Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    Urgh. Skyfalls script feels so out of place. Like, it's thematic points would have been ridiculous pre-Iraq, and post-Iraq they're even moreso.

    People running about talking about how we don't need human-intelligence anymore stands out like a sore thumb.

    Note that I say this without relying on the authenticity fallacy (i.e. that "authentic" food is necessarily better than Americanized versions of the same food): Mexican is better than Tex-Mex. Straight-up.

    We finally enforced a unified email signature and stationery on our Exchange.

    Naturally, the lady who had pink comic sans on a blue background is bitching to high heaven that she "has to have it that way" because it's "hard to read" otherwise.

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    Why do so many vloggers not edit their videos? Like, something will happen - maybe their phone rings - and the video keeps going as they deal with that. Just edit your video.

    Looks like I might be getting that 30k house and fixing the shit out of it. Gonna make it art.

    I'm thinking about picking up a pretty cheap place as well, do some work on it. It's absolutely insane how high rents still are with how absurdly cheap houses are. I could do 15 years fixed and have the mortgage on a small 2/2 be half of the rent on a similarly sized apartment, hell, just a bit more than half of what a studio runs around here, although they're uncommon. Property taxes aren't that bad either, although homeowners insurance rates suck.

    It's crazy because the house is probably worth 160,000. Needs about 30-40k worth the work. If that. Needs new doors, new windows, possibly insulation and a remodeled bathroom and new floors.

    I could probably yank out the carpets and fix the doors in a week.

    Still need to petition my trustee to write a letter of approval for a home loan. Though I don't see why someone wouldn't loan me that money, I mean I've been employed at the same place for almost a decade, make more than enough to cover it, and would be saving $400 a month just in raw rent costs (including the property tax). Plus the 30K covers the repairs so it's unlikely something glaring would happen in the future.

    Yup. Also we have a super duper bus system that i actually like better than the L (although the L is usually faster for getting downtown, depending on where you are)

    Probably because most of the people who talk about it are Texan, and believe that everything from Texas is better.

    Ask them about Texas history if you want to hear them be wrong about other things, too.
