this entire blog is probably the most relevant thing to my interests since EVER.

The marketing track are all scary bitches, but they get to study the fun stuff *seething envy*.

It's the most perfect thing. Most perfect blog. <3

Honestly, if you pair this with the pending legalization measures for medicinal uses,

they may well have created an unstoppable political excuse powerhouse.

I mean, I don't give a shit; my druggie friend helped me discover that I'm CALL-AN-AMBULANCE allergic just to the fumes.

So it literally makes no difference to me.

I just find the possibility for justification enormous and therefore fascinating, particularly from a social sciences mindset.

Follow the money.

All it ever is is money.

Anyone who says it's not money? Thinks it's power, and is misinformed.

It's the money.

GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN'.

Amen hallelujah.

Short version: I AM A MACRO. AND SO CAN YOU.

( ...I'll do it in three. )

Long version: ( Who is your commander? Is it him? )


Good lord. I've actually blistered my thumb on the spacebar. XD

What should I be doing?

Reading "Understanding Social Science Research Methods" and thinking over preparations for abstracting "Elaboration Likelihood Model Factors That Affect Motivation And/Or Ability To Process The Message: Distraction, Repetition, And Rhetorical Questions", in order to produce a six-page critique that's due in about two weeks, WITH accompanying presentation.

What am I doing?

I'm researching Romulan involvement in the Dominion War. And trying to figure out why 40 Eridani is in the Beta Quadrant on some maps and the Alpha in others. (Either the Romulans and the Vulcans are in proximity kinda, or they are not. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, PARAMOUNT. XD)

So. "Research Methods And The Impact Of ELM Interference Factors On Message Transmission: Romulan Involvement in the Dominion War".

Yeah! That'll be a sexy paper. <3

But Jheti, wait! What if he's a Star Wars fan?

Simple: I'm screwed.

I have 50 episodes to watch, in four series, assuming I can even track them all down. The three important ones, I'm positive, and probably the two-parter; the rest are definitely a crapshoot, though I've seen some TAS clips floating around on Youtube. I may be stuck recording *shudder* SpikeTV.

YOU GUYS.

I AM A RESEARCHER.

WHO DOES HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH.

I CAN FINALLY SAY THIS AND MEAN IT:

Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

I find this fascinating, not for the two obvious conclusions (to wit, "humans are social animals" and "fat people are ostracized!") but because, O! Here is where it gets AWESOME: whole chunks of the smoking group quit simultaneously. That is a large concurrent attitude shift for reasons we don't precisely understand yet WITHIN THE GROUP DYNAMIC.

*Is transfixed.*

Do want. <3

(For reasons of glaringly obvious overshare, quite bored of the "haha loners get sick more 'cause NO ONE LIKES THEM HA" research.)

We could: induce volunteering behavior, incite riots, force corporations to their knees...the list goes on.
