Oh, I don't mind reposts. It's just that people were saying that it wasn't one when it actually was. Like emptyvoid said, if it's funny, it's okay if it keeps popping up, reposted here and there, because others will see it (and you might be reminded of it if you forgot. And a reposted joke just might be the thing that turns your day around if you're having a bad day!)

I don't know which Star Wars EU books you read, but you obviously had bad luck in finding the good ones! The ones about Black Sun, the ones about Prince Xizor, everything by Timothy Zahn, everything by Kevin J. Anderson, the one with the Darksaber...and those are just some of the good ones for post-Rebellion! (I haven't gotten around to reading much Old Republic stuff yet) If you want to give Star Wars EU books another chance, look at the works of Timothy Zahn and Kevin J. Anderson.

Makes no cents 18 comments

guest · 10 years ago

I thought it would be an interesting idea if people could sell their pennies back to the government. It costs, what, two cents to make a one-cent coin? What if you could sell back pennies at, say, $1.25 for every hundred pennies? People will make a tiny bit of profit (or a lot, if they collect thousands of pennies), and the government won't lose as much money as before. Then my dad explained to me how the main cause for the extra cost is that distribution is included in the price to make a penny, so buying back pennies wouldn't really save money unless they were bought back at less than the cost to physically make a penny, which is either less than or close enough to one cent that a deal wouldn't really make sense.

Probably me when I try to dance 2 comments

guest · 10 years ago

All you really need is attitude. I'm frequently complimented on my dancing, yet it's all I can do to not trip over my own feet and smack myself in the face. As long as you don't go halfhearted and you have an attitude that the fact that you're doing it wrong just doesn't compute and that possibility doesn't exist in this universe, you're set! Attitude is the difference between people whispering "look at that kid having a spaz attack" and saying "dude, look at that guy go!"
Unless you're talking about, like, salsa or swing dancing. That stuff's tough.

I remember the college nearest to where I used to live did a bake sale like this, except based on race. It was supposed to bring attention to how it's "easier for some races to get into college," but really it just brought a lot of controversy and protests. Asians paid $3, Whites paid $2, Latinos paid $1, Blacks paid $0.50, and Native Americans paid $0.25. Also, women got a 25-cent discount.
Problem was, a Native American girl quickly realized that she'd basically get goods for free, so instead of protesting the sale, she was just going to buy it all out! I don't remember exactly how that turned out in the end...

Bye 14 comments

It just disappointed me because I went into it thinking it would be more than just "throw a bunch of kids in an artificial nightmare arena and see who's left." I was expecting something like The Quillan Games (from the Pendragon series). When I reread the books with a more open approach, I liked them a bit better. My first read through, I expected a story about the circumstances the characters were in, but reading it again I realized it was a story about the mentalities of characters with survivor attitudes. If I want to read about sadistic death games that determine whether or not certain civilians will even be able to eat tomorrow in a world run by an oppressive, unstoppable government, complete with plot twists and moments that hit the reader hard, I'll look elsewhere. But I wouldn't say that I hated The Hunger Games either.

20 things that men do 82 comments

guest · 10 years ago

I do 2, 3, 4, and 18 (just to clean all the cookies and tracer junk, not from anything embarrassing/incriminating/creepy. Although I should probably do that too. I just spent the last three hours on a research binge studying serial killers, so my history looks a bit sketchy...)
I do number 16 a little differently. I watch romantic comedies with a date and we both give it the MST3K treatment! It helps that most of the girls I know love riffing movies and shows. It doesn't mean the movie's bad, it just means the movie's fun!
I also do number 14, but I always imagine myself dying... I've promised myself I'll never commit suicide, but the impulses are there all the time, and I wouldn't exactly be displeased if I rushed a terrorist and got shot without saving anyone.

I also don't mind One Direction, and I've got no problem with Nicholas Cage. Crocs are right out, though.

Australian Bank Turns ATMs Into Colorful ‘GAYTMs’ To Support LGBT Parade 30 comments

guest · 10 years ago

(different guest here) The difference is that all those straight couples you mention aren't meant to provoke a response, while this is. If ATMs used to not function for gay people and then a bank put out a press release that they decided to make them work for anyone regardless of gender, that'd be okay. But this is just an in-your-face annoyance.

Oh, and if, as you suggested, what he was really trying to say was "don't teach kids to ignore facts," I'm in full agreement with that message! It's always sad when someone can't think critically because someone else has always told them what to think. And I can't deny that some people do do that. As evidenced by all the posts here on FS of him pwning someone in a debate! When I see those, I want to just yell "gaah, why don't you actually think instead of just spouting off rote responses that you probably don't even know the evidence for! At the very least you'd put up a good argument, if you actually reasoned out why you're saying what you're saying!"

Sure, pepper! It's not so much that I don't believe in any of the evidence put forward, I just think that the evidence points to God and not some spontaneous organism as a "common ancestor" to everything. Granted, I'm no specialist in either theology or biology/paleontology/psychology/other-sciences-involved-with-evolution-ology. But I don't really need to be. My original comment was me reacting to what I (perhaps incorrectly) perceived to be his insinuation that if you don't believe in evolution you can't be inventive. I've been able to make amazing things without needing to know the history of life on earth. I love science because I love seeing all the connections and the way things mesh together. Just because I think that the facts point to God doesn't mean I can't appreciate the engineering of it. I could be completely wrong about evolution, but that doesn't mean that I can't be a creative thinker.

Ah. I guess maybe I'm reading it out of context? It sounded like he was implying that if you don't believe in evolution, you can't think scientifically or creatively and you won't contribute to society, which irked me because I, and countless others, are proof against that. But yeah, I guess that it makes more sense if his target was those "science is evil" parents. And I don't know which video this is from, so I don't know the rest of the context behind it.

We did that on our high school theater stage. We've had to paint it a different scheme for pretty much every performance we've ever done since forever, and my senior year my teacher finally chose a small piece to chip up and show us the "history" of the stage.

And believing that God created the universe and everything in it means that you can't be creative? Engineering is a huge part of creation theory! The math in the universe, the way circumstances and situations turn out just right for things to happen, the consistencies, the laws of physics, ecosystems, all the phenomena that can and can't be explained, everything; it's like one giant Rube Goldberg machine! Knowing that God built all that encourages creativity, solving problems, and making stuff! Yes, there are parents out there that quash all their kids' curiosity by declaring all science blasphemous, and to those parents, he is justified in saying that they shouldn't limit their children. But to insinuate that a disbelief in evolution means that you can't have amazing ideas and build amazing things is just plain wrong.

We've repeatedly been told that we "don't need to hold it all in," as if that's a bad thing. Sometimes letting it out is worse. Do you know what happens when someone with a panic disorder talks to someone else about the possibility of having a panic attack? They have a panic attack. And it's so much worse when someone sees you break down like that. Do you know what happens when they hold it in and don't say anything? They can release in private. Have you ever been angry about something and then half an hour later realized you were upset over nothing? Yeah, good thing you decided to hold it in and not say you're angry about something that was actually no big deal. Oh wait, no, you decided to let it out and instead of putting it in the past, now you have to feel regret for saying something you didn't truly mean.
There are times when it's good to talk things out. But that doesn't apply to everything.

My dad did this with me, except with imaginary money. I had a fake $1000 to invest in 5 stocks, and then I'd track it for a year and tell him what my increase was. I made $60 at the end of the year. I wish I'd used real money, though. One of the stocks I picked was Apple. In 2006, a couple months before the 2nd generation iPod Nano was released. It's now worth 10 times as much! If I could go back in the past and change one thing, it would be to tell myself to actually use real money and keep them at least 'till 2013.

Actually, they were supposed to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Only thing was, there also had to be sin, or else the concept of righteousness wouldn't exist (it's a duality thing, like how you need to know darkness to know light, or sadness to know happiness). So when Satan tempted them and they ate the fruit, they gained critical thinking and introduced the concepts of righteousness and sin, both of which God wanted to happen, so actually Satan was tricked into advancing God's plan! Which, y'know, I think is pretty cool.
