In JESUS name They will be done!

Does everything have to be about the /r/gonewild foursome on the front page today?

Perhaps this will get more love here in TheBugle by FCBSERISin TheBugle

The GOP front-runner wears magical underwear. I think the US political process can process a bit more silliness.

William Gibson: I really can’t predict the future -- The science fiction legend tells Salon that if he had a crystal ball, he'd have put Facebook in an early novel by davidreiss666in scifi

[–]socket0Opsigter 6 points7 points ago

I seem to remember Gibson being around on the WELL a lifetime ago. He certainly knew the Facebook precursors. I think the "newness" of Facebook is probably its ubiquity, the fact that nearly everyone in the world is either on there or knows someone on there. For a while, it might have appeared that only the elite and a few AIs would be wired together into a global network. Turns out this prediction might have been slightly off.

80-year-old Chimp from 1930's Tarzan Movies dies... by rewdeain classicfilms

[–]socket0Opsigter 6 points7 points ago

Yes, this doesn't sound wildly accurate. According to CNN his name is "Cheetah", but Cheeta [sic] was the character's name. And CNN claims that "Cheetah" performed from 1932 to 1934, which Wikipedia says was a chimp called Jiggs. Who died in 1938.

"Reddit Makes Me Hate Atheists." by Rebecca Watson by SolInvictusin TrueReddit

No, that would be quite appropriate for the subreddit. The asshats were just being asshats, independent of philosophical bent.

[–]socket0Opsigter 12 points13 points ago

Indeed. I could tell them anything, or even try and argue, but I certainly couldn't make them. Freedom of speech and defending their right to the death and all that. They're still asshats and idiots, though.

[–]socket0Opsigter 24 points25 points ago

I was one of those who unsubscribed about a year ago. I was sad to go, but I have the right to avoid asshats and idiots. What I didn't have was the right to tell the asshats and idiots to shut up. So I left, and my world just got a little bit better.

University of Johannesburg offers degrees in homoeopathy by syndicatein southafrica

On the bright side, students could presumably show up for the first day only, answer a single question correctly, and be considered present and qualified for the full five years!

Quite appropriately, today (22 September) is Arthur Lowe's birthday.

Blog spammer still spamming (resubmitted) by socket0Opsigterin reportthespammers

[–]socket0Opsigter[S] 0 points1 point ago

Blog spam is just another type of spam, especially for blogs with mostly non-original content. Bloggers collect flotsam and jetsam from around the web (often from reddit itself), re-host the content on their own blog, add some advertising to the pages, and wait for the money to roll in. Very few people actually make money this way, but it does degrade the overall quality of content on reddit.

Contrary to popular belief, it requires more muscles to smile than to frown. by HotHandsin wikipedia

"You're". And doesn't that expression actually refer to condoms and contraception?

Belgians, help me out IDing a beer I had while I was in Belgium. by xj98jeepin belgium

And don't qualify as "regular" tasting.

Reddit. Are there any unknown/underrated web sites or services you think everyone should get familiar with? by xarkonnenin AskReddit

Have you considered the possibility that your friend is fine, and you've simply gone blind? You were warned this would happen, along with the hairy palms...

The Bugle, by John Oliver & Andy Zaltzman (horrible, horrible website, but great podcast) by socket0Opsigterin BestPodcasts

[–]socket0Opsigter[S] 1 point2 points ago

From the Bugle wiki:

In 2010, a day that will go down in history, a brave soul told us we did not need be afraid anymore, uttering the amazing words:

Fuck you, Chris!

And the sun shined the next day
