I read history mostly because every once in a while, I stumble over a historical fringe figure that turns out to be unexpectedly, endearingly weird.
I've been reading up on the Enlightenment period in Central Europe lately, and I've become obsessed with Emperor Joseph II.
He was pretty anti-social and very devoutly…

I sold my old Sega 32x for a few Euros and gained the soul of the guy who bought it.

When I find games that really appeal to me on an emotional level, I actually think a lot about what kind of people the developers behind those games are.
I wonder what kind of person came up with "Gone Home" or "Stanley Parable" or "Papers, Please", what movies they like to watch and what music they listen to, if they…

Rose of Versailles all the way!

I do have religious beliefs, which is why I'm going to let science chop me up and, if possible, give my parts to people who may need it. Because despite of what I've been told, I highly doubt that God will be mad at me if I chose to donate my organs after I die instead of letting some funeral home drain my residual…

Thoughts?

Reading game site comments and laughing at all of us?

Please post the email, I can translate it for you. I'm intrigued by this Jesse person and want to know more.

Train your dog to bird feed you.

Oh man, I've been that partner, and from my first-hand experience I can say, it really varies from person to person. Some withdraw even more when they feel like their partner is making an effort to support them (guilty!) and would prefer their partner to act like nothing is going on until they've dealt with their…

I have a narrow face and adult sunglasses are always too wide for me. I usually end up buying sunglasses from the kids section :/

Jeez, if my innocuous comments on this sponsored post piss you off this much, then I hope you never take a look at my commenting history and see what I think about Israeli politics.

I'd say roughly somewhere between "fear" and boobs.

I've seen these charts on my optometrist's office walls and they always annoy me. Nothing on there looks anything like my face, and looking at my friends' faces, none of them have "heart shaped" or "oval" faces either. There's just too much variety in the human face to boil it down to this arbitrary number of "4 basic…

LW1: DO NOT BE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE YOU CANNOT BE FRIENDS WITH! You put yourself in the friendzone. It's okay to tell women you are romantically interested in that you can't be friends at this time because it would hurt you. It's the mature thing to do.

Jesus Christ. As a gay person who has extensive experience with buttstuff, let me tell you: Your sources are full of shit, figuratively, You do not ram anything up someone else's butt without a warning and lube. Anal fissures take forever to heal and hurt like hell.

Aww shit that image feature will save me literally hours of sifting through my 400 bookmarks!!

Yeah my sister and I were on our own a lot since we had a single working mom. We walked alone to our kindergarten every day, and later on took the train to our elementary school without a guardian. I always thought the other kids who had their parents with them were a bit weird. One of the moms on the train was a nosy…

Lifestyle magazines. I used to buy them all the time for reading material during my long commutes because I can't focus on books when there's so many people and so much noise around me, but the magazines kind of made me feel like shit about my body. Also, they made me want to buy so much stuff I don't need! Watches!…

Man, I remember so many instances where I just said the opposite of what I wanted to say due to lack of vocabulary. I was just happy I could form basic, understandable sentences.
