It's a shame that Thompson became a caricature of himself in his later writing Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail: 1972 is still the best campaign memoir ever written and you wish that he still had that energy for Better Than Sex, his book about the 1992 campaign, but it's mostly scans of faxes that he sent to Clinton staffers while drunk.

I don't know, "a collection of stuff HST sent to Clinton staffers while drunk" still sounds like it might be worth reading.

John Lott wrote a book called More Guns, Less Pants once, but apparently it's pretty lovely.

Also, Chingon IPA is the best IPA. It should be illegal to make beer this delicious.

Funny thing about Upper Michigan: It's a solid red voting block, just about everyone is a Republican, with one Rep for the whole area(and he is insufferable). But guess who the biggest employer in the whole area is:

the state of Michigan


I find that oddly hilarious for some reason.

I actually have an uncle who lives in the Upper Peninsula. A couple months ago he posted a picture of some Michigan State Police interoffice correspondence about him on Facebook. It literally describes him as "a long haired radical, who is active in demonstrations and political functions".

Frankly, I'm kind of jealous.

Was this a recent thing or just a reference to Gategate?

KInd of an extension of it I guess. Arthmoor is pushing an expansion of mod author rights which puts compatibility patches and stuff under the control of the original mod authors, but excludes dynamic patchers because the content is run on the users computer.


Ah, I heard about that. I thought it was a direct "take down mod X/Y/Z now because I'm bluffing a lawsuit" thing, not just more of his "Der Modder Hat Immer Recht" schtick.

(Edited because apparently "modder" is in fact a loanword in German.)

There is just sooo much we don't know about the human mind, much less the brain. We treat BiPD with lithium, but we have no idea why it works. It was discovered on accident when a dude was injecting crazy person piss into rats for some reason and used lithium salts for chemical reasons and found out it tranqed them :shrug:

And another drug that has been used in recent years for treating bipolar disorder, lamotrigine, was originally a treatment for epilepsy.

Christians infect themselves by consuming the blood of Christ. It's really unsanitary.

Transubstantiation is strictly a Catholic/Orthodox deal, so Protestants are in the clear disease-wise. Except possibly the Anglicans.

What do you suggest, bub? People keep posting dick pics? Post more dick pics? Because god forbid they post less I suppose.

What's wrong with you? Do you have a horse in this race or something? Like are you worried your fapspring will dry up?

Never posted nude pics (insert goon stereotype joke here), never gone looking for celebrity nudes, still think you're a victim-blaming piece of poo poo.

Once one of my friends told me that literally all anime in Germany is dubbed over by the same three voice actors or something

Eh, you get that over here too, especially with video games. If you've ever played anything with voice acting, odds are it's featured the voices of Steve Blum, Cam Clarke, and/or Jim Cummings.

Why not just quote what he felt was a good response and identify the source? Witnessing isn't supposed to rely solely on your own words or anything.

Because what he was doing was even more pathetic: going to an Orthodox Christianity forum, pretending to be an atheist, using arguments gathered from D&D in his posts there, then replying on D&D using arguments gathered from the Orthodox forum.
