People are different. I can't imagine regularly eaing 800 calories (of quality food, obviously) before lunch. Like I said in an earlier post, I often have a 300 - 350 calorie breakfast of fried eggs and cheese at 8am and it keeps me feeling full until 12, when it's time for lunch. People...

I don't respect cultures; I respect people despite their culture. There are some fucked up, horrible cultures in the world but not every member of those cultures is a horrible person.

With how much of a cunt Walder Frey is, I'm surprised none of these other rich, powerful houses haven't just built a second bridge a few miles downriver and said "fuck you".

A couple weeks ago I got kind of depressed one afternoon so I said "fuck it" and decided to eat whatever the fuck I wanted. I had 5 Guys bacon cheeseburger with a large cajun fries for lunch + a large root beer, 12 frosted sugar cookies on the way home from work, and 90 pizza rolls and a whole...

Yeah, in many cases you would actually be better off (calorie-wise, at least) eating a donut instead of a bagel, especially if you factor in cream cheese. But how many people know this? This goes back to why it's a good idea for people to read labels and count calories for a while when...

Welcome to the corporate world? The entire point of starting a business and getting it to the point where it runs itself (via other people you hire and trust) is so that you can reap the rewards and chill out. I'm sure they worked hard as well back in the day to build up the company so they...

I studied in Ukraine and Russia and worked (taught) in Kazakhstan. Not during the Soviet Union, but they all still wear those same uniforms on special occasions (and, in my experience anyway, the boys still seem to wear suits or dress shirts, ties, and pants on a regular basis). It's insane...

Yes, it's extremely well developed and fleshed out and, sadly, is more fun than most full-fledged MMOs.

With all this color coding I'm going to start referring to Tywin's death as the "Brown Murder".

If the Soviets did something right it was designing boys' school uniforms. Boys look classy as fuck, like little Don Drapers. The girls' uniforms are kind of fucked up, though. I remember walking down the street and seeing those uniforms for the first time, I was like "what. the. fuck. Why are...

Yeah, I just boil the oats with water. I know some people can't stand them without milk, but I grew up eating them with water so I guess I'm used to it. Anyway, with cinnamon liberally applied I doubt the taste would change much either way. I generally alternate between the eggs and oatmeal...

It's been so long that we've seen the Balon or anything else to do with the Greyjoys besides Theon that I have to wonder if any TV-only viewers will even remember who the fuck Balon Greyjoy is and why they should care about him.

Education in the USA is absolutely fucked and it makes me sick. Teachers have their hands tied behind their backs in everything they do because of pussy parents and the curriculums are atrocious and focus only on helping students pass shitty standardized tests. There's hardly any learning going...

It's been a long, long time since I played Pokemon (probably 10 years?) but the reason I enjoyed it was because it reminded me of old school NES/SNES RPGs like the Final Fantasy games. It just had the added feature of addictive collecting. I have no idea if it's been changed into more of a...

Ah you're right, thanks. I had a little Astrocreep moment there!

Sounds like you've got a good plan and clearly it's working for you. Regarding the cereal, I dropped it from my diet not because of sugar or carbs or anyting, but simply because even the healthiest cereals had a ton of calories (especially when adding milk calories) but didn't fill me up very...

As a small aside... I teach at a university and I've seen a fair share of shitty teachers. The ONLY way these teachers are ever disciplined/corrected/outright removed is if students go to the department office and complain. Anecodtally, last semester I was brought in to replace a teacher...

Honestly, the most surprising thing for me last night (since I knew the Red Wedding was coming and figured Talisa + baby were goners) was the death of Orell. It's been a while since I've read the books, but doesn't he died sometime after the battle for the wall? Did he do anything noteworthy...

I agree. One of the only reasons the movie is as fun as it is, is because it's got some great, likeable actors (Eisenberg, Harrelson, Fisher, Ruffalo).

I'm eagerly awaiting Uwe Boll's next cinematic masterpiece.

I thought this was a really fun movie. Great? No. But overall very enjoyable.

Let's get some EQ nostalgia going

On a similar note, drinking an ice cold glass of pineapple juice right after sex is incredible.

Since we're on the topic of work poops, it tickles my pickle when I have a poop so epic that it manages to clog the industrial strength toilets they've got in the bathrooms at work. The sucking power on those things is like opening opening a plane door mid-flight, and yet now and then I'll drop...

The fact that people working the registers at supermarkets can't sit down rustles my jimmies.

Work socializing is a skill. You need to know how much to say and to whom so that it benefits you, while not crossing into "too much" territory and getting into situations like the OP. Personally, I'm terrible at it so I sit in my cubicle and hide from everyone as much as possible. Then...

So true. Last year I left a job I LOVED--I'm talking loved so much that I actually looked forward to going to work--in order to take a job that had a much higher salary and that I don't particularly enjoy (although I don't hate it either). Looking back it was a horrible decision and I regret...

You mention lots of different "levels" of fringe benefits. Coffee, water coolers, vending machines, microwaves, etc. are meaningless and should never be a factor on whether or not you work somewhere. Health insurance is debatable. It really depends on just how good your salary is; if it's...

That would work great until you hit FF3 and half the board plays the wrong game. Seriously though I have been considering playing through them all. Unfortunately, since I don't own any consoles I'm limited to emulators which would probably only let me play most of the earlier ones.

So, so true. I breezed through Calc I and then hit a brick wall in Calc II. I got halfway through the semester before giving up. I got my midterm back and saw I had failed horribly, so I stood up, walked out of class and went to th guidance office and changed my major then and there.

On the topic of protein bars, is there a cheaper place to get them than Amazon?

I think it's worth noting that Puzzle Agent (the first one) is not only a fun adventure/puzzle game, but it's one of the creepiest games I've ever experienced.

This is the best humble bundle ever for me. The only game on there that I already have is Puzzle Agent 1, and I adore these kinds of adventure games.

Don't forget player housing so you can build a place for all your cute pets to live.

I'm not a parent but I used to be a kid who grew into the most intelligent and well-adjusted individual I know. I thank old school Sesame Street and Mr. Rodgers for that. You can't go wrong with either of those.

The majority of the movie is going to be growing up/emo bullshit (i.e shit we've seen a million times already and no one cares about at this point) and 20 - 30 minutes at the end will be fighting Zod. Sorry. That's just how it's going to be.

Pull the battle pet system out of WoW and develop it into a full fledged MMO without raiding, grouping, and leveling up and all the other WoW shit. Clearly Nintendo is never going to get arund to Pokemon World Online so make it happen, Blizzard.
