Joe C commented on Adriana's group Gender Blender"I remember a few yeas ago i saw a trailer for a documentary called "Being T" that was also funded by Janet Jackson. I was looking forward to it because it seemed to give good time to the nuanced reality of trans dating lives, esp. trans…"
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"LOL! Since i seem to be saying a lot on this thread i should probably give a disclaimer:
i am not a cheerleader for non-profits by any means. I'm actually fairly disgruntled with them, while still recognizing a lot of awesome people use them to…"
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"Again, i'd ask folks when evaluating tax-exempt worthiness to consider whether this same criteria should apply to ALL tax-exempt organizations.
Almost ALL charitable organizations have a sense of how public policy effects their mission…"
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"oops. just realized a big typo!
"most of their charitable org offshoots DON'T do a very good job either""
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"On a different note: i don't think percent operating expenses is a good metric for the quality of an organization or their ability to service its community. Organizations that provide non-tangible goods like education, direct labor, mental…"
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"I might go a little further: i don't see the point of having a tax-exempt status for churches "because they do charitable work." In the U.S. we already have criteria for charitable organizations (the non-profit) and either they fit…"
Joe C replied to Neo's discussion Who has all the money?"I should preface this by saying i am in favor of removing the special tax status granted to organizations purely for being religious. That said, i think the article you linked doesn't really understand what charity is! (or at least…"
Joe C replied to Adriana's discussion Mitt Romney was a bully in high school. in the group It Gets Better: Atheists for a Bully-free World"LOL. It's funny cause i've basically even had this conversation a number of times!"
Joe C replied to Adriana's discussion Mitt Romney was a bully in high school. in the group It Gets Better: Atheists for a Bully-free World"This seemed a bit related: Top Romney Aide Outed Trans Political Opponent

Joe C replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion What Happens When a Quiverfull Dad Becomes a Woman? in the group Gender Blender"LOL. I see. Yes, for many trans women, they do not have the urge to thrust. But that's not universal. And hormones can effect this as well."
Joe C replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion What Happens When a Quiverfull Dad Becomes a Woman? in the group Gender Blender"It's hard to say. A common theme i've heard from trans folks is ways they and their partners picked up on their gender on a subconscious level well before they were able to articulate a desire to transition, and this often included sexual…"
Joe C replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion What Happens When a Quiverfull Dad Becomes a Woman? in the group Gender Blender"She :-)"
Joe C commented on Radu Andreiu's group Mathematics"Re: the penguin. Awesome! Apparently not a math text at all, but an actual academic paper:
Meyer-Rochow VB, Gal J (2003) "Pressures produced when penguins pooh—calculations on avian defaecation" Polar Biol (2003) 27:…"

Wau: The Most Amazing, Ancient, and Singular Number
"ViHart does some pretty awesome videos :-) The Fibonacci plants are still my favorite.
In a similar vein, Netflix has The Story of 1 available in instant download. Also pretty humorous, good math-fun!"

- Just kinda realized a bit ago that i've been an atheist all along. I'm a fourth generation of atheists and grew up in a fairly secular community so i mostly took disbelief or disinterest in gods for granted, so now i'm wondering what other atheists think about life
