“In addition, when buyers receive negative Feedback, they reduce their activity in the marketplace, which in-turn harms all sellers.” Uh, no shit. Bad buyers reducing their activity in the marketplace is a GOOD thing, because it keeps other sellers from being hit by an awful buyer. shawnblog: (via focsa)

People who go on moral crusades might as well wear T-Shirts that say “I’m a hypocrite!” joshuatuscan: syntheticpubes:Daniel Thompson, the guy behind Flix Club, an Orem, Utah video store that, like Clean Flicks before it, edited sex, nudity, and swearing scenes from Hollywood movies, has been arrested for paying for sex with 14-year-old girls.

Not sure if all of you know this, but my wife, anja, is Canadian. When we went through all the immigration jazz, we paid the government around $900 in filing fees. Now, it’s two years after she was granted Permanent Resident status, and we have to file another form, and they want another $545! What. The. Fuck? This is such a totally absurd bureaucracy. anja’s been trying to save up...

Jerome Kerviel, a 31-year-old arbitrager for the French bank Societe Generale recalled by many of his acquaintances as a mediocrity, was arrested in Paris for allegedly losing $7 billion of his employer’s capital in fraudulent stock bets. Experts linked the bank’s unwinding of Kerviel’s trades to last...

A tip: don’t go to Rambo to meet girls. — lonelysandwich My boyfriend and his friends celebrated “Rambo Day” yesterday by doing the following: 1. Going to see the new Rambo movie 2. Eating a “meat and potatos” dinner consisting of chicken wings, ribs, and mashed potatos. 3. The original plan included a “Rambo situation room” in which the previous three...

Failed Openings
I was stuck on the assignment “House of Prayer” and tried writing story openings until I got an idea. “There is no God here tonight,” he muttered to the woman. “I’m a master of the occult,” pleaded the man at my door. I heard a sound like bodies rotting coming from the Church. “I’m only here for the wafers.” There was something about conning Quakers that didn’t seem Kosher. —...

A good sampling of the talent that is present on Vimeo.
Here’s something you should try: Find a way to lightly wet your underarm with apple cider vinegar (wet a folded paper towel or a sponge with apple cider vinegar). Then put a dusting of baking soda on top of the layer of vinegar. You can use your fingers or you can use a makeup brush or pad. This creates the best deoderant I have ever used. It makes your underarm smell totally neutral. I put...
Regarding Anthony’s post about telling users “no”: It’s incredibly difficult to deal with a large number of users who all have an opinion about how something should work. One guy wants a higher level of customization, the next guy thinks it’s already too difficult to use. Lots of people don’t even seem to understand that new features are not just switches that...

STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE - THE STEVE-O EMAILS →
It’s not an act.
People with joint email accounts (ie, “John and Becky Smith”) always have the most ridiculous questions.
I drank some cayanne pepper in tea to help with my sore throat and now I’m going deaf in my right ear. Not good.
My duty is done. I got called for a case, but they didn’t like my opinions, so now I don’t have to serve on a jury for two years.
jeremiah: ok, so if otherkin are elves and otakukin are the real-world-locked souls of anime characters...

Sitting at Multnomah County Courthouse. The little old lady who’s running the show in the Jury room said her computer is acting up because “it had a day off.” Dudes near me are talking about the stock market sucking today. I’m drinking four different kinds of tea (Chammomille, Ginger, Ginseng, and Echinacea) because I have a sore throat and I’m not into getting the...

Cloverfield mini-review
Don’t see it if you have any problems with motion sickness. I don’t, and I was still incredibly uncomfortable and won’t be able to consume anything for a while. Imagine filming the Blair Witch Project after a lot of coffee in the back of a U-Haul driving across the Pennsylvania Turnpike in April.Content: It was like a 90-minute-long trailer. Fans of J.J. Abrams won’t be surprised by much. A few...
