To be honest, whenever I watch a documentary and Uranus is mentioned, I still assemble certain mental images I shouldn't associate with a planet. I don't say anything, I don't even show it, but inside, I'm having a party of sorts.

Because they can afford a pound of fungus that costs more than my rent and monthly car insurance (and a few cups of coffee) combined; and because they are rich at the expense of those who aren't.

Thanks for asking. Well we left in '89, or '88, certain facts contradict the dates, but let's go with '89. Hungary did rather well under communism. I daresay that it was probably the closest thing to the theories of communism. My family left because the collapse of the status quo was written on the wall by the…

When I was 9 years old, my mom, sister and I were supposedly visiting my father in neighbouring Yugoslavia for the day, by the end of which day we were on our way to Italy because we were going to live there. I wasn't told beforehand because my mom feared I would let it slip at school, and in communist Hungary…

Haha - I always imagine how models receive the news of their upcoming projects. Imagine, poor barbies have to wake up likely super early, get ready, beauty up - hours - just so when they get to the gig the director is like "ok baby, now we will put a giant snail on your face". You got to respect actors/models for…

Sugar is a killer. Low-fat stuff are full of shit that are more harmful for your body than the good fat that you're trying to avoid. The body knows what to do with fat, it does not know what to do with aspartame and modified corn starch and all the nasty plastic that are pumped into "heart healthy" low fat crap. I…

You should consider that suicide isn't looked upon from the same angle, given time and society, and maybe even social standing. (search seppuku and go from there). Then there's health. A terminally ill person may actually be taking the dignified and responsible way out by ending their lives when and how they…

There's no such thing as a suicide attempt, just stupid attention seeking melodramatic losers. Yes, suicide is a tragic reality, a sad outcome to lives lost - but a "suicide attempt" is really just pathetic people seeking attention. Either you kill yourself because that's what you want, or you "try" to kill yourself…

I've seen this before a while back, and it breaks my heart now just as it did then. Asian "pedagogy" is, generally speaking, harsh and backwards. Child psychology and developmental factors are systematically ignored - and I can only imagine how much worse it is in North Korea. I'm not talking about parental love,…

I'm not by any measurement anywhere near being qualified to judge people, but damn there really are some dumb-ass humans walking amongst us. Started off being funny, ended up sort of sad, knowing that many of these people will reproduce.

What part of Africa? It's quite a large continent. I didn't watch the video. I'm sure Australia would be a far better destination.

I have a major headache, just woke up from a nap, haven't put on my glasses, and after leaning in to the screen to read and re-read this part, my headache just got worse! Sheesh!

Not quite on track with the topic, but I stopped reading the Ender's saga when I learned that its author is a raging homophobe. I threw out the books.

Yes they're all here, but that doesn't mean it's needed. I can play good 720p video on my 42" Sony Bravia (not high-end by any current standards) and it's looks good enough. A really well done 1080p file is over-kill. Now, I'm not saying that it's not good or needed or wanted to have 4K, but the average screen size…

Sorry, I don't get - the US is helping because they like poetry?

Or building an entire city on a swamps, below sea level, on a coastline? New Orleans, USA.

Undeniably horrendous, but let's just take this moment to simply remember the Tohoku earthquake of 2011 (Japan) which officially caused the deaths of a little less than 16,000 people and over 2,500 people missing.

I was 20 when I lost my virginity to my 20 year old virgin girlfriend. The secret to my sex was that I always had an open mind to experimenting, trying things, and very early on I told her that if she doesn't tell me what she wants, likes, doesn't like - basically honest feedback - that she'll only be screwing…

I swear I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I never bought into these "errors" or "leaks" - I always found them to be too convenient, too much akin to sort of teasers leading up to launches or official unveilings. The way these circumstances always unravel preciesily the same way can't be random - limited early…

Actually, looks more like an alien supporting his boyfriend to finally call up the wife and break the news to her that he's actually gay and wants a divorce. The gun is symbolic for assertion, the monkey represents the wife whom he was only forced to marry after knocking her up in college.
