    Does the TLC still call itself the learning channel or is TLC just supposed to be an acronym that no longer means anything like SATs?

    The second.

    They ditched their last vestiges of educational programming over a decade ago.

    And to think TLC used to show shit like Beakman's World.

    Why does it seem like the people who want to talk politics the most are those with the worst ideas?

    Alternately, people who say they want to talk politics with you in person actually just want a captive audience to legitimize their bad ideas by letting them be heard aloud.


    Also, is it me or do all political diatribes begin with some variation on the phrase, "God, this country's going to hell, ain't it?"

    No one ever opens with, "Gee, they just passed a bill that funded education for schoolchildren! Isn't our country awesome?"

    You know that feeling with you taste something that isn't what you thought it was, even though what it actually is doesn't taste bad?

    Like, say, biting into mashed potatoes to find out it's actually ice cream.

    They start off with how it's broken so that they can explain how they're the one who knows how to fix it. A lot of people think they're "The One", or that they oughta be.

    because talking politics is a bad idea

    but it shouldn't be, right?

    it's bad because people don't really want to talk, they want to make asinine comments and seek validation

    I think that's true of anyone who wants to bring it up out of the blue. Because why would you do that except to express an opinion really forcefully and to everyone, which seems to have an almost complete overlap with stupid opinions.

    Do whatever fits

    I think most writers don't make magic weird enough

    They tend to basically write it as a scientific pursuit - there are elements, runes, words of power, and doing certain things with them has predictable results and a cost/benefit aspect that can be reliably weighed. It feels like there should be more to it than that, or it should be unpredictably risky, in a flying kites in a thunderstorm kind of way.

    Don't write it like it's an RPG system

    ugh I really wish From Software's games relied less on memorizing level layouts and enemy placement and more on mechanics

    they have a solid experience for fighting enemies, but this "lol there's an enemy that will drop behind you when you walk in this room" shit is annoying

    also jumping segments and narrow pathway segments in the DS2 DLC: fuck off, controlling your dude's footsteps precisely is annoying and jumping can fuck right off (you have to hold B and run forward and PRESS DOWN on the analog stick to jump, it's janky as fuck)

    The Shadow of Mordor game is really fun, but gets repetitive .

    Civ BE probably has more longevity, but I'm currently enjoying it less than Civ 5

    Yeah. Sure, you get a bunch of new moves... but you're still doing what you did in the first fifteen minutes of the game for the whole game.

    Guys sincerely the most bizarre thing happened.

    I got a gift card from comcast the other day for $25. I'll use this to buy Ultra Street Fighter IV I said. I got home from work that night (I called the number and activated it that day) and it was GONE. I turned my apartment over twice. I cleaned off my coffee table, moved everything around, searched under the couch and in between cushions and in all my pockets in my pants, coats and sweatshirts. I looked in my kitchen and my bathroom, I looked in my strong box.

    Two days later I bit the bullet and just bought Ultra anyways for something to do this weekend. I walked to my kitchen to put my dinner plate in the sink, and when I walked back over a saw sitting there in plain view on my coffee table that FUCKING gift card. It wasn't under anything. It wasn't obscured. The bright white activation sticker was still on it, making it impossible to miss.

    What.

    I have no idea where my fucking car keys are and have been using my backup set for like a week now

    I came home from dinner Friday night and definitely had my glasses when I got into my room
    I remember taking them off to take off my makeup

    Woke up the next morning and they were gone?
    Roommate and I cleaned the whole room and have not found them
