No, just maturity, got to be hard, preferably a strong cheddar, perhaps on crackers or toast. Maximum power for a snack. Though I once had an emotional night after a late baked camembert.

How much of this is in cheese? Because I've always found cheese to basically be a topical dream enhancer any given night I want them vivid. Followed by bad morning breath. Worth it.

Long term side effects will never be clear because the thing about old people, the really noticeable thing, is they lose their minds. How are you meant to discern, say, a general increase in depressive episodes or less REM sleep when your focus group, even if they spent their whole lives stone cold sober, spend 3 days…

Considering the Assault starts with the best guns, Support starting guns are overpowered post-patch and the reliable M249 is quick to unlock, all sniper rifles kill in one headshot and the unlocks you want are ~30 kills done, IR flares are now universal, I don't see why you'd pay unless you're clueless. 3200 MS…

Whenever I'm exposed to such vituperative contrariness in the media (in this example, a show much praised and loved by many dismissed as needing a bigger, different audience and its audience dismissed as lame) I am prompted to ask; cui bono? Who at NYT wants this bullshit out there as their review this year and last,…

Gendry never winds up being terribly important before being sidelined, but it is to find and kill him that spurs the search for his party north and sets into motion Arya's story.

Is it really... really that important. A fun thing we do in bed together and it can go as well or badly as any other joint activity. By all means strive to do it well on a personal basis as we strive in all things but do we need negative essays about doing it badly, let alone more war of the sexes. Are you getting…

I'd be interested in hearing from any wealthy patrons of hers exactly what kind of stripper she is. Are we talking hands off, snail trails or swapped numbers and prices in the VIP? Because at 2k a night she's got some wealth looking her way for one reason or another, and it's not a pretty face, which are ten a penny.

So... Gawker were so uncertain they could secure users details now they decided to abandon responsibility for it completely. To strangely monolithic data-tracking websites rather than, say, OpenID. Whether I buy it or don't buy it I'm kicked in the balls either way. What happens when the great Facebook Hack of 201X…

Read up on the concept, if you're unaware already, of 50 centers (chinese originally but now ubiquitous across the West) and understand that this movie has been a major, major push of their use by Hollywood. That's why we haven't been able to avoid this shitty film no matter what website you go to for 3 months. Also a…

Perhaps you should stick to My Little Pony. Are you for real. Physically ill indeed.

Well... I don't care what Bioware say. Having created a universe they don't get to retain total authorial control over it. It's their mistake trying to claim the Asari are somehow "all female". They've very obviously tried hard to make that the case but the fact remains they made a race of aliens that are genderless.…

You know, (ultranerd glasses on) Samara is not technically a woman. Asari are genderless and reproduce via their weird mind melding thing. If they had bulging pectorals and their head tentacles looked more like Don Drapers slick parting and they sounded like Barry White they wouldn't be men either.

I've always been fascinated since childhood by what it really was that allowed us to become what we are today compared to the rest of the animal kingdom. It's all very well saying "we have bigger brains and thumbs" but what environmental pressure caused us to develop those and what breakthroughs did they allow that…

Reading this, you made the troll comment. You made it so the inevitable response let you make the followup, where you call people cunts. You need to sit down and examine your life priorities so you might not feel the need to do things like this. There are people you can talk to, medications you can take if necessary.…

I am sick to death of hearing about this franchise. I'm at a loss why the internet won't shut up about it. I suspect some kind of mass marketing effort with Chinese 50-center style fake buzz.

Is it me or is this a big deal? It proves that DLC is not post-release developed, is not developed independently from the main game, and is deliberately cut and withheld from the main game to gouge more money out of people. That is a big deal, since those are all excuses developers use ALL THE TIME, including Bioware.…

Very funny. What if I agree with it?

Birthrates are plummeting in the developed world and rocketing in the undeveloped. Food shortages are occurring more frequently and prices are rising. Water tables are disappearing. Extinction is proceeding apace, as is pollution. Money is ever more concentrated in fewer hands while the poor proliferate. Social unrest…

Awesome. And in this job climate they can just do this and people will accept it to get a job. And that's a healthy society and working capitalism.
