Ok, everyone get your drugs ready ppl. One of my steam buddies sent me this:
That is the best worst acid trip I’ve ever seen. Never thought I’d live to see Donald Trump as a chibi, though with those little sausage hands… :v
Clown Shoes
Your nightmare fuel for the evening.
Not really in a writing mood, so have a Kawaii Trump.
Facebook goes down, morons call 911
We Americans call 911 for the strangest reasons when really we shouldn’t. Like when a fast food joint runs out of Chicken, or in this case when Facebook goes down.
Stupid, pathetic behavior.
Microsoft will be investing 1 billion dollars in games for the XBox 1
Here’s the article. I don’t really care. I just wanted an excuse to use this picture:
One way ticket to mars.
might have to put together a list of people to remove from the planet. Link.
Mars One (via NPR) says anyone over 18 is eligible to become a Mars astronaut, as long as you don’t mind being part of a reality TV show in the process and paying a $38 application fee. Oh and then you’ll have to live the rest of your life in an inflatable habitat on another planet.
This calls for some extremely horrible music!
Forced Baptism In Bioshock Infinite = Refund?
This is just stupid…
I wish to return/exchange this game (Bioshock Infinite) for steam credit or refund on the grounds that I cannot play it. I cannot play it because at the very beginning of the game there is a section of the game that is so offensive to my religious beliefs that I cannot proceed with it any further. I did not know this section of the game was there and had no way of knowing it was there before-hand as it was not shown in any trailers, previews, screenshots or other marketing material.
Prepare for the digital afterlife.
“The feature is called Inactive Account Manager not a great name, we know and you’ll find it on your Google Account settings page,” wrote Google product manager Andreas Tuerk in a blog post. “You can tell us what to do with your Gmail messages and data from several other Google services if your account becomes inactive for any reason.””We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife — in a way that protects your privacy and security — and make life easier for your loved ones after you’re gone,” he wrote.Tuerk added that users can choose to have their information deleted after three, six or 12 months of inactivity. They also can name one or more people to receive the data from Google’s various services.Just in case you’re inactive and not actually dead, Google is set to send you a warning via an email to a secondary address, and a text message to your cellphone.
It’s okay Google. I’m not dead. I just don’t have a reason to use you.
We have the best health care system ever!
January has turned out to be a banner month for fans of American exceptionalism. As documented in voluminous detail in a 404-page report released last week by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine, Americans lead shorter lives than Western Europeans, Australians, Japanese and Canadians. Of the 17 countries measured, the United States placed dead last in life expectancy, even though we lead the planet in the amount we spend on health care (17.6 percent of gross domestic product in 2010 vs. 11.6 percent each for France and Germany). We get radically less bang for the buck than comparable nations. If that’s not exceptionalism, I don’t know what is.
….
But a funny thing happens to Americans’ life expectancy when they age. The U.S. mortality rate is the highest of the 17 nations until Americans hit 50 and the second-highest until they hit 70. Then our mortality ranking precipitously shifts: By the time American seniors hit 80, they have some of the longest life expectancies in the world.
What gives? Have seniors discovered the Fountain of Youth? Do U.S. geriatricians outpace all our other physicians?
Part of the answer is Darwinian: Those Americans who have been less able to access reliable medical care, maintain good diets and live in neighborhoods that are not prey to gun violence have disproportionately died off before age 80. That isn’t natural selection but social selection — the survival of the economically fittest in a nation that rations longevity by wealth.
But the larger part of the answer is that at age 65, Americans enter a health-care system that ceases to be exceptional when compared with the systems in the other 16 nations studied. They leave behind the private provision of medical coverage, forsake the genius of the market and avail themselves of universal medical insurance. For the first time, they are beneficiaries of the same kind of social policy that their counterparts in other lands enjoy. And presto, change-o: Their life expectancy catches up with and eventually surpasses those of the French, Germans, Britons and Canadians.
It’s funny how quite a few of the people who whine and complain about healthcare for all happen to be in the elderly bracket. Another case if IGMFY.
Stupid Facebook news of the day.
Nothing says put me in jail like stealing tons of jewels then posting about it on facebook…
Investigators combed CCTV footage, which allegedly revealed that Rodriguez had followed the man prior to the attack. Investigators also searched telecommunications and social media, which indicated he left the U.K. with a false passport for a vacation to Rio de Janeiro, then headed to Colombia, investigators said.Police said his Facebook page was “littered with pictures” of his trip to Rio.
