How far are you from Haines?
News:
Several times a month, I will be in a store aisle reaching for something and feel a hand going up the inside of my thigh. When I turn around to find myself alone with a woman, and ask her if she would prefer me to hold still so she can get a better feel for the situation, oftentimes she will act "shocked" claiming nothing had happened, it must be somebody else...

and, upon finding himself in close-quarters combat with multiple assailants, attacks with such a witty rejoinder that the entire pack of goons is disarmed by laughing so hard that their jaws break and their teeth crack.
This is why the last part of a joke is known as the "punch line".

...am I essentially correct that the chances of China and Japan ending up in a shooting war over the Senkakus are just about zero? I just spent some time telling one of my more unfortunately impressionable friends on FB exactly that, and that she needn't worry over some silly article in the Telegraph prophesying a 3rd world war breaking out over Chinese territorial claims in surrounding waters. Then I decided that I don't actually KNOW that, it's just what I'm deducing using logic and logic is not always the best framework for dissecting international relations.
Thoughts?

Perception of pot use having no or low risk spikes among kids after WA legalizes...and yet, actual USE among kids has gone down. Tell me, how do you spin this to make it look as though legalization will cause hordes of children to start using?

Over the entire 350 year course of the African slave trade, roughly 13.5 million people were taken out of Africa.
The International Labor Organization estimates that there are currently 21 million people living in slavery RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
Free The Slaves, the US affiliate of Anti Slavery International estimates it at around 27 million, and calls that conservative.

Apple Zone / So, Loveshade's book
« on: February 02, 2013, 06:02:09 pm »
I sure as hell don't want to actually READ the goddamned thing, but it's my understanding that he lifted content directly from this website.
It's also my understanding that, unless something has a previously existing intellectual property license, once it's posted here it is technically the intellectual property of the site owner.
If I'm correct, wouldn't that mean we could get Loveshade's book pulled from any sites or stores that are selling it? And we could even sue him if we wanted to, right?

So I've acquired a shadow. He picked me, and he apparently will not leave my side for anything. And that's cool with me. After all, what could be cuter than a puggle with a little black tongue? Plus, he's super mellow and seems pretty smart. But he needs a name. PD, I require suggestions.

So I am officially not working on a ship anymore. The company pulled the plug on the whole operation and my captain ran off and got a job in Ghana on a ship that doesn't require a cook. I have several options, but none of them stand out as being appealing enough to trump the others. So I ask you, PD....WHAT DO?

« on: September 07, 2012, 03:34:49 pm »
...here are some thoughts. Perhaps they can even be considered a rough sort of guideline for whether or not your thread is going to be a productive one.
It's like this: when Nigel or Pixie starts a dialogue about feminism stuff, I feel like I almost always learn something, and that I am being talked to like a human being who is expected to have the moral fortitude to examine my own actions AND to speak up or act when confronted with the actions of others that perpetuate the problem. When Garbo or SP talks about it, I feel like not only am I being talked to like I'm just some rapist-in-waiting, but that I'm being preached at by a TRUE BELIEVER and those, regardless of their cause, automatically push the "OK, time to be a difficult assclown until this Uniform shuts up and goes away" button. So yeah, I perfectly understand the point about men having this weird entitlement issue about deserving a woman's attention for no other reason than having visited their own unsolicited attention on a woman and I think it's creepy and obnoxious and that changing that attitude would maybe go a long way towards preventing eventual more serious aggressive behavior. I understand most (but probably not all) of the points that are raised in the feminism-related threads. And I agree with alot of it at a fundamental level. But no power in the universe can make me want to continue the dialogue in the face of the above-mentioned behavior. But hey, it's not like 50% of the fucking world's population are men, right? So why bother acting in a manner that makes them feel included and like part of the solution?

So the company I work for just went out of business. We had 5 upcoming contracts get cancelled because the government pulled funding for the projects and since we had been counting on having those contracts we hadn't been marketing ourselves to other clients in that same time-frame. So with a choice between taking out a bunch more loans to keep the company afloat until we could get more work in november or december or selling the company now and hopefully breaking even, the captain is doing the smart thing and selling. I had an instant bidding war for my services develop (literally 3 offers within 10 minutes of losing my job) but they're all in Maine and I still remember why I moved away from there in the first place. So I'm going back to Portland to inevitably take some job that pays about half of what I should be making. So if any of you are secretly wealthy and in need of a personal chef, now's the time to speak up.
