Finally got around to canceling phone and cable. Now I'm just paying for Internet.
It was funny, if a bit sad, listening to the woman on the line try to convince me to keep these outdated services.
"911 links your address to your home phone, your cell phone won't do that!"
How many scenarios are there where I will be able to dial 911 but...

Conceive of a hippopotamus than which nothing more universe-creatingy can be conceived. Because a hippopotamus that actually did create the universe is more universe-creatingy than a hippopotamus that is merely believed to have created the universe, we can conclude that there must be a hippopotamus that created the universe. This hippopotamus, we call Herbert.

One day in the future, I will have lots of money and spare time. When I do, I'm going to buy a bulldog or a rottweiler and I will name him Huxley. This just seems like the perfect name for a dog like this, and not just because Thomas Huxley was Darwin's Bulldog and all that.
I do miss dog ownership, in some ways. But...

Can you use people for their minds?
Say I know a girl. I don't expect much long-term compatibility between us, but she interests me and she's hot. But I expect personality clashes, and have no expectation that it would last very long. So, sure, to one extent you could say I'm using her for her body (she's hot, after all), but the primary motivator in...

Also, keep in mind that we are all complex self-replicating proteins crawling around on a rock hurtling through space, constantly falling into a barely significant nuclear furnace but missing.
We are all so infintesimal that we barely exist in the big picture. Round it just one decimal point and we don't exist at all.
Yet at the same time we are each to ourselves the entire universe.

I disagree about the body thing, but I can't be with a girl that isn't smart. Or at least I can't fully respect her. Same way with guys. Except I don't sleep with guys.
Don't listen too much to my advice, I'm just about to start talking in circles.

Dear Earth,
Sometime this Summer, you will want to thank me. "How can we possibly hope to repay him for what he's done?" they will ask. Fear not, I need no repayment. Like Batman, I do what I do because it is right.
And no, you aren't supposed to know what I'm talking about, and nor will I be any more specific. And anyone who...

I can't think of a Wes Anderson version of any movie that I wouldn't be into seeing, to be perfectly honest.

I usually think girls are sexier when they're wearing glasses. They usually think I'm sexier when they're not wearing glasses.

I know the feeling and agree with the women in glasses.
Quite some time ago, motorfirebox, who is not a theist but was taking their side in this argument, came the closest I've seen to solving the problem of evil.
He suggested to me that, from God's perspective, the apparent tragedies endured by people are insignificant. Essentially, in a very Buddhist way, that our suffering is illusory and, once the test is passed, we would...

Interesting Read Brudda

hi 
The Second Amendment is a lot like the First Amendment. You should be able to practice it however to want, to whatever extent you want, without legal repercussions as long as you're not causing harm. Doesn't mean you're not an asshole, though.

I can be so horridly transparent at times. But it explains the odd looks.
tristane:
That is an interesting question, still I wouldn't quite agree.
I do care about monogamy - but not as a concept. What gives monogamy value is the outspoken decision between two people to be faithful, the promise, not the principle of two people traditionally being bound by social norms. Thus, if we got involved the boundaries of our relationship would be cleared out early on. For example, I wouldn't care so much about sex, but I would be deeply hurt if he would get emotionally involved with another girl. Holding hands would be worse than sleeping around.
Further on, since I know the guy, I seriously doubt I have rewarded him in any way. He is most likely as high and mighty as a fresh pile of dog poo.
A more interesting ethical problem would therefore be whether it was really worth it to put a friend of mine in such a great moral dilemma.

God damn I love 30 Rock. Just watch the newest episode. Don Geiss' frozen - classic.
heartbaker:
I have yet to see that show
Some days, it feels like I'm the last person on Earth who really cares about William Hung.
sbmick:
Oh how wrong you are sir!
Archer is a pretty fun show. But I like just about anything for which H. Jon Benjamin supplies a voice.
