Babies Taught to Save Themselves from Drowning

NetRunner runs and hits the Gold! (Sift Talk Post)

NetRunner says...

Oh my, I never expected this!

I think the sleeper cell description is apt. I've been a lurker here for a loooong time, and only recently started actively participating.

As you guys know, pretty much everything I post is tagged politics. I can't help it, but right now my head is so wrapped up in the things that are happening in the political arena, and I definitely need an outlet for it.

Thinking back, the 'Sift is largely to blame for activating me. After the Iraq war started, I quite deliberately stuck my head in the sand and stopped paying attention to current events -- it was too hard to bear. Then one day in 2006, I found this site, and saw some clips of The Daily Show, and later Keith Olbermann. I started watching them, then watching them religiously, and from there it snowballed.

Now I feel like I spend every moment trying to absorb every bit of information I can find. Most people I know seem blissfully or willfully ignorant of what Bush has turned our country into, and I want to be armed with knowledge in case an opportunity arises to clue them in.

I realize I'm pretty much preaching to the choir here, but I felt it was time to give back to the site that opened my eyes, and share what I find with the rest of you.

I'm starting to feel a little bit like you guys are like a support group for living in this dystopian future we've created for ourselves. I can't help but think as long as places like this live and thrive, it's not too late for things to get better.

Thanks everyone. =)

Nice. Head down, sifting away, not drawing attention to himself. Yep, a sleeper alright. Congratulations, NetRunner.

WAKE UP! Snoozedoctor goes Gold! (Sift Talk Post)

cheesemoo says...

Wow, snoozedoctor must have been a sleeper hit! I don't think I've seen any of his videos or comments... ever! Something which I will rectify now.

Anyway, congratulations!

You can kill me for the terrible pun now.

What do you do when your friend is passed out? This!

Crosswords says...

Cliche, but, with friends like those who needs enemies. If he'd tipped over he'd have caught a lung full of water before any of them could have gotten out there, not to mention the time it would have taken to drag his body back to land. For some reason I doubt those geniuses have the knowledge to resuscitate a drowning victim.

As far as it being a fake, I've know some pretty heavy sleepers, even when booze isn't involved, I'd say unlikely but, plausible.

What to expect when (She's) Expecting

nadabu says...

Seriously. Get all the sleep you can. Those first two weeks are rough. Then you adjust to the sleep deprivation for a few weeks. Then at around 3 months, if you're lucky, the kid will start mostly sleeping through the night, only waking to nurse. Oh, and on that subject, get a co-sleeper. This way you don't have to even stand up to get the kid for night nursing, and it's an easier transition from that to a crib than from sleeping in your bed to a crib.

Oh, and if you're not the type who just naturally finds the body of your pregnant wife sexy, learn to see it that way. Seriously, it's a beautiful, sensual, firm curve that symbolizes a whole lot and most couples only get to enjoy it a few times in their life together.

Everyone's a Little Bit Racist (Sift Talk Post)

eric3579 says...

By definition I dont think all people are a little racist.

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race


Do you cross the street to avoid Mexicans? Yes,If they look like thugs. No,if they dont. Same with all groups.
Have you ever said "You speak good English" to an Asian? No
Do you think Homosexuality "Isn't natural"? No
Do you have an irrational hatred of Hip-Hip? No
Do you call Christians on the internet morons? No
Do you often suspect Muslims are sleeper cell agents of Al Qaeda? No

Devout Christians beware - Teh GAYZ are coming to your town!

blankfist says...

Hate-mongering at its finest. Wow, and look at the spin in that video. AFA is remarkably stupid.

"...activist that hate everything you stand for." (cue picture of the bible)

"Once homosexual activists get into power, they're not that tolerant of other people." (not so tolerate of people trying to fuck them.. um, I mean, fuck them out of their rights.)

"They're coming to your town." (as if there could be sleeper cell queers! FTW!)

Oh, wow... great post, PirateWillard!

Airline Panic Attack

Will kids hear a smoke detector? Maybe not.

ant says...

In college, I lived in the dormitories for four years. Since I am mostly deaf (not 100%) without my bone conduction hearing aid, I can still hear the dorm's high pitch alarm quite loudly when I am awake.

Well one time, the alarm went on but I slept through the whole thing. Thanks God, it was a false alarm. None of my roommates woke me up and I could had be burned/smoked to death. It doesn't help if I a heavy sleeper (can sleep through since I can sleep through almost anything!

Live Forever Trailer. Cool Britannia. When Britain was Cool.

dotdude says...

The Netflix description: "Thanks to bands such as Oasis, Sleeper, The Verve and Pulp, British pop music has seen a renaissance in popularity rivaling that of the 1980s. But rockumentarians want to know: Was all the attention well-deserved, or was it marketing genius that fanned the flames of fandom? Directed by John Dower, Live Forever features interviews with critics and artists such as Noel and Liam Gallagher, Jarvis Cocker, Louise Wener and more."
