Friday was Frigg.

Thursday was indeed Thor, because he would have thrown a hissy fit if he got left out.

I always get Frigg and Freya crossed up.
I think most people would like to see Friday renamed "Friggday". We should propose that, and give the rest of the week to Fenris.
My sister is dragging me to an ugly sweater party in Florida when I'm down.
Not only is "sweater" and "Florida" a bad idea, but I need to make sure that I:
A: Win.
B: Embarrass the fuck out of her so I don't have to go again next year.

Enjoy.
I did indeed.
I'm weaving a complicated web of politics and self-interest in a hellspawn city that none of the characters in their right mind would ever voluntarily go.
Things are going as well as you'd expect, but I can't say much about them as Pixie is a player and reads this, and one of the other players is/was a long time lurker.

I have returned, victorious! From straightening out my latest getting-cut-off-from-food-stamps.
This time they said that they needed my 2013/2014 financial aid award letter, claiming they only have the 2012/2013 one on file (despite the fact that I hand-delivered them a copy in June) and also that they once again for the fourth time in a row cannot merely accept my word for it and a copy of the check as proof that my ex is paying me child support, they also need a statement from him.
In other words, if I could not prove to their satisfaction that I AM receiving child support, they would not give me money for food. Which is an interesting approach to that situation.
I am so so looking forward to being on stipend and not having to deal with this.
Also yesterday one of my dear old friends sent me a series of long, distraught texts about how she is IN A PANIC about not being able to get life insurance and she has high blood pressure and could drop dead at any minute and she can get her house paid off in five years but she's afraid she doesn't have that long and her husband won't be able to make the $700/month mortgage and he and her sons will be HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE and she's just TERRIFIED and they need someone to take care of them.
Her husband has a job, one of her sons is 22 and lives with his girlfriend, and the other one is old enough to get a job. Seriously, worst case scenario he can get a housemate, it's a big house in a great area. They only owe about $40k. Besides the fact that having high blood pressure is what I call "welcome to 40" and unlikely to result in her dropping dead of a stroke at any moment.

Doing my essay plan. Bleh. Abstract, bibliography, outline of essay. Apart from actually writing out the bibliography itself, I should be able to knock this out in...half an hour? Yeah, that seems reasonable.
I probably should be more diligent, since this is worth 10% of the module, but I cannot take this assignment seriously.

What's the subject matter? I'm guessing "Is terrorism a problem?" or something similar.
I got my 2nd chemistry midterm back.
I did miserably.
I don't feel TOO bad, my lab partner and everyone else I've talked to also did miserably. My first thought was that I must really not have studied hard enough at all, but we're all A students, hard workers, did all the homework, etc... but it was a really hard test and there were a couple of big point questions that were on material we hadn't covered in class.
Still, I think we all thought we were going to do better than we did. One girl I talked to, one of the class's supernerd study geeks, did even worse than I did.
One person walked out of the test. Turned out one student only got 10%, and my guess is it was that student. Over half the class didn't show up to lab today, so I'm assuming they dropped. Dude. I hope I do better on the final, because I can swallow a B. I would have a very, very hard time with a C.
I'm hovering around 98% in lab, and I got 93% on the first midterm, so it's possible I can still get an A in the class if I rock the fuck out of the final. Which, frankly, I suspect depends a lot on whether it's written and graded like the first midterm or like the second midterm.
I still think it's funny that this is the only class Bijijoo has ever flunked, and he went on to get a PhD in biophysics. :lol:

I could. But I have a weird feeling about it, and that feeling is that this guy is more erratic than I want to confront. There have been some strange interactions with other classmates. Someone mentioned that he acts like he's on painkillers and is sometimes in pain, which makes sense. There are cans of worms with people that I don't want to crack into. I could be TOTALLY wrong, but I don't want to go there, at all.
So far I have had very positive interactions with almost all of my instructors, to the degree that I get greeted and sometimes hugged in the halls by passing professors. I think I can afford to not have personal exposition experiences with one or two.

Even though I should be out of the age range of "Boy Racer" stereotypes, I have gone full on shirt and tie and shiny shoes with the added benefit of if I pass and they want me to take one of these (http://www.blueschoolofmotoring.com/media/passed-driving-test/driving-test-pass-farnborough-Euan-McMinigal.jpg) cheesy pictures I've got my companies name sewn on the shirt so I'll look boss as fuck and my actual boss may reward me (unlikely, but worth a shot).
Here's to not killing anyone even slightly in the next couple hours!

What's the subject matter? I'm guessing "Is terrorism a problem?" or something similar.
Quote from: Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies on December 04, 2013, 02:55:49 AM
I feel you there.
Well, the thing is, this is merely the essay plan for the next assignment, whose question is "discuss state terrorism over the past 50 years, is it different to non-state terrorism?"
All I need is the abstract, the bibliography and the structure/outline. In other words, something I would do as preparation for an essay
anyway. And that's 10% of the module grade, in the bag.
I understand why they're doing this. We have a lot of "track 3" applicants - people who didn't get onto the course from an academic background, but from a work related one. So military intelligence types, journalists, UN workers, paramedics and similar. Because of that, while they may indeed know the stuff pretty well, they don't necessarily have the academic background to do an essay in the required fashion or to the proper level. So this is a hand-holding exercise to make sure no-one fails right out on the first assignment, which is otherwise very possible (40% of the module, with a 65% score rate to qualify as not failing).
But it is kinda unnecessary in my case.
the other day I was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and Picard said to Wharf, "Sweep the Area"
I so badly wished that Wharf would've given Picard a you're-such-a-fucking-idiot-i-can't-believe-you-just-said-that-jesus-i-need-a-new-job kind of look and then shrugged his shoulders, sighed and proceeded to pick up a broom and start sweeping the bridge.

That was an informative link. And that guy got more of a driving test than I did. All my driving test consisted of was driving around the (small) parking lot and showing that I could park properly. The person grading me never saw me dealing with other cars or people (the parking lot was relatively empty as well).
Reading that I'm fairly sure that I will never drive if I ever got to the UK.
Also congrats on passing :)
Feeling particularly Holy™ today.

So I just spent a pay check taking my cat to the vet to figure out why she's wasting away to nothing.
Got the blood work back and everything is picture perfect. Kidneys, thyroid, white cells; all that shit is perfectly normal. So it's either genetic or I have figure out how to afford an x-ray of her stomach to see if there's something keeping her from digesting food properly or whatever.
It's the same thing every time I go to the doctor, too. Perfect everything. Nothing wrong. Don't know why migraines and increased vertigo and the rest.
What the fuck use are these people?

This is the reason "pet insurance" is actually a thing.
I know a few people whose attachment to those yowling furry parasites are so intense, they've spent literally thousands of dollars keeping them alive one more year.
I occasionally like my cat, often don't, but I'm pretty sure for all my cavalier callousness, I'll end up doing the same.

Hi guys. I've been keeping tabs on y'all but haven't had much to say for myself.
I've been pretty much constantly sick with upper respiratory infections for about 2 months straight. My doctor put me on allergy/asthma medication that suppresses my immune system, so while I can breathe better, I'm a walking bag of contagion.
I've missed enough work that they're probably going to fire me this week.
:banana:
It's probably for the better since my commute is about 3 hours (total) per day and from what I've gathered they'll have to cough up unemployment.
Also, I'm glad to see Verb, Cain, and Payne have returned.

Well, it's very very formalized, and full of rituals that I assume have been done in a very precise and specific way for hundreds of years. EVERYTHING is codified, I mean there are probably books on how you do every tiny thing for a formal event like this; the timing of the music, the clothes, the arrangement of the chairs for the Royal Family. Then the Royal Family comes in, in a very specific order, queen sits on one side of the king and crown princess on the other, other princess and the other two (princes?) sit behind them with the princess slightly more forward behind the queen.
THE DREADFUL FORMALITY!
The carefully and perfectly choreographed dinner! It was all so profoundly
uptight. But also kind of beautiful. And it went on for so long. It looked EXHAUSTING.
It's just very interesting, observing the extremely carefully codified ritual of a fairly old European society.

Damn, Net. Hope that clears up for good, right quick. But not before you can cough on your higher-ups if you get tossed.
Net has achieved his life's dream of becoming a walking biological weapon.
I did a terrible Mass Effect video yesterday, where I decided to play the class most often associated with noobery and inexperience - the Human Soldier, with the Avenger assault rifle. Terrible. Awful. The Avenger has about the lowest sustained DPS of any weapon in the game. The Human Soldier is actually not bad - his Adrenaline Rush ability automatically reloads the weapon (turning slow, heavy, one shot weapons into a two-shot weapon), gives you a temporary damage bonus (70%) and gives you a small shield recharge boost.
Unfortunately, the Avenger has a 30 bullet clip which reloads fast, 70% of almost nothing is still nothing, and the shield recharge is useless when you're not doing enough damage to kill the enemy. I didn't even get 25 assault rifle kills :sad: I'll put the video up tomorrow, as I've got an interview this afternoon, and knowing the Youtubes, the upload wouldnt finish until after the interview was scheduled to start.
Tonight, I'll do the Human Infiltrator with the Mantis sniper rifle. Also seen as a noob choice, though the human infil can really fuck up an enemy's armour, and the Mantis is actually not bad, if you know how to aim.
Yesterday, within the space of an hour, four different drunk people told me I was a good father.
Well, thr first one called me a good mother.
She told me how proud of me she was about 15-20 times, proud of me, for being a great mom.
Um... Where are you?
Onna bus.
The 45 to Mt. View goes past a shelter, a jail, and to eventually, my neighborhood.
No no, she was on a different one. Wasnt even the 45. lol.
A few were walking around downtown and just thougt i should know, I guess.
Alty is also a hell of a MILF.
I'd hit it.

Ohhh my god, those are the worst! The thing is, 99% of the time those things are run by cultlike organizations which survive by getting people brainwashed into believing that they're The One Right and Only True Way and that all their subordinates Must Attend the Seminars if they want to be promoted, and a sizable percentage of them are deep fronts for Scientology.

It seems my presence is required in the office from the start to the end of the working day. Apparently I agreed to this. Apparently my contract says this. I should also be very grateful to him for everything.
The chap seems to have the wrong end of the stick. It isn't, I didn't, it doesn't and I am not. Ends with a "pre-verbal-verbal warning".
Interview tomorrow. I don't think you're supposed to laugh during a disciplinary but I really had no other choice. At least there seems to be plenty of more sensible employers to talk to.
There is a pork shoulder in my oven.

I could have taken the easy way of trolling people, which is to get a class with Shockwave or Overload, and stand next to a sniper all game (yes, friendly powers in this game cause screenshake too), but that's just dickery, and not very amusing dickery at that.
As it turned out, I landed in a lobby even less experienced than me. You can tell - banners are usually a sign of experience, as is a high N7 or Challenge Point score. More experienced players tend to use quality weapons (rare or blacklisted), with the right mods and equipment. I have a Best of the Best banner, meaning I have completed all the in-game challenges at least once and they...well, they did not.
Though, being fair, they were not bad. Our Juggernaut was pretty useless, clearly a player not experienced at Gold and so going for defensive play, but the Collector Adept and Shadow did damn good. If you pay close attention, you'll see the Shadow pulling off a few impressive headshots with that Carnifex, for example.

With this post, I'm in the mile high peedee club. On my way to Prague.

Bio final!
I have mitosis and meiosis down, along with the fundamentals of heritability. I'm weaker in cell communication than I would like to be, and photosynthesis is a complicated wad of shit I do not care about but I know the basics.
I'm boning up. Signaling, reception, transduction, signaling cascades, response, regulation, apoptosis. Right?
:horrormirth:
Just spent the day doing the essay plan I intended to do last week. 8 hours in total, including finding and adding all sources to the bibliography.
And I may have a tutorial tonight. Bleh.
Edit: I don't, though I have one down on my personal list. Must be a typo. Oh well, tonight will be spent headshotting things instead. Or attempting to, at least.

Giving Jenne a pass on this, for the obvious reason.
Yeah, I can't hold anything against her. That was a rough time for her.
Yeah. Pregnant, weird husband issues, maniacs for friends, and "Roger trying to HURT DA BAYBEEEE".
Jesus, Khara was a nutcase.
God, no shit. I forgot about her. :lol: If I posted in a thread anywhere near one of her posts, she would accuse me of stalking and harassing her, even if I was obviously not talking to or about her in any way, shape or form. Paranoid freak.
"Good morning."

Pagan Journeys. What was her name? The horrible nasty admin lady?
Was that Wyldkat's place? Or am I getting it confused with one of the other million pagan forums I've been to over the years?
This was really recent. In the last 7-8 months.

Wednesday/Thursday training class, "Situational Awareness", cancelled because the instructor was apparently killed at the airport when stepping in front of a shuttle bus.
Which is even funnier than the original report (car accident).
I live in a James Thurber novel.
Also, a friend of mine on Facebook (I have no idea who he is, or how I know him/who I friended him through), Dan Ryan, just described my profile pic as "Lemmy meets Hulk Hogan".

So I'm back from my bio final. I think I done OK. There were a LOT of questions about fermentation and photosynthesis, though, and those are both definitely not my strong points. Nailed all the questions on the cell cycle, DNA, and heritability though.
I've been offline. When is the horrible chem final?
Thursday. I'm all kinds of nervous about that. Trying to decide whether to start going back through my chem homework now, or whether to kick back a little and take my architecture final today so I have nothing BUT chem on my plate for the rest of the week.
If it were ME, I'd do the second option. But you're not me. Or rather, I'm only one of you.

I would like to take a moment to mention that the final I just took, for the architecture class, counted toward one of my two required art humanities classes, which means there is only one class between me and my transfer degree. That class is "Analysis and Evaluation of Argument".
I hope it's as fun as it sounds. :lol: I also hope I'm not a totally insufferable pedant by the end of it.

On the plus side, that trainer should reduce their rates substantially. It's going to be fun for them getting new business in for the next few years.
Is the trainer the organisation behind the instructor? Because I don't think the instructor is going to be too worried about getting new business.
That's who I meant. Depending on the size of them it could be a business killer. In the UK, a lot of training providers are fairly small outfits, 5-10 people at most usually. Anything like this is pretty devastating as not only is your colleague dead, he's cast a question on the general competence of the lot of you, regardless of the circumstances. The inevitable result is cancelled business and a bad few years. At best. A lot of folk will just shut down and set up again under a new name to avoid explaining the death in the safety statistics.

We're all worried about Jim, he hasn't been drinking as much lately.
Might have a job. Been asked to a second interview...so long as the section manager is happy with me, I can be a kitchen bitch again. Yay.
It's money though, at least.
Good luck!
The upsides: It will get you some cash while you're in school.
It's work you won't take home.
You won't be on call. Pretty much ever.
It's not forever.
I seriously considered looking for bar back work I could do for a few hours a week at night. It would be nice to have something I could just go do, put in the hours, and go home, and not think about it in between.

WHY IS THIS SAYING A THING NOW?
I'll show you! I'll crap someone else's pants at work.
I have about had it with the new leadership of the PSU neuroscience club. The old leaders are both up at OHSU now, and the new ones are a bunch of do-nothing clowns with exclusionary attitudes who seem to be intent on driving the club into the ground. They hold the meetings at a time and place very few people can attend, and when people suggest they change that to make it more inclusive their response is invariably "This is the time and place that works best for the active members (ie. the ones who attend meetings) and if you want to change it you should show up to meetings and vote".
Um, I'm asking because I can't attend that time at that location... and the only way to change it is to show up at that time and that location? Ummmkay.
The other thing I requested was an announcement of the next meeting time immediately after the previous meeting. I am not the first person to request this. It's standard practice almost everywhere, with everything. The response is invariably "The meetings are biweekly, put it on your calendar".
Getting the impression that the LAST thing they want is for more people to show up at their meetings.
They also tried to rename the group from "Scholars for Awareness of Neuroscience Education" to "PSU Neuroscience Club" based on an un-announced vote taken at an un-announced meeting held at a time and place that is impossible for anyone with a job who isn't already on campus at 5pm on Wednesdays. Seriously. They did that. Meanwhile the original founders have worked really hard for the last couple of years to do outreach and bring in speakers and start branches at other colleges, including at OHSU, under that name. They picked the name for a reason.
OK, seriously. Have them killed. Or give me their email addresses and I will send them scary messages.
Do not fuck with science awareness scholars, those are the kind of people whose existence always surprises me. It runs counter to my expectations and I like being surprised in that way.
In case anyone needed to know, it is ALMOST THREE STAMPS to send a letter/card to Canada these days. :crankey:

Try to think wave instead of particle. I know, it is quantum but that is how reality works, sadly.
Hybridized orbitals are wave interference patterns
1, don't think of it as some random area where electrons just magically happen to prefer to hang out.
1 These are electron 'waves', as in: areas with increased probability. The reason we call them waves is because waves are results of density differences in the water
2 And quantum wave effects are the result of differences in probability density.
2Water waves don't measure as density differences because they instantly get equalized with air pressure, but that is all there is to them. The high bits of the wave are symptoms of a higher potential water density straight below them when compared with the potential water density of the low parts of the wave.
Dammit, I lost track of my train of thought. Anyway, electrons are nothing more than potential interactions. Why these interactions are limited to a certain area is not something that is currently understood in any human way. I'm sure there is some math out there about this subject, but let's avoid that headache. Anyway, these probability areas act exactly like pressure areas because they are the exact same thing. Pressure is nothing more than the probability that one molecule will bump into another one. Likewise, these electron orbitals are nothing more than areas with a disproportianally higher chance that an 'electron bump/interaction' will happen there. This can be said even if we do not know if electrons actually exist as particles. Now if we combine two of these orbitals they will act just like the waves in water in that they will create interference patterns that can be stable. If they are not stable they will immediatly resolve so we can ignore the unstable patterns. What is left is what we see in reality, some atoms allow orbital hybridization because that is a stable interference pattern between the previous
3 high-probability-of-electron-interaction areas.

OK, seriously. Have them killed. Or give me their email addresses and I will send them scary messages.
Do not fuck with science awareness scholars, those are the kind of people whose existence always surprises me. It runs counter to my expectations and I like being surprised in that way.
Seriously, it's pissing me off. I wish the founders were still around to whip these fuckers into shape.

Hybridized orbitals are wave interference patterns1, don't think of it as some random area where electrons just magically happen to prefer to hang out.
1 These are electron 'waves', as in: areas with increased probability. The reason we call them waves is because waves are results of density differences in the water2 And quantum wave effects are the result of differences in probability density.
2Water waves don't measure as density differences because they instantly get equalized with air pressure, but that is all there is to them. The high bits of the wave are symptoms of a higher potential water density straight below them when compared with the potential water density of the low parts of the wave.

No, I understood that part. The part I was having trouble with were questions in my homework about
potential pi bonding for atoms of various electron geometry. I went to school and talked to my lab instructor about it and she said that the questions don't make any sense and to not worry about them.
:lulz:
Anyway, we had some good study time and it all makes a lot more sense, and I understand now why predicting potential pi bonds in an unbonded atom didn't make any sense.

Good luck!
The upsides: It will get you some cash while you're in school.
It's work you won't take home.
You won't be on call. Pretty much ever.
It's not forever.
I seriously considered looking for bar back work I could do for a few hours a week at night. It would be nice to have something I could just go do, put in the hours, and go home, and not think about it in between.
Yeah, the only downside is that it's a temporary contract. On the plus side, it's with a large firm, and I know more positions will be available once this contract ends.
In other news, Youtube is gently, but persistently suggesting I monetize my videos.
I might do that in the New Year, once I have a greater number of videos up. Even if I get the job I'm going for, I'm only working 17 hours a week...I'll be more than able to upload videos. Hell, I'm sitting on videos currently, the only reason I'm holding them back is because I'm thinking of doing a class guide to Mass Effect 3 MP, as a kind of warm-up before doing the Dragon Age stuff.
Well, I must say I enjoy looking at those vids, even if I have very little idea what's going on, as my last 1st person shooter was Doom.
Also, your speaking voice has gotten better. One could even say you sound sexy.
Thanks. I know I still need to play around with the settings somewhat, as well as just improve generally. I think I might mix it up between live commentary and voice-overs, since I can at least prepare a script for the latter, and don't have to concentrate on what I'm doing all the time.
But since live commentary is more fun, I obviously want to get better at that, rather than become complacement with voice overs.
Also, I wasn't sure if there's player-to-player chat -- you had mentioned that you do some of these games to troll; I wasn't sure if you got any direct feedback from them, or if you just get kicked out of rooms.
There is, but the PC Master Race are aloof bastards - unless I'm playing with friends, there is almost no chatting. Which is probably for the best, given how that usually goes on Xbox (12 year olds calling you "faggot").
I'm also not broadcasting what I'm actually saying, the computer mic is on for recording purposes, but I need to hold down a button to chat in-game. You'll hear some chatter on my next video, actually.

Yes, because (at our level, at least) you can't fucking predict pi bonds in an unbonded atom, because there's no context for the bonds.
The homework question made me think that I has missed something crucial, because it was asking that I do exactly that.

There is more drama with the neuroscience people. The main founder and I had a lengthy chat conversation in which he revealed that he is completely unhappy with the new leadership, who are childish, petty, and intent on some sort of weird power struggle. They have been trying to jettison him from the group, including de-adminning him and booting him from the listserv (in violation of their charter). None of these people will end up getting into neuroscience graduate programs, I guarantee it; it's too small a community to deliberately exclude and alienate the people who will be your colleagues and advisors. He has been accepted into the program at OHSU, as has the co-founder, and I am astonished that the new elected leaders of the group are deliberately alienating someone who is now in a position to mentor them. It's pretty incredible.
I went ahead and started a satellite group meeting.
Oh, and they refuse to add me to the listserv. I'm sure they have some rationale, but again, it violates the group's charter.

They're undergrads, so mostly between 19-22. I think the main problem with them is that they are kids and they see being club president/vp/treasurer as an end to itself, while the founders saw it as an opportunity to learn, network, and do outreach. They don't
want to do outreach or networking because then someone else might get elected in their spot, and they also don't want to do the work of finding researchers to come talk or otherwise organizing events. They don't understand that the real value of the club is having the opportunity to go to events and meet researchers at institutions where they might be able to intern, thereby gleaning valuable experience and recommendations.

What I really do, see, is I've mastered the deadpan stare over the top of the clipboard.
I just SHUT UP at them until they spill their rotten guts.
I bet that works perfectly. It's similar to how I deal with sales reps.

Sorry to hear about the gut rustling Rog..
I have a day off! First in 10 days.
Im drunk. Lovey Black Kraken Rum & Kona Coffee.... Decompressing some... It's really odd that other teams had lay-off as their projects wrapped up, and I've had weekend overtime since before Thanksgiving..
This industry is crazy.... I'll fit right in.
:lulz:
I'm going to be in Florida in 5 days, and I have no idea why my parents insist on sending me pictures of this year's deliberately tacky Christmas decorations. I'm just glad my mom threw out all of the old broken blinky lights and replaced them behind my father's back since lights started showing up in stores in, uh, September. She also told him no more pink flamingos n the front lawn. So as a result, he retaliated the palm tree out front has 1000 lights on it alone. The pic they sent me is so bright all I see is a blob of light. To get dad back, mom put 400 lights on a 7' pine tree in the backyard without him knowing, then turned it on when he was back there at the fire pit last night for science.
Meanwhile, they had to put the vacuum cleaner next to the tree to train the kitten not to go near it. All they have to do is pop it on and he runs. My dad decorated the vacuum, so now it's actually part of the decor. No, really:

Oh, and rumor has it, he's included a ghetto in the porcelain village. Because a few houses have gotten broken over the years, so they got repainted...boarded up...and fenced off.

Hell yeah. I can even tell I'm coming down with a fever before the symptoms start because my dreams start getting screwy.
Update (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e3C5czNcEo) on the Youtube copyright situation
In that vein, I've emailed Bioware asking for explicit permission to do my playthrough, for proof in case a Youtube copyright troll comes after me. I know other people have done it before, but those people have partnerships and affiliations, which means they have assistance if Youtube says "take it down lol". I don't, so I can only rely on explicit permission in the case of a dispute.
We'll see if they get back to me.
So, back to LMNO's letter. It's not going to be terribly long, at least not STUPID long, but I don't want to rush it, so it goes in the mail tomorrow.
And since some of you tards can't seem to get your act together and REPLY TO JUNKENSTIEN, I don't know who else I have to write, so I can't begin, so the other person on my list will probably get their letter in, I dunno, March or some shit.
Letter's getting a little strange. Rambling, but not "flow of consciousness" crap, which I despise.

Rhode Island *might* get 3-6" of snow tomorrow. We also *might* get rain. They don't know. All I know is that the city is ready to shut down, because that's exactly what it should do when snow needs to be removed from the roads. Fucking Providence, it always does this.

Yep. Because for whatever fucking reason thanks to the Blizzard of 78, New Englanders blindly associate snow with bread and milk. Fuck that, I associate it with Sambuca and a nice dinner.

No band, no jukebox, and it's too loud to have a conversation.

Karaoke.
NEVER. AGAIN.
The naivity of the news is actually making me sick.
"OH WHY WONT WE HELP THESE POOR SYRIANS IN THE REFUGEE CAMPS MORE, OR EVEN LET THEM INTO EUROPE?"
Uh, maybe because refugee camps tend to be run by those sympathetic to insurgent and rebel groups, that such areas are rich in opportunities for recruitment and obtaining funds and, basically, how else can we make Syrians desperate enough to take up arms against the regime in Damascus?
We let them somewhere nice...well, all that is put in doubt. Why the hell do you think it's Jordan where the biggest camps are being set up? Maybe because all those Saudi and CIA spooks are in the camps, making contacts and handing out guns.

So I'm back from my bio final. I think I done OK. There were a LOT of questions about fermentation and photosynthesis, though, and those are both definitely not my strong points. Nailed all the questions on the cell cycle, DNA, and heritability though.
My final is not cumulative, but rather on mitosis, meiosis and... ermm chapter 14 and 15, which I have not read yet.

Actually, I really fucking hate it, and I'm not going to hide it.
Coyote is a good dude, and I don't appreciate maligning him because of some stupid atheist bullshit, especially where he fully supports my exploration of what is God thing.
I would like to see Coyote come back, and I would like to see him get zero grief when he does. I mean, come the fuck on, the whole basis of this is the assumption of how he feels about religion and religious people. He supports me in my spiritual what the hell is God poke poke poke thing even though he doesn't believe in it. Hoopla took a reassessment. Cain came back, buiochas le Dia, and hopefully Coyote will make a full return too. And, you know, Cain was pretty fucking offended so why are you all pissing on Coyote? Hell, the only person who I've seen here who has pissed on religion in general is ECH. And you know, whatevs.
Coyote is one of us.
I'm pissed off.
Just sayin'.

I understand the sentiment, but think about this.
Roger WAS your friend. A misunderstanding changed that. You both have PTSD. I can help you as much as I am able, but I have never had the crises of ideology that both of have had. You both need each other, I think, especially with some things that Roger has said recently. So, I dunno. Talk. Like friends. It really can be that easy. I've done it. I have in fact made friends, and extremely close ones at that, from former enemies.

Coyote is my friend and that will not change, and if something bad is said about him, I will contradict it. That shit's going to happen. Because this shit is retarded.
Ok, here's an example since the person in question was the person who seems to have sparked this whole bit of crazy bullshit.
I said something on Facebook, damned if I remember what it was, and Pent commented on it, from apparently an anti-theist position. Now, because I know Pent, want to go to Scotland again and have a few beers with him, I just passed it off as, well Pent is an antitheist asshole, especially where it comes from a position of antitheism.
What ended up happening was Villager asking, "Who the hell is [Pent's real name]?" "Oh. He's a fellow Discordian." "Of course he is, he sounds like an asshole atheist." Legit assessment. That's what we like about Pent, but it's a bit off-putting to the rest of the world. Was the argument ultimately about Villager's Paganism and Pent's atheism? No, it was the approach. This is Boston dammit, and we don't care what you think as long as you're not deliberately contrary about it.

:lulz:
Only if Captain Utopia is running the joint.
Mod team: Charley, Khara, Coyote.
Who the hell am I missing from the WE HATE ROGER & NIGEL crew?
I still have a bad taste in my mouth about Coyote. Coyote is my friend. I still don't know what happened with Charley, but I don't like him being lumped in with this, especially from another former soldier. Coyote's got some things going on, and what you said here in regard to him is totally unfair. Just saying.
Actually, I really fucking hate it, and I'm not going to hide it.
Coyote is a good dude, and I don't appreciate maligning him because of some stupid atheist bullshit, especially where he fully supports my exploration of what is God thing.
I would like to see Coyote come back, and I would like to see him get zero grief when he does. I mean, come the fuck on, the whole basis of this is the assumption of how he feels about religion and religious people. He supports me in my spiritual what the hell is God poke poke poke thing even though he doesn't believe in it. Hoopla took a reassessment. Cain came back, buiochas le Dia, and hopefully Coyote will make a full return too. And, you know, Cain was pretty fucking offended so why are you all pissing on Coyote? Hell, the only person who I've seen here who has pissed on religion in general is ECH. And you know, whatevs.
Coyote is one of us.
I consider myself an iconoclast.
Seriously though, I couldn't agree more with you about Coyote. I've no reason to think he's anything other than a solid dude and there's no reason to lump him in with the EB&Gtards.
I'd like to see Coyote come back as well.

Coyote announced that he has "suspected me of being an asshole from the start", and that I - and Nigel, apparently - are rotten people and all that is bad in the world.
So you'll excuse me if I don't suddenly fill up with camraderie and fellow-feeling.

Yeah.
It's funny when the morons do it. When it's people you thought more of, it sucks.
I have no idea about what happened with Coyote.
I avoid discussions about atheism and similar because I find them dull, geneally.
What I do know is that Coyote is not here to speak his piece.
And that he is not like those other dorks.

Um, yyyyeeeeahhhhh. I missed this the first time through. That is not what happened, at all. He's making it sound as if you and I set out to persecute Coyote, personally. And the funny thing is that I actually kind of understand, sort of, why Coyote hates ME because it was my thread and it did get right up in the face of people who choose to glean a sense of superiority from not believing in gods. However, I don't get why he hates YOU so much.
Twid's posts kind of summarize to "HOW DARE YOU HATE MY FRIEND FOR HATING YOU AND SAYING SHITTY THINGS ABOUT YOU? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TRY TO INFRINGE ON HIS EXPRESSIONS OF CONTEMPT FOR YOU AND YOUR KIND".

For that I am sorry. Roger, you know I trust you and got your back.

S'ok.
And Charley's problems weren't medical. That shit started long before his decline in health. It was at the time that you were going to visit him, IIRC.
Yeah, Charley had problems. But calling him out for a broken sexual organ because of a terrible surgery is sort of, you know, FUCKED.

Looks like we've got another one.
:lulz:
Let me tell you why I thought.the Coyote had gone:
He has not made a big claim as to why things arent so. I would figure a reasonable Mensch (as I have in the past considered Coyote) would tell his Disco Bros what was up,.from his side.
That he has not done this enough to make a whole thread boggles my mind.
That goes for all.of you.out there, too butthurt to air your butthurt. Why?
C'mon, we are all here, let us chat.

Looks like we've got another one.
:lulz:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I could undergo some shitty procedure you could talk shit about when I am gone.
Do me a favor and dont talk to me.
No reason to, since you're just going to twist everything to your own batshit little agenda.
Buh-bye, fuckface.

Let me tell you why I thought.the Coyote had gone:
He has not made a big claim as to why things arent so. I would figure a reasonable Mensch (as I have in the past considered Coyote) would tell his Disco Bros what was up,.from his side.
The thread where it happened is all that he really ever said at the time. Then he came back and vented about how I was born bad, etc, etc.
He's had all the time in the world to make his case. What he actually said was "I always felt Roger was a shitty person", or something very much like it.

Yeah, well, Charley felt that it was funny, at EB&G, to bring up the cardiac issues I had. Something about "the natural result of my behavior".
So not too worried about it. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, the nasty old piece of shit stopped existing quite some time ago. I just regret wasting a great story idea on him.
Well, I can't express how glad I am that Twid decided to do a little preaching in the interest of attention-whoring peacemaking.
It has worked out so well.

You can like your friend all you want. But he made his feelings toward me clear, and I don't hate him but I don't trust him or want anything further to do with him.
Roger is a cartoon bad guy. Roger has no emotions at all except evil glee. Roger is at fault.
Or ROGERANDNIGEL. Or whatever the fuck.
Nobody's "maligning him (Coyote) because of stupid atheist bullshit".
Yeah, well, why examine what actually happened, when you can just make shit up?
Thread is still there. Twid, you might want to read it again.

Indeed, why would I?

I assume he has some issues he is dealing with. I also don't really care. If someone's issues make them think I'm a giant piece of shit, clearly they aren't someone I should have in my life.
Coyote doesn't deserve bad things from me, simply for suddenly and without warning deciding that I am a shitbag.
Apparently, I deserve what he did.
Or so I am fucking told.

Seriously, though, what Coyote did reminds me of people who kick the cat because they had a shitty day at work. Which is pretty chickenshit, when you think about it. PTSD or no, he's got enough smarts to see that. But he did it anyway.

Which apparently includes offering a diagnosis on the current state of my PTSD (back a few pages), and the insistence that because we were both soldiers, we should hold hands and take long walks together on the beach, holding hands and stomping on piss crabs.;
Fact is, I left the military in 1996. I wish I had never joined in the first place. I feel no kinship with anyone strictly on the basis of their service, prior or present...Certainly not when they go bugshit and declare that I (and you, for that matter) are the cause of all ills.
So Twid got to be a friend to Coyote, at my expense. I hope that works out well for him. I think that instead, Coyote will eventually do the same to Twid as he did to me, like the rabid fucking nutbag he is, but I hope that this isn't the case. I hope that they stay friends for a long time.
As far as I'm concerned, though, I have been pitched under enough buses. Twid can fuck off and find some other cause to pontificate about.

Hang on there.
I weighed in on whether you had PTSD or not based on some things that you said recently, and I went on to think that perhaps that because of that you can understand Coyote flipping out. And I'm going to revisit the things that he said about you and reassess. Because I'm also still your friend, even though you seem to be willing to terminate that friendship.
As far as me throwing you under the bus, you may also recall a few pages back that I directly said I can't get onboard with Coyote's animosity toward you. That apparently makes me an attention-whoring shitweasel. Well, the fact that you feel so strongly about that makes me think that I should go back and see what there is to see. Maybe I missed something. Maybe I didn't. I'll have to make that determination over the next few days.

Well, after reading two pages about how HORRIBLE I am, I wasn't exactly in the fucking mood to politely clear my throat and mildly suggest that he do what he should have done in the first fucking place.
:lol:
You know, maybe I should have, but not once have I said you were a horrible person.

Coyote doesn't deserve bad things from me, simply for suddenly and without warning deciding that I am a shitbag.
Apparently, I deserve what he did.
Or so I am fucking told.
If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, is it still Roger's fault?
Yes. Yes, of course it is.
Twid has said that to be a friend to Coyote, he had to do what he did.
Which apparently includes offering a diagnosis on the current state of my PTSD (back a few pages), and the insistence that because we were both soldiers, we should hold hands and take long walks together on the beach, holding hands and stomping on piss crabs.;
Fact is, I left the military in 1996. I wish I had never joined in the first place. I feel no kinship with anyone strictly on the basis of their service, prior or present...Certainly not when they go bugshit and declare that I (and you, for that matter) are the cause of all ills.
So Twid got to be a friend to Coyote, at my expense. I hope that works out well for him. I think that instead, Coyote will eventually do the same to Twid as he did to me, like the rabid fucking nutbag he is, but I hope that this isn't the case. I hope that they stay friends for a long time.
As far as I'm concerned, though, I have been pitched under enough buses. Twid can fuck off and find some other cause to pontificate about.
Hang on there.
I weighed in on whether you had PTSD or not based on some things that you said recently, and I went on to think that perhaps that because of that you can understand Coyote flipping out. And I'm going to revisit the things that he said about you and reassess. Because I'm also still your friend, even though you seem to be willing to terminate that friendship.
As far as me throwing you under the bus, you may also recall a few pages back that I directly said I can't get onboard with Coyote's animosity toward you. That apparently makes me an attention-whoring shitweasel. Well, the fact that you feel so strongly about that makes me think that I should go back and see what there is to see. Maybe I missed something. Maybe I didn't. I'll have to make that determination over the next few days.
Whatever. Report your findings to the relevant department.

The department in question is you, since it's our friendship on the line here.
The Department of Roger Department is known for its inefficiency and apathy. Reports are routinely circular-filed or rerouted to hapless bureaucrats in other departments who complain bitterly about being saddled with the DoRD's workload, but the department head is too busy making people "REALLY PISSED OFF" by not docilely taking shit off of a crazy person to respond to the complaints of these other departments.
In short, when you have judged my behavior and my own, and decided whether or not I had grounds to be offended or not, I don't want to fucking hear about it.
You publicly lectured me for daring to not take shit off a lunatic. I don't see why I should fucking care what your final determination is.

Listen, Stella, I get. You dont like me.
That is just dandy with me. If you would prefer I avoid you I can do that.
But please quit talking to me, I can.promise I will do the same for you.
I was perfectly OK with you until you took it upon yourself to twist something I said into something else entirely.
So that is a no?
Just a heads-up; you are embarrassing yourself.
Because I dont want stella to talk to me? I can live with that. That is a pretty broad statement. Are you.embarassed for me? Are all of you embrassed for me?
As for the rest, fine, I wont argue with you guys about this. It is a difference of opinion I can also live with.
You are behaving very childishly regarding Stella and her comment about Charley's hardships. It's completely plain that you took it very differently than she intended it, but you are digging your heels in AND engaging in a "you shut up first" pissing match, which really doesn't reflect well on either of you. But you are specifically in the wrong regarding her comment, and are insisting that she meant what YOU think she meant, and ignoring not only her clarification but also everyone else who has said that wasn't how they read it.

I apologize. I still don't like what went down with Coyote. But if you feel that strongly, I should, in fact, understand why more before I comment on it.

Off to bed, to dream up further ways to be vile & unreasonable.

As for me and whomever I dont want to talk to here at he good ole pd, that is your opinion, Nigel, but it is my childish business.
Twid, I'll give you a piece of advice that might be handy in the future. Don't publicly put yourself in between two people who have had a falling-out, especially if you're friends with both of them. Trying to make peace between two people who have their own reasons for feeling animosity toward each other is one of the most condescending and invalidating things you can do; it doesn't make you look like a peacemaker, it makes you look like a self-absorbed prick who has to make everything about themselves, and it's a great way to lose friends.

Your "difference of opinion" regarding what Stella said about Charley seems to be... unless I am misreading you completely... that you are insistent that she meant her comment about his medical problems maliciously, when she herself says that she meant it charitably, and two other people, myself included, also say that they read it as being intended charitably. You are, apparently, of a different opinion than Stella herself is about the intention behind her comment.
What I am having a hard time understanding is what makes you feel you have the authority to have a different opinion about her intention, in contradiction of what she says it was.

I was perfectly OK with you until you took it upon yourself to twist something I said into something else entirely.
So that is a no?
Just a heads-up; you are embarrassing yourself.
Because I dont want stella to talk to me? I can live with that. That is a pretty broad statement. Are you.embarassed for me? Are all of you embrassed for me?
As for the rest, fine, I wont argue with you guys about this. It is a difference of opinion I can also live with.
And I'd like to also say that you don't GET a difference of opinion regarding how I feel about Coyote calling me a piece of shit, or whatever vile things it was that he said about me in that thread. You simply don't. It's not your place and it's not Twid's place to tell me or anyone else how we are to feel about another person.
You are absolutely correct here, I agree. I never intended to say otherwise, and I apologize.
I dont think I.said that, but its been a hazy evening.
Eta: my difference of opinion has to do with Charley and this thread, not Coyote.

As for me and whomever I dont want to talk to here at he good ole pd, that is your opinion, Nigel, but it is my childish business.
There's an ignore feature.
Yeah, dont I know it.
Your "difference of opinion" regarding what Stella said about Charley seems to be... unless I am misreading you completely... that you are insistent that she meant her comment about his medical problems maliciously, when she herself says that she meant it charitably, and two other people, myself included, also say that they read it as being intended charitably. You are, apparently, of a different opinion than Stella herself is about the intention behind her comment.
What I am having a hard time understanding is what makes you feel you have the authority to have a different opinion about her intention, in contradiction of what she says it was.
What I am having a hard time understanding is why you are so keen to engage in an argument about something that wasnt.discussed fully, so that some kind of peace may hold.
You dont know what I am thinking because I have not said it, and I have not said it because I agreed to not get into a shouting match.
I even said please.
Roger, Stella, Nigel:
I am sorry for sticking my face into somewhere it did not belong. I should have said nothing about Coyote and made things worse by doing so.

I can only speak for myself and the interaction between you and I, of course, but you and I are cool.
The apology is classy, though (not being sarcastic).
I would also like to know where I stand with Nigel and Stella, but the argument seems to have been mostly between Roger and me.

Fair point. It's difficult for me to do that when I'm totally sober. I have a tendency to not express all of the thoughts involved in what I say as well, which obviously clouds what I'm thinking. But ultimately that's not important here. I shouldn't have butted in in the first place, since I was not involved.

I suspect I'm going to be a straight B student this semester, which, well, it drives me nuts.
This may be a "just me" thing as well, but take a moment to collect your entire thoughts. You have this tendency to post, then re-post clarifying the post, then a post responding to yourself about clarifying the post, and then... I don't know, because I just scroll past.
I get the idea of getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page for analysis, but there's something to be said for completeness, too.

It's a bit hard on the ego. I am expecting a B in biology as well.
At least I know I got an A in architecture. And honestly, my chemistry instructor was just brutal. No partial credit, everything was all-or-nothing. Chem 221 is known for being a weeder class, and the bottom line is that I survived it and didn't do too shabby.
Next term should be much much better. Maybe not in Biology, which is just plain fucking hard, but definitely in Chemistry.

No, that's true.
I think something, then I express it, but it's not exactly clear how I came to that thought. And then I have to go through how I came to that thought. That's an accurate assessment. It's a bad habit. I should be clear from the get go, but sometimes I have to backtrack in order to understand what I thought in the first place, if that makes sense. It's easier to understand myself that way, coming to a conclusion and then analysing it.

I'm waiting on Ochem because it's required at the 300-level.
I probably would have done better if I'd been able to start the chemistry series a term before the Bio series, but y'know, perfect worlds and all that. They only offer the first class in the Bio series twice a year and I didn't feel like postponing graduation for it.

That's the damnedest thing about the sciences. They're all inherently interrelated. You can't really prep preliminary courses. You just have to throw the student into the deep end of the pool. What is biology? It's organic chemistry + other, emergent stuff. What is chemistry? Physics! and stellar debris.... What is physics? No, seriously, what is physics...

Yes. I was thinking on the level of what the devil are those particles doing though. The quantum level is hard to understand from a superatomic perspective. It's, well, alien. We can understand it through math. I personally cannot. I don't have the skill.
For example, I can understand physics to a degree. Nucleosynthesis, for example. I understand perfectly well how hydrogen becomes helium. Or why dying stars expand. Basic astronomy is pretty easy to grasp. But when it comes to the possibilities that lead up to the Big Bang, or how multiple dimensions work, or how this universe might be a hologram, I can't even approach understanding.

I actually was posting sporadically, but fuck it, Roger and Nigel can freely post without ever having to think about me coming in and shitting their shit up again.
I don't even know what the fuck Roger is going on about me "think he was a bad guy from the start" kinda shit he is spouting.
So peace out. Everyone can pretty much reach me in other ways.

This may be a "just me" thing as well, but take a moment to collect your entire thoughts. You have this tendency to post, then re-post clarifying the post, then a post responding to yourself about clarifying the post, and then... I don't know, because I just scroll past.
I get the idea of getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page for analysis, but there's something to be said for completeness, too.
Though, I'm not exactly the poster boy of coherent thought.
No, that's true.
I think something, then I express it, but it's not exactly clear how I came to that thought. And then I have to go through how I came to that thought. That's an accurate assessment. It's a bad habit. I should be clear from the get go, but sometimes I have to backtrack in order to understand what I thought in the first place, if that makes sense. It's easier to understand myself that way, coming to a conclusion and then analysing it.

Next term should be much much better. Maybe not in Biology, which is just plain fucking hard, but definitely in Chemistry.
Biology is the most complicated chemistry there is. I feel that I would have done better if I was required to take Orgo as a preliminary class.
I'm waiting on Ochem because it's required at the 300-level.
I probably would have done better if I'd been able to start the chemistry series a term before the Bio series, but y'know, perfect worlds and all that. They only offer the first class in the Bio series twice a year and I didn't feel like postponing graduation for it.
That's the damnedest thing about the sciences. They're all inherently interrelated. You can't really prep preliminary courses. You just have to throw the student into the deep end of the pool. What is biology? It's organic chemistry + other, emergent stuff. What is chemistry? Physics! and stellar debris.... What is physics? No, seriously, what is physics...
The study of the motion of matter?
Yes. I was thinking on the level of what the devil are those particles doing though. The quantum level is hard to understand from a superatomic perspective. It's, well, alien. We can understand it through math. I personally cannot. I don't have the skill.
You just have to change your perception of "is".
Quote from: THE PHYTOPHTHORATIC HOLDER OF THE ADVANCED DEGREE on December 15, 2013, 06:57:01 AM
For example, I can understand physics to a degree. Nucleosynthesis, for example. I understand perfectly well how hydrogen becomes helium. Or why dying stars expand. Basic astronomy is pretty easy to grasp. But when it comes to the possibilities that lead up to the Big Bang, or how multiple dimensions work, or how this universe might be a hologram, I can't even approach understanding.
People study for many years to learn what they need to know to be able to understand those things.

I didn't much appreciate being woke up in the middle of the night to be told that Roger is acting like a shit again.
I actually was posting sporadically, but fuck it, Roger and Nigel can freely post without ever having to think about me coming in and shitting their shit up again.
I don't even know what the fuck Roger is going on about me "think he was a bad guy from the start" kinda shit he is spouting.
So peace out. Everyone can pretty much reach me in other ways.
You let people call you in the wee hours of the night to tattle on somebody saying things on a message board?
Also, who wakes someone up in the middle of the night to tell them that someone on a message board has posted something uncharitable about them?
"Hey, sorry to wake you, but you know that guy on the internet you told to fuck off? Well, he just lumped you in with other people who told him to fuck off".

I was inclined to just wait it out. But now that I'm apparently being considered RESPONSIBLE for his shitty behavior, I'm not feeling so forgiving. I didn't attack him, and I didn't respond in kind to his attacks. He's a mean, nasty, verbally abusive drunk, and that's not my fault. I didn't fucking do shit to him and I don't deserve the shitting on I got anyway. He can go fuck off and die and so can anyone who thinks I'm somehow at fault for "provoking" his shit.

To change the topic to something far more fun, enlightening, pleasurable, amusing, edifying and gratifying....I should have some more videos up in the next few days. At least three. I've come up with a system whereby I can upload while doing University work, since I can do virtually nothing else while my laptop uploads to the Intertubes Cat Video Repository.
Make that two videos. Just found out the mic wasn't on for one of my videos. Which is a real shame, because it shows some amazing gameplay, and was actually a guide on how to use that class.
That's annoying, because it was a really great game.
WWE came to Houston, Texas it was our first pay per view ever!
We had fun. We even wore Nostalgia t-shirts of one of our favorite wrestlers.

A miracle hath occured. Youtube has somehow managed to not keep my video in processing hell for 24 hours before allowing it to be published.
I don't know if this is because of a change in policy with regards to the automated copyright infingement detection system, a one off or something else. I just hope it continues.
Oh yeah, video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya76Jly5N1Y). We need feedback on which posterior is the superior, the Asari or the Quarian. You know, for science and stuff.
Despite my best efforts it took of three hours to fall asleep. Then i slept for three hours and couldnt sleep again. My bio final is in 90 minutes. I may come home and nap afterwards. Or i might say fuck it and see how long i last at work. Heres hoping that the noggin remains functional enough until then.

Also, sniping gameplay.
I have yet to regain my headshot skills though, which is sad. Some people can consistently get 20 headshots before 25 kills. I know, because I've played with them, and they're annoying as fuck. I can get, on average at the moment, 10 headshots by 50 kills, which is 20%. Not too bad, I suppose, though I can do better.

Re-reading the Atheists and White Supremacists thread, you seemed to get angry then, too, and again, you seemed to think that Coyote had been treated poorly by Roger and I. However, that isn't what actually happened. He blew up, you blamed us. Looking like a pattern.

I admit it, it was dumb. I was angry and not thinking straight. We all do dumb shit sometimes. It was my turn I suppose.
Re-reading the Atheists and White Supremacists thread, you seemed to get angry then, too, and again, you seemed to think that Coyote had been treated poorly by Roger and I. However, that isn't what actually happened. He blew up, you blamed us. Looking like a pattern.
Well ill have to apologize for that to then. Doubtful that its a pattern though. Its the same instance. Its just that i apparently remained angry about it. I do remember two things about it- being frustrated and also pointing out that getting mad at you for your comparison was unreasonable because you also dont believe in god.

Also, who wakes someone up in the middle of the night to tell them that someone on a message board has posted something uncharitable about them?
"Hey, sorry to wake you, but you know that guy on the internet you told to fuck off? Well, he just lumped you in with other people who told him to fuck off".

You remained angry over a course of months, while not actually bothering to reread the thread you were so angry about. This isn't the first time it's been suggested you need to go back and look at it. So basically, now you decided to crap on me for being crapped on by Coyote, because he's your friend and it must be my fault or Roger's fault he flipped out and spewed profanities all over us, right?
Your friend is a fucking nutjob. He's out of control and I've been pretty gracious about mostly not mentioning it and just putting him on ignore and keeping him there. You decided to go all dramawhore shit-stirrer, and now... what? Am I supposed to be just fine with that? You don't seem to be mad at HIM for all the shit he said to me... did you even read it? I went to the trouble of pulling it our for you so you didn't have to take the time to wade through the whole damn thread.
You know who you should be mad at? Your psychopath fucking asshole friend with an abusive mouth and a drinking problem, that's who.
But I suppose if I'd just kept my whore mouth shut instead of asking for it by expressing my opinions I wouldn't have made him do it.
Seriously, get fucked.

Everyone should do this. Everyone.
It would be like having a daily delivery of dumbass.
I want to get cards printed up that say "To consult my spiritual advisor," and then an e-mail address. And then pass them out like candy.
Yes. Very yes.
Or just my facebook page.
You're seriously ok with that?

A miracle hath occured. Youtube has somehow managed to not keep my video in processing hell for 24 hours before allowing it to be published.
I don't know if this is because of a change in policy with regards to the automated copyright infingement detection system, a one off or something else. I just hope it continues.
Oh yeah, video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya76Jly5N1Y). We need feedback on which posterior is the superior, the Asari or the Quarian. You know, for science and stuff.
Was a one off. Second video is in processing hell for the forseeable future. :sad:
Edit: I tell a lie. This one just took a little bit longer than the last. Second video is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYb_H3i29NI).

Well if that is so i hope to change that.
Binks is even MORE terrifying in a DX shirt.
Mr. McMahon CRIED after this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGfdD_VBuOk).
Thing is, I don't mind being the horrible bastard responsible for everything, but it's just sloppy thinking.
Roger is in a fight. Roger must be the responsible party.
Nigel is not in the fight. Nigel must also be at fault.
In neither case is there any evidence provided in the initial assumption to justify the conclusion. And that's not parody. Most times, that's really as far as it goes.
And there IS a small subset of people that decide that Nigel and/or me are AWFUL PEOPLE, and they have a few traits in common.
1. Blow up for any reason or no reason at all. Asking Khara what day of the week it was could accomplish this.
2. Blame Nigel and/or Roger, even if they weren't involved in the first place. This has happened to me, and it happened - in this case - to Nigel.
3. Flounce.
4. Return from flounce, say more nasty shit, flounce again.
5. Return to step 1.
People who fall into this rarely ever work their way out of it. Whatever it is that makes them crazy in the first place prevents them from getting better. Khara, Charley, Nigel, Captain Utopia, Lumber Jim, etc.

I get the definite impression that when you're alone in a room with Binks, things go all Zalgo.
Twid, I understand that it's upsetting to see a friend reduced to an incoherent spew of abusive babbling nonsense, but whatever caused that, it wasn't Nigel or Roger posting on a message board. FFS.

No, I don't think you do. What you did was pick sides in a fight that you didn't understand. That's not particularly offensive, in hindsight, but it isn't wise.

Thing is, I don't mind being the horrible bastard responsible for everything, but it's just sloppy thinking.
Roger is in a fight. Roger must be the responsible party.
Nigel is not in the fight. Nigel must also be at fault.
In neither case is there any evidence provided in the initial assumption to justify the conclusion. And that's not parody. Most times, that's really as far as it goes.
And there IS a small subset of people that decide that Nigel and/or me are AWFUL PEOPLE, and they have a few traits in common.
1. Blow up for any reason or no reason at all. Asking Khara what day of the week it was could accomplish this.
2. Blame Nigel and/or Roger, even if they weren't involved in the first place. This has happened to me, and it happened - in this case - to Nigel.
3. Flounce.
4. Return from flounce, say more nasty shit, flounce again.
5. Return to step 1.
People who fall into this rarely ever work their way out of it. Whatever it is that makes them crazy in the first place prevents them from getting better. Khara, Charley, Nigel, Captain Utopia, Lumber Jim, etc.
Well. If im starting to fall into this pattern i apologize to both of you.
No, I don't think you do. What you did was pick sides in a fight that you didn't understand. That's not particularly offensive, in hindsight, but it isn't wise.
Actually i do. As nigel said it was none of my business to begin with even if i did fully understand it. She was right and i apologize for that angle. If i still needed to get involved i should have pmed you about it instead of getting mad at you right there so i apologize for that as well. And really i should apologize to coyote for dragging him back into it because thats certainly not helping him any either.
Something's bothering Alty, and something about Nigel's thread seemed to set him off.
Note the two are not substantially related. Nigel did not set him off, and her thread is not to "blame". I get the feeling anything that looked at him sideways would have done it; it's just that Nigel's 'short, sharp shock' post was the one that happened to be there at the time.
Y'know, with the notable exceptions of Cain and Bear, I think just about everyone ITT has sounded like a cassowary receiving a steam-pipe enema for the last 4 or 5 pages days.
And I'm not excluding myself from that. I have been a little...touchy lately. But I do try to have the good grace to not bring it here. but you fuckers are making it tough.
I dunno, I've often thought self-promotion and whining about Youtube, if it were to ever have a sound, would sound like like a cassowary receiving a steam-pipe enema.
But only a small one.

Point. Correlation and causation.

Fixed that for you. Because the thing is, it's an almost entirely one-sided fight that makes no sense anywhere outside of Coyote's head. Which is another reason I am not very happy about the assumption that somehow I
MADE IT HAPPEN. I didn't snap whatever snapped in Coyote's head; I didn't
make him crazy. Whatever happened there happened without a whole lot of input from me, and that's why I just put him on ignore. It isn't, actually, my fight, and I'm pretty pissed, after a long slow simmer, that Twid keeps bringing it up as if I'm supposed to do something different to make it better.
I CANNOT FIX YOUR FRIEND'S CRAZY, TWID. I DIDN'T DO IT AND I CAN'T FIX IT, AND YOU'RE A FUCKING ASSHOLE FOR TRYING TO MAKE ME OUT TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN HIS CRAZY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR.
WTF happened?? Nobody knows! Therefore, blame Nigel and Roger! :lol: Thanks, Twid. Thanks a ton.

Gee, yeah, thanks. Because obviously it makes perfect sense that if somebody's mad at me for something I didn't do, I am equally at fault.

No no, I have no troubles. I made a couple mistakes ITT, but I am cool.
I think I meant Coyote.

You know what's funny? I haven't been touchy lately. I've been pretty much sanguine as a clear lake in summer. But I reached the end of my rope with the "I don't like what happened with Coyote, it's not fair how you guys are treating him" jabbing, and it was really the icing on the cake that he texted Coyote in the middle of the night for no apparent purpose than to stir up bad feelings and drama.

If we seriously get a dump of snow tomorrow as predicted, there's a good chance my last final will be postponed, which means that I have to reschedule my flights to take it, or miss it completely.

If we seriously get a dump of snow tomorrow as predicted, there's a good chance my last final will be postponed, which means that I have to reschedule my flights to take it, or miss it completely. I am not completely and totally pissed off at everything in world, and wish the snow-lovers who wished for this shit a painful, burning, heat strokity death this summer.
That is all.

Ready to fucking make heads roll. Delayed flights is one thing, fucking with the completion of my degree is another.
I keep telling You People, sea level isn't safe for humans.
I am beginning to see the error in my ways.

Quote(AP) - Fox News was battling a potential public relations nightmare this weekend after on air personality Megyn Kelly commented that Samuel L. Jackson is white.
"It's time the liberal media stops pretending that Samuel L. Jackson is black," Kelly said. "He is well spoken. He is affluent. He is successful in his career. Clearly Mr. Jackson is, like all god fearing real Americans, white."
Jackon's attorneys quickly demanded that Fox News retract the statement and take action against Kelly.
"Get that (slang word) woman off your (slang word) station," Jackson himself said in a prepared statement. "I have been called many terrible things in my time by nobody has ever gone so low as to accuse me of being white. Like Jesus, I stand by my skin color and my culture."
Fox News representatives said they would not comment on the issue until they had time to do detailed research into Jackson's racial background.
FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S BELIEVABLE.

Nah, dude, I'm just not sure it's clear that "I'll get back to you when I have more information" while a pretty bipedal response... when delivered too late reads like "You're an asshole until further notice. I'm going to do some research and get back to you on whether or not you're still an asshole, but keep in mind that you're an asshole until then."

That's fair. At this point I'm more interested in figuring out what the hell happened. I have an inkling of why I was pissed off at the whole thing, but I want to see specifically how this whole incident fits into it.

Right, but I think it's important to understand that when this is your stated position, you're clearly signalling that your focus is on yourself.
If I felt attacked by you and then read you explaining that
you were more interested in why
you were pissed off, it would be pretty easy to read "than I am in finding out how I hurt Paes" at the end of that.

Fair, but unless I am mistaken, I have already apologized for stirring up shit. This is what I'm doing now because reading the quotes that Nigel provided in the for Twid thread are over the top.
Maybe I'm not expressing my thoughts clearly, because now I feel like I'm trying to get at something that I can't put together into a sentence, which is more reason for me to handle this later.

Yeah, I know. When Coyote does it, he's a "solid dude". When Nigel or I respond, we're making it really tough on you.

They refurbish old buildings for housing there??? Here, in one the most crowded countries in the world we have a constant of 10-15% empty officebuildings here and a pressing shortage of affordable lvingspace.
I don't know about America, but it's practically a business model of its own in the UK. We're not quite as densely populated as you guys, but zoning laws certainly affect the available housing land, putting prices at a significant premium and making new construction sites difficult ventures.

Yes indeed. The most obvious example I can think of would be London's Docklands. Previously industrial area now home to some very expensive flats and such. That said, pretty much every city I can think of has had something similar done to it as well, scale varies.
This isn't done as much to provide affordable living space (some of these places are stupidly expensive) as to make serious cash. Affordable housing requirements (Section 106 for you cool kids) are usually bypassed by payment direct to local authorities making sure no nurses or teachers shit up the area.
We need to do something about these dumb winter storm names.

Boo! What a gorgeous building!
I have a customer who owes me $275 for this work I completed for him. Last week, he said he'd pay as soon as he saw pictures. Fair enough, I get it. Sent pictures...haven't heard anything since. This is after I told him I was leaving on the 18th for Florida, and I would not be schlepping a silk and linen set 1300 miles to ship so he could get it in time for Christmas. I hate people.

No, they pissed me off, so I resorted to froth and spittle. They'll all be wrecks by this time Friday.
I'll bet on the following:
You shut down for about 2 weeks on Friday.
You will not be allowed to leave prior to normal times.
An effigy of you will be burnt in the car park.
Anything less and quite frankly I'll be disappointed.

It's a horribly toxic site, the second worst Superfund site in the area. Which is actually saying kind of a lot, because one of Portland's little-known secrets is that it's horribly polluted.
HOWEVER, THAT'S NO EXCUSE.

Oh hell yes, we do. We have urban growth boundaries here, and that means that if there's a way to shoehorn a bathroom into it, we'll convert it to living space.
Probably not a good idea with that PARTICULAR industrial building, I doubt anyone should live there, but a lot of the old industrial buildings and warehouses have been converted to lofts.

I'll bet on the following:
You shut down for about 2 weeks on Friday.
You will not be allowed to leave prior to normal times.
An effigy of you will be burnt in the car park.
Anything less and quite frankly I'll be disappointed.
Well, I've just been told that they are considering disciplinary action for one of my guys, because the engineer told him fucked up shit.
We all just got really dumb. Really, really dumb.
Disciplinary action for him, because someone else gave him bad information? That makes no sense. :(
Neither does the fact that Mike decided to leave a machine down over the weekend mean that I am somehow to blame. Because he was in charge of the plant and decided not to have us fix it.
But I am, as are my guys.
This happens to every maintenance shop, everywhere, ever. So now we have to play the stupid game for a while.
That is a giant load of crap. I hope that place catches on fire after you leave it.
Why wait? As of this morning, NOTHING gets down without ALL the paperwork being straight. NOTHING. Toilet's flooding the office building? I need a work order. I'll wait.
:lulz:
That's actually happening, by the way.
And the rules CLEARLY state that we need a work order AND a permit before performing any maintenance activities.
Good. FUCK those guys.
Jim just called me on my landline, and asked why I was being a dick, and can I please get stuff fixed.
"Are you asking me to break procedure, Jim?"
All land line calls are of course taped, per company procedure.
Fuck him, fuck them, and fuck this place.

Man, I hate that shit. You follow your fucking chain of command and carry out the orders you are given and you are shit on for not knowing better, just like you'd have been shit on for bucking the chain of command and/or not following orders. Fuck those guys.
They wanna borrow a hammer? Gee whiz, I'm not sure what exactly a hammer is let alone where we keep 'em. Everything is just so topsy-turvy down here, I mean hell, we can't even do XX right, right?
Ass bags.
Oh, no. They can borrow a hammer. There's a form for that. No shit.
Well I hope the signature isn't smudged and the text isn't blurry or anything. I'd hate for them to have to go get another one because this one might not be up to snuff. Wait, don't you need that in triplicate?

You are a cruel man, indeed.
I woke up full of rage, hate, and resentment, as is fairly typical this time of year when I have to do a bunch of COMPLETELY POINTLESS BULLSHIT like buy a fucking dead tree and stick it in my living room, and then somehow scrape together enough cash to buy the children some kind of non-shitty presents to put under it.
STUPIDEST FUCKING TRADITION EVER. FFS.
Oh, and then of course I didn't want to be the one asshole in my mom group to not do Secret Santa, so I spent money I don't have to buy some nice bullshit and now I have to spend more money I don't have to ship it.

They might just be too terrified to do that, Roger. I mean, once you're gone, the force of your vindaloo-inspired offerings to the porcelain gods will no longer hold them in appeasement. Shit will go wrong everywhere. Always. I think on some primitive level they understand this. Like . . . the part of their brain that tells them a really big predator is ticking their neck-hair with his fetid breath . . . that part should be kicking in any time now.
Don't hold out for just an apology to your man. Hold out for a dozen roses and lunch for each of you.

TV internet 'tradition' says so. It is a fucking stupid thing. The designation of ONE SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR when THIS ONE THING should happen. Along with all these bizarre now mostly meaningless symbols being slathered all over everything. The rest of the year - fuck everyone.
I am back. It has been a stupid and annoying few weeks during which the internet/network connection on my computer at work was not working, causing me to use the back-up computer which is horribly slow by midday and has a hard time doing more than one thing at once. So I have not been around. And while, hanging out on PD is not part of my job description, I need to be connected to the network to print and scan, the former being something I do all day. And frequently research stuff online too. And all my files are on this computer. So it's been a lot of going back and forth and slooowww, and while I was still able to get my work done, it was a lot less efficiently, which is frustrating, especially when it's relatively out of my control. But, back in business for now.
First world problems and all that.
The point of the story being, hello everyone.

My favorite part of this is, we're all broke-ass single moms, and the idea is that we all "deserve something nice" at this time of year, because we all do so much for other people. The part where the logic breaks down is that if I wasn't spending $15 plus $6 shipping to send something nice to
someone else, I would have $21 to spend on something nice
for myself. I mean, I feel like it would have made more sense to just buy everyone a goddamn Amazon gift card or some shit.

Yeah, that's how a group of friends and I are working it. We each buy ourselves one yarn thing, one candy thing, and one something extra thing. And then share pics of our things and why/what we picked. Everyone is much happier with this sort of swap, this year.

That is a VERY good idea.
I could have used that $21 to get myself something I would really have appreciated, like a flu shot.
I will probably end up receiving something absolutely twatty like bath salts and lipgloss.

Stocking stuffer for the kid who ate your pizza. Spend the money you save on buying one more present on another pizza for yourself.
Dead trees are insanely expensive. I went down to the local supermarket (admittedly, a more upscale business than, say, Wal-Mart) and it was 90 dollars for a dead tree.
Good thing I invested in a fake plastic one a few years back. Well, from a money POV anyway. The cats see it as some kind of alien interloper, however, and keep attacking it, in a futile effort to climb to the summit and dethrone the star, which is clearly controlling the whole operation. This effort is at least partly futile because the cats get half way up the tree and then start attacking each other.
Basically I spend an hour of my day locking the cats in the kitchen and repairing the savaged plastic tree.
That seems like a rather fitting analogy for the entire season.
It is. I'm basically doing the same thing by not telling anyone what I want for Xmas. Because, truth is, I don't really want anything.
People don't seem to get that this is the case, however, and it's driving them crazy.
Parents put the vacuum by the tree and pop it on when the kitten starts acting like an asshole near it. So far it's working.

I've taken that stance for years. Trust me, people will never get it. You will end up with shit you just throw away though. I suggest storage as a good go to. Can never have too many spare external HDD. Or think shit you always need to replace, such as headphones.
I would like a hobo santa suit for Christmas. So every year on he 24th I can get loaded, fill a bag with either cheap garbage, actual.garbage, or vodka shooters and see what happens.
Or a Krampus suit.

In other news, right after I talked to my guys about not doing SHIT without paperwork, Mikey violates confined space entry permitting procedure.

You kinda gotta suspend him because ALL RULES ALL THE TIME but it would suck to fire him for getting caught in the crossfire of interdepartmental warfare.
Not to mention that shit is dangerous as fuck and he probably could have y'know, killed someone.

It was never my favorite, but really, it's been OVER 22 YEARS since I declared my official hatred of it. And they were why. They have so many fucking RULES around what "has to happen" for Christmas and after I got married my mom had an insane tantrum because I wanted to spend Christmas morning with my husband and then come over after breakfast. She actually CRIED. And had my sister call me to guilt trip me. I was like, "Look, I work retail, I'm exhausted, this is the one day this week I get to sleep in and spend some time just having a calm morning with my husband, you guys go ahead and have a lovely breakfast and I'll see you around 10, in plenty of time to start preparing for dinner" and it was like I'd fucking slaughtered a million Jewish babies.

Yeeeaaaah. I am familiar with this scenario as well.
I don't mind presents, or celebrating Christmas. I just literally cannot think of anything I want, desire or need.
Well, except a faster internet connection, which isn't happening, and a good desk/chair, which I don't have space for.
People get offended when I say that I would be happy with a gift card or straight up cash.
If I were to ask for an item that costs 50 bucks, their eyes twinkle and they run off to buy. But suggest they just get me a gift card for the same amount it's a fricken crime and I'm being greedy.
I've also taken to asking people to donate to various charities in my name.
I usually try to find charities that has a potential of making them uncomfortable. For example, my evangelical Aunt can make as many donations as she wants to the AIDS action committee. or PFLAG.

And I'm not excluding myself from that. I have been a little...touchy lately. But I do try to have the good grace to not bring it here. but you fuckers are making it tough.
Yeah, I know. When Coyote does it, he's a "solid dude". When Nigel or I respond, we're making it really tough on you.
But that's because we're chopped liver.
No, actually his shitty little interjection made me rethink my opinion. But there's not much point in responding to someone who only seems interested in popping in to tell everyone what an asshole they are so I didn't bother.
I gotta say though, this thing where people say dumb/insulting/unfortunate shit and you make it all about you for the next 3 days gets a little old. People do the same shit to me every day of my life but I just chalk it up to the unfortunate course of daily events and get on with things. I mean, we've now spent how much time examining the particulars of some stupid little spat on the internet?
Fine, I'll break it down so everyone can stop whinging (love that word, Brits) about it.
ROGER: You're a dick. You're the right KIND of dick, and for the right reasons, but primates being what they are not everybody appreciates it especially when they find themselves in the crosshairs. To them I say: C'est la vie, assholes. To you I say: It's a noble calling but you gotta be able to shrug off the fallout.
COYOTE: Dude, seriously, what is your fucking problem? You are NOT acting like a biped about this. Worse, you seem intent on being
unwilling to even consider acting like a biped, as though it ennobles you to screech and dig your heels in when you clearly misunderstood the very thing you decided to get so pissed off about.
NIGEL: You're a dick. You're the right KIND of dick, and for the right reasons....wait, I think we've already covered this elsewhere. I am absolutely NOT defending anybody's abusive behavior but that doesn't preclude me from pointing out that if you frequently use "aggressively inflammatory" as a rhetorical tactic it makes it difficult for most people to see past their emotional response to the meat of your message.
TWID: Dude, I can't even begin to pretend there would ever be a good reason to text/PM/whatever one person to tell them that another person was talking about them on a message board. That's some serious 5th grade shit there, and you're better than that. Knock that shit off. It's nonya anyway.
STELLA: I really don't see where you had any business sticking your nose in any of it either. And wow, that shit you said to Alty was pretty fucked-up.
ALTY: Y'know, I've spent a fair amount of my life in an isolated mostly-frozen wilderness full of drunks and fuck-ups and I had to get the fuck out and I'm pretty sure my frozen drunken wilderness was a goddamn utopian metropolis compared to yours. Offering a man advice on a situation that involves family ties is a dumb thing to do, but I'm a dumb man and I offer it with the best of intentions: Get the fuck OUT of there, man. If you're constantly miserable your kid will pick up on that and you won't be doing him any favors in the long run.
ECH: It's 1pm on your day off. Get off the goddamn internet and go outside you lazy fuck.
Ok, I can see where you're coming from.
You right kind of dick, you.
I have it on reliable authority that I am the wrong kind of dick, and my chromosomes are all fucking squishy.

Not the words, no. But you basically said that everyone was screeching, and then commented on how you've been touchy, too. Implying that the people who were upset were just being touchy.
Funny thing is, I wasn't touchy at all until the white-knighting started because Roger dared to unfairly lump a stand-up solid guy - who just happens to be an incoherent abusive drunk trainwreck who has repeatedly told both Roger and I to go fuck ourselves - in with other people who have told Roger and I to go fuck ourselves.
So yeah.
SORRY ABOUT BEING A TOUCHY, SCREECHING CASSOWARY, next time I'll just smile sweetly and say OK when someone tells me I'm being an unfair jerk for referring to another person's telling me to go fuck myself.
Sorry, reading BACKWARDS isn't always the most effective way of parsing a thread.
I see your point.
I would also like to say that I made an attempt to move this conversation out of Open Bar and in fact made another thread for it so it would stop shitting this thread up, but it didn't work.
And keep in mind, I wasn't attaching any value judgment to the idea of being touchy. Usually if I'm touchy there's a good reason, and I tend to assume the same holds true for other people.

Material handler just went batshit on "K", and drove through building H knocking over shaker screens, tables, and trying to squish Troy.
Police & ambulance are here. Guy DOES NOT GIVE A FUUUUUUUCK!
Everything is going all Tucson on me.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Jesus fuck, is everyone okay?
Troy is a muscle-bound freak, but he moves like a cobra. He's fine.
A few dozen grand worth of equipment, not so much.
So uuuuuhhhhh
What happened to make materials handler guy snap?
According to him, the demons in his head told him to do lots and lots of K in the bathroom.
Yeah, well. Maybe if you hadn't KILLED ALL THE ANGELS WITH YOUR DAMN RADIO.
ECH, ET AL:
I made a rather long post about why I am here and not anywhere else, ATM. It is in LIT. Chaotic.

I woke up full of rage, hate, and resentment, as is fairly typical this time of year when I have to do a bunch of COMPLETELY POINTLESS BULLSHIT like buy a fucking dead tree and stick it in my living room, and then somehow scrape together enough cash to buy the children some kind of non-shitty presents to put under it.
STUPIDEST FUCKING TRADITION EVER. FFS.
Oh, and then of course I didn't want to be the one asshole in my mom group to not do Secret Santa, so I spent money I don't have to buy some nice bullshit and now I have to spend more money I don't have to ship it.
Ah yes. The money thing. Where everyone deserves your cash in the form for MORE STUFF because TV internet 'tradition' says so. It is a fucking stupid thing. The designation of ONE SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR when THIS ONE THING should happen. Along with all these bizarre now mostly meaningless symbols being slathered all over everything. The rest of the year - fuck everyone.
Actual tradition is probably more along the lines of clothespin dolls and fruit.

I'm guessing they'll probably just wreck it. After 50 years of abandonment, salvage would be a matter of picking through the disaster that the interior is for scraps that are still usable. Not that there aren't treasures, just that themotivation to find them might not be strong enough.

I ate shit on the sidewalk on the way home, because some caring neighbor decided to not melt their ice before we got an inch of fresh powder. My Yaktrax didn't stand a chance.
I was about ready to knock on the door to bitch, but then I saw it was one of our perpetually "under construction" homes, which is a loophole to dodge taxes in the city.

Dangerous: Every sneeze launches snot-ice javelins. Every cough is a mucus buckshot. In one park a warmer short gust of wind caused people to sweat for a second and a split second later recreated a Gorgon's Garden.
This sounds familiar to the illness I had in the start of November. It was briefer than the flu, and somewhat less nasty, but only barely.

I seriously need to get a flu shot today.
It might not save me from that particular one, but it ups my odds in general.
I always get sick the years I get a flu shot. The years I don't, I'm fine. It is weird and I don't know why. So I don't get the shots. This apparently makes me a bastard.
I've never had one. About once every fifteen years, I get something that might be flu or might just be a really nasty cold. Doesn't really justify the hassle and privation involved in getting a shot.

I've never had one. When my kids were small it wasn't common for everyone to get them, because the really nasty new strains of transgenic flu we have now hadn't developed. Those are the ones the shots are designed to protect against; the idea is to prevent pandemic flu, the ones that meet certain criteria both for contagion and for severity, not to prevent people from getting some shitty but not particularly dangerous bug.
I don't work with sick people, children, or the public, so there's no really compelling reason for me to get one except that my best friend just had a baby. The current flu shot protects against three highly contagious strains that have a high mortality rate for babies, so...
Also, it isn't much of a hassle or a privation anymore. You go to the grocery store, hand the pharmacist $25, and they give you a shot and a coupon for a latte. At least that's how it works here.
And CPD, you are forgiven because you're young, but do please read the link LMNO posted. Herd immunity is important because it prevents disease from spreading to those who are most vulnerable, such as newborns.
Feedlot conditions have created a perfect breeding ground for some incredibly nasty flu strains in the last few years. These are not "sick in bed for a week" flus, these are strains that are killing young healthy people by sending their immune systems into overdrive. Good idea to get vaccinated if you deal with the public.
Incidentally, I apologize if that sounded elitist and snarky. Having a bad day, but that's no reason to be shitty to you.

I'm 32. I understand how mass immunization works; farmer, etc. I just never heard the term 'herd immunity' applied to people. Community immunity yeah. I thought LMNO was making a dig.
I spend two weeks with a migraine and vomiting my guts up every time I get a flu shot, so I stopped getting them because I can't afford to miss two straight weeks of work.
I like the melifluous sound of "community immunity". I might have to start using that.
And you're exactly the person who that sort of thing benefits, so you obviously know what you're talking about.

Yeah, no, I dig. My brain just isn't making the right connections today, apparently. I grew up on a farm and all that, I saw what happened when my uncle skipped vaccinations. In this conversation I just went from thinking about the lectures I get from people now, mostly semi-city folk and your mention of 'herd' and it skipped the track. Sorry about that.

Is this something other than this year's flu, or did you not get your shots?
I got my shots. This is the upper respiratory tract thingie going around.
Has all the hallmarks of a flu, walked right though the vaccine, kicked my ass, took my lunch. Everyone here seems to be getting it,whether or not they had the shot.
Oh, I got that in October. That shit's no fun. I only beat it by having a vaporizer in the bedroom at night.

Seriously? You've never heard of that? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity) It's pretty much how mass vaccinations work.
Community immunity, yes. I guess even farmers don't like to think of themselves as a herd, though. Weird.
Funny, is that the new PC term for herd immunity?

Also, it isn't much of a hassle or a privation anymore. You go to the grocery store, hand the pharmacist $25, and they give you a shot and a coupon for a latte. At least that's how it works here.
And CPD, you are forgiven because you're young, but do please read the link LMNO posted. Herd immunity is important because it prevents disease from spreading to those who are most vulnerable, such as newborns.
Feedlot conditions have created a perfect breeding ground for some incredibly nasty flu strains in the last few years. These are not "sick in bed for a week" flus, these are strains that are killing young healthy people by sending their immune systems into overdrive. Good idea to get vaccinated if you deal with the public.
I'm 32. I understand how mass immunization works; farmer, etc. I just never heard the term 'herd immunity' applied to people. Community immunity yeah. I thought LMNO was making a dig.
I spend two weeks with a migraine and vomiting my guts up every time I get a flu shot, so I stopped getting them because I can't afford to miss two straight weeks of work.
32 isn't as young as I thought you are, but it's pretty young from here. :lol: Old enough though that I'm surprised you haven't heard the term herd immunity since it's the one most often used academically and in disease prevention, but hey, different communities, different strokes.
No need to be defensive; if you're a person who can't deal with immunizations, you'e exactly the person herd immunity protects.

The shot only protects against the three most virulent strains. You're still wide open to everything else.
Semester officially over for me.
Math final was rough. The info seemed to just drop out of my head at the moment I got the exam. I think I figured out what was going on though and only left one question unanswered (we get partial credit for the work shown).
Got email from biology professor. 97 on the final, B+ for the course. He's looking forward to having me again for Genetics.
Went home to my family for Christmas break, the rest of the family is away so now I'm just spending my days reading and watching movies.
Also, my girlfriend is depressed and is isolating herself from me, and I'm really unsure how to deal with it.

So, apparently, The Desolation of Smaug would be better named The Desolation of Peter Jackson's Imagination. I had worried about a certain amount of creeping subplots designed to remind us Lord of the Rings exists...and it all just seems so unnecessary. The Hobbit was a perfectly good story, which would make a nice double film. Extending it into a trilogy requires a large amount of filler content which was never there in the first place and, well, Jackson is no Tolkein.
Finally had the first call from family in Australia about our grandmother.
Only took them, oh, a month to show any concern whatsoever and I strongly suspect that has more to do with inheritance than actually caring about her well being at all. Since they've shown in the past that her well being is definitely not a top concern, and all that.
Luckily for them that they didn't call me, because they disgust me to the point where I just wouldn't reply at all.

That sucks. Family can really fuck up a family.
Yeah. I've had four years to get used to the fact they're shitburgers, so I'm not too surprised by this. Just confirms what I already knew.
To be honest, it's best I have as little to do with them as possible. Because otherwise I'd be tempted to do things that would probably land me in a jail cell, and I'm too pretty to go to prison.
Fuck the holidays and fuck depression.
Million things that I need to be doing and I just want to curl up under a blanket and disappear. Also the sharp things are looking very interesting again. Also fire.

So I just found out that the new hipster church on the corner of my street, which has been painted a lovely dark brown with red doors and is being beautifully renovated, is part of that shitty Mars Hill cult that started in Seattle. It is not only not something I can occasionally attend for funzies and community-building, it's something terrifying and likely to bring protesters to my street.
Why can't anything ever just be normal.
The founder, Mark Driscoll, is almost certainly a sociopath. His videos are interesting; he gives me the creeps bigtime. He's plainly lying his ass off, with stories about how he can literally "see" things that have happened to other people in the past that are SO OBVIOUSLY MADE-UP it's ridiculous.
To join his church you have to sign a fucking contract. No shit. Weirdest shit ever. And, for services, all the churches just play a podcast of him on big screens. You guys have got to check it out.
Don't die, Roger!

The founder, Mark Driscoll, is almost certainly a sociopath. His videos are interesting; he gives me the creeps bigtime. He's plainly lying his ass off, with stories about how he can literally "see" things that have happened to other people in the past that are SO OBVIOUSLY MADE-UP it's ridiculous.
To join his church you have to sign a fucking contract. No shit. Weirdest shit ever. And, for services, all the churches just play a podcast of him on big screens. You guys have got to check it out.
A contract? Shit.

So I just found out that the new hipster church on the corner of my street, which has been painted a lovely dark brown with red doors and is being beautifully renovated, is part of that shitty Mars Hill cult that started in Seattle. It is not only not something I can occasionally attend for funzies and community-building, it's something terrifying and likely to bring protesters to my street.
Why can't anything ever just be normal.
Sounds like you need some CHURCHIFYING.

All religions go through that phase, I think. The thing is mainstream Christianity has largely outgrown that. Even with claims of Papal infallibility, you have liberal Catholics who divorce, have premarital sex, approve of same-sex marriage and abortion (man it really is largely about gender and reproduction, isn't it? Catholics are liberal as fuck otherwise), and are technically at odds with Rome and should be excommunicated (consider the implication of the word- unable to take communion), but still participate in Mass, still believe. I suspect it is similar for Orthodox or mainline Protestant. These guys want you to admit making out with a girlfriend/boyfriend publicly as a sin. And sign contracts. That sounds incredibly draconian, even in the context of Christianity found in the Roman Empire.

Oh, he's an insane control freak. Like I said, Christianity already went through this phase.
Actually, I don't really see growing pains being possible for a religion in modern society. Our underlying understanding of the universe and society mitigates that.

"Prophets" always pop up when some theocrat sees some sort of societal ill that needs to be purged.
And it's always linked to some perceived decadence and rampant immorality. Judaeochristian religion has historically been patriarchal and authoritarian. That's a bit of cultural baggage, and that still exists. However, it also runs contrary to modern values. Which of course causes strange things to happen. I've seen people from Fox News chew out the Phelps family, on religious grounds. There's something fundamentally abhorrent about groups like that.

That, interestingly is not an out of the question idea. Catholics and Orthodox would most certainly see him as a heretic and someone who for either reasons of insanity or by design, a deceiver.
He's scary. His church has a concept they call "sinning through questioning".
Wow. It's like an endgame for cult behavior. :lulz:
Yeah, they're HORRIBLE. And they have over 5000 members. :eek:
I predict an implosion within the next 5 years. Possibly a kiddie-diddling scandal.
That, a mass suicide, or a Waco-style standoff and subsequent bigass fire.

I particularly like "Discernment", the power for Mark Driscoll to SEE YOUR SIN.
God made me psychic so I can watch you in a brain porn.
He's a cold reader. He doesn't believe his own shit.
That can be good or bad.
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
The interesting thing about his "Discernment" is that, from what I've watched, I've never seen anyone back him up and said, "Yeah, he nailed it." He's talking about some nebulous hypothetical sinner. And that other pastors may or may not have the gift of Discernment. It's much along the lines of me saying "I did a tarot reading for this guy once, and I was able to tell that he did this incredibly specific thing and he told me I was dead on. He's not here today, btw, you'll just have to take my word for it."

QuoteThe letter, posted on Turner's site, included instructions on how to ostracize Andrew; having a meal or going to a concert with him were deemed "not permissible." The document included examples of how to decline the ex-member's attempts to reach out: "Andrew, I would enjoy time with you but I can't because you're under church discipline. You can join me if we can talk about your refusal to listen to God and the church."
That's textbook disconnection/shunning form letters, right there. Somebody did his homework before he started this cult.

All religions go through that phase, I think.
Yeah, especially the ones in Guyana.
Or the ones in Japan that lead to people gassing subways or people from Middle Eastern countries blowing up. Those tend to be fringe though. They still pop up but they are all unorthodox.
And this guy is nondemoninational. Meaning he has no "higher authority" in his megachurch, which is more or less his personal regime.
And the Portland one just has videos of him during the service.
So, are you thinking he's just going through some growing pains, or maybe he's an insane control freak?
Yeah I'm gonna go with "megalomaniac control freak".
ALL the churches just play videos of him, they don't have real preachers. It is not permitted within the Church to criticize the Great Leader. WEIRD AS FUCK.

Classic cult symptoms.
List (I know you know this shit, but I reserve the right to be a pedantic assbasket).
QuoteThe group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.
The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).
The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).
The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.
Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

In a normal church, the pastor or priest, while interpreting scripture through a generally agreed upon lens, can still interpret. I've mentioned it before but when I went to go visit my Lutheran friends in the midwest (they went to grad school here and both became pastors themselves), we visited the husband's family in Indiana, and his father is a pastor. The part of scripture that was being sermonized was about false gods. I was, at the time, an Irish polytheist, a fact known to Ed's dad. Matter of fact, I was known as Kevin the Pagan. The sermon was about worshipping money, a false god. I appreciated the fact, and it was a sermon I was 100% in agreement with.

EVERYONE THOUGHT PENICILLIN WAS GREAT AND WHAT DID WE GET FOR IT? MRSA!
Was going to record more gameplay last night. Instead, I landed in the lobby of a complete noob, who was also very chatty, and I spent about five hours carrying him through Gold and Platinum matches, earning him more money in that time than he has apparently ever had.
He was the archetypal noob, but he communicated and was a good sport, and in those situations, I don't mind helping. Although the Platinum games were a bit rough...maybe I should have recorded that, as Round 3 was a complete clusterfuck, but my NEVER GIVE IN and THIS IS SPARTA instincts kicked in, and I refused to let some dumb AI beat me. Just as proof that even if things are going badly, you can turn it around and still win.
I will record some platinum at some point, just so you can see the kind of ridiculous boss spam it consists of.
Cain, the white-hatted headshotter!
And regarding the Driscoll thing: It's usually the case that if the group has that strict a code regarding members' sexuality (no kissing before marriage, et al), you know the guy in charge is putting his dick into everything.
I have spent over 6 hours trying to set up an answermachine system.
It has now been established that this is in fact, impossible until the 23rd.

"Gotta get the young people!" Christian rock, etc.
When I was a little kid, we went to the coast and I remember some hippie types coming up to talk to me and my dad - which I thought was cool at first until they started a bunch of crazy talk about Jesus. We finally got rid of them and they left us a bunch of pamphlets. Turned out they were Children of God evangelicals - I had no idea HOW creepy that was until the internet happened and I looked it up.

My friend Dave is an Episcopalian minister, and he's really cool.
Tried to make a point to a friend of mine on the face books about White Pride and racism, sparked by one of those pictures where people of color are all like "[demographic] pride!" and white people are like "Yay for you!" and then "White Pride" with the people of color having a frowny face at them. A friend of hers jumped in with "Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Black chamber of Commerce and Black Panthers!" and I don't know my stuff that well, so butts to me. :(

"White Pride" is code for two things:
1. We're really, really afraid of Black people, and
2. We are the bottom of the barrel. We have to feel better than someone.

Tried to make a point to a friend of mine on the face books about White Pride and racism, sparked by one of those pictures where people of color are all like "[demographic] pride!" and white people are like "Yay for you!" and then "White Pride" with the people of color having a frowny face at them. A friend of hers jumped in with "Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Black chamber of Commerce and Black Panthers!" and I don't know my stuff that well, so butts to me. :(
"White Pride" is code for two things:
1. We're really, really afraid of Black people, and
2. We are the bottom of the barrel. We have to feel better than someone.
I think I know who you're talking about.
Yeah, I think you do.

Yeah, saw it on FB right after reading this. It was too dismal to respond to.
It was. She did Like my comment though, so I'm notsure what to make of it.
I am now comfortable talking to my recovering junkie cousin again. He seems to be doing well. Very well. Good time for it.

She's digging her heels in over this:

She PM'ed me a Wall-O-Text about how there was nothing wrong with that and how dare I accuse her of being racist. I'm poking her with a stick. Can't resist the coming meltdown. :lol:

I do want to hit him about the head and shoulders though. He doesn't deserve it. And I shouldn't administer it. But. It would be satisfying.

Thank you. Those two videos were certainly not my best commentary, either. I really need to try not doing it live some day, and see how much of an improvement that is.
It does remove the challenge somewhat, though, which is no fun.

I think I know who you're talking about.
The thing that's interesting is that "white" isn't really an ethnicity. People who are into their ancestors actually know what they were all about and where they came from. Nobody has a problem with German festivals or Polish festivals or the Norse lodge.
It's FASCINATING that there are apparent;y a shit ton of white racists out there who don't even seem to know these cultural heritage organizations even exist. I'm like, how proud can you actually be, if you seriously have no fucking idea that there is an enormous club entirely dedicated to celebrating your ancestry, which you are apparently too stupid to even look up? Have you REALLY never heard of the Highland Games?
COME THE FUCK ON.

I forget, sometimes. Hot hot hot.
Also, final word on this "Duck Dynasty" nonsense. The show's producer wanted to give the people what they wanted, which was some harmless, sanitized backwoods hillbilly rubes to laugh at. But then the craziest-looking one goes off-script in someone else's media, and shows White America a piece of itself that we all felt had been rinsed down the drain ages ago. This is NOT why they turned on the TV.
It occurs to me that if I was A&E's chief producer, I would not only fire the cast, I'd fire the producer who ran the show. In fact, the whole production team. A Stalinist purge, for the encouragement of the others, so to speak.
Oh, and while we were all freaking out over that, the "left wing" senate passed the NDAA.
Merry Christmas.

Ah yes. Panties were exploding left and right in that audience And then later online. And every time it is viewed, I am sure. I laughed loud enough to wake up my roommates, when I watched it.
So my dad was just here for his Saturday visit.
He spent the last fifteen minutes describing my brother's bathroom. It was at once amusing and torturous.

Depends, Mass Effect 1 was released in 2008, so your computer, unless it's really quite old, should be able to handle that. Even ME3's shiny graphics are not that system intensive...hell, the main problem is putting up with Origin, EA's craptastic answer to Steam.
You only need internet for ME3 MP too.
Once I finish the Dragon Age playthrough (likely from about May onwards), I may do a singleplayer ME1 to 3 campaign. Probably without player input though, just my choices.

Though the name generator (http://benedictcumberbatchgenerator.tumblr.com/) is endless fun, that has just this past minute or so made me almost drown in dr. pepper/ coca cola mixed with famous grouse, when swallowing became a thing I

Well, ME3 MP was pretty much what I wanted.
My entire life was shunted into weird new directions by playing Battlezone online a couple of years after it was popular - meeting some guys online that drew me to Edinburgh, so I'm always down for a decent bit of multiplayer. Plus, hilarious shit always happens to me in multiplayer games - it'd be amazing to randomly feature in one of your commentaries accidentally blowing my head off right in front of you for absolutely no reason.
"Oh my, that's alarming", you'd say. "I don't like that!"
And I would be shame, and it would be like old times
tm.
Don't you love it when your roommates take it upon themselves to 'fix' things. And tell you 'I just want to see something'. And then you get a migraine out of it.

Thank you. Those two videos were certainly not my best commentary, either. I really need to try not doing it live some day, and see how much of an improvement that is.
It does remove the challenge somewhat, though, which is no fun.
I've not played ME3, or any of the mass effect games, but I like the in-the-moment commentary. I also want to buy the game so I can play it cause it looks cool, but I'm fairly certain my computer and connection would be a little problematic.
Depends, Mass Effect 1 was released in 2008, so your computer, unless it's really quite old, should be able to handle that. Even ME3's shiny graphics are not that system intensive...hell, the main problem is putting up with Origin, EA's craptastic answer to Steam.
You only need internet for ME3 MP too.
Once I finish the Dragon Age playthrough (likely from about May onwards), I may do a singleplayer ME1 to 3 campaign. Probably without player input though, just my choices.

And I would be shame, and it would be like old timestm.
Well, the recommended specs are 1 gig of RAM, Direct-X 9, 15 gig on the HD and a 1.80 gig processor.
As for internet, I'm out in the middle of nowhere, using wireless which reaches a download speed of around 800 kb/s and I can host games no problem...when people actually join my lobby.
It may be better to wait for Mass Effect 4 if your computer isn't already up to that level...given the success of this multiplayer, which was originally made with minimal effort and not expected to be at all popular, the chances are they will put up a significant budget for the next installment of the game. They may also actually get around to working several bugs out of the game, and balancing the weapons and classes properly.
Also, no friendly fire, thank God. Well, except for locking people in the reactor on the Hazard Reactor map, and killing Possessed Abominations when they are next to people. Having an all biotic team using Lash, Throw and Pull to throw the Abominations at each other is actually very, very funny...but most people I knew from playing the game are either playing something else now, or else waiting for ME4.

I find online multiplayers are at their best when the game is a couple of years out of fashion. But, yes, maybe ME4.
And friendly fire is the best element of any game that has it. Otherwise it's like me playing my (incongruously and bizarrely) addictive F1 racing sims with the damage, tyre use and fuel use turned off.
This is definitely not balanced for friendly fire.
If it was, I'd play an Asari Adept all day long, casting Stasis on people and shooting them in the head with the Arc Pistol. It'd be instant death, and terribly unfair (incidentally, that class and setup should be my next video, after the two I upload tomorrow).
But then, this was designed with only one game mode in mind. It may be that the devs will introduce PvP...though a lot of people are not interested in it.

I like a Co-Op game where you still have to be accurate and, yanno,
good.
I will always prefer the satisfaction of taking down AI players to those who are merely human.
I am learning that a good way to deter would-be suitors is to tell them "if you do end up Googling my name, I just want you to know that almost everything you'll find about my dad is lies, and I know that because I was told so to my face by the judge at the sentencing".

Also, because some asshole reporter had/has no idea how reenlistments work, if I recall correctly.
There's a certain type of reporter that tries to START their career by going for some poor bastard's throat. Never fucking works. So you get one guy smeared, and the other working the public interest desk covering flower shows until he finds a new line of work.
So, confirmed with H1N1.
But I'm pretty sure I beat that bastard. My temperature has been below 100 for 20 hours now, and I can think again.
Also, I no longer feel like I've been circle-stomped by drunken boghoppers.

Yep, and better yet, it was an AMATEUR reporter who was trying to kickstart his career by "outing" fake war heroes.
Didn't work out so well for him, it turns out.
But the best news is, you tell a guy that, and they evaporate right quick. Even the craziest ones. :lulz:

It might actually be to your benefit that you're a hair older than prime, because it's one of the strains that's hardest on people in their 20s-30s.

OK, for me, the holiday season is over. OVER.
Thank fuck.
I do have New Years, but in between now and then, I am looking forward to not drinking any alcohol at all. The stuff just tears me up. My guts are roiling. I may not drink on New Years either, because holy crap. Champagne would be nice but it isn't worth it.
It's like hangovers with a vengeance. Hangover plus "LOL you are old and hahahahaha".
Only one video upload today - I got up late, and the internets are being slow besides.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KMlCgqA6PY
I have one more video rendered and ready to go, but I'm not sure when I'll get to upload it. Tomorrow I'm out most of the day, and then it's Xmas Eve, Xmas, Boxing Day...I'll get around to it, but I'm not sure when.
Okay, back from hospital.
It's bronchial pneumonia. In the very very earliest stages (advanced bronchitis, not yet into lungs). One Z-pack later, I should be fine.
So I shall spend the next 72 hours sequestered in my fortress of arrogance, which is full of things stolen from your homes, ancient artifacts taken by force from small countries, and two evil women.
And you will do what we say. Because we have the nuclear missiles.

Didn't you say you got the shot this year? How long before you came down with this? I'm curious. I need to go get my shot but the irony is that by the time it reaches peak immunity it'll be mid-late January, well past peak season. But, you know, no insurance until the 1st and I spent all my money on Yule for the kids.

Yeah. The shot this year, according to the doc, is about 40% effective. My flu only lasted 6 days instead of 2-3 weeks, but the flu shot doesn't do shit for the weird opportunistic bacterial thingie that tends to get transmitted alongside the virus in many cases (including my own).
So, better than nothing, but not a guarantee.
And not nearly enough people are getting flu shots to allow herd immunity, both because of cost and because of Andrew Fucking Wakefield.

I go in to work here in about twenty minutes.
To work for three hours.
Because the mid-shifter is whining about needing more hours and the boss doesn't want to fire him even though he's worthless and can't be trusted to close because reasons. So he gets the long stretch and I have to clean up after him and the morning shift and have the store ready for tomorrow while waiting on customers . . . for three hours.
Total BS.
At least it's raining like a mo-fo. That always makes the floors more fun to mop. Washin' away all the weird footprint-art on the pseudo-tile.

The shot ought to be free to everyone. If that's not "in the general welfare of the nation", then I don't know what the fuck is. Our company pays for ours entirely, AND for our immediate family, because it means less sick time.
Now imagine if everyone was able to get one.

Yeah. The shot this year, according to the doc, is about 40% effective. My flu only lasted 6 days instead of 2-3 weeks, but the flu shot doesn't do shit for the weird opportunistic bacterial thingie that tends to get transmitted alongside the virus in many cases (including my own).
So, better than nothing, but not a guarantee.
And not nearly enough people are getting flu shots to allow herd immunity, both because of cost and because of Andrew Fucking Wakefield.
Glad you got the shot, since the full deal could have been really bad.
The shot ought to be free to everyone. If that's not "in the general welfare of the nation", then I don't know what the fuck is. Our company pays for ours entirely, AND for our immediate family, because it means less sick time.
Now imagine if everyone was able to get one.
Yes, it really really should be. Our system is fucked.
Way back in the days when we crushed Nazis and went to the moon, we killed smallpox forever via mass vaccination.
But that's when we could do stuff.
Which is funny because we have the power and resources to do so much more and simply...dont.

Okay, back from hospital.
It's bronchial pneumonia. In the very very earliest stages (advanced bronchitis, not yet into lungs). One Z-pack later, I should be fine.
So I shall spend the next 72 hours sequestered in my fortress of arrogance, which is full of things stolen from your homes, ancient artifacts taken by force from small countries, and two evil women.
And you will do what we say. Because we have the nuclear missiles.
:awesome:
I got the pneumonia shot and I also got pneumonia. Except mine accidentally all the lungs.

The shots aren't perfect, for very obvious reasons. The secret is herd immunity.

Silly Roger, using logic when management has clear instructions on what to do when, where, and how. Does he not know we should have no regard for prole metrics like ethics, common sense, and logic.
On a sidenote: You guys are regularly not wrong about such things, I have to rethink/research my opinion of flu-vaccinations. Does anyone have links they recommend?

Portland named best American city in 2013
You may pop the champagne.
Portland made it to the top of "America's 10 Best Cities for 2013" list – a "meta-ranking" of real estate blog Movoto, based on other rankings such as America's nerdiest cities, best cities for movie lovers and best cities for meat lovers.
The City of Roses leads a list that also includes, in order, Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Raleigh, San Diego, Denver, Miami and Las Vegas.
The ranking considered the 50 largest cities in the United States, and is basically a blend of previous rankings the real estate blog put together this year.
"It was an epic process," writes content editor Randy Nelson, "but when all of these seemingly incongruous rankings were fused together like in some mad scientist's experiment, emerging from the smoke and sparks to claim its title of the best city in America for 2013 was Portland, OR."
Portland also ranked best city for movie lovers and second nerdiest city. It placed fourth among funniest, most steampunk and best cities for food lovers. Its poorest performance was on the "America's Most Saintly Cities" list, where it ranked no. 34.
What do you think about the ranking? What makes a city "the best"? What do you like most about Portland?

I can HEAR the smell.
:horrormirth:
At least it got rid of my ear hair. Now I don't have to go in after it with a razor.
Ever cut your ear? It's amazing. It's like Niagara Falls, seen through rose-colored glasses.
Of course, there's always prying turkey patties apart with a shoddy butcher knife.

Yes. But remember when I mentioned that I cut a chunk out of my ear? You gave me shit about it, said something about "warm water" or "put wax paper between them before you freeze them".

Preliminary essay should be done in the next 10 minutes.
Then submission and back to bed.
All done. And since they're cancelling trains all over the area, I'm not going shopping today. So, you deviants will get my final Youtube video in a few hours. I would recommend watching it, not least because I'm playing the visually coolest, and one of the most actually destructive characters in the game. And though I don't quite do it justice (he does best on enclosed maps, and I like to play Unknown Map/Unknown Enemy to show I'm a badass who doesn't afraid of anything), I still do pretty well.
I read somewhere that people would like us lurkers to say Hi or something at least once a day. So "hi".
I really don't have anything to say, hence me lurking. But I do realize that this self censoring that I constantly do is not very helpful to anyone.
So you can expect at least one post a day from me at least here in the bar. well at least for the next week or two. That's usually my attention span for doing new stuff lately.
Need to work on that. *adds to the miles long list of things*
Oh, and husband is sick. Was expecting it really, he is always sick this time of year. But it's usually around New Year's. Hoping he'll be mostly over it by Wednesday.

To distract myself from pogs, I logged in to Ravelry (a website for knitters and crocheters and such) to check my forums there. Only to find some moron had joined Ravelry for the sole purpose of stalking his ex. That's going to go real well for him. :lulz:

She has Munchausen by Internet syndrome.
Here's the most upsetting thing. It is POSSIBLE that she was not faking. But in the fairly recent past she's faked/lied about rape, cancer, HIV, AIDS, miscarriage, anorexia, and being forced to give a baby up for adoption. She is "Alex" in this article: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-lying-disease/Content?oid=15337239
She is "Cara" and "Mollie" in this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18282277
So the POSSIBILITY that she isn't faking makes the probability that she is faking that much more upsetting.
It seemed off to me. Who posts rape selfies? Why with all the other details no mention of who the guy was? She completely took over the group for days, and then someone finally Googled her and it all came out.

Been away a couple of days. Here's the highlights:
Saturday: Went to Pat (other guitarist) and Meaghan's house for Christmas party. Announcement at party: Meaghan's pregnant. Holy shit. It's kinda weird because I've never had friends this close become parents when I was this close to them (Pickles and I lost touch during the time Pickleson happened).
Sunday: Villager and I went to the downstairs apartment and helped Villager's bestie's roommate build a fort using a couch, a futon, two CD towers, pillows, rope and blankets. Then we played videogames in the fort.
Today: Grades from Algebra came in. A-. My cumulative GPA is 3.47 or something like that.
Tomorrow: Work for 4 hours, get paid for 8.

We inverted the couch on top of the futon and used the CD towers as braces. It held. :lulz: I'll post the pic momentarily.

Oh, and Villager and I are both getting each other two gifts. She got me a preChristmas and I'm getting her a postChristmas. We decided this independently.
She got me the book "A Very Klingon Khristmas" which is a spoof on rhyming illustrated Christmas stories. It claims that humans stole Khristmas, or rather QIS'maS, the holiday is very much identical, but, well, Klingon.
The postChristmas gift I'm getting her, is, funny enough, Star Trek earrings. They're post because of delivery time.
Last year we bought each other some sort of Dalek- she got a plush Dalek, I got a Dalek alarm clock.

I have come to the conclusion that I say "shit" a hell of a lot.
Unnngh after 3 mornings of sleeping in and taking vitamins I'm starting to feel a little less like I might be turning "medically fragile".
Sleep is good for that. Speaking of which, man I am looking to sleeping in tomorrow. Between trying to get my sister's travel plans sorted out (because half the country got flooded on Friday), finishing off the preliminary essay and doing the last of the Xmas shopping, I haven't gotten that much.
Sleep is a beautiful thing.

Sleep is a beautiful thing.
It's my hobby. And I don't wanna toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at it.
I get distracted too easily to sleep. I have to force myself to sit in a mostly unlit room, with nothing except a book (paper or Kindle, so long as the internet is off) for an hour before I intend to sleep, otherwise I will easily stay up until 5am, no matter how tired I may feel.
I do have a slowly evolving newfound respect for sleep. I still wish I had more hours in the day, though.

I have always had a fairly difficult relationship with sleep. Recently, though, I've been sleeping pretty well comparatively speaking, getting like four to six solid hours at a time and then waking up but being able to go back to sleep after only maybe an hour or so of stomach-twisting anxiety.
I have been.sleeping like, I dunno, whenn I was 12 or so. It is he hammock/earplug combo. It is very good to me.
I have been house sitting for the last few days and the guest room bed has jacked my back and made me very cranky and unfocused.
Also, parrot sitting. Boy those fuckers are annoying.

I got a Kindle Fire. :banana:
Getting used to this whole tablet thing. I suppose I should find screen protectors. On the plus side, I am now pillaging Amazon's free ebooks section, which is really why I wanted one to begin with.
I went out with my new housemates last night, drank way too much, and ended up crying because I can't have any more children before passing out at 10:30. :?
Now I have a hangover and I'm like, why would I do that to myself? Why?
Because CHRISTMAS, I'm guessing. Depressive substance + the most boring-ass holiday ever?
I've been reflecting on the Pavlovian effect of "Jingle Bells". You hear it a LOT, but it's an anachronism ~ most people have never SEEN a bobtailed horse pulling an open sleigh, much less ridden in one. "*shing-shing shing-shing* Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle alllll the waaaaaaay..." - "GO RUN UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS."
At least your kids aren't young enough to be getting you up at 5am anymore.
Not that I was ever guilty of that, or anything...
Wheeeeeeee! Today is going to be so much fun.

I don't even celebrate Christmas, my gigantic holiday stress-fest was four days ago. I think maybe it's because my friends are having babies.

THANK GOD.
Why I would on any level want to subject myself to that again is beyond me.
The Monkey is not yet old enough to get me up at five, I think. Or perhaps he won't do that. I'm sorry your night sucked, Nigel. Feel better.
And Merry Christmas or whatever to the rest of you!
Got bored. Spent all afternoon modding Skyrim to turn it into some kind of Dark Souls-esque experience and drinking champagne I confiscated from a student last year.
I had a fantastic night, it's this morning that sucked. :lulz:

Babies don't. They wake up when they normally wake up, and you hand them a gift and they bite the ribbon.
After that stage, it's pretty much "I WANT I WANT I WANT..." for years, though.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or just a plain old Hope your wednesday doesn't suck to everyone!
I get to spend the day in a mental fog wondering how in the hell there can be this much fluid coming from my nose. Oh and presents, which I've been assured there are some over at the parents.
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays, Sita. I hope your nose figures out where the shut-off valve is and you get good things from your parents.
Thanks. The boy got the majority of gifts, as usual. Toys, video games, a headset.
We got some towels.
My parents claim this is because I didn't give them a list of things I wanted. So they knew that our towels were old and thought we should have some new ones.

Well that's entertaining. Still, new towels are kind of awesome. All snuggly and fresh. Especially fresh from the dryer.

So I woke up this morning and the dog had wet the bed.
Yep. I stretched and my foot entered the wet zone, and I was like, WTF? Did I spill water on my bed last night? I was drunk, after all.
NOPE. PEE. Dog still lying in it.
Now I have her on watch for a bladder infection. Dog!
Then I threw my bedding, all in a big wad, down to the bottom of the basement stairs. Kinda forgot about it, went down a while later to feed the cat, OOPS MISJUDGED FELL DOWN STAIRS. No injuries, all is well, went back upstairs to get ready to go. Tried to put contacts in, could not get left contact in. Gave up after maybe 10 minutes, decided to wear glasses... could not get right contact out. FFFFFFFFU
Met up with friends. Tried to go to a movie downtown, it was sold out. Drove to Oregon City, pre-bought tickets for the 4 pm showing. Decided to have lunch, everything was closed. Ended up at Sharis. Sharis, which for some reason serves the one thing on earth I'm dangerously allergic to, honeydew melon, on your plate by default.
Got that straightened out, ate some tots, rad! Went to the movie. Fucking loved the movie.
Went back to friend's house to make dinner, SURPRISE! Her kids and ex-husband were there. Friend fumed a bit, it was adorable. Made dinner. Drank some wine. Blah blah blah 3 middle-aged divorcees who have known each other for 22 years, cackling hens etc.
Came home, realized that dog pee bedding is still unwashed in basement, and I do not get to sleep until it is clean and dry. So tired.
Best day ever!

Yes. :) I am hopeful that it will go where I'd like it to go, ie. to bed. I feel like if I've waited 20 years, what's a few months?
And I'm at work, again.
I had a dream I banged Jamie Lee Curtis last night. Which is strange for two reasons, one there's no rightly reason I should be thinking of Ms. Curtis, and two, my erotic dreams don't usually include full consummation..the girl usually turns into a doll or her sex parts turn into some thing hideous before I can get the deed done.
Trading Places Curtis, True Lies Curtis, or Activia-shiller Curtis?
I'm not even sure, I'm not that familiar with her oeuvre. She looked pretty good, though. Her blouse fell open exposing her breast and I was ready to go. :lol:

Today is going to be a rough one.
My wife, uh, did that thing again, yesterday, 2 days shy of 3 months.
So I have to go print out a form and get her to fill it out so I can file it.
I feel sick and broken, but there is only one way to handle this.

It happens whenever I am at my most happiest at the knowledge I have an amazing and beautiful person in ky.life who loves me deeply.
Now I have to walk away from that, that connection I have nevee had with anyone else because...because she is an asshole with mental problems.

It's unfortunate, but it was her responsibility to get her behavior under control, and you have to do what you have to do for your own emotional health and stability. Wishing you strength in getting through this, and I'm here if you want to talk about it.

The worst part, atm, is how it feels like I am the one making the decision.
I spent about two months waiting for her to do it again so I could be done and not feel guilty. Then I eased up and eased up andnow this.
Really though, it could be worse. It could have gone on like this for years, probably would have if not for my constant effort to check my own brain.

She made the decision, by not getting a handle on her behavior. She had lots of options to do so, including such simple things like "I'm feeling frazzled and need to spend half an hour alone/go for a walk/hide in this corner". She opted not to do that. It was her choice. You set your boundary, and it is a fair and reasonable one. Following through now is the best thing for both you and for her.

Besides, it's hard to do "Squiddy" right, because it involves lifting people off the ground while you scream at them, and probably some level of cannibalism.
I actually just feel better talking about it. So thanks guys,

So, for my Christmas, I went over to Villager's for Christmas Eve, we exchanged gifts. I got her what I think are amethyst and silver earrings (with dorky Starfleet earrings as a post-when-I-get-more-money-again-and-delivery-goes-back-to-normal gift). She got me boxer shorts, all blue plaid, and a printer (both practical and needed, just like I requested :) ). Then we spent quality time together.
Christmas Day, she went to her family's for the morning, which was iffy because she's been avoiding them due to her mother's immaturity, but that went off without a hitch. I suspect her deliberate avoiding of them sent the appropriate message. I puttered around her place meanwhile (her brother and I hate each other), and then she came back a little later than expected.
This put a bit of a kink in our plans because my own family are being particularly difficult with each other and we were going to go to my mom's place at 1 pm, and my aunts at 2. Villager got back at quarter of 2. Not that I was particularly banged up about that for reasons I won't get into.
So, we head to my Aunt Kathy's place, and the way it is, is that if someone's home, the side door is always open, and that lead to the kitchen, well, we get to the kitchen and Aunt Marie is rushing in looking for the phone, sees us, and shouts "Kathy's having a heart attack! Where's the real phone?!"
So we go into the living room, Crazy Uncle Bob is already on his phone with 911, and simultaneously getting her to respond, which is apparently a gradual return to consciousness and ability to communicate.
Paramedics come, Marie jumps in the ambulance with them, they go to the hospital, C.U.B. and I get the news out, and then it's just... the three of us. With Christmas dinner.
We made the best of it, but C.U.B. being C.U.B., started getting agitated that his siblings weren't updating him, but were updating me (his phone was getting crap reception). This, however, let me get a few lighthearted digs in, such as he's obviously the youngest sibling and what not. And also because of being C.U.B., he had at least one crazy thing to say. Well two, but the funnier, less run of the mill one was that the Army (he's in the reserves) injected him with megalodon DNA and as a result he's immune to leukemia and is able to heal quickly from broken bones.
Marie eventually gave us the ok that we could stop watching the house, wrap up the food, and lock up, so Villager and I went to the tiki bar, then went back to her place to watch Doctor Who.
Marie bought me the US Constitution cum collected works of the Founders (she's a Democrat, so it wasn't a crazy gift).
Whoa, so how's Kathy?
Quote from: Nigel's Red Velveteen Skinmeat Snacks on December 27, 2013, 04:45:48 AM
Whoa, so how's Kathy?
She's seemingly ok. It apparently wasn't a heart attack, but rather vasovagal reaction. She was discharged today. I was going to visit her because she was up the street from where I work, but she was getting out earlier than I was. i'm going to give her a call tomorrow.
My mom and another aunt are both nurses though, and they're like, get a second opinion. Mom's side has a history of heart disease.
Based on what I observed, and looked up about vasovagal, it fits, but like I said, history. Uncle Jim died of a heart attack, Uncle Bill probably died of a heart attack (he lived on a boat and was found in the water), Aunt Terri had a heart attack, Kathy has had a heart attack before, Aunt Marie is all healthy living and had a heart attack.....
Twid,
Hopes he's more dad than mom

Put me down for a working properly one, if we're taking orders. I hear shipping is easier if you buy in bulk.

Certainly we can get this shit cheaper in a bulk buy.
I would just like to report that Blood Dragon is both ridiculous and funny. Saving nerds, throwing my D20 around, being attacked by flesh-eating cassowaries, ripping hearts out of the bodies of Omega Force scrubs, going Full Rambo (archery only) on the first liberated base....ah, good times.
Dishonored is significantly less funny...it's a good game, so far, but I know to get the best ending, I have to actively avoid killing people, which is really, really hard. I may have to turn the difficulty back down to Normal, just to get used to the stealth system a bit more. I, uh, kinda slaughtered everyone in the prison escape, which is the first mission of the game.
Modded Skyrim to boost the combat difficulty and, well, I'm impressed. Bandits actually use tactics. They don't see someone get shot in the head by an arrow, look around for five seconds and then say "Oh, must've been my imagination" and go back to jacking off to lusty Argonian maids or whatever. Instead, they send someone to confront you head on, another to flank and with the combat tweaks, flanking attacks hurt a lot. Being hit while crouching hurts a lot. Blocking can mitigate a lot of damage, but it takes large amounts of stamina and great timing, because if you get it wrong, enemy attacks stagger you and then the enemy goes to town on you.
And that's just the normal enemy AI boost. I haven't even encountered a dragon yet...which I'm looking forward to. The mod I've installed makes them unpredictable as hell...they don't get grounded consistently, or staggered consistently, or use their abilities consistently. They also focus on you as the main target, can call for backup and abilities that were cut from the final game were put back in. The mod maker also restored the original Civil War storyline, before Bethesda cut it. Apparently, they planned a huge campaign for the civil war, with the real possibility of failure, hold-by-hold battles, multiple quests for each hold etc which was cut because, uh, the Bethesda dev responsible for it was abducted by aliens one day, or something. It's all still in the code, pretty much, but for whatever reason, they decided not to implement it.
This blasted cold has robbed me of my voice. Not that I talk that much anyway, but it's a bit annoying when you need to yell for your son to come in and all you can get out is a squeak :lol:
Got in on the free Left 4 Dead 2 thing on Steam. Gonna see if i can coax my computer to play it today (my specs aren't even what they have for minimal, but sometimes I can work around that with settings)
A have a 20 minute meeting in about 4 minutes, after which I will be online for most of the day.
I have 3 letters to write, and I'm re-reading LDW for the restart.
Well, given no posts in 2 hours, I'm off to write. :lulz:
I woke up in a frisky mood, and WINDOWS DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO UPDATE.
Why am I not given a choice in this matter? :crankey:
Well, I did what I needed to do.
I probably will post less over the next few weeks.

Windows 8, I assume?
I've set my options so they automatically download, but don't install until I PRESS THE BUTTON. Because then I can weed out all that useless bloatware which probably exists to tell Windows I'm running pirated programs (read: programs made by people other than MS).
Also, Skyrim update - dragon battle was epic. First battle of the game, against a "nerfed" dragon, using Dragon Combat Overhaul and Deadly Dragons mod (mod loading in that order). 15 minutes of dodging flames to epic Nordic singing while a giant flying lizard pushed everyone's shit in. Super-secret "hide in a tower" tactics were too powerful though, so I won.
Slept. Found out by way of accident that apparently I have a new boss. Can't wait to see how that goes. I am excite. Not. Spent the morning reading a book. It was glorious.

My children do not know that I bought a new computer, which I use to watch porn and do homework in my room.
I can now play Skyrim, although one of the kids lost my disk so I don't know exactly how. At least, not without alerting my son to the existence of my new computer.

It should be running via the Steam application.
Open Steam -> Library -> All games -> Skyrim.
You'd need to download Steam, and know his password/login information, but that aside it's pretty easy.
Or else you could just buy it via Steam. They've got Xmas sales on, Skyrim + all DLC is now $30.

With enough mods, Skyrim is actually good in terms of gameplay and storyline, as well as open world fun.
I personally recommend, in addition to the above two: Civil War Overhaul, Duel-Combat Realism (Hardcore), ACE Realistic Fighting, Ultimate Follower Overhaul, Dragon Soul Relinquishment, Achieve That!, Armor Disguises, Enemy AI Overhaul, Immersive Patrols, Deadly Poisons, Crossbows revamped, all of the Unofficial Patches, any mod your computer can handle to make the game look pretty and all the bugfixes your CPU can handle.
Edit to add: I'm playing on Expert, and the first mini-boss of the game, the final draugr by the Word Wall, forced me to reload three times to actually defeat him. He had Shouts. Multiple. And insane cooldowns on them. It was scary :(

I'm playing on PS3. Probably hosed on the mods. My computer is choppy at best when I try Skyrim. The civil war mods look cool as hell, though. A big battle is something I was always wanting in the game.
Yah, that actually makes me want to play Skyrim. (Note, no 'again'). Thanks Cain.

If there is such a thing as precognition it must be wholly useless.
Every time something ends like this for me I get some physical thing. My stomach sours, my right eye twitches, severe fatigue.
Maybe my bacteria/other systems pick up in clues my mind is too busy to focus on.
Maybe it doesnt matter because it makes no difference.
Just about a week ago I told a friend, "Somebody is going to piss me the fuck off, my eye is twitching like hell."

Maybe it's more like "Something is pissing me off, but I'm not gonna look at it". But it's still pissing you off, so you get stressed physically until you DO look at it.

Patterns.
I noticed a pattern, and I'm not even there. Your body knew the pattern, and responded with stress, even before you consciously recognized it.

If you can get away with it, I advise you to indulge for two weeks. No more. Two weeks of FUCK EVERYTHING I AM DRUNK. But after that, you must start something new. Something you've never done before, that will occupy you for a while.

Dear god.
OK, so I am not an expert, but at the very least, that amount of alcohol will make you fat.
Well, I'm definitely fat. Maybe now I know why.
So I have a sort of dilemma.
I mean, not REALLY, but let's just pretend that somehow I have some kind of say in the matter.
There's my accountant. In Baltimore. Who I have been kind of in love with for like 20 years. I would like him to move back to Portland, no idea if that's going to actually ever happen. Pipe dreams and wishful thinking, right?
And then there's this artist who I have had kind of a minor recurring crush on for the last 5-ish years. Who owns a home in St. Johns and is really into dogs and gardening, and who gave me a fantastically panty-moistening hug last night. With his absurd, perfect body OMG how does he even do that.
I think artist guy likes me and he is single again, having finally broken up with his last lady who was basically superhumanly awesome and totally intimidating. But he's also suuuper monogamous and if I go there, that's IT. Any extracurricular interests go into shutdown, goodbye accountant.
Actually this is not even really a dilemma because I'm too chickenshit to do anything about it. Like if I was a player I would be all "hey artist, know how you wanted to come to the coast but there's no more room at the house? Well you can share my bed" but I'm not actually ever going to say that.
Get your stuff together and ask out artist guy, fer chrissake! What's the worst that could happen? I'd hold off on the bedroom talk, though, that could be intimidating.

Yeahhhh
My chance is this weekend, but I'm going out to the coast to hang with my friends. My safe, safe, comforting friends.
I am not actually all that brave when it comes to guys. It essentially took all my accumulated bravery for 15 years to tell accountant guy I like him last summer, I think I might be spent for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, I hear ya. I've never in my life asked a girl out. If I hadn't been somewhat attractive and interesting I would be a forever alone virgin. But eventually, roughly after highschool, the girls stopped asking me out and I've been alone ever since, more or less. And frankly that sucks, but I just don't have the social skills to make something happen. What are ya gonna do, though?

Um, maybe be proactive for a half a minute?
I dunno. I might be a hypocrite for saying it given how hard it is for me to hit on anyone I remotely give a shit about, but the deal seems to be, if you're a chick and you're passive, you end up with mostly giant asshole losers, and if you're a guy and you're passive, you end up alone.
Not sure who has it worse, really. But either way, it pays to just ask people out.
I think I am going to hold out a while though. Give accountant a chance to break my heart.

Ok, i did the math. if you have 4 gin drinks a day, with 5 oz of gin per drink, that will kill a half gallon in three days.
So, it's possible, if not necessarily advisable.

5 oz of gin is, in my world anyway, roughly three servings.
Like, not to be a dick but 5 oz is about a glass of wine, volume-wise.

Enki redux.
Look, the computer is all very well for certain types of social things.
It isn't a substitute for dating.
So, in the same world where it's totes cool to down 12 glasses of wine, about two bottles a night, yep, that's totes not drinking too much.
In the meantime, the girl who drinks too much is just going to come out and say, 1/2 gallon of gin every three days is drinking too much, stop that.

Yeah, I hear ya. I've never in my life asked a girl out. If I hadn't been somewhat attractive and interesting I would be a forever alone virgin. But eventually, roughly after highschool, the girls stopped asking me out and I've been alone ever since, more or less. And frankly that sucks, but I just don't have the social skills to make something happen. What are ya gonna do, though?
"Go ask a girl out."
The penalty for failure is a "no", which leaves you where you started, not further back.

Am I an alcoholic? I drink like a half gallon of gin every 3 days.
Dear god.
OK, so I am not an expert, but at the very least, that amount of alcohol will make you fat.
Ok, i did the math. if you have 4 gin drinks a day, with 5 oz of gin per drink, that will kill a half gallon in three days.
So, it's possible, if not necessarily advisable.
Well, I don't work or anything, so my day is filled with steady drinking, though I don't get drunk, surprisingly. I'm hoping this will save my liver.

A half gallon of gin a week is too fucking much. A half gallon of gin a MONTH is too much.

Um, maybe be proactive for a half a minute?
Yeah, maybe someday, I recently asked a girl out on facebook which is progress of a computer sort. Oh, and I forgot I recently had an online relationship with a girl. Lucked out there, but the online thing is kind of worthless, to me anyway.
From Baltimore to Portland is a big move, I know this, see, because I live in Baltimore.

Online MEETING people is fine, but online "relationships" are bullshit. Don't waste your time.
Accountant lived in Portland for years, has a brother here. It's not that kind of massive resettlement that it would be for someone who doesn't already have family and friends and a life here.

This way lies madness. Go outside. Join a meetup group. Volunteer.
Get a dog. Go to dog parks.
Do SOMETHING.

Nigel is giving you the correct answer. "Go outside" is all you need.

Bipolar and consuming 12 servings of alcohol a day.
I may have identified your problem... it isn't the bipolar disorder, though.
Thread is now misery porn...

Also, in case your doctor hasn't told you (I'm sure they have, just joshin') alcohol interferes badly with every bipolar med on the market.
Not that you don't already know this. And if your doc hasn't ever told you this, you have a sweet malpractice suit in your pocket.
No, I laugh and shit. Have a good time party down still. All is not lost, I promise!

5 oz of gin is, in my world anyway, roughly three servings.
Like, not to be a dick but 5 oz is about a glass of wine, volume-wise.
A decent martini is About 8 oz, and is essentially cold gin with a bit of flavor. Those were the lines I was thinking along.
Again, not advisable, but possible, given the drinking time window. If you start at noon and go to midnight, it's feasible.

A classic martini glass only holds about 3-4 oz. In Oregon, serving an 8-oz martini, if you got busted by the OLCC, would result in a fine and loss of your server's license, at least.
8 oz is the size of a gin and soda.
I have never had a martini served in a juice glass. Maybe Mass. does it differently, but I've had martinis in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Vermont, and Arizona.

I struggle with my own biases and preconceived notions daily, I actively seek out dismantling the warped architecture of my mind, and with all that regularity it is not any easier, at times.
So, I can hardly imagine what thats like for people who NEVER do that.
For the record, Grodibex, I am actually not only a giant, tiny asshole with tits, but also I am slightly drunk right now, having gone to UFC fighting last night and then to the "evil party", and then coming home, sleeping briefly, and waking up with a wretched hangover. So I drank a beer my housemate left in the fridge, as hair of the dog.
I have to sober up and make gingerbread for the New Year. I might have to go back to bed for that.

both. If you want.
I keep calling Roger out on the fact that he lives somewhere that nobody can live because it's uninhabitable, and he just keeps getting back to me with "it's because we're all dead".
This makes me uncomfortable, so I mostly ignore it. YOU CAN'T LIVE SOMEWHERE UNINHABITABLE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD. That's a weak excuse.

Nigel is really awful when she stands up for noobs, I guess.
I'm really mean, and I'm constantly trying to out-troll everyone. At least, that's what Kai says.
You better take that SRSLY, Kai is super smart.
Oh hell yeah
like
the smartest person Kai associates with.

I keep calling Roger out on the fact that he lives somewhere that nobody can live because it's uninhabitable, and he just keeps getting back to me with "it's because we're all dead".
This makes me uncomfortable, so I mostly ignore it. YOU CAN'T LIVE SOMEWHERE UNINHABITABLE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD. That's a weak excuse.
It isn't Cotard's Syndrome if you're actually dead, and technically, I'm not
living anywhere.

Recording more videos. New maps, plus terrible team mates who make me want to eat my own face.
Probably wont render them until tonight though. Gonna see how many I can do in one sitting, and with the amount of alcohol I now have in my system.
Board is empty again today. Except for Obadai Grallspex or whatever his name is, and LuciferX explaining why woo > physics, etc.

No worries. I assume you're busy during the day, these days. Cain's got shit on his plate, and Nigel is busier than hell.
Everyone else, though, has fucked off to Facebook to share and Like, because they
care. Most people won't bother to share or repost, you know. It's a well-known fact.
And I lost all interest in the SF thread when slapnuts started responding with emotes.
Probably for the best. I forgot that Time doesn't exist in the universal wave function, so the only way to "time travel" is to go to a universe that configures to a smaller radius.

Maybe. There's at least one model that allows you to travel backward (overlapping Schwartzchild radii) However, once you DO that, you've introduced information, and the second that happens, you wind up with another universe, as Uncle Bohr and Cousin Schroedinger accept no paradoxes. Not to mention that you've added energy to an existing point in time, which ugly little brother Albert doesn't care for. And once you're in that new universe, you don't ever get to go back, for the same reason that the new universe started in the first place.
I forgot to account for adding energy!
You right.

I was Cleopatra in a past life. It was very traumatic, which is why I have so many cats now. They are my totem and my spirit guide. When I pet one, I see visions of my former existences and we exchange prana. It's very powerful and fulfilling. It's helping me in my penance for all the horrible, slutty things I did when I was the Queen of the Nile.

Ooooooh. That's why he wore green, right? Like in the movie? Wow. It's so great of them to carry that sort of thing through. It really connects the mythology to the modern day, doesn't it?
I object to the term "mythology" as it implies that our Earth Mother Loki doesn't actually exist.

I could teach you, you know. It's really not that hard. It mean, I have a certain natural talent for this sort of thing, you know. A long family history of authentic paganism and all that. But I'm totally willing to share what I know. I mean, like, that's really what this is all about, right? Like, sharing and being one with the people and totally helping the less wake people, like, wake up and, you know, really KNOW themselves?
I think it's a calling. Like the Goddess . . . or at least A Goddess . . . has, like, put her hand on me, and totally given me this task. And, like, I'm so ready to help. So if you have any questions, just, you know, go ahead and ask. If I'm not here to answer right away, one of my cats is usually sleeping the keyboard and they'll totally tell me if your question is important and needs answering super quick.

Apparently, I was an animal until this life. Yep. A reliable source says my deep-seated hatred for humanity comes from the fact that I was a dog or a bird or a baby seal in every previous life, aeons back until this time. When apparently I fucked up being a vole so bad, I was made a human because how hard could that be?

Define "in the South".
A court has rejected a 60-year-old man's attempt to invoke the ancient right to trial by combat, rather than pay a £25 fine for a minor motoring offence.
