And, finally....

An article on Christian video games.

( No, I'm not kidding )

Oh wow cool.

A training-wheel free bike. *is awed*

Apparently, May is National Masturbation Month.

In honor of that, I am belatedly linking to this post. It's not about abortion. It's about not having sex with people who don't respect you. *nodnodnod*

Oh, and today is also Labor Day in many places around the world. Happy Socialist Parades, you damn pinko commies!

Moggy asked how I choose articles.

Generally, I don't know. They're just things that I saw in the news, or on my friends page, that were interesting. Sometimes, a discussion caused me to look something up, and I posted the information for posterity. Occasionally, I store up links for some occasion or another.

This one, I can tell you how I chose it. It was the phrase "decrease behaviours". WTF is a behaviour? Do they want the kids to be completely comatose or something?

So, for your reading pleasure, I give you ( My not so amusing snark on this article )

Not a very interesting article, or even commentary. But that phrase really irks me.

Reason 107 why I really like this show

See all the pretty quotes? Now I'm going to have to redownload... um... legally... the whole lot of them just to watch these shows all over again.

Well, it'll give me something to do *other* than spamming all your Friends lists.

(And yes, I *do* plan to buy the DVD when it comes out, if it ever comes out. Thanks for asking, and if you would like to contribute to my "Enable my addictions!" fund, feel free. I accept contributions in the form of cash, icons, icon space, and books.)

Taken from stexgirl2000

It's an article about Enterprise and (loosely) Trek in general.

I'm never sure what to say...

Other than "That's really not the case, and you're making a lot of assumptions here...."

So if anybody wants to tackle this, politely, you probably should. I'll mess it up.

Key sentence which hit my "that's not true...." meter:

Finding a cure for autism isn't entirely aweful either. We are very high functioning, but there are alot of those with autism who would really love to be able to get out of a diaper and date and do normal things that we have the ability to do. I think if we could prevent severe autism, it would be wonderful.

Sheesh, everything's irritating me lately, isn't it? I should take a break from reading stuff.

An article on personal planes.

Here.

I'm a little freaked, really.

*eyeroll*

If I ask you "what does age-appropriate mean", please don't respond by saying "the right level for her actual age". See, if I knew what you considered to be "the right level for her age", I wouldn't have asked that question in the first place!

Edit: If you're curious, I'm mostly miffed because (mihi) she didn't answer my question so much as rephrase her original statement - but if I'd known what her original statement meant to begin with, I would not have had to ask the question. I usually don't ask leading questions like that just for fun.

You know what's really really cool about support?

Aside from the charitable glow you get when you help people, that sort of thing.

Watching people start out, not knowing what they're doing, and then realizing that "Hey - this person isn't a newbie anymore - they've just answered a nice, reasonably complex request! COOOOOOL!"

And then it's all cool and happy and you're sitting there wondering why you didn't realize they weren't quite so new yet.
