If humans no longer wished to live, the food would have no value.
Meaning - humans desire food because it's required for their survival. If they suddenly stopped caring about life, they would not desire food and food would be worthless.
My brain is very scattered - five things going on at once constantly. This is why I drink a little bit when I really want to work on one of my creative projects (obviously, this method is frowned upon in the workplace, so your mileage may vary).
My room/office is night and day from the rest of my apartment - my office has papers everywhere. My apartment is clean as a whistle.
No one's going to be going into my room (I'm on Slashdot, I think that explains it all), but there will be guests in the rest of my apartment, and so I make sure to maintain cleanliness. "Productivity" is higher in the areas of more social importance - living room, kitchen - than areas where I'm using the space by myself.
How does YouTube hurt you by existing? Without it, the few gems we do have - Ask A Ninja, Mr. Deity, Lonelygirl15, LisaNova - would still be in obscurity. LisaNova got a gig on MadTV due to her popularity on YouTube.
As with any medium, you're wading through bullshit. How is it any different from TV? The good:bad ratio is pretty much the same.
It's the opposite of a run-on: a fragmented sentence.
A run-on is a complete sentence that has another sentence (or fragment) added without any punctuation separating the two.
A run-on: I love run-on sentences do you love run on sentences?
A fragment: Because I love fragments.
This opening sentence is just an incredibly long fragment.
Due to a freak hail storm February 26 that had golf-sized hail chunks raining down on the launchpad put several thousand dings in the foam covering the external fuel tank as well as damaging 28 tiles on Atlantis' wing.
Essentially, the dependent clause is "due to a freak hail storm" - cutting or adding the rest of the fragment does not change the grammar. It could be "Due to a freak hail storm, I stubbed my toe," or it could be "Due to a freak hail storm... [everything] wing, I stubbed my toe," and grammatically, they are sound and structurally the same.
Not to mention: How does a paper - its own privately-owned entity - deny a person the right to write just by figuring out who the writer is?
They were doing an expose - newspapers do this all the time. It just seems that because the person in question does something that perhaps you do as well, suddenly it's wrong.
Not to mention - this ain't the Revolution Era. Information flows a thousand different ways and exponentially faster. A person doesn't need to send their message out via courier, requiring the aid of others who may "vouch" for that person's content. Instead, a lone person can write their message and put it up all by themselves, without even so much as a credit card number.
Hell, I could do it right now, just start posting half-truths and spin to build myself a readership. It's just that Dvorak's already got that cornered.
My point was that as far as Joss was concerned, judging by the way he presents it - Phoenix coming back really should be common knowledge. It's going to happen. Maybe he won't do it, but he knows it'll happen, we know it'll happen, and no one should've been surprised the first time, or any other subsequent time.
That's what two years basic general education is for.
But once I'm done with that, instead of just being able to work on my major, I'm distracted by having to take "liberal arts and sciences," which, strangely enough, only accept general education classes!
When I'm done with my general ed, I want to work on what I came to college for. As a media production major, my work doesn't end at the end of class time. I come on to campus an hour before my class and I leave three hours after it ends because it's project-based, and we broadcast them on our local Comcast station, or our local radio station (I'm doing both TV and radio, this semester).
So tell me, after I've paid my dues for two fucking years, staving off my major classes so I can only focus on "broadening my horizons," (which, aside from Introduction to Human Sexuality, is a fucking crock) - why should I have to deal with Fundamentals of Public Speaking (when I've already aced a similar class for a requirement)?
There's learning about the world around you, and then there's throwing an anchor around your neck.
Take for example - the joke about Haji getting stopped at the airport were you to play a Johnny Quest game. Public perception is that he is a suspicious character in an airport when factoring in his race. White folk are generally allowed to pass through unmolested, unless they piss someone off.
Other non-racial perceptions can be brought about: misspelling of words, using the wrong word (things you learn in early elementary school) in basic grammar brings about a perception of lower intelligence.
Sure, he's a grammar nazi and had a tone of jackassery, but he's got a point.
You're also ignoring the question: when you are given the option of race, what do you choose? Chances are you'll choose someone who matches your race and culture. In Oblivion, I did just that, creating a Nord and even going so far as picking the blue eyes with a little bit of darkness around the lids because that's how I look (and exaggerated a bit, probably, to mirror my self-image).
I knew nothing about a Nord's stats and what would help me further down the line; I just picked generally the race that fits my own personal culture. Does that make me a racist? No. One should not have to shun their own race and culture in the interests of not being biased. Everyone's biased in favor of their culture (generally speaking). I should be allowed to speak highly of my very pasty-white culture without being deemed KKK, and shouldn't be lined up and "shot" because whenever I hop in a game that allows me to make that choice, I choose to mirror my own race and culture, if not a close facsimile to me altogether.
Because a Democrat's never stolen an election. Or cheated on their wife. Or lied about it when sworn under oath to speak the truth. Or attacked a non-hostile country.
Extract head from ass. There's only one political party in this country and they all do the same shit. Occasionally one party's just better at cheating than the other.
And this is where I find a light at the end of the tunnel with YouTube.
If the big companies get their share of revenue (and as it seems like we're moving more toward uploaders also getting a piece), we can keep along with the chaotic freedom that YT is so well known for.
Most of it's crap, but the diamonds in the rough are priceless.

Whom, if given the chance, never would have utilized the Internet, right?

The name was Phoenix. Hello? Anyone read books anymore?
I mean, Joss Whedon hits it on the head:
"But Jean's dead."
"Yeah, like that'll last."
Oh, that Jonas. So dreamy.

Don't worry. Google is going to buy Joost and then Viacom will really be fucked.
Wrong. Nice cops turn ruthless because they maintain the instinct of self-preservation.

This cop and his wife seem to be doing fine.
Just where did you get that data? Numbers I'm looking at here say exactly the opposite.
You've never studied law, have you?

C'mon, dude. Explain.
Which has fewer calories but wreaks far more havoc on your GI tract.

Bullshit! He became a terrorist!
