    I smell sarcasm. Would you care to elaborate why you don't like it?

    I like Enterprise more than the original series, especially the last two seasons.

    I was just trolling. I can count the number of Star Trek episodes I've seen (from multiple series) on one hand but the intro theme music for Enterprise does make me feel nauseous.

    Palarva is definitely a word... though like Davies said, it's mostly used in the UK. I don't hear it over here, closest I get is Pavlova... which is yummy, but doesn't mean the same thing.

    Great, now I want Baklava.

    Fascinating strategy.

    Loves to play mindgames.
    Lures people in with Gadokens.
    Sometimes repeats some of his strategies, then suddenly mix them up.
    Runs away constantly.
    Throws a lot. Maybe too much sometimes.
    Loves to tease focus. But in some videos he has used it to its full effect.

    Ugh. So sony says the Playstation Store is up, and so I go to get my free Killzone and they say I have to recreate my password on the store.playstation.com, or with my PS3, which I dont have, so I go to the website and its down.
    A few things.
    WHY CANT I CHANGE THE PASSWORD FROM THE PSP!
    Is sony that paranoid that they block my psp from switching passwords? If someone changes the password from my PSP, then I have a few other problems.
    That and I forgot my password so if they ask for that...

    Blizzard really needs to release their system requirements for Diablo III so that I can build my computer accordingly.

    Same goes for you, Bioware with your Mass Effect 3.

    Finally got my PSP to work with PSN! When Sony forgets my password and birthday, things get wierd, but apparantly typing random birthdates works eventually:D(no seriously, thats what I did and it worked)

    I had "Greek pasta" for lunch today. They didn't have Baklava for dessert, though, so it was pointless.

    So after reading the mouse-over text in today's xkcd...
    xkcd wrote:
    Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".

    ...I find myself testing it out. So far I've tried cheese, Michael Jordan, and doughnut. Turns out that it works pretty well, considering that Michael Jordan ended up taking me to philosophy eventually. The problem with the other two is that if you go to the article for any kind of food, the article for food will eventually direct you to the article for science, at which point you end up stuck in an endless loop between three or four articles.

    That said, now I'm going to be stuck here all night trying this out on non-food articles. Thanks, Randall.

    Edit: Never mind, the loop was "Science > Knowledge > Fact > Concept > Cognition > Science", but apparently the first link in Fact is not Concept, but Information, which does inevitably lead to philosophy. What the hell.

    Edit x2: Never mind again, apparently the Quantity article goes to Science, not Property (philosophy), so it's still a loop, just a bigger loop.

    Edit x3: I think an xkcd reader is trolling Wikipedia, editing articles to create these loops. Quantity goes to property again, not science.

    Because my roommate works and I don't, she offered to switch where we sleep: me in the bedroom and her in the living room, so that she doesn't wake me up in the morning. It's very nice of her (although I'm sure it was also for her own benefit, so she could do her own thing without feeling like I was in the way or she was in the way) but her mattress has her shape and she's smaller than me (I mean thinner. She's barely shorter) so it's pretty uncomfortable. I can't lie on my front or back, I need to be on my side.

    I flipped the mattress to see if it would be better tonight, but to be honest I know this bed, she's had it since I've known her, the mattress is probably 15 years old at least, so I doubt it will change much.

    She had trouble sleeping in the living room too because she's used to her bedroom. So for the past two days neither of us slept well :p Hopefully tonight will be better, otherwise maybe we'll switch again.

    It's been deleted and as such I demand monetary compensation for the three seconds of my time that it took to click on that link. All in all, that comes to precisely 3 English pennies. Expect a letter from my lawyers hence with.

    They're both deleted. Is this supposed to have something to do with the topic of your recent thread that got locked?

    This is some of my favorite advice I ever gave some one, continuing on about my theories/ discoveries of emotion .
    At the end of the day all human emotions are intertwined. She is angry because she is scared, and also because she feels a release when angry that could relate to happiness, even over tones of anger can show through. She's just as human as every one else.

    Don't turn to bigotry because of her sexual preferences, you can dislike some one, but don't dislike some one because of the person they choose to love. Unless that person is a axe murder or something.

    What's important is that she feels loved or love for some one, every one is searching for acceptance and love, even if it appears they are searching for hate and misery.

    Negative emotions are just as real as positive and they always resonate, vibrate from one to the other. Things such as sexuality are directly tied to all these emotions. She has feelings for women, that's ok. Just because she is gay and you are straight that doesn't mean that she too is not a reflection of humanity, and of yourself.

    Her feelings could actually be feelings of love, fear, remorse, not fitting in. You say she's shy and fights with you. This sounds like a young girl searching for a purpose, searching for friends, afraid to be herself because of her sexuality, some one who has been bullied herself.

    Treating her unfairly makes you no better or worse than she is. She's just as human as you are. I know some people get tied up into their own emotions, invested, they should try more often to get tied into what we perceive as positive emotions.

    I know you don't want to send out the wrong signals, but I bet you'll surprise her deeply if you just treat her with some kindness, all emotions have several faces to them, you're just not speaking to the right faces of her emotions. Her angry, rudeness, is really just her love sent out to others, her insecurities, cries for attention.

    Be a decent human being, be exceptional, treat her with kindness. Please.

    Don't say hurtful things to people who are already hurting their self. She is already struggling with her self, her own emotions, that's why she lashes out to other to pass judgment onto others because she is so afraid to be judged herself.

    Treat her with kindness.
    Don't allow your emotions of kindness and understanding turn into the faces of anger, revenge, grudge.

    These faces of emotions are ugly faces, as they can be beautiful, but we need to understand these faces of emotions before we can all see eye to eye and discover the beauty of our emotions and to be at peace.

    I hate to say this, but I agree with you Davies. I need to go wash now.
  • edited May 2011
    You must have tried the wrong kind of cheese, or perhaps had a good kind of cheese but put on the wrong kind of food. Some people seem to like the weirdest types of cheese, though. Not all cheeses are alike. Some are great, some are bad. Oh, and Cheez Whiz doesn't count. I hate Cheez Whiz. Besides, it's a cheese food not actual cheese. There are various products on the market that are cheese spread, cheese food, or cheese product, (none of which are real cheese) and some of these are terrible.

    Have you ever tried a grilled cheese sandwich with American cheese slices; cheddar cheese on Ritz/Wheat Thins crackers; cheese pizza (which has mozzerella cheese); cheese nachos where the cheese is real shredded cheese and not the fake melted kind (in which case the shredded cheese is probably colby-jack)?

    I could just sit and eat a block of sharp cheddar with a knife. Perhaps also with crackers, but they're not required.

    I'm afraid I'm fresh out.
  • edited May 2011
    I think some people in Europe have strange taste in cheese. Excluding cheese spreads/foods/products, I think the only cheeses I've ever tried are cheddar, colby, monterey jack, colby-jack, swiss, american, mozzerella, feta, parmesan and muenster. Maybe a couple others I'm missing but I think that's about it.

    Wisdom tooth surgery tomorrow morning.
  • edited May 2011
    I'd point and laugh because my dentist says I won't need one of those for either of my 4 wisdom teeth so I supposedly will never go through that, but that's just too horrible for me to do >.>
  • edited May 2011
    It won't be as bad as you think, Fawful. Though if the doctor prescribes you percocet, I would strongly advise you don't take it unless something like Advil doesn't cut it for you. But my experience wasn't bad at all.
  • edited May 2011
    Okay, I'll definitely avoid percocet then. The funny thing is, my teeth look good. I don't get why this surgery is necessary at all. Here, let me take a pic and show you. What do you guys think?

    Actually, one of my teeth isn't coming through the skin entirely and is causing bone decay in my jawbone, meaning that section of it will have to be removed.
  • edited May 2011
    Don't worry about the wisdom teeth. You get knocked out, laugh at the ceiling for a bit, wake up with far too many band-aids on your hands, take the wrong medication, and then sit on the couch eating pudding for the next few days.

    Or maybe that was just my experience...
  • edited May 2011
    Well, now I have seen the face of my nightmares for the next few days. At least Fawful's BEN-face should replace Cupcakes.

    Now that I'm really looking at that face, I realize why it seems so...familiar. It looks exactly how I always imagined a human version of Max as looking!

    They're not putting me under. I'll be awake for the whole surgery. And I have to do it again in a month on the other side of my mouth.

    They're not taking them all out at once? That is different from mine.

    But from my experience with other dental surgeries, an iPod/MP3 player and some good loud music is essential when you don't get to sleep through the thing. Keeps your mind occupied with the finer things in life.

    I'll go with the music they played when Tuco was tortured in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
