Youtube is worse than Facebook, except that you can't post image macros. At least I can control who I see posts by on Facebook, and the rare times I check it it's full of semi-lucid commentary.

Youtube comments, on the other hand, are terrible. It's like watching a car crash into something that isn't actually there and then explode. You find yourself completely baffled and thoroughly engrossed.

I tried my first taste of Coffee on Christmas Eve Day. It tasted horrible. Not bitter, like Black coffee is supposed to be, but just... not good. And no, It wasn't Instant Coffee. What the Heck do people find good in that stuff?
I agree with you here.
I reckon that they are all addicted to caffeine, but in denial.
The trick to coffee is finding the right sort. Having a donut handy helps too. I like some vanilla flavored coffee, or better yet, espresso shots!

And I'm not addicted to caffeine! I just need 100 mg a day or I get headaches. And have trouble staying awake. And paying attention. *twitch*


As for youtube comments, they are like looking in the gutter behind a bar and seeing an oozing, slimy substance. The correct response is leaving as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. For those who think it is a good idea to reach in and play around in it, I have little sympathy when they complain of the vomit and herpes on their hand.

You know, there's one thing really making me go what the fuck that just keeps popping up on this and the rage thread.

Why the fuck do so many of you bother with youtube comments?!

There's a difference between trying to get enjoyment out of something that sucks like a bad movie or game, or actively lowering yourself by getting involved with something at all. Youtube comments are the latter.
Worst game is, of course, Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. It's funny reading comments or reviews of it.

Hmm...only time Youtube comments seem useful to me are on Let's Plays, where some of the commenters can have useful advice on the game. Or, occasionally, they offer answers to questions that the video maker asks.

Most videos, though, it's just pointless.

I listen to some Miracle of Sound songs for 5 minutes, and then it hits me: Why the heck isn't he more famous?

Physical descriptions of Sandalphon vary depending on the source. He is uniformly depicted as extremely tall—he exceeds Palaniel (another angel) in height by a 500-year foot journey. During Moses' visit to the Third Heaven, he is said to have glimpsed Sandalphon and called him the "tall angel" (though this legend dates to much later than the time of the Torah). The Babylonian Talmud Hagigah 13b says Sandalphon's head reaches Heaven, which is also said of Israfil and of the Greek monster Typhon, with whom Sandalphon seems to have similar mythological roots. He is also described as being a member of the Sarim (angelic princes), and a Hazzan (master of heavenly song).
In The Greater Key of Solomon, Sandalphon is designated "the left-hand feminine cherub of the Ark". In the liturgy for the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, he is credited with gathering the prayers of the faithful, making a garland of such prayers, and then "adjuring them to ascend as an orb to the supreme King of Kings". In Enoch chapter 3, he is the ruler of the Sixth Heaven (makom) but in the Zohar he is "chief of the Seventh Heaven". According to Islamic lore, he dwells in the Fourth Heaven. As Michael does, he carries on a ceaseless battle with Samael (perhaps Satan), angel of evil.
The ancient sages also referred to him by the name Ophan (Hebrew for "wheel"), a reference to the "wheel within the wheel" from Ezekiel's vision of the merkabah (heavenly chariot) in Ezekiel chapter 1. Sandalphon is also said to be instrumental in bringing about the differentiation of sex in the embryo.
In Kabbalah, Sandalphon is the angel who represents the sephirah of Malkhut and overlaps (or is confused with) the angel Metatron. He is said to appear before the feminine presence of the Shekhinah[1] and supposedly receives the prayers of humans and sends them to God.

"Sandalphon is also said to be instrumental in bringing about the differentiation of sex in the embryo."

Aw yeah, Jesus-fics.

As far as I know, most schools already do have a uniformed police officer on campus during school hours already, the less "complete dumbass" part of proposal is only that money be set aside to pay for a mandate that all schools have such an officer.
I had 2 different officers at my middle school, but neither carried a gun (exception: occasionally they did gun safety things and brought theirs in. I seem to recall an entire school assembly or something like that on the topic).

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

So this talk of YouTube comments and mentioning of Chocolate Rain has made me listen to the song again (awesome voice, some wierd lyrics but very nice overall) and I scroll down to glance at the top comments (it's become some sort of reflex) only to see a fight between Obama, Franklyn, Washington and probably some other presidents too.

What the fuck guys.

Holy shit, it goes deeper, starts with one of those "Anybody else listening to this" comments, made by Jefferson!

Ok guys, YT comments win is a win.

I like Buck's fizz.

If you knew me, you'd be surprised. I hate most alcohol-containing drinks. Also, my breath now smells of Buck's fizz.

Buck's Fizz is the first drink I got into (at too early an age. :P) I still enjoy it on a rare occasion.

Do you know the reputation that Buck's Fizz has? If you don't, it's not far above WKD on the classometer.
