I really don't get your logic here. If he said TO ingest mercury, and (conservative) people always want to do the opposite of what he says, the result is that no-one ingests mercury.

Seriously, fuck people who give you shit for citing Wikipedia in an internet argument.

Yeah, I kinda scratched my head at that too.

Oh please God don't try to turn getting chastised for not showing your work into the next anti-woman conspiracy. You have to show your work in math. Of all the thousands of ways The Patriarchy is fucking over women, this is not one of them.

The alternative is doing what Gawker just did, splitting into 15+ different sub-Gawkers, which is a pain in the ass to browse. I trust the writers of Io9 to keep the content relevant enough.

No, it really doesn't. The writers of Io9 have absolutely no obligation to you to "fit the theme" they have presented. If an article doesn't meet your standards of what should be allowed on Io9, don't read it.

Dude, just get some Girl Scout Cookie and be done with it.

SNL sketches are made for people who can't get over the fact that it's not 1980 anymore.

Oh shut the fuck up. Public comments mean people are going to "chime in" on your conversation. Get used to it.

I'm being 100% serious, I wasn't completely sure until the part where he dips the sushi for like 30 seconds rice side down. Dipping sushi is literally the only sushi etiquette I know.

God I can't tell whether I'm being trolled with stuff like "Women must pour for men, then for themselves. This is the samurai way."

It's not as bad as the other big one:

Marriage only means you can't be FORCED to testify against your spouse, it says nothing about willingly doing it.

I'll throw you a pity-search.

Hell, I wasn't even alive yet in 1988. I can't remember where I picked up the idea of bit-by-bit (neuron-by-neuron) mind transfer, but I'm not arrogant enough to believe I thought it through on my own.

"I'd just bypass it all by saying I'd have my neurons slowly replaced by synthetic ones until all my brain tissue is artificial. Thus my mind is moved to a better substrate ("uploaded" although I hate that term.) without ever having to lose my train of thought."

To be fair, most of the people who DO know Warden isn't unstoppable don't want to risk getting their accounts banned.

You've already played it? Shit, get me in on that.

The greatest thing the government did is turn the word "conspiracy" into a dirty word associated with mentally ill people.

"I think education in and of itself leads to the correct conclusion that you should get vaccinated."
