I cannot do that and therefore immediately assume you have hips like Megara

Not quite that big, XD.  But if I cock my hip I can get a good 3-4 inch ledge to carry things on, which is pretty cool.

[Xantalos]

I can do that as a guy.

[GiglameshDespair]

I can't.

Am... am I fat?   

[Sirus]

You might just have narrow hips I guess.

[AlleeCat]

I can't.

It just means you don't have very womanly hips like I do :3

[Dutchling]

I can't.

Am... am I fat?   

Nah, just pudgy.

[Yoink]

Hips are important, guys! D:
How can you shake your hips if you don't have hips to shake?!

[Bauglir]

Grave robbery.

Pete Seeger, an amazingly influential musician, and my personal hero passed away yesterday at 94. A huge inspiration to me as a musician and to many others, I'm not ashamed to say I teared up when I read the news. If you've ever sang a protest song, if you've ever enjoyed folk music, you have Pete Seeger to thank. An activist, an amazing musician and a genuinely nice guy (I had a chance to meet him at the Newport Folk Festival a few years ago), he kept playing music up until the day he died, touring with his grandson in his nineties. He wrote song that inspired people, and inspired people to sing along. "We Shall Overcome," a defining song of the civil rights movement in the 1950's and 60's was co-written by him, along with timeless folk classics like "Turn, Turn, Turn", "Goodnight Irene", "Waist Deep In The Big Muddy", "If I Had A Hammer" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and yet remained humble, shunning commercialism. He didn't care about being popular, he cared about making a change and inspiring people to sing. If you don't know who he is, google him right now, you'll thank me. Probably the most badass 94 year old out there (in addition to marching with the Occupy protesters at age 92, he still lived in the cottage he built with his hands in 1949, and was chopping wood and playing music not a few days before he passed).

I can't express in words how much his music has inspired me, and how much his actions as a musician have inspired me as a person. Rest in peace, Pete Seeger: thank you for taking some of the early blows so that music could be what it is today.

This was posted on Hacker News today, potentially as tribute. It also makes me sad, in an amused (at his answers) sort of way.

I remember reading that ages ago for a project I did on him in high school. His answers are amazing. The best part in when they ask him about the song he sung, and he offers to sing it for them right there although "it may be hard without my banjo".

And of course:

MR. SEEGER: I continued singing, and I expect I always will.

Another entry in "MSH attempts to break the Prisoners Dilemma" has failed. The worst part is that this experiment was a purely positive one, and I even got the morons to break it for a single round. Yet, inexplicably, despite seeing their massively increased profits they immediately went back to being assholes. Even after retaliating to this with a MAD strategy they didn't get the picture.

A series of economic experiments conducted by my university, that result in being paid actual money. The exact details vary but they've all boiled down to a Prisoner's Dilemma thus far. I can't directly communicate with my teams, but I try to communicate through my actions that cooperation>competition. Technically speaking you could make a little more money by competing, but it's impossible because it relies upon everybody else constantly going all in and ignoring you being a greedy asshole. To put it into perspective, I got about 30% of what I would have gotten (and everybody on the team would have gotten" had we gone total cooperation every round. The aforementioned impossible perfect competition scenario would result in one person getting about 110% of the total cooperation scenario and everybody else getting near-0%.

They are so god damn stupid. This was the most obvious of all of the scenarios thus far. All they had to do to make us all rich was to not compete. Ugh.
