    Boomers might make fun of their parents for depression-era shenanigans like washing plastic forks or re-using paper towels, but they're just as bad.

    Just look at how they react to internet porn.

    by signing up for malware infested pay-sites?

    :lol:

    This is an amusing side-effect of their porn browsing habits and inability to use a computer.

    But no, I am referring to the way they feel the need to see all of it and stockpile. And how they have absolutely no taste for it. They just look at EVERYTHING. Fetish, amateur, pro, old, young... any thing.

    I have an innate distrust of teetotalers.

    Unless they're recovering alcoholics. But I think that's a contradiction.

    this is something that bothers me. I choose to not drink much, if at all. I have always been responsible with alcohol the few times I have had it, and I made the decision that it is not for me, the risks do not outweigh the gains enough for me to make drinking a serious part of my life.

    Yet, people judge me for this! Then those same people will turn around and congratulate a recovering alcoholic for staying sober. Yes, it is good he/she is sober, but stop judging me just because I never let my life get bad enough where I needed an intervention to stop alcohol abuse.

    goodness. yes, sorry, just needed a bit of a rant.

    Is there anyway to avoid this? I thought I heard someone say there was a no death path.
    Yes, there is one. Some of it is based on doing loyalty missions, the rest on picking the right people for the right jobs.
    All my peeps be loyal and I have all the combat related ship upgrades. Why isn't the super advanced robot the right person for the hacking job? :P
    Did you go to the last ship like RIGHT AFTER you got attacked or did you wait around and do some other stuff?

    That makes a difference too
    I had already done everything there is to do except for like random exploration missions. So I went straight there. It's odd though because Miranda comments that Samara is a really good choice for fireteam leader. I will replay that section with Miranda as the leader and see what happens.

    Is teetotaler an uncommon word?

    It's slightly archaic but I hear it quite a bit.

    Are there other words for it in English? Only one I learned. :P

    Wikipedia says teetotalers are basically just Straight-Edge, right?

    There are connotative differences.

    People rarely refer to themselves as "teetotalers" any more. They just say "I don't drink."

    The difference between saying "I don't do [X]" and coming up with a label and identity that means "I don't do [X]" is huge.

    Straight-edge is an identity and subculture.

    I'd probably be against AA, but my dad, by all accounts, was an absolutely VICIOUS alcoholic, and he's been sober and more-or-less mentally healthy for my whole life. So it gets a pass in my book.

    Why would one be against support groups?

    AA doesn't have success rate any better than going cold turkey and was invented as a tool for recruiting vulnerable addicts into Christianity.

    Basically this. On top of that, I strongly feel that the AA method is one of addiction replacement, not addiction recovery, where the new object of addiction is AA itself.

    Cadbury is the best term for teetotalers.

    They are not synonyms.

    A Cabury is someone who is drunk after a glass and a half of beer.

    Teetotalers may indeed have a low alcohol tolerance but it's not the thrust of the term.

    Yep. They claim otherwise but I've sat in on meetings. It's pretty good at taking people at their most wretched and vulnerable and turning them to religion. It's not ALWAYS Christianity. Depends on who is running it. I wouldn't mind it as much if it wasn't often legally required for alcoholics who have committed related crimes.

    i regard vegetarians with kind of a generalized cultural suspicion and i don't generally like to dine with them. I guess i give them a pass if they have some sort of exotic religious requirement. it's inconvenient, sometimes embarrassing, and it carries the patchouli stench of west-coast hippie cultural sensibilities.

    the reason i don't like to hang out with teetotalers is that the social dynamics between the drunk and not-drunk are not fun. i don't like being around drunk people if i'm sober and i don't like being around sober people if i'm drunk. teetotalers are always sober and therefore never fun to do thing with that involve drinking (which, i won't lie, is a whole lot of my world of social activities)

    That is interesting and conflicting to me. I'm all about support, but yeah, if it's replacing one addiction with another, that's something else entirely. Though one has to wonder if the dangers of the one addiction outweigh the other. Hmm...thanks for making me think, today, [chat]

    is this wrong?

    i mean he is like 16 or whatever but dammit son these words are not difficult to spell!

    i mean misspelling for humor's sake is one thing (poast, cheezburger, etc) but "career" "totally" and "supposed" are not difficult words to spell

    I've got three nonfiction books I need to get through, and then I'll be moving on to fiction. Probably Cloud Atlas, Blood Meridian, and Pale Fire in that order.

    Depending on how I feel after Pale Fire, I might read Infinite Jest.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    the wii is pretty much a shittied up gamecube.

    yeah i hate it. it's basically a gamecube with the gimmick that the controls suck and the other gimmick that 95% of the games are crappy shovelware.

    it's frankie's though, so i can't pawn it or give it away

    it pains me to think about it because it means that Defender (of SE++) was right all along.

    Like No More Heroes is supposed to be an awesome game on the Wii but it looks like garbage and the controls are equivalently shitty.

    When I first got the system I thought it had a lot of potential, i mean it was the only current generation (console) i'd used first hand at that point.

    I think the gamecube is the only semi-recent nintendo console that i have not been rabidly disappointed by.
