TYT | Congresswoman's Voicemail: Where's My Bribe?
Wow. I wonder why the folks over at TYT are treating it like news, then.
Still, it remains a pretty good example of how America's legislative system works.
Oh, and @eric3579 - thanks for the link!
'Enders Game' Writer's Ridiculous Racist Rant Against Obama
Never underestimate just how stupid and insane people can be.
There is always a deeper rock bottom.
This is too insane to be real. Massive troll. Obviously.

'Enders Game' Writer's Ridiculous Racist Rant Against Obama
And of course Obama is going to step down peacefully. I mean, you can say whatever you want about the state of American politics, and it's obvious to anyone with at least half a brain that Obama hasn't lived up to the hype he and his people managed to create during his campaign (which makes sense since he's, y'know, A POLITICIAN), but this idea that he's somehow going to organize "urban gangs" (and I think we all know which social group Orson Scott Card's really referring to here) and take over America is just... well, it's just...
It's just completely fucking INSANE.
And it shows us poor Orson Scott Card's connection to reality really is.
I'm still waiting for Obama to do something remotely close to Hitler, cause when he steps down peacefully in 3 years, what is everyone going to do?
It's really annoying that people who are proven wrong time and time again cling to their stupid Obama is the next Hitler or the Antichrist. If he just leaves without a fuss he's not close to Hitler you idiots, Hitler was a dictator at LEAST.

I have actually never seen anybody open a can of surströmming in real life.
But I imagine it would be done very carefully, and over a garbage can.
And then you go eat things that aren't rancid.

That wasn't what I perceived your initial comment to mean. I mostly agree with you, though.
And it IS true that I am decent enough example of this, though it's not out of an exaggerated sense of self-importance, but rather crippling anxiety caused by... well, things I won't go into here.
I still don't think you're entirely right, though. And I really don't think you have a reason to be worried. First of all, I would love it if I could get some help so that I could get myself out of the situation I am in, but it's never that easy when you're dealing with mental illness.
Second of all, I am the only person I know who is dealing with these issues. The vast majority of my peers since my late teens and now, when I am in my early twenties, have been perfectly willing to get their hands dirty, and they have been perfectly willing to get a job. Any job, in fact. Almost every last one of them is absolutely desperate to just be given a chance in a world where even entry-level positions now somehow require several years of experience and a driver's license. And everything costs a fortune.
Most of us youngsters aren't sitting on our asses because we're too lazy and self-important to get a job - we're sitting on our asses because, frankly, the world has changed, and we have been left behind in the process. When my dad was my age, there were so many jobs that there weren't enough people to fill all the positions. You would probably be working on a factory floor and you may not have liked the job, but the job was available and it paid.
And that simply isn't true anymore. In fact, most of the guys I know would leap at the opportunity to get a job like that because they are just out of options.
I thought I presented my argument rather well. It was certainly not meant as an ad hominem attack. I'm far too mature for such silliness. When a perfect example of which I'm referring to plops itself conveniently into the conversation, why would I not use it to validate my argument? I also think you're missing the point of it all. What bugs the fuck out of me is the laziness, it's the time spent behind the computer on social networks, video sites and game sites, thinking that life can best be experienced by reading rather than doing. It is stunting social growth, and giving individuals an exaggerated sense of self importance. "Getting your hands dirty" teaches humility and how to figure things out independently. I'm tired of seeing so many young people sitting around at home playing on the internet all day while collecting money from the government, just waiting for a job that's worthy enough to fall into their laps because they think they're too good for manual labor or that job at McDonald's.

This is why I wish we had TSA here in Sweden as well. After a long flight, nothing'll wake you up faster than an uneducated minimum-wage earner's hand on your crotch.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Your Ego and the Cosmic Perspective
I don't think you do. I have plenty of friends who can't seem to shut up about it.
Best way, IMO, to explore the cosmic perspective... do I even need to say?
How to Coil Cables
I'm lacking in respect, huh? Fuck you, pal. I disagreed with you, and I did so pretty vehemently because I feel very strongly that you are wrong. Do you somehow think that you are entitled to judge everybody else by your impossible standards while staying safe from reproach and disagreement up in your ivory tower? And I'm the one with the ego, sure.
Now, look. I have two friends who are way into blacksmithing (and I'm actually going to try this out a bit when it becomes feasible for me to have a forge and anvil (I don't think my current neighbours would like it if I suddenly started pounding metal in my back yard)) and many others who have spent years working in construction. One of them even broke his back doing it. They have their primary skills and I've got mine, and while there is a slight overlap (since we all love to learn new things and tend to do so from each other), we all have to recognize that we are different people who are good at different things.
Because the really fucking simple truth is that life isn't perfect, and neither are human beings. We also have a finite amount of time and a finite amount of energy, and unless you are some sort of crazy person who doesn't have any limits and will work yourself until you keel over, you're going to have a few things you do well and a few things you do less well. Deal with it. What is happening here is that you've got some jacked up übermensch fantasy you can't possibly live up to, so you judge others instead of just taking your expectations down to a more realistic level.
Oh, and by the way - I love how your response was essentially just one big throbbing ad hominem. Don't have anything meaningful to say? Don't worry; you can always call the other guy an arrogant jerk! That'll show him! Nice job there, buddy. You really got me good.
Not only are the children of this new generation lacking in basic life skills, but they also have no respect. You are a prime example. Is your ego this large in real life, or do you have delusions of grandeur due to the anonymity that the internet provides? A well rounded individual should be able to both use their brain and perform menial tasks. It's not a choice of one or the other. So you took a break from reading and built a fence. Goody for you. A little exercise - what a chore. That's right, pay someone to work for you so you can sit around on your lazy ass all day. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for adding to the discussion and proving my point.

You're right! Thanks. I read up on it a bit, and learned something new. I like it when that happens.
To be fair, they really are more sociopathic rather than merely just psychopathic.
Aubrey Plaza's Masturbation Scene Was Um, Awkward
I am also imagining myself in her right now. And Olivia Munn. And Olivia Wilde.
But... this interview is sort of horrible. I mean, I really don't want to watch this movie, but after having seen this interview I sort of just don't have a choice in the matter anymore.
Yeah I can see the Olivia Munn in her, or i am imagining her in her right now anyway
