“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Time management for cranky misanthropic bastards

The original title of this post WAS supposed to be “Time management for introverts”, but I figure Vox probably wouldn’t mind this version too much: I wouldn’t call myself a master of time management. I’m lazy, I procrastinate, and I am...

Domain Query: HALO 4 and the Red Pill

A drive-by commenter had a few questions about my post on dual-wielding: I don’t necessarily disagree, but were I to make the same argument, I don’t think I’d pick as my primary example, games where the dual-wielder in question is an explicitly...

Snap City, here we come…

Or, as the line goes in the criminally underrated comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, “Ouchtown, population you, bro!”: Yeah, OK, there are two really hot girls in tank tops in there somewhere, but this is still an extremely funny video to watch, in a...

Diplomacy that actually works

It has been written somewhere that diplomacy involves telling someone to go to hell in such a way that he actually looks forward to the trip. If that is true, then I say we make this woman Secretary General of the United Nations: An adviser in Serbia’s Ministry of...

Seven lessons in leadership, learned the hard way

Anyone who has been reading this blog for a while knows that I spend a lot of time writing on the subject of deep introverts and our place within our wider society. For those folks unfortunate enough not to understand us very well- i.e. pretty much everyone else-...

You need a dose of Bro Science

This is possibly the funniest episode of Bro Science I’ve seen yet: This is a particularly good one considering that 7 hours ago, I was in the gym watching this bone-thin Asian chick in the Smith machine pretending that those ridiculous half-squats she was doing...

Dual-wielding is awesome nonsense

As a result of my need to feed my massive HALO addiction, I’ve been replaying the games from HALO WARS all the way through to HALO 4 once again. It’s something I do every 3-6 months, partly to remind myself of just how amazing that game series still is,...

Even atheists need churches

This has to be one of the funniest and yet most ridiculous things I’ve seen yet: On Sunday, the inaugural Sunday Assembly in Los Angeles, Calif. attracted several hundred people bound by their belief in non-belief. Similar gatherings in San Diego, Nashville, New...
