Comment Re:Politics or Video Games. (Score 2) 70

Yeah, though I'm all for gay marriage, I'm also like "You guys used to be practically illegal and now you want to be put on the official list of gays?" I know that people publicly proclaiming their rights is an important step for ending persecution for all time, but obviously others are much more optimistic and less cynical than me. (This is also a funny idea to bring up at parties or on the Internet.) And it's way off topic.

Comment Politics or Video Games. (Score 2) 70

I don't know what's dumber to post about, politics or games.

Games are at least fun for its own sake?

All my liberal friends here in NYC don't have to interact with conservatives IRL, but conservative schoolmates and family from back in Iowa are their major gripe about Facebook.

I guess that's half the reason I stopped Facebook, political cheerleading.

Comment Feminine smartphone use. (Score 2) 325

I have always thought that male smartphone users looked feminine. When they're in public, out of touch with what's around them, and pawing at this little thing, yeah, it doesn't give the impression that this is an alert dude that's ready to deal with the world around him. Especially when you imagine that he's looking at facebook or something.

I know that there's nothing good or bad about being feminine or not, whether or not you have testicles, but being a guy, I am kind of image conscious about how I use my phone. The same way I don't want my man-bag to look like a purse.

Comment Krugman can eat my shorts. (Score 2) 540

Krugman is a big fat idiot. If he wrote novels, they'd be dumber than Rand's. If he made movies, they'd be dumber than Michael Moore's.

Everybody talking offspring, percentages, and human ghettos can please get back to their real jobs. You are all seedling despots ready to sell out humanity, even if you don't know it yet.

The technology revolution we're up against is going to be so sweeping and the power and self-reliance of an individual will be so great that the question of dependency upon federal robo-credits or robo-biscuits will be moot. We will all be cyber-camping and living on impervious cyber-homesteads in fifty years. Energy, labor, and orgasms will be provided by your own fleet of robotic thingies. Technology beyond our wildest dreams will be as convenient as running water. We'll have figured out all kinds of awesome things about providing for our basic needs. In most of the world, the concept of inequality will be associated with totally bizarre things that our current value systems can't make sense of. (Kinda like how people in the year 1900 wouldn't understand why we fret over the right to internet access.) Everyone else will live in tacky McMansions and act like Real Housewives.

The cars will just have to be programmed to behave like conscientious stoners that just took a defensive driving class. I do think it's possible for all situations to be approached sensibly and to avoid collisions at high speeds.

Little rules like "All cars have doors that can be .5 the width of its car and these doors can open at any time."
