Depending on your proportions, some necklines might work better for movement or fit. Like, high necklines on a rectangular t-shirt, if you're well-endowed, have a tendency to creep up and get all chokey. Scoop necks do a better job of this.

I like to non-verbally snark, by breaking people's brains. I wear long skirts all the time, and sometimes I cover my hair. So I must be traditionalist/conservative, right? No, I just don't like how jeans are all about objectifying my butt a

You can express empathy with the other person though. And in English, at least, this is commonly done using apologetic language, "I am sorry that you feel that way and I understand that you are upset" etc. No, "I'm sorry I made you feel t

I don't work for PopVox, so I'm gonna stick with "Congresscritter" :) Anyway, I guess you were expecting one of those hokey quizzes news sites have that never really cover the bases properly. shrug PV's actual purpose is to enhance consti

So get your preferred groups to make use of the handy widgets PopVox makes available for easily contacting Congress on whatever their important-bill-of-the-moment is. https://www.popvox.com/services/widgets (You can embed them in your per

If you and ten other people shared a BugMeNot account, that'd mean your opinions and those ten others would all be grouped as one user, meaning it wouldn't ACTUALLY represent your views. Also, Congress requires your REAL name and your REAL

It's not a paywall. It's free. Here's how it works: you use PopVox to communicate with Congress, sending support or oppose messages which are publicly tallied so all can see which way any given Congresscritter's distric was leaning. This to

"Most of them aren't interested in developing, but in functional analysis and leading teams." That was the impression I had of SEs in general during my undergrad. The CS kids wanted to be developers. The SE kids wanted to be managers.

I don't know about the 70s, but one of my (female) professors worked on the code that took Apollo into space in the 60s.

I ended up here by Googling for "secretpoke spam" so yes, it totally does look like a spam email. Particularly since the "hint" given narrows it down to married people, people who've moved overseas, and people I can't even get along with fo

I'm Mackenzie in the article. The guy who made the comment about why someone else was agreeing with me...he wasn't new. I don't know about the guy who grabbed/kissed me. Going a little broader in the tech field... I know of some people in t

Wearing a big black t-shirt from ThinkGeek 2 sizes too big, baggy shorts, white socks pulled up, sneakers, and your hair messy... it's like using the <blink> tag with cyan text on a red background and little animated gifs.

Welcome to being a woman. Remember how the old ideal figure for a woman was a small waist and big hips? It turns out that being shaped that way means shopping for jeans is impossible--unless you want them to be skin-tight on your thighs a

I used to think that green on black was the way to go because of that whole "ow, bright light, pain, my eyes!" thing, but it turns out that you can avoid the pain of bright screens and extend your battery life by just turning down the scree
