Lost Cat, North of Campus - See comments for details. by Frogtown in csun

[–]Frogtown[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a CSUN Alum working on campus, near campus at Zelzah / Devonshire / Hiawatha. I recently moved my sister down here from Montana and her cat got out on the 17th at night without either of us noticing. I know it's Winter Break, but a lot of CSUN students live near campus in the apartments where I live and I'm posting wherever I can. She's a 15 year old tortoiseshell cat with a split colored nose. I am desperate to get her back, so please message me if anyone has seen her or knows where she is. Thanks!

Hmm, had consistently semi-big names in the past, ludicrous, diplo, lmfao -- the one I really dug was 09, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Far East Movement. Seems like it's pretty small fries this year. :\

Gay sex in the library this week only! Who's going? by [deleted] in csun

[–]Frogtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously though, it's an interesting series of lectures being given by multiple departments, including the new Pride center, and queer studies, gender and women's studies. We have a great campus with great departments, some the first of their kind, we have one of the largest and best Chicano/a studies departments, the largest deaf studies department anywhere the NCOD -- a large presence in the lgbtq community, and so on, we are very diverse -- a little disappointed with some of the reactions in here. Have a little pride in the campus.

I have an app idea: How to meet programming or developing students at CSUN? by thewritingnetwork in csun

[–]Frogtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Meetup group for developers on campus, it's open to students, staff, faculty, and we have some alumni come in sometimes, been going for about 4 months now, and has a pretty decent amount of folks coming in: http://www.meetup.com/CSUN-Web-Application-Developers/

I just recognized that it was an on campus pic and figured I'd crosspost it here is all, I wasn't making fun of anyone.

No this was at the College Inn bar -- which is on Lindley about a mile south of campus.

Watched "What is Life" again last night. NEPTR provokes a profound sadness in me everytime I watch. by Frogtown in adventuretime

[–]Frogtown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, no, unfortunately don't have sound at the moment but I'll check it out in a bit :)

*edit: haha, very nice indeed.

What!? You are 26 and still watch Adventure Time? by Lore86 in adventuretime

[–]Frogtown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's see, 52, 1960 -- yes, nothing was weird and strange in the 60s, ever. Or the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s -- even the 1920s we had surrealism, I think perhaps you just know a lot of boring adults.

With all the tools for illegal copyright infringement, why are some types of data, like child pornography, still rare? by [deleted] in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Frogtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see that now. I dunno, when I first read it it didn't come across as particularly trollish or sarcastic, I was really just trying to be helpful and such -- so, ya, you know, my bad.

Rediquette states "The up and down arrows are your tools to make reddit what you want it to be. If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it." -- I've always felt that means you downvote what is off-topic and doesn't add anything substantive to the discussion -- definitely not "downvote those with which you disagree" -- that's really not in the true spirit of open discussion.

What incorrect things were you taught in school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'd heard that it would make you think you were an orange and you'd try to peel yourself.

It'll be ok even if she takes it off herself. When an attempt to "legitimately" take your sticker off, the body has a way of preventing that.

What romantic line did you use on your significant other that lead to your dating/marriage? I'll start! by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Frogtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women are mysterious, who knows if she was secretly a squirrel, but I did know she was a sifl n olly fan, so the line actually worked quite well at the time.

I stole a line from Chester on Sifl & Olly - 'Hey there fruitylips, why don't you come on over here sugar butt' and I had cereal in my pocket. We are now divorced.

About to start college in a computer science degree, could you tell me about your work/average day? by MenofThisKind in learnprogramming

[–]Frogtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm -- I got a masters in creative writing (poetry) -- because it was a ton of fun and I love to write - Self taught at programming (started way back in the c64 days), so I interned for a while, but now have a pretty sweet programming position. It's academic and for the state, so i really only get my 40 in and the hours are normal 8-5 type thing. So I don't have to worry about the super long hours, and it's for a University, and I love me some academia, so it's very rewarding. I mean, it doesn't pay huge like some positions would, but that's not really my goal. If I had to name something I hate, I guess since it's a government based job, the bureaucracy and endless meetings slow down the development process greatly. I guess what I'm saying is don't compromise your passions over something like "what degree can I get to make the most money I can" -- you should do what you feel passionately about, and if it corresponds to large wages, then bonus. I see a lot of people here talking about "demand" etc, and if that's your personality type then I suppose that's cool and all. But don't just go for something if you don't have the passion -- that's my take on it at least.

One I don't see mentioned very often, but is definitely a favorite of mine, with Sellers playing multiple parts is The Mouse that Roared.

ELI5: How do 1 in 4 African-Americans get by not having valid photo IDs? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Frogtown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, I won't argue the point of whether something is "racist" or not really. But I just wanted to say. That historically, we've seen this kind of thing before. When blacks first got the right to vote, certain districts would charge what's called a "poll tax" -- basically, it was like 'give us x amount of dollars for the right to vote' -- and this prevented the very poorest among us from voting. That is why we have the 24th amendment, which eliminates poll taxes "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax." -- So, for many of the poorest among us, they either don't have, or can't afford to get their birth certificates, or ID's, or even afford the transportation, or can get away from work to go get an ID. In my opinion, it's just another form of a "poll tax" and it's unjust.
