“It’s complicated” is a statement I hate more than any other one.
It either precedes or follows complete and utter bullshit excuses and, more often than not, lies.
Ideas can be complicated.
IKEA instructions can be complicated.
The truth is rarely complicated.
True.
I’ve found that when people say ‘It’s complicated’, they mean that telling the truth will...

Valve responds to the video that was leaked over the weekend:
As many of you know, the Meet the Spy video was leaked this weekend. Some of you on the forum have wondered if Valve leaked it on purpose. And until we find the clown who did leak it, the answer to that is yes.
Others of you have started a petition to stop Valve from firing anyone over the leak. Once again, this just...
When You Can’t See →
This answers my question from earlier; there is clearly a huge legal gap between civil unions and marriage in California. poeks:
Hospital visitation rights are just one of many, many legal benefits marriage provides. Here are some more via Marriage Equality:
Practical
Marriage offers 1,138 Federal benefits and responsibilities, not including hundreds more offered by every state.

(If you didn’t know: background)
I understood that the California Supreme Court’s decision today to not overturn Proposition 8 continues to mean that same-sex marriages are banned in California, but I hadn’t realised that there is a civil union that is the state-sanctioned way for same-sex couples to commit to each other. What is the legal difference between this and marriage?

The Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival
Hurrah! Thanks to my good friend Scott for bringing this to our attention, I will be attending this event with a number of friends. I’ve booked the Saturday out of my diary under “shanted” and the Sunday under “surly”. Frankly, I have my doubts about the Monday.

This crack me up so much. I stole them all from somethingawful.com
A horse walks into a bar, and the barman says “Why the long face?”. The horse replies:
“I’m deeply troubled by the anthropomorphic aspects of my existance and the extent to which I am now protected by law.”

No.
Well, it’s really nice.

Brilliant
The blogger complaining at me for using her image without consent (which I put my hands up to, I did use the image as the link to her site) cut&pasted the recipe from another site! I guess copyright works different on text and images… OH NO OF COURSE IT DOESN’T. Well, I guess it’s OK if you link to the source… OH WAIT I DID THAT. Ah well then.
Here’s the original...
Wow. I had my first ever “take that copyrighted image I own off your website” message (for the silly little bacon tumblr I hardly ever update). I feel like I’ve arrived.
Today I rode my bike for a few miles...
…which isn’t very far at all unless, like me, you have only ridden a half-dozen times in the last decade. Towards the end, riding up the hill to my house, I suddenly recalled that riding seems to stress muscles that I otherwise have no use for and are therefore even flabbier than the rest of me.
I fear I will be crippled, come the morn.
It was not a mock fight it was serious business....

I reserve my mocking, sir, for Tudors and turtle soup.
“This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people...”
– Australian Prime Minister John Curtin in 1945. (via indefensible)
Indefensible recently had an Internet mock-fight with a few other people on Tumblr about racism in his native Australia. In his thoughtful piece here, he makes the case that whilst Australia certainly has plenty to be ashamed of in...

I’m just barely avoiding wallowing-in-self-pity Friday, so I think “Fuck-Yeah Friday” might be beyond me.
Hey Nicky- You’re one of my tumblr crushes. I think you’re pretty kickass. <3
While it is beyond me how I could be your Tumblr crush, I’ll take it:
FUCK-YEAH FRIDAY!
Me too Nicky! You’re #4 on my list, ahead of some very impressive...
Dilemma
So, I’m doing an 8 week contract at the place I used to work at (I resigned twelve months ago). I received an email canvassing names for the Christmas party, which is a fairly ritzy free-food free-drink kind of thing. I suspect they don’t exactly monitor the replies very well, except for keeping track of numbers. So my dilemma is, what should I wear?

Sadly, it seems to have not been updated since April 2008; if only someone was still doing this sort of thing… Like at RimShots for example.
We're naming people we don't like now? Oh great....

I’ll get in before you: That indefensible guy in a vain, arrogant self-centred fuck-face. Big cock, though.
Has a big cock or is a big cock?
I like Twitter
In just the last sixty minutes, I made @RommieJ laugh, traded Spinal Tap quotes with @biojess (one, two, three), and recommended the best Indian restaurant in my home town to @jamiebennett. Two of those people are several timezones away! I wouldn’t know any of them at all without Twitter! The future rocks.
