Fuck Mother's Day

Either you honour your mother every day or you don't do it at all. I wouldn't need a special day to do that. It's just yet another useless piece of crap day concocted by the greetings card indust...


This guy really is a loathsome fuck, ain't he? "Oh, Michelle Obama publicly did this #bingbackthewimminz thing? Me too!" This guy's fucking our country up and doesn't have time to fix it but h...

Militia

My mood, as explained by Celtic Frost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqMx3h_zKyg I love metal. I fuckin' love metal. I really fuckin' love metal.


Today's a nice enough day, I suppose. It's certainly fine enough for me to blow off doing the housework and sit in the park necking scrumpy and listening to music. I miss my old friends, but the...

August!

Another day...

...another deluge of idiocy. The Gamefaqs forums are rife with whinging at the moment, specifically about Borderlands 2 on the PS Vita. "Waahh wahhh this game sometimes slows down to under 30fp...

Soundtrack

Well, since I'm over on Youtube I figured "fuck it - I might as well post some of my favorite video-game OSTs". And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Goldeneye - The Facility https://www.yout...

Faithless

I'm really in a Faith No More kind of mood today this afternoon, so I'm gonna listen to some. Exciting shit. Fuck you, I just woke up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl9tJ660gwA https://www....

#BringBackOurGirls

Warning: If you are offended, too Goddamn bad. On April 15th, 2014, approximately 276 Nigerian female students were abducted by a group of armed militants from the Government Girls Secondary Sch...


1) What do you think of surveys? I think that surveys are a pretty lame tool used by people who have no idea how to otherwise structure their thoughts into something coherent. 2) Thank you for t...

Moar crap

Yesterday was pretty good. Got the entire DVD collection of Angel, a sweet basketball vest, a Metallica t-shirt and a black long-sleeved shirt from a charity shop for less than a tenner. Very g...

Bored

ED is down yet again, and I really have no idea what to do. I'm bored out of my fucking mind. Pizza in the oven: check. Three consecutive episodes of Buffy: check. Beer: check. Morrowind just abo...

Mac/PC

A question I am often asked - "Wouldn't I be better off with a Mac?" My answer tends to vary but can be sufficiently summed up thusly: I hope this fully answers any questions yo...

The Skull Cracker

Let me get this straight. This guy: Who is delightfully known as the Skull Cracker (the fucking Skull Cracker!) carried out 13 armed robberies in total between June 2001 and April 2002, pistol w...

Good news/bad news

Here's the good news: I managed to get the old LG TV working for optimal Xbox performance. But here's the bad news: the remote's gone walkies so I have to deal with 16:9 ratio. But here's the goo...

Stuff

So Muramasa Rebirth is... interesting. It's pretty good, but it's not like many other games I've played. The graphics for a 2D slash-'em-up are actually pretty astounding, it's really pretty to l...

Gamer shit

Let's see... Got Muramasa Rebirth on the Vita for free thanks to PS+. Playing it now, not too bad. Spent all day on Morrowind. I've now progressed further than I have in the ten years I've been ...

So far

...it's been a pretty lulzy week all round. North Korea QQ'd over the UN's report on North Korea's human rights abuses and responded in a particularly hilarious manner. Some woman in America-ha...

Would you fuck me?

I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy6qX2RNoTU While I'm at it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzGnX-MbYE4

Inkompetent

I just figured out why I can't ever connect with people online for multiplayer Mortal Kombat battles - Gamespy shut down all their fucking servers. Not just for MK, but for every game that connec...

Idiocy

I'm too tired to write out an ultra long entry and I just got my old Xbox working, and Id rather play Halo anyway, so let's be brief. I very nearly fucked my relationship into two like a complet...

Book Description

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MYC5VFuiblU

Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology. Attention is given to both present technologies, like genetic engineering and information technology, and anticipated future ones, such as molecular nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.

The enhancement options being discussed include radical extension of human health-span, eradication of disease, elimination of unnecessary suffering, and augmentation of human intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities. Other transhumanist themes include space colonization and the possibility of creating superintelligent machines, along with other potential developments that could profoundly alter the human condition. The ambit is not limited to gadgets and medicine, but encompasses also economic, social, institutional designs, cultural development, and psychological skills and techniques.
