My dad caught one of those in the lake by his house. I didn't know they ate testicles. It's the only one that's been caught in Lake Austin, I think.

lol the second episode's name is "The Ladies' Room"

TIL that psychiatry was regarded as fake science back then. wtf guys, the first thing I thought when she said her hands were numb is "oh, must be a neurological problem."

She crashes the car because her hands go numb and her husband guilt trips her about it. Nice!

I don't get the reluctance to have her see a psychiatry. She has to mention the "stigma" around it rather than the necessity to seek medical care. This is so sad :(

Peggy's getting good at rolling with the sexual harassment.

And apparently there's no such thing as doctor-patient confidentiality. That's a scary thought.

There's... not a whole lot to mention in this episode. I'm kinda disappointed Menken didn't come back. I liked her.

Hey now, it's just HIV. Not yet full-blown AIDS. And it turns out that it's better to be uninsured and unemployed because then they give you tons of free treatment :D

All I knew about it at first was that it's about an ad agency, the main character drinks a lot, there's a lot of misogyny, and there's a closet case. Please be nice and don't spoil past what I've seen.

Finished up episode 1. My thoughts!

They were laying on the Salvatore-is-gay thing way too thick. The disinterest in the bachelor party, the avoiding the girlfriend question, the line "do people really do that, live one way even though they think the exact opposite."

Holy crap I was really surprised how blatant everyone was with the sexism. I kinda knew it was there, but seeing it all laid bare was kinda gross.

I love the word "strumpet" and I'm gonna find occasions to use it.

I'm gonna be mad if Menken winds up as Don Draper's love interest or something, considering the content of the show. It's like, here's this show about the ugliness of 1950's corporate America. Let's introduce a woman who is going to be charmed by a man. I could see her using his preconceived notions of her to get an advantage over him, in kinda a Bayonetta-ish femininity-as-weapon thing. But we'll see.

This show is looking to be awesome. I love the whole look, and the actors are pretty good. I'm willing to forgive some of the over-the-top introduction to the themes in the story because this is the first episode and some EXPOSITION is necessary.

So you didn't even know until now?

Well, I know not to sleep with HIV-positive people

Unless you meant know that I had HIV, in which case I can say that I found the infection really early. The medical director of the testing place said that he'd never seen anyone find out so soon, and my prognosis is good as long as I start getting treated pretty quickly.

why'd you get fired?

Performance, basically. It was really hard to read their code and I think my manager and I were having a hard time communicating what we wanted to each other. They were in the beginning of a big push to refactor their code to be more extensible and maintainable, and that requires either a senior software engineer or someone who's been with the company for a long time. The only other people who'd been there for less than a year are all senior software developers.

Adding to the fact that I got hit by a car in November and my left side doesn't work too good. So now I'm an unemployed cripple with HIV. I was kinda riding high on how easy everything was, and how awesome everything was, and then it went away all at once. My only reprieve is that I've got a Tuesday-Sunday weekend to look forward to.

It took me by surprise, too. I was doing my every-three-month checkup just because it was three months since the last time I'd been tested. I could remind myself all I wanted that it's not a death sentence (the virus in and of itself isn't that bad as long as you stay away from infections) and that I've got insurance (lol, not no more), but it's getting really tiring.

Learn from me. Condoms aren't enough to prevent transmission. Unless you're cool with possibly contracting it, don't sleep with people who aren't 100% positive they're clean.

This is totally none of your business and I shouldn't even be posting this here. I should be talking to friends I can confide in and I know a couple of you have me on Facebook. But whatever, people aren't generally a******s who would post stuff on my Facebook wall just so they have the satisfaction of knowing my friends and loved ones are unduly scared for me.

I tried to dull it with ibuprofen but it won't go away. I feel really bad for people with chronic pain. This isn't that intense and it hasn't been for very long and it still sucks. I feel shorter with people and it kinda gets in the way.

My hit-by-a-car elbow is talking to me again. I kinda wish it would stop.

ALTHOUGH. I'm kinda impressed that medicine has advanced to the point where you can reset an elbow that's been cracked in half and moved out of place and have it function mostly normally. Sometimes I feel like we live in the future.

I don't think I called myself "gay" per se, but I definitely mentioned the lack of attractive gay dudes and he was all "be careful with that" and I never corrected him to say "well ACTUALLY I mean being celibate" so yeah

it went awesomely
I was all "I... am not interested in girls"
And he was all "I figured that's what this was about." And then we hugged.

We talked for an hour and I just got back to my place. SUCCESS!

I wonder if anyone has come out to their parents, and their parents are like

"Well, no ****. Thanks for telling us though"

If my kid comes out to me, I'm just going to wordlessly pull out a $20 bill and pass it off to his mother.

Haha, oh man. Best ever.

they both answered the phone and were talking about some trapeze thing they did with our ridiculously wealthy neighbors

I was like "Oh dad, I've been meaning to talk to you. Do you wanna go get coffee?"
"Now?"
"Yeah, kinda."
"What time is it?"
"9:15"
"...ok, I can meet you there"

How could he not know? Like seriously

I'd imagine he probably does at least in the part of his brain that picks up on hints (like, "can you take a hint? I'm not going out with you"), but I just wanna be positive that it's out there.

Gonna call him and be all "hey, can we talk" after getting off the turrrrrrlet (dem nerves, dat digestive system) and then hopefully drive to a place where we can have this discussion.

one of these projects features a chick getting tons of money because she's a chick and attractive.

is this what you really think

i mean really

Its responsible for no less than 3/4 of the money she's gotten. 3/4 is being generous.

This really isn't even up for any debate whatsoever.

I heard that some game recently did something pretty smart, I don't remember what game it was though

What it did was, in the tutorial, told you to use the right analog stick to look up. If you pressed down to do it it would automatically configure the y-axis to be inverted but if you pressed up, it kept it normal.
