The deck is stacked.

That gif is the product of some SERIOUS love! Hot damn!

In a week, people will look back and say: “That was the study that launched a thousand dick-pics.”

I wish it was just teens. It’s older people now who can’t go five minutes without seeing if their kids posted a new status update.

See, you are a person I can respect. Thank you for being someone who doesn’t judge the Artist by the art (pardon the pun). I love people who have a large enough mind to contain that it’s kosher to adore a person’s art even if you think they hold beliefs you disagree with, or are terrible to others in their personal…

Prince didn’t say that the record industry impoverished him. The point he’s making (perhaps wrongly or rightly, I won’t take sides yet) is that the publishers profit disproportionately from the musician’s blood, sweat and tears. Also, that they exert an unfair amount of control over the musician’s product.

There are about 7 cases of plague in the U.S. every year, mostly in the West

I remember when that article came out, and I was so thrilled by it I had to track down an old coworker of mine who had moved-on just so I could gush to him about it.

If anyone wants some good public domain free stuff, Sun Tzu’s Art of War is great, and not overlong. The Pelopennesian War by Thucydides is a harder read, but excellent. Both books changed the world.

It's sad that a guy used to need a fully-stocked dark-room to develop his photos if he wanted to relive this crap or share it with others. No longer. :(

I work with a lot of ex-cons and once while they were having a smoke, the oldest one told about how when he was in the joint, one man who had raped all of his 5 daughters decided he was too good to be in Protective Custody (aka Punk City), and opted to run with the big dogs in the gen-pop. He said some of the other…

I think they all have the same stylist. This is the bastard who’s been bogarting the three o’clock.

I'm familiar with what gold-farming is, and I didn't realize that's what they were doing. Sad situation, regardless.

Nope nope nope! Remember, you only get one! If you were a guy, the idea itself would cause pain!

I used to troll people on AOL Instant Messenger (back when that was a thing) telling teens that “Everyone at school thinks you’re SUCH a poser! Why do you try to act popular?” and then basing my next sally on their response. I did it for an afternoon and got rewarded with bigger responses, but diminishing mental…

The same can probably be said anytime people play obsessively. It’s got to be mental illness that compels a person to take a dump in their own sock rather than leave WoW for two minutes. No game is that powerful just by itself.

Does the book mention that South Korean couple who let their baby starve while they were at the Internet cafe, or is it just about suicide?

Last time I was in the YA section, on every book there it said something like: “If you loved Hunger Games, you’ll love this!” Or “Move over, Hunger Games!” Or “This series is the next Hunger Games!”

I suppose some people don’t realize that Israel would vaporize Iran the second their missile-silo doors began to open.

I forbid you to say “cuts it” in this context.
