but...i THOUGHT Sevothtarte was BACK? now he's gone again! i miss that baby. :lol: :oops: Turns out my attempts to spend less time online and do more useful RL things instead and a return to the watch are kind of... incompatible. (not that spending time here is not useful, nooooooooo!) My timing su...

Haha, I've found that people, especially people here, tend to deride them as "fluff." Which is what they are. They add nothing to the genre as a whole, or to knowledge. Of course I'm not going to say DL is grand literature, but wether it adds to knowledge or not greatly depends upon the i...

... does lead through his stomach after all: How full a man's stomach is can dictate the type of woman he will fancy, UK research suggests. A study of 61 male university students found those who were hungry were attracted to heavier women than those who were satiated. The hungry men also paid much l...

It's not perfect for sarcasm, but I do like this one:

Hmm.

Now THAT is seriously creepy.

Exactly.

I obviously hacked your computer. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Akira was my introduction to Japanese anime (as I'm sure it was to many other North American filmgoers at the time). I admired it and thought it was a stunning piece of cinema, full of visionary and disturbing imagery I had never seen before in a "mere" cartoon. But I also thought it was ...

not quite HLT....for some reason I can't get the page to load on one computer, I go to another one on my network and I get on just fine...nobody I've talked to yet can provide any info on how this is possible....very strange indeed, that I'm posting this now, and can't get the page to load on my la...

Haha, I've found that people, especially people here, tend to deride them as "fluff." :rocket: There's gonna be an animated movie. Let's hope for the best. Cast: Tanis Half-Elven - Michael Rosenbaum Raistlin Majere - Kiefer Sutherland Goldmoon - Lucy Lawless Flint Fireforge / Fewmaster To...

Spoilers for those who haven't seen the complete 2006 season: I'm not sad at all to be rid of Rose, never liked her much... but Mickey leaving is a shame, he was great. The ending seemed rather american ;) to me in that they left a backdoor open - if the viewers don't like the new companion(s), ther...

I'm not presupposing anything. I'm merely looking at Being and describing it. It is a fact that our being-in-the-world and being-with-others is primordial compared to the reflective, analytical attitude which questions the fact of our Being. Our participation in Being is a fact that is always-alrea...

Hail Sevothtarte! :D I joined shortly after you left the Watch, but I feel I know you because when I first came on almost 3 years ago, I read and read as many posts as I could (The Watch was alot smaller then), and I always enjoyed yours. It's great to have you back!! Also, if you would like to get...

Being serious for a moment, I don't thing that SRD would appreciate that an "official" forum dedicated to him be named "Kevin's Pants", nor have a misleading topic called "prOn" instead of "General Discussion". I know that SRD does have a sense of humor, but ...

In the rather unlikely case it turns out to be a wrong result, too much damage will already have been done. Most people will remember the headlines that branded the supposedly clean winner as yet another cheater, the correction will barely register. But then again, it's amazing professional cycling ...

Thanks to everyone, I didn't really know what to expect when I started this thread, but there have been some great posts. And I don't just mean the one about poop. :clap: Then of course, if you believe you might be the only thing existing in the whole universe, and ask us to prove our existence, why...

Solipsism, I guess you know the story... I am convinced I exist. I have to be, without it everything else would be pointless. I am not sure everything else exists. Including you, the chair I'm sitting on, the PC screen in front of me. Maybe I'm floating through infinite darkness imagining it all to ...

Just to reiterate, this is not electroshock therapy, this is aversion therapy. Two completely different animals. Yes, sorry, went rather off track there. :oops: (It still was interesting, Avatar. ;)) Well, in this case, assuming the text depicts the situation correctly, I guess we all agree... Wond...

I merely wanted to point out that electroconvulsive therapy is not a pointless, pain-inducing procedure some take it to be. It was misused in the past, like many other treatments too, and it has a very bad image, in part thanks to its depiction in the media. Neither of which does rule out that there...
