    There's a youtube vid of a guy playing the cover of the theme to Game of Thrones. Reminds me of how amazing the opening titles are to that show.

    Ahh, here it is:

    There is a non-zero part of me which is scared that this will be taken seriously.

    Heh, what's there not to love about Buffy, it's not like other shows where someone pro at medicine or research or an anthropologist or forensic scientist gets the show ruined for them. . . no one is pro at demon and vampire hunting.

    Since those cartoons are made to edumacate children without 'liberal bias' or 'gratuitious USA bashing', so that grow up to be True Patriots of Real America, I'm pretty sure a nonzero amount of people are taking them seriously.

    I want to write a great novel which is an amazing metaphor for Humanity's political shortcomings.

    I also want a jetpack.

    Just had a nice long chat with my brother. He's sending me a link so I can see the film he's just made, which should be nice.

    I doubt anyone will care about this, but TVTropes is considering excising Troper Tales from itself. Interesting.

    Didn't they already excise Troper Tales from their main pages?

    Sounds like they are being taken over by editors who want to organize and otherwise professionalize it, for a given value of 'professionalize'...

    It's actually pretty great. They taught me that Hitler wasn't that different from Reagan.

    One was a crazy guy meddling in Poland and threatened to screw over Europe through war if it wasn't for what happened in Russia

    And the other was Hitler heyooooooooooo

    Have you watched Horrible Bosses, Pony? If not...
    Early on the three protagonists meet a friend who formerly worked at Lehman Brothers, but has since been reduced to oral sex for money because of the economy.

    While over the top, I thought it was a good counter-argument to the "quit if you hate it" sentiment.

    They've always hated them. Just been running off a 'siphon' approach instead of garbage. Guess that's changed, which I approve of.

    Edit: this isn't the first time either. Similar thing happened to their fetish/nightmare fuel pages.

    I just saw a fat guy go shuffling down the street (I have to do all my surfing on the street since my net got cut off) and he was wearing a t-shirt with the midriff cut out. His fat, hairy gut just hanging out.

    Yeah, I saw it. It was sort of a hyperbolic counter-argument, but it does get the point across that it is simply not feasible for a great many people to just up and quit their jobs if they hate it. When people say shit like that it smacks of the sort of privilege that comes with having a specific degree/certification/licensing in a field where you can just pick up and go somewhere else if you hate working at a place.

    Which, you know

    doesn't apply to most people

    at all

    must be nice, that bolded text you've got there

    because a giant swath of the population, especially the sort who are on the lowest social rungs of the employment ladder, do not have that luxury.

    This would be the main barrier in your argument. Sometimes it's not possible to build up enough funds to survive outside employment until you can get a better job, especially when the economy is not very job-friendly right now.

    Also, spending two or three weeks in a country is quite different to spending months or years. Out of curiosity, what time of the year were you in Scotland?

    "Man I will be bored by California before I am 30 but I spent 3 weeks in Scotland so I will totally move there and go through the incredibly complicated British immigration policy, and I'll totally be able to afford doing so"

    Best of luck, champ. I sure hope you're in university and studying for your engineering degree and not a high school student who plans on majoring in literature.

    Yeah, three weeks somewhere is not enough to be able to tell if you'll love living there. There's no way of telling, really, except actually living there.

    No, it's probably going to be alright. There was just a shot of pain up my arm when it popped, folowed by numbness.

    My body is falling apart...but I'm bitching to the choir there, huh?

    If you got a shot of pain followed by numbness there's a very high chance what you did was tweaked a nerve, probably pinched it a little

    which is no big deal and is usually temporary

    it's actually very difficult to immigrate to a country when your reason for doing so is "I vacationed here and I think it's cool!"

    immigration officials generally frown on that

    if you aren't a refugee or a person with some kind of trade/useful degree/doctorate/in-demand certification or training

    or the country has a large unskilled labor market

    gooooood luck champ
