Never thought someone would ever post about me as something they find interesting. I'm ever so proud of myself right now!

The example I always think of is,let's say a heroine addict.He may be killing himself and living a hard life,but if he is happy would you rather be him than a depressed bank manager with a fancy new car,beautiful wife and 3 healthy kids.

Basically,would people rather be accepted or happy?

From doing an awful lot of research on heroin addicts in the last few months, I've yet to find a single one that is happy. They hate their addiction, hate to the bone, but they can't live without it. They need heroin just to prevent withdrawal symptoms - there's little or no high for most addicts. So they're highly unlikely to be happy, unless they're very recent users.

Bit OT, but just thought I'd point that out :P

The last time I felt depressed, thinking about those less fortunate made me feel worse. Instead of making me appreciate all the great things I have in my life, it made me feel (i) angry at all the injustice in the world, (ii) powerless to do anything about those injustices and (iii) more ashamed of myself for feeling so down when my life wasn't that bad.

*tries to think happy thoughts*

He aims his fireballs at your current position, so if you jump before he fires them they'll pass over your head once you land.

This is a fairly awesome bit of animation:

How the hell do you pass the bit with the big tentacled monster that fires balls of...stuff.. at you?

It's kind of down to luck. Sometimes his balls (LOLOL) swerve upwards and away from you, allowing you to shoot him a couple of times. Then it's a matter of jumping over the last one and finishing him.

I love this interview with Dali. As ridiculous and conceited as he may sound, he actually gives some deep truisms here. Respect x1billion!

I think it's based on the Legend of Orpheus

The most famous story in which Orpheus figures is that of his wife Eurydice (also known as Agriope). While walking among her people, the Cicones, in tall grass at her wedding, Eurydice ran into a nest of snakes which bit her fatally on her heel. Distraught, Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone (he was the only person ever to do so), who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition: he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. He set off with Eurydice following and in his anxiety as soon as he reached the upper world he turned to look at her, forgetting that both needed to be in the upper world, and she vanished for the second time, but now forever.

Oddly engrossing, simple, minimalist action platform game.

I don't know why but I really really like it. Could be the music.

I found a comic called Questionable Content. It's entertaining, and witty. Though the guy who writes it is a bit of a doucher, as is evident by the news he posts.

It hasn't been that good as of late though

An astonishing series of experiments is challenging the views of many psychologists and social scientists that human beings are born as 'blank slates' - and that our morality is shaped by our parents and experiences.

Also filling this role is this test, I think this guy was the first to get some good evidence that people all over the world, regardless of their upbringing, religion (or lack of one) or age (as long as they're old enough to answer) will agree in like 90+% of cases about lots of stuff.

Obviously if it's black and white that's to be expected, but a couple of the questions have the same outcome but worded differently and people will consistently, across all groups, make the opposite choices depending how they're worded :P.

EDIT: Ok that's only two questions which are fairly obviously the same one worded differently, there's lectures by him on Youtube which he goes into far more details, changes the situations, etc.

Iran before the Islamic revolution.
Note how the women are showing not only their faces, but their legs too.
In one picture it appears they're even being thought Chemistry.

Amazing how much fairer some places in the middle-east were decades ago.
