if you are going to whip out a big graphic, here is one in response. it’s not that they have not kept up with inflation, wages just have not grown in general. for the average person, they are not making more than their parents did. the average person is just not getting any greater share of the wealth created. so with…
i made this and i am just going to leave it here...
i am glad that you mentioned that he did a reggae version of the french national anthem, but you forgot to add that he cut the refrain to just “aux armes, etc...” (to arms, etc). this was, of course, highly controversial to the nationalists and algerian war vets. so he went and bought the original script for the…
city of heroes homecoming is also completely free. it is fan run and lightly modified. they somehow got the source code and have a free server up and running. :)
i do this too! :D
first thought was that this was an onion article. second thought was that this was a jason torchinsky article. :D
can we have some pissing contests that are fun, not ones that make me not like the world? if i ever get out of the grey and we get fun PCs again, i will contribute and actually read these again.

no? but he does have a pretty good band... :)
reminds me of this... :D

i recently reread naomi novik’s uprooted, which is a really good book. i found that she had another earlier book called temeraire, about dragons during the napoleonic wars. liked it so much i was going to order the next and realised that there are like 9 books to the series! luckily i found copies of the series in the…
well, this falls in with the same cognitive bias. if i flip a coin 49 times and get tails 49 times, what are the odds that it will be heads on the next flip? our brain wants to say that it is very good odds, in fact downright a certainty that it will be heads. this is the basis for the betting industry. but…
i do not have all my old travel photos on hand, this is the only one that popped when i sorted through what i have available.
