    I guess if you're a Grammar Nazi then yes, that's what I was implying. If not, then I was saying that those are the two busy times of the year for a tax professional.

    I don't think taxes are the issue. It's all the stupid laws and loopholes that make it so you have to hire a tax expert at $250/hr so you can avoid having to pay out the ass every April and October.

    How about satellite users WITH usage caps? Not only do they have to deal with the cap, but a 500ms latency. I know we're getting into appealing to the rural demographic, but farmers have money, too.

    Statistically, you wasted 30 minutes of your life that you can never get back.

    ...but I figured out that if I just randomly pick moves while talking to someone or thinking about another task I was much more successful. If, however, I thought hard about my choice and tried to use strategy then I lost big time.

    What he is writing here is directly what happens in real life - you choose your words or actions badly and even one bad choice ends up to you not having sex with the girl.

    As to love or no love, emotional attachment or not... Being that you're not a woman, you don't have some extra chemicals besides the ones I mentioned above working against you. It's near impossible for a woman past a certain age to have sex and not develop an emotional attachment. Ever wonder why we want to cuddle or be clingy after sex (or octopus you during climax?) -- BRAIN CHEMICALS! Believe me, if we could shut it off, or take a pill to let us have no strings attached sex like guys, the world would be a far sluttier place. I'm totally serious about this... don't laugh.

    This is off topic, but a great topic none the less. I've known plenty of women who were totally fine with a physical relationship (at least that's what they said) but the majority would say they fall into the category you describe and really want more. For a long time scientists thought that women were mostly monogamous while men were inherently the opposite. They attributed these assumptions to the nurturing, demure character of women and hunter-gatherer and conquering nature of men. Recent studies have shown this not to be the case, however; women are just as likely to cheat as men. I'm sure for every study that support this there's a study to contradict, but it's not quite as widely accepted as it was in the days of Freud.

    So yes, women may like to be clingy after sex, but after the euphoria of orgasm wears off, it seems they are at least fantasize about multiple partners just as much as men. I don't think you were arguing that point though, were you?

  14. Re:Not just with video games, but in general on Why Do Videogames Struggle With Sex? · · Score: 3, Informative

    This seems to be more of a problem with the way US thinks about sex, while we here in Europe can just have it casually and not make a big deal out of it. Sure it might be shallow relationship, but so what, sex is fun, feels good and there really isn't any reason not to enjoy it.

    I assure you, there's no shortage of casual and shallow sex here in the US.

    Jeopardy is not Strategy.

    Gotta disagree here. Apparently the big reason Ken Jennings was able to stay on top (aside from his recall ability) was the fact that he knew exactly when to press the buzzer. If you press before Trebek finishes the question then your buzzer is disabled for a short period, so if you know exactly when to press then your more likely to increase your chances to answer.

  19. Correction, I don't leave the house unless it's to drop one off or pick one up. So yeah, that shit's funny.

  20. Uh, I have kids...I don't leave the house.

  21. It's amazing to watch a human learn the art of speech. I wish I had begun recording at my daughter's first sounds and continued while they evolved into the full sentences she carries on now at three years old. Unless you have a chronicle of such events it's hard to remember when they could only say a few words, especially when it's hard to get them to stop talking long enough to eat dinner. Even as parents the speech patterns change as the child is old enough to understand and repeat...although there's not much funnier than hearing a toddler say "goddamnit", or "son of a bitch" - I think that's the entire premise that South Park was built on.

    If I didn't make the correction then someone, probably you, would have made a joke about how I have mirrors in my closets or some stupid shit like that.

    When I trace to bit.ly it stops in San Jose, CA. They probably have mirrors in several countries and this one happens to be closets for us.
