When I get off my ass, I'll finally get around to doing a mashup of the LOLCATS and the Oll Kerrect "immigrant"/Yellow Kid speak.

This is good. This is like watching a porno, except I can't see anything, I haven't got a hard-on, and I want to cry.

People who've never read his blog can come at his books without already being sick of the man, and that's critical to being able to enjoy them.

My wife has never read BB, but she did read Little Brother.

Her review of it? OK, but probably would have been better if it were written and released much closer to 9/11; in 2008 it reads like someone's fantasy of 2002.

Re: "bye minya"

I'm the one disappointed with people. It may be a bunch of morons on a website, but I still hold human beings to a certain level of responsibility.

Insulting me was extremely offensive, but the #mefi crowd has sunk at least one level below that. Due to the action of one person, I think they're all scum.

A real man would say, "Take a knife, quonsar, and face Minya to the death." If... [more]

As mentioned, I care not at all about Nader himself, but there is something perpetually disturbing about the ignorance of Nader supporters. Ralph Nader isn't an avatar for liberalism -- quite the contrary. There is an argument in favor of protest votes. There is not an argument in favor of liberal protest votes for Ralph Nader, because he's not liberal.

The Ron Paul thing is less mystifying: if you're a Randian Libertarian whose conception of politics has about all the... [more]

It's sort of astonishing that the least depressing aspect of this thread turned out to be jonmc's dreary, lumpen bleating.

The only conclusion I've got about sexual orientation is that nearly everyone seems to overgeneralize from their own experience.

The bisexuals think everyone is basically bisexual. The devoutly straight or gay folks think everyone has a fixed orientation. The ones who try too hard to be straight think that homosexuality is a temptation that anyone could succumb to. The polyamorists think everyone's poly at heart; the monogamists think nobody is. The flexible think... [more]

This thread needs more cruel mockery of Libertarians. It's a well-known fact that if you put them sufficiently on the defensive, they revert to that pre-adolescent stutter only eliminated after their parents spent thousands of dollars on speech therapy—a particularly humiliating memory for Libertarians, as this eventually led to their parents' divorce.

As in, why are many gay men so hyperfeminized and women hypermasculine? Or maybe the better terms are hyperunmasculine and hyperunfeminine.

Identifying as a homosexual gives you the opportunity to discover or create a sexual identity and social persona based on whatever you are or decide to be. From an early age, in hiding, you reach out into the world around you and absorb influences: who you love, who you want to love you, what you want to do to... [more]
