How important is the endangered species act to you?

There's been a big infestation of safe spacing in the open source software development world, to the gross detriment of the projects. It's the same as you'd expect, some low-level low-contribution "person" joins a project and starts foaming at the mouth over trivial language. Obviously when the attention is diverted from the code to coddling their nonsense, much less actual progress is made on the project, but they feel things are "better" for cleaning up the "toxic" behavior.

This obviously is not a website for college-educated people. I believe I need to take my conservationist notions to a scientific website. Bye, girls and boys![/QUOT

He said bye the other day on some other thread. How many times has this guy come and gone? Seems to prattle on about how smart he is. My daddy always told me that a man that has a great need to tell you what he is, probably ain't.

Art Garfunkel, in the mind of a 5-year-old, just had a stereotypical, if you will pardon me, "feminine" hairstyle. I associated his curly hairstyle with that of an old woman who was a friend of my family. I would often point a small child out in public with fuller blond curly hair and tell my mother or father that the child was a girl but my parents would correct me and say the child was a boy. As a little boy I had the notion that curls were just for girls.

Real men don't get their hair curled.

You see, I grew up in a mostly-WASP middle class neighborhood. Males with natural curly hair were rarely seen and if they did have natural curly hair, it was cut so short that they were still recognizable as men and boys. Because it was women who mostly curled their hair when I was very young, I disassociated it with masculinity. I as I grew older in the 1970's, I progressively noticed more and more fellows with curly hair. My mother wanted my naturally-straight hair curled when I was aged 12, but that idea was frightening to me and I resisted.

Doesn't this depend upon how good said endangered species tastes when BBQed?
