So, I have this External Hard Drive and I need to reformat it on the MAC because MACs are too butt-fucking stupid to write to NTFS.
I'll google this to find an explanation of how to do this but I wondered if anyone else had any experience with reformatting an external hard drive via a MAC so that the pwecious little fucker could wite to it.
One of the America's Got Talent Judges crashed his Segway.
I'll give you a moment to enjoy that sentence.
"As first reported by The NY Post’s Michael Starr, Morgan was riding the Segway on the Santa Monica Pier, when he accelerated too quickly and hit a curb."
Apparently if you are fat you're not fat but rather you're infected with Human Adenovirus-36 which "turns adult stem cells retrieved from fat tissue into fat cells". Of course, Dr Magdalena Pasarica quickly qualified this by saying, "We're not saying that a virus is the only cause of obesity, but this study provides stronger evidence that some obesity cases may involve viral infections."
Yes. That's awesome. Give fatties some compelling science to throw into their rhetoric! ".05% of obesity cases involve Human Adenovirus-36! That means my obesity is caused by Human Adenovirus-36! Now give me some chicken wings! Nom nom nom."
But why stop here? Global Climate Change? That's a virus too. It's not the fact that we covered the planet in black tar and concrete, cut down the trees, and filled the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. Nah. It's a virus. Same thing with stupid. Kids aren't stupid; they have a virus. AIDS? Yeah. That's a virus too.
Ok, maybe AIDS is a virus. But I think we can all agree that fatasses aren't tragic victims of anything other than themselves.
I fucking love Nancy Grace. I don't say that often enough. Here is a clip on Nancy talking and her group of panelists talking about whether Lindsy Lohan ought to go to jail. Keep in mind that Lohan has not been tried or convicted of any crime.
Most of the time Grace is performing outrage for the camera; it's what sells. In this clip, honestly believe that she is totally thrown by what her guests are saying. Not that they are having a discussion about anything that really matters. But, however, that is hardly the point. Why would a channel called "Headline News" talk about the news, over even headlines.
I tend to think that I know at least something about philosophy. I have a piece of paper that says I know stuff, I took some classes, I've read some books, and people who have, "Ph. D" after their name told me I was good at it. So when I tell other people that they are doing something wrong when they "think about stuff" I tend to think that I have a bit of credibility behind that claim. Not as much as I could, mind you, but I have more than people who have less than me.
There's an article on msnbc about What exactly is life? because apparently some scientists are saying words and Seth Borenstein thought he could get an article out of it. Here's what bothers me, though. Most people, when asking questions like this, fuck up. Not because the question is bad, but rather because they're asking the question out of order.
Take, for example, the question, "What is the meaning of life?" You've heard it, asked it, and probably thought about it at 4:00 a.m. with a group of friends. The problem with this question, though, is that it presupposed something. It presupposes that there IS a meaning to life, skips the question of whether or not there is one, and then just goes right ahead with the quest to find what that something is. It's akin to a Boy Scout trying to find a snipe. They're in the woods with a bag looking for the damn thing, but they've forgotten the MOST IMPORTANT PART: Is there a snipe?
That's just something that bothers me. People embark upon these mystical quests through thoughts before they assess whether or not the thing for which they quest exists. And that's just an indication that they really don't know what they fuck they're doing, despite how much they might think that they do.
