Well... if nobody would care, why would it be surprising?
We’ve got GoET’s usersguide series to cover most of the basics. And nobody ever actually looks at those except when they’re posted once a year (and maybe, maaayyybe one out of every 150 noobs gets linked to it). They’re not even linked on the sidebar – DShep’s massively outdated “LSB Almanac” is (which is kind of a travesty, really).
Aside from that, it’s not like we’re like YTMND or something where people actually do enough cool and unique stuff to warrant a wiki. Anything GoET doesn’t cover basically isn’t really worth covering.

i gave up church for 2012
i am at this weird point in life. growing up catholic, god was always there. went to college and started reading different stuff, and studied greek and read the new testament in the greek and had kind of a falling out with god. and now i am just starting to be religious again. it’s just hard to believe a lot of the stuff about the new testament.
my greek professor (who is also a religion professor and a pastor), told it to me like this:
do you believe fairy tales are true? (no)
do you believe that fairy tales can teach us things? (yes)
as your greek professor, i believe that Jesus did not perform any miracles, but are merely anecdotal in nature. as your religion professor, i believe that jesus performed every miracle in the bible

I ask that reason replace faith in our discourse
I ask that people consult a science textbook and not one of dozens-hundreds of “holy” books on matters of morality, which, like science, is constantly shaped and refined and questioned.
That’s all I ask. If your belief system can accomodate rational inquiry, then it stays. If not, why are we clinging to it so desperately when every other sphere of the human intellectual arena has moved on?

"We" aren't clinging to it; you've made that clear.
You believe what you believe and others disagree. You assume you are right because you base your firmly-held beliefs in things called “science” and “reason,” both of which are at least slightly provable.
An integral part of my faith is constantly shaping, refining, and questioning the way I view things— the way my personal views work in a real and modern world. I know there are others who view things similarly. Is that a more acceptable viewpoint to you?

I feel I am qualified to say that Rick Santorum does call upon reason or scientific inquiry
when determining whether or not homosexuality is moral, much less natural. Or when deciding on the level of separation between the church and the state. Or when deciding whether or not women should have access to birth control.
Or any other issue, for that matter.

Then there's this little gem from today...
"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
Is that critique internal or external to the belief system under examination?
Does it matter if a particular belief system cannot accommodate rational inquiry if its adherents nonetheless rely on public reason in our political discourse? If so, how does it matter?
"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
But we don't
Pick your poison (abortion, death penalty, gay marriage, legalization of drugs, etc) and ask people what criteria they use to formulate their stance/opinion on the issue.
See how many will point to what The Bible (or Koran, or Gita, etc) says.
I want to know the science behind these issues. When do higher cognitive processes begin in a human fetus? Do statistics demonstrate a reduction in capital crimes in death penalty states? Do statistics indicate a reduction in drug related crimes in nations that restrict drug possession/distribution (and do studies show legitimate damage from certain drugs)?

I'm asking this question as a philosophical matter.
I understand that many adherents to many belief systems do not, in practice, provide public reasons to justify their positions on a vast array of political issues. What I’m asking you is whether, in questioning those positions, we should focus more on critiquing the adherents of belief systems or the belief systems themselves.
I think the answer to that question is important, particularly when we’re talking about questions with normative elements that “science” cannot fully resolve.
"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
Of course we question the belief system and not the believer
I understand why people want to believe in life after death. I understand why people want to believe in divine justice in an unjust world. I understand the motivations and fears and hopes that drive people to believe irrational things, just for the sake of having some hope.
But I don’t want our foreign and domestic policies to be driven by wishful thinking. I want to be able to elect an atheist president (good luck with that!) I want to be able to see someone stand up and go “what do the facts tell us?” instead of “I’ll pray about it” or “God tells me he wants us to do this _.”

When people that I know say "I'll pray about it" or "God tells me ___"
They’re not saying that they will sit in meditation until the Will of God strikes them like a thunderbolt. They are saying, I think, that they will apply their own rational processes in light of the moral/ethical teachings of the Bible, which I absolutely believe have tremendous value, to come to a conclusion. Even the most devout believers that I know understand that if you truly wait for God to open the heavens and rain wisdom down upon you, you will be waiting forever.

I think the idea that "the facts" will fully resolve difficult questions about, say, abortion and capital punishment
Is hopelessly naive. And that’s true whether we live in a world full of rational non-believers or in the pluralist society that we actually have.

Particularly on something like abortion, where the debate centers on a concept of "life" that is inherently difficult to define.
You have to agree on what life actually is before you can scientifically determine when it begins, and that argument (defining life) is by far the biggest part of the battle.

That God holds the Truth
While doctrine is important, believers are just giving their best guesses as to that Truth because we don’t see as God sees. Outside of Jesus Christ as Savior, other points of doctrine need to remain free to debate, realizing that we’re just human and imperfect. The goal is to live as Jesus did, not at each other’s throats because of a different eschatological view, or ecclesiastical view, etc.

You see, this seems to be a distillation (sp?) of Christian theology into its primary component
Scientific and historical evidence has thrown the rest of the peripheral elements (talking donkeys, etc) in to question, but the core of the Christian religion is Jesus. So just accept Jesus’s sacrifice/resurrection and you’re good.
It’s rationality trying to poke its way through an irrational (and outdated) system of belief.

I hold no more contempt for the stories of Moses and Isaac than I do of Enkidu or Utnapishtim or Hercules or Hector or Amaterasu. They are stories, part of our collective heritage and mythology, and try to demonstrate moral lessons through parable.
You’ve already mentioned that you’re not a literalist. It’s the literalist interpretation of the Bible that is irrational and outdated, Aqua.

A scholar, above all things, wants to LEARN
Education is an ongoing experience. Those who do not learn do not LIVE. Scholarship does not end at the perimeter of the college campus.
Disciples do not question. Disciples are at the very infant stage of learning. They simply absorb, embrace, and implement the teachings of their prophet/instructor.

i also played fallout 3 for about 10$
when you consider how much time i spend playing them (and enjoy it) it comes out to be a few pennies an hour for something i greatly enjoy.

Combat in Skyrim is offensively boring.

KOA combat is a cross between God Of War and Devil May Cry, at least to me. With more RPG elements.

My wife, being my wife, decided to do the sex announcement by Youtube video.
She made a very elaborate video/slideshow with a movie maker program that we have and clicked on the “Upload to Youtube” button. After it compiled and uploaded, she sent an email with the Youtube link to all of our family.
About five minutes later (it was a long video), we get calls from both of our parents, asking us in a very agitated tone what we’re having. Turns out the upload process cut the last 20 seconds off the video, ending it on the slide “We’re having a….” I had to quickly re-upload, but they got so upset thinking that we did it intentionally.

Sources say Dallas is about ready to move on from the Roddy Beaubois experiment. The Mavericks have thought for years that the talented young Frenchman could be another Tony Parker, but he has not been able to master the move from shooting guard to point guard. Nor has he been able to fill the void left by J.J. Barea. If they don’t move him before this year’s deadline, he could be gone over the summer.

With my usual disclaimer of not knowing anything about basketball
I always though Roddy got a bit of a raw deal. Could never quite get healthy and Carlisle never seems to trust him… I thought he plays well when he gets a chance.
With the West so tight right now, there's no time for learning on the job.
He’s making the same mistakes he did his rookie year.

Yea
you already have those other people who know you’re somewhere close. The idea that taking their friend that they left for dead is going to get them to come find you seems a little far fetched.
They have no way of knowing what happened to him.

we still dont know exactly what that group is capable of.
he could have a walkie talkie on him that rick and them didnt find. add that to rick and the gang killing 4 of that groups dudes and it sets up a pretty compelling case for the group to find their way over to the farm to start some kind of war. the 2 guys from the bar made it seem like they already knew about the farm to some degree. it might be next on their list of places to check out.

Something has to push them out.
It’s fairly obvious that one reason they leave is to take the injured guy somewhere else. That will be how they run into The New Others.

Having watched the two latest episodes, I definitely like Shooting Rick over Brooding Rick. Also, Herschel telling Shane to STFU was pretty awesome.
I kinda hope by season’s end, Shane and Rick put aside their differences, team up to kill Lori, and consummate their bromance by killing the fuck out of tons of zombies.

I agree with most of this.
Rango would be top 10 for me, and Arthur Christmas would be no where near this list.
Tinker Taylor is an incredibly flawed film, but I think it should be around #15 or so.
I haven’t seen A Separation yet, so Hugo would easily be #1 for me.
Being Elmo, Greatest Movie Ever Sold, and Paradise Lost 3 are the docs I would have on the list. Being Elmo is incredible.
Martha Marcy May Marlene would be close to top ten as well.

Yeah, that's a shit ton of money per episode of a local network show
especially one in its first season. It really needed to be on HBO/Showtime or something like that that could afford that episode price tag for a shorter season.

well and the whole not being able to have kids and everything.
and her cheating on kumar didnt have much to do with them breaking up. if anything, her and barney hooking up was probably the best thing that happened to her.

Then its fine
I had a buddy that went to Kuwait for a few years. After the first year his wife went to live with him (from Texas) and after a couple more she made him quit and move back because he was subconsciously starting to take on their “qualities” of how they treat women. It isn’t pretty either. I would go for the experience (and the tax free money) for a year or two but don’t stay too long or the misogyny of the region will rub off on you.
@AdamLikesBeer If you are in Minneapolis I can tell you where to get a good brew.

UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc do a lot of contracting to foreign employees, which might be ok.
I wouldn’t want to live there much longer than a year or two though.

I didn't think UAE was one of those that would give you trouble over it
I know several of them won’t allow you entry if you have evidence of travel to Israel in your passport though.

Hmm, I'll have to double check.
Then again, the info was from my dad, so who knows.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
Hmmm, per Wikitravel
Israeli citizens are banned by the UAE government from entering the country. However, despite much online misinformation to the contrary, as of 2008 Israeli visa stamps are — by official policy — quietly ignored.
For a US citizen, they’d probably just give you a hard time at the border for a few mins unless you’ve been to Israel recently.
Still, that’s harsher than I realized for UAE. Egypt doesn’t give people problems about it.

Still illegal on the books

Raised in Northeast Los Angeles and in Northern California, Moore joined the American post-hardcore band From First to Last as the lead singer in 2004, and recorded two studio albums with the band (Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count, 2004, and Heroine, 2006) before leaving to pursue a solo career in 2007.

Great quote from DSK's lawyers...

“People are not always clothed at these parties. I challenge you to tell the difference between a nude prostitute and a classy lady in the nude,” Leclerc told French radio in December.

I really really really really hate this "pre-order the game and get new items" trend in gaming
Just another mark against Deus Ex: HR, which had a full extra mission (and items) for pre-ordered copies.
Bah.

I don't like the trend at all
but if it is happening, as someone who doesn’t live in the US, I like it happening in a way I can actually get in on it.
