We had to read Ender's Game.

I was some what annoyed that such a book got onto the state educations reading list, meaning to schools bought hundreds of copies of this book, supporting that asshole Orson Scott Card.

Good book, we had to read this in 8th grade

I am in the boat that if a book is good then it is a good book and it doesn't matter who wrote it.

Nobody is disagreeing with that.

I think the actual fight is wether or not Card being kind of an IRL dick is a reason to not use said Good Book unless it's stolen.

I don't think so. So he's kind of a douche. Lots of people are douches. Sometimes they group together and form a Douche squad. Then they find a name, get legitimized, and become music producers. Other times they stay independent and write engaging, thought-filled mental thrillers about gifted children that is 90% good book, 5% author tract and 5% Ender & co. being nude for no apparent external reason.

Well, he's a bit more than just a dick, he's a religious zealot.

I checked his Wikipedia.

Misread LDS Faith for LSD Faith.

All my WTFs...

You should have been more specific and said that link was 4chan related. Now I need to purge my computer and my brain.

There are some cheeses that taste fine whole.

Though there are a few cheeses that I cannot stand eating on its own. Creame Cheese.... ugh!

Feta cheese is fucking delicious by itself. Literally fucking delicious. It's like a mouthgasm.

I tried it, but the cream and sortof sweetness made it not edible for my tastes.

Sorry I meant to write 'Feta Cheese Crumbles' like cheese croutons for salad. Normal just feta cheese, is yes, a bit much by itself.

I don't particularly feel like giving him money to fund various "family" groups.

Finally did it.  Gave up caffeine last week.  Mixed feelings about the results.  There were a couple days I felt horrible and one day I slept like 16 hours.  Since then, I've had tons of energy.  Not like hyper energy.  Just staying power.  I normally have trouble forcing myself to sleep.  Not actually falling asleep, but willing myself to go lay the fuck down.  I've now gotten even worse about that.  I'm just not getting tired.  Today I woke up after about 4 hours of sleep for a few minutes to deal with something... and couldn't get back to sleep.  Laid there for half an hour and just couldn't fall asleep.  It's been several years since the last time I wasn't able to fall asleep within a few minutes of laying down.  I know I'm going to be tired at work later, but I'm also not going to have nearly the trouble I normally would staying awake and productive through it.

I'm very quickly reverting to the way I was before I started drinking coffee, even though I'm 8 years older.  I need to be awake for around a full 24 hours before I'm ready to sleep.  The only time I've ever been able to manage a normal 24 hour day schedule was when I was horribly caffeine dependent.

[Nadaka]

well, i guess that is one positive thing for caffeine.

I am cutting way back on the stuff myself. I've only had 108 mg of the stuff today.

I'm not off caffeine, but I decided to stop drinking soda. Unfortunately it is the cheapest thing on campus besides water.

[Dutchling]

I just realized I drink a lot of coffee (one a day. Yes, that is a lot for me) lately. I only drink so I have something to do while standing outside next to my smoking friends though >.>

Congratulations on that.  Soda is horrible.

Drink water then. Water is, understandably, the most efficient drink at getting water into your body.

The problems is that I don't really like water. I've never liked water, unless I am very, very thirsty.

I never understood how people can say they don't like water.
I mean... it's water. It's the liquid for drinking.

I don't like water. It's a nonentity. If I wanted to drink flavorlessness, I'll drink water. Generally I prefer to drink something that tastes like literally anything but nothing.
