I find that I do this, not because I want to, but because I HAVE to. It's the only way to get through conversations with most people, because they are talking about stuff I don't care about. And they don't want to talk about the stuff I DO care about.

I completely fail to understand this line of argument. Valve have released literally at least one game per year since Day of Defeat in 2003. Where the hell are people getting this?

Okay guys, clearly this guy understands the gravity of what his Kickstarter represents. He's setting up a free festival and setting up an anti-hunger trust. He's a responsible person. Everyone who backed had a good time with it.

Salma-what? I like to dip my bread in it. Have done so since I was a small child and have never contracted salmonella. Germ-a-phobe much?

Under the First, You Have to Show Up section, it might be good to include:

So, they didn't make Starcraft 2 then?

I think this whole "be careful what you Kickstart" thing is actually par for the course. A lot of people don't realize behind the scenes, projects can go on for months and have hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on it only to see it flop. That's normal for a large corporation, to invest in new concepts and…

I liked this article. I graduated college in 2012 from the University of Kansas, worked as an entry level admin for a department at the school for a year, hated it, and moved to Colombia to teach English. Currently working for Cisco and loving it. Every day is a new adventure. I agree college was a fun time and I…

Nope. I hate those people who try to strike up a conversation out of nowhere when you need to be doing something else, or just want some quiet time. If you acknowledge them or respond in any way, they won't let go, and you're stuck with them for the duration. There have been many times when I've gotten off of a…

He didn't say science implies it. It looks like an example of where apparently sound scientific reasoning can be wrong.

you really shouldn't substitute brown sugar or confectioners sugar for white sugar if you can help it. Brown sugar can change the structure of what you're making, and can make the taste waaaay off depending on what you're trying to make. Confectioners sugar has corn starch and anti clumping agents added, so again,…

Not every veteran cares about it and plenty of civilians do. Tidiness isn't limited to the military.

"To make sure you are fully prepared, make sure you know all of the details about the event—start time, exact location, dress code, directions to get there, etc."

Separate licensing and registration. Require psychological evaluation for licensing. Require registration be renewed annually and with each sale. Implement severe, enforceable penalties for possessing an unregistered firearm. Implement severe, enforceable penalties for failing to report a firearm as stolen. Criminal…

Not changing the world... yet. The internet is a new place, humans are a new race. We ARE evolving, all be it slowly. It is better to have shined a light on our negative qualitys now, so we can address them and hopefully work toward a better 'us' tomorrow. Yes ignore the trolls in the moment, but don't ignore the…

Abuse is abuse - trolling is abuse, and does hurt people. Only a complete moron thinks otherwise.

Why not try to change the world? It is unacceptable, so stand up to it.

So, since a bunch of people in the world are going to be assholes no matter what. That makes it A-OK for people to do so free as they want anywhere including the internet?

Reminds me of the quote wrongly attributed to Mark Twain, but still pretty good:

That would actually have been useful a little over 14 years ago!
