Whoa, you liked this episode of Community more than the last? Are you serious? This one was so much less funny and was very abrupt and not very good.

Seriously though, rompers are dumb and you’re dumb for wearing them.

Yeah meta commentary.

Whoops that came out all wrong. I’m just so wrong here. Everyone downvote, I did.

What I was originally thinking was its possible for her to be 17 if her first birthday was when she was 1 actual year old, and then she could turn 5 and have 16 years have passed since her first actual birthday. But she has to have been born on Feb 29th, and therefore has her first bday at 4 years old. Whoops. Bitch is 20.

No, she’s 16. You turn 0 when born, not 1.

It was weird. I watched the video, totally acknowledged how it took skill and was very intricate, but I did not think it was impressive at all, and was very bored. Dunno why. I felt like people who don’t like sports when they watch a really impressive play – bored while being like “yeah I guess… whatever.”

I think Paul is up at least $50000. I remember him saying he’d won 35k before and winning this was 15k more. I also know that he won the CHARLIZE THERON challenge so whatever money was in that he also won. (Cause he said the 35k number in the bbq challenge).

Also, Paul is apparently a nervous wreck? It worked for Blais (the second time).

Fuckin hate Mean Grouch. Let’s all hope she dies a goddamn fire.

These are mostly executive chefs or chefs de cuisine. These aren’t chefs that work on the line cutting hundreds of vegetables, they did that years ago. Their knife skills have probably deteriorated in the time off since they concentrate on entree creation now.

Then again, Tylor was being stupid sticking his knife into a hole with his hand on the other side.

Yeah it was like Family Feud: GOP edition. But unfortunately 40 people out of one hundred gave that answer.

I know that Kelly is in love with Ryan Gosling, but that won’t stop me from saying that I LOVE YOU KELLY PLEASE MARRY ME. I will start off by saying I am not nearly as good looking as Ryan Gosling (who is?), but I am probably what is considered average. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. But I’m clean, I make good money, I am near your age (a little younger, hopefully not a dealbreaker), and I swear I’m fun to talk to. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. Please be mine Kelly.

I did too. He got it so deliberately and held it in that fashion. I thought he was so pumped from his victory that he would just end Tio right there. But no, he knows that the best fate for him is to know Gus killed his entire family.

So are we going to pretend Modern Family is even halfway deserving of this? The only moderately defensible one is Ty Burrell, but the show is simply inferior to SO MANY shows. GET BACK TO STUDYING, ACADEMY.

Um, numerous statistical studies in the US between states that do or don’t use the death penalty, when switching between them, showed that DP had no deterrent effect. Your statement is a completely irrelevant anecdote.

It was Saint Louie. It was never broadcasted, but they cast the wife in this ep to look like the wife from that show.

I think this interview was good for that assertion that he hides behind being a comedian. His filter for what’s airtime worthy is what is funny or absurd. The jokes he makes are then biased to the left. Makes perfect sense.

The thing is, if he is hiding behind being a comedian, what is Fox? Naked in their bias as a news organization.

The important thing is to note that it is completely appropriate to list Bush as a war criminal and one who has directly caused crimes against humanity. I thought the middle schoolers did an admirable job having some restraint and putting Adolf at the top.

Amy Poehler was SO HOT in this episode. I don’t even normally find her attractive, but the first scene of the show where she was so nakedly sexual turned me on. Ooooohh Leslie…

He just reads Infinite Jest until right before the ending over and over.

So am I the only one who is offended that we still somehow have a national day of prayer?

I know! Even in the episode that she did show up in, she was all about the competition and winning instead about just being there to show him what he was working for. She seems awful for him, just being another person who he has to worry about disappointing, and he has enough of those in himself already.

Donnie Darko was good. Even if you thought it was needlessly complicated to get what actually happened (and it was), it was still funny, poignant, and had some great shots and imagery.

I don’t really know why I can’t respond directly to Napoleon Complex, so I’m doing it here. You didn’t really say what the most important question is, so I don’t really know what you’re going for. But I don’t see how the most important question for debates about the proper government position about any issue isn’t “is the government morally obligated to it?”

 0Posted on Feb 26th, 2011 | re: This Is Just A Very Good Speech About Abortion Funding (123 comments)

I may have represented it wrong. I didn’t mean “relative morality is wrong because Terry Irwin thinks so and a lot of people do.” I meant it in the sense that “relative morality is wrong because people REALLY REALLY often don’t know what it actually entails and when real philosophical rigor is applied, it doesn’t stand up to even the smallest criticism. It’s not like it’s just a widely held opinion, it’s as close to fact as there is in philosophy. It’s the same way that “evolution is just a theory.” Evolution is a theory with shit tons of evidence for it and backed up by so much science but it isn’t analytically proven because microbiology can’t technically reproduce it (although it is has been observed in action). In the same vein, relative morality has been all but disproved, the only real opposition is in anti-morality or whether you should prescribe against it.

 +3Posted on Feb 24th, 2011 | re: This Is Just A Very Good Speech About Abortion Funding (123 comments)

Yeah that’s what I thought, but I always like to make the distinction because people going “well morality is relative,” like it’s a fact and only stubborn intolerant people think otherwise is a pet peeve of mine. I also take opportunities to promote John Rawls and Terry Irwin whenever possible.

I know the government shouldn’t be making fine-tuned moral statements, but in general, the government should pay attention to ethics. I can’t stand it when the primary argument about Universal Healthcare is “can we afford it?” THAT IS SO SHORTSIGHTED. The real question is “is the government morally obligated to provide us with healthcare?” The bottom line for things like this should always be whether or not it is the right thing to do. Everything else is just logistics.

And, and… I’m a Mechanical Engineering major.
