Apple Zone / Re: I'm done.
« on: Today at 02:00:06 am »i gotta admit. i don't understand the facebook hate.
at first it seemed natural to join in the fun, because BIG BROTHER!
but then i stopped giving a shit about that, and now most of the hate seems to be 'facebook is dumb/useless.'
the thing i don't understand is people using facebook as a tool to find fools that they aren't friends with arguing about inane things, and then complaining about that very thing.
i use facebook as a means of communicating with friends and family about things that we are likely to have mutual interest in, and keep up with regular life updates. it seems to work fine as a means for that, and is what i believe it is meant to be used as.
am i right, or am i just missing a joke?
It's INANE. It's useful for keeping track of old friends, and trolling.

No shit. I can braid mine. It's like having an ass-Viking.

It's no use, Nigel. We Doktors know a hopeless case when we see one.
Fuck, I barely have any will to live right now as it is. If this thread ACTUALLY comes back to life, for real, I may lose the strength to continue breathing.

« on: Today at 01:45:24 am »I'm home. Exhausted, and still have two peer reviews to write by midnight tonight.
I don't feel like dealing with my kids, or their messes.
in good news, though, I also got matched with a researcher for my summer internship, and it's pretty fucking cool. From her website:QuoteMy research focuses on how media may affect health attitudes and behaviors. Through an ongoing research program, I aim to explore multiple variables articulating the process by which media, whether campaigns, news, or entertainment programs, can have an impact on individuals, groups, and societies at large. In particular, I am interested in how public health organizations produce and disseminate their messages and what the potential impacts of such messages are. In one recent project, I used social network analysis and hierarchical linear modeling to examine social norms in work groups around the issue of H1N1 influenza.
Um, that sounds difficult. The RIGHT KIND OF DIFFICULT. My jealousy is a truck.
I know, my heart went all poundy when I read it. This is not the kind of research I thought I might end up working on, it's better. Epidemiology crossed with social psychology!
And I go to work with crazy people. Not "he's so crazy, I want to be like him" people, just the regular depressing, back-stabbing, status-obsessed, control freak kind.
Yes, my jealousy is a truck. One of those big ass ore haulers with maybe a few cannons and a battering ram. And flamethrowers. Oh, yes.

Were there any bicycles in Road Warrior?
You'd better fly. I can arrange an escort from the airport. LAND IN DAYLIGHT.

You know where we are. Take a left turn at Phoenix, and don't stop for anything. ANYTHING. Call me when you are nearly here, and I'll turn off the landmines.

YOU'RE to blame, you insipid, flavourless rectal warts.
EVERY time I post a QUESTION on THAT SITE, I GET LIKES.
Every time I post good material, I get LIKES.
Every time I post something vaguely amusing, I get dozens of comments.
I'm moving to the desert (or glacier as we call it here) to live as a hermit and SHOUT BILE ALL OVER IT UNTIL IT FUCKING MELTS.
THEN, I'll come to your TOWNS to SHIT ALL OVER THEM with EXTREME PREJUDICE.
Fuck you.
Or Kill Everyone.
Come to Tucson, Waffle. Come to Tucson and live forever.

« on: Yesterday at 09:17:17 pm »Oh dear God.
One of my students is the son of one of "Berlusconi's Babes", the formidable female talent that flocks to the former Italian premier like prostitutes at a bunga-bunga party. Not a senior member of the Cabinet, but her name was put forward as a possible future Premier...assuming she can stop insulting Muslims for long enough to swear the necessary oaths of office.
I can think of several dozen ways to use this information, I'm just not sure which one is best.
I am willing to take advice on this. Also, to clarify, by "best" I mean "funniest".
As God is my witness, I have NO idea that wouldn't waste the opportunity.
