i-Dose

Above is my i-Dose log, chronicling my experiences after i-Dosing earlier this afternoon.

You are probably asking yourself, "What's an i-Dose? And why is it relevant?" I-Dosing is the act of taking virtual "drugs", using binaural brainwave audio "doses" to give your brain the similar effects drugs have, without the high monetary and legal cost, negative side-effects and overdosing. All you need are some good headphones, a computer, and the i-Doser.

An example of an "i-Dose" can be found here. Put on some headphones and zone out for the intended effect.

I-Dosing is also the subject of moral panic newscasts in the nation as a "leading teen trend that will poison our youth". Even though i-Dosing is intended for people 18 and over, there are still retarded teenagers trying it out, similar with salvia and the subsequent legislation by family-values politicians and concerned mothers to ban the substance.



Naturally, I decided to experiment with an i-Doser and see if these e-drugs were legit. Unsurprisingly, as you can see from my log above, it's all baloney. At best, it'll give you a slight dizzy effect, but that's because the music is pretty trippy. Or, I could just be doing it wrong. I don't know. I still believe that i-Dosing produces the "placebo effect".

In conclusion, the only thing more stupid than i-Dosing is actually paying for i-Doses. If you want to try i-Dosing that badly, go knock yourself out. Just don't blame me if you get disappointed or, on the off-chance that it happens, addicted.

Regrettably yours,


PS: If anything, this song produces much more euphoria and happy feelings than any of that i-Dose garbage put together. Enjoy.

The Madman Diaries IV

Yes, I'm mad. And with good reason.



This. It's pretty damn horrible--the actions caught in this video are ranked within the same level of atrocity as the Abu Ghraib photos and the My Lai Massacre. Among the people killed were a journalist and a driver, and some children were wounded. It sickens me. Just because they were brown people does not mean that they were terrorists. Well, it's easy to mistake a camera for a weapon, but goddamn. Trigger-happy, much? Just like in My Lai, the party responsible for the killings pretty much got away with it.

Is there no justice in the world? Apparently.

The Internet's become pretty lame. YouTube has a new, horrible format that is less "You" and more "advertiser-friendly Facebook ripoff", and net-neutrality is going down the shitter. Parliament recently passed the Digital Economy Act, regulating how digital media will be distributed in the UK. Meaning, if you like piracy and you're British, well...you're boned.

On the subject of controversial things relating to the Internet, hentai in my CNN? It's more likely than you think. Kyung Lah, a Korean reporter who is CNN's Tokyo-based correspondent, reported about Japan's controversial eroge (erotic game) market. Among one of those games is "RapeLay", a 3D rape simulation game for the PC. Now, last year the game garnered a lot of negative attention internationally and the publisher, ILLUSION, pulled the game from the shelves after several groups were enraged about the game's subject matter, with even some special-interest groups wanting it and similar games banned entirely. Just last week, there was a report on CNN about "hentai games" and the game featured was "RapeLay". The problem with that report is that it's 1) old news, 2) not relevant to the interests of the world, and 3) harbors anti-Japanese sentiment. The latter can be blamed on both Kyung Lah's suspected bias against Japan (sadly, Koreans and Japanese in general hate each other, for obvious reasons) and the fact that a neighborhood of perverted otaku in Akihabara is now a representation of Japanese people as a whole. I am also bothered that people find eroge bothersome but do not find violent video games equally as repugnant. I mean, murder simulators are just as bad as rape simulators, right? I kind of expected this type of reporting to be found in Fox News, rather than CNN. Then again, cable news is quite sensationalist.

Also, psst, Kyung Lah had an affair with some other dude at KNBC before she got fired and then started working at CNN. Pass it on.



In lighter news, MTV's "Jersey Shore". It's full of guidos and cancer. Seriously, orange skin doesn't look healthy at all. And stop making those duck faces.

You know what else is cancerous? The Tea Party movement. Protesting against the establishment for a cause is awesome and all, but if you're among one of the many teabaggers out there reading this, stop being a tool. Seriously. Do you know anything about health care reform? Or do you just protest because you blindly follow whatever these talk-radio fascists tell you to do and sincerely believe that "socialism" is this great evil that will ruin America forever? Go read this and this, calm the fuck down, and think for a change.

Oh, and Sarah Palin is an ignorant trollop. 'Nuff said.

You'd think with all of this negativity surrounding me that I'd go mad...well, even more mad than before, but I've found something that has mellowed me out:





UKULELE = LOVE ♥♥


C'est la vie,

FreeRice.com

Another week, another website.

Unlike ChatRoulette!, this site is actually humanitarian and safe for work. My friend "Bunny" referred me to this site earlier today, and I actually like its approach. FreeRice is a website that has its sponsors donate rice to needy people across the world, and in order to help, you just answer vocabulary words correctly.
It's awesome in two ways: you can help feed hungry people, and you can also increase your vocabulary skills. If you really want to help out, just grab a dictionary (or access to the online equivalent) and start playing!

http://freerice.com/ Tell a friend!



PS: "Life is Strange" #5 will be posted next week. I'm 90% sure of it. Maybe.
