People I'm dumber than, for sure.

They reversed the MT supreme court on campaign finance

BALLS.

We're gonna need a constitutional amendment to fix campaign finance, and it'll never happen.

Maybe Continuum isn't science fiction, after all. (It's a Canadian science fiction show where the future is entirely run by corporations: there are no governments left, just companies.)

The Red/Blue/Green Mars trilogy assumes the same thing - governments and the UN still exist, but are widely considered to be useless and outdated compared to the "transnats" (transnational corporations).

This does sound like a stupid question, but bear with me: are you stupid?

I mean, basically--I like movies with people I'm dumber than, and I don't feel dumb. So...I like movies about smart people, assuming I'm average.

Yes. Really I like movies about SUPER smart people, assuming I'm smart.

I made such an ass of myself in staff meeting -- yikes. I mean in the sense of not actually remembering what my job entails. I was tired and hungry, both the result of waking up stupid early this morning (so having breakfast early). Ah well.

I always like to read about/watch smart characters.

I like movies about dumb people where I can root for nasty things to happen to them. "Eat the idiot blonde! She's right there! Eat her!"

Regarding last night, for the record, I don't care if she was hooking up or not. I was just in that mom worry zone. Shoot, at her age, I was married and had an infant.

Fiction question--if you had to pick one over the other, would you prefer a story about people dumber than you, or about people you're dumber than?

I'd rather the story be about people smarter than me.

I made an ass of myself in the meeting this morning too, but I'm not apologising for that. If I have to say "What information do you need to do the work on your plate today? Okay, now ask him for it." it's their fault, not mine.

Hey, guys, do you know that Windows will tell you how many files are in a folder if you right click on it and view properties? It's so exciting. Imagine if all Windows developers knew this! The things they could accomplish...

For all you logic fiends: Yo, Is This Liar-Paradoxical?

KurtGrellingIII asked: Hey, sometimes some of my grandparents’ predicate definitions are really impredicative, and it’s so embarrassing when they do it in public I feel like apologising for them, even though they are from a different era I guess. But is it liar-paradoxical of ME if I don’t say anything to them about it?

Yo, a little impredicativity does NOT mean they’re being liar-paradoxical. It might not even be paradoxical at all; chill the fuck out and don’t be so ageist.

I don't understand this blog at all but I love it.
