    Wow...someone at the Onion just couldn't take the bullshit anymore. That's not so much funny as it is striking and poignant. As for me, I like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler so I'll catch their highlights on hulu or something.

Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    Some of the Onion's material is more sardonic than funny, but it makes you think. Our priorities in the Western world are vastly different than those in the rest of the world.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Lots of viewers are upset because the girls in the thumbnail never appear in the video:

    Yeah cool site. Somehow without meaning to, I drew an xray image of a penis in a vagina. Weird.

    Today only, I presume. Either way, absolutely made my day. Make sure to hover over each of the different kinds of links.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was shared a couple of years ago, because I remember seeing it as well. It's a good scare for people that haven't read it though.

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.

    He Unplugged From The Internet For A Year. This Is What He Learned.
    ....(aka this thread's most on-topic post. Ever.)

    The Internet makes us stupid. The Internet makes us lonely. The Internet makes us less productive. The Internet makes us unhappy. Surely you’ve heard any one of these claims?

    Last year, tech writer Paul Miller felt burned-out on being constantly connected, on being overloaded with information. Maybe there was something else out there? Something people have lost because they’re always on the Internet? But instead of unplugging for a while to recalibrate, he made a bold decision: he would unplug for a whole year. See what happens. The hope was that he’d find himself, that he’d become a ‘better’ Paul Miller. If nothing else, he’d be able to see what the Internet had ‘done’ to him.

    Now he’s back, and he wrote an article on The Verge about the experience....

    Interesting. I lost the internet for about 3 months (at home) and I derived nothing but positive effects from it. (Which last even now).

    The first couple days were kind of terrifying, though. "HOLY SHIT. DAYS ARE -THIS LONG-???????????????/"

    Hehehe, agreed.

    He had to take a year off to learn that the internet was bad for him is he an idiot. My productivity quadruples if I take 2 days off.

    Conversely, I think this guy's experience was an obvious one. Whenever I see someone saying, "I'm quitting facebook for a month" or "I'm uninstalling this game because I play too much", I always shake my head. I know from personal experience, the problem is rarely with the thing that distracts you, but rather, the innate need to be distracted.

    Also, I'm pretty sure Abdula didn't even read the article.
