Looking for a sitter
I will be away all weekends from now on so I can't constantly ask for a 3 day pause. So I'm looking for a sitter.
I'm in two games. one wta game with high pot (700+D), in which I'm almost defeated and a C1 summer league game (doing well there).
Anyone interested?

Martial law in the deep south?
Rumor mill speculates a forcible evacuation from the gulf coast.
Normally I dismiss martial law rumors pretty quick, but given the toxicity of the water, beaches, and even air from texas to florida (some symptoms of corexit (sp) poisoning as far north as N carolina (unverified) I think this is a real possibility
What do you think?

The Tales Today That Will Be Classic Legends Tomorrow
We look into the past in the West and see a lot of heroes and stories and mythologies that still are important to us today. The Epic Of Gilgamesh. The Old Testament of Adam and Eve, David, Moses. The Iliad, Oddysey, and Aeneid. The Oedipus Cycle. The New Testament and The Story of Jesus. The Arthurian Legend. The Arabian Knights. Robin Hood. We have so many franchises and stories and sagas today- which ones will be/should be remembered and revered as classics in the centuries to come?

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Science vs. Ethics: What's Wrong With
It's the tale as old as time, "scientific progress" vs. "what's right." On the one hand, we have stem cells and other such biological and engineering works that could potentially improve life for mankind drastically, cure diseases, make man stronger, more versatile...man can literally improve his design. But then you have the other side, and the powerful question, "Who are WE to play God and alter such things?" Should we be afraid of "playing God?" Is there a line? If so, what?

I'm not sure what normal is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't envolve posting what I had for breakfast on an internet forum full of people I wouldn't recognise if I was in the same supermarket queue. Come to think of it I've only ever asked questions like those our dear krellin suggested to distant relatives that I don't like very much. Let's face it, the health of another man's dog is really really dull news.

Normal people find the unusual interesting. Bring back the philosophical bullshit :D!
Screw normality, it sucks.

Okay I will let you all know what I do normally.

Last weekend I drove to Austin to see my girlfriend. We went to a lot of Mexican restaurants we'd never been to and had plenty of sex. I discovered I need to use bigger condoms. The normal sized ones cut off circulation for me. I went to Barton Springs with her and her friend and a friend of mine. Barton Springs is a giant pool that's about 65 degrees F even in the heat of the summer. It was fun.

Then we went to an Austin Film Society screening of "The Trial" directed by Orson Welles... it was... interesting. Afterward we ate dinner at Chuy's, a little Tex-Mex place. And after that we went back to her friends apartment where she and I were staying, played some cards, she smoked a bit of weed, and then we went out to watch Inception, which was also very good.

The next day we got up at like 11 and went to eat Einstein Bagels. Then we drove around Austin, went to a local bookstore and bought "The Diaries of Adam and Eve" by Twain. After we went to a local cofffee shop by Lake Austin and sat outside eating a tart. We drove around some more seeing local Austin sights until it was getting to be dinner time, so we drove up to Lake Travis to have dinner at the Oasis, which is a restaurant that sits on top of a cliff face westward overlooking the lake. We saw the sunset and had really good food. Oh and a normal bit: I thought we were going to run out of gas on the clifftop roads but we made it to a gas station just in time.

Next day we just chilled and went to Barton Springs again... and had a lot of sex. I left the next morning and she got on a flight back to Ohio.

So I drove back to Houston just in time to show up for my cashier job at Walmart. Yes. That's my job. While there she called me saying she left her wallet in my car with her ID and everything. So I got off work at 11 and went to sleep but the next day (yesterday) I overnighted it to her. And I worked yesterday too.

So that's not exactly what I do every day but it's what I did the last few days.

Now you know my life.

@Thucydides: Sounds like lots of fun. :-) That just proves my point about normal sometimes being fun.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
22 Jul 10 UTC
yeah it was pretty much the most fun i've had this summer.

As for my normal life I guess it goes like this:

This summer I work as a cashier at Walmart, which needs no introduction. When I'm not doing that I'm on here or writing for fun or reading the news.

During the schoolyear I study my ass off, drink sometimes, cook, and still read the news and come on here. Lol.

@Draug: In real English tart is a synonym for "loose woman" so I was picturing Thucydides in a threesome.

@Thucydides: if the condom is cutting off circulation you are wearing it wrong, don't put over your head, put it on your penis!
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Jul 10 UTC
Yeah, we use tart over here (or maybe it's just my habitual watching of BBC America) which is why I said that. But, yeah, rereading it they may have been sharing the tart. How much did she cost? And did you get a citation, Thucy?

lol nice yall. but the tart was much tastier than my girlfriend, no hate on her though.

and believe me.... it is cutting off circulation lol. magnums are better but i think i will now have to order off the internet... just to try anyway. if that still doesnt work its back to the drawing board.

can i just say.. thank god for birth control

Thoughts on Determinism.
I am a firm believer in hard determinism, and my beliefs in determinism (and cyclic universe theory) lead me to believe that god does not exist, not vice versa. I assume that there are quite a few people on this site that aren't determinists, so who is willing to argue with me?

How did you first learn about Diplomacy?
One of my History teachers in middle school had our whole class play it. I think we were making two moves a week or so, and his plan was to actually grade us on how well we did. I was Germany and was kicking ass... until someone snuck into the classroom one day after school was out and knocked over all the pieces. Our teacher hadn't written down the positions so the game just ended. It was lame, but some friends and I started playing on our own.
