    2008 Mlb season

    Billy Wagner's bent that the Latino players (of course he's not gonna say it, but that's what it amounts to) aren't answering questions after games. The Mets are like an all-Latino team anyway. What's with Wright and Wagner (and Lo Duca last year) answering all the questions during bad times...

    Newcomb's Problem

    Well I mean you don't even need a simulation! Like, when you pick up a random rock off the ground, you don't have to test that that particular rock will fall at -9.81 m/s^2 to know that it should. So Omega is just so omega good at physics that it can predict what you will do! The way your...

    Newcomb's Problem

    Well, like, the way I see it is umm... The "decision" that you like, make is just based on the signals firing about in your brain which will fire a certain way no matter what. Omega has an omega cool simulator of some sort and simulates your non-random behavior. In fact, you have already made...

    Make post count optional?

    I really would like the posts-in-certain-forum stat! The purpose of post count is for people to have a way to determine the general experience of the poster in the forum, but someone who's been hanging out in the Civ 3 forums until recently, and decided to get Civ 4 recently would generally not...

    How do you use the word "beast"?

    He's a beast. That was such a beast(ly) thing to do. I beasted that test. That dog got beast owned. Kilimanjaro! Beast! All of the above.

    The Problem with soccer

    Wait, what? Since when have there ever been sports-related riots of any kind in the U.S.? There's a reason the fans don't need to be policed. That's nice. However, there is a difference between playing better on the field that particular day and being the better team. What the thread starter is...

    Can you admit you are wrong in public?

    I'll admit I'm wrong a lot. I'm wrong a lot, anyway. And what better way to win an argument than to concede that you are wrong before letting your opponent get all riled up in his or her amazing roll of repeated points?

    Illiteracy in America

    Many American adults are illiterate, either the type which cannot read any type of writing, or the type which essentially renders them illiterate since they cannot even perform basic reading tasks, such as reading a manual. Since I don't feel like giving a lot of random relevant background...

    What does the Middle Age Begin?

    It begins when you research all the non-optional Ancient Age technologies -- that is, everything except Literature, Republic, and Monarchy.

    Akira, Abridged

    You find that surprising? You can't judge all anime by one movie. Mainly because most anime fans only watch movies (other than those Miyazaki movies) if they've been a big fan of the series. Also, saying all anime is bad is pretty much the same thing as saying all music that uses...

    What's so bad about conforming?

    It's a fact. Conforming to the norm means that there will be more people that do what you do, leading to better and more social opportunities, which can lead to all sorts of things. In fact, not conforming is somewhat short-sighted. You do your own thing, pleasing you in the short term...

    Ocean Beaches vs. Lake Beaches

    Lake beaches have fewer sticks, drier sand, and brighter colors. At least that's how they are in my memory.
