You sure do put a lot of energy into being a smug, sarcastic asshole.

I clearly stated in my edit, which was put up before your ridiculous comment, that I don't mean all women. I mean, why do the women who do this, do this?

If you were looking for an opportunity to show how smart and perceptive you believe you are, then I guess this was your lucky day. Meanwhile, I believe my question was probably perfectly understood by those who have graduated from the whole meaningless debate about 'all women' or 'all men' or 'all blacks' or 'all Jews'--in other words, intelligent, enlightened people who have long ago accepted the fact that such generalizations are unfair, have actually gotten rather tired of having to prove they understand this every goddam time they have a conversation, and have moved on to examining the real issue, which is: why does this happen?

That is the question I was asking.

Why do women do shit like this?

*I don't mean 'all women', I mean... well, you know what I mean.

I bought D3 and I have to say I am a little disappointed. I liked the interface for D2 better, visually speaking. I can't really say why, just a personal preference. And there's something about the structure I don't like either. So far I have not come across any branching storylines. It's just one event leading to another to another, and I have never been much of a one for story in games anyway. I would prefer open play, I guess.

I dunno... maybe it will grow on me.

I have a level 60 character in WoW but I found one day that I just got bored with the whole thing... after like nine zillion hours of playing. It definitely helped keep me sober, though.

I've won several games of Civ IV

Oh, reeeeeeeeeeally? What setting do you play on, out of curiosity?

I have been a huge fan of the Civ games since the mid 90s.

I'm taking this very class right now. I'm on Unit 2-25, Factorial. It's kicking my ass. I haven't taken a programming course since 1985, when I learned Pascal.

Dave Evans is a fantastic teacher.

I didn't know defensive ejaculation was an option! I will try that the next time I'm being attacked.

Gotta disagree with ya there, champ. Have you read Kavalier and Klay? Or Gentlemen of the Road?

We stopped using deodorant some time ago in favor of a 50-50 mix of corn starch and talc. We add a few drops of tea tree oil as well. It works about ten times better than the best deodorant I've ever used. I ALWAYS reek at the end of the day, but now I don't! Thanks, Mother Nature!

Yes, those are both true. I've used buckwheat grass but not alfalfa.

Yes, I have some in my garden. I'm trying to figure out if I should pull it all or leave some or leave all of it.

I realized after I quit drinking that my body was made up of 70% water and 29% anger issues. The other 1% is my guts and stuff. If you pulled all the anger out of me, I'd be a foot shorter. Angry? Hoo boy.

I've actually had this problem since I was a little kid. I'm not sure why. I used to get into a lot of fights, and later I got bullied, and later still I became a bully, though not for too long. I controlled myself pretty well, but the last time I lost it, which was almost twenty years ago, I punched a guy while drunk and scarred him for life. Never mind that he was in the process of beating up someone else. I could have found a different way to deal with it if sober.

Anyway... which came first, the angries or the drunks? In my case it was definitely the angries. I started drinking to deal with it, and to make myself feel better about myself, and to generally escape from being me.

What I've done about it, so far, is to quit drinking. That's about it. I have some seriously unresolved issues, and you've actually just reminded me that I've been meaning to get back into therapy as soon as possible. Things are going great right now, which is the time you want to start working on yourself... so they stay that way.

He did use compost in his kitchen garden. He just didn't try to cover large areas in it, because that would have led to large expense and a great deal of extra work. His whole philosophy was not to interfere if at all possible, which is what he meant by "do-nothing farming". Many Westerners have interpreted this to mean he was lazy, which is of course ridiculous.

No mention made of Edmund Bergler, a psychiatrist who wrote books on curing homosexuality by treating it as a neurosis, and who claimed to have cured thousands of people through psychotherapy. Spitzer was hardly the first to do stuff like this, and in fact I think he was probably piggybacking on Bergler's work.

Dude: you are better off drinking toilet water than drinking booze, and I mean that sincerely.

Get the fuck out of there. Grab the bride's garter, ram some cake in the groom's face, steal the biggest-looking present and just fucking book it.

I swear to God I remember being in the airport somewhere and meeting my grandfather for the first time. I stood up, and he cheered. This would have been when I was around one. I'm sure a lot of people will tell me this is impossible.

Good God, I had no idea North and South were actually separate countries before the war. Consider me edified. Thank you.

Yeah, really... I read that and suddenly it was 1977 and I was sitting in a movie theater with my dad, watching Star Wars.
