I am putting this out there just as an informative thing, and because what Lexxy said gave me confidence that this is an all right thing to do. (If it’s not clear, I have a ton of respect for Lexxy, dang what a cool person.)

Umineko’s done for today, so because there’s a few people around that haven’t seen it, I will be restreaming Higurashi starting from the beginning! Anyone interested, feel free to stop in. It is an amazing piece of horror and mystery. If you’ve seen it before or if you’re entirely new, come on in, but if you aren’t new be sure you don’t spoil it for the...

Considering I’ve played way too many video games and love Community, I decided to break down the list of Hilda’s topics from the brilliant Digital Estate Planning by game. This is truly a testament to the absurd amount of detail the show puts into even the smallest jokes.

“… when people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought...”
– Isaac Asimov - The Relativity of Wrong
The great science fiction author writes of the fuzzy nature of right and wrong, and how scientific theories should not be considered incorrect as much as they should simply be considered incomplete. (via jtotheizzoe)

HANG on the earth is spherical?
Actually it’s not. It’s an oblate spheroid. We’ve talked about it before.
It’s actually not quite regular enough to be an oblate spheroid (even ignoring mountains and oceans and whatnot) due to uneven distribution of mass. The proper term, in a hilarious bit of...

Okay, in my last post I mentioned a question that was really bugging me, and it still is, so I’m gonna post it here for you mathematicians to see. ;D
It was only worth two marks, so it’s not supposed to be particularly taxing… buut I completely guessed it due to my lack of knowledge.
Basically the question was about a geometric progression involving logarithms. It was...

Not liking sex doesn't equal not consenting
acesecrets:
There was a post in the ace tags that went something like this “I didn’t like the sex but I pretended to to see you happy”.
And (non-aces) went off on it. Saying it was creepy, that “violating your boundaries” is wrong, etc.
But…it never said anything about boundaries, or not wanting to do it. How is it lying about boundaries? I don’t understand.
Just because you don’t like sex,...

The Bloofer Lady's Blog: In Defense of Modern Art →

thedailysua:
I feel like as a resident art history doof I have to clarify a few things about the relationship between modern art and things like hyper realism in the art world. I hope you don’t mind.
A little background: the art world isn’t a made up clique, it’s basically the crowd you…
I agree with this post. I always imagined modern art came about as a sort of revolution towards...

When a girl tells you if you were the last man on earth she wouldn’t have sex with you, whisper: “Who would stop me?”. It shuts her up fast.
If a man ever says that to you, ladies, look him dead in the eyes and say, “I would.” If you have a blade, a personal tazer, or any other purchased or self fashioned weapon, now would be the time to lay it on the table. It shuts...
Avengers has grossed 1 BILLION dollars!
pocketfulofgeek:
This tells me two things:
1. Avengers is just that frikkin’ awesome. It really is.
2. Piracy is not destroying the industry as much as we are being told. It really isn’t. Stop making crappy movies and perhaps people will start paying more for them, like Avengers.
The war in VIET-FUCKING-NAM
chrc:
One of the things I look forward to studying should I enter the officer program one day is military history?
Why?
Because it gives wonderful insight in how war starts and how you, most importantly end them, and how ridiculously important resources have been.
I think it says a lot about us as humans though. I mean, the Vietnam war wasn’t directly important because of resources, but the...

wigmund replied to your post: The war in VIET-FUCKING-NAM
Sweden wasn’t always peaceful though, it and most every European nation had a long history of being horrifically violent towards its neighbors. But they all kinda grew past that point about the time they became democracies. US is still young/violent
Oh absolutely. Sweden’s by no regard a saint in the...

Science editors, we need to talk . . .

Can we please, pretty please, pleasepleaseplease STOP featuring posts that are copied straight from news articles?!?
I can Google 90% of the Tumblr #Science tag and find the exact press release or article it came from. It’s getting ridiculous. When you highlight plagiarism (and it is plagiarism) you make it seem acceptable. And it is not acceptable.
