Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Nagoya Univ is ending admissions to its undergrad program for, specifically, privately-funded international students. (But they can still apply to the international program, and govt-funded students can still come). What problem is this supposed to be solving?? www.nagoya-u.ac.jp/admissions/n...

I've said it before and I will keep saying it. Watching the show, the movies, or reading the books puts money in her pocket. Even if you pirate them, you're contributing to the popularity of the franchise. JKR is an objectively awful person who actively harms others. Don't be an accomplice.

Honestly, if you can find the love hotels that are also trying to serve as business hotels, even better. I stayed at one with some friends when we went to an academic conference, and it was awesome -- great room service, great amenities, and I didn't have to talk to anyone.

So many cyclist deaths begin with a stationary driver blocking the bike lane. The disconnect between cyclists, who see this as a life-threatening reckless action, and drivers, who see this is a minor parking infraction, is what often leads to discord.
