I'm actually uncertain what will happen to the adult movie industry after this kind of growth spurt. I mean, we've all seen what kind of a mess can take place when a company prematurely comes from behind or tries to pull out when all they really need is a little coaxing. Of course, it's not like the porn industry has to bend over backwards to provide entertainment these days.
I think once the porn industry stops jerking us around and really starts playing hardball, then I can really get excited. I don't even mind that the porn industry kisses my ass or strokes my ego or throws the general audience a bone now and again, but this could be gigantic. I don't think I really could go either way; I've made up my mind -- I'm straight up ready and willing for this next big thing.
In fact, I'm just about ready to give the porn industry a helping hand.
Love is not reasonable and can not be reasoned with.
So you're saying that love is kinda like a Terminator? Can love show pity or remorse? And love absolutely will not stop until I am dead?
How about one of those female Terminators like in the third movie? I want to have one of them stalking me. With a flamethrower.
You know, 'cause love should be able to set my heart on fire as if it were one of those old junker cars sitting on the side of a road that the good guy ducks behind just before the flames splash overhead and igniting the gas tank making a huge, beautiful fireball into the sky. Oh, hell yeah! What I wouldn't give to have the sexy, nubile Terminator of love come and hunt. Me. Down. Like the dog I am.
But... pppfft. Making a math formula regarding True Love? What a loser.
That is actually true about anything in Real Life(TM). You can have a friend, that is a friend of your mother/potential employer/anyone, that has told about something embarrassing, and there goes all of your privacy.
Not quite. You see, my grandmother may tell her coffee club about some shenanigans and/or highjinks that I did whilst in college; that conversation, however, is not searchable by my new prospective employer, nor is it discoverable through the wayback machine.
Facebook is.
To help alert employees to the arrival of containers, the system has more than three dozen different combinations of chiming tones.

"Well, Theresa, aren't you going to get that?"
"Hell no! That's Marty from accounting! He's been trying to contact me ever since he thought I was coming on to him at the Christmas party. As if!"
"No, that's not Marty. Marty is bing bing bing bong and not bing bing bong bong. That's Bill in IT."
"Are you sure? I thought Bill's was bing bong bong bing."
"Nope. You might be confusing that with Jerry which is bong bing bong bingybong."
"Okay, but only if you're sure."
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one on/. that sees this InfraGard as a group of people who are, in effect, saying, "Yes! Please social engineer me! Here's how!"
Oh! Sorry! We can come back a little later if you're still... indisposed. We... uh... heard a strange buzzing noise and thought it might have been a transformer going out or something...
Yeah but, you might drop them on a peanut farm. Not good. We'll have to require all peanut farms to have a giant glass bubble over them in case of in-flight ejection.
Little known fact: D.B. Cooper was one such peanut allergy sufferer. After his theft of $200,000 from an American Airlines plane, he leaped out of the plane with his army surplus parachute and accidentally landed on a peanut farm. His allergic reaction was so severe, he imploded upon impact, taking nearly all of the money and the parachute with him.
If Google want's to use it's resources to try and tap some of the energy that is out there, and in a way that is good for our planet/society, I say game on.
Of course! If it's done in a way that is good for our planet/society, then we all say 'game on.' How many more times are we, as a society, going to be burned by some megacorp before we wake up and realize that businesses (and governments) *must* be run at least minimally ethically. All too often, "corporate personhood" is used as a shield to protect the mere acquisition of money as if that's the end-all-be-all of doing any sort of business with no repercussions. Regardless of the idea that a business' sole existence is to make money for shareholders or whatever, does in no way excuse the owners and operators of that business from acting ethically and morally.
All I can say, ultimately, is that if "it's too big to fail" then it's too big to stop as well.
I would prefer we outlaw testing on animals and legalize testing on prisoners. And yes, thank you, I have thought that through.
I just thought of a new possible sigline: "When animal testing is outlawed, only outlaws will be tested upon." (or something like that)
If that is not acceptable, then I'd prefer we simply outlaw testing on animals completely and live with the reduced science. And before you ask, yes, I do have a disease that would likely benefit from further research. Happy to suffer with it and eventually die from it if it'd stop animal testing.
Well, you are certainly free to not partake of the wonders of medical science in protest; I'm confident no one will stand in your way. However, I find it rather arrogant that you wish to elevate animals above everyone else who is suffering from your disease or other diseases and conditions that are equally, if not more so, painful and debilitating, just to soothe your conscience.
Just reminds me of all of those Americans out there who are willing to toss aside their hard-won freedoms and lobby and vote and cajole the government into tossing away my freedoms along with theirs.
I think Twitter is shaking up to be a very good source of news/information
The data, it seems, is quite frugal
When I type 'earthquake' into searchbar Google
The info, surprisingly, is much quicker and fitter
When I hear about it from that obnoxious source Twitter
Of course, only when anxious I'd do a desperate thing
And secretly type my query in Bing
Repeat this process a few billion times, and you'll be quite surprised at the amount of sheer useless crap that just keeps getting copied. Voila! 4Chan!
I have woken many times with the solution to a problem I had been trying to solve for days clear in my mind, that bubbled up from my subconscious while in delta (dream state.)
So now you're trying to tell us that you're a Delta operator? Psssshhh. You Keyboard Kommandos are all alike...

Yes! Naughty ones!

Prisoners are not [wholly innocent].

Ah. Now it makes sense...
I believe this is the only time that a heterosexual man like myself can safely say, "yes, I like Dick."
Hey, that's cool. I was just tweakin' your nose a little bit.
The simple mention of Enron on my resume sandbagged any interview I went on.
Are you sure it wasn't just because you were from Texas?
Someone needs to slip little boxes of Tic-Tacs in Microsoft's pockets.
I hear the Slovaks are pretty good at that sort of thing...
You know, Steve Jobs may not be the most likeable fellow around, but that hardly makes it okay to call him a 'tool.'
Maybe it was a tribute to Carl Sagan.

Cool, I think I understand. Thank you for the explanation!
I thought it was just to make sure they stay buried.
No, because deep down they're really good people.
(Sorry, just thought I'd keep to the theme of 'redundant.')
Yeah, I know now that I look back at it.
Do you know why they bury lawyers twelve feet under rather than six?
Because deep down, they're really good people.
Everyone knows that after the Earth is destroyed and humanity is wiped off the face of the planet, there will still be cockroaches and lawyers around.
Bailiff: All rise! Judge Periplaneta americana Linnaeus now presiding!
There are always cases wherein deniablility is essential and used. But, I will concede your point.
