I'll get the dimensions and get back to you.

It's a local movie theater in a conservative town consisting of a large senior population. In order to refrain from pissing off the natives (Dip-spit is hard to clean off of these movie theater floors, believe it or not.), I would stay away from left-wing ideas, dead fetus jokes (Dead BABY jokes don't have to do with abortions, so they're ok), Reagan, and the 2nd Amendment.



EDIT: Apparently we should stay away from Bigfoot jokes, too. My conservative Republican Catholic family didn't like this when I posted it on Facebook:

Maybe if Bigfoot was a she they wouldn't find it so objectionable?

I'm not posting much because I'm jobsearching.  Just so you know.

Good luck. What kind of jobs are you searching for?

Ready Player 1, which is basically a cyberpunk retelling of the golden ticket contest portion of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I really enjoyed that book.

Theres a woman running for the greens with no political experience who has acted as a chartity worker so I guess I'll vote for her.

The Green candidate for me is pretty much the male equivalent. Mid-twenties charity worker and occasional Huffington Post UK contributor. Sounds like a sure bet.

He's against HS2 which I have never understood all the hate for. High-speed rail sounds good to me. But other than that his policies aren't too bad.

So voting is tomorrow and I still have no idea really who I will vote for or why indeed I should vote for anyone in particular.

There is so much rhetoric and one-sided opinions being thrown around by not only party leaders but the TV/newspapers/internet. I guess part of the problem is I don't know who or what to believe when i'm told things.

That raises an interesting point on the skill of critical thinking and whether we are adequately taught such a thing as we grow up but that's probably a discussion for another thread.

What are all your thoughts on the matter?

Got 88% on my Cognitive Neuroscience midterm, evidently because I didn't use enough bullshit jargon terms, and also apparently because I needed to explain the words "mechanism" and "stable".

I don't even want to talk to him, he's a senile dinosaur trapped in a mire of psychology jargon. He keeps talking about how cognitive neuroscience needs a "grand unified theory" and I want to dropkick him and his whole class and shit on them from a great height.

Isn't 88% good? What are the grade boundaries?

Your insolence is being reported to Il Galateo.

Which Mexican warlord is he again?

He's the one commanding Generals Samuel Jackson and Raging Erection.

He's the one aggressively trying to push pistachio flavoured ice-cream onto the defenceless Mexican public.

Fun little read about (I guess) the difference between the mind and the body and how that divide relates to those trying to find 'enlightenment' and the difficulties of quantifying such things.

It was entertaining, but ultimately I felt it was pointless.

There is no mind/body divide, the idea that there is is merely an artifact of consciousness, which is an emergent property driven by the complex interactions of our nervous system.

That was well put. I don't have the understanding/vocabulary to really properly discuss such ideas but I find thinking about it fascinating.

What does this button do?

Time slowed to a stop.

There shouldn't be visitors tonight.

Sudden realisation: we are lost.

Sudden realisation: all is lost.

So things are going to run (slightly more) smoothly for ten days?

Until Lillie returns and gets to tell you all about how WRONG you have been doing things in her absence, of course.

PD.com: troll bootcamp?

Penile dejection is a pretty accurate summation of my love life in recent years.
