most parents in the US seem to think if they simply allow children to have nice foods (including buying the foods child asks for), child will become fat.
but it actually takes a huge effort including beating children and making them cry to make them fat. ... well that or appropriate mind-fucking.
i think people get persuaded of stuff all the time, but generally not by design. also they tend to hide it. also people tend to discuss certain major key issues, which they are inconsistent and irrational and entrenched about. they then don't persuade each other on those issues, and fail to notice all the progress on varied other stuff.

UPDATE: this entry is old. go here if you want my tetris.
i wrote a tetris clone is python using pygame. started 24hours 20min ago
the source code comes in 2 files:
[removed]
you wanna run tetris with blocks in the same folder. but first you need to have python and pygame installed.
NOTE: you have to right-click save-target-as to get the files, then name them correctly (tetris.py and blocks.py) because if you just click you'll open them in your browser. this will remain until someone explains to me how to put them up right.
get python here
get pygame here
the game isn't documented yet, but:
KEYS:
KEYPAD 4 or LEFT ARROW = LEFT
KEYPAD 6 or RIGHT ARROW = RIGHT
KEYPAD 5 or DOWN ARROW = TURN COUNTER CLOCKWISE
KEYPAD 8 or UP ARROW = TURN CLOCKWISE
SPACE or KEYPAD 0 = DROP
ESC = QUIT
B = redraw the screen. a debugging function. should never do anything. if it does there was a bug. tell me.
also there are some constants at the top of the blocks file you can change with a text editor. you can change the size of the blocks in pixels, the number of rows and columns the game uses, and the minimum brightness of blocks (they get a random color). changing anything but those 4 is highly NOT recommended unless you're a programmer.
if you find a bug please tell me. hopefully stupid, large bugs, if any, will be found before monday.
UPDATE:
version 1.1 now. a redraw bug fixed. rotation keys swapped. arrow keys added. b key added. game a little faster now. your score displays while you play. keypad 0 drops
INTENDED FUTURE FEATURES:
pausing (p key). game will get faster relative to your score up to a max speed. controls to send piece all the way left or right with one keypress (7,9,c,v keys). you currently can't slide a piece after hitting drop. i might change that. no guarantees (you can if you wait for it to fall)
NOT intended features: seeing next piece and a key to make piece drop faster but not instantly while held down, custom keybindings in-game. music. just play your own.
suggestions welcome, including extra keybindings
I wrote a tetris clone named curi's blocks in python! It took a little over 2 days. It's free unless you really like it. If you really like it you're absolutely required to give me lots of money. My paypal email addy is curi[at]curi[dot]us.
Download it in a here: curi's blocks.zip
It comes with a readme with instructions to run it and key controls and such. But I'll repeat one thing here: you need python and pygame installed to play. Get them here:
I tried to make a standalone windows executable version using py2exe and it actually ran but pausing or losing would crash it. So sorry, source code only. If anyone clueful wants to make an exe or app that'd be cool (hint hint).
Oh also, post your highscores in comments!
the lucky stars bit at the end of this scrappleface post is brilliant. fucking atheists will rot in hell :-)
the rest of the post is pretty funny too, though opposed to gay marriage.
interesting story (that goes with pic)
