Damn That's Whack - Louis C.K. Defends Masturbation on This Week “And later I’m gonna masturbate and I’m gonna think about you. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Okay, so I'm totally stealing this from I Ain't Got Time to Read That, but it seemed like a really good forum game! Basically, you give the title of a book, a movie, comic, game, website, concept, whatever; and the next person gives a quick summary. Maybe a sentence -- a paragraph at most. I'll...

for six days starting tomorrow. No AC, no phone, no Internet. ugh Sorry for any unreplied VMs/PMs, absences from RPs, and the rest of it. I'll get back to you when I get back. Stay awesome, guys.

Seeing as we have a thread for inconsequential complaints, we should have a thread that counterbalances the negativity. Here, post stories about the seemingly meaningless acts of benevolence without any ulterior motive, either you've done for others or others have done for you, that nonetheless...

Some people are lucky enough to find inspiration in everything they come across; others find it entirely in themselves and they're even luckier; but far too many of us simply can't find am inspiration that matches our burning desire to create, and we end up not creating anything at all. This is...

This article popped up on one of my news feeds, coincidentally as I was musing about the futility of some arguments and debates -- namely evolution and creationism. The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science | Mother Jones An issue the article excluded is ESP and the entire field of...

Yes, this is from the last round, but I really like this concept and it never got used. :( Arena:You are in an office building. A maze of cubicles spans the entirety of the twenty-ninth floor, where you will begin. Frosted glass panels substitute for the walls that separate the executives from...

So I took this political compass test last night, and this was the only assertion that genuinely mired me; I saw equal arguments for and against, and though in the end I chose 'Agree', I don't. And at the same time I do. From a utilitarian perspective, following through with this is ideal: it...

Seeing as we already have a few threads that seek to elicit a general consensus from the roleplaying community across a few topics, I thought I'd throw in this poll to broaden the mix. Some questions for discussion. How often do you read roleplays in which you neither participate nor plan to...

The still of artificial, cabin-crew air pressed against every surface of the aircraft as it cruised, 39,000 feet above sea level, at seven hundred miles-per-hour, a metal bullet in the glint of moonlight. A careful concoction of ozone, lemon-scented disinfectant and the fragrance of used diapers...
