Today's xkcd was pretty interesting (as long as one has read the Ender's Game Series). I do think he was being overly pessimistic in the joke though, since I'm optimistic that such a forum would be found by an Amaranthian, or someone like-minded on Facebook.

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 1:34pmif you can get past card's asshole-ish-ness irl, that is. i'm glad i hadn't seen any of his interviews before i read that book.

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 1:46pmYeah, don't ever bother looking up Orson Scott Card as a person. He wrote some good books though. You should probably not buy his books though either. Dilemma.

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 4:46pmUh. Good books are still good books! Well, if you're that opposed to the author then just borrow them from a library. It's not like he's gonna come up to you and ask how you liked the book and force you to take him out for a cup of coffee.

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 6:53pmor pirate them!
Vasya
Wed, 09/16/2009 - 7:02pmYeah, but when you buy his books, some of that money goes to him. That's the dilemma.

Thu, 09/17/2009 - 6:56ami almost didn't buy shadow complex for that reason, but in the end i'm glad i did. i got like 9 hours of pure happiness out of that game, and since he wasn't directly involved in it, i didn't lose too much sleep.

Thu, 09/24/2009 - 8:20amNice! I always wondered what would happen if someone shot a missile into a tornado.

Tue, 10/06/2009 - 12:17pmdepending on the speed and mass of the missile and the power of the tornado, it might go straight through or it might get caught in the vortex and thrown in a completely random direction. Hopefully not back at you.

Tue, 10/06/2009 - 4:41pmunless you hit one of the tornado's vital organs

Plus the memories brought back by the recollection of Legos!

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 4:18pmI was just about to post saying that I didn't remember posting before until I realized that it was last month.
And that's my story.
Also, it's existential crisis week EVERY week.
