Second clip is hilarious, but nevertheless elicits from me:

You know, I wonder if pairing a negative stimulus with a positive stimulus would help ease anxiety about the negative stimulus.

No way would most construction projects in the US continue through rain that hard.

Casey, I have to commend you for weathering negative comments from so many people reading your Sploid posts. Even more, I have to commend you for taking what little of substance they actually had to say and using it as constructive criticism to improve every post.

Have you fed it any paper clips?

You can’t really say the boy, being only 16 years old, too young to have fully developed brain architecture, and full of hormones, is equipped to make any rational decisions in a matter like this, either.

That’s not a ghost window. That’s a ghost ROOM. It appears in the video that the interior wall is several feet farther into the room than the window on the exterior.

At least Reddit banned him, according to the mods on the NMS subreddit...

Man, I need to finish this game. Though I also hear you can’t really get the true ending until you’ve finished it three times.

When I did the last 1.0 story dungeon, my group was finished with the whole thing inside 15 minutes.

It was both hilarious and disheartening, since I didn’t get to DO anything.

88 is a known white supremacist/neo-nazi abbreviation of heil Hitler. The 8s replace Hs.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have merit, both in terms of art and entertainment. I liked your story about Neil Gaiman, though.

Rowling, I guess? Since strength of character generally means “positive, healthy character,” I doubt that would come from Voldemort. Indomitable will, on the other hand, maybe. But I don’t think the Horcrux affected his personality.

I'm hoping you didn't actually read the article you linked, because you have some pretty big reading comprehension challenges to address otherwise.

Similarity between ideas is not the same thing as plagiarism. Offer up actual evidence that she actually read those comics, and then we can have a conversation about what plagiarism actually is.

Certainly him being almost sorted into Slytherin and being a Parselmouth are intentional. The Dementors were sent after him, though, and one would like to believe that it was Harry’s own indomitable will and strength of character that got him through the Imperius curse.

They did, however, enslave Koreans and Chinese people during WWII. There’s a lot of racial tension anywhere you go, and every culture has huge, racist skeletons in its closet.

Plenty of neurons are replaced constantly in your brain. The cerebral cortex contains the oldest cells in your body— many of them are as old as you are. However, other parts of your brain get much more rapid turnover and can be as young as a few weeks old.
