Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
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!

Yo! MTV [chat]s!

    Why am I more likely to give money to a person out of gas at a gas station than a homeless dude with a sign. Guh, I suck.

    Don't do either--give to charities that you select beforehand, like Oxfam.

    I must be the easiest person to guilt in the world. Also, what is it with philosophy grad students and oxfam? They are the only people I ever hear talk about it.

    It's probably because Peter Singer said it's where he gives (although I've only heard that second hand, but it was from my friend who did her honors in ethics and society so I trust her).

    Man, I'm attracted to this girl in my Spanish class and she seems to like me too, but we just don't have a strong rapport.

    what do you mean?

    build a rapport

    We've been seeing each other twice a week since the semester started, and we walk to the bus together. Plus, it's Spanish, so we have plenty of chances to talk to each other during class.

    Is it unreasonable to think that, if we were especially compatible, that wold be apparent by now?

    Maybe you should work on your Spanish : (

    But my ability to speak to ladies requires more work!

    Estas muy caliente. Quieres ir a un restaurante conmigo?

    what!? no, you cannot fuck my uncle's goat

    Basketball players are amongst the least awful recipients.

    Rumsfeld is deeply wrong, but at least it's not a category error. Giving Rumsfeld a civic honor is like saying 2 + 2 = 5, but giving a basketball player a civic honor is like saying 2 + 2 = balloon.

    One time I was in a shady part of LA at night with a friend and this dude ran at our car with a gas can. We were terrified and rolled up our windows and locked our doors.

    Dude was just out of gas.

    I felt bad.

    Needless to say we dumped the body in a swamp.

    WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?!

    New rule: If you're famous, you don't qualify for civic awards. Let's give them to people who do things out of the goodness of thier heart instead of the opportunity for an easy photo op.

    I got ambushed by a dude outside of Trader Joe's one day and after the whirlwind of five minutes I was somehow giving $20 a month to Oxfam.

    Dude was like "Hey man, we'll ask you to start out with our basic pledge, which is $60 a month."

    I was like HEY, I have to eat too.

    I just doubled my pledge this month--it's just over 10% of my income now. We'll see how that works out on the "feeding myself" front.

    I think summer work will keep me doing okay.

    They're forum games. Typically Phallas, but we've had Diplomacy which was popular too, and a few other games. Check the link in my sig for details. If you want to host something, you're pretty much at the head of the queue now :P
