I'm sorry if I implied that people in cyberspace are well-informed. Being better-informed than people in meatspace is like being smarter than a chicken, it's not a whole lot to brag about.

Agreed. There's nothing that a few bottles of Warsteiner, or better yet, Great Lakes

That's all right because there's a few million web sites on the intartubes dedicated to dumbing things down.

Unfortunately, people are much less well-informed in meatspace.
And they're squishy, too.
Sadly enough, I'm just as ill-informed on the intertubularwebnet as I am in meatspace. I can fake a little bit of nuance and intelligence via the ether

People are much better (kinder, gentler, etc.) in meatspace, I think. Conviviality is easily attainable by one and all, provided there is an agreement on good beer and that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a modern classic.

Uhh, did you read the article? The woman in question is of Indian descent, from a fairly traditional family. Apparently she was very afraid that this would get back to her family who would then ostracize her for being a "loose woman". Sure, you can scof

That's a losing battle. No one's going to link to the "Lou baked cute puppies for the widowed orphans" story when there's that nasty upskirt shot of you getting out of Daniel Baldwin's car to look at. And the chances for backfiring are ripe. &n

Eventually, if employers want top talent, they'll learn not to pay attention to dumb little crap like that. Those drunken parties probably do a lot more to build long term career networking opportunities than they do to keep someone out of a dead-end offic

At some point it becomes a matter of too much information. Images of me have already been misappropriated by various people here and there and you know what? I'm fine with that because all it does is increase my plausible deniability. Say what? No,
