Why did this get upvoted?

This seems like the obvious way to handle yourself in this situation, nothing spectacular happened.

Negative marijuana health claims exposed as lies! Like we didn't know. by bjtweak957in YouShouldKnow

[–]BrainsAreCool 5 points6 points ago

Medical science has yet to get to a point where it can identify the underlining cause for any case of visual snow.

Here's the story: One day I began smoking a lot of grass, while high on its effects my vision started to become snowy. It still is.

Reddit, we have heard the best ways to die, now what do you think are the worst ways to die? by ltownsoccer13in AskReddit

[–]BrainsAreCool 0 points1 point ago

Tie someone up and inject methamphetamine into their bloodstream.

Once their brain can no longer produce dopamine, proceed with torture.

Flay the first few layers of skin off the chest, face, and genitals.

Subject the body to a plethora of extremely painful conditions (so as not to bore the subject): curiosity of acid, fire, and electric shock treatment.

Make sure the subject doesn't die and continue feeding the subject. The fact that the subjects brain can't produce dopamine, and thus can't feel happiness, will compound the pain the subject experiences.

(I got chills when writing that.)

It doesn't matter. I won't remember it anyway.

Hi my name is BrainsAreCool and after smoking copious amounts of marijuana two years ago I developed Visual Snow. Had it ever since.

Just thought you guys should know.

But hey, there's no negative health risks associated with doing psychedelics, so puff away!

Resisting the Virtual Life: The Culture and Politics of Information

6300IP - Who Do I Buy? by TheMarshmallowin leagueoflegends

[–]BrainsAreCool 2 points3 points ago* 

If you're just starting to play ranked I'd suggest picking up a few good junglers; Nocturne, Trundle, Gangplank, Lee Sin are all pretty good bread winners. You just don't want to play any bottom lane champions since the ranged AD carry and support are very team dependent roles and you want to carry your team.

You generally want to carry your whole team by being the best and most powerful jungler you can be. Try to always keep your wins higher than your losses and remember that it doesn't take much to make or break your rating. For example, say you landed in the 900 elo range because you had several bad teammates in a row and you're even on wins and losses. This isn't actually that grim of a situation, if you win about 25 more games than you lose and each game is worth roughly 13 elo then you'll gain about 325 elo making your rating 1225.

My point is it's actually deceptively easy to climb the ladder.

Just make sure you know when to queue dodge, for example- if someone says "fuck you" before the game starts or someone seems unsure how well they'll do with the role they're playing then dodge, you're going to lose that game.

Alternatively, here are some other great champions for mid and top lane:

Ahri, Gragus, Irelia, Karthus, Kassadin, Kennen, Morgana, Riven, Yorick, Zilean.

EDIT: The champions I have in bold are the ones that, in my humble opinion, are most likely to safely carry the shit out of your team.

childhood moments in homo-retrospect by racecarspacedinosaurin gaymers

[–]BrainsAreCool 4 points5 points ago* 

Uhh. Oh god, here goes. :S

  • I would walk around on my toes like I was wearing high heels/ like I was Mewtwo.

  • When my younger brother was checking out a dirty magazine with our friend I went inside to hide.

  • When I went to camp this black kid from another school would ask if I was straight. I didn't know what straight meant ( I thought he was calling me a line, lol ). Anyway, he concluded that I was "straight as a circle" and I was fine with that.

  • I thought doll houses were pretty fucking cool.

  • I totally tried out my moms jewelery.

  • I would take 20+ minute showers and create a two-piece toga thing out of two bath towels.

  • Back when I still thought I was bisexual and not gay I remember thinking Kes from Voyager was kinda cute. Later I realized, it's because she looks like a boy.

  • Back in, I think fourth or fifth grade, my friend, jokingly, described a scene in YuYu Hakusho where Yusuke and Kuwabara were sucking each other off. Uhhh, I really wanted to see that scene.

  • Was there a catchy pop song playing on the radio? I was singing along to it.

I miss the old Nidalee!

Champion Discussion of the Day: Nidalee (2nd February 2012) by Champion_Discussionin leagueoflegends

[–]BrainsAreCool -1 points0 points ago

Yeah. Same here.

I used to play Nidalee constantly but post nerf she just can't sustain herself anywhere close to as well. I keep trying to play her but without my big juicy heal she just doesn't feel the same. AD Nidalee can do well, but it just feels boring.

Nidalee deserves a serious remake. Honestly, you used to be able to use her heal for the attack speed buff in laneing phase, but now it's so costly you can't do that verry much anymore either. Which means the sustain neff also nerfed her poke.

What are your thoughts on Visual Snow?

Any idea of what causes it, what treatments there are for it, or other theories about it?

Just in case The Pirate Bay gets shut down by the United States government, what are some "must have" things I should get before it happens? by BrainsAreCoolin AskReddit

[–]BrainsAreCool[S] -1 points0 points ago* 

So the people who coded Photoshop put in no time or effort?

No. You know what I mean. It took zero energy to create the copies, therefore the copies are worthless.

information in and of itself can be disseminated freely. however, if you create something you have rights in it, thus you can control the dissemination of that thing.

What makes you think that you're so separate from the earth that you can claim to "own" parts of it? The concept of complete and total ownership of something else is not only a logical fallacy, but also a toxic worldview.

If you figure out a way to make a fire and the man sitting next to you observes your fire building technique, you have no right to demand that he pay you to use the knowledge he acquired through watching you. Such a request is completely childish and should be seen as such.


Believe it or not, there are possible solutions that haven't been explored so far as financial compensation for the creation of digital goods. For instance, the government could tax all non-digital goods, create a torrent website, and based on the number of downloads from the torrent website for specific digital products the government could award the content creators money from the pool of tax dollars. I could guarantee that most companies would find this to be an exceptionable compromise as it would be guaranteed money in their pockets- think about it, Spotify has about 10 million users and only costs $10 a month and yet, based on those numbers, major entertainment companies find that to be enough to hand over their licenses. Surely they'd hand over their licenses for guaranteed money rather than subscriber based money.

The simple fact of the matter is that options like the one I thought of have yet to be explored because we really are only interested in hampering the progress of new technology rather than adapting to it and it's all for the sake of, of all things, business.

[–]BrainsAreCool[S] 0 points1 point ago* 

I don't know about you, but I live in the real world, and in the real world a technology exists that renders libraries obsolete yet thanks to obsolete copyrights the citizens of this planet aren't allowed to disseminate that information freely, despite how easy it would be.

In a world where every. single. person. on the planet owns a Star Trek replicator things ascribing value to something as easily recreated as gold becomes asinine. But enough fantasy, we live in the real world and in the real world the "value" of digital goods is free.

The reason why the value of digital goods is free is because it takes zero energy to create them.

"You have no right to download Photoshop for free, just because technology enables it."

Yes. I have every right.

If I own a Printing press then I will use my Printing press.

If I owned a Star Trek replicator then I would use it to make food.

Fuck you for telling me what I can and cannot print, copy, or eat with my replicator.

Because the world shouldn't kneecap new technology for the sake of business, business should adapt to the latest technology.

Our society has it backwards.

Well, until legislation is passed allowing us to do whatever we please with our computers so far as copying digital information is concerned, I think it's a good plan.

I'll start hording data and wearing "pirate" jewelry so people at the local coffee shop can identify me as a distributor of digital content.

While I can see that this is probably the most likely go to response to this sort of question, I'd just like to prepare myself “just in case” the United States does do such a thing and we're all forced to exchange our “pirated” digital information at local coffee shops.

A good debate on the merits of Modern Art (or lack thereof) by FishToasterin DepthHub

[–]BrainsAreCool -9 points-8 points ago

This comment is devoid of original thought or substance, and I'd like to call it out for what it is: nothing more than a barb thrown at a culture that you either don't understand, don't like, or both.

A good debate on the merits of Modern Art (or lack thereof) by FishToasterin DepthHub

[–]BrainsAreCool -11 points-10 points ago

The fact that people like Andy Warhol and Thierry Guetta can be as "successful" as they are in the art world is proof enough that modern art has no merit.

Art is more about marketing than anything else.

Bullied gay teen’s suicide note: Insight on EricJames Borges’ tragic death at age 19 by RPetersenin lgbt

[–]BrainsAreCool 5 points6 points ago

Gosh, can't help but cringe whenever a gay teen thanks Lady Gaga in his suicide note...

I mean, how would you feel if you were a pop artist and someone said your music made a difference in their lives but they thanked you for it in, of all things, a suicide note? I'd much rather my fans didn't kill themselves and kept fighting the good fight. Just sayin..
