Ugh, I read the preview passage to one of those books and the language felt like I was being pelted with oranges. I am a lazy writer so I don't have a right to say anything about anybody who is actually out there writing, but sometimes I can't believe that people can be okay with some of the stuff they write when…

I hope you don't take this as me writing off your experience but you are narrowly looking at just your own life and simplifying what white privilege is. White privilege doesn't mean that all white people are rich it means society has different, better standards for whites in totality versus non-whites in totality…

Yeah, I still don't grasp why a ton of people whose tastes otherwise mesh with my own like him. I guess he is the logical conclusion of the idea of the rapper as a fiction/facade/character. He's sort of like Lady Gaga, but even less musical.

I have to admit, Cannon's tweet: pretty freakin' awesome.

The most important line of this is "researchers theorized." When you remember that you see how tacked on lines like "evolutionarily speaking" are. The theorists are trying so hard to shoehorn in that this is instinctual, it's just silly.

Wait, which way do you mean that? Because they literally messed up the world in the story. It's what they did. Or do you mean it was a bad decision for the writers?

You have to appreciate all those pre-internet youthful ways to try and find sexual excitement. Those days were sort of like society's drinking before turning 21. Everything was so magical and even the tiniest thing was special since you never knew where it was coming from. It wasn't really a better way to live, but…

The history of digital junk is actually a long and winding one.

You know what, I think it was. Well hey, the Gamecube was an awesome little plastic lunchbox. I'm cool with an awesome lunchbox, just not a cheap one.

Later on in the cycle they have plans of releasing the wiicod. It's a cod piece mounted sensor. The testing groups found that people felt way more into indecipherable and insane motion games when there was thrusting involved.

My opinion of Nintendo has wavered a little in the last few years but they are certainly better than putting out what looks like a cheap plastic lunchbox.

You too. You too...

Brink is out the same day that the grade for my M.A. thesis is due. Let's hope I deserve that reward. Oh god, I have so little time left. "Freaking out" hardly describes me right now.

From what I can remember at this moment, dev studios tend to be pretty awesome and with it when it comes to their fans. It's the suits with the deep pockets that tend to be dicks.

I agree that this is unfair. Science has already discovered that the female brain is a third the size of ours. They should be receiving one third of the prize money, not one fourth. Anything less is just ridiculous.

"For me, it's a release. I think about my wife."

All those attempts to tie contemporary practices to instinct are always dumb. How would they explain the early 20th century desire to see ankles. "If a woman's ankles are exposed then that show's that her body is better able to regulate the temperature of her blood by its exposure to air making her a better…

Oh, no doubt about it. It's just entertaining to see the bloodthirsty giants turning on each other so openly. Rather each other than us I say.

Heh, sounds about right. Thanks.

If anyone has full access to the article, I was wondering if they tested to see what happened if the dominant member was removed a second time (after causing the group to revert to the carrot tokens). Over time, I also wonder if the subordinate members would ever try to teach the dominant member.
