UNNNGH for real, dudes, this interaction just happened on the ingress hangout I'm in.

Dude posts:


Responder 1: lolol Best part is that he is Venezuelan

OP: I just saw the #48.

Me: Do they even have KFC in Venezuela? I would be hell of distracted by a giant red and white bucket on the playing field too, to tell the truth.

Old Man: ^+1

Responder 1: I would too, especially if I had a stereotypical attraction to fried chicken

Responder 2:


Responder 1: ROFL

Responder 2: Those are all the KFCs in Venezuela. All pretty close together in the far north.

Me: I react the same way whenever someone throws fried chicken and watermelon in the pool while I'm swimming

Responder 1: hàh

Responder 2: You like chicken and watermelon, but you can swim?

Responder 1: LOLOL oh, snap

Me: I'm part white, it explains everything.

Responder 3: Wow, guys.

Me: I can swim, but I can't dance. It's the price you pay.

Responder 2: Lmao. I'll only hide half my family then

Responder 3: Um huh?

Holy shit.

Some asshole called Animal Services on me today about my old blind dog, who lives outside and sleeps under the porch because he refuses to come inside or use his very expensive doghouse.

They told Animal Services that he seems unhealthy and is left outside all the time with no food or water. Food and water are on the porch. Animal Services lady comes by, tells me that due to his age and blindness I should call the county and ask to have the rabies vaccine requirement waived, says "I know he won't use it but I have to require that you get bedding for his doghouse" and "he looks like he's in really good shape for his age", gave me some grooming tips (he's well groomed but gets mats on the back of his legs), and left.

That was a raft of stress for no real fucking reason, but at least I found out that the county will waive the rabies shot if your dog is over a certain age.

That's just obnoxious. Not quite as obnoxious as that ingress thing but whatever.

I've seen a trend toward overreaction I think. Combination of manipulative and shocking but earnest anti abuse social media campaigns and folks not quite sharp or well informed enough to know the difference. On the bright side over reporting is perhaps better than under reporting, if annoying.

That's what those little kids next door in Nineteen Eighty-Four said too.

My batshit insane coworker might be needing her own thread soon. She informed us today that Canada has reasonable citizenship requirements and she was thinking about moving there because America's leaders are always doing illegal things. She is not registered to vote.

I kept my mouth shut here, because I feel like dissuading her from leaving my vicinity, much less my country, would be a poor tactical decision.

This is incorrect.  One should surround themselves with such types, as they make handy meat shields for when things go wrong.  They were born to be thrown under a bus.

In unrelated news, I am taking a FB break, and will be getting some writing done here, as time permits.

This will not, however, result in rants about F5, as I am not feeling particularly social in the first place.

You mean she's not fleeing to Canada to escape Obama's socialist tyranny, which will soon be enforced by Cuban troops on American soil?  To live in the anarchocapitalist, freewheeling paradise of opportunity that exists under Stephen Harper's careful, non-coercive leadership?

That FB group was kind of bitchy to you. Pearls/swines.

It wasn't just that.  I'm just sort of sick of the lowest common denominator.

Yeah, that was some complete bullshit. You posted a BUNCH of creative shit, and got jumped on for being "too abrasive" or what the fuck ever.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So basically, there are some people there who don't want to see any creative expression that challenges them.

That was BECAUSE I posted some creative shit.  Writing something that involves anything other than hotdog buns makes you a "blowhard".

Well, yeah.  It threatens their standing in a non-existent pecking order.

Ook, I say.  Ook.

There was also the issue of people misreading or miscomprehending your main points; but that, I feel, is more forgivable.  I get shit wrong all the time, and it helps to have the author at hand to talk me through it.  However, refusing to acknowledge one's own misunderstanding, and arguing what the author "meant" is just more chest beating and screeching.

It's the usual primate shit.  Beasley is a prime example.

The bad news:  Brain flukes.  I has them.

The REALLY GOOD NEWS:  They have faded to the point where I am merely disagreeable.

[The Wizard Joseph]

So you've had them for some time then? How might they be diagnosed?
