Late as usual, but to reiterate, you're not alone. I have pretty severe ADD and anxiety. The latter made the former essentially untreatable until very recently and it delayed my academic career by 10 years. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel; my GPA now is around 3.75 (higher soon; tha...

At no other point in history BULLSHIT. Even laying aside the fact that a few hundred years ago, there were some pretty radical changes in the Americas. Like their being called the Americas. Even laying aside that fact for a moment, that is still a huge, steaming load of bullshit, easily identified ...

Sure, the rich fucks at the top are often full of themselves and are only compassionate when it serves their purposes (charity donations are tax deductable, after all.), but the ones at the bottom are worse. Um, maybe because when you're (not you specifically, but a hypothetical "you" for purposes ...

The ball in the middle

Isn't that a donut hole?

Saw someting on public TV once, where they put a cuttlefish in a tank with a black and white checkered floor and it turned checkered; it wasn't as sharp, but then they're evolved for copying organic things, not straight lines.

Ah, now we're back to tentacles. Good. Actually, my BF told me a story once about an aquarium that put an octopus in the shark tank; they were really worried about the octopus, but they thought they'd try it. Then the sharks started disappearing. They do all right in a closely stocked environment li...

And I need to correct a deliberate misquote a vegetarian diet is not, in fact, overwhelmingly stunting and damaging to children... I never said the cost was huge... Only that it is, logically, extant. I said "inherently" not "overwhelmingly" That's a pretty cheap tactic. Yes, you have a grudge. I po...

I'm not going to deal with Honor's obvious narcissism or her textbook reaction to having it pointed out. However, I will correct a very incorrect statement: the fact is, eating more meat than, say, our nearest relative, Pan troglodytes is considered, scientifically, to be one of the biggest reasons ...

Well, I speak it; that's enough for them (you?), isn't it?

You have a major grudge and you are being very childish about it. ------------- Yes, I think cosmetic surgery is stupid, yes I think it has to do with women having poor body image, and yes, liposuction is dangerous. Yes, I think there's something wrong with the fact that women in our culture are so ...

There is definately a moral panic out there, and it is doing much more harm than good. Every message is tinged with hints of "being fat is a moral offense", which leads to righteous indignation, and some people don't do those things that might lead to better health simply because they think that wo...

issues getting the accents to work. Well, I'd been meaning to redo this for a while, having lost my previous copy and acquired a need for more than ñ, ü, and vowels with accent aigu, so might as well post it here while I'm at it. This has some German and Spanish characters, b/c I use them too (in f...

What do you do about magic-resistent VD? Remove curse . If it gets immune to that, Wish . Remember, deary, this is D&D. You just need a higher-level cleric. You only play 3.5? Well, the O.G. license means that the 3.0 rules will never die. And ThAC0 means that 2.0 (which, as I recall, which I am not...

Anyway, temple prostitutes were either a way of saying "here is a woman who can help you feel closer to the deity through a ritual of unity", or of saying "get it here with the temple's blessing and reasonable health checks, rather than on the streets, where you get denounced by the temple and migh...

If I recall correctly (and I'm not 100% sure I do), some abstinence-only educations can delay the onset of sexual activity for a short time--and then they ALL result in astronomically higher rates of STDs, HIV, and unplanned pregnancy. But take it from the experts, not me: http://www.plannedparentho...

Wasn't there a fan-generated something like this a couple of years ago? Special spells and everything, purely for fun. As for the "true submissive" feat, it sounds way too twink. I once had (tried to get approved) an Aasimar cleric of Idra (with expert levels no less) inspired by the protagonist fro...

Well, yeah, obviously if you're noctournal, it would be a different time, say 10PM, and some people do react differently than others to caffeiene. However, the official version assumes diurnal schedules. Alter for your own sleep schedule as needed. ---------------------- The main thing I can say whi...

OMG! Flem is back! So much happy webcomic goodness in my life right now! with one of the dissenters now gone And was that dissenter replaced by a liberal? No. And O'Connor is gone too. As for Clarence "Uncle" Thomas, he voted with the extremists once and he will again on a majority Christofascist (w...

Glad this crisis is over. Here are some things to try to prevent a recurrence: No caffeine or chocolate after noon. Set a regular bedtime; be in bed by then and have lights out and have quiet. No music, nothing. Do the same things before bed every night. The things you do as part of your "bedtime ri...

Unfortunately, with the current supreme court, sexual privacy is in serious danger at the national level too. Before the courts that handed down Griswold V. Connecticut or Lawrence V. Texas, those laws would not stand. However, Lawrence V. Texas is, unfortunately, in serious jeopardy of being a 3 ye...
