    Synesthesia
     
    Does anyone have this or know people who do? Up until I was twelve, I thought I was the only one, but then I read about it in a book and I realized that other people think just like I do. I think I'm the only person in my family to have it, but my dad says he has it a little -- not to the extent that I do, though.
     
    In particular, I have Ordinal linguistic personification and Grapheme–color synesthesia.
     
    I recommend you read (or skim) the Wikipedia articles I've linked and then we can discuss this psychological oddity we share. If you'd like, tell me what colour or personality certain letters, numbers, days, names, months, or music notes have and then I can tell you how wrong you are.

    Hey

    By SPIRIT,

    I have slept for so long.


     

    My dreams have been dark ones.


     

    But now I am awakened.


     

    Now the scattered elements of my being are rejoined.


     

    Now I am whole.


     

    And the darkness cannot stand before me.

    Gaming PC Advice?

    By SPIRIT,

    Hey technically-inclined people of this strange corner of the internet,
     
    I'm in the market for a good gaming PC. Like, a really good one. Like one that will play Skyrim on Ultra with no loading time. But I have no idea where to start looking.
     
    Got any recommendations?
     
    Also, I'm incredibly lazy, so building it myself will never happen.

    If Lego put me in charge of doing a solid Bionicle Gen 3 reboot, I'd worldbuild the new island around the theme of renewable energy. It'd be easy to divide by element, and who wouldn't want a generation of youth imagining a cleaner planet?
     
    The setup would be that you've got these robots living on a tropical island with these jury-rigged energy capturing devices that help power their meager villages. Kind of like a rural Star Wars planet.
     
    Ta-Koro: Geo thermal. Village built by a volcano. No brainer.
     
    Ko-Koro: Hydro electric. There isn't a lot you can do with ice, but you can do a lot with mountains. Waterfalls, dams, that sort of thing. That being said, you'd have to make the Ko-Matoran more of a mountain people than an ice people.
     
    Ga-Koro: Wave power. This is totally a thing (look it up). You've got these generators on the ocean that turn the movement of waves into power. Plus Ko-Koro doesn't have anything else that makes sense, so had to give them hydro.
     
    Onu-Koro: Nuclear power (or at least something similar). An almost endless power source that you can just dig up from the ground. Remind anyone of lightstones?
     
    Le-Koro: Solar power. Let's double down on the jungle theme here and back off on the air theme. Jungle is a fine element. Plants grow using solar power. Plus Ta-Koro already had geothermal so someone needed to take solar.
     
    Po-Koro: Wind power. Stone was a dumb element anyway. Make Le-Koro be about plants and let Po-Koro be a big windy field with windmills all over the place.
     
     
     
    Regardless of what Lego does end up doing, it would be nice if we got a bit more worldbuilding for Gen 3 than we did for Gen 2.
     
    How would you worldbuild for Gen 3?

    Shooting Games

    By SPIRIT,

    Why do shooting games always need to be so graphic? Why can't they make a shooting game where your enemies don't explode into a massive sea of blood, body parts flying haphazardly as they cry in sheer anguish for death's sweet embrace?
     
    I like killing imaginary video game characters as much as the next guy, but why do games have to try to inflict war veteran post-traumatic stress disorder upon me? I'm into things being realistic and all, but what happened to playing games for fun?
  7. SPIRIT
    Now before I begin, I should state that I am not trained as a psychologist. However I have taken like 3.5 courses in psychology, and I am an incredibly judgmental person, so I think that's just as good.
     
    The science behind this super accurate and totally legitimate personality test is that I judge people based on their favourite colour. So think of what your favourite colour is and look at the list below to see what your results are!
     

    -----




    Results


    Blue: You weak and watery milquetoast of a sheep! Your favourite colour is blue? Like the most popular favourite colour in the world? Yawn! Boring! How's that 9-5 accounting job going for you? Did you just assume that yawning is a sign of people listening to you? Because it isn't, you're just that boring. The human eye can detect 10 million different colours and you went and chose the most boring one.
     
    Red: Hey buddy! Now we're talking! This is the colour of champions! Of movers and shakers. Red is a symbol of power! Red gets things done! Gryffindor? They were red. Luke Skywalker? Red Five. James from Thomas the Tank Engine? Son, you'd better believe he was red too. They even did a study that showed that red tends to win more often than blue. It's just science!
     
    Orange: Aw, come on. Don't be like that. You're just a red-liker who can't quite handle the intensity and wonder that is red. I get it. It's a lot to live up to. Orange is a pretty good second. Tahu's orange arms and legs complimented his red everything else rather nicely. You need to believe in yourself, son. You've got that passion within, you just need to set it free.
     
    Yellow: Ugh, get out of here with that. Yellow? I bet you're a morning person too. Oh and on behalf of everyone you interact with on a daily basis, you talk way too loud. Most of us don't want to handle you in the morning, let alone any other time of the day with your constant sunshine demeanour. Luckily for you, the laws of this land prohibit murdering people whose favourite colour is yellow... I think. Let me look this one up and get back to you.
     
    Green: Well, at least you didn't say blue. I'll give you that. Green isn't that much better, though. Earth is a blue and green planet. You know what we have way too much of? Blue and green! Let me guess. You're probably at the bottom tier of your class, the lower end of the bell curve. You're the sort of person who picks Bulbasaur when Charmander and Squirtle are standing right in front of me. Enjoy being a disappointment to the species.
     
    Azure: Shut up, this is still blue. I don't care that Italian considers it a different colour. It's still blue. What's worse, it's even a worse version of blue. It's such a bad version of blue that the default colour palate on this board doesn't list it. Why don't you take a good hard look at your life and try to be a better person?
     
    Pink: This is a bit more complicated. If you're a girl, woopdeedoo. Way to fight all stereotypes and millennia of oppression. Yes, every marketing department your entire life has told you this is what you want, but maybe try growing a backbone for a change! You can't all like pink. Where's your sense of individuality and desire to break from from the shackles of society? And if you're a guy, come on. This is a very serious personality test. Just say red or lightish red. You aren't fooling anyone.
     
    Purple: Once again, this one is twofold. If you're a girl, let's get real. You just picked this one because pink was too girly. Well tough tamales, this one is almost just as bad. This is like trying to put out a fire with a squirtgun, not that you'd know anything about that, trapped in your minimum wage pink-collar job. And if you're a guy... okay, look. Purple does have red in it, but you're not fooling anyone. You're just trying to be subversive. "Oh look at me, I like purple. I'm so random and fun!" Well, you're neither. Purple was only cool if you were the emperor of Rome and those leaves in your hair definitely aren't laurels, they're just a product of you only bathing once a month.
     
    Black: Ooooh, I'm sooooo scared. You must be a deep and dreary old soul. "Oh look at me, I like black. I'm only slightly more annoying than the people that point out that black isn't a real colour." Maybe you are or were a goth or maybe you're a giant hipster, but I won't abide this at all. Your favourite colour is black? A.k.a. the absence of light. Shut up, no it isn't. Why don't you do some soul searching and come up with a favourite colour that doesn't make you look like a pretentious doofus.
     
    Grey: What? Was black too hardcore for you? You're like a black-liker and an azure-liker had a baby and then only read it the financial section of the New York times growing up.
     
    Brown: No, your favourite colour isn't brown. I don't care what you say or how many times you invoke the mighty name of Pohatu, your favourite colour isn't brown. Brown is nasty colour you get when you mix all the paints together. Maybe you misread your heart and didn't realize that Wikipedia defines brown as a shade of orange. In which case, scroll up because there's hope for you yet. Brown... Honestly, the only other explanation is that you were the kid who ate dirt, which is probably all you'll be able to afford once your boss finds out how much of a waste of space you are.
     
    White: Are you kidding me? White? No, get out. I'm not even going to discuss this one. You are literally the worst person to ever walk this planet. I think Genghis Khan mentioned that his favourite colour was white after he finished beheading his 10 millionth peasant. So why don't you pack up all your possessions and move to Mongolia? At least then we won't have to deal with you over here.
     
    Anything Else: Look, if your favourite colour isn't on this list and you don't work in a paint store, you don't actually have any friends. You've got a lot of people who will spend time in close proximity to you out of pity or who are perhaps planning your murder because you're such an obnoxious person. In fact, it might be a good idea right now to print out your Facebook friend list and send that to the police with a brief explanation. That isn't to say that the police won't murder you too, but at least the rest of us won't have to put up with you any more. Like especially if your favourite colour is a town in Kanto, that's a dead giveaway that it's only a matter of time until everyone standing around your open casket remarking, "you know, I'm okay with this."

    So yeah. Post your results in the comments! This may surprise some of you, but my favourite colour was red! I know, crazy, right? This test is soooooo accurate!

    Tales from Speech Therapy

    By SPIRIT,

    So this one kid I'm working with is 9.  He has a lot of difficulty saying vocalic /r/ (e.g. car, stir, bear, deer, etc.), but we've made some big strides in the last few months.  He's also a major bookworm.  Magic Treehouse, Minecraft novelizations... if you think a nine year old would read it, he's read it.  Often we'll read passages from his favourite books and practice some good vocalic /r/ sounds.  Today, to my surprise, he's waiting for me on the stairs clutching a familiar red book...
     
     
    Yes, friends, it was none other than BIONICLE Adventures #10: Time Trap
     
     
    Kid: Yeah, I really like this book.  You're probably going to think some of the characters have really weird names.
    Me: 4_parallel_universes_ahead_of_you.png
     
    So the legend of Bionicle isn't quite dead yet, folks.

    Just wanted to do a mini survey to figure out if raising one eyebrow is really as difficult as people say it is. Can you do it? Can you move both your eyebrows independently of one another? I've been able to for as long as I can remember and it absolutely amazes some people (granted, there are some people out there who don't know how to wink and I just feel sorry for them).
     
    So yeah, in a similar vein, what other "party tricks" can you do? Vulcan salute? Ear wiggling? Nostril flaring? Asynchronous eye movement? Tongue curling (I also find it astounding that not everyone can do this either)? Elbow licking?
     
    I only ask because I can do them all.

    Dear J. R. R. Tolkien

    By SPIRIT,

    Dear J.R.R. Tolkien,
     
    Stop giving your characters so many names. It's confusing, annoying, pointless, and it makes me not want to read your books. If his name is Aragorn, just call him Aragorn; none of this Son of Arathorn, Dúnadan, Longshanks, Strider, Wingfoot, Elessar Telcontar, Envinyatar, Estel, or Throngil nonsense. You pick a name and you stick with it. He maybe gets one or two other names, but this is ridiculous.
     
    And another thing. What's with giving the two main villains essentially the same name? You don't see how this might be extremely confusing? I mean, come on, you made up over twenty languages and the best you can come up with is Sauron and Saruman? Or did you use up all the good ones by giving Aragorn TWELVE DIFFERENT NAMES?
     
    Don't even get me started on the multiple names the other characters get.
     
    Make sure to avoid this next time you reinvent an entire genre of literature.
     
    Ever yours,
     
    SPIRIT
     
    P.S. Merry is a girl's name.
     

    -------- Dear Peter Jackson,
     
    Great job on avoiding so many of Tolkien's errors. Send my regards to composer Howard Shore who is responsible for 90% of the films' success.
     
    Ever yours,
     
    SPIRIT
     

    -------- Dear J.K. Rowling,
     
    You are a genius.
     
    Ever yours,

    I hope that got your attention.
     
    I saw the movie about a month ago and I have a fairly neutral opinion of it. Sure there was a lot of impressive CGI and stuff, but for some reason I'm not seeing how it became the number one selling movie of all time or why I keep hearing about people desperately wishing to go to Pandora.
     
    I can pretty much trace this back to the sense of nausea the 3D effects of the movie induced in me, so as impartially as you can, I'd appreciate hearing what exactly it is about the movie that has everyone hooked.

    SPIRIT: Excuse me, sir. How much did you pay for that fedora?
     
    Person: Why, I paid twenty dollars for it. Why do you ask?
     
    SPIRIT: *takes fedora and throws it in the nearest waste receptacle* Here's twenty bucks. Buy yourself LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.
     
     
    I think for the most part we've managed to quell the fedora outbreak, but there are still a few stragglers out there who need to be dealt with before we're safe altogether.
     
    While I'm raising funds for this project, I'm also taking ideas on how to tackle the Man-Bun and Coif epidemics. Suggestions are appreciated.

    Hello friends.
     
    If you're anything like me, you use Facebook for three things:
     
    1) To stalk people (let's be real, that's why the website exists)
    2) To stay in the loop
    3) To message people
     
    Notice how "read stupid articles and dank memes" was not on that list?
     
     
    For quite some time now, I've been getting pretty sick of seeing dumb posts on Facebook. "So and So shared this dumb article on veganism", "What's her Face was tagged by a friend in this poorly made Vine", "Oh look, another post shared from a Facebook page for octogenarians". I could go on.
     
    This is ridiculous. I don't want to see any of this junk. But I also don't want to fall out of the loop on important issues.
     
    So what do I do?
     
    At the top right of every Facebook post, there is a drop down menu. If you click it, you can see the option to Hide All From X. This will still keep your friend's vacation pics, status updates, and relationship announcements, but hide any and all future garbage from that source that they might decide to share with you. I've been doing this for about a week now and my Facebook feed is much less terrible to go through.
     
     
     
     
    But wait, you said it doesn't hide status updates! What do I do if my friend keeps posting racist, sexist, homophobic, climate change denying posts?
     
    If that's the case, I think you just have a terrible friend. This is much harder to fix in a democracy with free speech. Vote for SPIRIT as dictator for life.

    Calendar

    By SPIRIT,

    Pope Gregory XIII was a doofus as was Julius Caesar. Did they not foresee the importance of a logical calendar in a technological society? Here are some changes I would make if given supreme dictatorial power over the Free World.
     
    1) New calendar starts the day after the winter solstice (i.e. the winter solstice is the last day of the year). The days start off short, get long, and once they're short again we start a new year. I could compromise by going with the summer solstice or one of the equinoxes, but the current system of "ehhh, I guess we'll start the new year like a week and a half after the solstice" is stupid and dumb and I hate it.
     
    2) 12 months, 30 days each. Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 all get an extra day. That adds up to 365.
     
    3) No leap years. The final day of the year will be 0.2422 days longer to help the rotation and the revolution counts catch up to each other.
     
    4) Better month names. September, October, November, and December are months 9, 10, 11, and 12 just so that we could fit in two holidays named after emperors who have been dead for like 2000 years? That's insane. Nope, scrap the whole system. Pick some new naming scheme. Name them after stars, rocks, trees, historical figures, elements, or dinosaurs. The current system has no cohesion or logic.
     
    5) Now that there's no shift in which day falls on which date, all holidays are static and better spaced out. Every month gets a holiday and they all happen either on a Monday or a Friday. None of this "oh, sometimes it lands on a Wednesday". That's not a lottery I'm interested in gambling at. Now I realize many religious and cultural celebrations may follow a lunar calendar or that certain groups may be attached to celebrations that are already tied to specific days. Well tough tamales! You should've thought of that before electing me supreme leader of the world.
     
     
    I think that's a pretty good start, and it's pretty easy to fit a 5 step plan into my manifesto. I could go into detail on my plans for a 3 day weekend, second Christmas, or regulations about which holidays warrant fireworks and which ones do not, but I think I can save that for the supreme world leader election circuit.
  17. SPIRIT
    Hey guys, important PSA.
     
    The Internet is a pretty awful place. Tons of people yelling into the void, and I can't stop reading it all for some reason. So I'm asking all citizens of the Internet to do their part in making it a better place. It's not an easy task, but I think if we all take small steps, we can see some real change.
     
    Remember how as a society we decided not to do chain email forwarding? I mean, that did just morph into tagging people in the comments sections of random Facebook memes, but we managed to end the practice.
     
    What I'm asking everyone to do today is to stop perpetuating made up holidays.
     
    Apparently it's National Best Friends Day?
     
    That's not a thing. That's definitely not a thing. No one gets time off, they don't make greeting cards for it, it isn't to commemorate the martyrdom of St. Bestius Friendius. It's not a thing. Stop posting about it.
     
    Here's SPIRIT's patented guide to figuring out whether a holiday is real:
     
    National + X + Day = Not a holiday
     
    X may represent any term, and if it's surrounded by the words "national" and "day", it's not a holiday.
     
     
    Let us all band together as a society this day and vow never to acknowledge the existence of these made up holidays. Let us forever remember today as National Don't Share Made Up Holidays Day. Let us --
     
     
    Aw dangit...

    Some of you manly men might wonder why My Little Pony has exploded onto the male-dominated Internet. Allow me to explain in relatable terms:
     
    Remember that episode of Arthur where everyone starts watching the Love Ducks? This is that.
     
    On that note:
     

     
    That is all.
  19. SPIRIT
    Yeah, they were up for a few minutes today, but "the Man" wanted them taken down. Luckily, SPIRIT snagged them before they vanished. The first word is their English name and the second word is their Pokedex species in Italian... for reasons I won't go into. Enjoy.

    YouTube Rant

    By SPIRIT,

    So I’m a productive adult. I’ve got a job and friends and things are pretty good when you average everything out. I’m entitled to a little mindless television every now and then. But, as a major cheapskate millennial and someone who hates media commitments because of how seriously he takes them, I don’t have TV so I just bum around watching cruddy YouTube videos in my recommended videos feed to opiate my brain from a long day of thinking and worry.
     
    And here’s what grinds my gears, what gets my goat, what shivers my timbers, what rustles my jimmies.
     
    When YouTubers state that their opinions are opinions.
     
    COOL! THANKS! NO FREAKING DUH!
     
    Listen here, you human trash bags, I KNOW THAT THIS LIST OF TOP TEN TIMES MICHAEL SCOTT DID SOMETHING FUNNY IS YOUR OPINION! HOW ON THIS GOOD GREEN EARTH COULD YOU OBJECTIVELY ASSESS SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
     
    You spineless, mewling milksops!
     
    You can’t stand by an opinion? You’ve got to water it down with “oh just FYI this is my opinion don’t get mad pls”. WELL TOUGH TAMALES, AMIGO! THIS IS THE INTERNET! PEOPLE GET MAD! PEOPLE DOWNVOTE THINGS THEY DON’T LIKE!
     
    I don’t care how mundane your video or your opinion is. Just present it as fact! Stick to your guns! That’s the difference between strength and weakness, and people are sure as heck more interested in that than right or wrong. Even if I disagree with what you say, I can at least respect you standing up for what you believe in.
     
    Because like I was saying before, the internet hive mind gets mad. Whoop dee doo! Just ignore them!
     
    As the saying goes “haters gonna hate”, or the more updated version “dab on the haters”.
     
    You can’t please everyone, but at least please yourself. There are worse fates than being hated on the internet. “Oh I can’t say this, the Internet will get mad!”
     
    GOOD!
     
    An angry view and a happy view still bring in the same ad revenue!
     
     
     
     
    Okay, that’s all I got.
     
     
    But can we also stop with the weird standard intros to things, catchphrases, and stupid names for YouTuber fanbases? Like I get that traditions are fun, people like repetition, and inventing words is fun, but just stooooooop! For goodness sake, this part of YouTube culture is much worse than the whole inability to support an opinion.
     
    It’s cool that you’re famous for talking to your webcam everyday, but try to get a little perspective on the content of your videos.
     
     
    Okay, that’s it for me.
     
    Be sure to rate, comment, and subscribe. Don’t forget to SMASH that bell! And let me tell you about my friends at some stupid website that sells junk no one wants.
     
    LAME NONSENSICAL SIGN OFF! BYEEEEEE!
  21. SPIRIT
    If I die, please don't let anyone make a cheesy Facebook status about me -- especially years after the fact. I mean, I'll accept an online death announcement, but nothing more.
     
    Maybe a statue in a park, but that's it!
     
    I just can't stand the thought of someone else getting fake internet points from my death. It's outrageous, disrespectful, and it cheapens my life to appear associated with the kind of person who does that. No one wants to read about how so-and-so was your best friend, and you miss them now. That's depressing and sad. Go find a new best friend and make better Facebook posts!
     
     
     
    Also I think I might like to get that thing where they turn your corpse into a tree. Look it up; someone Shared it to me on Facebook.

    Like a Boss

    By SPIRIT,

    Well, I was under the impression that BZP was in a coma but apparently it's not.  Who knew?
    So life's been really interesting recently.  I quit my job to start my own business and now ain't nobody tellin me to do nothing.
    It is both very stressful and very exciting.  Let's have a race to see which happens first: my business becoming solvent or BZP coming back to life.

    Guys
     
    I think I found some LEAKED SCREENSHOTS from an upcoming video game based on Bionicle 2015!
     
    Here's Skull Basher and here's Skull Warrior. I'll post more if I find any. Should I report this to the BZP news?
     
     
    My thoughts:
     
    It's cool and all that Lego is making video games again, but I really don't see this one being that successful. Certainly not the sort of thing I would spend 424 hours playing.
