we have a family friend with moderately severe autism and his big thing is movies. he just is completely obsessed with movies and every fact about them and can tell you who the director was, the budget and box office gross, release date, etc. except...it's only new movies. he does not care in the slightest if the movie isn't in theaters. he only adds movies to his "database" if they're new releases and his knowledge only goes back basically as far as he started doing this. he has never seen any of the great classic films and has no interest in them either.

so we go to that family's place for dinner, he asks me "uh, so, what movies have you seen lately?" (his favorite question) and i say "well couple weeks ago i watched bullitt, and close encounters of the third kind, and alien, they're pretty great, you should check them out, man" and his eyes glaze over and he goes "have you seen paranormal activity 3? i saw paranormal activity 3 last week"

it's really frustrating, i would actually be happy to sperg about movies with him for a couple hours and give him a bunch of my favorites to watch but he just inexplicably doesn't care unless they're new. american pie 8 is more important to him than aliens or reare window or the shining or w/e. ugh

indonesia has played a total of 1 (one) fifa world cup game:

quote:

Indonesia at the FIFA World Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a record of Indonesia's results at the FIFA World Cup. The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II.
The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.[1]
The Indonesian national football team has only participated once in the FIFA World Cup, which is the 1938 World Cup in France, under the name Dutch East Indies. Although they are now independent from the Netherlands and has changed their name to Indonesia, FIFA considers them as the successor team of Dutch East Indies. The Indies played Hungary in their first game ever, losing 6-0. The straight knockout format used at the time made it the only game ever played by the Indonesians. Thus, Indonesia holds the FIFA World Cup record as the only team with the fewest matches played (1) and one of the teams with the fewest goals scored (0).
In 1958, the team tasted their first World Cup action as Indonesia in the qualifying rounds. They got past China in the first round, but subsequently refused to play their next opponents Israel. The team suffered a long hiatus from FIFA World Cup since 1958 due to an unfavourable political situation - both internally and externally. It was only in 1974 that Indonesia returned to the fold.

Any counter-measures which have a negative economic impact will remain a controversial issue due to the strong economic interests involved[citation needed], with key questions regarding whether the scientific understanding is strong enough to warrant the proposed countermeasures[citation needed]. In this context it is worth noting that it is commonly believed that one reason for the relative ease of introduction of the Montreal protocol was the availability of CFC replacements at little extra cost[citation needed].

The consensus amongst most atmospheric physicists[who?] and chemists[who?] is that the scientific understanding has now reached a level where countermeasures to control CFC emissions are justified[citation needed], although the decision is ultimately one for policy-makers and society[citation needed].

Despite this general consensus[citation needed], the science behind ozone depletion remains complex[citation needed], and some who oppose the enforcement of countermeasures point to some of the difficulties experienced in these studies[citation needed]. For example:

Initial studies of the ozone hole were hampered with difficulties[citation needed]. Most notably, satellite measurements showing massive depletion of ozone around the south pole were initially rejected as unreasonable by data quality control algorithms[citation needed]; the ozone hole was only detected in satellite data when the raw data was reprocessed with modified processing algorithms following evidence of an ozone hole in in situ observations[citation needed]. This, however, was simply a problem with the data-processing algorithms for the satellite data and has long been corrected, and so has no bearing on the current situation[citation needed].

Predictions of ozone remains a difficult science[citation needed]. The World Meteorological Organization Global Ozone Research and Monitoring Project – Report No. 44, which on balance comes out strongly in favour of the Montreal protocol[citation needed], nonetheless notes that projections of ozone loss for the 1994–1997 period made in the UNEP 1994 Assessment had been an overestimate[citation needed].

Although increased UVB has been shown to constitute a melanoma risk (see above)[citation needed], it has been difficult for statistical studies to establish a direct link between ozone depletion and increased rates of melanoma[citation needed]. Although melanomas did increase significantly during the period 1970–1990, it is difficult to separate reliably the effect of ozone depletion from the effect of changes in lifestyle factors (e.g. time spent outdoors)[citation needed].

One prominent opponent of CFC reduction strategy has been the atmospheric scientist Fred Singer, who has noted the scientific uncertainties such as the lack of direct observations of surface UV increases (as mentioned above)[citation needed]. However, Singer goes far beyond this to claim, for example, that "CFCs with lifetimes of decades and longer become well-mixed in the atmosphere, percolate into the stratosphere, and there release chlorine" is controversial [4][citation needed][/super], when there is clear evidence for it[citation needed](though Singer is wrong to use the word "percolate"[citation needed]). Singer, who is also a leading skeptic of strategies on global warming[citation needed], has consistently insisted that the remaining level of scientific uncertainty about these issues is too high to justify taking the control measures recommended by most other atmospheric scientists, given their possible economic impact[citation needed].

Criticism [edit]

Some professionals have acknowledged that Second Life offers unique opportunities to expand the horizons of traditional library services.[1] In addition, some University librarians believe that Second Life library can be a valuable part of University services, becoming involved in activities such as delivering a downloading service for lecture notes.[1]

Some studies have found that some librarians did not pay enough attention to pre-planning their Second Life libraries, despite librarianship having a culture of planning and management.[5] Most Second Life librarians have no time to manage Second Life Library during their working time because there is not any official timeline that designed by departments.[5] As a result, Second Life libraries are misunderstood by many people who view Second Life libraries as just games without any educational value. Although the Second Life library is easier to navigate and provides many useful and good materials, it has few users. The reason is that the Second Life branch has not been well promoted in real life so library users do not know its existence.[5]

The key features of Web 2.0 [22] include:
  1. Folksonomy- free classification of information; allows users to collectively classify and find information (e.g. Tagging)
  2. Rich User Experience- dynamic content; responsive to user input
  3. User as a Contributor- information flows two ways between site owner and site user by means of evaluation, review, and commenting
  4. Long tail- services offered on demand basis; profit is realized through monthly service subscriptions more than one-time purchases of goods over the network
  5. User Participation- site users add content for others to see (e.g. Crowdsourcing)
  6. Basic Trust- contributions are available for the world to use, reuse, or re-purpose
  7. Dispersion- content delivery uses multiple channels (e.g. file sharing, permalinks); digital resources and services are sought more than physical goods
  8. Mass Participation

Favorable connotations
Among Incas left-handers were called (and now are called among the indigenous peoples of the Andes) lloq'e (Quechua: lluq'i) which has positive value. Peoples of the Andes consider left-handers to possess special spiritual abilities, including magic and healing.

The Third Sapa Inca—Lloque Yupanqui—was left-handed. His name, when translated from Quechua, means "the glorified lefthander." However, Lloque was also known as "The Unforgettable Left-Handed One" due to his reportedly horrifying ugliness.

In the Chinese language, the character for "left", 左, depicts a left hand attending to its work. In contrast, the character for "right", 右 (yòu), depicts a right hand in relation to the mouth, suggesting the act of eating.

In tantra Buddhism, the left hand represents wisdom.[25]

In early Roman times, the left side retained a positive connotation, as the Augures proceeded from the eastern side.[26] The negative meaning was subsequently borrowed into Latin from Greek, and ever since in all Roman languages.

In Russian, "levsha" (lefty, lefthander) became a common noun for skilled craftsman, after the title character from "The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea" written in 1881 by Nikolai Leskov.

In the context of BDSM and Leather culture, the left side is traditionally associated with dominance. Flagging on the left indicated one was the performer of an action rather than the recipient, and in The Story of O (an early piece of BDSM erotica) masters wore a symbolic ring on the left hand to show who they were.

Sean Dooley described jizz as "the indefinable quality of a particular species, the 'vibe' it gives off" and notes that although it is "dismissed by many as some kind of birding alchemy, there is some physical basis to the idea of jizz."[1]

Experienced birders can often make reliable identifications in the field at a glance by utilising jizz. Often jizz is useful for identifying to the family or genus level, rather than the species level. For example, "It definitely had the jizz of a thrush, but I couldn't see what kind."
