Comment Re:Aged badly (Score 1) 298

Actually, myself and a bunch of old friends re-watched almost the entire thing recently, all the way up through 6th season. I'd say that it mostly aged well. However, the one aspect of the show that *didn't* age well was The Cat. I think I found him mildly amusing back in the day, but now when I see him, I think "racist stereotype" at best, and "minstrelsy" at worst. Doesn't ruin the show, but does detract from it.

Comment Imagine, a paranoia religion... (Score 1) 631

'[the] extent of the community [...] poses a paradox to the traditional way delusion is defined under the diagnostic guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, which says that if a belief is held by a person's "culture or subculture," it is not a delusion. The exception accounts for rituals of religious faith, for example.' Could you imagine what would happen if these people came together to form a religion, or some sort of NGO? I'd imagine that a lot of random people would get phonecalls like this : "Hello?" "Hi, is this Steve Smith?" "Speaking. Who is this?" "You know who this is, because you've been watching us. We know, because we've been watching you." "Is this a prank call?" "No it's not, but you already knew that. Listen, I'm calling on behalf of Citizens Against Gang Stalking, and we want you to leave Terry Johnson alone." "Who's Terry Johnson?" "He was wearing a brown suit in Starbucks today, right around 8:30 when you usually get your coffee. He noticed that you reached for the napkin dispenser right before he did. What, you thought you'd get away with that?" "I have no idea who you're talking about. What am I trying to get away with?" "Implanting a tiny microphone into the next napkin, so that he'd take it with him, allowing you to listen to his conversations wherever he went. I bet you never thought we'd catch you!" "uhm, I'm going to hang up now."
