I wanted to personally invite /r/gaybros to the Chicago Gaymers Meatup. I've even specifically reserved a court for dodgeball, for the guys that like to sweat :D

Do me a favor and add yourself to the RSVP if you think you are still coming. Trying like hell to keep an accurate headcount on when and where for everything.

The quality isn't great but it isn't terrible. I would recommend watching this series about the exponential function.

LulzAndHappiness · 2012-02-07T07:40:25.245321+00:00

Done. I've updated the guide to reflect as much. Please take a look at it here under the Sex section and let me know if you think anything else should be added.

We should setup a live link between the Portland and Chicago events happening on Saturday night.

I don't know for sure but DigitalSciGuy (the Transport Captain) might know more about schedules of people coming in from out of town. Just a guess.

MissJess · 2012-02-07T06:43:50.378525+00:00

Does anyone have a one or two sentence description of Cis? Can you imagine explaining this to someone else? Oh... here hold on. Let me get out the 4 paragraph explanation I carry in my wallet.

If you could make yourself smell like bacon you would have redditors and dogs alike following you everywhere. You'd be like the Pied Piper.

As I understand it CF can affect your pancreas and ability to break down foods. As such do you find that you sweat out food smells more? I know when I eat onions or garlic it comes out of my body. Is this affect doubled?

If by giving up 10% of blood donations you can half your screening costs

How are the screening costs being cut by half? They still have to screen all donations no matter what.

Yes me too but I did find this little gem buried as a link in there from 9 years ago.

Pretty close. It doesn't mean we all feel a sense of entitlement though.

It's a bit scary how they open with a scene from The Network. A movie that is nearly 4 decades old and so stunningly accurate in many ways.

| Yes it would have been great for him to do a huge IAmA but it isn't like you paid any money for this service.

And he didn't either. So it's fair treatment.

| I know that some of you see it as using this medium as an advertisement but is that really so bad?

Yes. Reddit is about quality content. There is a lot of shit but buried in it are diamonds. It's why people come here. I understand Conde Naste has to make money and they do off of advertising but when the actual content become monetized I'm no longer interested.

I wouldn't hire you. Not because of your email address... I probably wouldn't care because so many people have weird ones. I wouldn't hire you because you just admitted that you spent an entire week sending out resumes from an address you didn't want to use. If I knew this my first thought would be "how could a person send out resumes not for just a day or two but all week from an address they didn't mean to?"

If they actually did this it could be a PR coup if done properly. Maybe they were trolling the whole time? Perhaps they wanted this for an outcome like that or they were following the whole "all press is good press" thing. If they wanted viral we gave it to them. These Ad Men get more and more clever all the time.

I like the fact that people are upset about it. Maybe some are getting a little too butthurt and maybe we are seeing too many posts but it shows that people care. Virtual or physical Reddit is a community that has created a fairly unique environment. The fact that people want to preserve the core of that is great. I like that people care. If the majority says "we don't want him pandering us all TMZ style with a movie promo under the guise of an AMA" and they let him know it I appreciate that.

Sure... next time this happens whatever PR agent suggests it will have a little guidebook and shit ready but reddit still has a pretty good bullshit meter.

Maybe but it helps maintain a level of standards. For example, It's part of why I like /r/askscience. Those bitches are serious over there. It's about asking scientific questions not a lot of joking around. We need places like that so they keep a level of standards in place.

We are doing the same with /r/AMA. The communities are self policing to the standards people desire.

Because it appears to be the exploitation of a child.

I'm not really good at guessing the age of kids but I'd say he is probably between 3 and 5. I doubt he has any deep understanding of what war or death is at this age. Or what it means to put that uniform on and salute. It was clearly posed and thought out picture from an adult. They put the helmet there, they dressed the boy, they bought the flowers and then told him how to stand and what to do while they snapped a bunch of pictures.

The child probably has no understanding of any of this. It's an adult acting out their emotions with, presumably their own child, and it's not like this is pageant moms re-living the feeling of being young and pretty through their kids. This is war, death, no father... very strong emotions.
