Everything Wrong With ‘Django Unchained’ In 4 Minutes Or Less

I’m only reposting this here because I got 13 seconds in before the guy was complaining about how the movie doesn’t over-explain the exposition.

Arrogant nerds who want everything spelled out like a calculus problem need to be righteously shunned.

nossidge: i am the path along unseen heather Snowball (also called a Chaterism): A poem in which each line is a single word, and each successive word is one letter longer. One of the constrained writing techniques utilised by the Oulipo (Workshop of Potential Literature). o we all have heard people believe anything Given the mathematical genesis of the Oulipo and the interest in the movement among other programmers, I thought that someone must have created a program to generate these, and I was surprised that I couldn’t find one even after some pretty thorough Googling. So I wrote one myself. The C++ code is here. It takes input from a text file which contains novels from Project Gutenberg, scans for word pairs where the second word is longer by one letter, and builds up a poem using Markov chains. i am the dawn light before anybody expected something disorderly The poems in this post were all created by the program. They have not been edited. i am the very great change

liztellsfrank: Hey, friends! This is just a humble reminder that Liz Tells Frank: Volume 2 is still available for $0.99! It is also followed by a humble request for a favor: If you’ve already picked up a copy and you enjoyed it, perhaps leave a quick review on the Amazon page? This will help the book find its way into the Kindles and whatnots of other people. And hopefully they will enjoy it! And the circle of life continues. Happy weekend!
