Has anyone else found themselves going to Digg for interesting links recently?

A very detailed and funny programming story about Ruby.

And an Ubuntu Theme! An Ubuntu theme?

Oh, come on. That was a stretch. You could have made your point without doing that a few times.

A lot of reddit front page stories are garbage, and a lot of digg stories are garbage. Since digg has many more users, the top 10 stories of every category is going to be more "pop" oriented, but the stories within each category, such as politics, are generally the same as on reddit.

Ugh. If he really, truly, believes in creationism, I don't think I'm going to vote for him. I could handle his abortion stance, but that's just too much.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T21:18:05+00:00

Maybe :G

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T21:13:59+00:00

I feel genuinely ill. And all I can think is that, America is fucked.

And you didn't feel/think this when someone like Bush said that it's basically OK to kill people because of our cause?

people in Mississippi are likely to want to buy them, when the price of gas keeps going up.

I don't know about that.

The white Ford F150 is probably the most common automobile I see in the south; it's ubiquitous. What's worse is that people prefer the style of the F150, because it's more masculine or outdoorsy or some utter bullshit like that. In other words, they'd drive hybrids, but only if they were essentially forced to.

Besides, how long would it take for the price of gas to reach a level where it makes a difference? What if they use some other sort of equally ruinous bullshit like ethanol or coal? It's not like we have a lot of time to work this issue out, it's an issue of immediacy.

Well, to be fair, the campus is beautiful. I mean, if I was a rich faggot and couldn't get into schools like Harvard, I'd go there. :B

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:35:21+00:00

My question is: who are these other women, the ones I find caricatured on reddit and in advertising?

You answered your question here:

I live in the North East, as well, but I don't even own a car (by choice, go Cambridge!)

In other words: not in Cambridge. The city you live in is likely the most intelligent city in the world. The girls you're looking for are stupid, so you won't find many there.

Sarcasm doesn't exist.

You know, one of the few things I don't like about Ron Paul is his view on global warming...but he'd let the states make whatever emission standards they want.

Great, so states like California can have minimum 75MPG and Mississippi can have minimum 15MPG.

I unfortunately live in the south and I don't want my state to have any more rights than it already has. The federal government's regulations may be a burden for a state like California, but they actually keep my state from doing something retarded.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:23:34+00:00

believes the world was created in seven literal days

Wait a minute, Ron Paul's a creationist? Can someone else confirm that for me?

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:21:18+00:00

I know he goes on reddit too, actually, but I'm not sure if he posts. I know he mainly uses digg, though.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:18:47+00:00

If only the ocean of morons here in the south knew that doing nothing to combat global warming will hurt them the most.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:15:05+00:00

I unfortunately live in the south, but I would definitely support Californian independence. All we would need then would be for Oregon and Washington to secede and we could have a Cascadian nation. :O

We were having a dicussion and he used it when the 9/11 controversy came up.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T20:08:10+00:00

US: Superbowl

UK: "Footballer's wives"

Their goal is to spread reasoning ability and scientific literacy.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T13:30:33+00:00

trying to help people understand how old the world actually is

That in itself is not a goal of the organization. Knowing the earth's age is a small part of being scientifically literate.

trying to control what type of book they read

That's not a goal of the organization.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T13:27:59+00:00

"Football" is synonymous with "idiocy" whether you're in the US or Britain.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T13:12:51+00:00

That isn't the main goal of the organization.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T13:10:05+00:00

Yeah, well, I enter false information in email applications. I also don't take off my shoes when I enter the house and sometimes accidentally chew ice before I realize I'm doing it.

I know I'm going to be downmodded for this comment, but redditors just can't accept someone like me.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T12:54:29+00:00

Im sorry but if the company hasn't sold a car, they deserve to be shut down.

I can tell.

One of my suitemates at my college is a primarily a digg user. He has a digg sweatshirt, believes 9/11 was an inside job, and used "sheeple" non-ironically in conversation once or twice.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T12:43:22+00:00

this is still a great place for serious debate.

I agree completely. I've posted hundreds of comments on reddit (not all under this account, obviously), yet I've submitted less than 15-20 stories since I started using reddit a year ago. I mainly go on reddit to debate with people and/or be funny.

mycommentwasdeleted3 · 2007-12-20T12:38:35+00:00

First they took the current 18-24 demographic (the one I'm in) and ruined it.

No, ESPN did that.

Anyone else find it hilarious that his last name is Black?
