cyclops79 on Does anyone else feel that 3D is just an annoying gimmick?

2010-05-03T18:47:33.738354-07:00-0700

I know. :( The thing is: I really am blind in one eye since I was 16, so while I enjoy that I managed to [see the sailbot](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/bzksq/reddit_what_is_something_you_cant_do_that_most/c0pdob9) and use the red-blue 3D glasses in the theater for Freddy's Dead, I never thought I was missing much. Until IMAX, that is. Now I just try not to think about it. So I don't give a flying fuck if it is a gimmick or not. If you think it is, don't watch it. Like me!

cyclops79 on Reddit, what is something you can't do that most people can?

2010-05-03T18:46:50.278843-07:00-0700

I could when I was a kid. Took me a lot of time, bet eventually I saw the sailboat and everything else. But the thing I can't do that most people can is seeing in 3D. [At all](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/bzfnz/does_anyone_else_feel_that_3d_is_just_an_annoying/c0pdod8).

I know... and it's not that I don't like it, I just don't have anything in my collection, except for a few Bad Brains songs. Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll check those out! :)

cyclops79 on [3] hey fellow ents, if you're feeling particularly generous today, I'm trying to raise some awareness & capital for my next recording project. [free music :)]

2010-05-02T16:42:08.544527-07:00-0700

Comment reminding myself to check this later, since my connection is slow as hell today. Also, upvote for awareness. Because I'm totally out of capital. :(

Celebrating a really late 4/20, thanks to a major police bust in my area which caused a state-wide supply issue, I decided to make myself a themed playlist.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots
Bloodhound Gang - Along Comes Mary
Clutch - Spacegrass
Cypress Hill - Light Another
Cypress Hill - Stoned Is the Way of the Walk
Cypress Hill - Something for the Blunted
Cypress Hill & Sonic Youth - I Love You Mary Jane
Down - Hail the Leaf
GWAR - Nitro-Burnin' Funny Bong
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
Led Zeppelin - The Crunge
Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop
Led Zeppelin - Nobody's Fault but Mine
Less Than Jake - Dopeman
Lily Allen - Alfie
Pink Floyd - Time
Primus - DMV
Rasputina - Sister Sleep
Reverend Horton Heat - Marijuana
Sublime - Smoke Two Joints
Sublime - Let's Go Get Stoned
Sublime - Burritos
System of a Down - Peephole
The Beatles - Got to Get You Into My Life
The Donnas - Everybody's Smoking Cheeba
The Offspring - Mota
Ween - Mutilated Lips
Weezer - Hash Pipe

Some of these songs I found googling around, and to be honest haven't really checked all the lyrics (you mean I've been listening to DMV forever and never knew it was about weed? That's the first one I'm checking the lyrics), so any input regarding that is welcome.

I'm not going for a every-song-that-mentions-weed playlist, but using it as a central theme is a big plus. I'm also restricting it to my own tastes, hence the lack of a lot of gangsta-rap. I do like Cypress Hill and consider myself open minded when it comes to music, so you can suggest anything really.

On a side note: is anyone else here really into the /r/mixcd idea, but worried that you'll never meet the deadline?

Dude... I'm Brazilian and white, and so is half the population, if you don't get so attached to details in genetic inheritance, which we hardly do anyway. I'm not going as far as saying that there's not any kind of racism here, but racial tension situations are *extremely* rare, with the obvious exception of some places that are predominantly inhabited by some specific race/ethnic group/etc, which I believe happens in most places in the world.

cyclops79 on The Church of Satan's non-fiction reading list? Oh boy, this should be pretty whack. Uh-huh, okay...hmmm. This has actually got some pretty good books on it...

2010-04-23T16:44:00.029589-07:00-0700

Are you a member? I found out about CoS when I was a teenager and was going through a heavy Marilyn Manson phase (around when Antichrist Superstar came out), and even though I was never the wearing-only-black-painting-his-face type of kid, the whole idea of respecting others while also demanding the same respect back always made a lot more sense to me than the prejudice and "turn the other cheek" that comes with Catholicism (which is pretty fucking strong where I live). Always thought it was a shame that people don't take it more seriously and focus only in the theatrics and the "Satan" image. I never felt comfortable with the idea of following a single set of beliefs, so I never considered being a "member" of any religion - I have an open mind about them and apply whatever I think it's good to my life - but the only two religions I ever considered worth trying were Buddhism and LaVey Satanism. In any case, the rituals always make me give up. Why don't you do an [AMA](http://www.reddit.com/r/iAmA/) about it? I know you would get a lot of silly jokes on the subject, but I've always wanted to know more about the religion itself (if you guys even call it a religion).

cyclops79 on TIL- that if you remove reddit.com from your frontpage it filters out a whole lot of B.S.

2010-04-23T16:29:36.220023-07:00-0700

I'm subscribed to a lot of subreddits so my frontpage is kind of well-balanced... there's a little bit from every subreddit, and only a couple of reddit.com threads... But lately it seems that only "funny" and useless submissions get upvoted everywhere, even on small ones...

I'm Brazilian and I will never say "focus" again.

Were there any close friends of Eric and Dylan that still attended the school after the whole incident? If so, was there any animosity towards them, or to anyone that would be considered *like* them, maybe in the sense of "watch out, that geek looks like he's about to lose it"?

cyclops79 on Happy 4/20!

2010-04-19T21:09:07.316695-07:00-0700

Thanks! :) Enjoy it and have a toke for all the unlucky ents on what should be a happy day for everybody...

cyclops79 on Happy 4/20!

2010-04-19T20:23:29.026402-07:00-0700

My plan is to, hopefully, buy some weed and put an end to my month-long break, and celebrate 4/20 properly. It's already the 20th where I live, and I was supposed to have some by now, but no luck so far. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. Wish me luck, ents.

cyclops79 on To Women: What feature on a man is most attractive?

No lasers yet. I'm working on that.

cyclops79 on How many of you folk have ADHD, and how do you deal with it personally?

2010-04-16T15:33:36.487110-07:00-0700

I've been diagnosed last year and have been on ritalin since, and what you just described is something that I never figured out how to deal with: the laser-like focus that will randomly land anywhere, from work and study to games and cleaning my inbox. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely try those exercises. Any more tips on how to deal with this?

cyclops79 on Reddit, how do you keep your mind from going to "the bad place"?

2010-04-16T15:28:02.494048-07:00-0700

This. Don't run away from your "bad place", face it and learn from it.

cyclops79 on What's your favorite Beatles' song reddit?

2010-04-15T23:13:14.892701-07:00-0700

"I'm Only Sleeping" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" *I'm Only Sleeping* is a great Beatles song, and I just love the lyrics - not only because I really identify with the theme, but also because I read somewhere that Lennon *really* was like that, and was somehow getting tired of people (McCartney?) waking him up because he was late for rehearsal... *I Want You (She's So Heavy)* is just amazing... even though I've been listening to Beatles since I was a kid (thanks mom & dad), I only listened to this one a couple of years ago, and it just got my attention... it's really beautiful... Honorable mention for "A Day in the Life".

cyclops79 on People in IT departments: Do you spy on the employees at your work?

I don't know what you did there, but when reading this on lynx, the underscores on your comment are blue, and on realmadrid2727's they're not... Also, I have no idea what this means, since this is was the first time I was trying lynx.
