I actually tried this, but my thumb slipped and accidentally activated FaceTime, and it was like fucking myself. Sure, I came almost instantly, BUT AT WHAT COST?

I drink in front of my kids. If pot were legal I would probably consume it in front of my kids, in moderation. I would not smoke in front of my kids, not any substance, ever. Derp. I will not self-harm in front of my kids. I mean, come on. What kind of totally stupid question is that?
RWHN, have you ever drank a beer in front of your kids?
Would you have, if it were illegal?
Most reasonable parents will not do anything that causes significant cognitive distress for their children.

I do have kids, and I think the question is both COMPLETELY RETARDED and a red herring.

It is hereby decreed that:
LIFE is too short and nasty, and the world too full of shit, for good people to be allowed to walk around without being appreciated, without being let to know that they, by existing, make the/my world a little bit warmer, a little bit friendlier and a little bit more beautiful.
THIS DECREE SUPERSEDES ALL SOCIAL ANXIETY
Yup.
Funny, I got over social anxiety, now I just have agoraphobia.
I am no longer thinking"they are laughing at me," I am thinking "They may want to kill me."
This feels like progress.#5
The concept of normality is strange.
You can be a huge fucking asshole and still be considered normal. You can wear slightly weird clothes, behave slightly weird, talk slightly weird, look slightly weird and suddenly you're an outsider. It doesn't really surprise me then, that half of Norway seems to be mentally ill at times, when the idea of normality is so narrow that you almost need to be crazy to fit in. We live in an awfully conformist society. I want to fight for a warmer and weirder society with a more inclusive idea of what normality is.
I think the majority of people are slightly insane, some just hide it better.
I find being visibly weird a good filtration device. Basically, all the people who'd reject you anyway when they found out about you can reject you immediately. It saves time.
The majority of people are 100% sane, but they have been led to believe that their completely normal idiosyncracies are somehow abnormal.

My most successful long-term mindfuck is to be nice to audibly appreciative to waiters, cashiers, call center people, etc. Just because they're being paid to helpful doesn't mean they should be appreciated any less.
I do that, too. It makes them feel better, and it makes ME feel better, and it makes the person in line behind me more likely to do the same thing.
It is awesome and I am 100% in favor. It makes their day a little bit nicer and that is never a bad thing.

Fun fact about dams: while they may be "in need of repair", they are rarely "repairable", due to not having a technology that repairs decaying concrete underwater. Or above water.

« on: Yesterday at 05:04:01 am »BTW, my city also has a dam in imminent need of repair.
http://www.swg.usace.army.mil/Missions/DamSafetyProgram.aspxQuoteAny dam safety issues at Addicks and Barker could have a far greater impact due to the magnitude of people and property downstream, as opposed to other dams around the country in rural or low-population density areas.
...Texas is rather prone to catastrophic weather events.
Then again, so is the Pacific coast, right?
I would be surprised if it didn't, given that most dams were build around 50 years ago and the lifespan for a dam is about 50 years.
The Pacific Coast is, perhaps oddly, not prone to catastrophic weather events at all. In fact, it is downright motherfucking placid. It is, however, prone to the occasional high winds, earthquake, volcano, or tsunami.

Someone I barely know messaged me on Facebook to ask whether I piss people off
Turns out she pisses people off too
Now we are friends.
It reinforces my belief that pissing people off is a CALLING.

I'm told by one of them the NHS is being deliberately allowed to fester.
Privatization is being offered as an alternative to the NHS, instead of trying to fix what's wrong with it.
This has been the core strategy of the privatization assholes since Reagan and Thatcher were phone sexing each other in the 80s.
De-fund it until it breaks, then claim it never worked.
Yep. Maybe someday The People will figure out that it's lies, but I'm not counting on it.
