  1. Re:Dementation of already odd tales on Alice Movie Off The Ground · · Score: 1

    I thought that Cinderella was a French story, but I'm not sure.

    Anyway, I heard that in the original story, the shoe was made out of fur and not glass. And there was an expression called "putting the foot in the fur shoe" which was a euphemism for sex.

    I guess the prince slept with a lot of women in order to find the "shoe" that fit.

    Not if it's a private university. Then you're just screwing the students out of their tuitions.

    Of course, most private universities are for the rich, so fuck them anyway.

    They've indirectly made jokes about Bush lots of times (or at least his policies).

    For instance, the episode where Milhouse and Bart join warring youth clubs (Calvary Scouts vs. Indian Braves, or something), Bart says something about violence solving nothing except all of America's problems. That seemed directed at Bush (at least, to me it did).

    I think feminists are somehow responsible for this. After all, feminists also support beauty pageants for obese women (and I'm talking hyper-obese).

    Oh, good god, a school?! That's an environment where the kids seem to take delight in not caring for school property.

    There are probably kids who are typing on the keyboards with their filthy, Cheeto-stained fingers. And that's assuming they aren't already wiping cottage cheese on the chairs for other unsuspecting kids to sit on.

    Really, they are all disgusting.

    Personally I think feminism was an old Soviet plot that took on a life of its own when the Useful Idiots got tenure, but I'm cynical like that.


    I hear that modern feminism is the result of former Women's Ku Klux Klan members adopting Marxist and Stalinist beliefs.

    Quite a pairing, if it's true.

    Those guys are sociopaths. They have the ability to fake empathy, and use it for manipulative purposes. They often become politicians.

    I took a philosophy course called "Practical Reasoning" that was about critical thinking.

    It was fucking fantastic.

    It taught me about how science is important and its role in our society. It taught me how to examine a claim and determine whether it is true or not. It taught me about ethics and how to determine if an action is right or wrong.

    It basically taught me how to make the right decisions.

    I once trapped a box and let a thief snoop it. The thing was, I wasn't sure if the box would kill me because it was in my inventory or it would kill the thief because he opened it.

    I thought that combination of UO and the Sims could feature perma-death. Since a player would control multiple characters, the loss of one isn't a huge deal.

    There still is the problem of what will happen when all of the characters die, though.

  17. Re:Interesting Concept on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Back in my day, my mother kicked us kids out of the house to get some "god damned peace and quite".

    So, the trick is for parents to have more than one child. Said children will fight over limited resources (television, Nintendo, Legos, etc.). At which point one or both parents will become pissed off. The children will then be kicked out of the house and left to their own devices. (In our case, it was playing baseball except with apples from a nearby tree. It was messy.)

    Guns are a security blanket for the brainwashed masses.


    I'd argue that gun control is a security blanket. There's a belief that says that removing guns from law abiding citizens will somehow get the guns out of criminals' hands. Criminals can make the guns themselves or smuggle them from other countries. And there's always the use of other deadly weapons: knives, clubs, bombs, brass knuckles, etc.

    Guns don't have media support (at least not much). CNN is much more likely to support gun control and not gun ownership. I think the reasoning goes along: guns can harm people, so guns are bad, therefore we must get rid of guns. But guns have a very good use as self-defense tools. And they are very good tools. The user does not have to be bigger, stronger, or faster than a criminal; he only needs to be well-trained in using his gun.

    What's the difference between reserved and pre-reserved?


    Why there's only one thing it could possibly mean: you are reserving a reservation.

    That way, when you show up on launch day, the store employees can all laugh at you because all you got was a reservation and not a PSP.

    I had a Lynx. In order to save on batteries, I had an AC adapter. Unfortunately, it was one of those third-party, universal power adapters, so I believe it may have fried my Lynx.

    I later got the advanced version of the Lynx. Unfortunately, I used the same power adapter again. Another Lynx was now broke.

    Let this be a lesson to all of you. Be careful what you plug into your electronics.

    Writing the notes on the board is good in that it requires me (the student) to write it down in my notebook. I believe this helps me with my memorization of the material.

    Teachers who use PowerPoint slides usually go too fast to write down the notes, so I'm likely to start ignoring them.

    I guess I'm in the mode that if a teacher writes something on the board, then it must be important.

    Chances are that you won't even have to plant porn. They probably already have something filthy/incriminating on their computer, so just make the anonymous tip. Something ought to turn up.

    Can't he claim that he put the code in the public domain? Technically, he didn't, but he could at least claim he did.

    I believe once something is in the public domain, it can't be removed from people with grabby fingers.

    Or maybe he could get part of the contract voided. That's probably his best hope.
