... who would you look for if you wanted a custom built fold out fan made of... nonstandard materials? Not even sure what the proper name for those things are...

... y'know, I've been considering going through the LP of that a few times. It sounded vaguely ridiculous.

Any kind of criticism is good criticism
Let's go with "no" for a thousand, Alex.

Unfounded criticism is as bad as it is useless, and should be rejected out of hand. It serves no purpose for anyone but the critic (if that), and considering it is a waste of time and effort.

And while not a hundred percent correlation, I've found a very strong negative trend between use of vulgarity and insult and the usefulness of criticism. As one goes up, the other tends to go down proportionately. There's exceptions, of course, but they're rare -- and usually only effect the intensity of the trend, not its existence.

Especially if you're having to deal with a large body of such things, or your ability to filter data is time constrained, it's highly likely that adopting the heuristic "reject criticism that includes insults and/or vulgarity" is one that is going to effect the benefit you gain from considering what criticism you deal with very, very little.

Throwing sturgeons into a lubricated surgeon wrestling match, anyway. Gods only know that's someone's fetish.

Milk-less cereal's like sweet potato chips, really (that is, potato chips that are sweet. Not chips made from sweet potatoes. Different things.). Or grain based banana chips. It's pretty good snack food.

Even some of the non-hypersugar stuff is solid. Plenty of the better flavored healthy stuff is excellent, too.

STOP PUTTING CHEESE ON PERFECTLY GOOD FOOD!
Don't you mean popcorn on perfectly good cheese?

... nah, seriously, cheese is the only thing worth putting popcorn on. Makes the popcorn actually edible >_>

Oh yeah... Jack Thejil on LoL. I can already predict how the 1v1 matches I'm in are going to go :P

E: Charmander got the 1v1, 0-2. Gonna' be amusing when it's the same results vs. Sky, heh.

Exponential increase in file size for no increase in quality that I can actually notice... yeah, no thanks :P

This just goes to prove that the zombie aporkalypse will begin in Britain. If only we had a good way to quarantine the entire island...
Damnit man, you missed a perfect opportunity.

... nah. Proper wizard bed would take a high strength test to escape from. Probably a few balance, escape artist, and acrobatics checks, too. Plus trap disarming, probably a half dozen knowledge checks...

It would be the best and most wizardly of beds, capable of killing 10d100 peasants in a single round. Also so comfortable it self incarnates as a divine manifestation of relaxation.

I've actually kinda' been curious as to cases like that -- when someone decides turning someone else in is worth admitting to illegal actions (at least assuming weed's illegal in Akura's area. It's still pretty safe to assume it mostly is, in the states.). It'd be interesting to see what sort of data there is on the subject.

I mean, I know it happens from time to time, but frequency, reasoning... that sort of stuff. How often someone admits to a crime with a higher punishment in order to drop someone.

E: Though I'm aware it's somewhat(?) regular for commuted sentencing and whatnot. Not talking about that.
