  1.  

    Are increased ER visits and arrests on full moons a statistical coincidence?

    Yes.

     

    Do you crave different food in February than you do in July?

    Since July is in winter I tend to eat more spicier foods than normal.

     

    Are spring and fall times of change for you personally?

    Nope.

     

    Is November melancholy everywhere?

    Late spring and you're melancholy?

  2. Much like Lilith uses only lower case to denote sarcasm, the studies look at punctuation, emoticons, and in Twitter tweets the use of hash marks. Maybe some day we can use that research here. :)

     

    The proper use of sarcasm is much harder to pick up than just lack of punctuation and grammar

  3. I haven't really bought that many games. The ones that I did buy I've played tons of, apart from that I played the crap out of the demos so much that I'm not tempted to play again. There's also a few abandonware games I got into, mostly out of curiosity since I hvane't played them in years.

    What qualifies as "language"? Does a pet communicating a desire for food count?

    A language is any form of communication that is repeatable. That is, a word or a concept has a specific sound or symbol or gesture assigned to it.

     

     

    Or a combination of all the above. Body gesture can make a significant amount of what is to be communicated, as well as the "spoken." A lot of the time it's hard to tell how serious people are or to fully understand some things that are merely written, especially on the internet. Although credit can be given to literary geniuses that are that good at describing things on paper that the reader can start to imagine what the writer was intending, although that can vary slightly from reader to reader.

  5.  

    Do you THINK in language? Even when your imagining a sensory experience?

     

    Sometimes, language isn't even involved in my thoughts, but rather images. Occasionally it happens often.

     

    What qualifies as "language"? Does a pet communicating a desire for food count?

     

    If you think of language as just an organized bunch of vocalised sounds in order to communicate a certain message, and notice other animals having some grasp of that, I'd say that your pets desire for food could count as language.

  6. if it takes you more than a night to finish a box of wine you're doing it wrong

     

    I did that once when I was 17, although it had to be watered down with orange juice. Although I sorta agree, it wasn't then best thing ever.

  7. WinXP will no longer be supported with any sort of updates as of April 2014, I believe. Then comes the malware.

     

    It's definitely being scrapped in 2014. My uncle got to crash test Win 8,, and as far as I understood, it sounds more like an excuse to drop XP to free up resources or something.

  8. The only time both myself and TM were active at the same time was roughly about 10 years ago, when we were all silly, silly early adolescents. When I was temporarily semi-active again a few years ago TM was just banned. I never knew of ET until just recently.
