Zero Punctuation: Top 5 of 2011

I must say i agree with him on BF3. I think i played BF2 about 400-500 hours. BF3 i've done less than 30 and im bored of it already.
Also the DRM, origin service, and web game lobby are all total bobwank.


I've had exactly the opposite experience...I have something like 90ish hours in BF2, but I have thusfar invested 96 hours in BF3...and at this rate I don't see myself getting tired of it for another 100-200. I'm curious as to your falling out with BF3...level design? For me Caspian Border and Grand Bazaar are as good as anything I played in BF2...and now we have the best of BF2 IN BF3.

Is it the change in physics? Can't dolphin dive? Can't spin like a top when prone?

I'm frustrated with the crashes, and they cannot be forgiven for that, but when it works, it provides me some of the most satisfying gameplay. But I'll admit...I know I have fun with it because I'm good at it. KD: 1.19, WL: 1.62, SPM: >380, and I finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in over 1/4 of my rounds.

The "Amazing Glass Of Water Science Stunt"

heathen says...

The first part where the paper keeps the water in is true, provided no air can enter the glass the water can't fall out.

The second part where the water stays in after the paper is removed is fake, normally achieved by a transparent plastic disc (the size of the mouth of the glass) being lifted into place at the same time as the paper.

I got tired of marc maron years ago, listening to his air america morning show.

>> ^spoco2:

Oh man, I've been listening to WTF a fair bit lately, but yeah, Marc definitely has that 'think how everything relates back to me and how the world observes me.
If I hear him say how he was the doorman at the damn comedy club one more time to a guest. WE GET IT, you've been around for a long time. You're not super famous, get the FUCK over it.
It's the perfect recipe for self loathing and misery... always thinking about yourself rather than others. It's very much what Stephen Fry says in regards to the 'I Mode'... listen to others, be interested in others. Get out of YOUR HEAD and focus on doing things and making yourself and others happy by not whinging about what is wrong, but celebrating what is right.
>> ^rottenseed:
BTW, I started getting annoyed with Marc Maron. He comes off as a self-important sycophant to me. I think it's because he hates himself so much...>> ^kymbos:
I'm a bit sad to say I'm slowly falling out of love with Louis and Marc Maron. I'm not sure what to do about it.
Dave Chappelle, please start a twice weekly podcast, I'm begging you!

I always want to give people like that what they want and threaten them in the back of a 7-11 with a Gun like in Fight Club.

Over-exposure. And you're doing it to yourself. Check out Patton Oswalt, Bill Burr, Jim Norton, Jamie Kilstein, Jim Jeffries, Brian Regan, Eugene Mirman, David Cross, Bob Kelly, John Mulaney, Michael Ian Black, Mike Birbiglia, etc.

I know you probably know most of these guys, but I just wanted to remind you that they exist...enjoy their comedy for a while. Sprinkle some Louis in there.

Senator Exposes Republican "License to Bully" Bill

shinyblurry says...

You might want to read it more carefully:

"Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick identifies a continuum between homosociality and homosexuality, going as far as correlating feminism and lesbian desire: 'it is precisely this broad spectrum of women's homosocial loyalties that Adrienne Rich has referred to and celebrated as the "lesbian continuum"

and the connection from the other article:

7th century BC as an aspect of Greek homosocial culture,[5] which was characterized also by athletic and artistic nudity, delayed marriage for aristocrats, symposia, and the social seclusion of women.[6] The influence of pederasty was so pervasive that it has been called "the principal cultural model for free relationships between citizens."[7]"

There is a casaul relationship between the two, and the normalization of these kinds of behaviors led to the pederast society documented in greece

It would be easier than getting rid of government schools.



"In Classical times there appears a note of concern that the institution of pederasty might give rise to a "morbid condition", adult homosexuality, that today's eromenos may become tomorrow's kinaidos, defined as the passive or "penetrated" partner."
Are you referring to this? Would you mind reading BOTH of these articles about the topic?
Would you please mind explaning where - by the power of the everlasting dragon hunting, snake exploding jeesus - you think there is any FACT of the correlation you were implying?
Let me help you with the reading part: "Homosociality, by definition, implies neither heterosexuality nor homosexuality."
Please help me with this?

quantumushroom says...

I don't condone bullying of any kind.

Nor do I, but you know what? Bullying still exists and must be dealt with, and this bullshit trendy law ain't doing it.

However, as Dan Savage has said repeatedly, the difference with gay kids is that they often go home to bullying, they go to church and are bullied. They are often thrown out onto the streets by their parents because they are gay.

It's sad and it's true, but an anti-bullying law at a government school isn't going to change it.

Asian kids don't face that. They go home to a place where it is safe to be Asian.

Safe to be Asian but maybe not to be a 'failure' with bad grades? And again, what law is supposed to measure suffering?


I think I am going to have to take a break from you, Q. I know you think you are "right", but lately it has gotten to be too much for me.


I am right. Everyone here believes they are right. I am just more right more of the time.

Catch you on the rebound.

Oh, I answered your other post. It'll be waiting for you when you get back.

The data comes from a 2009 survey supported by the US Justice Department and Education Department which interviewed some 6,500 students from ages 12 to 18. Asian Americans are generally defined as tracing ancestry to East Asia, the Indian subcontinent or the South Pacific.

Argue that these guys are 'stupid'. And while you're at it, where's your statistical counter-proof that you know what the fuck YOU'RE talking about?

I think the left is concerned with Bullying in all forms. This bill however doesn't say "You can bully asians kids if you're bad at math" it's giving an out for people who want to beat up gay kids.
Bullying is wrong, as you pointed out. How could you disagree with bullying is wrong unless you've got a REALLY GOOD (Religious) Reason?
EDIT: Also you're actually wrong, anyone who's taking a statistics class can see that those numbers are incorrect. So not only were you wrong in principle, you're wrong on the facts. Thanks again for proving how stupid you are.
