  1. Hope you all realize just how impressionable this kid is! Youre playing with fire...
  2. Haha. Ace. Sometimes clicking on "View Post" next to Code's name is like opening a hilarious fortune cookie. Of course, sometimes its like opening a used diaper.
  3. Didnt even realize he was sold to Turkey, the place footballers go to die... Exhibit A, Quaresma Exhibit B, Milan Baros
  4. I think with episode 4 it was back to previous season heights.
  5. Ill be more able to do this in January... so dont save a spot for me
  6. Lewis, no offense but youre in a bit of a scummy phase. Hope you grow out of it soon.
  7. Does this article work for you guys? If not I can post it http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/opinion/sunday/the-power-of-concentration.html?smid=pl-share Ego is a slippery word isnt it, it can mean the narrowly defined "self worth" or a much broader part of the mind which constructs a reality of desires and knowledge hierarchies to avoid and deny painful aspects of existence. Or just the part of you that insists you are more important than everyone else. Either way I think its applicable!
  8. God damn I used to play this all the time, how do I sign up
  9. See, browsing on my fancy fucking iphone I missed this entirely. Technology... Ace gif!!
  10. Ive read a little about this kid who took his mom's assault rifle and shot up the school in Connecticut, killing 20 first grade children. He was described as having no friends or aquaintances. Spent all his time out of sight at home. His mom took care of all his necessities. I think its a pattern in these horrifying attacks. Overriding loneliness. Its just not in our nature, we are social beings. We need others to bring out our compassion, to feel our unity with things. There was a tribe of untouched indigenous peoples in the Brazilian jungle in the 70s, and one of the anthropologists who went to study them married a girl there and brought her back to New York. She left in shock. She had spent her whole life in a giant palm leaf lodge waking up surrounded by every person in her tribe, generations all together all the time. She couldnt understand how we survive in our little boxes, separate, stuffed with our possessions. I guess its a bit broader than technology- just the way out society has evolved in general. We live in boxes and amass the things we think we want. We indulge our egos and wonder why we become ever more insecure and fickle. We immerse ourselves in a job and wake up 30 years later, miserable, living an elaborate life we've constructed just because we were told that's the way it's done. In short, we spend a lot of time trying to reinforce the illusion that each of us is separate, important and permanent. An illusion that brings us great suffering.
  11. Wait, so you would just watch porn for hours without so much as a sneaky fiddle? Im sorry but whats the point?
  12. TLW, NY Times, Guardian sport, BBC front page. 101 great goals. facebook. Aside from searching things on google or wikipedia, the occasional pornhub (im cutting down!) and kickasstorrents for movies/tv... sometimes netflix but less and less. Crazy.
  13. Youre right, in a sense. It's not what you do, but how you do it. I just think almost everyone, including me, is doing it wrong. Well done to you for not doing it wrong!
  14. Singing his same 5 radio hits. As the twitter ticker above spouted OMG YESSSSSSSS!! non stop
  15. There's no doubt that this shit started in America. It's sad.
  16. What a shit concert. That alicia keys cellphone thing was downright disturbing. Not to mention the giant twitter feed ticker and constant corporate sponsor mentions. Congratulations America, weve managed to commodify natural disasters.
  17. Im 25, so I will pull my infinite seniority and neg you for saying "Ill take the neg like a man." That's not taking the neg like a man.
  18. I think its hard to argue that technology & materialism havent changed our daily life in a pretty fundamental way.
  19. Consumerism is about creating and stoking desires. We are all susceptible to desires, but we are happiest when we have none! So yes, consumerism & technology, which are by now one and the same, is making us unhappier, by convincing us that we need more and more to be happy. We dont need anything to be happy.
  20. Dunno if this covered above but its not actually the end of their calender, just a cyclical reset of eras. Next up is a great dawn or sumfink Edit hmmm i see it is covered above
