    The aliens were all midget clones of Lady GaGa.

  2. Re:Fucking Bullshit on Twitter Tax Controversy Explained In Cartoon Form · · Score: 1

    Except the ones that take $1 in salary and the rest out in "benefits". They don't pay much of anything.

  3. Re:Republican Morality Police. on No U.S. Government Shutdown This Week · · Score: 2

    The government can't really be affording to hand out free optional medical procedures to anybody right now. Funding for this sort of thing (amongst a million other things they shouldn't be spending on) should have been cut ages ago. It's not a moral issue at all, it's just everyone failing to see the big picture of impending doom.

  4. Re:So what IS the new budget? on No U.S. Government Shutdown This Week · · Score: 1

    For the fiscal year of Oct 2010 - Sep 2011, the US government plans to spend Firstborn of Every Household out of an expected income of Peanuts.

    The difference is, your state still has a perfectly good government.

    I think we have a winner.

  7. Re:Well, you can't save 'em all on Scientists Create a "Worth Saving" Index For Endangered Animals · · Score: 1

    Compared to all the other bears out there, and especially our local black bears that are having no trouble adapting to civilization, it's hard not to.

  8. Re:Triage on Scientists Create a "Worth Saving" Index For Endangered Animals · · Score: 1

    Many of these bottom of the list creatures are merely subspecies who have no real distinction from the other members of their species except that they live in other places or they look slightly different. For some reason when humans find two endangered subspecies they believe it is better to keep them inbred and "diverse" than to allow them the strengths of a truly diverse genetic background.

  9. Re:Minecraft SUCKS! on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to mod you down, but the reason it is so popular is because it is a sandbox game, a genre that may be unfamiliar with if your first qualifier for a game is that it "looks good".

  10. Re:Minecraft SUCKS! on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    Just have to chip in and say that game was amazing. I used to spend hours flinging dynamite with the forklift at unsuspecting minifigures and building gigantic towers that made my CPU grind to a halt.

  11. Re:Obama Brought back Jobs and Growth on Obama Administration Wants Your Old Email · · Score: 1

    It's not dishonest. It's just gullible to expect a politician to keep his word in any way, shape, or form.

    He brought the diving economy jet to a level, but only by burning the last of the fuel. It's only a matter of time before you start losing airspeed and altitude again, headed for a real dirt poor depression.

    And according to the stories told by the tinfoil hat crew, nobody who graduated the year he did ever saw him on campus.

    Dude, we always need more big holes in the planet.

  16. Re:Humans do not exist in a void... on Do Violent Games Hinder Development of Empathy? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The thing is, when you actually go outside with your friends and play swordfight or war, you learn a degree of empathy that you don't get from video games since you won't have anyone left to play with if you insist on actually harming people. With video games, there's an entire internet full of strangers for you to remorselessly frag/spawncamp/teabag so there's no reason to learn how to actually socialize with them or even consider them to be human beings.

  17. Re:"No consequences for violence" on Do Violent Games Hinder Development of Empathy? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then I pray that you'll never have kids, and if you already have them, that they get away from you as soon as possible.

  18. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    Well, there's that bill that got passed a few months ago and cost every living American citizen $10,000 if not more. $10,000, each. I'm fairly sure it wasn't just Republicans voting in favour of that one.

    Does such a thing exist? Would it survive flying gravel and road salt? What about the entire months of ruthless cloud cover and the 16 hours of night in winter?

  22. Re:Can canada follow please??? on Europe Plans To Ban Petrol Cars From Cities By 2050 · · Score: 1

    ...Why? Canada is big and very sparsely populated outside of the civilization belt along the US border which isn't going to change any time soon. Electric vehicles aren't up to the distances you need to cover between towns in the north, and definitely don't have the capacity to handle the dirt roads or snow.

  24. Re:I had one of these when I was a kid! on Man Accused of Selling US Military Drones On EBay · · Score: 2

    I might point out that there are hobbyists who have spent more on their R/C aircraft than the military spent on this UAV. It's not too unreasonable to compare them.

  25. Re:It's not just about the sensor on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    I don't have a mouse that ranks above $20 worth, I don't even own a single FPS game, but your derision seems to be misplaced. Gun nuts modify guns. Offroad racing enthusiasts modify trucks. Paintball players modify markers. Why is it contemptible that FPS players would spend a little of their time customizing their equipment?
