    Is marijuana bad for you?

    To anyone who is interested about learning more about the War on Drugs in America, I highly recommend reading "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. Or, if you prefer audio-visual media, maybe watch "The House I Live In" (it was on Netflix last time I checked.) My answer to your question...

    The inevitability of death (how do you deal with it?)

    To be honest, my mortality doesn't bother me. I just try to do what I can now to make the world a better place. My grandfather used to say "You do what you can, and then to hell with it." I try to take that attitude. Sure, you can never know when exactly you're going to die, but you can...

    Poll: Has a game made you cry?

    Persona 4 made me cry. The part with Nanako. You know... that part.

    Poll: The Elder Scrolls vs. Fallout

    I'm giving the edge to Fallout. I love playing Elder Scrolls games, but for whatever reason the characters don't have the emotional weight for me that characters in Fallout do.

    What games do women play?

    I'm a lady who likes to play a variety of games. The three games I have enjoyed playing most recently are: Bioshock Infinite Okami HD Sim City 4 The qualities I enjoy most in a game are an interesting story, a unique and interesting artistic style, and generally good writing. I'm...

    Poll: Musical instruments

    What about voice? That's my primary instrument, although I also play the piano. I had piano lessons growing up, so I guess I didn't consciously "choose" the piano. It just kind of happened. Singing's my favorite activity.

    The New Shiny Escapist

    I'm not really a fan, but I can live with all the changes except the article font. I find it much more difficult to read. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Poll: Would you have sex with your cousin?

    As long as you don't procreate, I don't see a problem.

    tell me some bad jokes

    A man and a boy are walking through the woods late at night. It's pitch black, and very creepy. The boy turns to the man and says "I'm scared!" The man says "You think you're scared? I have to walk back alone."

    Poll: Be honest, do you actually treat girl gamers the same online? (Minor update)

    I'm a girl, but I don't really play online with people I don't know, so I can't answer about playing with strangers, but I come across a stereotype when talking to "guy gamers" in real life. When I mention that I like playing video games, the guys I've talked to often assume that I mainly...

    Calling all Self Catered University students

    I'm a fan of home-made hot pocket type things. They're handy because they're a complete meal in one tasty container. They take a little time to prepare, but it's a good "batch food". I usually make 10 or so at a time. I use a soft pretzel recipe for the dough, roll it out until it's very thin...

    Trying to get into Doctor Who, failing...

    It's definitely not a show for everyone. I personally just find it...well, stupid. I've watched quite a bit of it because my friends are obsessed with it, but I've never enjoyed it. So you're not alone if you give Dr. Who an honest try and don't like it.

    Is it weird to get naked in front of animals?

    I really think that animals do not give a shit if you're naked or clothed. Perhaps that doesn't have any bearing on how weird you feel about it, but just keep that in mind.

    Are you prepared?

    After the hurricane in 2003, large parts of Richmond, VA were without power for several weeks. Lots of grilled and canned goods were consumed, and bathing was less pleasant. That really was pretty rough, but after that...a few days without power ain't no thing. I certainly get a lot more reading...

    Sell my soul for job security? (in physics)

    This is basically what my adviser said. It's really an issue of where my passions lie, not necessarily that I wouldn't be doing good research. But she did make industry look a little more appealing, I must admit.
