    If your college roommate snores, shouldn't they be the one who has to move?

    Here's the deal: I'm in a 4 room apartment and one of the other people living here snores like a power tool. Despite being in completely separate rooms, it is near impossible for me to sleep with him snoring. I have tried basically every solution in the book, but I've ended up losing nearly 2...

    How are/were your 20s?

    I'm in my twenties; Life is a huge existential mystery. I want to be a professional. I want to be an accomplished, wealthy person. These wants are hindered by my fears that, as I sadly discovered, I am not as smart or competent as I had imagined when I was younger. The entire game you...

    On Rape Jokes and Sensitivity

    On this topic, here's what I don't understand. In a perfect world, a woman walking naked down the street shouldn't be blamed for getting raped. Unfortunately, dressing in a sexual manner attracts attention that can be very bad. Going to a party and getting drunk around people who you...

    How Does Xbox One's Software Sale Structure Benefit Consumers?

    Here's what I don't get: Digital copies of games are cheaper than hard copies because the costs of disks, packaging, and shipping are removed. PlayStation has downloadable games. Where do we, as consumers, see savings if Xbox One will still sell hard copies of games? How do the...

    People are bitching way too much about the XBONE

    Half of the games on the Xbox's list aren't even going to be available at launch. If we compare the exclusives titles available for preorder off of GameStop (which hints at a reasonable timeline for release): Xbox One, 1. Dead Rising 3 2. Ryse 3. Forza 5 PS4, 1. Drive Club 2...

    Pizza is apparently serious business, more than any other food it seems.

    I'd guess it's because pizza is something people eat as a group so whoever bitches the most gets the pizza they want while everyone else who doesn't care just eats whatever gets ordered. I'd say the most critical factor in pizza quality is when you order. Most places aren't run well enough...

    How honest would you be in this sort of situation?

    I went to Applebee's with a few guys who were back on campus for the weekend after they'd gone for training in the military. It was veteran's day so they got free meals. Since I had my head shaved, they assumed I was one of the guys in the group who was in the military as well. I didn't get...

    Ps4 vs Xbox 720

    I want the system with the best graphical capabilities. I assume both companies will have plenty of exclusives this time around. Since I don't care about all of the silly features and gimmicks both seem to believe people want in their gaming consoles, my choice will be entirely on which one...

    Having an Open but Critical Mind. RE: Atlas Shrugged

    I think the problem lies in people believing that their personal conclusions are universal truths rather than subjective interpretations. Honestly, I don't mind if people hold certain values or ways of thinking despite large amounts of contradictory "evidence". I only get frustrated when they...

    Why illegalizing guns will not work in the U.S

    So we have: 1. People will kill people anyway. Probably with guns they get illegally, regardless of what laws are passed. 2. But it's possible that less availability of guns would prevent those who were on the border between commiting a mass murder and being too intimidated by gun control...

    Poll: Do you automatically respect people in the military?

    I'd take it on a case by case basis. If you went and fought a war that directly stopped the way I love to live from being threatened, I'd buy you a few beers and give you a friend for the evening. Hell, maybe even dinner. If you're one of those dipshits who went into the military because you...

    Something for nothing!

    There should be a system that lets people on lower wages communicate with each other and setup housing/transportation arrangements. I know you can live on minimum wage - you simply need to share costs. I'm talking even bulk meals, etc. It's not that hard on paper. There's just a lack of...

    Where are all these "stupid people" that supposedly exist?

    You need to be somewhere that exposes you to a large sample of the population. Working at a superstore, I would definitely say the average person is stupid. It's not a matter of academic intelligence. For example, the number of people who leave things in their cart rather than putting them on...
