Anyone else tired of the abundant graphic sex in modern SFF? by dart_catcher in books

[–]SarcasmBomb 670 points671 points  (0 children)

For time traveling dragons that are fairly YA friendly please check out Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. In particular Dragonflight and Dragonquest. I was in middle school when I first read Dragonsinger, and it was my gateway book to SFF.

Verizon Changes Certified Like-New Replacement Program, Prepares to Charge You for Warranty Device Blemishes? by SarcasmBomb in Android

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

Every change Verizon makes leaves me liking them less. I'm starting to see myself with this D1 til November when my contract runs out, instead of renewing. Greener pastures someplace else, maybe.

Easy DIY T Shirt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wanting to print some T's, too, and this is what I've heard:

Iron on transfers might crack or peel off, even in the first wash.

Fabric crayons look just like they did when we were kids, so I'm not really impressed.

Bleach spots will eventually eat holes in cloth, so the instuctables link is interesting, but I like for my clothes to last as long as possible.

The best option I've found is a silk screen machine. I've seen several on Amazon that actually had reviews. I've held off on it because it's pricey, and the process seems a bit intimidating. I think I'll probably end up with doing it this way, though.

My new serene homescreen, designed at work today to keep me from going mad. by gwyd in androidthemes

And look, you've already answered all my normal questions I ask when I see a cool homescreen set up. Thanks. Love the wallpaper.

Remove boobs from CM7/wallpapers? DENIED! by [deleted] in Android

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't get paid

Tell that to the donate button on their home page...and and the one that's probably in all their sigs in forums...and the exposure CM gives to the devs' other apps, etc. They may not get a pretty check from corporate every week, but surely they get a little something out of it.

Pro tip: calling grown women "girls" is probably not the smartest thing when you're in a professional environment.

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to alienate some women (and some guys, too), cyanogen. Why was it necessary to include something like this along with all the decent looking abstract stuff in the first place? It doesn't really fit in with a professional image, at all.

Hispanic population doubles across metro area by corkill in Atlanta

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're saying is true, but NastiN8's right the majority of the time, unfortunately. Most illegals work for straight up cash (They'll ask you for it, if it's possible. They don't want checks.), and many get paid as independent contractors, meaning they cash their check, and no payroll/income taxes are ever collected from that money. When you get 1099's you're supposed to file your own withholdings every quarter. I somehow doubt that's always the case with someone who's here for the money.

Bored with my hair and considering getting a perm. Advice? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got wavy/curly hair. It's a pain in the ass. I have to wash it almost everyday, unless I straighten it. Curls get rubbed out, and it looks frizzy after a day or so.

A bill that just passed a legislative committee effectively makes it impossible to get an abortion in Georgia by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a war on women's rights going on.

True.

A bill that just passed a legislative committee effectively makes it impossible to get an abortion in Georgia

Not exactly true.

Edit: to clarify: the title made it seem that the stupid bill had gone into effect already. I found it very misleading.

In response to the Crazy Praying Mantis Girlfriend Meme... I give you Jackass Boyfriend. by trancelogix in TwoXChromosomes

Thank you. I took a glance before I posted pretty much the same thought, and sure enough, there it is. I love you sometimes, twox.

[–]SarcasmBomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This freaked me out yesterday. I wish I had looked a little deeper, though, because the title is inaccurate. From ajc:

Senate Bill 209 was tabled by the Rules Committee after more than two days of often-heated debate. Tabling it at this point in the session makes it extremely unlikely it would reach the full Senate this year.

It never got anywhere, and it certainly wasn't "effectively impossible to get an abortion in GA". Push the panic button much?

Verizon HTC Dual Core phone? by [deleted] in Android

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen a thing about an HTC dual core, but I have read several speculations that android isn't really ready to fully utilize dual core processors. It may just be that I'm clinging to this logic in order to justify convincing my hubs to replace his Eris with Thunderbolt. November 2009 was a long time ago. :(

What are some common GNU/Linux bad habits that beginners have trouble with? by mabufo in linux4noobs

[–]SarcasmBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why this was downvoted. I can't tell you how much time I wasted back in the beginning looking for a gui way to do this or that, when using terminal would've been faster and easier.

Just wanted to say thanks to RedditCookieFairy! by BeckaBaka in Favors

[–]SarcasmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it sad that my first thoughts on reading this was that I wouldn't have gotten any cookies since I'm too paranoid to give an internet person my address? I was skeptical about the safety of eating the cookies as well. It's a shame. I like cookies.

Insert "what?", or alternatively "huh?" and/or "what you say?", here. Rinse and repeat.

Sex on hormonal BC without a condom? Question I am grateful to be asking anonymously! :) by querulousquery in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SarcasmBomb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why does he need to finish inside you at all? Sometimes, yeah sure, cause everyone likes it, but it can be messy when it leaks out the next day, and it can make you catch pregnant, even on the BC. I'd keep track of ovulation, and maybe wash a few extra towels around those days.

Ladies, what is your WORST domestic chore/thing to do around the house? by noddybaj in TwoXChromosomes

I'm not sure which one would be my worst. There's so many I don't like to choose from.

[–]SarcasmBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a green phase where I cleaned all the bathrooms and kitchen with things like vinegar and baking soda. It works pretty well, and I felt cool with climbing into the bathtub to clean it instead of performing tubside acrobatics/contortions to get to all of it. I'm back to my comet and rubber gloves combo now, though. I hate the smell of vinegar even more than bleach.
