Fund for the Public Interest
Anyone worked for them? I was offered a job as a field manager, making about 400-500 a week for the summer. I've read plenty of bellyaching online. Some of it was legitimate, but has since largely been resolved by a class action lawsuit. The rest was basically complaining that it was a lot of work, at only a little bit above minimum, and repeated failure to meet your fundraising quota resulted in firing, no if's and's or but's about it.

Not an amazing position but a potentially goo one and very influential, especially if you come before the adjudication in 7 minutes.

The Thread for People Who Want to Gunboat Good and Do Other Stuff Good Too
Would the gunboaters who frequent the 1000 D buy-in games please post here how they play gunboats so the rest of us may learn from you? Looking at a game isn't enough, we need to know what you're thinking when you see a board. What does the better player see that I miss?

@ Thucydides: Enough with your beard-hating! Beards are good. I grew a beard a few years ago and much prefer it to being clean-shaven. Let me respond to your comments:

1. "what about the itching"

My beard isn't itchy. In fact I have quite sensitive skin and find shaving, even with sensitive skin shaving products, causes far more itching than *not* shaving. My beard causes me no itching at all.

2. "and the bad sanitation"

I wash and shampoo my beard every day when I bathe or shower, at the same time as washing the hair on the top of my head. I wear by beard hair quite short and comb it a couple of times a day as well. I have experienced no "sanitation" problems with my beard or moustache. You seem to think that everyone with a beard has an overgrown, untidy beard. This doesn't need to be the case.

3. "and interference with food"

I tend to eat with my mouth, rather than by squishing the food against my face and hoping most of it ends up in my mouth. Do you do it differently?

My beard and moustache do not interfere with food. I have quite a full moustache, but keep it carefully trimmed above my lips and it does not get in the way of food. Very occasionally if I have a very foamy beer, I get a little froth on my moustache from the first mouthful of beer, but this is hardly a big issue and I generally drink bottled beer straight from the bottle anyway so this is rarely something I worry about.

4. "inability to feel your face/receive kisses on cheek"

My beard covers only about the lowermost inch of my face leaving most of my cheeks clean of hair. I get kissed on the cheek often enough to confidently state that the beard does not interfere with this.

5. "association of being old/homeless"

Again you seem to think that every beard is unkept and untidy. This is not the case.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
06 Apr 12 UTC
I should also add that a lot of girls seem to think my beard really suits me. I can confidently state that I have pulled more girls *since* having a beard. So there.

06 Apr 12 UTC
yeah i can lol i did in senegal, and hated it.

but anyway i dont hate beards. i just wouldnt ever recommend it to anyone. its not like i see a dude with a beard and go "what an ass"

lol.

but yeah i guess if you shave it to keep it kempt then you solve a few of those issues but that seems like just as much as not more work than just shaving.

when someone has a beard you cant read their facial expressions as well. it's like theyre behind a mask.

i also have an ideological commitment to being beardless because ideally men and women would not have physical differences, though most of them are not culturally within my scope to accomplish. shaving is though so i do it.

also i kind of like shaving so sue me.

what im referring to is, for instance, the disgusting origins of differing dress codes for men and women

you cant very well run or jump in skirts or heels, and there's a very specific reason for that.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
06 Apr 12 UTC
...

So, if you plan on running around, don't wear heels. I know some women who like wearing them; why is that a problem?

Also, I think there's a difference between having unisexually appropriate attire and physically being the same (ewww).
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
i didnt mean anatomy lol theres no real fixing that in the near future.

i meant in modes of dress and grooming etc. like i said most changes are so culturally shocking that they cant really be attacked if you plan to stay mainstream but that doesnt stop it from being a belief of mine
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
this is a primary reason why, during middle/high school when dudes my age were all afraid of having shorts too short (as if it is too womanly or something) i said fuck it and wore shorts i thought looked good

this is a primary reason i wear shoes that are unisex, why i shave, why i support the legalization of toplessness, etc.

@Thucy

I really don't understand what you're saying.

I don't have a problem if a woman doesn't want to ride side-saddle, if you understand what I'm saying.

But, why do you use the fact that women can't grow beards as justification for not having one. I'm just really confused.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

and its probably also why i have a weird thing for girls in athletic wear.

and why im not a fan of makeup, jewelry, etc
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

@Thucy

There's a difference between not subscribing to traditional-gender clothing (which I get) and not wearing something just because it so happens to align with traditional-gender clothing (how does that make any sense?).
"theres no real fixing that in the near future."
Are you saying you think it is a problem. I agree in principle that wear whatever you want shouldn't matter, but... i am quite happy with how i'm plumbed. In fact, i think the whole system works out rather well in that regards. All the bits do seem to fit...

"this is a primary reason why, during middle/high school when dudes my age were all afraid of having shorts too short (as if it is too womanly or something) i said fuck it and wore shorts i thought looked good"

You would have done well in the 80's : )
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
So ok I can see how it's a little weird.

Ideally there would not be different expectations between men and women on how we should dress or look.

Right now there are. I go to an interview and I shave and put on a shirt and tie and belt and shiny shoes. A girl wears a blouse and puts on makeup and does her hair and wears heels. To me, that's not right.

Going out on the town is a very very blatant example that really floors me, I could go on and on.

And yeah I know WHY we do it, both the current, cultural and sexual reasons and the historical patriarchal reasons. I'm AWARE, but I just agree. Lol.

So yeah in my ideal world there would just be one clothing store with different sizes. There would be no such thing as a "woman's shirt".

I sense you may also object on the grounds of womens' agency, i.e., why can't they wear stilettos if they want to? They can. I can't stop them. If I ever get asked what I prefer though, I tell the truth - I prefer when you don't wear makeup, etc.

And so this goes for me too. I would grow my hair out to my shoulders for this cause, except that it's too un-normal. I would probably also wear unitards to swim out of solidarity, but don't because it's weird.

I do however shave because this is one area where men make themselves look like women and it's not considered weird.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
I also have absolutely no fear of being considered unmanly or womanly for this. I see no reason why being similar to a woman would be a bad thing except if you're misogynist. So yeah.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
"You would have done well in the 80's : )"

lol yeah most likely and its interesting you brought that up, clothes were more unisex than (and in the 90s to some extent) than any other time i know, recent time anyway.

And yeah I like my anatomy too. That's why I said not in the near future i.e. after we're all dead and it doesn't matter if identical anatomy makes *us* squeamish because we're dead old codgers who were too conservative for their own good.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
06 Apr 12 UTC
all of that said its not like i judge people who have gender specific appearances, because A) i do a lot of it myself, and B) like i said its not like this is a cause im about to go die for. its relatively minor but still true in my belief.
