiwiMark]

It's not easier to ask them, and that's pretty much the deciding factor.

[eugmac]

Is the easier route always justified, even if it involves committing a felony (however minor it may seem)?

[kiwiMark]

No but it's easier for me. I'm gonna neither morally justify nor feel bad about this one particular action, I'm afraid.

[eugmac]

If I were him I'd set you up so that your traffic gets rerouted through a packet sniffer and steal your manies and donate them to disaster relief efforts and whatnot and feel good about my felony because i am robin hood.

[kiwiMark]

okay but please don't

[kiwiMark]

Such bad luck that commune posts don't rock the post count.

I don't like country music, but I won't denigrate people who do...

For those of you who listen country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

Ok, started to post something about the hot women in country music... then thought better of it. I didn't want to denigrate such beauties (sarcastic) as Lady Gaga...

I like good country music. I've just never heard any.

I like that Monty felt he had to qualify his post with '(sarcastic)' to insure nobody actually thinks he likes lady gaga.

I like that Supa called out Monty

I like 1 shinia twain song. Something about a mirror in his pocket not being very impressive. I do feel appropriate shame.

The longest gf I've had besides my current one died yesterday morning. I haven't spoken to her in probably 4-5 years but it's really getting to me. She had a brain tumor (which they thought she beat at one point) and I had no idea. There's still plenty of things that remind me of her daily.

I hope the pain eases for you, sir.

Sorry Chelle That's awful!

Just kidding. That's sucks kmind. I have nothing of value to add, but I'm sure it's horrible.

I was kinda speed reading these last couple of posts, and for some reason I thought the user name next to this one was "bigred." I thought bigred swooped in and intercepted your cyberhugs (which were hugs being given out because you are grieving), like a boss. Then I saw it was just you accepting the cyberhugs meant for you.

How embarassing, unlucky bro. For this exact reason, I always leave my office to fart so I can walk away from it immediately.
