And that my friends, is why I don't play online games.

Because there is nothing fun about playing with a bunch of dicks who find humour in relentlessly killing the weak.

Bah and humbug.

Give me single player, or give me death

For those who hate Christmas Carols

HollywoodBob says...

>> ^Xax:
I don't really get disliking Christmas music. Unless your dog died on Christmas when you were 8 or something.


It's not only that we don't like Christmas music, because the vast majority of it is just so terrible, but that you can't escape it. Where I live there are several radio stations that play NOTHING but Christmas music from All Saints Day through New Years Eve. Within the first 40 minutes they've played every even mildly tolerable song. The radio though I don't care so much about because I simply don't listen to it, but you can't go into a single store without being assaulted by Christmas muzak, Salvation Army bell ringers (FUCKING STOP RINGING THAT GODDAMNNED BELL!!!!), and dancing Santas playing a lousy rendition of "Rockin around the Christmas tree" through a tinny shitty little speaker in their base.

BAH! Humbug!

I think it's a pity they didn't visit is more regularly. Really, between the first and the second you've got 'those that feed on flesh' vs 'those that don't'

Would have been good to see it in weekly or at least monthly increments. Oh sure, there's that whole 'cost' thing to be concerned with... bah and humbug!

Will a HighTech channel overlap too much with the Geek channel? (User Poll by Duckman33)

gwiz665 says...

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH DEMOCRACY!

I would like to see some pruning in the channels as well, but it seems like a frivolous denial of this one, as it could easily be fixed by a re-definition of geek and a proper definition of tech.

Bah, humbug.

Overpopulation: The Making of a Myth

spoco2 says...

They're running on some very simplistic logic.

They have the maths as to how they can claim that everyone can fit into a landmass the size of texas, and it holds out if every single house was butt up against each other and there were no roads, parks, transport etc.

So... yeah, you could fit everyone into a space that big.

BUT, the threat of overpopulation is NOT the issue of there being enough space for houses, it's the amount of waste, polution and resources that number of people use.

Pushing out trite figures like being able to fit into Texas will WORK... people will go 'Gee, look at all the rest of the world that's vacant, what are we worried about... COOOONSSSUUUUUME!' It's completely ignoring the real problem with having that many people... it's not about places to Live, it's about keeping that many people alive.

So, let's see who is behind this shite.

The website is http://overpopulationisamyth.com

Which is put out by the 'Population Research Institute' Which... on going there has this as a news point "Obama Bill Bad: Health-care bill very, very bad for pro-lifers"

Ooooh, we're talking a bunch of anti abortionists here... Basically they're all against abortion and population control and all for popping out babies all over the place. They're trying to suggest that the belief in overpopulation is causing mass, brutal and forceful removal of human rights... blah blah blah.

They have a serious chip on their shoulder about abortion, and that's where all of this stems from. Their thinking is that if people don't believe there's any issue with the population of the world, then somehow that'll mean that everyone will say that abortions should be gotten rid of too.

Bah and friggen humbug.

===

Now...

I can hardly talk on the population control front. I just had my fourth and last child (snipped now), so myself and my wife have doubled our footprint. Which is kinda, well... wrong I guess. Although I can justify it somewhat saying that we're raising them in a very eco conscious way. And hopefully that by having them and others like them be more proactive on the front of installing solar power on every home possible, reusing water, having raintanks, having a compost, not being wasteful etc. etc. Well, maybe that'll make more of a positive impact... but really I'm clutching at straws.

Fascist Cops engage in hi-speed pursuit of Seven-year-old.

spoco2 says...

Oh I see what you did there with the title and the description and the Maaaavin flaaaavin... Waaay.

I could see a number of the people on the sift calling the cop fascist though, they seem to think that any cop doing bloody anything is The Man getting Down on innocent citizens.

Bah and humbug

Amazing Choir uses hands to create a thunderstorm

thepinky says...

Bah! Humbug!

Out of tune! Ear carnage! There are much better choral performances that can't even get sifted. I want to downvote on principle, but I'm trying to resist.

The rainstorm part is cool, but I've seen choirs do similar things many times. It's not all that inventive. The thunder was very well done, though.

>> ^highdileeho:
I know I'm gonna sound like a downer, but when you do this next year can you please pick up after yourselves!? There was garbage, feathers, and pillows strewn all over. It was a sad mess, And i woudn't be suprised if the city tries to shut it down next year. good riddance and baah humbug.


Meh, big outdoor concerts also generate rubbish. City staff come around clean up after big outdoor events. Closing footage of the Obama inauguration showed a bunch of litter around too. Just get the Greenpeace times to get involved in hoovering it up afterwards or something, rather than just crying "KILL THE LOVE."
