    Do you feel bad about "the starving kids in Africa" ?

    I care about people in need because I wouldn't desire to be in their situation. If I prefer that others care about me when I'm in need, then I need to care about others currently in that position. It's the fundamental basis of ethics. Saying "Well, my donation won't change everything" is a...

    Profound Human Rights Violations Discovered in Bulgaria

    I don't expect anyone to donate. My own donation was modest. If you could tell someone, it would mean something. I appreciate that you took the time to look at this thread :)

    Profound Human Rights Violations Discovered in Bulgaria

    Indeed, this is a prime example of that mentality. There is evidence that the staff tried to cover up deaths. Moreover, the sickest children had been kept upstairs (aka "The Hopeless Ward") so that their condition would not be discovered.

    A lot of it is admittedly the result of ignorance, but this case reeks of malicious intent.

    Profound Human Rights Violations Discovered in Bulgaria

    I realize that this type of thing isn't new, however, the situation with respect to the Bulgarian institution is happening now. Professor Lilova, who has offered to treat the children for free, is seeking funds and support for transportation and related expenses. Donating to this cause or...

    Profound Human Rights Violations Discovered in Bulgaria

    This particular instance is very recent. Neglect is common, but this case is severe enough that they have removed the orphanage director. Evidence has been found that attempts were made to cover up deaths. There is no excuse for any of this.

    The Humble Bundle Hits the Road

    All of the games work on the Kindle Fire, although you'll have to download the mobile version of Osmos (not sure why tablet doesn't work, but mobile looks great nonetheless).

    The Humble Bundle Hits the Road

    Just FYI, it works on the Kindle Fire and other tablets. I wasn't going to get the bundle until I realized that I did in fact have something that would run the games.

    Jimquisition: Piracy - Trying To Kill It Makes It Stronger

    Great episode. I could pirate games, but then there's Steam. In less than a year, I have accumulated more than 100 games on the service, simply because it is so damned convenient and appealing. It has gotten to a point where I don't even like purchasing games that can't be registered on Steam. I...

    Resident Evil: Retribution Teaser Subtly Promotes Sony Gear

    That was painful to watch. Also, I don't think Sony technology is quite worthy of Tron music. I can't live inside my PS3 (yet).
