You just made me realize I haven't seen smoking in movies in a while.

And you're doing exactly what they want by making this article.

The human race continues to remind me how stupid they can be.

Deserts don't make the best areas for large populations.

Those empty spots are there for a reason.

So it seems I want to move west.

Blizzard doesn't really lay off their actual devs. Even when they do the layoffs it usually is for QA or CS. Now that it makes it any better but Blizzard isn't really like EA with Morhaine even giving every dev a paid week off this week for having a good year.

I don't think we'd have to worry about anything evolving that fast.

I think the anime would have done better just expanding upon the SAO arc instead of breezing through it to what probably is the worst story arc of the entire novel. If the anime was ever able to get a second season I think the next arc would redeem it for a lot of people.

The anime didn't explain a lot of things the novel did. In general the novel was better since it showed Kirito's thoughts about things which added quite a bit to the story.

Funny thing with the ending was that I more wanted to let the Solar Flare hit the planet. I demand a choice!

I think religion has been ruining the 'essence of humanity' for the past several thousand years.

You can easily see the Milky Way with the naked eye which is what the gas clouds are in those pictures. I can remember going out to a camp back during Middle School and being amazed at the sky and seeing it.

You'd be surprised how well people can report animal abuse even if it's on the internet.

Of course that's if said race ever felt the need to do what we did.

I'd think that if a alien race out there has the means for interstellar travel that they'd also have the means to not be seen by our technology which would be incredibly primitive compared to theirs.

Really? I almost want to put that Homer facepalm image here.

And in a week everyone will be all over this just like every other time.

If the human race manages to ever get to the point of being able to colonize other worlds before we kill ourselves I'd imagine we'll see that begin to happen.

Now we just need more people doing that around the world.
