Which series have you finished so far? I've watched the original World History and Economics, not much else. I disliked that the original World History didn't get into the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, whose fallout has caused huge problems in the Middle East. I'm sure it's covered better in...

Economics is really fascinating to learn about. I recommend Crash Course on Youtube, as they're less biased than, say, a Marxist or Conservative economist.

And that's why I'm a ROBOT COMMUNIST. According to Karl Marx, the 'value' of an item (not the price) is based on how much human labour goes into making it. If no human labour goes into making it, then the item is valueless. An example of a valueless resource would be the sun, or the wind...

I disagree, but I have an awesome reason as to why. It's called... ROBOT COMMUNISM And I don't mean a Stalin-bot takeover of government - I mean the robotic takeover of labour! All kinds of production and transportation be supercharged with machines! Trains and trucks will drive themselves...

I play acoustic guitar mostly. I've been in love with guitars since I first met one. I don't really enjoy messing around with electric guitars though, since it's too much work to get a sound that doesn't give me a headache. As for genre it's mostly Classical, Blues and Neil Young-ish stuff...

dawww, thanks crucialstar. Also, suck at fabric? If I knew better I'd say you're fishing for compliments - anyone with eyes can see you know how to draw a dress. I feel the same though, about my music. It's never good enough. I think that's the true mark of a good artist - you always want to...

Listening to Ash was really interesting. It reminded me of a sermon from a Christian preacher, except that instead of 'coming out of the closet' it was 'confessing.' It's neat how you can hear the same sort of thing in two completely different contexts. It's also brutal irony that Linwe...

You guys don't want to know what I'm reading right now. I stumbled upon a Twitch stream full of communists. Literally communists. They were hilarious, so I came back yesterday night and got some reading material. Apparently I've been a Socialist all my life. Anyone else find it odd Americans...

Oh, sorry, I told you I had nothing to post, so I was waiting on you. I don't want to have to come up with material for two back to back posts when nothing is really happening and you didn't ask Lenna a question.

Amazon is a good place. I remember an article about the CEO asking employees to e-mail him directly if they're facing workplace abuse. Also, Amazon bought Twitch and changed nothing about it, so that's pretty cool in my book.

I'll post at the start of the next day then. Also, thanks for accepting Nick. I was worried that I'd have to try and justify a clairvoyant power that defines my character's personality, he doesn't even want, and is almost entirely useless. I'm glad I get to make everyone feel bad for being...

I'll let you decide that. Is Laikas the kind of person that'd go first?

I'll throw the bone back to you with what you want happening. If nothing crazy happens, Ben will play his encore and leave, maybe catch Starlyn finishing her surgery. I doubt Mace would send goons right away, and honestly, I want Christian as far away from them as he can get, I like him a bit...

When Ben sung the closing song for the night, the prophetic song of a young man's - his own - early death, he heard the crowd sing along. He heard them in ways he'd never noticed before; each individual's separate voice - high or low, drunk or sober, hoarse or clear, voices of people who sang...

I don't have anything much to say, so I'll let Bacon post again when he's ready to do the whole fancy shmancy un-masking thing, and follow-up that.

Yeah, sorry if I seemed a little harsh or wrote too much, I wanted to try and help a bit, though clearly you didn't need it! Ben doesn't really have a clue what's going on with Dumasi or Starlynn, so I think I'll just have him keep jamming. Will security come and stop the show? Or can he just...

There's tons of math involved in law enforcement. http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/reports/2005/R1852.pdf The police use mathematics to help them plan where to send patrols out to fight crime "efficiently". While this sounds great in theory, when put into practice it means more cops...

Let the whole world burn. What do you think it'd take for Lavitz to turn over a new leaf? Is he stubborn until death? Because a temporary death can be arranged as well, oh yes...

Lenna will try to make Laikas happy, she's such a sweet girl after all. I'm sure Laikas will find her company quite comfortable.

I agree slightly with the unrealistic part, but I'll try to explain why. For one, in middle and high schools, wealth will net you friendships regardless of character. Perhaps I'm grossly wrong in my judgement, but in general, teens - especially in middle school - view things like new clothes and...
