“You kids are so absorbed in your phones these days. My husband and I only know...”
– An old lady at a table next to me and James started talking to us, as we were each messing with our phones and not talking to each other while eating.
“I don’t understand the guys who wash their hands after. You know? I mean...”
– Andrew Khan while washing his hands BEFORE peeing.

“After being re-trained with the elevated learning rate, DISCERN began putting...”
– Scientists afflict computers with ‘schizophrenia’ to better understand the human brain
Pretty neat stuff.
Need a thesis?
I’m too lazy to see if the gap in the literature I just thought of is actually a gap in the literature or not. Nevertheless, according to Cognitive Consistency theory, if after a bad breakup your friends try to persuade you that “She wasn’t any good anyway” you will experience dissonance as your long-held attitude towards your previous partner is shifting (almost entirely...

I haven’t blogged anything substantial in forever. I refer you to the last paragraph of this post for the explanation. Also, look at this old post of me and my dad leaning over Niagara Falls like a couple of bosses.
So yes, I’ve done nothing in a very long while. I would like to do something, but not with just anyone. I hear the women on Risa are nice. I’ve got some scratch on...
