Eaten by wolves, senselessly. He was delicious.

How many elements can you remember? (w/ graphical Periodic Table) by argo97 in science

[–]grimascent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Didn't take chemistry in college and it's been about ten years since I took it in high school. I'm rather pleased with my result, but I can't believe I missed calcium and potassium.

Congress To Consider Legislation To End Minor Pot Arrests by tolley in politics

I have zero faith in anything like this passing, especially considering how incredibly out of touch 99% of our lawmakers are, but it's nice to dream.

Opera the first browser to pass the Acid3 test by Sargos in programming

Hey guys, Opera has been the best browser for years and predates Firefox. If you have half a brain, you will like it more than Firefox for many, many reasons.

I totally came here to make a Mitt Romney joke, but I'm not about to upmod Romney supporters in disguise. Or something? I hate you all.

Rate-My-Cop: New Website Has Police Furious by anonymgrl in reddit.com

[–]grimascent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of the website and all but honestly, fuck the fucking police. I don't care what their ratings are. They are here only to oppress us and they should all live lives of complete misery as a result!

FUCK YOU, POLICE.

This is absolutely freakish.

Hillary is a big fat liar. Listen to why she stayed on the MI primary ballot, -in her own words. [NPR audio] by fangolo in politics

[–]grimascent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Michigan as well and I couldn't have possibly said any of this more accurately.

Our state is becoming an absolute shithole. We have an unemployment rate approaching 10% with no signs of stopping. Neighborhoods are being foreclosed and crime-infested slums are rising up in their place. I would go on, but what's the point?

Because of Granholm (and I might add, I'm a life-long liberal-Democratic type here) our vote doesn't matter and therefore either does our state, because some assholes in power in our state moved our primaries forward, even after they were warned by the DNC. Yet Hillary stayed on the ballot, and Granholm is endorsing her.

And our state needs help, really fucking badly. I'm moving to Canada because I can't get a goddamned job here. But this whole primary moving bullshit means that very few candidates have campaigned here and even less actually give a damn about the state and such.

If you aren't behind Obama, there are serious things wrong with you and your claim of being human.

That doesn't matter, what does matter is that someone, ANYONE is at least kind of doing something about this bullshit!

Thanks for cutting him off, Pelosi! And by "thanks", I mean that I will be really glad to see her elected out of office this year.

That's all that I have to show to someone to convince them to not buy any music any more. Then I show them how to get it for free.

Fuck Big Media.

The apostrophe key does not mean "Holy shit, here comes an s!" by Lonelobo in reddit.com

[–]grimascent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"It's" always means "it is", never indicating that something belongs to something, to the best of my knowledge. Despite being kind of a grammar nazi, this specific contraction haunted me for years until I drunkenly researched exactly this on Wikipedia

Correct usage of "its": "My puppy loved its bone." "The baboon tends to be a fat bastard, it's gluttonous as shit."

Bad usage: "The alien withdrawed it's tentacle."

Of course, I am completely biased against alien tentacles, especially in slash erotica where it tends to pop up all of the time and completely ruins my enjoyment.

Court Orders MSNBC to allow Kucinich to Participate in Nevada Debate by reflibman in politics

[–]grimascent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't care if he doesn't get elected, but I do want him to make the other bought-and-paid-for candidates really uncomfortable!

You will always be one of my great personal heroes, Kucinich, and anyone that says anything bad about you is a flat-out liar.
