To put it in RPG terms, you are an INT hero who graduated from the top of their class. You know all the spells. But guess what, this is a STR and AGI challenge and you need to work on your charisma to rope in some help. No one is taking your INT skills away from you.
One sign you've been away from D&D too long...you see the acronym RPG on slashdot and can't figure out why a rocket-propelled grenade has INT, STR and AGI.
I am not in the US, why do you assume that, I said I was an Argentinian... isn't it logical to assume I live in... let's say, Argentina?
And, since you were wondering, I have sex every day, thank you very much.
100% of the Argentinians I know live in the US. Same for 100% of the Brazilians, 100% of the Chileans, and 100% of the Peruvians I know. Granted there's some selection bias and my sample is small...
as opposed to the "other side" who stand to lose a lot of financial backing/future profits/political power if global warming is shown to be a hoax... follow the money on BOTH sides of the argument... you might learn something
Yes, because the climate science industry is way bigger than the oil and coal industries combined.
And you can take your Godwin and stuff it. Godwin's Law is invoked when someone brings Hitler or the Holocaust into the conversation where they don't belong.
When I was a kid I performed knife-based experiments on my fingers. Yeah, I got cut, but I determined that striking human flesh with a serrated knife does slightly less damage than sawing back and forth with the same knife. You're not a real nerd if you're not willing to make bodily sacrifices for the sake of science from time to time.
How about I bitch about people who crassly, obnoxiously and egregiously use adjectives as verbs? You could at least do us the courtesy of adding a clumsy ending, like -ize.
XKCD can be funny a lot of times, but I also find it frequently unbearably smug. Not old school nerd, more like the newer trendy hipster nerd thing that cropped up in the past few years.
See, that's the shit you get when nerds start getting laid.
Again fucking statistics used as proof. No knowledge of how chemicals interact within the body, how and why the reactions that cause cancer occur, no fucking nothing. Just the damn statistics.
Why do you need to know how chemicals interact in order to know that it empirically works?
If we can measure the circles the planets move in well enough to figure the Sun and not the Earth is at the center, do we need to wait around 2 more centuries for the theory of gravity before we agree on heliocentrism?
I'm trying to figure out if "Provenge" is the most awesome or terrifying name for a drug I've ever heard. Also from the wikipedia page it "consists of a mixture of the patient's own blood cells" and their special "fusion protein".
I'm going with terrifyingly awesome!
I just hope the commercials feature Chuck Norris.
For those with naturally low levels of "fusion protein", they also feature a version made with Stephen Colbert's Formula 401 Premium Man Seed, from Prescott Pharmaceuticals. Side effects include horny blood, elephant lung, and crystal methods.
I other OLD news, men who ejaculate 5 times per week had a 66% less chance of prostate cancer EVER in their life than men who only did once or less per week.
5 times a week?!?
How am I ever going to keep count, let alone get the number down to 5?
Hey, for all you know, each additional 5 times might reduce your risk by another 66%. The reference category was 0-1 ejaculations per week. So go nuts!

And, for fucks sake, let go that stupid stapler.
But it's a red Swingline. They don't even make those!

This needs to be re-written in haiku form.
So, your advice is to be a quiet, passive-aggressive loner that keeps themselves apart from the group?
In other words, to be a Slashdotter. You are aware this is Slashdot, right?
That certainly would be a white whale, to be sure!
Not to mention an albatross!
Nintendo says when its new handheld game device with 3-D technology comes out
Nobody told me they were remaking Virtual Boy!
It might, if it manages to go 1,000,000 or so seasons without getting cancelled.
What does it mean to be a "climate denier"? No one denies there is "climate".
*I* deny that there is such a thing as "climate"!

I invoke Godwin's law!
I wonder why Super Faith is targeting adult diapers specifically.
Maybe they're the only one who have that level of Faith? (and TFA thought it was a mis-translation...)
...a Beowulf cluster of these?

Wasn't my intention. I just use the qualifier to make it apropos of the discussion at hand.
You're right though.
Well, when we were the only country on Earth with a binding written constitution
Let me guess - you are posting from a parallel universe, right?
Oh, snap! Forgive me for forgetting San Marino and the Zaporozhian-Ukrainian Republic.
I'd rather a wide-range, rational panel try to offer their opinions rather than open up a massive internet vote.
What the hell does rationality have to do with opinions on pop culture?
Why are you bitching about people who bitch?

jenny mccarthy told me vaccines give me prostate cancer
no thanks, i'll pass. i get my health advice from mtv hosts
Good plan. You might catch The Autism, too.
There was never a time in written history when we all died at 40 or so. The average lifespan figure was strongly skewed by a high infant mortality.
Also, tigers.

Only on Uranus (or prostate)...
Professor Farnsworth: That planet was renamed in the 24th Century to put an end to that joke once and for all.
Fry: What did they call it?
Professor Farnsworth: Urectum!
