Re: What the Fark 2: That Was... Interesting.

Does anybody personally know anybody into this stuff? (Or, I dunno, is somebody themselves personally into it and would like to explain it sympathetically?)

At first glance it looks like a Church of the SubGenius-like parody of Thiel, Tektology, the psychology of lonely adolescent nerds, and the inevitable tendency of extreme conservatism to slide towards corporate fascism, but then again, those quotes are real. Somebody please tell me Sam Frank just wrote a brilliant satire and the poster fell for it hook, line and sinker, or that he greatly misunderstood what is really just a current spin of the "self improvement by intellectual feedback mechanisms" idea.

I probably would have a tough time tearing up this check.

You gotta love a check where it takes you two lines to write out the amount. :D

Selfies are so yesterday!

GPS-guided drones — controlled by your smartphone — will soon be the rage.

Unveiled Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show, one smart drone, called the Hexo+, can follow you around all day using the GPS in your phone, filming your every move from the air.

I can just imagine in certain neighborhoods how many mid-air collisions there will be. Signs in certain Starbucks: "Please ground your drone before entry." :rolleyes:

Too bad the Wacky Bloomberg thread is gone, although this is actually DeBlasio...

Know those styrofoam containers you get your take-out food in? NYC's banning those.

They're banned in a lot of places. Portland banned them in 1989. It's hardly wacky.

I wouldn't hold the example of policies in Portland as being evidence of normalcy. :p

Fair 'nuff.

I'd never seen Portlandia until my wife made watch a few episodes of the new season last weekend. It is precisely how I remember the city, except it hardly ever rains in the show (which is its own cruel in-joke).

Glitter really is the herpes of the craft world.

I worked at a craft store my senior year of high school and firs three years of college. The numbers of Glitter Glue bottles that we sold there were staggering. These women would rave about it because they wouldn't have to deal with lose glitter getting all over their houses. I had no idea it was such an issue, I just got a job there so I could slack off with my buddies.
