We make noise about people being miserable in this strip. We make noise when people finally get around to joy, too, because we're not convinced that happiness can live for long here. When somebody in your life that's been a drag on the soul suddenly pops a rainbow out of their rear end, you wonder if they're about to kill somebody. That's the way it goes.

Speaking as a girl, I don't give a poo poo if you call girls dudes. I've done it myself. However, unironically saying dudette will probably make me wonder if you secretly believe yourself to be a Ninja Turtle.

But Gwen is a feminist! She can't stand for that! Given, I'm being a bit harsh on the artist because I've been mostly noting what Gwen is doing after it was acknowledged she runs a blog about feminist topics. So I wanted to see how the author would handle writing someone who did that. So far it's been an irrelevant facet of her character for the most part. Save for when there are jokes about it, like when she's shown having writer's block for until the Peter Griffin stand-in showed up to do his creepy, desperate, please-let-me-put-quarters-in-you-until-sex-comes-out routine. Wait no it was the jock because hurr hurr nerds can't be sexist pieces of poo poo.

Job chat: I had the fun of clawing my way into the job market with a Ph.D. in chemistry recently. Academia wants you to post-doc which requires you have connections and preferably money. Industry wants you to have an internship which requires you have connections. Government positions wants you to know you'll be available 18 months in advance of applying for anything they offer because that's the turnaround on it.

I didn't actually do a post-doc or internship because things don't always pan out in ways that make you a presentable post-doc candidate, and I had no industry connections to get an internship. Instead I ended up using the connections I did have to get hired by an Ed Tech company and it's pretty fun, actually, though I do sort of miss research.

I've watched dudes (both male and female) with little to no connections work in liquor stores and teach adjunct for years while trying to find something that actually uses their degree. Being unable to relocate sucks a whole lot there. Right now I'm watching a labmate that's a brilliant chemist desperately beg for post-docs and repeatedly getting told by everyone they don't have money because the current funding climate sucks since the recession made things suck then the stimulus made everything awesome then the stimulus ending made everything suck a whole lot more.

P.S. if you ever see a movie/book/TV show/comic show a scientist being an anti-social rear end in a top hat and succeeding, understand I am laughing hard at it. Connections are important for scientists. I only got hired because I went to conferences and schmoozed with people, and probed every professional I met to see if they were interested in talking about their job. You only get away with being an rear end in a top hat if you're weirdly charming in at least some way, or established yourself well then became an rear end in a top hat.

P.P.S. Also being chatty and curious about people around you are how you get the response of, "Oh, I'm a process chemist for Trojan." and then you learn about condom chemistry. That was an interesting day.

There was certainly a long standing belief that eating food that was too hot would give you indigestion. Of all things, I remember an episode of The Wombles where somebody steals a hot cake and is identified as the thief by their uncontrollable hiccuping. No idea where the concept started or why it died out.

Having grown up with a mother who insisted it was SO BAD for you to eat any baked things like bread, cake, cookies etc straight out of the oven before they had a chance to go cold, this was a thing I believed right up until I was about 30 and suddenly woke up one day and realized it was all a plot to keep little kids from mooching all your delicious baking.

I can't prove that this was the original reason behind the myth, but I bet it was, because little kids in previous decades or centuries probably weren't any different. I am also pretty sure the only reason it died out is because most people today don't grow up baking everything (unfortunately).

It goes up there with the lie about swimming right after eating giving you cramps, or your hair growing back thicker if you shave it in things most likely started by lazy-rear end parents who couldn't just tell their kids 'no' and stand firm.

:eng101: Actually, you can! We have a catflap that's got locks on it; it's activated by the cat's microchip (which involved 'teaching' the door our cats' chip wavelength by holding them up and more or less waving them around in front of the door until it registered). Anyway, it's always set on 'unlock' going out, but 'lock' coming in (to prevent visits from neighbour-cats). It's on a hinge, but it does slam shut with a bit of a bang when they come through it, especially if they're zooming in ahead of a pursuing cat-pal.
