everything yucky is best dealt with according to the definitions of yucky and not yucky as decided upon by the community. things categorised as yucky need only to be described as such, and require no explanation. logical arguments, while inherently yucky, are often turned about to support illogical points e.g. the theory of evolution is only a "theory", not fact.

tldr: to them, it IS scientific fact. theres just a semantic problem. this problem will not likely be resolved.

i am exactly the same on or off; the online problem is reading sarcasm. the offline problem is reading deadpan. sigh. i am considered difficult both on and offline, and its your fault.

i dont remember, but i have seen video footage of me, at 2, dancing to this:

all that said, i like doug e fresh 'the show' as my first love.

yes! and this is not well known in the US, but its great! dj set though...

its been a while.. the NO DANCE thing: DJs create sets that set a mood over a period of time... most rock/pop/rap/etc albums are a collection of individual songs, set in an order to best fit that same kind of mood swing. if you wanna go way back, opera does the same; modern music is often short attention span. sometimes, though, artists create an "album" and not just a collection of 12 random songs. i was looking for the album ones.

division bell? im gritting my teeth...

ok a smile. thanks

sigh, did LOL at this one, but only because im also drunk. least sexy full nude? im gonna cheat on this one, but lemme see what i can do..

ok that was a smile... thanks though.

i got sick of reddit about a year ago and quit... signed up again about a month ago, got "shutup libtard" on my first comment, couldnt figure out where i was for a second, havent been back.

heh

in the clear. hah! all the constructive stuff I did on my own, though.

read: everything you (think that you) know is a result of everything youve experienced, no need to be surprised.

hah. if the "leader of the free world" was chosen by all people under that umbrella, the repubs would shrivel up faster than the banannas i keep mistakenly storing out of direct view.

frankly, i agree with him. and just in case youre still skeptical: why does adblock exist, if not to bypass the obnoxiousness of the google model?

that being said, i agree with your "go directly to the consumer" point. thats a newish idea that has worked out well on several fronts, but requires a certain amount of several other factors to work successfully... the standard seems to be google ads, and i agree that print ads were much less obnoxious, and therefore much more likely to get done whatever the advertisers had in mind.

and finally, i hate ads. on tv, in mags/comics, before movies, and anywhere else; but the google model (much like the billboard) has out-shouted any interest i could have possibly had in any product, to the point where i specifically AVOID said products.

edit just for fun: my favorite part was "inability to hide derision", followed by the rest of your point. heh.

lately, i just have to enjoy reading all the cards in the decks i get lent to play against my friends new decks.

i myself am much happier in skyrim.

edit: i would me totally into those closed deck games. anyone in tokyo/yokohama wanna play?

edit: please tell me the headline "homeless people turned into wifi hotspots for sxsw" was tongue-in-cheek criticism..
