  • Non-americans, in what ways is your country better than america?

    Jump

  • We're small, and that means a lot of the problems facing America just pass us by.

  • Not universally, though. There are parts of the world where the swastika has had positive nazi-free associations for centuries. I occasionally drive home past this temple which is decorated with swastikas. One of the oldest churches in the city has swastikas in its stained glass windows. And one of the staff members where I work is named Swastika because it's an old family name in her country of origin and her parents only heard about WWII as something that happened far away.

  • Why do you comment on the posts that you comment on around here?

    Jump

  • The voices. The voices in the walls. They make me do things.

  • Would you judge one's moral character more by their actions or by their intentions?

  • What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating?

  • Highlander II

    Liking Highlander II is so far out of my worldview that I didn't realise it was an option. What was it you enjoyed about the film?

  • What's the most peculiar unexpected visitor (or "pest") that wound up in your home?

  • A weta.

  • Look for a Youtube video on the memory palace technique. It's a method for indexing information in mental images to help recall. It's simple and makes it much easier to commit things to memory.

  • Does anyone else readily choose the handicap stall if it is available?

    Jump

  • At work, yes. They made room for the handicap stall by narrowing the other stall to the point where my shoulders brush the walls. Too f'ing awkward.
