I get this a lot. When I tell people I'm an engineer they're all like, "oh that's so great to see a woman in the engineering field! You're going to have so many employment options!" I don't mind those comments, but it got to the point where if they didn't make a big deal out of my gender I got disappointed, which was stupid. I'd been treated like a special little snowflake for so long that I started to feel like a special little snowflake, even though the logical part of my brain knew that wasn't true. Moral of the story, if you make these sorts of comments to people, be prepared for them to start thinking that they're special just for being a woman or whatever.

My professor has adopted a boy from Vietnam and a boy from India, and she spoke about her experience. In some countries like Vietnam, there is a demand for adopted babies, so parents are exploited. The reason she adopted her second son from India is because they have a very strict adoption system to be sure A) there are absolutely relatives that want him and B) he will be well cared for in America. It took years from first contacting the orphanage to actually meeting their son. The reason there are 9,000 unadopted children in India is because India saw the exploitation that went on in other countries because there were more people who wanted to adopt than there were availiable babies.

OMG! "Buried" reference!

But there are parts of reality that we have no organ to detect, like electricity, gravity, radiation, etc. and so we convert them into forms we can detect like light bulbs or clicks on a Geiger counter.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Wouldn't that count as an act of God outside the circle?

You ever hear the song Spanish Train? It's a good one. It has a similar plot.
