This is pretty awesome, I often notice well groomed hands on ladies but now I want to see this and dork it up at the same time.

That's right, evolutionary fact, many people just get such a bloodlust higher reasoning shuts down

I'm going off the GoT shots released and videos of them filming there, what I've been shown, not wikipedia entries on the country. They're completely bare. In the books there is literally no open space anywhere except for perhaps one location on a mountain that won't happen for a few seasons yet I think; the cleared…

Actually I kinda don't like it, because north of the wall is a vast forest and even the furthest north we have gone in the books so far is still a forest. Whereas Iceland has no trees at all and it's just endless frozen wasteland.

HEY LOOK ITS ALVIN RAMJAMWHATEVER

It's probably my biggest social peeve. You could whip down your pants every day and drop a deuce in front of me and it would wind me up less than people fucking around with their damn phones all the time. Anyone under the age of 30 seems to have been partially sucked into their phone, their personalities spend half…

OK let me set something straight for you and every other dumb yank who never thought beyond their paycheck and 401k; it is not "The British" who have bad teeth, and they are not bad. It's "the rest of the world outside your pisspot hyper-narcissistic country and culture" and they are normal; you are the people who…

"The film, directed by Zal Batmanglij"

The mental aspects of the Dune series are probably the most notable. Unfortunately much like the rest of it it becomes increasingly incomprehensible and dogmatic as the series draws on until the entire cast have become mystic warrior-priests talking their own language. This is why the modern posthumous efforts to…

See I know this is meant to be a joke and maybe a lifetime of scifi has fried my mind, but I am genuinely concerned about something like that. It's not normal procedure at all, and we have copious amounts of speculatory example on how this could go down if there was something nasty down there, if they've been Thing'd…

I find questions like this hugely childish. After all, only as children have we experienced so little owing to our short span that we could point at individual things and say "this is what made me".

In videogames, there are noticeable differences in image perception between 30, 60 and 100 frames per second. Even in film there are those pushing for much higher framerates than 28 fps, Ebert for one raves about it as the single best step up in visual quality he ever saw compared to high resolutions, 3D etc. All…

I've seen you use that line about Idiocracy to dismiss (for you at least) what anyone says at least three times on this site down the years.

I've maintained since I first came to understand about them that they must not have been much different to us. They were similar enough genetically that we interbred with them, to the extent that you could say they did not die out at all, just the more isolated populations shrunk to nothing while those who met their…

There's a great number of mentally troubled people out there who find solace among other mentally unstable people on the internet in a way they never have or could in the real world. People like that genuinely do get off on upsetting other people, because they're not sane and very poorly socialised to boot (whether…

"I don't think the researchers are suggesting here that men actually stay awake longer because they are afraid their partner will leave for another mate."

"And so ends the story of what really must be the nerdiest courting strategy in the entire animal kingdom."

IIRC they had been trying for a child for some time unsuccessfully. She cheated during a short period coinciding exactly with the presumed date of conception. I think we are meant to believe it was not his, since a paternity test would have been straightforward. If it was meant to be speculated over, then if for some…

I found out in my late twenties after an utterly lonely unproductive life, crippling social deficit and regular bouts of suicidal depression that I had been diagnosed with mental disorder very early on after strong indications (before that sort of thing was so well known) and mainly on the dictate of my father, my…

You have only to look for a second to understand everything going on here; no-one in these pictures is not overweight. This son is totally unprepared to rule, but the generals and ruling class have no better way to maintain their well fed lifestyle while the people starve. They spent most of a century venerating his…
