I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sparky, if you still need ideas, email Juliana. She can't get to the board but she can email.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have seen studies about that that imply women are *better* investors thanks to that very trait, Allyson. We hang in longer and don't follow shiny trends.

There's an issue that excessive trading generates fees and other costs. Return is uncertain, transaction costs are guaranteed.

Apparently for some reason, "Stop fiddling with it!" is a harder message to get across to male investors.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The women who have waked me up in the wee hours of the morning banging on my neighbor's door at the head of a 26-step flight of stairs with tile at the bottom while wearing stiletto heels did not have an aversion to risk compared to their male counterparts.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If they want to venture a bit further into the Tenderloin, I'd try Lahore Karahi on O'Farrell or Osha Thai on Geary.

I've been recommended Lahore Karahi (...I think by you). I second Osha Thai. I've eaten there (at various locations) possibly more than any other restaurant in San Francisco. That's not a taqueria, I mean.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Apparently for some reason, "Stop fiddling with it!" is a harder message to get across to male investors.

As the mother of a 3 year-old boy, I could make a few guesses...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If someone has accepted, it should show up in the tracking tab for the meeting.

I've never been able to confirm this. Perhaps the people who say they accepted without sending me confirmations are lying. But that's how I know they accept or reject--because I get an RSVP. I don't hang out in the tracking tab. I read my emails instead.

Calli, it's all yours. Vagenda away!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Please stop me from arguing with a moron about a 2008 paper about women being more risk adverse than men.

He's taking to mean that women are just more risk adverse, period.

My husband is an actuary who insists that we keep six fire extinguishers in our house. I am on a roller derby league. You decide which one of is us more risk-averse. @@

I DO NOT WANT YOUR NOT-AN-ANTI-SEMITE EXCUSE CHEESECAKE!

I would love some Atheist Who Accepts Christmas Presents Cheesecake!!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there a dating site for non-morons?
