Guys love to pile on the complaints of women only dating bad boys. Of course, most men only judge women by exterior appearances. Point? Both sexes are shallow and largely responsible for their own dating problems. Still, it makes for great explanations on why everyone else’s dating philosophy is so wrong.
If you watch too many sitcoms you’d start to think this was a persistent problem in dating. Maybe it is in some places. I think if you feel the need to discuss it as a problem too often, maybe you need to change your approach to dating.
Usually teachers are excited for a student to ask a question. We want students engaged. There’s a moment we realize that they’re actually asking something we’ve already said four or five times. In that moment you can see pride turn to disgust. Go ahead, kill a little bit of your teacher’s soul.
It’s kind of funny when a player is superstitious and refuses to change their socks during a winning streak. It’s kind of sad when a fan does the same thing. You hope that they’re just kidding and don’t actually believe they have anything to do with the game.
You hope.
I always feel this way when someone starts telling me the importance of some video game or movie. Sure, many are culturally significant, but rarely are they as important to the world as they are to the individual. And usually even then they’re not nearly as important to that person as they at first believe.
In other news, that guy playing Batman was pretty awesome.
Today Wikipedia is going dark along with Reddit and many other sites to protest SOPA and PIPA. Both are bills hoping to protect intellectual property owners, but you likely already know all of this. Censorship is never the right answer.
By the way, some conventions that attract, umm, nerdy types have started to ask them to bathe and wear deodorant. Yep, this is one of those ripped-from-the-headlines type strips.
This originates from the fact that I har people say this far too often. They tell me they support some disease, and not the fight against that disease. Of course, the fight against a disease is kind of goofy sounding too, but still a better option.
If you ever frequent deal sites, even something like Groupon, you’ll notice how easy it is to be seduced into buying crap. Wait, 50% off something I would never consider buying otherwise? I must be saving money on that deal! It’s a weird psychological reaction, because I suspect it isn’t as effective for many online customers when retail stores do the same thing.
Students tell me all the time that they don’t read. Yet they spend endless time parked in front of a computer. I know they’re not spending all that time watching YouTube or playing games. Heck, even most computer games require a fair amount of reading. Then there’s the fact that nearly every waking moment spent away from a computer is spent with their face buried in another electronic screen. They’re reading; they simply may not be reading anything of quality.
There is always the danger in religion that it becomes more about advertising and meeting goals, than it does about the end goal. Some might argue all religion is already this way, but they’ve obviously not paid close attention. Some truly take it to another level. It’s save them at all costs.
