I miss the "fuck you" to the forum to. Mainly because that blurry mess was more appealing to look at than my hideous visage.

No reprimand. I'm just generally bitching. Personally, I don't give a shit if they're in spoilers or not. I just thought it was the point of making a second thread for this. I can't say I've ever used that function. Way ahead of you there (by about 3 years). :smoker:

I thought the point of starting a second "what are you listening to" thread was to use spoiler tags to reduce the lag from all of the videos on here? Anyway, I've been listening to Lowkey a lot the past few days (very political music, so be warned if that kind of stuff offends your...

The report was supposed to be 5-8 pages long. Mine is 12 pages long. I'll post my report in a couple weeks after grades are in on the off chance my professor runs a program to see if it was plagiarized. Once again, thanks to the people who gave answers.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm currently writing the paper up. You can consider this thread open to whatever other discussions people want to have.

Either way is fine.

I have to write a paper for my online cultural anthropology class and I've decided to write it about the culture of INTP forum (lucky all of you). So, in order to get a wider range of views on the subject, I'm going to ask you all some questions. Keep in mind that these questions are concerning...

I suppose I can follow up my last post with a little more explanation lest my lame (gay?) attempt at irony get lost on people. Why is the word 'gay' being singled out here? Why not ask to make all taboo words (generally racial, homophobic, and sexist slurs) un-taboo? What makes 'gay' less...

Calling people gay is a really nigger thing to do. I wish those crybaby kikes would just shut their spic mouths.

I wonder if a new genre is like a new color: something completely novel will never be seen, only mixtures of already existing ones.

I don't think talking about Twilight in isolation is the best way to understand why Twilight became a phenomena the way it did. The question is: why did vampires go from unquestionably evil enemies of humanity to misunderstood Byronic heroes? This video is a good (and funny) introduction to...

Fe is a transition metal produced during the silicon burning process in stars with about 10 solar masses at a minimum of 2.7 billion kelvin. Fe is the last element to release energy during nuclear fusion and is therefore a decent indicator for a star near death. Fe is about 55.85 grams per mole...

People Under the Stairs: Astronautalis: Immortal Technique:

I've only seen the first season so far (waiting for some slow friends to catch up to watch the rest) and I'd say Eddard Stark* seemed like the only one I'd say could fit the description of a "good guy" (and maybe Daenerys, even though she got pretty bad-guy-like bloodthirsty when she started to...

I'm not sure how to define weird. Does this mean statistical outliers in the lifestyles of individuals popularly portrayed in the media (in my case, American media)? In that case, I have no friends that fit this description. However, I do have quite a few close acquaintances (although I...

Would you rather deal with someone that has Alexithymia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexithymia

1. People will be making predictions that probably won't come true. It won't stop them from making more predictions and rationalizing why their wrong ones didn't happen the way they thought. 2. No matter how much technology we have, the next thing will always sound like it's going too far for...

First question: I think that who we are changes in degrees. I'm more the person I was yesterday than I was two days ago, and I'm more the person I was two days ago than I was three days ago etc. There is no clear cut off point, but I would say that I'm almost 100% a different person than I was...

I disagree.

Khan Academy. I'd gay marry Salman Khan, too.

This thread has degraded into something akin to a youtube comments section. Congratulations on "winning" the discussion?

I will admit, the sound leaves me with a certain mildly disconcerted feeling, but I wouldn't say that it makes me high. I might have to do some more experimenting with other tracks in the future. For now, though, I'm going with my third conclusion.

That's not mean. Here's mean: I mock your value system. Past instances in which I have expressed fondness for you have been fraudulent.

Are you fucking serious? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PZcgUEkBIX0 I looked for some of this 'music' on youtube, but all I found was reaction videos. I ended up coming upon a website that was attempting to hock this shit for anywhere from $6.50 to $199.95. So I did...

I'm becoming more and more convinced that my supplement taking is another symptom of my OCD that seems to have become more severe in the past couple years. I have two drawers on my chest of drawers full of supplement bottles (including a few redundancies for the sake of stockpiling). I take many...

Does anyone else here who claims to have OCD ever get a disturbing thought in their head, not just picturing an event but actually feeling and almost experiencing it, that they can't escape, no matter what you do or how hard you try? Does this thought invade your mind and intrude on everything...

I have Tourette syndrome with comorbid OCD. I'm not sure OCD is the same as over-analysis, unless you mean over-analysis in the sense of analyzing a bump you hit in the road so deeply that you almost have an anxiety attack until you turn the car around and go back to look to make sure you...

My cancer milk has 12 essential vitamins and minerals including antioxidants vitamin Q, Y, and &. The FDA told me those things aren't things so they can't regulate it, which is as good as their approval to me.

Thanks bro, I'll take your advice under advisement. Gotta keep my pimp hand strong, even if it has pimp carpal tunnel syndrome.

You used to love the lumps. What's wrong with my lumps? That's your problem, because I'm hard as long division right now.

Quit being so negative. I love this site, too. I love it so much that I can't bear to have it leave me. The site says it loves me back, but sometimes the site likes to hang out with it's friends instead of me. If the site truly loved me, it would spend more time with me than with it's old...

We can try inserting it through the other end so that the tip is in the oral cavity and the "milk" can drain into your mouth. The rinse part only happens if the Bah Humbug part doesn't. I thought Blobisms were as widespread as American obesity, and equally as sexy.

Yes, it's me. Now grab me a smoke and come breast feed, these things are getting sore.

As a forum elder, it's customary for new people to allow themselves to be molested and fondled by me. I require that you dress up like a sexy Santa Claus and have your scrotum pierced 6 times (I'm very anal about this exact number of piercings, pun intended). Also, as a forum elder, I have the...

Eh? I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Here's a scenario for three geniuses if we 'mitigate unfairness'. All three go to a school with the same curriculum that attempts to teach them the 'correct' way to think, and because it would be unfair to give them an advantage (and useless to do so anyway) they have to be taught watered...

The replies are long and my time is very short, so this will be more brief that I would like and I probably won't be able to address everything. No, my answer to the question "why must life be unfair" was because the notion of creating fairness (or 'mitigating unfairness' using any sort of top...

I did read the reply Guess referred to. I'm addressing the statement "Why this must be the case has not been addressed" in regards to the burden of social status. From a logistical point of view, the unfairness of socioeconomic disparity would be preferable to what would be required to engineer...

The implications of engineering a society in which everything is fair seems 1) philosophically dubious and 2) logistically impossible. 1) As I stated before, redistributing money (or any sort of goods) would require taking them from other people or otherwise coercing them into giving up the...

You don't know why this is the case? Perhaps the phrase has become so cliche as to be meaningless: life isn't fair. Here's the problem: in order for humans to engineer fairness, there must be a centralized group of people, with their own agendas and special interests, to govern the...

There, I've changed my picture. I am no longer obscured by the blurriness of my mid 1990's webcam and I am no longer pictorially signaling "fuck you" to the forum.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Gas exchange in the lungs has to do with partial pressures of the gases. If we assume someone is at atmospheric pressure, then the lungs would be at equilibrium with the atmosphere at 760 mm Hg. When you breath in, you have pressure in the lungs (~763 mm...

Because I want to get paid for tasting delicious cookies but I'm not and it's unfair.

My face is a twisted mockery of symmetry, bone structure and skin tone. My body is a perversion of the human form. I have a smile that causes the sun to dim whenever I wear it. My mother always wears a sweater, because after giving birth to me, she will never feel warm again.

The problem with that is it makes it seems like reduced jaw size caused larger brains. It's more likely that increasing brain size would favor offspring with smaller jaw muscles (and therefore smaller bones in the skull) than smaller jaw muscles favoring offspring with a larger brain. Larger...

A good possibility is that as the human brain evolved to become larger, the jaw muscles became smaller to make way for a larger skull while still allowing the head to fit through the birth canal and not be so heavy as to strain the neck: As the skull became smaller, the mouth became smaller...

Try multiplying by the conjugate over the conjugate and then by (1/X)/(1/X). If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this video (specifically the second problem).

True, but not the pedantics way! I'd be interested in seeing research on that. I think you're confusing polyamory with being an easy lay. Being polyamorous doesn't mean someone is promiscuous. Divorce rates would say otherwise. See above. So by this logic, having just one friend would be...

Mixing Greek and Latin roots is wrong? Someone should tell the anatomists. Polyamory, multiamory, or polyphilia, no matter what you call it, I think it's fine. Coercing someone into monogamy, either physically or emotionally, is wrong. A bit of my own nitpick, though: polyamory (or whatever...

Intake of sugar causing increases serotonin levels may be getting the cause-effect backwards. Serotonin is involved in carbohydrate metabolism. SSRI's have been known to increase carbohydrate cravings and cause people to gain weight. The point here being that increasing serotonin may cause...
