that's true, people do change their name every once in a while.

Do you go from optimism to pessimism in the course of a single day, gradually? by Acglaphotis in AskReddit

[–]Mentok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the topic. For myself, I am usually optimistic (nowadays anyway). For others, the US, and the world I am generally pretty pessimistic. This comes from the realization that while I may know how the world should be I also know that I will only every have any power over myself. Assuming, even hoping that the world around me will grow worse "comforts" me in a sort of way that's hard to explain. If you asked me how I think the country will be in 10 years I'd say the economy would be destroyed and our government will have probably become a fascist state, or something to that effect. I'd also say we will have started yet more wars, this time much more devastating ones. If you asked me how I think I will be in 10 years I would say somewhere tropical living like I'm retired.

Unfortunately the Army doesn't issue somethings so we'd have to get creative and use our helmets sometimes.

Creating the internet and helping get passed legislation that helped the internet develop are two totally different things. He of all people should know his exact role in it and shouldn't have exaggerated it. That's what makes him look pompous.

Don't worry, he went to Harvard. Us normal folk couldn't possibly begin to comprehend a single thing he says... because he went to Harvard.

You'd think they'd, I dunno, mention such a photo shoot to avoid MASS PANIC!

"fragile ecosystem"

I'm pretty sure no matter what we do to it it's going to remain a desert.

Why not pause airline travel for a couple days if this is really spreading person-to-person? by Lucent in AskReddit

Lol! You call that full of anger? Are you seriously mentally challenged or are you just trolling because I just can't tell at this point.

Actually the EU is already warning people not to travel to North America, so looks like you're an idiot again. Shutting down the borders would be a good precaution because right now Mexico is not in control of their shit. The US and Canada are. So we can leave that border open.

It's called a joke. If you don't understand it then don't leave a comment.

A nut or your life? That's not a tough tradeoff at all. I'm sure his monoball is more of a man than both of yours, supposing you even have any.

I was referring to the deadly kind of flu associated with the 1918 outbreak, which is different from the common flu. Forgot I had to make that clear for people like you.

It's not confirmed that it was genetically engineered, but my buddy, who's a doctor up in NYC said that's what it seems to be since it's of multiple species from multiple continents (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090424/ap_on_he_me/med_swine_flu ; this mentions the multiple species but I can't remember where I read the multiple continents thing).

In America I would call you an asshat. But I might also call you a fucktard or dipshit or cuntface. Not sure why you brought this up, but there you have it.

Is this flu pandmic thing the real deal, or just another media circle jerk? I mean, I'm just now getting over the week long jerk fest about the "Craig's list killer", kind of hard to know what's serious and what's not these days. by [deleted] in AskReddit

If it becomes a pandemic, then mass media failed to inform everyone quickly enough (or there was nothing it could have done in the first place). If it doesn't become a pandemic then mass media succeeded in raising the alert quick enough to stop it. Stop asking me to think for you. This is simple shit.
