I usually don't save avatars unless they're outstandingly fucked up and/or funny. I saved big R and Troll's current ones, best evar.

[size=8]Also, as R said so aptly, exposed bellies are hot, which is why I like dos's a whole deal.[/h]

Currently, girlfriend's working as a JHO (junior house officer); what the linked article says is basically true in every way, from the workhours to being at the bottom of the feeding chain. Within the first three months of her JHO duties, we immediately noticed that sharing duties during these 12 months wasn't going to fly; she'd always have to work nightshifts and it would be a good day already if she came home and didn't have crying fits from the stress.

So I decided to take a one year sabbatical from work, finish my PhD thesis, and basically be the housewife for the duration of her JHO internship. It doesn't bother me at all (it'll be over in august!). It has its rosy sides too, have a lot of time to piss away, which is why I'm being active here in the first place :p

Normally though, we share duties (did so for the first 5 years), and I expect us to after her duties end. She can't cook worth a tuppence, so I do it - in turn she does the dishes. I do the housecleaning (hoover every day, wet every 2nd day) - she does the ironing. And so on. We're not nitpicking about sharing exactly 50:50, but it feels to both of us like we've got a pretty good balance. We're both extremely lazy, so if there really was some grave imbalance, that would be brought up immediately.

I frankly couldn't stand it if someone did all the housework for me. I grew to be very independent at an early age, and it makes me feel like a fucking idiot if I'm not looking after myself on my own. I could never employ a housemaid, it would make me feel exploitative as well as spoiled. Add to that the fact that I'm really into (no-nonsense) male-female equality, and it becomes understandable that I wouldn't want her to be a housewife.

In my own home, social norms can go fuck themselves. I don't let any bullshit "male pride" get in the way of things. I've worked far more demeaning jobs than doing housework, so I can't really understand how some men bitch about helping out around the house because it's supposedly "unmanly".

Edit: Even if I could afford it to let one part stay at home, I'd rather we both reduce to part-time and continue to share duties at home.

Huh? Gamerscore? Didn't you see the newest announcement on the front page?

Agree to the fullest.


Disagree, depending on what you mean by safe sex. Protection outside a strictly monogamous relationship is vital, but within a relationship I see nothing wrong about going bare, as long as there is either some form of birth control, or the pregnancy is actually intended. We've not been using a condom in years, because she's on the pill anyways, and neither of us likes condoms. I don't feel bad for that.

Yeah. And dear doswillrule, what I meant about speed limits being an UK thing, is that the french law (overturned by the conseil constitutionnel, now reintroduced with special tribunals in place of the HADOPI to make it constitutional) is aimed at entirely severing someone's internet connection, whereas the UK equivalent is about limiting people's bandwidth. Just to clarify.

I purposefully elided my last night's in depth post because any discussion of this matter is unfruitful, but for those interested, I suggest the following links (all official, of course), which make for grim - but intriguing - reading:

So much for "paranoia".

I'm farming for the new Fakku Forum Achievements, so every day I send myself a personal message full of wit and esprit. Then I laugh about it. It's a blast.

Thank You, Recording Industry Association of America for reminding me why I no longer buy any of your music.

Ahem.

I don't really know any decidedly sexy music, as I've yet to ever be put in the mood by a musical piece.
This one's probably the closest thing I can think of to "sexy music" that was available on youtube:

I am however astonished at this song not having been posted yet:

OT:

Strongly advise against keeping it in the car during daytimes in summer at any rate.
First there's the heat issue, secondly it will urinate all over everything.

Oh god. Thank you for this post.

I'm not much into the "puzzle" parts (jump/climb blahblah), but the co-op multiplayer does pique my interest. be sure to give your opinion on whether the coop's any good.

here you got both rolled into one

I don't even have that button and I've never seen it before.
Whoa there.

UK law is particularly great in these respects anyways. In conjunction with Blunkett's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act of 2000 (c.23), that is something to behold. By the way, the bold text in the quote denotes the situation in most of Europe already. In those countries where it doesn't yet, it becomes mandatory to implement as an EU regulation by 2010.
As an aside: I think it's funny how the Scottish Pornography Act, which would have banned all porn for good (classifying it as hate crime against women) was given up on largely because of the resistance of Backlash and Feminists Against Censorship. Simply because except for Baroness Chilthorne-Domer there were no politicos or even only journos willing to speak out against such plans. I thought that incident very striking, and frankly foreshadowing possible future events.


edit: just as a side note: speed-limits are a UK thing, under the loi hadopi, your internet gets cut for good (and you have to continue to pay for the services nonetheless).
