1.) Regarding “A Full-scale Robotic Uprising”:

“There’s almost a kind of hopeless optimism hidden here. Besides the whole uprising thing, it still implies that mankind was able to, with hardware and software, create a race of beings that are actually way better than humanity. Think about that the next time Windows Vista stops and asks you if it has permission to run a program you just freaking told it to run 4 seconds ago...”

1) Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do

“The aliens in Independence Day were not only thousands of years ahead of us technologically, but also were an entirely different species. Therefore, Goldblum’s feat[hacking into the ufo and giving it a virus] was the equivalent of colony of baboons in the Congo hacking into CitiBank using tree bark and clumps of their own feces.”

If I have to explain why it’s funny, you probably haven’t been friends with me for that long…

1) On Stripper Etiquette:

“Bring money. This may seem obvious, but there is nothing worse than going to a strip club and not having any cash.  While it may sound tempting, that crack in the dancer’s ass is not for swiping your credit card. Also, it’s more than likely than not that the dancers have a child or drug habit to support, so they need as much cash as they can suck out of you.”

2) On Chivalry:

“Whether you like it or not, gone are the days of roses, hastily scrawled love poems, and sweet serenades crooned lovingly outside a fair maiden’s window. Today, women may pretend like they want to be courted by a chivalrous gentleman, but in reality the chivalrous man has about as much chance of netting the girl of his dreams as Helen Keller has of winning a darts competition.”

” Women want a good-looking, arrogant asshole to treat them like crap…. It’s an unfortunate trend, to be sure, but an unavoidable one: the chivalrous romantic can write all the love songs and give all the gifts he wants, but outside circumstances aside (in this case, “outside circumstances” means “money”), the chivalrous man will end up with nothing more than his dick in his hands by the end of the day, while the cocky asshole who lifts weights and/or plays guitar chokes the girl of your dreams to death with his penis.”
