briardahl's Activity


briardahl commented on Is Being A Bad Mother The Most Heinous Crime Of All?, at 2:25 PM on Nov 17 So far as I know, there's not much legal distinction between hurting someone else's child and hurting your own, but people tend to have some instinct that the latter is worse -- that's surely most of the double standard here. (It comes from the other direction, too -- there's a form of low-expectations bigotry involved in being somehow "unsurprised" that a man would beat a child to death (we put that down to a tragedy we almost "expect" to happen, to someone, somewhere), but being extraordinarily shocked and appalled that the child's mother would be either complicit in it or hapless to stop it.) more » [jezebel]

I'm an idiot. Damn, I didn't catch that at all. That remove the O's thing was really confusing for me!


BeckySharper on Jul 1, 2008

Yeah, gross, right? Sorry to scar you vicariously. That wasn't the worse of it, either. I used to hear endless overshare stories about her diaphragm malfunctions and icky affairs with married colleagues. Seriously, if she'd just asked me to get her coffee, I would have jumped for joy! Woohoo! Cup of coffee coming right up!

Ha! Thanks! I earned this fucking corner office. Lots of scut work and abuse, but I made it! And my assistants all LOVE me because I'm too scarred by my own experience to ever ask them to do anything inappropriate (like when I was an asst. and had to buy contraceptive jelly for my boss. Ick.)

Just read the McCain post and thought you were right. You handled yourself brilliantly in the lion's den, my friend.

Your post on abortion and parental notification was one of the most intelligent and honest I've seen on here.

hey, i sure wish i could explain what it was like to be a trained reporter drilled by the old school ties, but that would take so many bottles of single malt scotches and i cant even drink! big virtual hug to you and air kisses too.

what is this about "removing briardahl"?

Heya! I play guitar and keyboards--I use a virtual amp for the first and MIDI for the other. The VAmp is cool - I just plug it straight into my audio in on my Macbook. I tried a USB virtual amp and I forget which one, but it honestly didn't work much better than the one I have that uses the 1/8" plug, so it's what I use. If you'd like I can provide you a link to my (terrible) recordings.

On guitar I'm more of lame punk. On keyboards I'm sort of experimental electronica. I like to sing too, but I haven't found a good microphone. Or time to compose or practice. :)

I was honestly just curious about the other applications, but I'm actually pretty well-adjusted with Garageband and I need to spend more time just practicing and composing before I decide that higher-quality recording is something I really want to do.

I dont know why everyone's getting so freaky-deaky about ur comment on the AJ and Kids post. I didnt find anything condescending or hateful about it.
