    Scott Pilgrim and how it is terrible because it panders to nerd culture or something. I don't know, I've never read it.

    Hey wait a minute.

    I thought you agreed to be at my office at 8am this morning, Ellie.
    Sorry. Forgot about my housesitting gig. They're actually paying me for this. I'm pretty sure you aren't. ;)

    I was paying you in sex! WE AGREED UPON THIS! IT WAS YOUR TERMS!

    Wait.

    House sitting? Fo' real?

    You have to have a gigantic and wacky party that ends with you scrambling to clean it up before the owners get home.

    I wanted to say something really crass in response to that (but not disparaging to you), but I'm pretty sure I don't want it to come back and bite me in the ass, so pretend I said something very cheeky.

    And yeah, house sitting fo' rizzle.

    Right? The family I'm sitting for was all "You can have a party if you want to. Have your friends over. We've got every movie channel and there's plenty of beer in the fridges."

    I mean, really? REALLY? If only my friends weren't all "we can't be arsed to drive out to your end of the Cities because there's nothing to do there," I would totally throw a party and it would be epical.

    Damn it, say the crass stuff. It's more fun that way.

    Also, what terrible friends. They clearly don't understand the joy of taking advantage of someone else's house.

    Right? It was pulling teeth to get my friends to come out here for my birthday, and then we got tossed from the bar because the 28-year-old forgot to renew her ID (not license) that expired in fucking February. (This was June. Plenty of time to have remembered to do this.) They think that if you aren't in Minneapolis or Saint Paul proper, that the place is a shitty hicksville ghost town with nothing of value. I don't understand this mentality.

    Man, if I said half the crass shit that crosses my mind, I would never be able to show my face here because I'd never live it down and I would be crying all the time from all the fun poked at me. :P I'm too thin-skinned to set myself up for that.

    Best shampoo I ever had had oatmeal in it. I have no idea what it was called. I have very fine hair that tends to frizz and also tends to get oily. That shampoo was the perfect chemistry for my scalp, no grease, no frizz.

    Every once in a while I think to myself, "Hey, that oatmeal shampoo was rad!" and I go looking for it and I can never find it. Maybe I dreamed it.

    I bet you it was by Aveeno.

    It is the same tautology by which entropy functions. Which means if that were the case, we'd have to throw out thermodynamics too.

    At any rate, while you can't falsify the tautology, you can easily falsify natural selection by proving that it doesn't produce the most likely thing to exist.

    I guess you don't actually have to sleep with her. Just tell the missus that you have and that she was rubbish. That should sort out your problems.

    Right, that should clear up her fears immediately.

    sarks you're being ridiculous.

    i'm explaining what i don't like about the comics- too full of self-indulgent references and every name drop imaginable. every few pages makes me groan, because i can imagine a 20something liberal who grew up in the late 80s going "heehee, that was cool". i don't like that, it makes it difficult for me to immerse myself in the work. i think it's lame and silly.

    i haven't called anyone a pedophile or a filthy, antisocial geek. you're seriously making me sound way more hateful and judgmental than i'm actually being.

    What I am saying is instead of being satisfied with saying that the comic isn't for you but you don't begrudge other people liking it you are calling the comic bad when it isn't bad, it just falls outside of your own tastes. Basically I don't see why you have to invalidate other people's tastes when all you had to do was say the comic wasn't for you. It's needlessly confrontational and it spurs arguments like these when all it could have been was "this is my personal truth" and then you could have continued to dislike the comic and I could have continued re-reading volume five and it would have been fine.

    There are a lot of things I don't like but I don't call them bad, I recognize that they are good. There is a lot of music, for example, that I can't get into but I believe is technically good. There is no reason for me to call into question other people's tastes and it's not an argument I want to be responsible for starting.

    am i allowed to call twilight bad?

    i think there are some things wrong with the comic. its demographic is not me, but aside from that i already said i feel that the overloaded, directed references thing is lame- it's, in my opinion, lame. it's treehousey, whether it's about being a young, music loving, game playing liberal person in america or whether it's about guns and mixed martial arts. i'm not saying anyone's a dumbass for disagreeing with me.

    i'm really not insulting anyone (except, i guess, the author a little bit) here, so i don't know why i'm not allowed to say what i dislike about this book. i guess because it's popular here?

    Entropy occurs because the state in which there is are the most possible microstates that fulfill the macrostate is the most likely to exist. It's a matter of probability, which is to say that the state with the highest entropy is the most likely to exist. Which can be broken down to the same tautology as natural selection.
