    Is non-traditional hair color considered unprofessional?

    Given the structure of the place I work for, HR is probably the safest choice. I have three supervisors above me, and I think one of them might have an issue with it. But with the ok from HR, I'll be in the clear. It seems like not a big deal, as I am always polite and helpfull. (The...

    Is non-traditional hair color considered unprofessional?

    I live in a fairly progressive state. It was one of the first to make it illegal to fire someone for sexual orientation or gender identity. As far as I know, it is not explicitly stated that you can't have odd hair colors. But it does state that attire must be professional. I don't work with...

    Back story for "the ancient one"

    I just got around to seeing Doctor Strange and I throughly enjoyed it. I did feel one of the weaknesses was the lack of back story for the "Ancient One". Maybe I missed something, but all I got from the dialog was that she is very old and Celtic. I was wondering if there was anything to support...

    The Criterion Collection

    There's a "Criterion Collection" genre on Hulu. I'd say that alone is worth the monthly fee. I've gotten to see a lot of movies that I wouldn't really be exposed to. Netflix is kind of a wasteland for art house pictures, and TCM doesn't have a wide variety of world cinema.

    BBC's Top 100 films of the 21st Century so Far

    It's interesting reading through the list and seeing the common themes. There are quite a few movies on the list that I didn't enjoy watching. To clarify, I was not entertained and didn't walk away from it feeling like I had grown as a person. For the sake of brevity, these are the movies I...

    VERY NSFW question for the lesbian community

    It's fake. There are so many more effective ways we women can please eachother at the same time. Lesbians have been around for millenia, but "sizzoring" has only existed for the last few years. It was probably invented for porn to be more visually appealing for heterosexual men.

    How late have you ever left something you've needed to do?

    Hi I'm Aerevolt, and I'm a recovering procrastinator. For some reason, school work has always been something that I would wait until the last minute. Even this past semester. I would tell myself that I was going to study, but I always waited for the 2 hours before the exam. How am I learning...

    Poll: How many straight birth-gendered females are on the Escapist?

    Bisexual female. I would like to add a side note about understanding my sexuality. Growing up, I thought human sexuality was binary. I knew I wasn't a lesbian, so I figured I was 100% straight; even though when I was "practicing" kissing with other girls I was getting turned on. After an...

    Worst User Interface Ever!

    There have been some pretty unforgiving UIs over the years l, like the legendarily bad Atari ET. This thread is all about games that were unintuitive, buggy, and impossible to play through. My vote is for Laura Bow the Dagger of Ammon Ra. I'm not sure if I just had a buggy version, or if I...

    Poll: Female role models

    Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. She broke the glass ceiling in a field that was male dominated to the extreme. She was an apt role model for me, as I am doing the same (on a much, much smaller scale). I am the first female crew leader in the company I work for. This company...

    Should I bother with Final Fantasy X?

    The newer games are worth playing through. There are a few problems I had with X First of all, it was the introduction of voice acting in cut scenes, and they use it way too much. The blurnsball in game is also really annoying. A lot of the characters are annoying too. The combat system...

    "Internalizing the Oppression"

    The problem with saying "women could look like this if they just put in a little effort" is that it's bullshit. Most people don't have the time/discipline/energy/desire to look like a cartoon character. After all, who is it we women have to be that thin for? There is also the problem of...

    Lack of Internet

    Sorry, combined a few thoughts at once. Is wifi a basic human right? (Clean drinking water is also considered as such, but isn't available everywhere) Is the Internet a utility, as essential as it is in the first world?

    Lack of Internet

    I'm on vacation in a rural area. Despite having somewhat reliable cell reception in years past, this year I have almost none. The place I'm staying has a very weak wifi and it kicks you off from time to time. This is good and bad. It's nice to get away from the connected world for a while...

    Red vs Blue takes on Trigger Warnings

    Mildly amusing. Though I agree some trigger warnings are overreaching, they do serve a purpose. As others have said, there are warning labels for tv shows and music, so it doesn't bother me at all that people try to give you a "heads up" for their content. It should be limited to...
