    Puella Magi Madoka Magica Rebellion Movie

    So I'm sure there is a general Madoka thread buried somewhere, but does anyone want to talk specifically about the sequel movie? It was released in Japan this month, and I think it's coming to select theaters in the States in December. It somehow manages to add more to the ending that...

    Where to get OSTs?

    Does anyone know how you can buy anime OSTs (legally, of course? I'm not looking for bootlegs and such) from the US? I'm looking to write a musicology paper on the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime OST, and would like to find out where I can acquire a CD or something of the OST. Last I checked...

    Is the Internet killing alternative print news?

    This has been going on for a while - anyone who pays attention to the state of journalism and publishing knows that a lot of even major newspapers have been affected by the rise of Internet news (see, for example, The Christian Science Monitor's decision to go online-only) - but the dot-com boom...

    Mad Men Discussion

    Hey everyone! So, because Typhlosionisafirebadger; and I tend to take up way too much space in the Conversational Chat with discussions about Mad Men, it was suggested that we create our own thread here. I decided to do that, since I'm pretty sure we're not the only people who watch...

    NYC Soda Ban Overturned

    From The New York Times: You can read the rest at the link. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I think the "controversy" about this was overblown; I think it says a lot about our society and its entitlement that people were acting like it was a huge attack on their freedoms not...

    Yuri Fans! I need recommendations

    So I've recently started to get really into yuri. I'm aware of some of the more well-known titles out there - Strawberry Panic!, Kashimashi, Revolutionary Girl Utena, etc. - but I would like to find more. Preferably ones that deal with characters who are older than high school. (Note: I'm...

    The OFFICIAL The Most Popular Girls in School Thread!

    The official thread for one of the greatest YouTube series ever! If you haven't seen it yet, here's the link to the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-STtD96doeo It gets very addictive - and very quotable - very fast. It's kind of like Mean Girls meets Robot Chicken (and not just...

    Change default privacy settings

    I was wondering if it was possible for us to change the default privacy settings for the profile info from "Everyone" to "Registered users." While people should be updating their privacy settings, not everyone knows they're there (I didn't think to look at them until today and I've been...

    Little encounters with other Pokemaniacs

    So I thought we could have a thread to discuss those moments when we happen to discover that some other person, like a stranger on the bus or waiting in line or whatever, is also a Pokemon fan. Today I was riding the T (Boston's subway system) home from class and I saw that the dude sitting...

    Puerto Rico Votes to Become 51st U.S. State

    I did briefly mention this in the 2012 election thread in the Campaign Bus, but (unless I am mistaken, mods, in which case, feel free to move this) this seems like something that could be discussed here. So what does everyone think about this development? It should be noted that just because...

    The Frankenstorm Support/Survival Thread

    Hey everypony in the Northeast! I figured we needed a specific thread to talk about how we're coping with this crazy storm - at least, until all our power goes out and our laptops/cell phones run out of juice. Different from the "2012 tropical storms" thread in News of the World, this is...

    Easy shit to make with a blender or a toaster

    Hey everybody! I just got a blender and a toaster, and I really would like to use them to make something more interesting than smoothies (with the blender) or waffles and Pop-Tarts (with the toaster). Does anyone have any ideas for easy recipes - stuff a cookie novice could do - for these? I'm...

    MLB postseason 2012

    Hey baseball fans! I couldn't find a thread on this, so I'm creating one. This is a really exciting postseason because there are so many teams we didn't expect, and it seems like it's anyone's game (so to speak!) -- Teams that are in it this year: American League: Oakland Athletics - AL West...

    Common things you can't do

    As a companion to the other thread, "Uncommon things you can do." What are some things most people can do that you can't? For me, I never learned how to ride a bike or drive a car (and I'm 22).

    Free Plastic Surgery for Bullying Victims: Your Thoughts?

    So I am really interested in having a discussion about this article, about a girl who was bullied for her appearance, and an organization that gives kids like her free plastic surgery to "fix" the things that are "wrong" with their appearance so kids will stop bullying them: Autostraddle —...

    Problem with editing posts

    So there seems to be a bug when editing posts that wasn't there in the past. Sometimes, when I try to edit, my post will refresh (as though I just posted) before I hit "submit" and my edits will be lost. And then when I try to edit again, it will have the info box pop up asking me if I want...

    Moderating comments on blog entries

    Where do we go to approve or delete comments for a moderated blog entry? When I went to the entry itself, I saw a pending comment, but there was no button to approve it - only one to report it, which wasn't what I wanted to do with that particular comment. Help!

    SPORTS: How do we not have a EURO 2012 thread yet?

    Hey everyone! So there can never be too many places on the Internet to discuss soccer, and I was wondering what you all thought about the Euro Cup in Poland and Ukraine this month and who you are supporting. I am rooting for Poland, France, Sweden and Germany, in that order. What does...

    Italian soccer player Antonio Cassano condemns gay players

    So in the midst of the Euro Cup 2012, there's been a small controversy where Antonio Cassano, a player on the Italian national squad, responded to allegations by an Italian journalist that the team contains one closeted bi and two closeted gay players with anti-gay slurs and insisting that he...

    Can Children Be Psychopaths?

    What does everyone think of this article from The New York Times on "psychopathy" in children? It's certainly interesting and, if it turns out that psychopathy is a real medical disorder, it's good if we're detecting it early. But I'm also worried about the implications of this. I've seen some...
