    I naturally selected a case of Baja Blast.

    But I should have just panmixid some Mt. Dew and Gatorade.

    Dark Souls is fun, and yeah, you can win by being methodical early on.

    I think the thing that trips most people up is if you press that god damn attack or dodge button twice you will god damn do two actions.

    It certainly still gets me. I WANT TO HAMMER ON THE BUTTON.
    this is basically the most lethal thing in dark souls after falling off cliffs and just ahead of the lock-on wildly swinging around between two nearby enemies

    did you guys know that the reason why women date assholes instead of NICE GUYS is because they are biologically programmed to want to stay in the tribe and not get kicked out into the wilderness to die so they gravitate to men who can help them achieve that goal this is also why women cry and defend their foul actions

    Other fun evolutionary biology anecdotes

    before my boss gave me that speech, I got into a facebook argument with someone I didn't know (lolol)

    I tried to put forth the thesis that the way both researchers and the general public talk about evolution biases a lot of the research and conclusions

    Specifically I was talking about the use of "derived", "ancestral", and more importantly "primitive" or "advanced"- which are still phrases that turn up in the evolutionary literature, even today

    I tried to argue that this is a convention dating back at least to Haeckel, and probably further to the last vestiges of the original great chain of being (which Origin of species tried to get away from, sort of) and this guy said

    "What the fuck are you talking about? Evolution is all just statistical chance sorting out natural variation, it can't be biased. You don't know shit about evolution."

    At the time I was offended, but I guess my boss agrees!

    Oh yeah. We also need to stop using words like "programmed" when discussing evolution.

    What with there not being a programmer, and all.

    elendil, i can't wait until you play dark souls 2. it doesn't create as complete a SPACE since you can fast travel, but it improves on a lot of things and is otherwise the exact same

    Sure! Let's be habit buddies! i have no clue how, but let's try!

    cool I am Bygasto in the thing

    I think I might get into using this seriously, if I ever figure out what specific tasks I want to put in

    i just put in a couple tasks i need to do every day for easy points.

    >_>

    like for instance, i put in "take meds" as a daily thing

    as for habits, i just put in a couple things i need to do that aren't on a fixed schedule, like preparing an actual meal or doing the dishes or designing things...

    The reason women cry and defend their foul actions is due to the fact that female souls are dark and twisted perversions of true, male souls.

    @21stCentury‌

    #1 Learn the box model. Here's a good intro. http://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/
    There's also a lot of other good stuff on that page.

    #2 Use the developer tools in your browser. If you use Chrome, hit F12 and bring up the Elements tab. (Or you can right-click on anything and choose "Inspect Element"). If you use Firefox, install Firebug to do the same thing.

    #3 When in doubt, set a border. Can't figure out how stuff is behaving and why? Declare a really ugly border around it like
    div.Naughty {
       border: dashed 1px #FF0000; /* Bright red dashed box! */
       }
    

    that will show you exactly where it is and what it's doing. You can always remove it later.

    Pro-tip: you can do that straight in the browser if you're using Chrome developer tools or Firebug.

    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.

    no, programmed is fine

    we just need to be happy with the idea that the programmer doesnt exist but the program still happened anyway
