Ah I see, thanks. That officer sure did do you a favor :D

>In the end I got kicked from the guild for doing something I shouldn't have, which was probably the best thing that could've happened.

Ok, now I'm curious. I'm just thinking with 16h/day you're fairly hardcore, guilds must be after ppl like you, no? Why the kick, if you care to elaborate?

c00ki3son What does it feel like to be stupid? An anonymous Quora user explains.

I have heard the same thing. Someone I know smokes rarely, but he plays chess online quite often. He tells me after every time he smokes (probably just one or two joints) his performance is noticeably worse for a week after. And this is from someone who just smokes maybe once a month if at all, daily smoking could impair your cognitive abilities a lot more. But then again this is all more or less anecdotes, still seems to be something about it though.

c00ki3son More than you ever wanted to know about Marijuana strains

This! If you're watching futurama for the 10th time, you have to wonder if your time might be put to more use elsewhere. It's actually quite funny, not only makes pot stuff more interesting, you also forget a lot of details which makes is much easier to do them again and again and ....

(Regarding your marijuana point: I have seen the impact of daily pot smoking on friends, and it is quite real. I have also seen the effect go away when they stopped smoking. Sounds like a cliché out of a book on morals, but it is the truth

Hi fredoliveira

Would you mind elaborating on this a little? It's an area of personal interest. Only for scientific reasons of course ;)

c00ki3son My son is mistaking a smartphone for his mother

Ok, I'm really unsure, I was absolutely certain this whole article was a joke. But the comments don't seem to reflect that. This is actually happening? Putting your kids to sleep with an iPhone? What ever happened to singing?

c00ki3son Spades and Men

Holt sh!t I read it all. Do I get a cookie?

On a more serious note, seeing that the author is not exceptionally trustworthy (apparently), how much of it is real and how much isn't? Seems plausible to me at least, but I wouldn't know for what to look out.

c00ki3son The sad truth about Facebook

Just thought I'd add this, here in Europe (Switzerland to be precise) nobody I've ever met uses Twitter. Facebook is omnipresent (omnipotent? ;)), but most folk don't even seem to know of Twitter (apart from techies, but still no users). Of course, small sample size etc.

I can't watch this video and read the subtitles. If your main language is German (and you've actually seen the original movie) it just doesn't work. I get pulled into the movie and just can't focus on the subtitles. Also trying to read wrong subtitles hurts my brain.

Let me just say this: A tucked in tshirt looks bad. Shirt tucked is something else, but a tucked tshirt just doesn't look right. It's like trousers that are a little short. Not horrible, but just not right.
