SCIENCE!!

TL;DR? Fuck if I know what exactly is going on, we're gonna believe in ourselves as free actors whether we know better or not. Fuckin' humans. Why the fuck do we care about this shit anyways? EATSLEEPSEX, that's how the rest of the world rolls, and we have to go around asking stupid questions. Top life-forms my ass, bacteria (and viruses, if you wanna count them as living) have us beat.

Thanks for the link, interesting post/site.

I do take issue with the fact that the author seems to be pulling the old philosophy trick of redefining words to mean only what you want them to mean as if that proves one's point. But I'll take it with a grain of salt and read some of the follow-up posts.

Nice to add a blog to my reading list every once and a while.

Yay! It'll make more sense if read in the corect order. You can start by checking up the "followup to" posts listed at the top of the article, then you can gets started on The Sequences, found here: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Sequences

I just found out you can buy blindbags in my town. My pony count is now 4. Checking another shop tomorrow.

So I've been finishing up Batman the Animated Series. As far as random crazy awesome characters go...

Harley Quinn > Pinkie Pie

Don't kill me.

Also, Harley/Poison Ivy is my OTP. Damn near canon too, what with both of them walking around together in nothing but oversized shirts...

Harley Quinn is fantastic, I'll admit that.

But no.

Now to find that thread where Necro was pinpointing people's locations...

Well, now that I started I might as well confess that I actually like Applejack even less than Pinkie! Sorry Kaijyuu.

Of all the things to get stuck in my head it had to be Pinkie's Brew! Get it out! ARGH! I've been whistling it all morning and I can stop thinking "-life is not a piece of cake served on a silver spoon."!

I've been listening to this for the past several days straight. I believe this qualifies as 'stuck in my head' now.
