Flippant Friday: Ask [livejournal.com profile] sabotabby

Really. Ask me anything*. I'll answer it, in a manner of speaking.

Does anyone know, speaking of flippancy, where I can find the equivalent of this for the year ahead? I heard the new colours suck and I'm just dying to know! (Actually, it's for work, but I am curious and the Color Association makes you pay for it.)

* But if it broaches certain topics, I'll lock the post.

That's an interesting idea for a community, but the results are nothing but awful.

Here's why: philosophy undergrads. The most annoying people to have a conversation around with.

You don't have to tell me, I teach the little bastards. (Current bad mood induced by first year logic students failing their test).

But the community is mostly fun, and we let everyone join if they post photos of themselves with books and can say something about a philosopher they like. Thus we subvert the whole concept of ratings communities, which brings me a lot of pleasure. We also have a you must be over 18 to join clause, even if we don't enforce it very strictly, which keeps some of the more inane would be philosophers out.
