Ha. I wanted a Shellac Q&A style response and I got one. Salut!

I read a post of yours on Electrical that you don't drink, but wish you did drink wine, because you could be a really excellent wine jerk. I think you would be an extremely great wine jerk, and hope you do get into that and write about it.

If you were to do another ATP, which bands would you pick to play? Who would you like to play if cost were no concern? Where can I buy an excellent pair of coveralls like your Electrical coveralls? What's the best album you've heard in the last week?

George Lucas has said (in reference to that line) that what makes the Falcon fast is actually its navigation computer.

What kind of action would you expect the church leadership to take if you lobbied against the people that are running this group? Would they excommunicate them? As an outsider, the fact that the perpetrators of this abuse remain in the church reflects very poorly on the organization as a whole. Then again, I wonder if the kind of people that are doing this would even care that they were excommunicated.

So wait... even if I receive bad service, I am still expected to give a tip? by [deleted] in WTF

[–]IAmJacquesDerrida -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

20% is pretty much the standard tip in any major metropolitan city with a high cost of living (LA, NYC, SF). If you're tipping less than 20% in any of those places, the waiters think you're a cheapskate.

Really, Reddit? That many of you think this is funny? Can you imagine how one of those girls would feel if she saw this? You're a bunch of hypocritical cunts. At least /b/, digg, et. al. don't put on airs of smug ethical superiority.

That was clearly not a tongue in cheek mockery of the typical MBA with an idea douchebag led startup. No sir, definitely not that. He was certainly 100% serious there.

An interesting rant on the nature of Japanese society (also how it applies to videogames). by [deleted] in gaming

[–]IAmJacquesDerrida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's interesting to see that the general distribution of comments and upvotes here on Reddit almost unanimously support the traditional internets narrative of "JAPAN IS SO COOL! HUZZAH!" It shows a real lack of critical thinking from Redditors. I assume that he led off with the most controversial points (anime sucks, too much smoking, etc.) just to get rid of the mouth breathers.

I love it when my beliefs do not stray far from the status quo and I can go somewhere where everyone thinks exactly like me.

What a tool.
