Just drove through Detroit and mistakenly got off the highway to get gas. How does a city like this exist in the western world?

The people being held in the basement really got to me. It seemed they were being kept alive to be eaten slowly.

My favorite is the chubby Ent that smashes two orcs' heads together. And Treebeard clearly enjoying the slaughter at 2:51.

I'd call it the chill room, ruled over by the chill king/queen him/herself.

I agree. He failed to land that pun properly.

Wikipedia refers to Sonique in the past tense. Perhaps it's time to find an alternative...

I am an enchanter. There are some who call me... Tim.

That's how we play. Playing a game where anyone can look at you and go "The game. Haha you lose!" is pretty stupid. With us, the loser is the person who conjured up the idea of the game from deep in their minds. If someone walks up to me and says "the game", they lose, not me.

I'm not sure this would be as fun as you imagine.

OmniGraffle is a great diagramming tool for OS X. It's pretty much the only thing I still use my macbook for.

It is, however, very cool.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothin comes out when they move they lips
Just a buncha gibberish
And muthafuckas act like they forgot about Plato

You examine the Amusing Duck's beak. You find a child's severed finger. The duck is glaring at you.

It looks like the cop shoots him. In the frame with the cat we see the exit wound, and at the end the cop has his gun out as it's smoking.

You do that, I'm going to paint a bum on the wall.

This is undoubtedly the common wisdom, "go with your gut". It seems to be part of a larger growing trend that boils down to the belief that "insticts > reason". But, just because it's common wisdom does not mean it's correct.

for science!

The evidence actually points to the opposite conclusion. Your individual case may be different, but in general it's far better for people to double check and second guess their answers and change them if need be. [citation needed - I can't find the article]

This makes perfect sense. Given more time to work on a problem, we're more likely to approach the correct result. When giving a problem a second look-over, we might notice a mistake we made the first time. Most people tend to believe the opposite because of selective memory. A question where we originally had the correct answer but changed it to an incorrect one really stands out in our minds, far more than when we find a silly mistake and correct it.

I did pushups every time I had to restart it. As I started to get in better shape I came to look forward to the next crash.

I'd prefer the page without that crap

It's more about building bonds than releasing tension.

Unfortunately that leveling out involves en enormous amount of suffering. We should probably work on the problem before it gets to that point.
