"Ants!"

Same here. I just spent an insane amount of time tagging my MP3s, agonizing over absurd micro-level decisions (whether an album counts as "pop" or "rock," etc.). My shit is now organized, but it was exhausting.

Would it make any difference if she were a hot supermodel who was authentically into geeky stuff? Reading between the lines, the complaint seems to be: "If she were really into Star Wars, then she would totally want to be my girlfriend, because I really like Star Wars. But since she's FAKING that interest, I hate…

1) If men are brutes without women, then surely the problem is not gay marriage, but men.

With open carry, I might worry a little about whether this guy with a gun is going to kill me. With conceal carry, there's a chance that he might kill me, but it'll be a surprise. In either case, there's not much I can do, so I prefer the surprise.

I think the cartridge thing is a pretty bad example of the phenomenon that he's trying to describe, i.e., how we blindly believe in bullshit because our minds trick us into seeing patterns that aren't really there. It wasn't blind faith that drove us to blow into our cartridges: it was a use of reason, a (half-assed)…

And slot machines always pay off, if you keep sticking quarters in them.

Maybe the point is that we'd rather try something than do nothing, even if it's a long shot. When your game is fucked up, and the only bit of info you've got is "I hear that sometimes blowing on it helps," then it's either do that, or give up.

Get back to us when you've done 1% of the activism that the guys in RATM have done.

I've definitely become a binge watcher over the past few years. The pattern has its pros and cons…

I got free access to JStor as a student, and still get it as an alumni
privilege. It's mostly obscure, specialized academic journals, each with a readership of about twenty people.

In that case, I'll make a trillion copies, and own the universe. And eat it, like Galactus.

If I download 23 copies of this album from Pirate Bay, would that make me a millionaire?

I had a similar experience: I was really into D&D as a kid, but spent most of the time reading the manuals, rather than actually playing. I remember starting many campaigns with friends, but they never went anywhere, because no one was as into it as I was. I didn't really care, though: I loved rolling up characters,…

A Trying of Patience

By the same pretzel logic, only Meatmen are qualified to judge the value of Meatmen songs.

You can argue that copyright infringement is something you shouldn't do, like thieving (or any number of other crimes)…but you can't really argue that it's the same thing as stealing, or a form of stealing. It just isn't. The law treats the two acts as completely different things.

She also gets raped by Henry Rollins. Though Sutter's character also gets raped and brutalized in prison. I bet they're a fun couple.

That's what you're supposed to do, and I'll do that next time around…but I couldn't say goodbye to character #1, after spending countless hours building him up.
