I don't have a problem with part of it being a "popularity contest". Half the fun of the show is watching the nerds try to grapple with social interaction. If there wasn't an important social angle, they'd all just keep to themselves, study for every possible challenge, and it would be boring as...

Obviously it's more complicated than just eliminating calories. That's been discussed in detail several times in this thread already. All calories are not the same, blah, blah, blah. For your standard, overweight desk jockey, ketosis and all this other scientific shit isn't necessary to lose...

For most people, "the low carb thing" basically just boils down to creating a caloric deficit by eliminating the insane calorie bombs that are staples of the standard American diet: big bowls of pasta with bread on the side, sandwiches with enormous buns, etc. These same people are just stupid...

Regarding Olympic/International baseball, I always figured it was similar to hockey in that the majority of the best players in America (both amateur and pro) aren't actually American. Therefore, for international competition lots of them play for their home countries and make it a lot harder...

Well "King" makes sense because it implies a larger size. A "King size mattress", for example. However, we'd never call a small mattress "fun size". It's completely retarded.

A new jimmie rustler, which was prompted by a recent discussion in the Fast Food Thread: I hate "fun size" candy bars, so the other day I grabbed a full size Snickers. I opened it up to find it was actually just two "fun size" bars next to each other in a full size package! What the fuck is...

Craig Ferguson is extremely underrated. I think he's especially good at his monologues compared to the other late night hosts. Jimmy Kimmel is another one who doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's not necessarily the funniest of the bunch, but he tends to do some absolutely hilarious skits...

This is what he was dealing.

Sorry, but I've known plenty of "good" (i.e. law-abiding citizens) who have been killed due to random murders, burglaries, accidents, and other bullshit that was completely out of their control. Their deaths were tragic and I feel sorry for them and everyone who loved them. However, I'm not...

Anyone who's seen "Cool Runnings" knows that bobsled is what failed track stars do after failing.

I must try these:Unholy Abomination Called 'Doritos Loaded' Tested At D.C.-Area 7-Elevens: DCist

I hate when food is advertised as "right size". That's just a clever way of saying that it is nothing more than a snack and you'll have to order several of them to equal a single meal. I remember TGIFriday's used to have something similar to "right price, right portion", and it was the saddest...

I strongly disliked Fallon at first, but I admit that he's grown on me. I certainly think he's improved a lot as he's progressed and gotten more comfortable with the talk show role. He does a lot of really funny stuff.

Don't make excuses, just work out in the morning. Wake up early so you can hit the gym and get it over with. It's an amazing feeling to go home from work and know that you've already taken care of your workout for the day. Not to mention the fact that working out is a great way to start your day...

I finally got around to trying Old Rasputin. Maybe it was all the hype I've heard about it (here and elsewhere), but I thought it was pretty mediocre. It wasn't bad, but I don't understand why people say it's so amazing. I was disappointed.

I agree with this. For example, running through the Shire and seeing actual players standing in fields and farming crops was such a cool experience. The game is certainly "on rails" similar to most WoW-style MMOs these days, but the designers did such an amazing job of capturing Middle Earth...

This is the first CCG I've ever played and I'm so, so bad at it

If you have a Nordstrom Rack anywhere nearby you should check it out for shoes. I wear 14 - 15 and it's the only place I can reliably find quality, name brand shoes in those sizes. They have a great selection of larger sizes. It's about 45 - 1 hour away from me, but I make the trip once a year...

At this point most Americans think that Olympic events only happen during prime time. Last night I was out and I got some texts asking me why I wasn't watching the opening ceremony. I replied that I had followed it online when it originally happened yesterday morning. They were like "lol wut...

100% this. Jesus. If you can afford to move elsewhere, then move. And that no sound after 11pm thing is bullshit. Are you living in a fucking boarding school? Come the fuck on, the second someone tried to make me sign that shit would be the second I decided to move out. The crazy guy just gives...

The day after my glorious cheat day last weekend I clogged my toilet up something fierce.

Well, if you're going to drink you're probably best off with wine. It isn't too bad in terms of calories.

I think I'd care more about how a watch looks than how accurate it is. Clocks on electronic devices are so ubiquitous nowadays that there really is no functional need for a watch. At least she didn't buy him a bracelet. This happened to me.

There's already a sequel to Gone With the Wind. Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell: Alexandra Ripley, Stephens Mitchell: 9780446502375: Amazon.com: Books

I tried going back and watching these recently and I couldn't get through the first season. I don't think they held up very well at all. I think I've been spoiled by only really watching HBO/Showtime types of shows for the last several years, because X-Files seems so insanely formulaic, and...

Sochi is the only part of the country besides Moscow that isn't a complete shit hole. And considering how shitty Sochi is turning out to be, that's saying something.

Guy about my age got shot to death a while ago where I grew up. Unsurprisingly, turns out it was a drug deal gone bad when the people he was selling his shit to decided to try to rob him. Anyway, a few of my old acquaintances (i.e. elementary school classmates) have been posting constant shit on...

You don't need to dress up like a woman to go into the women's bathroom and harass them.

Netflix streaming and portable storage, mostly. *Edit* I've been looking at Kindles lately. I've heard good things from people who mostly use their tablets as media consumption devices.

Some of the stuff I've seen mentioned as "ill preparedness" on various news outlets are actually just daily norms in former Soviet Countries. For example, being unable to flush toilet paper down the toilet is pretty standard. Between Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan I never saw a toilet in a...

I don't give a shit about anyone else's movie, but I think it's a pretty cool idea and I enjoyed watching mine.

I'd love to see this done in the style of Stargate, where the "angel" Clarence was actually a highly evolved and technologically advanced alien posing as a god-like figure. In the sequel, Bailey's grandchild can discover this ruse and will realize that there is a whole race of these "angels" out...

I like that his biggest concern about Earth being in the wrong orbit is that calendars and clocks are incorrect.

I know, and I'd really like to believe that's how he died. But I think he was just that useless. It's LFR, after all.

Considering I'll mostly be using it to watch TV/movies, I'd really prefer something larger than a 7" tablet. I've been comparing different sizes at Best Buy and it seems like 7" is just too small to really enjoy watching stuff.

That happened to my dad as well. Actually, they didn't even bother to show up. They told him when he called that the accident he described wasn't enough to get a police officer to go by.

I get all my nerd news from JunkiesNation nowadays. *Edit* Not really. I only visit JunkiesNation once a month or so to hunt for grammar mistakes in their stories while I'm bored. *Edit 2* I especially like finding old stuff Draegan wrote that is full of examples of "would of".

A recent LFR had a loud mouth shaman healer going on and on about how he wasn't going to bother with the maze; he was just going to stand in that shit and out heal it like a boss. The maze appeared and he promptly died.

What's the best tablet for a maximum of $400? Ideally I'll use it mostly for a portable way to watch TV/movies (i.e. move it with me as I move around the house when cleaning, cooking, etc.), but also some web browsing and reading. At first glance it looks like the basic Nexus 10 from...

It's interesting that some people thought his picture was just one house! I guess it depends on what you're used to seeing. I see so many of those exact same townhouses every day that I just took for granted that it's a townhouse, but looking back at the picture I can see that it really isn't...
