When we're done studying, we don't have to bother with girls in order to relax. We can just curl up with a good book and a bottle or two of good beer. Smart engineers know that girls are like cats: you don't have to go after them, eventually one will simply insinuate herself into your life. If you're lucky, you won't want to get rid of her by the time you realize what she's done.
And I still enjoy sticking it into my PS3 from time to time. Combine it with the soundtrack to Kill Bill and a circle of friends who like Tarantino movies, and you've got an awesome party game.
Will this SixthSense device let me see dead people? If so, I don't want to use it. I have enough problems already. I see stupid people. They don't see reason. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're stupid.
I want uncensored, ad-free, on-demand content. When Cuntcast is willing and able to provide that, we can talk price. Until, then, Cuntcast and the rest of the entertainment industry can fuck off and die.
The original 80GB and 60GB PS3 units had PS2 game support with upscaling. Those motherfuckers at Sony decided to scrap it since PS2 consoles were still selling.
Wait a second. You're arguing that wind is better than nuclear because it requires fewer people to operate a wind farm? In case you haven't noticed, there's a recession on. Unemployment is a problem. If nuclear power plants require more people to run, wouldn't that be a good thing?
I don't know what sort of science fiction you've been reading, Nutria, but in Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, people colonized Luna by going underground. Granted, moonquakes may still be an issue, but going underground allows colonists to avoid the issues you've mentioned.
See a competent therapist. No rational person would willingly sell himself into indentured servitude in exchange for a salary, and that's exactly what you'll be doing by becoming a game designer.
If LOTR was an allegory of WWII, the ring would not have been destroyed, but reverse-engineered. Barad-dur would not have been destroyed, but occupied.
If you think you might fit the Aspergers profile, get a professional evaluation. There are too many people on the internet who use self-diagnosed Assburgers as an excuse to be assholes.
I agree with the suit suggestion, but don't just wear black. If you can get away with it, navy blue or charcoal grey suits also look good. Wearing black suits can make you look like an undertaker -- or a servant. You don't want to look like a servant. You want to look like you're your own master.
When somebody asks you why you're still single, there are only two appropriate answers. If the questioner is of the gender you do not find sexually attractive, the appropriate answer is, "None of your business", or a variant thereof. If the questioner is of the gender you do find sexually attractive, then the appropriate answer is, "Unless you're interested in making me not single, it's none of your business."
How about "physical space"? Granted, even the "virtual space" of the internet still has physical existence, but one cannot directly touch streams of electrons zipping through copper and fiber-optic cables.
No, I didn't just coast in school. I hated school. I already knew how to read by the time I started kindergarten, and could even write a bit and do some addition and subtraction. Having to go from reading the newspaper after my father was done with it to singing the alphabet song was intolerable. I hated being spoon-fed scraps of knowledge that I could have obtained on my own given time and free access to a library. I resented being forced to associate with children with whom I had nothing in common but the fact that we were of a similar age. I resented being told to leave a task unfinished just because "it was time" to move on to something else.
In answering your second charge, that I saw no inherent value in education, I could follow Mark Twain's lead and distinguish between education and schooling. However, I will not do so. As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as inherent or intrinisic value. Knowledge and education have no value to me unless I can put it to use.

Ayn Rand doesn't appeal to kids anyway unless they're working for a living and getting it in the pooper from the IRS.

I keep running into demon-ridden idiots.

I prefer Lesbian.
There's glory in IT? I thought it was always a thankless job.
The current status is that Sony can't believe anybody actually fell for that bullshit.
I bought my PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Disgaea 3. The fact that Iron Man looks fucking sweet on BluRay is a bonus.

Are you right-handed? You must be, if you insist in spouting pro-cursive propaganda. Or are you a Zaner-Blosser employee?
Isn't that a blink of an eye from an evolutionary standpoint? It is from a geological viewpoint.

If you read the Silmarillion, it's pretty obvious that Melkor/Morgoth is an analogue of Lucifer/Satan.

I learned that when I used to be a Republican. :)

When I was a kid, if somebody had asked me why I went to school, my answer would have been, "Because state law requires that I do so."
