I liked in one of their books when they said magic is a terrible way to pick up women. It makes people think you are deceitful and crafty and manipulative, which they said is not attractive to women.

It's a good way of making women appear from nowhere though.

yeah i don't know much about them, other than the songs on rock band and guitar here...are they "political" or some shit? i guess they are the new Rush kinda so maybe they have weirdo libertarian leanings and shit

An in-law of mine has been tweeting obsessively on facebook about the recycling episode, telling everybody to stop recycling. Could anyone who has seen the episode break this down for me? The only clue I've got from this thread is:
The PETA one is the scariest thing ever. But I think the recycling one failed.― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, May 31, 2005 1:01 PM (5 years ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

from what i remember someone figured out the pollution/resoureces it takes to drive trucks to places and pick up news papers and then break them down vs just dumping them in a field, and it's supposedly WORSE for the environment to have all these extra trucks and factories running to reuse this stuff

Oh, I'm sure...
Also, for every action there is a reaction.
As in, we get to have our burgers in biodegradeable boxes, only get a shopping plastic bag when we really need it, and so on. So, Newspapers are given out free to train travellers, everyone tales one, only 50% of them are read, and 95% are left on the train to get recycled and reprinted. I vote we sack free papers.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
xp ok (or not, depending on whether that's true) but recycling is not just about energy saving, it's about not giving over the whole of your countryside to massive stinky unhealthy landfill sites.
― and the hint of parp (ledge), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 15:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I was thinking about that. And not stripping the countryside of natural resources in the first place.

stuff like paper might be better made from renewable resources rather than recycled, iirc. like to see the arguments against recycling rarer materials with finite supplies.

Getting the trash picked up at my curb is more expensive and uses more resources than simply throwing it out the window and letting it pile up in my backyard. Therefore trash pickup is bullshit.

That's the level of thought these libertarian asshats seem to operate under. Teller is a great magician though. Shame they had to go down this path.

I remember a "travels around the world" TV series they did, which was excellent and one I'd buy if it were available..
Teller did a bit of a video diary on it.

I'm finally watching this show, it's pretty great. The show about going green was so awesome. Some of them present really interesting points of view that I hadn't thought of, and never really see when these topics come up. They must get a lot of shit from leftists. Also, <3 the blonde with the perfect huge tits
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 30 April 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
definitely some interesting POVs on this show, but I certainly wouldn't take anything away from it, it's about the least objective thing on TV right now

I think I got through about 3 seasons, possibly more, a couple of years ago before I gave up on it.At that point i just found the inherent political slant too grating. Seemed they only wanted to be cynical in one direction.
Not sure how many series there are and that was around 2009 or 10 that i was watching it. Had to download it from Demonoid or something.

If it worked for him, ok, that's fine. Some people need a drastic change from old habits. Not anything I'd recommend for others. Especially anyone who isn't worth at least a few million dollars and can afford whatever medical assistance they need if things go south.
