I'm most likely not doing a video game post this week, unless I think of something while I'm at work. I've been known (well, known by myself, anyway) to plan out posts pretty much word for word while working, although of course they don't come out exactly the same when I actually write them. The Mushroom Guru posts were fun, but I've largely run ( Read more... )

I realize that I'm not exactly saying anything you don't already know here, but I think it's interesting how straight girls are often willing to admit their attraction to other girls, while that's generally not true for straight guys. Part of it is because our society teaches both genders that women are more aesthetically appealing. That hasn't ( Read more... )

1. I don't read the Huffington Post very often, but I find that I usually agree with their politics. On the other hand, I'm not so keen on their promotion of so-called "alternative medicine." Apparently, their "wellness editor" is called "Dr." despite not having a medical degree. If you thought accepting things with no evidence was the exclusive ( Read more... )

Okay, I think I've had enough of the media covering the reactions of the old ladies who gasp, "Well, I never!" while their monocles fall into their tea. Obviously I'm stereotyping, but I hope you know what I mean. The news will tell us some anecdote that there's really no reason for most of us to care one way or the other about, like Adam Lambert ( Read more... )

Well, it's Veterans' Day again today. Not that I ever do anything for it, but hey, it's important to honor veterans. They did a dangerous job that the rest of us don't want to do, after all. Sure, you hear the stories about bad apples like the torturers at Abu Ghraib, but I'm willing to accept that they're in the minority. And could behavior ( Read more... )

One phrase I've gotten sick of hearing recently is, "There's an app for that." But that's not what this post is about. Instead, it's about another phrase I've gotten tired of hearing, which is, "The market will regulate itself." Haven't we seen enough evidence that this isn't the case? I don't believe it any more than I believe that God will ( Read more... )

I voted yesterday, but I guess it didn't do much good, as Chris Christie won the gubernatorial race. I'll admit I didn't do a whole lot of research going into this election, but looking at his positions on issues doesn't exactly fill me with hope. He's opposed to gay marriage, in favor of destroying the wetlands, and apparently favors parents in ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think Facebook makes it way too easy to make quizzes, what with all of the questions like this ( Read more... )
