ha. That site is fun. I'm also clueless about some of it. Do you know what the "Come and find it" shirt references? I have a couple of guesses, but I really don't know.

The lack of a Scottish American heritage month is a serious injustice.

The tories can go cry in a corner, though. Fucking white house burners.

(OK, mostly being a dick for lols, but honestly don't feel bad that the former colonial power we rebelled against to even have a nation doesn't have a special holiday)

As someone who's been hearing impaired my whole life, yes. The urge to punch the person in the face right at that moment sometimes seems irresistible.

Your wife sounds like mine. I value transparency and openness fundamentally, but after a decade of "no" to almost everything, I've learned that if I just do stuff without asking, she frequently says, "Oh, that's a nice idea." If I ask, however, it's "not a good idea," "not now," "we don't need that," etc.

Not that strange, but certainly fucking annoying: at universities it's becoming more common to have "closed searches" for upper administrators like presidents, provosts, deans, etc. This is very much a labor/management thing, and historically (in the US) public universities have had open searches, where faculty and staff get to meet candidates, ask them questions, etc. Upper admins have taken over all decision making power in recent decades, but in the past few years they've even started preventing faculty/staff from even knowing who is applying to be their new uni president. Under pressure to do something about "the consent of the governed," admins have "allowed" some faculty and staff to view interviews and things, but are forced to sign NDAs to do so.

At public universities, using taxpayer money, promising large amounts of taxpayer money to some person. It's stupid and annoying.

Those three people already know each other, so...

Okay, maybe that actually counts. I don't use the word in this context, but others do and I grudgingly read it.
