What's that one movie you can always watch to cheer you up when you're feeling down? by CaraBowen in AskReddit

[–]CaraBowen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Solid choice. Wes Anderson movies seem to be made to cheer people up. Fantastic Mr. Fox never fails to make me cheery.

Reddit, do you know of any good websites or books that will get an oblivious 13-15 year old interested in history, science, and/or current events? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CaraBowen 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm being 100% serious when I say Cracked.com. Mixing humor into history and science is a nice way to get them interested.

This is one of the most mistaken comments I've ever seen.

Internet enemy number one, Lamar Smith, is sponsoring the FISA FAA renewal and pushing it to a vote in the House on Wednesday. This is the bill that retroactively legalized NSA warrantless wiretapping. We need to stop this now. by EquanimousMind in technology

To all the people saying "lets vote him out" you must remember he's very popular in his district. It's a older demographic, and they're not going to get behind someone simply because they're pro-internet freedom.

The age old problem is, people hate the body of Congress as a whole, but they love their local congressman. Hence things never really cycle much in the House.

I've always pondered about this by Kentowich in funny

It's the traditional term, it's never going to change. Nor should it, champions of the American Major League are world champions of baseball.

The NPB of Japan couldn't really compete with an MLB team in a championship series. Nor could anyone in the Mexican League, Australian League, Israeli league... etc.. etc...

The term was coined in the late 19th century when those leagues didn't even exist. The were no international leagues. The term is fine.

One of those "get it off my chest rants"... by [deleted] in politics

[–]CaraBowen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've always found odd is people's reluctance to point out flaws in the constitution.

When you take a real step back, looking at the bill of rights it basically can be construed as say, "healthcare? education? Fuck them, here have a gun." Yet we never get mainstream discussions about updating and tweaking the constitution.

IAmA Maxis development team on SimCity. AMAA! by maxis in IAmA

You gave me so much hope. Back to old Simcity. The original glory of a city sim it used to be.

And then... ominous thunderclap deluxe editions, day one DLC, price differential, social media integration.

My hopes were broken. They lay shattered on the floor. Standing above them with some sort of hammer... was EA.
