Yup. If a diet requires eliminating an entire food group, it's bullshit. OH WORD? BREAD IS POISON? Maybe tell that to the hundreds of generations of people who have survived on it since the dawn of agriculture. Also make sure to tell modern civilization that it exists thanks to poison. Now go die and let me eat my

Parents need to realize that your child being different isnt the worst thing in the world. My wife is a Special Education teacher and deals with autistic students all day, some of which very severe.

Welcome to Retail Hell, our new regular feature

That Pokemon one is this in a nutshell

There's a 0.00001% chance that was an accident.

I once knocked a glass of dessert wine onto my laptop and had to take it in for service. The desktop image was a very sassy and sexy (but fortunately SFW) shot of myself and my boyfriend at a dress-up party. All the gay techs at the shop told me how hot my boyfriend was when I came in to pick it up.

There's a similar story in my family: my dad brought in our VCR because it wasn't working. He goes to pick it up and the repairman asks him, "Do you have any kids?" The reason he asked is because inside the VCR was a bunch of little plastic toy pizzas (the kind that came with the TMNT Pizza Shooter).

oh gamestop stories! I have a few of those.

She leaves. It's been six years, and we've both moved on from this retailer. But to this day my co-worker from then still asks me if I have any "more... of them? You know... them, are there more?"

As ridiculous as it sounds, I can sympathize with credit-card lady. When I was 13 and we got our first computer, a nice and shiny PC running a 386SX (20Mhz I believe, but it's been a while). CDs were pretty new at the time, and an associate of my mothers who was proclaimed as a "computer guy" kept telling me that

When I worked electronics at Walmart in rural Wisconsin (as if that doesn't set up my story beautifully enough...seriously, if you want, just use your imagination to finish the rest), I would deal with a lot of older folks who not only had no idea how to technology but were often PROUD that they had no idea how to

Years ago (I think I was about 9), my parents, aunt, and I were visiting some giant mall in Boston. I found a holographic Raichu card from the Fossil deck near an elevator. I looked around and didn't see anyone, so I picked it up off the floor and stepped into the elevator with my family.

The gentleman came in with his video camera a couple hours later. The video started with the back of his television and then immediately cut to him masturbating on his bed for five seconds then back to the television.

I used to work for a little franchise called Play N Trade (basically GameStop, with all around better prices)

Don't forget that those who went to the moon came back.

NASA had a real, legitimate plan for going to the moon. There is no plan for Mars One, despite what they say. The technology for interplanetary travel and settlement doesn't even exist yet.

I don't know if I'd call most of these nefarious so much as just people not knowing what they're getting into. Game design isn't easy and I get the feeling a lot of people think "oh, if I get $100,000, I can make a game no problem!" but they don't know the scope of the project or what's involved or how much it really
