I wanted a Mass Relay.

No surprises to me. We’ve got the confrontational “No, you’re an idiot” kind like Dawkins and then we’ve got “No, I know this is going to be an intellectual Vietnam with you so I really don’t want to talk about it” kind like me.

One note: If you find yourself in this situation more than a couple times a month (or ever, depending on where you work), you’re probably doing something wrong. You should probably re-evaluate your life choices before you find yourself forced to seek out new employment. I would love to be in my early 20’s again and be…

So glad I’m married.

The problem with gravity is that everything in the universe has it. Say you account for the sun, the planets, all their moons, and all the large structures known about in the solar system. Some unknown peice of space trash several AU away can still change a trajectory at a specific point that significantly changes…

Menora, fedora, and law. Oh my!

Albert, I’m in awe. I remember 15 year-old me leaving the theater after RotJ, a little confused. I was glad to see how it “ended” (ha!), but felt dirty about the plot holes and teddy bears. As the years passed, I’ve felt guilty about sharing with people that I thought RotJ is a dumpster fire. Thanks for the very…

“The world is full of things that can rip puny humans to shreds.”

It’s almost as if burgeoning human sexuality was a nuanced subject with complicated historical issues regarding morality and safety! It might even be that through journalistic reporting, we can analyze specific situations as they arise, perhaps gaining a greater insight into both the ingrained cultural stereotypes…

THOSE EARS ON YOUR LILLY DOG. I love them. And I love you, you weirdo. This is unfuckingbelievable.

1) It was probably accidental. God knows how many times I’ve had a cell phone go off while I’m in class.

2) Because he’s a kid and kids don’t always listen to their teachers? Duh.

3) Uh-oh, he used the wrong word to describe his action! He must be up to something!

4) How, exactly, is that up to the family anyway?

Evidently, the wefuckedupitis spread quickly around the team, infecting the kicker.

As a brown non-Muslim, I really think it’s the media’s fault. Turn on your local news and you’ll see just all kinds of negativity - specifically around minorities. Caricatures of the races really. Then the media calls you (esp. upper-middle class white people) a racist for thinking brown people are terrorists and…

The police spokesman, James McLellan is a moron! What is a clock used for, indeed. I would go out on a limb and guess it tells time?

When the source material is ultimately a diatribe about why we’d all be better off if there were a worldwide military junta, maybe a disrespectful adaptation is the only way a sensible person could ever approach it.

Commercial doesn’t feature Sir-Mix-A-Lot... opportunity fail.

Well, the ability to try to ignore nonsense. When belligerent idiots take it upon themselves to force their attention on you, to the point where it floods out everything that isn’t them and causes you to take on the new full-time job of blocking them and their friends, it isn’t quite as wonderful anymore.

While it’s true that some folks will troll under their real name or under a screen name, discussions on say, Facebook which strives to use folks real names, are rarely as instantly vitriolic as it is on Twitter, XBL, Reddit or elsewhere.
