    12 "easy" resolutions for '12

    Except the part where I don't remember saying it was new or asking about its writing style; I remember asking how many of these things people would try. If you have no intention of trying any of them and seeing how they affect your mood, why post at all? As for the spirituality dimension, I...

    12 "easy" resolutions for '12

    If you mean "do I expect people to actually talk and have rational discussions about something (including specifics about what they don't like) instead of just trolling," then yes, I do.

    12 "easy" resolutions for '12

    I'm not, but thanks for the longshot assumption. It's not meant to be "exciting"; quite the opposite. It's meant to encourage people to become calmer, more peaceful, happier. It's meant to encourage self-reflection. Out of curiosity, is there anyone here who isn't some shallow troll and...

    12 "easy" resolutions for '12

    It's impossible to determine whether something is "a load of shite" if you only read the first few sentences. That contradiction. The title puns in each section notwithstanding, I don't read it as comedy. I read it as a multilayered effort to achieve a higher degree of inner tranquility...

    NDAA Signed - US seems destined for some fun

    This is actually part of the controversy: whether or not any such checks exist. In this bill, the checks are all predicated on checks that already exist in previous bills. The issue is whether or not this bill can be construed to keep people under indefinite detention without trial and, if not...

    Very well, then. Do, pray tell, clarify which part of the article draws you to that conclusion. Specifics, please. And if you are going to present unsourced statements, it'd be good to use rational thoughts, not puerile name-calling, trolling, and overly shallow preconceptions.

    How many of these can (will?) you say yes to? And just how easy are they, really? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2012/01/04/notes010412.DTL

    Hadn't they already done all of that with Tidus?

    Insects becoming resistant to genetically modified corn

    Amen. I'm still trying to fully comprehend how that cable I read on Wikileaks about them a year ago didn't cause an international diplomatic crisis. As for the issue at hand, I maintain that microevolution of this sort is one of the primary reasons not to rely too heavily on one good, idea...

    Hybrid Shark Discovered

    Imma let you finish, but C. Megalodon was the coolest shark. OF ALL TIME. Anyway, I was under the impression that cross-species breeding had already been accomplished through the Liger and Tigon, notwithstanding their infertility.

    [V2] Last Movie You've Seen

    The last movie I watched in a theater was Harold & Kumar's 3D Christmas. As usual, the 3D was gimmicky, but the movie itself was the funniest Christmas movie I've seen. It even has a surprising amount of sardonic/witty social commentary. The last movie I watched at home was Trans-Siberian...

    [V5] What are you currently listening to?

    Mogwai - Tracy Just found out about this group recently while re-reading the Questionable Content archives. It saddens me that I didn't know about post-rock when it came out. Apparently, while it sounds like a sad or romantic soundscape, it was actually composed as backdrop for two prank calls...

    What are you currently reading?

    Let me know how Emma is when you finish it. I'm seriously in love with Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility, P&P being probably my 2nd favorite book I've ever finished. It also has my favorite TV adaptation of a novel and S&S is in my top 5 movies.

    What would you do if the character above you loves you?

    Manipulate him into believing I was gay, then when he wasn't looking, steal his megaphone. Then use the big fluffy thing as a new pillow. Ellone.

    FFIX: Love it or Hate it?

    I cannot say love or hate in particular. It will never be my favorite FF game, as it's too jack-of-all-trades ish to me. Good music, good movie scenes, good gameplay, good story, good relationships between the characters, but in all of those areas, there are at least two FF games that are...

    What are you currently reading?

    I am currently reading: How I Became Stupid, by Martin Page; Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut. Both hysterical, intelligent books. Also The Talisman, by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I am currently "attempting" to read: Ulysses, by James Joyce. I may soon begin: 11/22/63, by Stephen King.

    Indifferent towards sports

    I feel sports are heavily overemphasized and some people are far too into them, and I generally don't like to watch them on a regular basis (although I did enjoy watching the WWF from about 1997-1999, when I was in early high school). With that said, I don't really see the reason to make a...

    What's your favourite band?

    My longtime favorite "band" (by current definition of band) has to be Dream Theater. Runners-up would include: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Porcupine Tree, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Avantasia/Edguy, Angra, ELO, Blackmore's Night, and Avenged Sevenfold (later half). Bands I discovered recently that...
