Back when music videos were still artistic and mtv wasn't a big pile of shi* I looooove dat song. You want some unsettling space ambient music? This makes me feel like an enemy ship is going to de-cloak right behind me :(

Only the best in Ugandan film The rest are a collection of ultra short, but funny videos. Punctuation is important on a teleprompter. Twilight in 4 seconds What a faux pas! Everyone's opinion on planking.

I too am interested in this. As it stands, I am much better at dealing with complete strangers than people that know me. I find it super easy to make friends with whoever. But I find it nearly impossible to keep those friends.

I actually like Cicada's. Their loud din is very nostalgic to me. When I hear it I think of the hot sun, of the smell of dust, the strain in my muscles, and the feel and smell of sweat. I used to play baseball when I was younger during the summer, s…

I'll go so far as to say, without Cannabis, I never would have had an epiphany that resulted in me taking a step back, and thinking long, very long, about everything that came to mind. I examined where these thoughts arose from, and where they were …

He doesn't exactly go traveling, but he certainly seems to find himself. "Alone in the Wilderness" is a documentary filmed entirely by one person, who decided to live entirely alone in Alaska, far from any civilization. It goes through the first yea…

"Om" is commonly muttered by Buddhists who are caught by a question that confuses them. A little boy asked a monk "so, why do you shave your heads?" The monk responded "Ommm, it saves us money we'd spend on shampoo?"

Hmm, thinking on it for a while now. I suppose, in the end, I'm not too concerned about nations themselves, in this regard. What I am concerned about, is the strength that we humans are capable of achieving. Yes, under nationalism, nearly every time…

Mine is just my avatar from EVE online. I like it, mainly because I wear hoods whenever I can. If you were to ask why, I'd say because 1. it's warm, I like the added feeling of protection. And 2, because I appreciate the discretion a hood offers. So…

Humm, I didn't even know they had been discontinued.

An oldie but a classic

@Ficus_Religiosa That's awesome. I really like games like that when there is more than one dynamic to the whole thing. I may consider giving Star Trek online a look. The combat in EVE requires a lot of tactical thinking, often days in advance. Ther…

I am a brother of EVE, anyone else in the family? Peripherally. I've never played EVE (my computer wouldn't even run it), but I play Dust 514 a bit (it's taken a backseat recently to the new 'God of War' and the 'Tomb Raider' reboot). Well hey if…

I love Imee Ooi. Here's the Green Tara mantra, I don't know who it is by, but it sounds similar to Imee here. This is my favorite rendition of the Green Tara Mantra.
-
@Ficus_Religiosa I was curious as to how Star Trek online is, is it any good? And money seems difficult to gain in EVE online at first, but eventually you'll find tons of ways to make ISK. A particularly fun and non-violent way is to be an explorer.…

At the very least you'll only lose an arm. What? I'm a pessimistic optimist.

You know you don't have to make it all the way out to Yellowstone to chuck that thing in the trash? And if you do make it to yellowstone please don't litter :x Or, you could just give it to someone else.
-
@Captain_America yeah I have that same problem. But so far, that has not hit me with EvE, as the game is a lot less dependant on fetch quests and crapola like that (a la WoW, GW2, any other assortment of fantasy MMO's) the game is, more or less, ent…

For me what hurts the most is that someone is directing such negativity towards me. I could care less what they call me and why. It's uncalled for aggression and cruelty that pains me.
-
Yes, the universe is fully alive. We are, after all (and not just us, but every other living thing) the way that the universe is able to become aware of itself. You see? Because of us, and possibly other intelligent beings out there, the universe ha…

I'd do it just for the hell of it. Is it dumb? yes. Is it a free trip? oh hell yes.

I do believe this thread is going off on a very unrelated tangent. Shush, back to the topic at hand now.
-
Say what you want about the Soviets, but they knew how to write one hell of an Anthem.
-
I'd try to be friends with it. I mean come on, an AI buddy? hell yes.
-
@Karasti Annoyance? oh yes, very much so. I spilled a glass of water on my dog's head, she just stood there for a moment, huffed, and walked away. And you could see it in her eyes, she had the whole "Really? did that just happen? goddamnit" look on …

What I am seeking? Some peace and quiet, love, some good liquor and good company, solidarity.
-
Goddamn, chill out everyone. Harshin' my mellow and all that. And for what? be honest. Do any of you think you're going to convince the other on this? Just lean back for a second.
-
Well, we humans are omnivores. So, I eat a little bit of everything edible. Get a nice stiry fry with sweet pea pods, tofu, baby corn, carrots, celery, cabbage, toss some chicken and pineapple in, mm good. Or steamed broccoli with some nice deliciou…

Pretty soon man, pretty soon. Someone is going to call for a revolution. If things keep up like this, somewhere, at some time, something is going to snap. And all hell will break loose.

Violence is necessary against a determined, barbaric enemy. Non-violence does not work against these lawless, genocidal governments. To them, you being non-violent only makes it that much easier to kill you. Buddhism has wonderful ideals and all, bu…

My question is thus. Is it alive? I mean, I'm not asking if it is aware of course, it is just a strip of muscle. But I mean, does it still count as alive?
-
My goodness that looks absolutely vile.
-
Yeah this is true. However I have seen a few unfortunate cases where someone who was hit with pepper spray was not only not incapacitated, it actually enraged him and made him more dangerous (I'm assuming because civilian pepper spray is weaker than…

@JohnG I looked it up, SAP gloves are only illegal in California and Massachusetts, with New York considering outlawing them as well. They are for all intents and purposes, legal in my state. So long as I do not commit an assault with them or someth…

I don't think you're supposed to keep the water in your mouth the entire time. Then it'd be mostly spit you're spraying in someone's face. I mean come on, that's just plain... mean. Plus what if you had to talk to someone? then again having what see…

@lobster spitting can distract and put-off someone. But I'd much rather trust in muscle and steel than holy water, no offense. Best case scenario I get it in their eyes so I can get a head start and run from them. Worst case scenario it enrages them.
