It's Not My Choice Linkdump

February 22, 2003

Clearing out bookmarks (most-recently-read links at top; post gets moved to top as it gets updated):

  • How To Win At The Dating Game by Jennifer Good: two things wrong. a) off the bat dating is conceptualized as a game and b) this quote: “if you truly wish your dating experiece to be successful, treat it as you would a job or an important project.” See? That's exactly what I'm talking about. If it feels like work, I'm not interested.
  • Dad's Sad, Mad: Too Bad: Why dads don't count when it comes to abortion by Dahlia Lithwick: in line with my views on my abortion, i.e. it's not—and can never be—my decision.
  • Bad Asian Girl (advice from Cary Tennis): Asian girl complains about her conservative parents. Tennis tells her to take a number.
  • One hundred girls for every boy by Theresa Rusho: the author's alma mater is the same as a friend's, but to be honest, I forgot what I was searching for when I found the article. Also: reader responses.
  • The Counterterrorist Myth: A former CIA operative explains why the terrorist Usama bin Ladin has little to fear from American intelligence by Reuel Marc Gerecht. Evidently published a couple months before Sept. 11, 2001.
  • The Rise of Complex Terrorism By Thomas Homer-Dixon
  • Among the Bourgeoisophobes: Why the Europeans and Arabs, each in their own way, hate America and Israel by David Brooks: “America [...] is the land of Bart Simpson, boy bands, boob jobs, and 'Baywatch.'”.
  • Defusing nuclear terror: interesting article on the Nuclear Emergency Search Teams, and some of the bureaucratic problems emerging from a test run of a nuclear terrorist scenario.
  • How NOT to Talk: I'm guilty of some of those, but I forget which ones.
  • The New Criterion: bookmarked for the longest time because I thought I'd read the articles at some point. I was wrong.
  • Tools - Jobs, Workers, Training and Careers: contains a link to Job Alert, which I thought I'd use. I was wrong.
  • The Poutine, She's Delicious: lots of poutine-related links.
  • The Cyber-nerds Guide to Dating: not really useful, since I don't really care anymore. There is also a /. article with links to dating for dorks.
