The hypothesis for my thesis is incorrect.  It doesn't really matter, I can write about how I was wrong and what that means, but still... I was wrong.  And not a little wrong.  Even if it had been statistically significant, the effect was so close to zero that SPSS expressed it in scientific notation.

I finally got around to really looking at this Deep Dream thing, and it's both awesome and terrifying, but I really wish people would stop uploading porn to it. I like my NSFWness as much as the next guy, but I really don't think it belongs on something like this. I guess it was inevitable, but.. time and a place, right?

When I was little, I was fed the standard "don't talk to strangers" line.  When my younger sister was born while I was in kindergarten, I remember sitting in a room with my dad.  There was an older lady sitting next to us, and for whatever reason that I can't remember, she gave me a quarter.  My dad said "what do you say?", and I stayed quiet because, in my mind, the lady was a stranger and I wasn't supposed to talk to her.  So in the end my dad got mad that I didn't thank the lady, and I was left really confused because I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do.

It's just something that still annoys me whenever I think about it.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Someone linked an article about LGBT presentation in RPGs to the Facebook group of Traveller and asked if certain NPC was actually gay. (That NPC never got married because "women could not compete with the closeness he felt with his male telepathic retainer" and instead opted to clone a heir to his throne.)

100 replies later we have an "Old school homophobe" complaining that "Obama protects Afghan rapists" and anyone who disagrees with is gay.

We actually had some good points near the start of that conversation. We actually had intelligent and polite debate over whether or not representation in fiction matters. Some people changed their minds over the issue. Then a certain somebody woke up and everything went downhill.

...Then again, he also explains that he got a vasectomy so that women couldn't "trap" him. (Why he needed to bring up that detail is unclear and I am afraid to ask.)

the constant flooding in my neighbourhood is annoying yet it is also fun to watch cars and trucks stalling in the flood waters. 

yet i also found a rainbow scarab trying to escape the oncoming flood of doom three days ago.

The stupid Darude Sandstorm meme.  Every time someone asks about a song used in a video, some jackass has to say Sandstorm and the real answer is never given. 

What a waste of a meme.

Ugh... I WISH it would die out.  Sometimes a person just wants to know the name of a bloody song.  Is it honestly that much to ask?  If you don't know the name, don't post a tired meme that makes me want to punch my screen; keep your bloody mouth shut.

I guess we have to go back to the old days of Googling part of the lyrics. Of course, if there are no lyrics, you're fucked.

Exactly.  That's the only thing I usually ask about.  Instrumentals and VGM I really like.
