Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've heard the Prisoners' Dilemma used to explain why there are so many asshole drivers in big cities. In a small town, it's like the multiple iteration of the Prisoners' Dilemma, so drivers that, say, regularly cut people off will soon find other drivers doing the same to them. But in a large city, a driver is essentially anonymous (in that other drivers will probably never see the driver again) so it's like the single iteration of the Prisoners Dilemma, so it makes sense (in a selfish way) to cut off other drivers so you can get ahead.

Whoa, that makes total sense. Except for the danger part.

PMM might know it, because it is not that far a shot from Evergreen.

Aww, man. Has it gone that far downhill? It didn't used to suck! That much, at least.

Or I was, you know, in college and had a cast-iron stomach or something.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Sadly, it was the new Cédric Klapisch, Paris, in Paris back in February. Clearly, I need to get out more. Why has my local theater not been playing anything I want to see?
