  1. Re:Stress? on 3 Drinks a Day Keeps the Doctor Away · · Score: 0

    We're not necessarily talking about facts here. Christians are predisposed to believe someone is watching them and killing kittens every time they touch themselves. Thats not a fact. Its just that people are impressionable and when the outcome is scary, they tend to take notice.

    You ruined my possible sarcastic reply to Dances With Dragons. I hate you now.

    Well thats obvious, but I was just saying, in general, anything you're likely to get from your local walmart beer section isn't going to taste fantastic.

    And negative predisposition to alcohol could be 1 of a million things. Anyone who has tried nearly any alcohol should know that it tastes like shit. Anyone who has ever watched tv has probably seen a commercial telling you alcohol can kill you (though, I'd guess you would probably see more commercials on tv telling you alcohol will get you sexy chicks and everyone will like you (just bring a 6 pack of bud light)). Anyways, this all circles around and brings me back to the point that you don't have to be anal retentive or a douchebag who thinks he knows everything, to not drink alcohol.

    The first two words of the slashdot post are HEAVY DRINKERS. Is two fucking beers really heavy drinking? Christ, a fifth of cheap vodka isn't really heavy drinking. Please go dance with the dragons elsewhere.

    Why is it that you have to be uptight or judgmental to not drink? How about having less stress in your life that you don't need a beer to relax? Perhaps you can find some other way to 'have fun', that doesn't involve memory lapses or impaired motor functions. Myself, I can say that I've never had a 'eureka' moment while drunk. I've never looked back on the night before and gone, "Man, that fifth of vodka was awesome! Lets do it again!".

    The text of their lawsuit isn't available. Does that mean its not publicly available? How do we hear about a lawsuit, and not have any wording on the lawsuit?

  18. Crayola on Ancient Cave Art May Depict Giant Bird Extinct For 40,000 Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    I like how they claim they can use the crayon scribbles to tell the difference between an emu and this Genyomis.

    From TFA:

    "Initially, we thought it was another big emu," said consulting archaeologist Ben Gunn, a founding member of the Australian Rock Art Research Association who was documenting the Niwarla Gabarnmung site for the Jawoyn Association.

    But then we figured, nah, its probably this big giant extinct bird instead...

  19. Re:Oh god.. on Students Show a Dramatic Drop In Empathy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Personally I think people are just as self centered now as always and we've just gotten better (supposedly) at measuring it.

    We've gotten better at tallying these 2 numbers?

    1) are you empathetic
    2) are you _NOT_ empathetic

    I'm glad your post makes sense. Thanks!

    Right, which would make you wonder why the article poster asked the question "Where were you when PLATO was born?". The error obviously isn't mine.

    Man, the trolls are plentiful here.

  22. Um... on Where Were You When PLATO Was Born? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Where were you when PLATO _WAS BORN_?

    Then I read that PLATO was born 50 years ago.

    Then I read that someone put together a list of what people were doing in 1973.

    So, I'm to understand that 2010 - 1973 = 50.

  23. Re:In My City on Revenge of the Cable Customer · · Score: 1

    What I mean, asshat, is that they're not even needed. I know how to screw on a cable to the modem. I know how to dial a phone number, and ask the same exact Indian lady with the horrible accent to please type in my modems mac address and hit a button on a form.

  24. In My City on Revenge of the Cable Customer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know where I live, Charter has a monopoly on cable. There isn't much you can do about it; They've got the fastest internet. They charge you 50 dollars cash on the spot to hook up a modem and provision it for you. Hard stuff. The service techs they send to your house are dumb as hell too. They couldn't figure out the crappy interface that their newfangled modem / wifi router had installed on it. I laughed quite a bit after they couldn't figure out how to enable WPA2. Although, in their defense, the admin panel was designed by someone who didn't know what they were doing. So, basically, there is a lot they can improve on.
