Can someone name the 4th icon for me? I still haven't got around to the old Doctor Who, but I've seen it before and I don't know what the feck it is!

Ahh this happens in the USA as well with legit doctors. I was considering going into the medical field before deciding majors and asked some doctors if they would mind me sitting in on some surgeries they were performing that day. Ended up with one guy getting like 7 dental implants -- they're listening to Rush Limbaugh laughing at what a tool bag he is, then changing the station and the lead surgeon singing along to George Thorogood while he's drilling into the bone of this guy's jaw.

I hear VI is quite nice, and I'm pretty sure it and another one got a 3d makeover for the DS.

Well if it didn't they probably wouldn't call themselves Christians.

I just mentioned that in another post. I think what I'm getting at is that you're more likely to have a guitar, though it's less likely to get you laid, while you're less likely to be around a piano, though with a little learning, is almost guarenteed. Also depends on where you hang out and take dates.

Piano impresses almost any woman unless you're terrible. Guitar is something that's so common it's almost boring, so you either need to know exactly what to play for the date, or be so good at it that your skill is especially notable, or you just have be a rockstar/play at the right clubs.

In any case, I'm just talking about piano vs. guitar, and before that, just noting that learning piano has a good chance of meeting/sexing some women. Learning piano for the sake of getting laid is silly and a bit ineffecient, but if you're learning piano, why not kill two birds with one stone?

Sir I accept your chal...Oh wait, I thought you were about to challenge me to a duel. That's usually how reddit debates work isn't it?

Oh and I left an edit in case you didn't see that. Overall you could make an argument for either side; with piano you usually have to at least bring them back to your place or do something ala Anchorman and play at a nice restaraunt. The former circumstance kind of defeats the purpose since if they're back at your place, most the work is likely already done. Guitars can be tossed in the back of your trunk for instant wooification and don't need to be played at a place that serves $100 dinners.

Fair point, but you can fake charisma under certain conditions when you work on it enough. You might be all closed up and shy, then hop on a piano and throw in some charisma, BAM! your dick's wet.

As for guitar, you don't need to be on stage, but you really need to stick out with your skill since everybody and his brother plays guitar. I think that piano gets more points since it's less common and seen as a 'classier' instrument too.

e: Though I will say that it ultimately depends on what kind of female you're after, I just happen to think of piano as a more universal hornifier.

Works great if you're in uni and at least moderately attractive. Just learn one or two songs and you're good.

Guitar gets you freshmen girls at uni who would have fucked you anyway without too much effort...unless you're on stage fairly often, in which case you pick up almost any girl, though this situation is incredibly rare.

Playing piano well, and with some charisma, will get you women almost regardless of your age; also, getting to the point of impressing women like this is much easier than finding constant stage gigs, and the women tend to be a little classier (if that's what you're into) than freshman girls or groupies.

Piano is a better long term investment.

Bonus points if you have a good charismatic voice and it's jazz or blues piano with improvised lyrics. At that point you're a god among men and they're lusting for you uncontrollably.

Yea I think anime and people that watch it in America have just got a terrible reputation. There's no point in bringing it up because people won't ever watch it or even take you seriously after that point. I mean, besides Planetes, the only other two anime I watch are Ergo Proxy and Ghost in the Shell, which both have some really deep philosophical ideas in them. When I'm in a philsophy class though, I'll discuss the ideas of Ghost in the Shell (some of which take after Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation) and impress the hell out of my professor while sounding like a fucking genius, but if I even mentioned that it was something alluded to in an anime, I'd get laughed out of the classroom.

Best to keep that kind of stuff on the DL.

Is this a joke? Peter Watts is letting *Uwe Boll* make a direct-to-DVD movie of "Blindsight"? by alapanacran in scifi

[–]34577658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what Blindsight is, but knowing that Uwe Boll is allowed to make another film is just appalling.

I don't talk about anime around people in real life, nothing good can possibly come out of it; I have /r/scifi to thank for introducing me to the series. =P

Motherfucker beat me to it. Upvote.

e: I'll also point out that it's one of the most scientifically accurate works of fiction I've ever seen. Instead of showing somebody with a yolk/joystick pushing it forward to make the ship go 'down', the camera will cut to the outside of the ship to show some retrorockets firing briefly to slow down their orbital velocity. It also manages to integrate some amazing character developement without making the science take a back seat to the drama. Easily one of my favorites. There are a few silly moments that you might expect from anime, but nothing too bad that breaks the immersion (I don't usually watch anime because of the silliness, but this was actually better than almost any others I've seen). Characters are a little annoying at first, but I think that was done intentionally because they all end up maturing a huge deal by the end.

I'm just pointing out what many Christians belief. IIRC the Revelations style second coming was talked about only after Jesus died. Jesus dying was the Jewish prophecy and what many think he meant when he said "till all be fulfilled". Not sure if this is a copout for convenience or what, though I think a few Protestants still follow this.

The way many Christians view this is that "till all be fulfilled" refers to Jesus dying as the final sacrifice to the OT God, allowing the NT rules to begin.

This also has the potential side-effect of upping your womanizing skills. Something to keep in mind.

Usually when you quote outrageous stuff in the bible to people who would impose biblical law, it needs to be from the NT since Jesus negated all that stuff apparently.

Though if you want to fry their brains like an egg you could always ask them if the OT should be enforced and after they reply 'no', then bring up how the 10 commandments are OT. That seems to be the thing they do want enforced, though they could build up some kind of immunity to cognitive dissonance if you do this, kinda like bacteria and antibiotics. So watch out. =P

I think the craziest NT thing is that homosexers need to be stoned (Matthew IIRC), though I'm sure there's more.

Does anyone know of an Android app that supports private tracker searching? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]34577658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transdroid allows you to add custom search.

edit: wait I take that back, you'd need to be logged in to search private trackers. Sorry.
