Yeah! Those things need to be nerfed!

DO IT NOW Stole the idea from XKCD Forums. My attempt: tiftrg5

Yep. And Not_Trolling, do you believe everything you read on the internet? E: Edited the pic anyways, because I'm afraid of TEH PIGS.

What if I don't want my identity on Facebook connected to my identity on Amazon, or Pandora, or TIF, or Steam? Facebook did a thing a while back with tracking cookies (it was optional, but defaulted on and was complicated to turn off) where it would post in the news feed when you bought stuff or listened to music or did random things across the internet. It was met with huge consternation and I think there was a lawsuit. People want to keep things separate. Yes, it's optional, and the slippery slopes could be inaccurate, but it's a step in a direction many of us don't want to go.

No, she's wearing that tape. It just looks like it's inappropriate, it's actually covered. That, believe it or not, is No. 13, from House.

^Yeah, I saw that in the NYT. Supposedly they're building a case against Assange. What fun.

This just in: Obama is credited with an unrealistic idea that makes a bunch of people angry. Ever wonder why they call it "new"s?

I like broccoli extremely soft. I'm not a big on vegetables, but I've found undercooked green beans in garlic butter (with garlic butter mashed potatoes and 16oz sirloin tips via Not Your Average Joe's) are heavenly.

You have bad taste :thumbup: I lol'd. Also:

To the guy whose name starts with Q: The way I see it, your situation is really the same one most people your age deal with. You are faced with life, and you get stuck when you ask yourself, "What do I want?" This is completely normal. The inner conflict is worsened by your personal situation. Solving it requires that you admit it needs to be solved. I know it sounds dumb, but life is an opportunity. Figure out what you want to do with it, or you'll be stuck moping around your whole life. A few points: -[bleep] your parents. They're idiots, and the only way you can preserve yourself is to accept that they're idiots and leave them behind. -[bleep] therapists and doctors. They're useless and incompetent. It's a ridiculous overstatement (they couldn't all be bad, could they?), but it's much easier to not get involved than it is to find someone who will actually help. -The world doesn't care about football, and people who were popular in high school tend to be uninteresting for the rest of their lives. Yes, that's an opinion. -Being happy and learning to cope are the same thing, just different words. You need something to occupy yourself, and you need a reason to stick with it. You will have to supply the reason for yourself, and it will blossom into the occupation. Your social issue (uncofortability with communication) is the one you should begin solving immediately. The truth is, it's all in your head. You are only uncomfortable talking to people because you know you're uncomfortable talking to people. If you have trouble speaking, do two things: Speak slowly and clearly, and talk to yourself when you're alone. It will be great practice for being crazy and homeless - or, on the off-chance that you find something other than misery, will help you develop the confidence you need to become a boring, everyday person. Now, what is the extent of your external social difficulties? I understand your parents are hostile and cause problems for you, but do you get along with your peers? What about school teachers, guidance counselors, random adults, just anybody you could rely on? If people either don't really know you at all or just think you're wierd (and aren't aggressively hostile), you can change a lot with a bit of effort. Start doing a bit of easy working out, either by borrowing some weights, doing pushups/chinups/situps in your room, or visiting the gym. If you're not really in great shape, start running. Not only will it make you feel better in general, but other people will respect you for showing an interest. If you can't find any motivation for it, look at it this way: With a better body, maybe you'll actually get laid in the future. You should care because it's better than not caring. I assume you're a senior in high school (you're American, right?). That means in a few months, you will be faced with having nothing to do at all. The best thing you can do here is get into a college with dorms and move away from your parents. Seperating yourself from your current situation physically will give you the opportunity to change who you are without having to deal with the preconceptions of those around you. Even if you believe the opportunity to find a college has passed, you should still look for something. Oh, and as an 18-year-old, you can get your license pretty easily (I think it depends on the state, but I've heard usually you just have to take a test - none of that permit or driving hour bullcrap). I've probably missed something in my post. If you have no hope at all, at least get a job at K-Mart or something and make some money so you can eventually get an apartment somewhere far away, perhaps shared with someone similar (and believe me, there are similar people. I myself may be looking for an apartment in a year if things go sour). Don't accept misery. It's no fun at all. Oh, and if you're trolling, you've ruined my faith in humanity.

The same girl? LOL. Sam, if she's telling the truth, you shouldn't worry and should let her be. If she's lying (it seems like part of you is suggesting this), she needs some space and you should let her be.

I'm not a big carrot eater, but uncooked baby carrots are pretty good, especially with ranch dressing. I used to hate cooked carrots, but I've found when they're cooked with brown sugar and butter they can be delicious, and are also good in a pot roast.

I don't know if you got the point or not. Nihilism is about a lack of value when it comes to the nature of existence, yet in order to have such a position, you must first value knowledge. Therefore it is a paradox, suggesting high levels of obscurity. That is correct. In fact, Nihilism is by definition a contradiction because, as humans, it is impossible for us to actually value nothing. To do so would require us to act the same way in every situation, which nobody does.

Stay indoors this weekend. What movie was it where they realized a zombie virus in animals would eventually mutate and jump to humans just because it would be impossible for it not to, given infinite time? Actually, never mind, the probably happens in tons of movies. But yeah, start building your Armageddon shelter.

I live on the right, where it's only white people and we're nicely spaced out. Not by law, of course, just by capitalism.

The one good thing Asia ever gave us: Hiromi Uehara.

It's not that obscure, it's just a couple big words. It's not very specific either, but yes, Nihilism is a branch of Existentialism (meaning the study of existence), not to be confused with Existentialism (the branch of Nihilism that claims in a meaningless world one must find one's own meaning, through God or otherwise) or Pure Nihilism (my own term, referring to Nihilists who disagree with both Existentialists of the latter type and Absurdists, saying that there is never any reason to live at all). The confusion with Nihilism stems from the fact that it is still developing, and we won't have solid names or ideas (which, by the way, are never entirely accurate) until later.

Confession: I don't know what was in "Ever Caught Them" and I'm definitely not mature.

I have a ten page paper due tomorrow which I'm still working on the research for (research was due months ago, first draft was due a few weeks back). This is probably the stupidest thing I've done so far. My plan: procrastinate on TF2 and Tip.It until 2AM, then give up and deal with the shame of turning it in after the weekend. The best part: It's 20% of my grade in both English and History, and it was assigned back in October.

Hmm. It looks like code for their next hit. Now we just need to figure out who TX-1 is. I suspect Mike is the guy they'll be killing, and they will do so by strangulation, hence, the repetition of the word "Throat" throughout the message. I don't have a lot of experience with codes, maybe we could bring this to the XKCD Forums.

*Holds gun to your head.* Here's a bajillion dollars, now buy a mother effing boat before I blow your brains out! :mrgreen: REPORTED And they wonder why I'm for gun control. OT: I've never really been interested in big boats. Being knocked around by every breeze and always being inches from capsizing is a real rush.
