I keep seeing spiders I in my room and sometimes I wonder, is it always the same spider or different spiders?

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

You should catch one and find out. I hate spiders and used to kill them on sight but now where I live apparently has enough bugs around to support a huge population of spiders so I leave them alone out of fear for what killing them might unleash

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

I drove almost 2 hours away on Saturday to eat at a taco johns

[Loony Le Fist]

I keep seeing spiders I in my room and sometimes I wonder, is it always the same spider or different spiders?

I'm curious if you can identify it. Does it look like a cellar spider or is it some kind of jumping spider? Perhaps it's something else entirely. If it's a jumping spider I would say it's most probably the same spider.

[motion denied]

kill all spiders, the horrid monsters

[consuming negativity]

i'd much rather have a few spiders who are stationary and chill than deal with a mountain of bugs just running around and being nasty-looking everywhere

it's symbiotic and shit - leave spiders alone and they will make sure you are left alone

i mean i wouldn't put up with like a fucking tarantula or some shit but a normal house spider or seven is just fine

I just burned a nauseating hole in my pocket and bought a few canvases, a couple brushes, and some oil pants (+ turpentine and linseed oil). If I had forgotten why I stopped painting, I definitely remembered when the girl rang up my stuff and I saw the total, jesus fucking christ... Kinda excited about it, though. Maybe I'll decide to paint rather than drink myself into an absolute stupor tonight

[Quail]

I'm feeling tired and a bit under the weather and my son is really getting to me. Everything he does either involves whining or messing up something I've just spent time doing. I've asked him to play in his bedroom until tea is ready (10 minutes of peace, hooray) to preserve at least a small amount of my sanity. I feel guilty for sometimes having days where I literally cannot wait until he goes to bed, but I think it's a pretty normal thing for parents. I need a cup of tea I think.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

So apparently ever store in Hesse closes around 20PM. Because of course we all have the leeway to leave work half an hour early so we can walk for 20 minutes because small towns are beautiful (small towns are not beautiful I hope they all burn down) so the clerk can close the door in our face.

Fuck Hesse.

Oh but at least we can do our shopping on Sundays no wait almost nothing works on Sundays you Christian bastards.

Also for some reason every person I meet is some kind of social-democrat. If I didn't know better I'd say I died on the first day of my study-work-trip-thing and this is Hell.

Also Hell has shitty WiFi.

edit: Also my apartment is apparently surrounded by young people who constantly have parties. They sound like they're having fun. I hate them already.

I'm feeling f*ckin' awesome. Today my teacher was absent and those bastards didn't let me leave the school because 4:35 wasn't a regular hour ( funny thing is, I had to wait 15 mins before considering my teacher absent, otherwise I didn't respect the rules), so I just snuck out of it. I feel like my english is not correct, also.

[PhoenixAsh]

omg omg....ten months ago at work when I just started one of my female coworkers and good friend asked me who I thought was the prettiest at work. I mentioned somebody who I thought was way out of my league. That person and I talked maybe two or three times since then. today...she approached me, told me she thought I was cute, asked me out, danced with me....and we kissed.

This is so f-ing awesome! I feel something terrible is going to happen now...

Im sitting alone in my apartment again on a Friday night. No plans whatso ever for the entire weekend.

I don't know why I cant bring myself to get out and do something.

[PhoenixAsh]

Do you feel you need to do something?

[Palmares]

I guess it also depends on how you define "doing something". I guess generally, it refers to going out somewhere, like an event, or a friends place, to drink alcohol, or drugs if you are so inclined. My situation is undoubtedly different to your's of course, but due to my health, I've been pretty much sXe since mid-year. So I don't really "go out" on weekends in the traditional sense. If at all, I mostly stick to doing daytime outdoor activities on my weekends. But mostly, I'm a homebody. And there's stuff I can do at home. Like revleft... :grin:

I don't tend to go out much at the moment either. I've been doing a lot of family stuff with my partner and son, and to be honest I'm quite happy staying in and writing or watching something. Weekends don't have to be massive drug binge blowouts all the time.

[Futility Personified]

Had a dream that nazi skinheads encircled me in the street whilst their compatriots went around beating up people with woolly hats. Everyone was smoking weed and there were lots of bent fag packets everywhere. I went full ninja and fucked the lot of them up with a trowel that was -really- sharp.

It was genuinely terrifying. Woke up sweating, woke up early.... Freaky.

I've been learning spanish for a while now and have been using duolingo and conversations with people irl to do so. Lately I have run into a roadblock of a lack of motivation. I'm pretty far in so I would be remiss to stop now. I'm also trying to learn french.

I'm pretty good with french now, and am learning mandarin and russian. Well I just downloaded duolingo but it doesn't look like there is a course for either of these in english...

[consuming negativity]

the duolingo mandarin course is a work in progress (can be seen if you go to the website)

honestly the app kinda sucks anyway unless you're supplementing it with classes or other programs/websites

as soon as i got out of review spanish it was terrible and for french was basically a non-starter as far as really learning anything besides "je suis" and that i suck at pronouncing french

[PhoenixAsh]

everybody sucks at pronouncing French..except the French...and nobody cares about what they think...they speak funny.

so that is the beauty of the lingo....It doesn't really matter...you can make it sound soive and sexy by watching AlloAllo

Anyway, I went out dancing til 2AM last night. I had a great time, danced really hard, found a shopping cart while walking back, pushed it a few blocks, put a newspaper box in it, pushed that a few more blocks, told some nerd to fuck off when he thought I should put it back, some driver ran a red light so he could catch up to me and yell at me for running red lights on my bike :laugh: and I told him to shove the law up his ass. Basically, I did everything I would have done if I'd had about 5 drinks. But I was completely sober! I'm so proud of myself!

I am a homebody myself, I think its just that I am craving human interaction. Just had a divorce and its odd not living with someone who you are close with. Also moved to a new city so its not often I can see my friends and my lifestyle makes it hard to meet new people.

I like lounging at home with movies, shows, video games, cards, cooking etc. It hard to meet others that enjoy the same since typically you do these activities at home.

You know what communer? French in a Spanish accent sounds super sexy. Possibly because there were a couple of really attractive spanish women in my french class a few years ago. But also, French in a Spanish acecnt sounds so gorgeous.

if you have any chance, get a tandem partner. Don't know if this a common concept in the US, but here, many students find someone that is a native speaker in the language they want to learn. Those speakers are mostly exchange students, so they want to learn German. You hang around and help each other out with the language. Best thing is that you can learn the language the way it's actually spoken, without this super academic touch that debunks you as learner. We have tandem partner service organizations here at university that get you such a student. They are for free, of course. Don't know about other countries, though.

I've never heard of that happening but I think you are considered higher priority if you call the police (I don't know from personal experience but from shit friends who have had restraining orders against exes and whatnot have mentioned).

[PhoenixAsh]

Restraining orders are purely there for costmetic and legal recourse. And there is some evidence that they actually play into patriarchal structures rather than protect.

They don't actually prevent anybody from crossing the lines set by the injunction. They merely provide a basis for the cops to show up and make an arrest when they do and allow for post-fact legal recourse.

[Bala Perdida]

Yeah. My mom's already set on filing it and I don't blame her for it. Her ex calls me now and then, but he's not much of a problem for me. Having a bunch of racist violent monsters following me is more of a problem for me. However, my mom my mom feels its gotten to that point. Today he showed up at the doorstep drunk, and he calls constantly. So I can understand my mom's fear.
We don't like cops, especially not me, but my mom would rather deal with them then him. Its been like 6 months since they broke up.

Not even a long one, just a few days to recompose myself and figure things out. I suppose I'm lucky it's Christmas soon, but I wish I could have a break from everything now... It's funny though because there isn't actually a real problem, so to speak; it's all just shit in my head.

Got an urgent message from the head of our IT department that he needed to have a serious talk with me about internet security. So when he got to my office I got an half hour monologue about the dangers of porn sites to company security and that I should not be watching porn on work owned workstations.

I couldn't get a word in edgewise...I had no clue what he was talking about.

Untill he said...reassuringly... "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable I am fascinated by squirt porn too and I watch it all the time."

I was like...WTF??

Then it dawned on me...

So I said; "You mean female ejaculation??"

Depends on the fish. And where it came from. On fishfarms they regularly dye the colour of the fish to appear more like their wild counterparts.

I usually think smell and taste is a good indicator whether something is off though. From my millions of years of eating dumpstered meat. Only time ever got sick from meat was from store bought meat...

The security flag was triggered over the title subject of the thread in the URL. Our security programm flags sexual related terminology and it only does so when I use the terminal...it is pretty basic.

The problem is the way folks use security culture and the way folks regard it in general. For one, the govt prolly doesn't give a shit about us, and if they do, I doubt they're spending huge resources on us. And if you're doing anything that'd require actual security a few basic measures will ensure that you won't be likely to get caught or rather they won't know ahead of time without a more serious investigation.

What did he expect walking around in those little short sleeves , he was practically begging for it! Seriously though I've talked about working out with him before, so I didn't expect to make him uncomfortable, I feel kinda bad.

Hmm I originally interpreted to mean he wanted you to kiss him after that, not that it made him uncomfortable, lol.

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

would you compliment a woman on her legs and expect her to take it platonically?

same applies for guys

if someone compliments my body and it isn't like "you have pretty eyes" or "i like the new haircut" i'd take that as interest

unless it's a situation where you're close friends where you can say shit like that and there's no implications from it but clearly you guys were not that close

If I had talked in depth with her about building her legs, yes I might actually but certainly not in a tone or with language that suggested sexual interest. My comment was "whoa X your arms are getting huge" as he was lifting a box. I don't really think he took it as interest on my part so much as I know he's homophobic and there was a woman in the room with us and he must have felt uncomfortable receiving a compliment from a dude in front of her. If this was a random guy then yeah for sure complimenting him on his biceps would be pretty aggressive in my opinion as well.

glad that complimenting women as a woman is so easy. Always received positive reactions. The best compliment that I ever received was when I stood with a ladyfriend at the bar. Suddenly, I felt how someone slapped my ass quite hard. I turned around and thought "I'm gonna have a remake of 'apocalypse now' in this moron's face", but there was this super cute girl smiling at me and saying "great ass" and all I could do was smile back and say thank you. My ladyfriend said "she turned around immediately when she saw you" :laugh: some male acquaintances say I was applying "reverse sexism" by allowing a female to do something I wouldn't allow a guy :rolleyes: I don't recommend doing this generally, however, especially not when in a guy-guy constellation. I also understand when females are not cool with it, but in this case, it's rather somehow individually judged, not the same oppressive structure as in "guy touches girl without consent".

So...this happened today:

Got an urgent message from the head of our IT department that he needed to have a serious talk with me about internet security. So when he got to my office I got an half hour monologue about the dangers of porn sites to company security and that I should not be watching porn on work owned workstations.

I couldn't get a word in edgewise...I had no clue what he was talking about.

Untill he said...reassuringly... "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable I am fascinated by squirt porn too and I watch it all the time."

I was like...WTF??

Then it dawned on me...

So I said; "You mean female ejaculation??"

"Well, yeah...that term pops up in your URL visits"

:laugh:


RevLeft is now officially a porn site in the eyes of my IT manager

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Please don't kill me! This is possibly the funniest thing I have ever heard in at least a year. I just laughed out loud in public (at my reception desk work computer incidentally).

I would feel pretty uncomfortable if a woman did that, but much less so than if it was a man. But I do agree that receiving compliments from women is much easier, like the other day these girls said my eyes were pretty which I think would make me kind of uncomfortable if a guy said it... Unless it's something platonic like one of my male teachers always compliments my nails and I don't mind that

Well, his boss did say that the porn sites could give the computers a virus, and that the program just looks for certain keywords that might indicate a porn site. I don't think there's any reason to believe the company looks through everybody's history in this case, especially since he didn't even look far enough into it to see it wasn't actually a porn site

Here's the thing, right; an interaction between a woman and a man is not the same as an interaction between a man and another man, or even more so between a woman and another woman. When a man acts sexually interested in someone else there is an implicit threat of violence (as derived from patriarchal culture, so it doesn't matter who the man is or what his intentions are). In interactions between women that almost automatic threat doesn't exist (of course an uninvited slap on the arse is something else and never ok, but you get my point). In interactions between men there is still a threat of violence but less so. But basically, "Same applies to guys" - not really. I think often there are things men say to women that are violent and not ok, but if a woman were to say them to a man it's (not necessarily ok but) a weak parody of male sexual violence. For an example, look at the famous diet coke tv ads of women leering at shirtless men: it's laughable to claim that it's the same or as severe if you reverse the genders in that context.


The last week has been way too intense. I've been acting kinda crazy. I feel very unsettled and like if I haven't lost control already then I am quickly losing it. I'm going to meet up with my best friend - he's exactly who I need right now. I feel scared though and I don't trust myself to act responsibly anymore. :(

He made me feel a lot better - he always does. He's a beautiful human being. :)

"you have pretty eyes"

Funnily enough, I've had innumerable compliments from people of various genders, but always platonic (or at least seemingly), about my eyes.. I remember the most random was when I was in London once, I had just found an unopened chocolate bar on the ground (score!), and maybe a minute or two later I was standing around on Brick Lane when this black guy who was standing nearby approached me. I believe he was quite polite, and he said something along the lines of... "Excuse me. Sorry to bother you, but I just had to tell you that you have really beautiful eyes. What is your background?" So I then briefly talked to them about my family background, and then we parted ways. Then I turned to my friend who had witnessed the whole event and remarked, "That was strange."

Compared to this and other similar experiences, pretty much nobody of whom I have been romantically involved have ever really remarked on my eyes. In a way, I kind of really dig these platonic compliments, as they seem to be really genuine and without ulterior motives. Not that I'm always against ulterior motives... ;)

[human strike]

You know that feeling when you sleep with someone new for the first time and you're getting on well but then they freak out and tell you they don't want to see you again? It isn't a nice feeling, eh. I'm confident that if I just wait a while they'll change their mind and contact me. Rejection always hurts, even when you're not especially attached to someone. It sucks because I wouldn't even have been that fussed if we didn't do that again, but the words, "I really like you, but I don't want to see you again," really sting regardless.

Which bit do you think was the lie? Because I think it was the "I don't want to see you again" part. I think I scared her by being so physically affectionate, but that's just the way I am, I'm a very physical person and especially with someone I don't really connect with on an emotional or intellectual level. I'm honestly just interested in having sex with this person, but they seemed to get the wrong impression. Either that or sleeping with the same person more than once is too scary for them, which is possible but very unfortunate if so.

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

Heh I always assume it's something I've done as well, but it's too easy to beat yourself up over things like that, as you've known yourself and all your flaws for way longer than the other person has. You'll probably never get a straight answer from this person anyhow, because who really wants to criticize a semi-stranger that they had a nice time with? I think I would just take her at her word and not read into it.

[DOOM]

Sorry, what is PTO?

I believe he ment this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paid_time_off

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

Yeah paid time off. In the US time off for vacation or illness is treated as a benefit that employers use to make a job more desirable rather than something that is guaranteed to everyone. My employer used to offer 3 weeks of vacation time and 5 days of sicktime until a few years ago when they introduced the PTO system. Instead they now offer 120 hours of PTO that acumlates over the course of the year. They present it as a more flexible solution because you can take the hours in any increment you like but the reality is that it's less time overall and as I said in the other post you have to eat up vacation time in order to have the privilege of not coming in and getting the rest of your coworkers sick.

FUUUUCK AAAGGHHH WHY AM I SO FUCKING AWKWARD I DONT EVEN LIKE YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Anyway...

I went to a punk gig which I used to do all the time but I haven't done in ages - and it was really fucking sound. I went with a couple of friends, one of whom I haven't been out with before and it was great because they're also really fucking sound, they just got back from Berlin and they brought me back an Antifa flag which is amazing, they're not even very political but they knew I'd like it :) . I was having a good night and had a good skank and I was even chatting with strangers which I almost never do. I had a conversation with the girl I mentioned yesterday on here or the day before and it wasn't even that awkward, in fact it was quite positive. But then my two friends left and then I had a difficult encounter with someone who is friends with the people who attacked me recently (which is the main reason I've been avoiding punk gigs) - I didn't realise he was so close with them but he explained that to me and how he's "in a predicament" but also said how he respects me and shit so that's good but it stressed me the FUCK out! And then I thought it would be a good idea in my very anxious slightly drunk state to talk to that girl again before she left but unsurprisingly I was really awkward. I was like yo how come you said you didn't wanna hook up again I think that's a shame and she was like well maybe when I'm back from going away for christmas maybe. I was like hmm ok. Which, tbh, is absolutely fine, it's just my fucking awkwardness that pisses me off because I knew all the right things to say but there's just this block in my head that goes nah don't say those things just say next to nothing and act really awkward, chicks dig that shit... fml.

And fucking work is stressing me out, I really want to avoid my line manager because I don't want to hear what she has to say about some shit and I don't need to hear it anyway, but obviously I'm not going to be able to avoid he for long. But at least I have people on my side there, which helps a lot.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK

The other friend I went there with - he's amazing. He knew that going to that gig would be very difficult for me. So before we went in he popped into a shop and bought a few tomatoes and told me to throw them as hard as I could at a wall. The boy's a fucking angel, he really looks after me like. Love him to bits.

[human strike]

Ya know what, if I can get through this shit that's been happening to me then I can get through anything - and I'm already through the worst of it. A year ago I could so easily have died, but I didn't because I chose not to. If I want to be - and I do want to be - I'm indestructible.

Do you guys find an ethical problem with eating live seafood? This can range from oysters, octopus, and fish.

I've never even thought of eating something alive... I'm not a big fan of seafood-even when it's something as simple as fish-so I don't plan on eating live seafood anytime soon. However, if I were interested, I'd eat it. I'm not too concerned about other animals' feelings, just humans' feelings.

On a different topic, I've been thinking... What if you suddenly learned that a person really close to you-such as a parent-had a belief (or several beliefs) that strongly opposed your own? I just realized, looking back on my time with my father, that we have quite a few opposing beliefs, to the point that I'm not sure if I like him more than I dislike him. He's quite a bigot, which is enough by itself for me to question my affinity with him.

I believe that the best gift one can get another is a personalized one, such as a poem, drawing, mixtape, or anything else of that nature. Sadly, everyone expects you to spend money in today's society. If you don't spend money on a gift, you're cheap, and you don't care about the person you're giving the gift to. My parents are spending lots of money on me for Christmas. Hell, they could've just decided to give me a bunch of cash so I could go shopping during Holiday sales. In that scenario, they could've worried about what to make, rather than what games I like, what I'm into, what I'm looking for, etc. My mother bought her step-daughter maternity stuff for Christmas because she's pregnant... The fuck?

Anyway, congrats on the hard work and great gift. I'm not very old, but I remember the times of making gifts-crafts and stuff-as a child for special occasions, and I miss them. Hell, I even made a Mothers' Day card out of Construction paper. XD

I'm gonna see if these protests are still a thing this week. Would Berkeley or Oakland be better? Or are the protests not happening anyomore? I did some quick googleing and it sounds like something's happening. It might just be a small political group though, setting up their 10 person demonstrations.

[Quail]

I had wine for breakfast. Happy solstice :)

[Palmares]

Ah, of course, the solstice! Thanks for the reminder. Long day tomorrow (southern hemisphere represent!).

Makes me appreciate my evening walk tonight, remembering where the stars are at this time of year, at that time of night (a bit before midnight).

I'm not in the city, so I can actually see the stars too! :)

I really don't know where the two of you are coming from, so don't consider this some super accurate post, but it's just that you are very demanding (which is only natural in your position) and that not everyone knows how to handle that perfectly all the time. It's exhausting. I've never been in a relationship with someone with issues like yours, but I got friends with a lot of stuff going on and I tell you: Even being friends can take a lot from you. This just multiplies in a relationship, especially when that partner doesn't have a lot of other persons to turn to and burdens you with all of it. As I said, this is a legitimate behavior, but please understand that she can't be in charge all the time and that she needs time off, otherwise you might endanger what the two of you have built up.

[Sinister Intents]

You're right, I'm so happy abd grateful for what we do have. She's gone home for two weeks and its hard sleeping at night when I'm so used to cuddling her and waking up next to her. She's very proud of me for finally getting a diagnostic appointment set up for mental health. I get insurance two days afterwards. I've repeated history so much in this relationship with my psychology. At least I'm not compulsively lying like I did with my ex. She, my girlfriend, knows exactly when I lie and helped me break that cycle. she's wanted to breakup several times abd it has only brought us closer together.

Why is it that when cops kill black people on video, nobody bats an eye,

but when it's the cops getting killed, everyone loses their minds?

Because black lives *don't* matter, that's why.

Makes me f**king sick.

Fire Emblem 4 is a great game. You can pair up characters (male and female) to produce strong children for the next generation. The biggest problem with the game is that sometimes, some people you do not want to become couples become one anyway resulting in a genetic shitstorm.
Eugenics will not stop me from loving this game.

[Rosa Partizan]

first Christmas ever I'm really looking forward to. Will be spending it with my bff, we are going to have presents for each other, eating fondue and tiramisu and watching "the last unicorn". kitschlevel over9000. Feels good not to spend it with the people called parents that are dragging you down constantly, so fuck this shit <3

[Sasha]

My dog is sick, never seen him like this in the 14 years i have him, from one night to the next it seems he gave up on life, getting worried, going to the vet tonight.

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

Sick animals can be very frustrating to deal with. If only they understood the importance of complying with medical advice... Hopefully he will be ok

[Sasha]

Weird thing is that he has nothing of the things he always had if he was sick like puking or diarea or shaking, he just refuses to come from his pillow, refuses to eat, refuses to go out for a walk. He still drinks water though, he doesn't sleep just stares in the distance.

[Sasha]

Just came back from the vets, nothing obvious, no fever, nothing special to feel in his tummy. She gave him a painkiller and something against nausea to take him over the hollidays and in hope he would eat again. If he is Saturday still sick I'm going back for bloodwork. They did gave some special food he is devouring as we speak so that's good.
Already decided that if its something permanent I'm not going to prolong his suffering, we had 14 great years together but hopefully he was just having doggy flu and he perks up

Is user "Kill all the Fetuses" another trot sock?

[motion denied]

I don't think so.

I like KATF's posts tho.

[Redistribute the Rep]

Dunno, the username is eerily similar to "criminalize heterosexuality" an 870 sock, also he's in solidarity with 5 year plan

Although likability of posts would constitute evidence against him being a trot...

[Atsumari]

At first, I liked 8-bit philosophy because someone is finally making philosophy more accessible and enjoyable for once but then I realized that giving a three minute lecture on a ideas and works that took a lifetime to pen turns these new learners into arrogant little pricks. If I had a penny for every time someone thought saying "I believe" is good discourse.

[PhoenixAsh]

Goddamn it.

Have to work tomorrow evening on Christmass eve (I am extremely religious when it suits my purposes of free and paid time) because I have to write a POC for a campaign we need to get so that I get to continue with my team and nobody has an extra lousy start of the new year.

This went down as follows.

This morning to my CEO: Can I get an hour early off tomorrow?
CEO: Why?
Me: I am going to meet up with some people who are only here tomorrow.
CEO: Yes, sure. No problem.
Me: :ohmy::):):) jeeeej.
CEO: :glare:


This evening 21:17 CEO email to me:

Sorry to bother you this late but I have a sudden dinner date tomorrow evening and I need to finish the POC for the new campaign. I won't have time. So here are my notes. I need to have the finished documents no later than 11:00 on the 25th.
Thanks in advance.


Me: :mad::mad::mad:


And the notes turn out to be a complete mess and half of them are wrong and need to be corrected.

I feel like my ugliness in my face is due to my fatness, but what if I lose the weight and my face is still ugly? Then I will have no clutch to lean on to at least hope I could be good looking, and will have to accept my ugliness

useless post.

[Redistribute the Rep]

Nah, I don't really care about self esteem or any of that, I just care about looks.

But yea maybe it changes with age

[Rosa Partizan]

so you don't think there's a connection? Like, you're "ugly" from an "objective" point of view? I think there can't be NO connection.

[Redistribute the Rep]

Huh. Idk why you found it a useless post but can you expand on that last one I don't really understand

[Rosa Partizan]

you think when you say your face is ugly that this is absolutely in no case a matter of self-esteem/confidence?

[Redistribute the Rep]

Correct.

assuming you're correct in your facial analysis, this would still mean that you accomplished a weight loss goal. that's definitely something to celebrate, assuming that your weight loss goal is a healthy one.

besides, there are a lot worse things in the world than being unattractive.

i know i have a vested interest in convincing myself of that, but seriously:

you could be stupid (but you're not)
you could be dead (but you're not)
i mean, shit, you could even be so unlucky as to be rosa partizan

then again, i did say you reminded me of her in that one thread...

alright, nevermind, sorry, i guess you're just doomed :unsure:

I accepted my ugliness a long time ago, but I guess it is easier for me since the first thing people do not think about when I speak about a controversial issue is "Is he sexy" which is something I see lots of people do to women. Even many leftists I have met would only take a woman seriously if she was good looking, regardless whether or not her statements were good or bad.

But if you need any recipes, I have plenty that are not overly complex, mostly East Asian.

Maybe your boyfriend is a fake bastard as well as a rich one? I mean no real offense by this, but if he's still friends with those kind of guys, he must have something in common with them. I had friends like that, right up until college. Once I got to college, they no longer wanted anything to do with me, which actually worked out really well, because I no longer wanted anything to do with them either.

Then again, I've moved around too much to have really known anyone "all my life," or even a quarter of my life... So maybe it's different when you've grown up with a certain set of friends and you don't know anything else...


Oh, and Phoenix, your boss is an irresponsible, inconsiderate asshole. As if you didn't already know that...

Well, back from Oakland. Nothing's happening anymore except for some small ass demos that end early so I misses it. I also couldn't find it. I'll go back later. The city is cool despite it's bad rep. A lot smaller than I thought too.

[PhoenixAsh]

Hell nah

[The Feral Underclass]

He contacted me for political advice and we had a brief and pleasant conversation about political organising. It would be incredibly creepy if 870 did that.

I've met quite a few "nice guys" that were not "like the other guys". Yeah they weren't, 'cause they were worse. I can't make sure 100% that he's not as bad, we've been dating for 2 months now and decided some weeks ago that it's a monogamous relationship, which is the only type of relationship we accept anyway. So he could still turn out to be a pick up artist or whatsoever, but I highly doubt it. Or he's some VERY talented type of asshole I haven't met before :laugh:

I come here every day, but haven't posted in quite a while. That would make me an utterly useless sock-puppet, don't you think? On the other hand, I have no idea what is this thing with sock-puppets nor why would people make them.

Also I am not a Trotskyist. You all are weird.

A lady at work was trying to be obnoxious because I told her I do not celebrate christmas. She bought this stupid stuffed stanta and put it on my desk, when you touch his hand his beard lights up with LEDs and plays songs. But it's cheaply made and so the lights flash too quickly almost like a strobe and the songs sound kind of demonic because of the speaker. The joke is on her though, because now I'm going to dedicate christmas to this insane party claus she has brought into my life and not jesus

[PhoenixAsh]

You could hang Santa...you know...from her work place...with a note pinnend on his chest saying that it was because of gift related stress or something....or because of the bleakness of the absence of any christmas spirit at your work place.

That would get the message across....

so this (http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/201412241638506uhmaxciyf.jpg) is how I wrapped the present for my bff. I I were an 8 year old girl with two fingers on each hand missing, it would be a great success. Duh.

[PhoenixAsh]

....well...at least is is personalized

[PhoenixAsh]

I am struggling to finish the POC (proof of concept).

I have to run queries for data accumulation and the server is insanely slow. Also...I lack any form of motivation other than that I really, really don't want to work tonight.

[Rosa Partizan]

it is AWESOME! Look at the funny animals, it's gonna be the best surprise ever even before she's unwrapped it.

[Palmares]

I am struggling to finish the POC...

For a brief moment there, I pictured you posting this on stormfront (although, very politically correct!). In my head, I gasped... :ohmy:

Then I read on.

Oh...

Best not to read something out of context. ;)

And finally I thought, "What the fuck is a 'proof of concept'?" :lol:

[PhoenixAsh]

Hahahaha.....

Proof of Concept is the document which provides some sort of statistical evidence for the feasability of a campaign.

[Art Vandelay]

So I went to the hospital to visit my grandpa yesterday and when I walk into his room the doctor is having the 'quality of life' and 'making the most of time left' discussion with him and my uncle. He was basically sitting there telling him 'you're dying and there is nothing we can do.' Shits fucked. Had to say goodbye yesterday and I'm not sure if I'll ever see him again.

Tell her Santa is actually an anagram of Satan, and is part of Lucifer's plan to get her to worship Greed instead of God.

You know, until Wednesday I always wondered why some people would wait until Christmas Eve to do all of their Christmas shopping.

This Christmas Eve, I finally learned why.

It's because they're goddamn MORONS!

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

It's nice to have a holiday meal with family, but it's also nice to spend the rest of the evening alone decompressing.

[Sasha]

Short doggie update, he seems a lot better, still refuses to eat dry food but he does eat wet food and he walks arround again, seems intrested in life, wants to go out etc etc so i'm content, my friend is going to look after him for a few days while i go to the inlaws on the other side of the country (thats a mere 2 hours by train here, its not a big country:lol:)
I think now he probably either hurt his back and needed some rest or he has toothpain (which explain him not wanting to eat dry food) and he became lethargic because he was hungry.

Thanks to everybody who expressed their care...

[human strike]

A few times I've tried to point out to my mother the deeply entrenched sexist gender division in the Mormon church, but she always refuses to acknowledge it. Today she's pretty ill. My sister has been looking after her and for about 30 seconds my two brother-in-laws went upstairs to giver her a "blessing." No doubt she still won't notice what I'm talking about.

It's horrible seeing her ill though. It makes me worry about how long she can actually live being so ill all the time. :(

So, I've been on PoF lately, and just out of curiosity, I've been wondering: is it wrong to dismiss someone as a potential partner (or even just a date) based on how they look? Of course, most people would say it's the inside that counts, but doesn't it just seem... wrong to ignore what we like/want? In that case, would it be okay to "let go"?

I think about weird stuff...
