    Space Janitors: Episode Two

    I am sorry if this is out of place, but I really don't know where else to post this. First off, I would like to make plain that I never watched a single episode of SJs and I really have no idea if you guys are the best or the worst show on web. Please do not take this post as an insult...

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for confirming to me that I'm not losing my mind. Every now and then I start getting this delusions that if I explain stuff logically people will either see my point or point out the flaws in my reasoning. And then guys like sapphireofthesea remind me that...

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    This is because you do not understand what 'evidence' means. Which would be excusable were it not for the fact that, despite your ignorance of this you are trying to teach me what evidence means. Since you have not even bothered to wiki 'evidence' or 'proof', I most certainly will not do that...

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    First of all, I am not a psychology professor, I am a philosophy professor. The only reason that I have mentioned that in my post has been to explain why I care deeply about people making the mistake that I described in my post. The validity of my objection should be judged solely on it's...

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    Disclaimer: The first sentence or the post that follows it is not meant to be baiting. I am a professor of philosophy and this is a sincere statement of my feelings. Some of the views expressed in this video hurt me on a deep emotional level. If it was just one man's views then I wouldn't...

    Any GOOD fanfics out there?

    Draco Malfoy The Amazing Bouncing Rat is one of the funniest books that I have ever read. There is even a short sequel. Favorite quote: "Draco didn't believe in beating around the bush. Just beat the bush. Teach it a lesson."

    The New Shiny Escapist

    That is the first news about the new design that actually makes sense. If the new designed has been conceived as a punishment for all of us freeloaders, then fair play to Escapist and congratulations on the job VERY well done to the design team. I do feel punished. New slogan: "Our content...

    The New Shiny Escapist

    So, I came back to see the new posts. I tried to load the page 16, gave up and read a whole article on Cracked while the thing loaded. Then I clicked on page 17. This time I monitored the tab and figured out that it takes about a 1-2 minutes for A FORUM PAGE to load. Seriously? Anyway, on the...

    The New Shiny Escapist

    Ok,here is my constructive criticism based both on my own opinion and on the comments of other users that I found to be interesting: A) THE LAYOUT In the old design the right side of the screen was reserved for the banners of all ongoing series (videos and webcomics). Each banner had the...

    Sony Hacker Lawsuits Earn the Wrath of Anonymous [UPDATED]

    This is how I see the situation (in the simplest possible terms: Sony is saying to their consumers: "We are a big company with lots of money. We have the law on our side since we are able to lobby much harder then an average consumer. We can sell you a device and then forbid you from using it...

    My Predicament

    Ok, if it were me, between the too options, I would definitely opt for the surgery to repair the valves. Keep in mind that transplant is not much safer then the surgery. Since it is going to happen in a partially random moment in time (when your heart valves start deteriorating), one risk of the...
