This is the internet. One of my goals is to start an urban legend involving tapeworms that never stop growing and mess with your hormones to make you always hungry, so that you starve to death while gorging yourself. People lie for fun.

Those already exist, though. Minus the hormones. Beef tapeworms (I think) can grow as long as they like.

Well, making it believable makes the information easier to spread. All it takes is one article in an important place, like Wikipedia, and the meme starts propagating itself.

This is fucking ridiculous. Nobody, NOBODY, needs that much Scarlatti.

Now, don't get me wrong I love Domenico. I even like Scott Ross. But there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.

But you can get it used for only $160!

I'll sell you a big box of used bandages for half that price.

Affy, that's not my objection. Nobody needs all 555 Scarlatti sonatas at any price.

They start running together after you listen to three anyway.

Is True Blood worth anything? My friends are into it, but I can't get past all the setpieces in it.

@Trombley: Of course. I was just poking fun at how people will buy something they don't need if they get a bunch off the original price, despite that they'll save even more if they don't buy it. It's surprisingly hard to get people to understand this.

In case anyone wants to know what they'll be getting just over half a grand of. It's good music, but that's just obsessive-compulsive.

I've started drawing a fairly lighthearted story, because my stuff lately has been sort of dark. It's about a thing named Abergutchie who was born to human parents and has no idea what he is, but he thinks he may be an Aztec god, and an imaginary friend named Jander who was torn away from "her girlie" by a psychiatrist and is trying to find her again. It's a Wunza Plot feel-good Dada Comic.

I'm puzzling over how to talk to someone who has stopped believing in herself—that is, her ability to pursue what she is most passionate about. Where to start??

Ask her why she stopped believing, then take her reasons and verbally rip them to pieces. Or not, I'm no psychologist.

Use what you already know about her, I think.

@Tzetze: In only five posts!

If she doesn't think she can get the grades she needs, I want her to know that she can use me for the believing part and go from there. I know how hard it must be—just take my word for it that she may be in some of the country's hardest college courses.

Make a work of art, a speech, a story, a playlist, something that shows her how awesome she is. Pump her up. That's what I do for my friends and what I wish people would do for me.

"Plus he's a hundred-year-old virgin, so he's obviously got some issues there."

While I like that quote about Robert Pattinson talking about how Edward has problems, I disagree on that point. What, no one can be asexual? This is a general question, not a justification or something.
