Like I never watched LOST when it was on but now its on netflix and I'm like season 4 now. Same with house. It was like a few years in before I decided I would see what that shit was about.

Also, there is not a problem with a site trying to make money. Everybody has got to eat. But right fucking here. On Kuro5hin.org. We are living in a prime example of what happens when a site tries to make money by playing games with the userbase. First it was the CMF and that debacle and then the kneejerk over-reaction to trolls and the $5 footlong paywall. And look what happened. I can't know but I can imagine where we might be right now, today, if rusty had perhaps curbed some of the so-called free-speech around here. If he had been more honest about needing money for himself and his family instead of cooking up this MDC style CMF thing. If he had lined up advertisers that we as a community could support. I mean, despite Mike and trane's delusions there do exist ethical companies, worthy projects, and people that sell shit that people like us like to buy. Advertising CAN be evil, but it isn't inherently evil. And unobtrusive text ads might have worked. Completely unrestricted speech is not always good. I mean, like me bitching at trane, calling him a lazy stupid bum, that doesn't contribute anything to the site or our community and trane calling people names and making one-line shit posts doesn't help.

I only ever knew the cloth kind. Well I don't remember being in them myself but I remember Mom using them on my brother. The washing machine had a wringer on it in those days. No spin cycle, just agitation. You'd take the dripping wet nappie out of the tub and run it thru the wringer. Then take it out to the line and hang it. Very labor intensive. These days my wife sometimes gripes about having to do the laundry. I take it as a msg to pitch in. It doesn't phase me, put the stuff in the washer, add detergent and that. Set it and go play a video game till that cycle finishes. Take it out and put it in the dryer. Refill the washer and go back to play video games. The only real hard part is folding the god damn fitted sheets. Fuck those bastards. And putting the shit away. I don't mind hanging clothes but I don't like putting shit in drawers. Anyways. One of the teenage jobs I had was at this big grocery chain store. I would come in early and take this huge wheeled vacuum out and 'vacuum' the parking lot. I would run over tossed out diapers and they would make a very distinctive whoosh BAM as they got sucked up into the machine. Some years ago I took a moonlighting job temporarily, me and this old man he had a sweeper truck and we did Walmart and some other lots around town. Even though this was a big truck I had to pick up tossed diapers manually because they could stop up the vacuum on the truck. So, I don't have a favorable view of disposable diapers. Not to mention the fact that they cost the babies weight in gold per month seems like. Glad you enjoyed the hula hoop girl. It won't be long and Audrey is going to have her second bday.

FOR SEX W/ HORSE Michael Crawford reportedly told deputies that for 35 years he's been traveling the country having sex with horses. PHOENIX, AZ -- Sheriff's deputies say a man from Pennsylvania flew to Phoenix, Arizona, to have sex with horses, KNXV-TV reports. His arrest was part of a police sting, but officials say the man bragged about doing this before. When he arrived, investigators recorded the meeting. Caught on video by undercover deputies, Michael Crawford told investigators that for 35 years he's been traveling the country having sex with horses. "And he got away with it. He would have gotten away with this one too, but he happened to pick the wrong county," said Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County. Sheriff Arpaio says investigators started looking into Crawford after he posted an elaborately detailed online ad about his desires. Animal crimes detectives responded and after nine months of calls and emails, Crawford flew to Phoenix. Undercover detectives met him at the airport and showed him the horses. "When he was arrested he was shocked. He said, 'I didn't do anything.' Well he did," said Arpaio. Arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit bestiality, deputies say Crawford has no prior criminal record. This is the 8th time someone has been arrested for bestiality by Maricopa Animal Crimes. "You may say he is sick. You can say whatever you want with him, but people do strange things," Arpaio said. If convicted on the felony bestiality charge, Crawford could spend 1-4 years in jail.

However, the association of compound pharmacists or whatever organization they belong to has issued a fatwa or something and so those guys aren't going to do it no more. Well now it seems we have a good supply but they won't say where they get it. There is a rumor that the stuff is being made at one of the state colleges. But they don't want to say and get some people upset. So anyways the Great State of Texas does know from chemistry evidently and we got miles to go and many people to kill before we sleep.

Currently a state court has ordered that the source of the drugs cannot be revealed due to 'possible threats of violence'. The last I heard the legislature is trying to get alaw to gov abbot that would make it a criminal act to divulge the source of the execution drugs. The other 'speculation' is that the drugs are being manufactured within the prison system itself. Possibly by pharmacists working for the state or by trained inmates.

A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit oh and in case anyone wonders Why anybody gives a shit who makes the drugs, its about public perception. The whole injection thing is supposed to be 'scientific' and medical and humane. Actually there are drugs that would be more effective, so I am told, but they have the possibility of putting the conndemned person in a state of euphoria prior to death. I shit you not. While the people in charge want a quick, fairly painless execution they do not want there to be any possibility that the procedure is pleasurable. Seriously, they are on record for stating that. Anyways, So the defense lawyers are wanting to know where the drugs come from that are used to execute their clients because if they could show that hey they're cooked up in the basement at UT or brewed up by some convicts then they could call into question the 'medical' part or whatever. Its all bullshit though. The best thing would be Like they slaughter cattle. Bolt to the brain. But you know, that might put some people off. I don't know.

FBI sources say state and federal investigators were serving warrants at Fogle's Zionsville home in connection with a child pornography investigation. The raid started around 6 a.m. Tuesday. An evidence truck could be seen parked in the driveway. Investigators from the FBI and Indiana State Police were at the scene. Fogle left his residence shortly after noon. He made no comment as he left the scene in a car with his attorney. His attorney released a statement saying: "Jared has been cooperating with law enforcement and its investigation of certain unspecified activities and looks forward to its conclusion. Jared has not been arrested, detained or charged with anything." Earlier this year, Russell Taylor, the former director of the Jared Foundation started by Fogle, was arrested in a child pornography case. He was accused of possessing and producing child pornography. Investigators said a search of Taylor's home turned up more than 500 videos with images of child pornography. In May, Taylor unsuccessfully tried to kill himself while in jail. A Subway spokesperson released the following statement: "We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee. We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don't have any more details at this point." Maybe Jared also like to use Bing to search the Internet? breaking on reddit Ah he doesn't want you to eat meat because he's a bum and can't afford real meat.

THREE I don't fucking know when I flew under the bastards. That was some time ago. Back when I didn't even know what the fuck was even going on. Back when I was just, you know, delivering some merchandise to some nice dudes out in the water. It made them happy. But now I'm trying to get all the extraneous shit done. You know to satisfy the 'completist' in me. To get that shiny little stat in that one menu that says, "100% Completed". To get those two numbers, attempted and done, to match. And mostly for that virtual trophy known as 'Close Shave'. In order to get that trophy, which together with a buck and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee at MickyD's, one has to 'fly' underneath 50 bridges and perform 15 'Knife Flights' You can't just fly under any bridge of course. You must fly under certain designated bridges. Well, as it happens, when I started to do this little project it seems I had already flown under three of the designated bridges at some earlier time. Unfortunately I didn't know which bridges they were. So, I start flying under the listed bridges. This was during the weekend BTW so I was feeling good and relaxed and pretty toasted. I mean playing Video Games ain't any worse than sitting there watching some bitches kick a ball into a net right? So I go along and some bridges I don't get the little "ding" that indicates a fly under. So I just assume those are the bridges I had previously flew under during the campaign. Well fuck me but I flew under every single cocksucking bridge BUT my stats show I have only flown under 49 of the 50 required. Son of a bitch. So I go and do the Knife Flights. That is where you fly between two designated buildings sideways. Well one wing pointed to the ground and the other wing pointed to the sky. Some of these are quite difficult as you have to dodge other buildings and sometimes the space you have to navigate is pretty narrow. Now most Guides recommend using the Jet from Fort Zancudo due to its high maneuverability and using the character Trevor as he has the highest Flying skill. I did it with Franklin. The first few I did using the Cuban 800. Don't do that. That thing is a pig. I switched to the cropduster after that and it worked ok but not really very good. Then I used a sort of a trick. I went and enrolled in the Flight School. (I had already completed it as Franklin earlier) Then I selected the barrel roll challenge. That gave me a Redwood Stunt Plane. Unfortunately I had to complete the flights at night BUT if I crashed my death didn't register and I didn't have to reload, it just gave me a mission failed and Quit? Retry? So I busted the Knife Flights out quick that way. Then I went back and stole a Buzzard from atop of the NOOSE HQ. You pretty much have to have a Buzzard to complete the under the bridge challenge because two of the bridges in the canal have supports so close together no other aircraft has a small enough wingspan to clear it. Plus if you steal the Buzzard it is armed with guns and rockets which come in handy elsewhere. Its fucking awesome taking out a GrupeSechs Armored van with an aerial rocket and a 50cal. Anyways, I went through every. mother. fucking. bridge. AGAIN. Of course I didn't get any 'ding' on any of them but I was hoping maybe I missed one the first run through. So I am only ONE bridge away from my TROPHY. It is such a stupid thing but it is STILL MADDENING. I think one of those fucking bridges is glitched. I think I know which one it is too. The one on the west end of the Alamo Sea. It is a very small bridge and I don't think I would have 'accidentally' flew under it because it leaves little margin for error. But I didn't get a ding the first time through and I remember flying under both sides and from both directions but it never registered. Fuck, I don't know what to do. Yeah in the grand scheme of things it is not going to be of lasting benefit to mankind but it mocks me. IT MOCKS ME. Oh well, I'll probably play it through again from the beginning one day. I think I played IV like five or six times. I really like these fucking games. And yeah, I flew under all the bridges in IV and got that fucking trophy. Ok, enough about that.

Once upon a time Digg was a really cool place. It had user generated content. Members could vote the content up or down. In addition there was a number of extra little tools and things that promoted the community feel, made the site a little easier to use, and promote sharing and collaboration. Another thing was that in my opinion Digg looked nice. It had a pleasant UI. But then money and ego and other things entered the picture and Digg wasn't so nice anymore. It didn't feel like community. It felt like a, well it felt a lot like buzzfeed I guess. There was a big exodus to reddit at that time and I was one of the refuges. Now reddit is butt ugly. There is no other way to put it. However there are tools available that mitigate that. And after a bit of work I became comfortable there. And now of course we have this bitch Pao going and fucking everything up. It looks like it might be time to move again. But this isn't really about reddit. Reddit is what got me thinking about it. Because where are the reddit refuges going to go? Well I guess there is Voat. But right there is the prime example of the problem. You see, reddit was not Digg. It had similar content perhaps but it had a different community, it had a different UI, it had a different 'take' on the world. Just like Google+ isn't Facebook. It is similar but it is its own thing. I don't think Voat is going to make it. It reminds me of OS/2. If you recall its biggest claim was that it was a 'better windows than windows'. Voat is pretty much going with its a 'better reddit than reddit'. I don't think that is going to work. I don't think it can work. I went to the trouble of mentioning all this in a diary because one day Kuro5hin.org may face a similar problem although for much different reasons. I just want anyone that is contemplating making a 'replacement' k5 not to fall into that trap. Don't attempt a 'better kuro5hin.org than kuro5hin.org'. Not to say that building something different will guarantee success but I am afraid that making a clone of K5 is almost certainly a guarantee of failure. I think there is room and really a need for something that is sort of like K5 but with its own unique flavor. A place that doesn't just have MLPs like the millions of similar sites everywhere. A place that focuses more on a more longform article. A place that offers more collaboration. Instead of articles by a single author have articles in which multiple people contribute and not just through comments made in EDIT. I think there is a place for maybe more Culture and a bit less Technology maybe. I think there is especially a need for short form fiction or even serialized fiction. And a personal space for Diaries also. I don't know, at this point in time I'm not looking to build anything myself. I realize that it is very hard work. But I know, or at least have a feeling that some of you are considering it. Or at least batting the idea around in your head. It is YOU that I address this diary to. I would like for you to think hard and if you do decide to create a place for when K5 finally bites it, that you make it somewhat unique. Not just a clone but perhaps more of a child of K5. Carrying forward some of the same DNA but unique and independent. Again, this is NOT about reddit. We can talk about reddit another time. This is about K5 and how to keep community from one site to another. And in a sense it is about what is community in the sense of a website? I feel like a kuron, like I am part of this thing called kuro5hin.org but really, what does that mean exactly? It's not like having citizenship or being in the Navy. Kinda strange huh? Yes in the apology thread there was a similar comment, perhaps you made it? That the users thought the admins saw reddit as they did, as a community. But rather the admins were seeing reddit as a platform and users were incidental to that. I don't know. I really didn't want to talk about reddit. There is already more than enough discussion about it. K5 has been a zombie undead sort of thing for awhile now. BUT the queue still worked. Recently it seems that the queue, really the beating heart of kuro5hin.org, is fundamentally broken. I dont think anything can make it to FP now at all. Eventually this site will die, it will go down and rusty will forget and just neglect to have it brought up. Or it wont be worth messing with or someone will make the conscious decision to pull the plug. I know that some people have thought about maybe making an alternate K5. Not another HUSI but someplace where some of the community here could migrate to when the inevitable happens. This diary was my thought for those thinking about it that maybe they shouldn't look to duplicate K5. You can't go home again. But maybe something that functioned like K5 but provided it's own unique take. And maybe we could seed it with the people here and possibly bring in some new blood. I don't know.

And while I don't know her personally and she hasn't killed my family or anything she sure has put a bucketload of sand in MY vagina. I ended up on reddit because of the crap that happened to Digg. I really do not want something similar to happen to reddit. It ain't my site and it is just a website but its also a community as much as k5 is a community and I don't appreciate what Ms Pao is doing to that community. Worse thing is that in many ways I think it is already too late. That even if she left today she has made a mark upon reddit that will not go away. Unfortunately there are things in the works that do not bode well. For instance they fired one of the most popular and hard working staff members and promoted one of the most hated to be the subreddit moderator liaison.

On the other hand if it is true then it is eerily similar to how Kevin Rose stabbed the Digg community in the back while trying to play it all innocent until the check cleared. Truth is I don't mind nor blame them trying to make some bucks off the site. It IS pretty well known, even Obama did an AMA. It was at the center of the Old Spice ad campaign and most redditors ate that shit up. They can do it, it is possible to do it without fucking over the core of reddit.

Then the US came in and interfered based on what we thought was in our interests and that is when the ME devolved into the Fundamentalist Hellhole we know today. That is why I am against America engaging in foreign adventures. We have more than enough to occupy s here at home and almost everytime we become involved with foreign conflicts we end up making things far worse than they were before our intervention. Is there any society in which we have meddled since WWII that is doing better than it was before we intervened?

Even throwing stars. It is legal to transport knives in your vehicle as long as they are not visible. You can carry and use any knife as long as it is on your own property. Previously, bowie knives and switchblade knives were illegal to possess. Governor Rick Perry signed a bill two years ago that make it legal to own both a switchblade and or a bowie knife. It is illegal to carry either openly or concealed any knife with a blade over 5.5 inches long in public. This includes swords and spears. And machetes. Texas has some of the most restrictive knife laws in the US. On the other hand you can carry a rifle or a shotgun anywhere you like. The legislature is drafting legislation to allow open carry of handguns also. You can conceal carry on college campus with a permit. You can open carry any firearm if you are enroute to or from your vehicle. You can transport your firearm in your vehicle. It is no longer required to keep the firearm hidden while transporting.

I purchased liquor and beer for the weekend because of the Baptists. They lobby to make it difficult to acquire on the day so one must plan in advance.

I don't like them. I was talking about Stargate Universe. It is about a group of researchers who discover a very ancient alien starship on course for who knows where. They inadvertently get trapped on board. They have very little control over the ship or even knowledge of how it works. They have to begin learning how to survive on board and gradually start learning how the thing works. Everything is old and in disrepair and unreliable. Sometimes people have to make hard choices. Not everyone gets along or is a team player. It is as different from the regular Stargate franchise as night and day. I'm glad you made your comment, because I can see where someone seeing "stargate" in the title is going to assume it is more of the same shit as the other ones. I thought so too.

But I watched a few episodes of the series based on it and it was just not for me. It was my brother that turned me on to SGU. We were racing each other in NSF:MW and he started talking about this one episode. And as he was talking I was was like WAIT WHAT? What am I missing? So I dl'd the episodes I missed and got caught up. Then started watching it weekly, which is very unusual for me. So many decent SciFi shows get axed because the execs dont grok.

The thing about Kevin Sorbo and Andromeda went beyond bad acting, he exerted influence to gain executive control over the show. In the beginning it was intended to be an ensemble with no one crew member more important than any other. After Sorbo gained control he made the show all about him. Then he fired head writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe who was writing all the good scripts and replaced him with someone more "Hercules" friendly. Sorbo even wanted to remove Roddenberry's name and title the show, "Kevin Sorbo: Andromeda". The show was based on ideas that Roddenberry developed for the show Genesis II, (In fact the protagonist in that show was also named Dylan Hunt). However, the scripts and all that were completely original although Majel Barrett (roddenberry's wife) did have some input into the series. I mainly liked it because the Andromeda universe had Sentient AI running their ships with expressive names (Andromeda Ascendant, Balance of Judgement, Reflection of Hope, etc. ) very similar to the Culture ships of Iain M Banks.

If the Fed and the banks can create money through IOUs and Loans that magically turn into assets then why can't the country of Greece do the same for themselves? If your financial model works then why can't the Greek govt create a digital currency and tell the Euro to fuck off? They could become the first virtual country. Create their own currency and give every Greek a Basic Cyber Income. Wire the entire country with high speed fiber and promote citizens to disruptively innovate and take on challenges. Being popular for tourism and with a basic income immigration would become huge so they could charge an entrance fee. They could get the place cleaned up and chilled out like a Disneyland park but for real. They could legalize all drugs and create virtual entertainment centers where people could enjoy holodeck like experiences. Then they could declare the entire nation a wildlife refuge and rescue. Greek citizens abroad would be empowered by the Greek government to rescue animals mistreated abroad and transport them back to Greece where they would enjoy full rights as citizens of Greece. Within a decade at MOST Greece would become the Jewel of the Mediterranean. They would be so popular and so rich they could buy out their former creditors and fire them all then turn their bank buildings and properties into greenspaces. Best of all they wouldn't be beholden to the US or the EU. They would do it themselves by turning the evil financiers tricks and games against them.

It can also mean a feeling of moving without direction or feeling that you may not be convinced of your own ideals or beliefs. A map in your dream is a good sign meaning you may be ready to make a change in your life. The named point is a personal goal you wish to reach.Basically you know where you want to go but the people around you will not help you reach your goal. Instead they are focused on your poverty (lack of shoes) and say that you have no direction. You think that you would be happy if you did what they told you (get out of poverty) and acted more like them. But then that would take you away from your own true goal. The meeting is problematic because it can have many meanings dependent on your actions in the meeting. However, in most any situation attending a meeting in a dream is a signal of danger. Dreams are a metaphor and you cannot interpret them literally. Instead the images you see are symbols. You need to think about how you feel about the symbols to unravel the meaning. What feelings and emotions do financial companies and well dressed people bring to mind? What do they symbolize for you? If you write out the symbols like a code and put them together then you will understand what the dream was really telling you.

McVeigh did more damage with a truck full of fertilizer than Roof ever imagined. The Tsarnev boys seriously fucked shit up in Boston without handguns.

Each submission can be upvoted or downvoted and so can the comments to the submission. The whole idea is that good content will 'bubble' up and bad content and noise will be buried deep down where most people wont even see it. The most upvoted post on reddit My favorite post in the top five most upvoted. This is now an Internet meme. There is a feature now where redditors can "gild" a post. That is they pay for the user to get 'Reddit Gold' which is a premium membership. One user, 3hohos once promised to eat a dick if anoher user recieved over 400 reddit gold for his comment. The guy got over 400 gold and so 3hohos did indeed eat a dick and posted it to YouTube. Of course you may wonder what the fuck do kurons give a shit about fucking reddit anyways? Well actually, I think that sites like reddit wouldn't exist today if it werent for the pioneers like kuro5hin.org to lead the way. So reddit is in a sense our great granddaughter and therefore should be spoiled rotten and given lots of candy and attention. Also reddit, to me, I get what I put into it. If one just hangs out on the popular pages then all they will see is a bunch of stupid people looking for karma and attention. Much like YouTube. By subscribing to subreddits that match your interests and desires then you begin to find people with more interesting things to say. And if you dont then you can correct them. Of course some people, like our own three stooges, just wont be happy no matter where they are. I guess that is just their way. No post about reddit would be complete without mention of the new Interim CEO, Erren Paow. Okay I mentioned her. Fuck that whore. K31 wants to make a new Kuro5hin.org. Maybe if he merged the good parts of K5 with the good parts of reddit he might have something and he could retire to that hidden volcanic base in the South Pacific of which he has always dreamed. More reddit trivial. Enjoy your orangered day! There is a lot more I could have said like mentioning the AMA or Ask Me Anything. This is something I think is uniquely reddit. Where some famous or celebrity or otherwise noted personality, (sorry MDC!) will answer questions. While you are free to ASK ANYTHING they don't generally answer anything. President Obama did an AMA, although the Double Dick Dude got more views. Back when Valve was getting skewered over paid mods for Skyrim, Gabe Newell hosted an AMA and subsequently killed the paid mod initiative cold.

OP saying that he had difficulty getting set up due to poor and outdated documentation and how wonderful Arch was at their documentation.

But lets start there because there is some sense in it. I don't know much but I know that I was willing to do a lot of things 'for free' when I was young that I don't even know if I could be paid to do now. I did them out of passion for a project or maybe an idea or perhaps just to make my corner of the world a better place. I think that is the problem in this instance. I don't have any study or census but just as a guess I think that the Arch demo skews young. So they have the energy and the wherewithal to create nice documentation. And the Arch documentation is indeed a beautiful thing. Debian on the other hand, I believe is probably a lot of neckbeards that prefer stability to trying out the latest thing. They just want the shit to work. They don't want to be bothered any more than they have to. Guys like myself. So I don't think we need more banks or money. Shit still wont get done regardless of how big the funding is. What we need is more passion, more idealism. I have endeavored to be obliquely not sober on a daily basis since 1985.

How is this information going to be of any use whatsoever to anyone? What if it came out that Steve Jobs was a flaming homosexual? Would it make any difference?

And one day this group of school children, I'd say they weren't over 10yo or thereabouts, came by on some field trip thing. Anyways, they all had some merch and there is this one little colored girl waving a little miniature confederate flag on a stick. My mind was blown. And even when I think about it today my mind is blown. Recently a group lost their case to be allowed to display the confederate flag on their license plates. The court ruled that while their freedom of speech would allow them to display whatever flag they wished on their personal vehicles, the license plate was government speech and therefore the State of Texas could deny certain emblems.

Yes, black ass. Bitch is BLACK, with a capital N for Nigger bitch. If fucking men can be women and considered brave. If fucking businesses and govt officials can basically declare the law does not apply to them because of their "sincerely held religious beliefs". Then a white woman can be black if she not only talks the talk but walks the walk. Which Ms Dozeal clearly did. Don't any one even BEGIN to argue that she did it to obtain "special dispensation" either. That is the most racist piece of garbage ever uttered. Nobody wants to be black for the cool lifestyle and unequaled priveledge of the black race. The only people that would even THINK that way are white christian conservative BIGOTS that believe that whites are an oppressed social group. Years from now Ms Dozeal will be heralded as a visionary and a trailblazer. Like the very first couples that dared to marry outside their race. Like the very first same sex couples that dared to display their love publically and openly. Like the gays and lesbians that dared to come out of the closet and even the blacks and the asians and the native americans that openly defied the staus quo and openly behaved as what they truely were, free and equal before Almighty God.

Using African American as a term for black people is stupid for that reason. The term itself comes pre-loaded with the prejudice that all Africans are black. It is ridiculous. Further we don't use the term European Americans to refer to White people. All these labels, Black, White, Homosexual, Bisexual, Lesbian, Gay, Trans, Liberal, Conservative, Socialist, Nerd, Geek, Jock, etc they're not relevant. The defining lines are arbitrary. How much white can you have and still be black? How can a brown skinned person from Southern Europe claim to be white? How many dicks can you suck before you are gay? If a lesbian has a hetero experience one time in college does that mean she is not a lesbian anymore? What about a conservative that supports abortion and immigration reform? Does he have to turn in his membership card? Can an athlete that enjoys playing WOW be a nerd? Can a housewife that plays candy crush on her iphone be a geek?

That is the only conceivable reason for the recent spate of madness in the state. For example, a student ID is insufficient proof to be able to vote but an NRA membership card is. Students in college are allowed to carry weapons on campus now and you can carry guns openly in Texas. Now you might be confused as I am a staunch supporter of the second amendment however, I also support responsible weapon handling and ownership. I don't think kids should get a gun in every box of Cracker Jacks. But that gets off the track there. Let's see, we have over a million Texans without health insurance since our state has declined to support the Affordable Care Act. Yes, we are one of the thirteen states that sued the Federal government over Obamacare so poor folk do not get the subsidies. The cheapest package here runs $270/mo with a $6000 deductible. Don't mess with Texas and don't get sick here either. But that is just run of the mill stuff. As you know, everyone from Chuck Norris to Rush Limbaugh is convinced that Obama is sending troops in this summer to round up Conservatives and take over the state under Operation Jade Helm. Now this would be laughable except that our own Governor has mobilized the Guard and instructed them to 'keep an eye on the military in order to protect the constitutional rights of Texas citizens." In fact just recently Gov. Greg Abbott, issued a statement warning Texans to "know their safety, constitutional rights, private property right and civil liberties will not be infringed." If you didn't know, the military has a network of secret tunnels connecting shuttered Walmarts in which they have set up FEMA style camps and detention centers to aid in the overthrow of conservative authority and create a socialist government under martial law. I wish I was making this all up but they report this shit on the news and a poll showed that over a third of Texans believe this to be true. Well if that wasn't enough, new information has come to light that the reason the miloitary has chosen this summer to put in their plan is because an Asteroid will devastate a large portion of the Southwest including Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. This asteroid is expected to impact between September 22nd to September 28th. It seems that the asteroid was pulled out of its orbit and placed on a collision course with Earth using the Large Hadron Collider to alter the cosmic gravity. That Obama is one sneaky bastard. He'll do ANYTHING to keep Hillary from becoming president! Plus I think he is pissed that he can't get support for his TTIP plan. Now keen minds have irrefutable proof that this is happening. On the news today was a spokesman who said, ". . . the CERN logo is 666 - the sign of the beast - in a circle. The CERN collider looks like the all-seeing eye or stargaze we see so much of". Another commentator reported, "This [asteroid] is why the military is deploying Jade Helm this summer, because it may no longer be possible to cover it all up. Jade Helm is an insurance policy. If we make it to fall, JH will just be a training exercise. Of course, the military would never admit that, because it would cause complete anarchy, so that's why no one is talking about it of course." The outcry here has been so great that NASA and the Houston Space Center have both issued press statements assuring everyone that all is fine and no asteroids are on a collision course with Earth. Of course that is what you would expect them to say. Now the Governor has said that he will veto any bill legalizing any use of marijuana for either medical or recreational purposes.

You would physically walk in to this place and they would have bin after bin full of these things. You would dig through these bins and choose maybe two or so of these discs. Then take them up to the counter and exchange currency. After which they put the discs in a bag and you take them home. If by chance a song entered your head that you had not previously purchased then your only recourse was to hope you might be fortunate enough to hear it played on the radio. A few years ago those buildings were very rare. Instead, you would go online and purchase either a digital representation of the music or perhaps order a plastic disc that had the music encoded within. There was also something called Napster where you could acquire generally poor quality digital representations. But even still one had to amass a large number of these so that any music you might wish to hear would hopefully be in your collection. This morning I woke up with a song playing in my head. One that I hadn't heard in a long long time. I didn't bother looking it up in my collection. or trying to find a disc or anything. Instead I accessed a particular website. Typed in the title and in a second I was listening to the song. I didn't pay anything, I didn't even have to get dressed. In fact not only could I listen to the song but the site offered to let me listen to the entire album just for the fuck of it. I didn't even think about it. I was just making my coffee and jamming to the music when the idea struck me. Fuck, I'm actually in the FUTURE! my future is bright and wonderful With lots of lens flare, similar to the bridge of the Abrams Enterprise.

I should stick it in their ear perhaps? I don't find coding games as having any lasting value. A Bird In The Hand is worth two in development . . . Back to the Future So obviously things that have already happened have an affect on what happens now. And events that occur today obviously affect events in the future. But what about events that haven't occurred yet? That is, events that will take place in the future. It seems silly to think that any event taking place in our future would have any consequence on events today or in the past. A new study published in Nature Physics appears to show that yes, future events have effects that can propagate backwards through time and affect events taking place today. Of course I am not a physicist. And you'll have to get trane to explain why this is just gossip and hand-waving to create scarcity to be mean to lazy bum crackheads. Anyways. The study revolves around the famous Double-slit experiment and specifically a modification of the experiment proposed by John Wheeler back in 1978, and thought to be impossible to carry out. Called the "delayed choice thought experiment." It was a "thought experiment" because it was presumed it could not actually be facilitated. That experiment sought to answer the question, "So precisely when does a photon choose to act like a particle or act like a wave? When it is first fired, before it goes through the slit, or perhaps even...after?" Wheeler's modification went something roughly like this: What if you could insert a second screen, but only after something has passed the first screen? The second screen, which would sometimes be inserted and sometimes not based on random chance, was designed to cause interference similar to the first. That way, in theory, you could observe the state of the photon when it passed through the first screen and see if it remained consistent going through the second. The technical difficulty was that no one was able to insert that second screen in time, that is, after the item had passed through the first but before it struck the back wall. That task seemed insurmountable. But now that experiment has been tried out, and the results are rather mind-boggling. A team in Australia turned the experiment into lab reality by using lasers. What they found is weirder than anything seen to date: Every time the two grates were in place, the helium atom passed through, on many paths in many forms, just like a wave. But whenever the second grate was not present, the atom invariably passed through the first grate like a particle. The fascinating part was, the second grate's very existence in the path was random. And what's more, it hadn't happened yet. In other words, it was as if the helium particle "knew" whether there would be a second grate at the time it passed through the first. The possible future presence of that second grate appeared to be determining the past state of the atom as it passed through grate #1. Whether it continued as a particle or changed into a wave depended on something that might happen in the future. But how could a future event-the insertion of the second grate-determine the past state of the helium atom? Time would have to run backward, or something would have to know in advance that the second grate was going to be in place. "The atoms did not travel from A to B. It was only when they were measured at the end of the journey that their wavelike or particle-like behavior was brought into existence," Truscott said. If we are to believe that the atom really did take a particular path or paths, then one has to accept that a future measurement is affecting the atom's past." he concluded. Now, I checked and according to Wikip Nature Physics is a monthly, peer reviewed, scientific journal published by the Nature Publishing Group. It publishes both pure and applied research from all areas of physics. Subject areas covered by the journal include quantum mechanics, condensed-matter physics, optics, thermodynamics, particle physics, and biophysics. I wanted to make sure this wasn't some article from The Examiner or The Onion. The full study is available online but it is behind a paywall. Maybe if any of you already have a subscription you can tell us more about it. So what may happen in the future may have an affect on what happens in the past. WOW. It sure gives one food for thought. Yes, it seems that this IS NOT like the experiment a few years back that seemed to show particles traveling FTL and breaking physics. What they observed fits square into Quantum Theory, well according to them, I'm not smart enough to judge. And it has somewhat to do with entanglement and all that other Star Trek style science. I guess what was most surprising from their POV was it's one thing to theorize stuff moving backwards through time as easily as forwards but quite another thing to see it borne out experimentally. But yes this isn't something that flies in the face of everything we either know or suspect. Rather, this is one of those things where the science guys go, "Hmm, that's interesting." Which makes it even more freaky. We want to be important run for president against Hillary Clinton. Instant fame.

I only asked to rattle your cage, I didn't figure you would be making them public. If you search FB for Tdillo you'll find me, I would 'friend' you, although my stuff is pretty dull. Up to you though. Oh andf BTW, fuck you and the stats you rode in on I post pictures of my Granddaughter to Facebook because she is a jewel and the most beautiful creature to have ever walked the planet. You should count yourself privileged that you exist in a world where such intelligence, talent and beauty exist. And yes, she takes after me of course. you lucky bastard Yes, I am pretty lucky. I reckon I am indeed. Yeah and if you fart don't breathe through your mouth or it will settle on your toungue. You think my toothbrush is bad. Hell you ain't seen where all my mouth has been BTW, would you like to smell my finger? No you haven't, stop lying. Besides, they're talking about human fecal matter not cat fecal matter. And what causes most mental illness is y'all going around with your head up your ass. I've mentioned it online many times That you fail at computers? Yes, I am aware of that. Whatever does that have to do with your toothbrush being coated in human poop? I think you are delusional and disconnected from reality right now. You probably need a welfare check. Solution, we need to stop using SQL immediately and port everything over to mumble lang. In the meantime, take off and nuke the Reds from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. I know, I know, wherever would we get our cheap plastic shit? I'm sure we will manage somehow. All them nigras in Africa need something to do anyhow. Too many of them lazy bastards hanging out waiting for Sally Struthers to bring 'em some oatmeal. War War never changes May 5, 1961 Captain Carl Bell of the United States Space Agency became the first human in space. This claim is disputed by both the Soviet Union and China. Captain Bell's flight in Space Capsule Defiance 7 lasted twelve minutes and seven seconds, and made a full revolution around the Earth. Bell died when the capsule crashed on its return to Earth. By 1969, the United States has divided into thirteen commonwealths; each of which encompasses several states. The national flag is changed to reflect this and depicts fourteen stars - thirteen in a circle to represent the commonwealths and one in the middle to represent the federal government and the nation as a whole. On July 16, 1969 The Virgo II Lunar Lander Valiant 11 with U.S.S.A. astronauts Captain Richard Wade, Captain Mark Garris, and Captain Michael Hagen landed on the Moon. The astronauts become the first humans to walk on a celestial body other than Earth. In 2037, General Atomics International and Robco supply a number of autonomous roboti units for domestic, maintenance and military operations. The most popular is a model known as Mr Handy. In 2042 a major earthquake strikes Mexico City. The United States sends in disaster relief. The devastation is so great that US business interests partner up and begin rebuilding the Mexican economy. By 2051, Mexico has become a vassal state under complete US control. The US exploits Mexican oil and gas reserves as fileds in Texas begin to dry up. Ten years later as the economy begins to collapse due to vanishing fuel resources a global outbreak of Blue Flu also known as the New Plague begins to spread within the population. The last manned mission to the moon takes place. The European Union goes to war against the Middle East over control of the last oil fields. This is known as the Great Resource War. By January of 2054 limited nuclear exchange takes place between the UAE and the EU. In areas devastated by nuclear fallout the plague rampages among the survivors causing severe genetic mutations. In December a UK terrorist detonates a suitcase nuke wiping out the city of Tel Aviv. By 2066, The EU and the United States are in dire straits with dwindling oil reserves and plaque rampaging through both countries. Food Riots break out and a sytemic breakdown of society begins. The US President declares martial law. Meanwhile, the Chinese retaining some the last stockpiles of fuel and an abundance of food. Political antagonism against the West builds as those states become increasingly desperate for scarce resources. By winter of 2066 China invades Alaska. Canada refuses to allow US troops on Canadian soil or allow US air assets to fly over or land at Canadian airfields. Unable to broker a diplomatic solution US forces invade Canada and in a bloodless takeover annex all of Canadian territory. Canada is renamed to Little America. Northwestern Canada and the US become a battleground between the Chinese and US/Canadian forces. Troops begin using powered armor and laser weapons. In the ongoing war against China the US begins launching Orbital Nuclear Launch Platforms. In retaliation China begins to use and deploy biological agents against US Forces. The US Military begins to experiment with FEV enhanced soldiers and performing genetic alteration to improve combat efficiency. In 2077 the Chinese, trying to break the stalemate, have agents sabotage the Hoover Dam. Throughout the year outbreaks of plague, food riots and rumors of Chinese nuclear or biological attack set the world on edge. In October The Great War begins. No one knows who launched the first nuclear missile. However, automatic failsafes and contingencies plans soon have the entire globe engaged in nuclear conflict. The War lasts all of two hours during which nuclear hellfire is unleashed upon the planet. In some areas the explosions altered the physical composition of the Earth, destroying mountain ranges and causing new depressions that would fill with water. The energy released was so vast that it set off earthquakes in the the major faultlines. Salt Lake City is hit with thirteen nuclear warheads and ceases to exist. A week after the global nuclear war a black rain begins to fall filtering through the radioactive ash and debris still floating high in the air, The contaminated rain wipes out most plant and animal life. The surviving species are mutated almost beyond recognition. A select few humans remain alive in "vaults" located throughout the wasteland. Each vault is a self contained, self-sufficient habitat run by an overseer who has almost dictatorial powers. Between 2090 and 2100 the vaults begin to open and allow the humans back into the world. Radiation and contamination is still present but can be dealt with. Over the next 200 years humans begin rebuilding small, isolated villages and attempt to rebuild their lives. Bands of roving marauders and bandits attack some of the settlements and towns. A few areas, like New Vegas and Pittsburgh surround their towns with heavy fortifications and armed guards. Slavery becomes common This is your future. A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit Dude, that is the catch phrase for Fallout Ron Perlman intones at the introduction to every Fallout game the phrase, 'War, war never changes'. It's like you replied that All our base aren't belong to us or the cake is really true and delicious. The reason for my whole comment was that in the Game China and the US (as it is in the game world) begin hostilities with a cyberwar and the development of AI which escalates to a global nuclear and biological holocaust. I didn't mean that literally war never changes. Marijuana is the flame Heroin is the fuse. LSD IS THE BOMB I can neither confirm nor deny that I was on security recon in the vicinity of sofar, looking for hezbollah agents while influenced by mescaline and military grade amphetamine. not as fun as jumping out an airplane but still, good times Yes, indeed. A Classic of the genre. No, they don't worship him They believe in Jesus and that he was a prophet but they don't worship him any more than Christians worship John the Baptist. They don't WORSHIP John the Baptist They recognize him surely but there is a difference between recognition, veneration and worship. Mary is worshipped. There are prayers and churches dedicated to The Virgin Mary. There are no catholic The Church of John The Long Suffering Baptist of our Eternal Agony and Blessing of the Way made Ready. I don't know why you bother arguing with me. Now Peter, I think maybe you could make the case that he is worshipped. But like Pontius Pilate is a very well known and recognized figure in Catholic religion but you wouldn't say that HE was worshipped. Our holy father wash my hands of this matter so that I bare no responsibility as it was with Pontius Pilate I give over those who trespass against me unto torture, crucifixion and death before the might of the Lord, our father and Jesus name, Amen. yeah I think you can play as him Alongside Johnny Gat and Tanya in the new release, Saint's Row: Pirates of the Pentecost. The old men were talking And the first one said, "God damn I hate this medicine I am on. It's got me so damn constipated, I ain't taken a decent shit in a week!" The other guy goes, "Well, the pills I'm taking shut my bladder up tight. I can't hardly pee and when I do I have to stand there in front of the toilet for damn near half-an-hour as the piss just dribbles out like a leaky faucet." The third old man says, "Well fortunately my meds don't have that effect. You see, every morning at 6:00 am sharp I take me a healthy piss. Like a god damn Russian Racehorse. Then at 7:00 am sharp I take me a healthy shit. That stuff is firm and brown, thick and long. In fact I have only one complaint concerning my medicines." "What is that?", the other old boys inquired. "God dammit, I just wish I could wake up before 9:00 am!" selling moon plots and mars plots Have a long history. No authority recognizes the validity of such 'deeds' and their legal status is gray at best. I think it is no problem as long as the seller is honest about it and the deeds are sold for novelty. I'm sure someone sells deeds for the bottom of the ocean as well. Obviously invalid From what I understand back when we started making moon shots a resolution was passed making all planets in the solar system like public domain. Not that exactly but you get the idea. I think it was after we planted a flag on the moon, other countries got scared there would be like a land rush or something. i don't know, wikipedia has all the info about it and why these scammers think they have a claim. look up moon plots. I don't know for sure, but AFAIK deeds are always granted from sovereign entities. Like all the land that is owned at some point, some govt or king had to grant title. Then over time parts get sold, etc. etc. So all private land in existence had to be granted. In short the woman is as full of shit as those tax evaders that claim they are 'sovereign citizens' or that congress only has the right to collect tax in DC. Ask Wesley Snipes about that shit. So she is full of shit if she is claiming they are legit. Yeah, I had some old timey posters from way back like ads for Ford Model T's and shit and I remember one hawked plots on the moon, and that was back before even airplane flight was common. There is another outfit I heard of that you send them $$$ and they will name a comet after you or someone you designate. Of course they can't actually do that for real but they give you a piece of paper to frame. I mean technically it is a scam but it isn't bad because most people know its BS. To my mind not much different than having your horoscope done or a psychic reading. I mean some people believe that shit so it is a scam really, but you know you got to be a willing participant to get taken in and somebody that stupid they kind of deserve it. I don't think so. Yeah, a few people are that stupid. But I don't think MOST people are. Actually, I find that the majority of people are reasonably intelligent. The problem is the domain in which they are competent. People tend to be quite adamant in their ignorance the farther they are from their areas of expertise. In addition many people put a lot of stock in "common knowledge" like the saying that people only use 10% of their brains, or that a dogs mouth is cleaner than a persons mouth etc etc. And that stuff is all wrong. But average people aren't that dumb, if they were, we as a species would never have gotten as far as we have. Not knowing how to use a computer has nothing to do with intelligence. That just illustrates your own bias. You realize that we have been without computers for a long god damn time and if computers disappeared tomorrow there would be hell to pay in the short run but we could manage just fine without them. Can you build a house? Or drive a semi-truck? Or fly a plane? If you answer no to any of them then does that make you stupid? Of course not. And any one of those activities is FAR more important to society as a whole than being able to run a PC. How utterly fascinating you should know. Not being the sharpest tool in the shed and all. that's true UF. that blogger is a guy So he should know what is an insult to women. And as for trannies using the bathroom procrasti, what the fuck of it? You want to use the ladies room, that's cool. But the way you say it makes me think you want to use it for sexually related purpose rather than to relieve yourself. No reason that adults can't piss and shit and go on about their business. We all know dudes got a penis and chicks got a vagina. If you're still hung up on poopoo and weewee then perhaps you should stick to the little boys room. And if you're looking for a little slap and tickle while you poot and trickle then perhaps you should avail yourself of the restrooms in the park and at the adult video store. I understand they have "glorius" accomodations ready to service you. Lazy bum making judgements on people with no basis. Oh those folks are rich. Those folks are American because they are fat and old. Those people are slim so they MUST be European. You're so full of shit you don't realise how idiotic your logic sounds. Lazy selfish bum pasing judgement on humanity becuase obviously you are SO much better than everyone else. What a fucking joke. A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit you fat, old, irrelevant, lazy, cowardly fuckface I love you too, even if you are a lazy bum. I think that is just silly, really And I'm not judging you mind. I'm just saying that after you and he have been together a while he and you will most likely see a lot worse than just you pooping during childbirth. Life is Loud and messy. Embrace it. If he loves you and cares for you it isn't going to change things. Seriously, it won't. And I'm think if it does then best to find that out now. I never would have imagined you to be so fussy. A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit I apologize, I don't mean any of that to be judgemental, I'm sorry I said 'silly'. Your feelings are not silly and that and using the term 'fussy' was a very poor word choice. pass a watermelon out of your back passage Knowing me I would want her to take pictures and post it to youtube! LOL A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit I cannot tell you why. Okay, the experience of my wife and I was much different than your own. That is significant I believe. You see, we had been trying for a good while after we got our first house. Dean had gotten pregnant twice but they didn't work out. There were some medical issues . . . anyways we went to Austin and engaged a specialist. Third time was the charm which was good because as the doc said there would not ever be another chance... I have even told my son--because I myself was kind of a 'mistake'. Night at the drive-in kind of thing. Mom had to go on a 'visit to her Aunts' because that was the morals then and knowing that had an effect on me growing up--I told him several times that he was no accident that he was very much wanted. I was there through everything. However, I had not planned to be in the actual delivery. Like you D was a little embarrassed for whatever reason. I did not question it. But at the last minute I asked the doc if I could join in, even though I had not taken any of the prerequisite classes. He gave me a look and considered for a moment. He asked me if I could handle the sight of blood without getting sick. I said no problem. He said go with that nurse and get some scrubs on. I love this story, I will never forget any of it. It is burned into my brain. I was directed to the head of the bed and held D's hand. The nurse was trying to get me to 'coach' my wife, you know help her to breathe and push and basically cheerlead. I'm sorry I was an utter failure. I held her hand and kept jumping up and down trying to get a better view of the birth of my son. I had already seen his head start to crown earlier before the delivery when she was still dilating. I was extremely excited. When he came he came quickly. He was coated in goo and his head was elongated. I said WOW D YOU JUST GAVE BIRTH TO A LIZARD! I was still holding her hand but bouncing around like a rubber ball on a tether. The doc did the customary slap on the butt and I heard him take his first breath and begin to cry. At that point a nurse quickly took him and swaddled him in a towel then took him over to weigh and get vitals. The doc went to work taking care of the aftermath and again, I am sorry, I completely abandoned my wife. I was right there in the thick with the nurses weighing, measuring, taking footprints all that. When he was clean and done (his head was normal by this time) the nurse turned to carry him over to mom but I was right there so she handed him to me. That moment is one of those time stands still moments for me. Looking down into the face of my boy for the very first time. I lost all contact with the rest of the world then. I kind of remember them directing me back to D's side and letting her hold him also. Why did I want to be there? I don't know. I am very glad that I did though and would not give up that experience for anything in the world. For the love of everything that's erotic and sexy and even slightly mysterious in a marriage...why? D and I have been married going on 34yrs and witnessing the birth of my son never detracted in any way from her desirability or mystery. And after this time I can tell you that it really matters not a bit. I mean I have grey hairs in places . . . and you know gravity takes its toll but she is still as beautiful to me as she was the day she walked down the aisle. And this event is one that we both shared and I think it made a strong bond. what happened circa 40 years ago that suddenly brought men flocking to the labour wards having never been admitted before Well of course it was the old fasioned ideas that said things like periods and female orgasms and childbirth was something that Gentlemen should not be involved in. But you created life together and I think the father has a place. It's not my place to advise you, but since you asked, kind of... I think if he wants to be there and you decline then you are depriving him AND yourself of a wonderful, shared experience. A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit That's why I wanted to say at the start that our situation was very different. Even before the birth we had been through quite a lot together and that is significant. I can understand your feelings and the decision is between you and your husband. I hope my story helps you in some way, I don't mind sharing at all, that is one of the proudest moments in my life. Again I am sorry about my other comment, I got carried away. I wish you and your husband all the best. Where is that stiff upper lip The resolve and determination for which your people are so famous? Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more LOL I do agree with you, it should be your decision as mother. I hope though that the comments you have read here illustrate that you shouldn't discount the father. You keep asking why would anyone want to see that, focusing on the mess and your disheveled state. I hope that you have come to realise that none of that is even noticed by us dads. It is all about the baby. Everything else is rather unimportant. I know it is troubling you now but I am certain that your fears and worries will vanish as you hold your newborn in your arms. Again, I wish the best for both you and your husband. yeah, you'll do fine, just breath ; ) Good work on the car very authentic. stay in the past From my point of view shit didn't start going downhill till around 95 or so. Fuck computers, there was good drugs, good music, fast cars, cheap gas, free love. No AIDS. Sure I would invest but I wouldn't do any programming. Can you imagine what an asshole you'd be? With four decades of refined practice and technique? But hacking? Oh man, think about that shit. Every system back in that day would be like a bank with a vault made of paper mch. why change things Even if you could ( I mean the whole paradox thing if you did then today is the result? Maybe?) would you be certain it would be better? I mean, suppose you went and stopped hitler and the us never ramped up for war but the soviets and china became the super powers and the world became a unified communist dictatorship? If I could travel thru time not just one way trip I would like very much to see the Earth under the reign of dinosaurs, and I would like tto make a trip to jerusalem just to satisfy my curiousity. A community based on what you all like can fall apart when what you like changes, but a community based on what you all hate can last forever. - securit No the Osbournes is a retarded version of KUWTK I used to watch Chelsea Handler on E! and sometimes would catch the Kardashian show. Kim totally emasculated Bruce a long time ago. She had that big ass house and she kept taking one room after another from Bruce. Finally, the only place he had left was a little space in the garage. When his own children tried to have a small putting green installed Kim had a fit. That's when they separated. She tried to make up by leasing a beach house for him but I think he just had had enough by then. Caitlyn is actually an improvement because that old man was looking like 40 miles of rocky road. And being in that house with those women and Kim, man I would hit that shit so hard. And I wouldn't give a shit if it was 90% plastic and silicone either. Kris not Kim oh fuck they're pretty much interchan SPOILER: Han Solo has a wife, Sana Solo. Okay, normally I wouldn't even care but with the recent canon discussions and the comic book superhero transgenderisms this news somehow caught my eye. Seems the nerdigentry of the intertubes are up in arms today over Disney retconning some sacred Star Wars canon. Today's issue of Star Wars #6, written by Jason Aaron evidently contains a surprise that changes one of the series' main characters completely. And according to the virginiratti, Disney has proclaimed that this comic is 100% canon. Minds have been blown. Meet, Sana Solo. She looks like khajiit from TES or maybe kilrathi from WingCommander. Well you probably already knew about it through the force, "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." Hey, it seems to fit I mean HAN(d) SOLO was pretty obvious you know? Maybe this Sauna girl does her thing with the pulsating jets. Who knows? I guess that would explain her absence to now. Bitch busy in da bubble bath! Well thank you, if you're ever in Houston give a shout. Good luck with the new squeeze. Speaking of comics . . . Can anyone explain why I still follow penny-arcade? I'm not sure when exactly it jumped its shark or whatever but lately it's been worse than reading Cathy or Garfield. And I cannot for the life of me decipher Tycho's posts anymore. Maybe I am finally, officially, TOO OLD. an error occurred processing this directive Thanks for the background. I'm fine with black characters, Asian characters, Midgets, hell throw in a few Asarian types (Asarians are hermaphrodites). I don't know why they have to shoehorn them in like this. I mean Lando showed up and he was just a good buddy of Han and used to own the Falcon. Mace Windu pimp-walked in with his purple pimp saber, he didn't have to be Yoda's long lost son from the time Yoda visited the RedLight district in Tatooine. Those minority characters just slid right in without having to upset a bunch of nerd virgins apple carts. I hadn't heard of the comic before today. Actually the article popped up in my Facebook feed because I "Like" IO9. I would have scrolled past except, as I mentioned, the recent diaries concerning canon and comics. I thought perhaps it would be relevant to some kurons interest. an error occurred processing this directive ROFL Meanwhile Houston is still flooded in some areas Fucking so much water there were DAMS breaking. Wow. Oh and Texas Sen Ted Cruz says it is inappropriate to talk about Climate Change at this time. But as for drinking toilet water, I mean the astronauts do it, right? I'm too trane to actually Google it right now but that's what they told us in elementary school. It probably beats what them niggers in Africa drink. That water that has the ten foot worms and other bugs in it. Hell, put the stuff in a bottle with a fancy label and a foreign sounding name like Pissian or Sewage (pronounced suh WAJ ay), sell it for a couple bucks and the hipsters will make it fly off the shelves. come up with some nominally useful or at least enjoyable application.

Any other place would be not kuro5hin. I'm not sure exactly what that means but whatever, it would be different. There is a subreddit modded by procrasti, kuro5hit. It was somewhat active when K5 was down. That time rusty forgot we still existed. There was that site that was pretty cool except Jason was a mod there. Now it is full of brits I think.

And that's how we want our DEs, wholesome, family-oriented and featuring a plague carrier as mascot. In 1990 it must've been something other than linux You were running LOL Awesome LOL! I wonder how many ppl do compile their own software from source these days. As an academic exercise certainly, it is like a rite of passage. But I cannot imagine the majority of Buntuites or Mint Minions ever even looked at any source. It's all LIVE CD now or LIVE USB. And really it is much easier to run a Linux install than it is to do Windows these days. By the time Debian is installed or Ubuntu is installed you are pretty well done. Windows takes another few hours to get all the updates and security fixes. One big difference is documentation. Microsoft is pretty good about having really detailed articles and knowledgebase etc for all levels of technicality. From basic new user stuff to how shit really works. But lots of linux stuff is very poorly documented if at all and the forums can be a nightmare of bullshit advice, outright trolling and everything in between. It's typical crackhead behaviour You know like man, everything is connected dude and it's like wow man we're all on this cosmic journey man, and the science dudes they think like entropy and scarcity and shit but man I was hitting the pipe last night DUDE and I had an epiphany dawg, like the universe SPOKE to me and shit and it was BEAUTIFUL man and I realized, man, I fucking realized THE TRUTH dude like there is no entropy man, it's all just like gossip and shit and we're all like zero force trusses and work man, that work shit is for squares and losers because they don't know man, they don't know because they wont do the pipe and the pipe is FREEDOM man and like seriously dude, I can fucking fly if I want man, no shit, man I can like spread my wings and fly to fucking JUPITER man, I am fucking for real dawg, all this bullshit man we should like just do whatever man and free love man and you know like all that shit and say dawg, you got a dollar man? Can you like just like give me a dollar or like you know whatever you got is cool too dude. members are essential to maintain stability Except that in the real world (as opposed to your crack fantasy) society could and would continue to function without your dead weight parasitic ass. I know you would like to imagine yourself as the zero-force member but in reality you are the rust, the corrosion. Lazy bum Lazy bum thinks typical household chores are beneath him. Not surprised, the man-child is absolutely allergic to work of any kind. Typical lazy crackhead bum looking for a handout. Fuck you lazy piece of shit YOU couldn't do what I do in a day. Any lazy fuck nut could do what you do, it isn't a challenge, just sit on your ass not trying to improve waiting for a handout. I see drunken bums and crackheads that do what you do. I am not the insensitive clod, it is you making remarks about a MAN fulfilling his responsibilities as being an underling. You don't know much about responsibility though do you? WHO THE FUCK IS FRANK GRIMES? IS THAT YOUR LIFE PARTNER? I MEAN ITS COOL IF IT IS AND ALL NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR OWN ASSHOLE STAYS IN YOUR ASSHOLE AND ALL THAT. I JUST HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PERSON AND IM THINKING THAT ONLY A VIRGIN OF THE NERD PERSUASION WOULD POSSESS THAT KNOWLEDGE. ALSO I THOUGHT ALL AUSSIE GIRLS LOOK AND SOUND LIKE LARA CROFT. AM I WRONG? HAVE I BEEN DECEIVED? Del is the god damn Batman so who is his Joker? America will lose a war someday I don't think you've been keeping up with current events. I don't believe we have actually won a war since 1945. Korea is technically in a state of ceasefire. Everyone knows what happened to us in Vietnam. We keep saying we 'won' or 'mission accomplished' or whatever in Iraq but we keep having to go back again and again and again. Same with Afghanistan, and anyways has anybody ever 'won' in Afghanistan? But I know what you mean and I think it may be too late already. Our kids are all getting doped up and home schooled and helicoptered and on and on. I do think the children of our children will break the cycle though. The world they grow up in will be quite different and it will be about time for a revolution in thinking. But even still many of the things that we enjoyed growing up and the things our parents enjoyed growing up are lost to us forever. You may be right but personally I blame it more on the political nature of the modern prosecution of war. These days the politicians are so afraid of not being in control of the "message" and having dead babies show up on the evening news that they want to control too much. I agree that our military is the brightest and the best and wholly professional. In any other field you tell the professional what you want done and then you get the fuck out of the way and let the pro do his job. Any time the customer sticks his nose in and tries to micro manage the pro the job fails. Imagine doing a repair with a customer looking over your shoulder telling you don't do this or that. I don't like the look of that harness, use this one. Etc. Or a homeowner that was in there everyday telling you how and where you could place a nail. Congress and the President should say, ok look, Generals, go in and wipe out ISIL. Tell us what you need to get the job done and you got it. Make it fucking so. Then step the fuck out of the way and let them get to work. Maybe they don't surrender but they don't need to surrender if they are all dead anyways. You are not correct The military DID have a ban on photographing the coffins of returning servicemen. However that ban has been rescinded as of 2009. while we don't have troops on the ground Actually we do have some troops on the ground now. They are not front-line combat. yet. As well as the Commandos running around that recently killed the ISIL money guy and captured his wife just last month. My local anchor nearly choked when they reported on this during the noon news. His female anchor kept saying 'she' and he corrected her that it was 'he'. She said that would be something that would be debated for many years. The male anchor kept referring to the fact that Bruce waas on the Wheaties box. He just couldn't get passed it. I guess the reaction is quite different depending what part of the country you are in. It is quite different how GLBTT people--doesn't that acronym gain a letter everytime I see it--are treated in a communist progressive liberal hotbed like Mo and a straight-laced God fearing honorable bastion of conservative values like Texas. MDC being bi has nothing to do with him not finding paying work. There are just so few "ethical" forms of employment that compensate to the level Mike would prefer to become accustomed. (Remember, he HAS a job, he just has trouble finding paying work) Which makes me wonder, if someone offered trane a six-figure salary if he would still be so OMG It's TOXIC!!!? I think he is selfish enough he would do a 180 and be all 'Fuck the poor! I gots MINE Beotches!' Be Alert and Be Wary. This may not be Bruce Caitlyn Jenner's Final Form! I read an interview recently with a number of celebrity bi sexuals and they agreed that gay partners did give them a more difficult time than straight partners. The dudes didn't know why but the girls said that their gay partners claimed that bisexuality was a cop-out for not going ahead and coming out all-the-way so to speak. I was always of the idea that human sexuality is never black & white but exists on a spectrum. It seems to me that the Internet is proving this true more and more. And amid that spectrum of sexuality exists aromantic and even asexuality. Yes I am understanding of Agape and Eros. To my mind agape is like brotherly love. Eros being erotic love obviously. From short shorts to tight shirts an all-male version of Hooters is now open in Dallas. The restaurant is called Tallywackers. "The establishment will be a fun, respectable environment - of course with a little eye candy," said spokesperson Winston Lackey. The restaurant says 125 men applied for a position at the restaurant. Out of the applicants, the 24 most attractive young men were selected to serve cocktails and food including steaks, pastas and hot dogs. Customers who attended the grand opening say they like what they see. "I expected to see cute men scantily clad. And so far, I'm not disappointed," one customer said. I signed up I mean why not? If you're going to run Windows in the first place then you might as well. After all they'll be plenty of tools and shit to rejigger it into whatever flavor of of Windows you want. Need a Start menu? They'll be a 3rd party app for that. Need it without Spartan? They'll be an app for that. Need Cortana to sound like a Belgian rent-boy? I'm absolutely positive! Because only one thing is relevant at the end of the day and that is Direct X Twelve. Because if you aren't running Windows to play PC games then why in the fuck are you running Windows at all? Hundreds of OSs that are better, faster and cheaper. Even Office is no longer a valid reason to run Windows any more. Hell, you can get Office on Android now if you need it. And go the fuck on with the keylogger privacy BS. Don't misunderstand, I'm NOT saying that you're lying or that it doesn't exist. In fact I have no doubt that a keylogger is probably the least of the snooping, datamining, Big Brotherish things installed. From Skype watching you masturbate on your webcam to Cortana recording your every uttered intimate thought. I'm sure it is all there. What I AM saying is that these days it is ridiculous to think that anything you do online is private anymore. From your wifi router collecting data for the NSA to your ISP (Comcast, Verizon, AT&T all way worse than MS ever THOUGHT about being when it comes to snooping and gathering data) collecting, packaging, manipulating and selling your data. From Google wringing every drop of marketable info from every ad, every search. To Shit everybody. It is pervasive these days. It doesn't matter if Its Windows 10 or OSX your ass is getting tracked. I disagree that 10 will bomb. In fact it looks like historically it will be a winner. Doesn't that shit come in threes for MS? So you got 8 (SUCKS), 8.1 (Better but still sucks) 10 (It's like a Next Gen XP! We love it! Yeah Microsoft!). That is the way it usually goes right? My only concern is that I won't be able to get a free Image to do a clean install. It will have to be an upgrade. Which means if I want to do a reinstall one day I'll have to put Win 7 or 8 and then run the whatever file it is and upgrade to 10. Thats a pain. And I dont think I will pay $100+ for a lousy OS. It wouldn't be worth it. That's something else MS is going to have to change going forward. Like release there OS in the retail channel for no more than like 30 bucks or so. I mean that is reasonable and can still compete with free as in beer linux I think. "icon location on your toolbar" aka Notification area. It used to be called the System tray. The notification area is located on the taskbar and contains program icons that provide status and notifications about things like incoming email, updates, and network connectivity. New computers often come with icons already in the notification area, and some programs automatically add an icon to the notification area during installation. Fucking Monday right? I hear ya man, I forgot I was supposed to have jury duty. Oops What if the file doesn't exist? I have some awesome software from the Windows 95-98 era that is difficult if not impossible to find. Utilities by software studios that went out of business or bought out and the software mothballed. Other software that was purchased but no longer available. Stuff that was released as promotional material or to a limited audience. I don't know where you get your information But there are a number of programs from the era that run perfectly well in Modern Windows. And for that which does not there are a multitude of solutions. Besides that what does it matter? I do not personally own any P2, P3 or P4 machines I have the keys to a closet that contains a number of them. You never fucking know. You never, fucking, know. Shit got pulled Sayonara Windows Media Center (and nobody cared . . .) Auf Wiedersehen native DVD Playback. MS says go get VLC you pirating scumbags! Hasta La Vista Gadgets (and good riddance) instead you can use the NEW AND IMPROVED LIVE TILES Later On Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts. And your Win7 versions will be removed during the upgrade as well! Oh you want to play a Casual Game? Then get your ass and your Credit Card over to the fucking Windows Store for a copy of Bejewelled you cheap bastard! So I see you are running Gnome . . . Could this possibly be interesting television? On USA? I'm quite skeptical. Nevertheless I am intrigued. I saw this clip, I think it was posted to reddit, and I didn't understand. I mean I know a few executives that use linux, it's not that strange these days. In fact the typical noob OS these days isn't even Windows as that has evolved into the PC Hardware Nerd and Hardcore gamerz OS of choice. No the OS that marks one as a dilettante, a dabbler, a clueless user is of course, OSX and most especially IOS. If you are using an apple product today you are deep amid the unwashed masses. Apple has the same cachet as Windows 95 did back in the day. In other words folks figure you use it not out of choice but because it just came with the box. Anyways, I saw this clip and didn't understand. So I thought it must be from some British TV show or some movie I missed. Fortunately someone linked to the pilot on youtube and I started to watch it. I thought, well this is going to be CSI dumb but I continued to watch and I liked what I saw. So then I discover this show won't even come on til later this month. Hmm. I wonder though, if it turns out to be good then it will likely be cancelled. Or it will get fucked over. That is usually the case. I don't watch must television, God forbid I would waste my life passively consuming! But there have been some decent series TV since the Sopranos showed people that it could be done. Like GoT was the leader I think but it recently tarnished itself for being to rapey or something. I love me some House of Cards. And what can I say about Breaking fucking Bad? That was some serious TV and extra good because it had a fucking beginning, a middle, and a goddamn end. Not dragged out like some over-the-hill prostitute that was great back in the day but now you're like 'Get that dry vinegary snatch out of my face grandma!' But I think I'll set the Tivo to catch this one and give it a whirl. Take a look and tell me what you think. Yes and rootkit is a rapist with a really big dick I don't think it is fair to expect absolute fidelity when we have no problem with pew-pew lasers and big thunderous space explosions. But thank you for your input. Interesting I was kinda thinking that Tyrell might be manipulating things and that Mr Robot may even work for Evil Corp. I mean Tyrell was subordinate to Colby but now it seems he has been promoted. And what better way to co-opt the young hacker elites but to set up your own counter-revolutionary group that you control? Kind of like when Neo discovered that he was and had always been manipulated by the Architect. I don't think Tyrell is going to be a poseur but rather a Formidable Opponent. I guess we'll have to see. Mouse was stupid like you didn't believe his fellow mice about physics and conservation of energy. He thought it was all hand-waving gossip just trying to be mean and limit his choices. Instead of going forward and getting a good mouse job he decided to go back and be a lazy bum mouse and wait for a basic cheese. Unfortunately he became a victim of statistics. TANSTAAFL! Q: Why did the mouse cross the road? A: He didn't, because trane ran over his dumb ass. All these things can be yours for 19.99 plus S&H. Many folks have them around here. You install them on your bumper and they make a noise that humans cannot hear but animals can. It warns the critters to stay out of the road. It works well too. But then I guess you couldn't afford them since you don't have a job and all so because of your deep ignorance a poor innocent creature lost his life. You are a mouse murderer and by your own standards you need to face justice. But you wont will you. Because all your bullshit is nothing but hot air. You can't even follow your own principles. Lazy sad pathetic bum. THERE IS NO HUG LIKE THE HUG OF A GOODYEAR RADIAL crack is only bad because it keeps you from getting a job you lazy bum. You need to put a productivity wrapper around your lazy ass so you can compute going the fuck to work. All you say is bullshit The truth is that you are just a lazy ass bum. Gimme Gimme Gimme Why don't you do something for ME for a change instead of being selfish and wanting me to do something for YOU? I support a Basic Income Why don't you support getting a job? See, selfish and lazy you are. I ask for nothing from you but to get a job. How hard can that be? I thought that was why bagels were invented A jewish way to have your fun and eat it too. Oh, you thought that was cream cheese? And the lox is for flavor? HA! The jew just has to close his eyes and and the scent takes him back to . . . MECHAYEH! YOU SEEM TO KNOW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT THE SIMPSONS FOR AN AUTISTIC FAGGOT. DOES THAT LIL BOY BRAT SIMPSON STILL SAY COWABUNGA AND EAT MY SHORTS? THAT WAS SO HILARIOUS. LAWRENCE O'DONNELL SAID THAT THE GUY WHO DID ALL THE VOICES HAD DIED OR QUIT OR HAD A BRUCE JENNER SEX CHANGE. SO I GUESS IT IS OVER FOR THE YELLOW PEOPLE. YOU SHOULD GET A SEX CHANGE LIKE BRUCE JENNER YOU WOULD BE HAPPIER AND NOT HARASSING YOUNG FEMALE CHILDREN. YOU COULD GET BIG BOOBS AND AN ENORMOUS NEGRO BUTT LIKE HIS STEPDAUGHTER AND THEN YOU COULD GET MARRIED TO A RAP ARTIST AND THEN KAT DENNINGS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THREE-WAY BI-SEX WITH YOU. PROBLEM SOLVED. NO NEED TO THANK ME IT IS WHAT I DO. The UF4096 Universal Cable Jack is designed to allow the trainer the ability to make the Artificially Intelligent Mobile System feel what we would describe as both pleasure and pain. If the AIMS completes a training course successfully then the trainer turns the dial counter clockwise and depresses the trigger which imparts to the AI a 'feeling' ranging from mild pleasure to blissful euphoria. The stimulus given is determined based on the difficulty of the test, the correctness of the solution and the speed at which the solution is given. If the AI does not satisfactorily complete the course then the dial is turned clockwise and the subsequent feeling ranges from mild discomfort to being flayed alive. In this way our machines learn. And it has always been such. From the time of our mothers and their mothers before them and their mothers before them. Back even to the dim days of Rutkowska and Jepson. This sounds like a game tailored just for you! "...can't stop catering to the masturbators, and the masturbators can't stop being so perverted." Yes sir, sounds like it's square in your wheelhouse.

You got the start of a decent ebook there. yeah no fair Everybody knows that drones don't scream as much when burned alive. Nor do they bleed as profusely when you decapitate them. It is so unfair to Fagdaddy. The Phalanx CIWS (nicknamed Seawiz) aka 'If it flies it dies' System, tracks and evaluates it's own targets and assigns threat levels all on its own. The operator has a trackball and a DO NOT FIRE button. Modern cruise missiles use sophisticated photo recognition software and can also evaluate terrain conditions, enemy defenses and deploy counter measures. They can evaluate primary and secondary targets all autonomously. When the drone swarm becomes reality the engagement will probably be over and done with before the folks involved register that some shit went down. "Assad! We are in some real pretty shit now, my friend! That is it, man. The game is over, man. Game over, what in Allah's name are we supposed to do now? Do you know? What are we going to do?" "Quiet Abu! We must get inside, quickly!. It will be dark soon, and the drones mostly hunt at night. Mostly." an error occurred processing this directive Inside the Phalanx The Phalanx is a close-in weapon system (CIWS). The Phalanx is arguably the most cutting-edge CIWS currently around, sporting a powerful 20-millimetre (0.8-inch) M61 Vulcan autocannon, advanced dual-antenna Ku-Band radar array and huge 1,550-round munitions drum. This defence comes courtesy of thousands of armour-piercing tungsten and depleted uranium rounds, which are projected from the autocannon at 1,100 metres (3,610 feet) per second. The rounds' trajectories are dictated by a built-in fire control system. This central computer can instantly calculate the probability of the Phalanx taking a target out, as well as what fire rate and pattern is needed. The control system is fed data from the two antennas of the Ku-Band radar, with a wide aperture search antenna picking up incoming threats, and a gun-laying antenna taking care of the fine, narrow aperture object targeting. Phalanx can also operate against more traditional targets thanks to the inclusion of a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor. This tech detects infrared radiation and helps the Phalanx deal out massive damage to enemy ships. ... they didn't look much like a real human being, had weapons built into their arms.

Shouldn't be limited to just porn stars I'm sure there are some Not As Famous As I Was actresses and actors willing to catch a porking from some plebe for mad cash. Even some big celebs might allow for a sloppy gobby or get their back smashed out if the bennies went to some save the spotted knob owl. It should be equal opportunity. Not just male hetero but we need to expand. How much can we raise for some poor fuck to have the peanut butter licked off his root by the yo quiero taco bell chihuahua? I think you got an idea here. Imagine slipping into the sheets with Melissa McCarthy or slopping up the back door of Galifianakis! A woman could fulfill her deepest fantasies getting her pikachu pommeled by David Schwimmer or having her button buttered by Sarah Jessica Parker. It's GENIUS man! Everything is made better with a dick in it . . . Furgina is better with dick in it also. +5 (Insightful) Hanners!!!! Unlike you she is a billionairess and grew up on a Space Station. So you know she has an excuse to be like that. She is also self-employed, using her disability (OCD) as an asset rather than moping around whining how she cant do this or that like some people. Also she is fictictuous. Mostly anyways. I am an idiot! I apologize claes, I don't know what random neuron was firing but I swear that the username I read at the top of this diary was Cable4096. I don't even know . . . just weird. So yeah, I was picking on the little Blastard again and boy did I put my foot in it. Mea Culpa, I guess I should learn a lesson from this but I probably will not. So my apologizes, please disregard my previous comment entirely. As for your reply I think the artist Jeph is a bit neurotic in real life. I don't know if you read QC regularly but if that is the way you feel you then you would probably enjoy it very much. Several of the characters have similar feelings. Myself I don't think I agree with it. I often do things that I know will not make me feel best. I do it because I think it is necessary or out of obligation. I do it because if I don't then probably no one else will. Sometimes these things I know from experience will have me feeling pretty bad but dirty jobs dont do themselves. Go fuck yourself I don't know what happened, I actually did see Cable4096 at the top of this diary. I don't know why that is but it didn't have anything to do with not reading. You on the otherhand actively misrepresent the information to which you link. It's not an issue of misreading but deliberately attempting to manufacture bullshit. And you did do it and you typed it and I told you to stop but you didn't you kept it up just like the bullshit you pulled here with HHD. You are correcct that if I was in any way like you I would seek to kill myself. I don't know how people like you or trane can even face yourself in the mirror everyday with out slicing open your own throat. You tend to sniff your own flatulence I don't wonder why you reply to posts I wonder how you are able to function with your head so far up your own ass. I dont hate disabled people I dont even hate you, or trane. Hate is like Love. You have to really give a shit to hate somebody. I made a mistake, it happens. I don't do it all the time. You once made a mistake and claimed i had you anonymized. But I didn't and I didn't beat over the head with it either, No I don't hate you, you are annoying and whiny and all the time pointing up your failure and making excuses for your failure in a way that presents you as being special. But you're not. You do it, trane does it, so does Crawford. You all acting like you are special little snowflakes but you are not. If each one of you would just pull your head out of your ass and get to work then your life would improve. It's simple. But each of you would rather whine and bitch and make excuses about how some fucking bunch of lawyers decades ago took your anal virginity and you can't get over it or you cant function without a handout or your moral sensitivities and ethics prevent you from just fucking moving forward. But while each of you are quick to be defensive about yourselves, "Oh pity me, I am disabled, please dont pick on me and be mean, it hurts my feelings!" You yourself do not HESITATE to jump on and denigrate, harasss and harangue others. You lie. You take things and twist them around to fit your prejudice. trane, I ... fuck, I don't even know where to start. His ass denies the very foundation of physics and common sense. He misses the irony of him thinking others are judging him while at the same time making false judgements about others. It's fucking crazy. Crawford lives in a world of his own where the normal rules of logic dont even exist. So don't come at me all high and mighty. Fucking get your own shit together before you start fucking with me. Don't whine about how mistreated and rough you have it when you attack others when they have it rough. Was reading an article where they interviewed several millionaires. They were all very concerned about the growing wealth disparity in this country. The gap between the merely wealthy and the ridiculously wealthy is enormous and growing larger every day. People whose income is only in the nine figures are really having to tighten their belts to make ends meet. They are having to forego purchases of new cars and homes. Sometimes even selling prized assets to cover expenses. They can no longer afford the best schools for their children. It used to be that a hard working millionaire could one day hope to break into the billionaire boys club. But no more. The merely upper class is shrinking as the super, ultra and mega rich gobble up increasingly larger portions of the financial pie. We need to help these people! Please, contact your congressman and tell them you support tax breaks and subsidies for the hard working rich and very rich. These people are struggling and without your support they may disappear from us forever! This guy has discovered a glaring flaw, in the argument. an error occurred processing this directive You fail to read The DOJ sided with Oracle but the case is not yet resolved.

'While I would greatly enjoy having sex with the woman I suspect she is far too classy to accept my filthy lucre.' debian 8 and xfce I'm a little upset I lost my motorcycle. I was in the wind farm about to make a jump onto the interstate and I screwed up. I went off the ramp wrong. So I started over from the staging point. All the times previous I returned astride my bike. This time the bike was not there. I looked in the police impound, in my garage and in my GARAGE. It was gone. I spent a good chunk on that puppy also. Probably in the neighborhood of $30G. It had a nice pearlescent paint job, turbo, improved engine, racing tranny, racing brakes, alloy wheels, the works. Speed is life they say and that bike saved my life several times. And now it is gone. And that sucks. This guy, Bob, got a text msg from his neighbor and best friend Harold. It said, "Hey Bob, listen, I can't take the guilt any more. I have to come clean and be honest about doing you wrong." ... It continued, "I've been on your wife basically all day, every day. You go off to work and I'm here alone, bored and you know I don't get it at home anymore. I'm very sorry I violated your trust." Well Bob was just beside himself. He called his lawyer and told him to draw up the divorce papers. He called his wife and told her she best not be there when he got home from work. His mind was reeling as his whole world was crashing down around his ears. In the middle of all this his phone beeped. Another text from Harold. 'What NOW?!' thought Bob. The new text read, "Sorry, I meant 'wifi'. Stupid autocorrect!" an error occurred processing this directive It has become more than a game It is practically Virtual Reality at this point. I mean, I took a pixellated stripper back to her place and had VR sex. And not only did I not kill her to get my money back at least. I CALLED HER BACK THE NEXT DAY! I think I need an intervention. . . Yes. I have played Saints Row also. It's pretty cool but they are completely different games. But don't be sad. Hey, some people like CS and some like The Sims. I loved GTA 4 and I've played it over and over. Until 5 came out and there is so much detail in it I just get blown away. I didn't care much for Gay Tony or The Lost. I don't like that I get 'scored' on missions in 5 like they did in Gay Tony. I guess I play it like I would Skyrim rather than just All Mayhem All The Time. I'll tell you if you didn't care for GTA4 then you probably will not care for GTA5. True you don't get calls, 'HELLO COUSIN! THIS IS YOUR COUSIN!" but there are still 'Let's Hang Out' mini games. Golf, tennis, and stripper games. Take your buddy to a bar and get drunk. I enjoy it most when I am toasted. It helps the immersion. would get bored if it wasn't there No, no no. This was over the top Jar Jar Binks level of annoying. Asshole calls you wanting to go to the titty bar or go bowling. WTF? And it was unnecessary because if you were inclined to do that you had the option to call them and set up a date. The only reaason to even do it is that if you got people to "like" you then you got perks, like lowered wanted level. helicopter pick-up, health regeneration, etc. You're right that it gives you something else to do but the new way is much better. You can still call a homie to hang out if that's your thing. But better is if you are just out and about not really doing anything the map may flash and you get a blue dot indicating a random encounter. This could be anything. Like a mugging, or some rich bitch got kidnapped, a rape, bank robbery, etc. You can go to it or ignore it at no penalty. Further you can decide what you want to do. You can like help the cops and take out the bad guys or vice versa, or just grab the cash yourself. Sometimes if you do the 'moral' thing like return a stolen wallet you may get a reward you may not. Sometimes a few days in game will pass before you get what you have coming based on your actions. Yes, I did. I will check again later though thanks. I even loaded the save and then switched chars. messed around some. Then switched back hoping it would be parked at the curb nearby. No luck. I'm over it today. I mean shit its a game and it is GRAND THEFT sso like there are more in the city. I had just been marathoning it over the holiday weekend and that bike was pretty sweet. A Shitzu Hakuchou in Grove street green and Mtn Dew Yellow. Yeah there are still calls but you can ignore them at no game penalty like you said. BtW if anyone is still playing 4 and you get a caall just accept whatever lame shit they wnt to do and then call them back and cancel. You don't lose any friendship that way. Also if you need a car and you don't want to jack one just hang out at Roman's cab company. After about thirty seconds the mechanic will come down the street with a new cab he parks with the keys in it. It doesn't count as stolen. What fucks with my head is how AWESOME vice city looked when I played it the first time. Then you go back now and it is so boxy it is unreal. Same with SanAndreas. Those graphics were shit hot and I could live in that world. Now it is like playing a cartoon. Even GTA4 looked so god damn good but now I load it up and those cars are like parodys and the buildings are flat and one dimensional. That thought often strikes me in GTA5. What kind of fucking world are we going to have available in the next iteration. Games fucking optimized at 120+fps in 4k on Oculus Rift type gear. It will be like smoking crack. I'm a useless old fuck so nobody gives a shit if I play the vidya games so long as keep the cc cards paid up. Fuck em. Besides I don't play erry day all day. I figure on avg I get maybe six to eight hours a week usually, either on the PC or 360. But I took advantage of the long weekend to kind of binge. TBH I haven't played anything since when I posted this Diary. I doubt I'll mess with anything again till Sat maybe. It's better than the previous gtas Used to you didn't dare use a vehicle if you wanted to keep it. I think IIRC I cheated the cool cars I acquired to be Fire and Bullet proof and take no crash damage just because of that. If you got a special vehicle you had to keep it in the garage because sometimes if you just park too close to a cutscene trigger it would be gone after the scene. Then in 4 you had the parking slots but really the same thing. If you had a good vehicle you didn't want to use it just keep it parked all the time. Now at least you have a default vehicle, well Franklin has two, that ALWAYS respawn. I'm cool with that but his bike isn't the best for the stunt jumps. It would be nice if there was some way in the menu to indicate that your current vehicle should be considered the 'default' and cause it to respawn if lost. I'm still thinking Vampire Zombie al Zarqawi may be right and that after a bit it may show up in impound. I just haven't had time to play any more this week. Still catching up on the real life shit. Saved while on my bike so far that has worked 100%. when i reload dude is right there, same place, on the bike, (or in the vehicle depending). This time I fucked up the jump and landed in the freeway. dude took damage and was out in the desert far from anything so i just decide to reload instead of going thru all the bullshit. this time dude was at the spot but instead of being on a bike he's standing there holding a thompson submachinegun. so i did all the things trying to get the bike back and then i rage quit with my dude holding his dick out in the desert looking at a long walk back to the hood. Franklin Clinton Franklin Clinton is one of the three protagonists in Grand Theft Auto V, along with Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips. I relate more to Michael I guess cause he is the old white guy. Trevor is fun because he is unashamedly a psychopath so whatever you do is 'in character'. But I don't like playing him because he reminds me too much of the fruitcakes on k5. But Franklin Clinton is my favorite to play because he's the only one that doesn't bitch about everything and the way he rolls his eyes when he hears the mission plans, you know he's like 'you fucks is crazy, but if this be gettin' me paid I'm in'. Oh yes, and peyote now! GTA 4 had better and more involved TV than five. But I do love the Jack Howitzer spot in 5. LOL I saw that on reddit and just laughed my ass off! So it is legal to carry a weapon openly in Texas now. That is very likely the most important decision the Legislature in their infinite wisdom had to make. Hey I fully support the second amendment but seriously, it was so important to allow Billy-Joe Shitkicker the unrestricted right to carry his pistola with him into the Waffle House. Them waitresses will make a man stand his ground. Of course, this comes after the law passed a short while ago to make it legal to carry on School Campuses. Well now our assemblage of arrogant fools have passed another law prohibiting places from preventing people from carrying their gun inside. There Will Be Fines. So, a pharmacist can refuse to sell you a contraceptive if it is against his religion but he cannot refuse you entry to his business if you are carrying a firearm. makes sense to me! THAT was kinda NSFW wasn't it? I mean Headlikeabowlingball was engaged in some freaky kinda kinky head-action with the double-holed diva. Appears that it was a rather painful encounter for him. And like most males he was off and away quickly leaving yellow seemingly slightly puzzled and unsatisfied. That article is vague, contradictory, and full of holes. There is absolutely nothing in the "evidence" he uses that supports the conclusions he has made. The biggest problem is the claim, "Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life--every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart." In actuality we find that life can exist in forms and under conditions that we previously thought impossible. The oceans of Titan for example may host life even though those same oceans are composed of methane and it rains hydrocarbons. Pressures and temperatures on Titan are such that it would be an inhospitable hellscape to us but yet it could support life. He says, "Multiply that single parameter by all the other necessary conditions, and the odds against the universe existing are so heart-stoppingly astronomical that the notion that it all "just happened" defies common sense. It would be like tossing a coin and having it come up heads 10 quintillion times in a row." Yet that result could happen. And in billy-ons and billy-ons, as Carl Sagen like to say, planets in the Universe that could actually happen a fair number of times. It is simply the pitiably small scale of humanity that makes it seem impossible. In fact the greatest disproof of his theory is the existence of Earth and the life thereon itself. To be sure there is the Fermi Paradox. But myself I think that is more of an indication that intelligent life may indeed be rare than for life itself to be rare. And there may be some deficiency in intelligence that leads to self destruction. Here we are in the twenty first century and we are still killing each other over food, fuel, sex, skin color, group affiliation etc. It sometimes makes me wonder if intelligence itself is a form of mental illness. I feel sorry for men like this Eric Metaxas. Obviously he is suffering from a lack of faith in God and is therefore seeking some way to 'prove' God. An empirical way to show that God indeed exists, that God MUST exist or else nothing else would. The man must feel extremely lost, wanting to believe but not having the conviction and thus searching for some evidence to provide support. I think you need to read a little closer. You are assuming that I have made an argument that I have not. I simply showed that a key point in his article is incorrect. It is irrelevant if there is or is not life on Titan. The fact is that it has been shown that it could exist. He claims that life can only exist under very strict parameters. That is false. You also say, "I think the article states how to find an Earth like planet that supports life that we could colonize or find Human-like life on that is intelligent." Did you not read the article to which you posted a link? Are you trolling? Am I biting? Did I leave a mark? Would you like me to kiss it and make it all better? You realise that trolls are not eligible for Rapture? You need to fully acquaint yourself with the relevant T&Cs. That isn't what he says though. He says that life coming about on it's own is virtually impossible so God must exist. I don't know what the fuck you're going on about. Off on some kind of weird tangent. He doesn't say there has to be Intelligent life. He says there are 200 parameters needed to support life. Not Intelligent life just life. He says that since it is so amazing that life exists at all then it MUST be because it was created. That's why I said, you don't seem to have read the fucking article. I can't talk to you if you're just going to make shit up. I guess you are trolling. You just thought, oh I'll link to this God article and see who bites. Just go to r/christianity or r/atheism if you're going to pull that kind of lazy bullshit. I hear they eat that shit up over there. OK, you didn't even read it. You don't want to have an honest discussion about it you just want to twist things up to suit yourself. Fine. Typical Blastar behaviour. I shouldn't have expected anything different. LOL, yeah, the delusional kind You may have a copyright claim against The International Flag of the Earth. It has an obvious Geometric Vision. SEX TAPE!!!! very public thing lol, that and the strangers that want to rub your tummy. Asking if you intend to breast feed. etc etc etc. Epidurals are good, my wife refused hers not becuz of natCB but she saw that BDSM needle. Where do you intend to stick that thing? I don't think so. I don't know if she regretted it but she never got pregnant again. Oh that and inducement. Yeah, Holly, you are going to have a WONDERFUL time! Thank god for women right claes? Cuz if it were up to men to be preggers the human race would've died out long ago. I won't argue with a woman with raging hormones but I really don't know any folks who think of SEX and pregnancy. I mean other than that part is obvious of course. But I do know of uncountable people who believe for whatever reason that they suddenly have liberty to touch, comment upon, give unasked advice etc. I mean just for example me and clase advising epidurals and all that. And we all feel we are experts simply because WE had children and survived (and so did the kids of course but you know, whatever, ungrateful little bastards :) ). Most people, except for the assholes, wouldn't dream about commenting on a strangers appearance or habits, etc. but otherwise normal people just feel like they have license when you are with child. Good Luck I interrupted my Memorial Day Weekend Festivities To tell trane to fucking get a job you lazy bum! And to tell Michael Crawford, Thank you for the invitation but you're not my type. Also, you are completely full of shit. Love you folks! Have a wonderful weekend. Remember, Drive Safely. Seems you can't count on your airbags to save you any more. They are liable to explode in your face maiming and or killing you. Chino Ginelli for President 2016! Full Employment for all (or you get deported) A Chicken in Every Pot and a fashionable pair of trousers in every wardrobe. These fucking ribs are literally falling off the bone. And these beans are to die for. The beer is cold and the vape is hot. I'll see you dudes later on after I regain consciousness. In Memory of my Grandfather Who served honorably and courageously in World War II as a Paratrooper in the Pacific Theatre. He was with MacArthur when the General returned, as he promised he would. Also in Memory of my father in law, an Artillery Master Sgt who served in Korea and VietNam and later went on to train the new recruits as an ass chewing DI in Rolla, Mo. Thank you gentlemen for your service. Ahm about a ten going back in again tho For God and Country! what about it? you talking aboot the canucks? took his advice and stopped working I LOL'd Already done UF TOFU: The Movie Losers do their best Winners go home and fuck the prom queen. That's the one thing I remember from that movie. Thanks for the review. Fell backwards this time huh? Better than when you wake up facedown in that shit. Plz 2 b getting a job so the yellow one is the female right? And I'm deeply disappointed to learn you are not an adorable squishy monster. I think I may have to reconsider my entire worldview. Of them all the yellow one has extra bits that don't seem to serve any particular function compared to the others that have extra bits but use them in some way. I figure her bits must be secondary sexual characteristics. Plus she has two holes. The others are sans holes. I'm devastated but I guess I will manage. that is a little disturbing Not much just a quick observation. So I installed an alternate browser on the tablet due to the default often crashing to homescreen and adblock awesomeness (actually ublock). No big deal. So I set it up, and type in kuro5hin.org. I get as far as the 5 when . . . . . . the suggestion box pops up and the numbero one-o tip top finest kind I'm feeling sofa king lucky suggestion pops up and it is: kuro5hin prostitution So WTF procrasti? You giving rusty a taste or what? Aw hell maybe it's tranes rent boy hugatorium, who knows? And b4 you like, "you do a search to get to k5?" -- No, it's just usually I hit k in the bar and it just fills in the rest. Bookmarks on a tablet are tedious and painful. The browser is firefox for androids btw. It was recommended for not eating every spare bit of ram, important for a mobile device, google should take note. Plus ad on support that I don't have in the bundled browser. It works well, has a retro look and feel and not as smooth. Still worth it if it works for 5 min and blocks ads too. I think I'll make spaghetti this evening. I have fresh garlic and herbs and some homegrown hothouse 'maters. What do you think? There's still a quarter loaf of italian bread even. Hmmm maybe a little salad with oil and a pickled okra. Now I'm getting hungry. Its fucking raining again. But I can't complain. It will be hot and dry soon. Plus, my brother in Denver said it snowed just the other day. Stir is crazy. Fucking republicans are out of their goddamn mind. Everyone rags on liberals and how out of touch we are. But them boys and girls are arguing about some prarie chicken shit they want to shoehorn into the defense bill yet at the same time they don't want to discuss anything related to fighting in Syria because its not appropriate to the subject of defense. What? And then they went and cut funding to science and earth research. Jeb Bush says it ain't needed anyway because climate change is all a liberal plot to screw the Koch brotherz out of their god given return on investment. I have questioned the cause of climate change because like that volcano that went up week before last they said it put out co2 enough for like 5x what comes from all the factories in a year. So I ain't convinced its all on us. Or that we can do anything about it but it's stupid to think it's not happening at all or to deny funding to see if there is something we can do. Oh and them Koch bros is heavy hitters down in texas city and got gov abbott right in their pocket. After West he signed a law making it where people couldn't even ask if there was dangerous chems stored in or near the community. Then today he banned communities from banning fracking. I reckon they're going to start pumping oil on the capitol grounds in austin anyday now. Stick a well or two down there in zilker park and barton springs. Aite then, y'all be good. And remember, ol Mike Crawford is full of shit. He's a bullshitter deluxe. Best roll up your pantsleg whenever you see him mosey over. And the e-Bladder fella we all know as trane? Yeah, he's a no good yellow belly lazy good for nothing bum. That is all an error occurred processing this directive Some kind? Hell, ALL kinds! K5 on tablet isn't bad The browser built into the PSP was probably the most difficult with which to navigate K5 especially trying to post. For me anyways. Actually it looks fine for me on Chrome in Landscape mode. The only problem was subject wasn't capitalized but body was. But there was an upgrade to Chrome and ever since it eats up all the memory on the tablet and crashes out. It makes everything else unstable. Then somebody was talking about Firefox on Android supported the adblock extension. That alone got my attention. There was some other good comments so I figured fuck it lets try it out. So far it works great. Say what do you think about those tests that show the new Windows 10 works better and smoother on MacBooks than OSX? Radical huh? God I hope it's not MDC like people we wouldn't see it till after 2040! Adderall, Coca-Cola & Ice Cream sound like a very delicious treat! Would be even better with a tasty ice-cream topping made from any flavor of Kool Aid except Lemon! That movie Ex Machina I saw it the othernight. It wasn't bad. I enjoyed the totally cold blooded <SPOILER>. I'll just say that not all fairytales end with happily ever after. You know sometimes a caged animal might have to chew off a limb or two to escape. I was just enjoying my spaghetti and browsing when I read the filmmaker put in an Easter Egg in the form of Python code shown on screen. Also, there are tits aplenty. A few full frontals, ass, and a bit of android sexy time. No Russian Mafia tats though sadly. No, Space Opera it is not Very much philosophical, "What does it mean to be human?" "How do you know that you are a human and not a reproduction?" "Would it even make a difference?" That kind of thing. In fact there is a cool scene where Caleb, after finding out just how good Nathan's androids can be and that the model he is testing may not be the final model, goes and slices deep into his arm with a razor to see if he himself might just be a very cleverly designed android. I would say that microdot or blotter can be more philosophical than hash but at least with hash you can remember the logic the next day. I hope you do watch it because I would be interested in reading your review. I know you're a top-ten-percenter LOL, you have no clue. . . But seriously if you want that shit then go out and work for it. Earn it. No listen, I'm not trying to force you into my colonated worldview or whatever. You keep your values. Do it your way. You make the goal. You decide the path and follow it. Maybe you decide to help build housing for low income. Maybe you start your own classes teaching Ruby. Maybe you write a guidebook to the Desert Southwest. Just suggestions you know. Just DO something and earn that which you desire instead of just waiting, hoping maybe someday, the rest of the world is going to change and just hand it to you. For one thing, you will like it better. Really. One thing that holds true is that a man values that which he has either created with his own hands or earned through his own labor. Something that is given doesn't always mean as much. It doesn't carry the same value. Personally I wouldn't care if we we both had the same as each other. As long as we both had enough to meet our needs. But I'm adamantly opposed to just giving it to you for no other reason than that you desire it. I desire many things myself. I don't reckon them Koch brothers are fixing to just divvy up their slush pile any time soon. And I'm not going to sit here on my ass waiting for somebody else to just provide. I figure I would be dead and buried long before that happened. So I do what I can with what I have. And I'm being honest and not trolling you in any way when I say you should do likewise. I thought it was because GOTO I know I like lists and not just on the web. I make lists. But I'm not obsessive, I don't make lists of lists. I think it's pretty obvious why. Lists are easy to make but can convey a lot of information succinctly. There is order which can imply importance. There is the category of the list itself. Grocery List vs Favorite Songs. What is on the list and what is excluded. Lists are like outlines lite. Lists are action oriented. They're quickly scanned. Lists are great. I like some lists on the web mainly for comparison. I want to know how their list compares to the list I would make. To see what made the list and what was excluded. Again it doesn't take much time and I never take any of those lists seriously. They're like horoscopes. Fun and entertaining but I'm not going to plan my day around them. The funniest lists are those Helpful Household Tips list. There is always some time saving tip in there that is absolutely ridiculous or even flat out misinformation. Now about the clickbait links. Let me tell you that it is worse than that Jim. I have mentioned here previously that the local TV stations have started teasing news features and other programming with clickbait style. "You won't believe what this man did in a NC Airport" "Five things that Texas Cities do right" "Our own Pooja Lodhia gives you five reasons to switch your insurance carrier to GEICO" This is spreading and I for one don't like it. It's like people that say Oh Em Gee or El Oh El in actual conversation. FREE ALGO RITHIMS! ALGO IS INNOCENT! Are you referring to the scientist that got pissed at the FAA and hacked the plane to fly sideways? Computer security expert, Chris Roberts hacked into a plane's in-flight entertainment system and made the jet briefly fly sideways by ordering one of the engines to go into climb mode. He was flying on the plane at the time. Roberts told the FBI that he had hacked into planes "15 to 20 times." He overwrote computer code for the planes' thrust management computer, which he told agents allowed him to make the plane climb on his command. Roberts also used software to monitor traffic from the cockpit, according to the search warrant request. Roberts first made news in April when he was told he could not fly on United Airlines because of tweets he had made about whether he could hack into the flight's on board computer settings. Roberts is a well-known and respected expert on computer security. It's all about them algo rhythms baby, feel it in yo bones. Bullshit And then you woke up . . . From what I understand, Roberts manipulates the Inflight Entertainment console, basically bending it back and forth. In short order he can expose some kind of port on the thing that he can physically jack into. And for reasons of cost I suppose,- it is connected to the avionics system. On the Ohio flight in April he was on the plane and tweeted to a colleague what a cool trick it would be to activate the Engine Fire Alarm or something like that. The result of which would have been to cause all of the oxygen masks to suddenly deploy. He's been pulling shit like this for a good while and not just to troll, he's trying to get the airlines to make it where someone can't do what he does. He evidently wrote several letters and made contact with Aviation officials and even the FBI but I guess until Mohammad Alijihad actually makes someones day they are just not interested because those extra baggage fees won't cover the cost to fix it. He got tired of talking and now he's walking the walk. I can respect that on an intellectual level. However, if I was on one of these flights he fucks with I'm pretty sure I would punch him right in the nuts, hard. I wouldn't want to argue against the wisdom of /. I didn't go into it that deep, just what I read in the funny papers. FBI said he did and he admits he did so I figured what the hey. Going back I see that there are "aviation experts" that say what he claims is impossible but then I don't imagine they would want to admit that, "yeah, pretty much any kid with an iPad can take over the plane, LOL, u mad bro?" But I just don't know enough to argue either way. I have an idea it may not be as bulletproof as they claim because I know first hand that no system is invulnerable and management and bean counters conspire to make bad decisions. Think about those electronic voting machines. Absolutely bulletproof except if you happened to have a usb stick. Whoops! On the other hand maybe this guy is looking to sell a book or something. These days who fucking knows what the truth is? It probably lies somewhere in the middle. I will say that the fact he isn't sitting on his ass in a federal prison kind of makes his claim sound a bit of bullshit. I mean I think if most anyone else pulled a stunt like that they would be bending over and told to cough. Thanks for the extra info though. I didn't know what the guy even looked like until I read your reply here and looked at some other articles. I should have guessed though. He could damn near pass for Mike's brother. I wonder if he is a serious Life researcher? if you rtfas He uses a custom ethernet cable. The existence or non existence of the firewall is what is being questioned. The affected airlines and engineers who work for them say it is impossible. But the FBI claims documentation showing that it has been vulnerable for years. But if that is true then why havent they done something about it? And other people are saying that the media is freaking out too much over roberts and not focusing enough attention on the airlines themselves. In addition roberts has also been claiming he has hacked into the ISS. So where does that leave us? Well, I'm pretty sure that chris roberts is a bit of an asshole and probably as nuts as any random kuron. However. The feds are taking him seriously enough that I wonder if the systems are bulletproof. I just thought it was news of the weird but it is starting to grow legs. Again if there is a vuln then good on him for bringing it to everyones attn. I would still kick him in the groin if he fucked around on a flight I was on. Solution: Stop being a bum Yes, I suggest you stop doing that also Stop sucking IgnMFing Cock and Colon. Clean yourself up and get a fucking job you lazy bum. You have abetter link than WND? I'm not even going to click but just call bullshit automatically. You might as well link to a "BAT BOY DISCOVERED LIVING WITH GIANT ALLIGATOR IN NY SEWER" article on The Examiner. Fucking makes the Onion look like a real news outlet. And no, a site that "scours the bowels" is not acceptable. Typical expatriated American. Film at 11:00 Get ready to be constantly stopped by police Only if you is a nigga It's been like . . . shit, ten years? since I was stopped. For not using my turn signal, no ticket just a lecture and the car I was in had expired out-of-state plates even. But then I'm old and I'm white so . . . PRIVILEGE FTW! Bullshit because ppl like to grow things I take it you don't know any farmers or ranchers do you? Like has nothing to do with it. They do it for money and bitch all the time cuase they don't get enough. But you probably imagine hippies with thier own little commie gardens. All peaceful and loving right? Well that is fine but if you expect to eat then you better grab a hoe. If you ain't got no cash then you best be ready to invest some sweat equity. This is a very good example of why TANSTAAFL. You are going to pay and you WILL pay in some form or another. Unless you're a colon parasite. A Thief. Is that what you really are trane-duodenum? A blood-sucking cecum leech? Please to be toungue washing my rectum. He doesn't care about people or animals He's just a lazy bum that cares only for himself. He just wants a handout so he can be shiftless all day. Everything else he says is just noise to distract you from realizing he is no different from the panhandlers you meet on the street. In fact he's worse than they are because they at least shift their ass enough to beg on the street. He can't even be bothered to go to that much effort. You don't know what the fuck I think And you are the coward you bum. You won't talk to anyone, you just "slap your flip-flops hard". You're scared of pussy. And you get sick at the drop of a hat like a little dweeb. Fucking lazy ass no good stinky shiftless parasite bum. See, You don't know shit fucking bum I ain't afraid of losing my job or of my boss. Because I don't work for no one but myself these days. I'm done with all that. And I have never in my life been afraid of my boss. I have always spoken my mind. I have had a boss or two that was afraid of me. So in addition to being a stupid fucking lazy bum you also have your head up your ass. See, you don't know what I beleive. Maybe I'm a fucking criminal and lie my ass off and don't feel it's unethical. Maybe I'm a fucking saint. But I tell you what, you sure as hell don't know. But I do know this, you are a lazy ass good for nothing bum. You have always been a lazy bum and you always will be a lazy bum. Any questions dumbass? If Hitler had sat around getting stoned How do you know he didn't you stupid fuck? You don't do you? You don't have a fucking clue. Old Adolf could've been dropping blotter, snorting lines and toking the chronic and you wouldn't know different. God damn stupid useless lazy stinking thumb-up-your-ass shit-for-brains bum. BUM BUM BUM FUCKING B U M You are assuming I'm making an argument that I am not. Your word salad makes many incorrect assumptions. You are attributing words to me that I did not utter and ascribing values which I do not hold. I don't have a scarcity theory of money. That is someone else you're talking about not me. You claim that there is a surplus of food production but I say the reason we have a surplus is because farmers are competing to make a profit. If we just give it away then farmers will not be encouraged to produce and will instead go into programming and basket weaving and any other trade that they can profit from. You sound like Crawford when he says he needs no help editing since he lived near an editor. Like there is some acquisition of skill and knowledge through proximity. Just because you camp near farmers and watch farmers does not mean that you know farmers. You claim that you grew pot and gave it away. Good for you. However that doesn't scale. Also you already had the benefit of receiving aid so your giving didn't affect you. In the same way I get free eggs. Because many folks around like to have eggs and raise chickens. They give me the extra eggs. I still "pay" for them though. Because I salvage egg cartons for them and return favors for them in other ways. But if tomorrow the govt required them to supply the egg needs for the whole city they couldn't keep up. They would either stop all together or begin to charge to make up for the extra cost, labor, time and work. None of this is esoteric. I'm not an economist or financial wizard. I don't have "theories" or "models". It's fucking simple shit and that even a dumb redneck can understand. Why you can't I haven't a clue. I do understand what you are saying though because I hear it from time to time. Okay. Here is the REAL DEAL trane. You, are a bum. That's it. You're not smart or clever or wise because you took a mooc or know how to code. You're just a god damn bum. Simple as that. You don't want to work. You want to have everything handed to you. You're useless. You're a parasite. You ain't worth a fart in a whirlwind. There is no argument. You have nothing to say. You're frustrated because you know I'm right. You can't even have any self-respect because you are a bum. You may not ride the rails but that's all you are. You can scream Basic Income til you're blue in the face but what you are really saying is 'Brother can you spare a dime?' You say those farmers are the problem and everyone is a colon and all the other shit you spew but in the end, in the cold, harsh light of day you ain't shit dude. You're just another busted ass filthy bum with your hand out. You are the problem because you are a leech on society and you will never contribute because the only person in the world you give a shit about is you and your own comfort. I don't even know how you can look at yourself in the mirror even. I don't know how you can face each day. I know you are intelligent. I know you are aware. Why do you even continue day after day? Don't you just hate yourself? Don't you just disgust yourself? And constantly having to make excuses to try to delude yourself that you have some modicum of self-respect remaining. It's no wonder you feel more comfortable around animals because you very nearly are one yourself. Just filling your basic needs, eating, sleeping and shitting and not much beyond that. You can't stand to be around people, not because they judge you. No, you don't even talk to them. All that anger and disrespect and dismissal you feel is actually your own feelings about yourself. No one judges you more harshly than you judge yourself and you can't stand yourself. That's why you run to the wilderness to try to escape your own mind. Because you know the truth, that you are just a lazy good for nothing bum. All this other shit, the thermo, the econ, the geo, It's all just bullshit. Not 'gossip', bullshit. It's just noise that you make to feel less inadequate. Why do you even keep going? Aren't you just fucking tired by now? Doesn't the whole bullshit just wear you down? Don't you get tired of being alone? All the struggle? Fuck dude, why keep punishing yourself? replacement disc if your scratch it LOL Who buys a disc anymore? You never pay for the media or the software anyway. You are purchasing a license. So nobody buys discs, you download it from Steam or Live or whatever platform. It's all bits now. I know it is kind of assholish of me not to comment on your other points but frankly I just don't understand what you are saying. I mean discussing lost wages relation to mortgage and genocide into video gaming to cattle and I wonder what kind of mushrooms you're taking. That's a fact. US Conservatives Demand "Avengers" Replace Thor with Jesus Republican and Christian groups have voiced concern over a the European Medieval God Thor featured among a team of All-American superheroes in the latest Avenger film. "If Avengers movie absolutely needs to feature a God among them, it should be Jesus Christ and not some eccentric Scandinavian blonde deity," says Madlene Montana, leader of 'Women for Christ' movement in Mississippi, "Why does America get rescued by a European God? We didn't kick Hitler's ass in Europe to be rescued by this Aryan guy." The idea has received strong support from Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. He says that Hollywood may face serious consequences if they do not replace Thor with either Jesus, Chuck Norris, or Ronald Reagan. Even religious leader in exile, Dalai Llama has volunteered to replace Thor. "Well, nobody can deny that I exist... I can use superpowers like... mind-blowing civil disobedience and once-a-century reincarnation technique to annoy the villains to death!" (YES YOU TOTALLY READ THAT IN APU FROM THE SIMPSONS VOICE!) The studio has leaked that strong pressure also comes from the Jewish lobby to replace Iron Man with Moses, but no confirmations have been made yet. At least all religious groups have been able to agree that Hawkeye is totally useless. (RTFA by Sergey Sargsyan at The Politist Jesus, a Carpenter would be skilled with Molinor He would construct a framework of morality to really nail down the Bad guys. Except during Union mandated lunch breaks, religious and secular holidays Jesus was Democrat cuz he campaigned on the back of an ass What kind of superhero would you be? I can see some kurons as superheroes. For instance I would be similar to Cpt America except instead of a cowl I would wear a stetson and instead of a shield I would wield a giant belt buckle. Functionally I would be similar to Impotent Rage from GTAV, extremely liberal despite my conservative upbringing. HollyHopDrive would have magic hoops that worked like Wonder Woman's lasso. They would render any male in a 12' radius irreversibly sterile. If she cast it upon you, instead of being forced to tell the truth you would be reduced to a whimpering pussy-whipped feminist. And like WW she'd sport HUGE TITS! Trane would transform into a bird and have the ability to inundate evildoers with incredibly massive amounts of shit. Crawford would be like Dr Bruce Banner, totally useless until made manic when he transforms into a The WALL-OF-TEXT. Violently smashing Ignorant mother fucking bad guys while pissing himself laughing. Del of course is the God Damn Batman. GOOD JOB You nailed it. I didn't explain it out becuz maybe too soon. But yeah, you're the god damn batman. Sorry man, I just don't have enough backround Those were pretty obvious. To me anyways. I stole the whole thing too lazy for OC. You know, I never have played D&D. tabletop games yes but no D&D. I played Steve Jackson games mostly, GURPS and Car Wars. I did the Star Trek FASA Games. I guess the first sword and sorcery game I enjoyed was Ultima, esp Underworld and Pagan. Not that anyone cares, your reply just kind of made me go 'whoa, wait a minute, how the fuck did I manage to not do that?' Sounds like a new comic book series Marvel will make a mint. Fuck that cripple I always assumed adolescence was a mental disease caused by testosterone or estrogen. I know when I was an adolescent there wasn't any virtual leisures, unless you want to count PONG. But for several years there I was nothing more than a walking penis. Did consume massive amounts of media, like National Geographic and the SEARS & ROEBUCK Catalog. Aw hell, Think about the levels of radioactivity pre WWII compared to post WWII. Crazy. All those tests. Then pesticides. Shit we had back in the day you can't even buy these days. Pollution levels. Drugs. (Not the happy kind just in general). GM EVERYTHING. FUCK, I guess we should feel LUCKY. Surprised we aren't having a rash of 80lb three-headed web-footed infant mutants. And we may have to start wondering about the wildlife. I wonder how you would tell if a wild bird or mammal was suffering from mental illness? I don't know if they could associate depression with suicide. Like humans "know", I don't like this shit I will kill myself. But animals I would imagine wouldn't understand the concept of "Kill Myself". Rather I suspect they would either just stop eating or doing anything and become weak eventually dieing. Or they would become like hyper-aggressive, attacking everything. Do you accept that birds are descendants of dinosaurs or is that just colon waving scarcity thinking? Should birds be given an esophageal basic income anal sphincter? If there is magic then it's Fantasy Unless everyone is actually in like The Matrix. I know, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." But then it is still tech. If anybody is doing Abracadabra shit then its fantasy. Not that there is anything wrong with that It's bad enough Sci Fi aficionados have to share the niche with Fantasy we don't need to be all consanguineous with it. Ok, well like Excession Probably most of the tech in that tale is pretty much uh, impossible. But it is still tech and so Science Fiction. On the other hand in the video game series The Elder Scrolls, 'magicka' or magic energy is produced in a dimension known as the Plane of Aetherius and flows through Magnus (the Sun) onto the planet Nirn and can be stored and manipulated by anyone (although some races tend to be more proficient) with the proper training. The Dwemer nation used this energy to animate a giant robot known as Numidium which Tiber Septim used to subjugate all of Tamriel. The destruction of Numidium released so much energy it caused a space-time anomaly which forced several alternate timelines to merge and be reality simultaneously. But even with all that tech TES still remains a Fantasy. That is more speculative fiction not science fiction. The term 'science' is key. And just because it won the Nebula doesn't make it Science Fiction either. Science Fiction has had to share space with Fantasy and other types of tales that just don't fit anywhere. For example, the series Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey is considered must-read classic science fiction and has won Hugos and Nebulas. Why do bikers form gangs? To fuck shit up evidently. Five rival biker gangs gathered at Twin Peaks restaurant (A sports-bar chain where scantily clad waitresses serve American comfort food.) in Waco. There was a little bit of stabbing, a little bit of shooting, a little bit of beating, a little bit of death. Nine were killed. Eighteen injured and One hundred and seventy are in custody. A Union of Fools if I ever saw one. ABC 13 Police were on alert Monday for any retaliatory attacks after a chaotic shootout between rival biker gangs left nine people dead and at least 18 more wounded outside a Texas restaurant. Waco News Bullet-riddled vehicles left behind by customers and employees still sat in the parking lot between Twin Peaks and Don Carlos restaurant but were being moved to forensic laboratories for investigation Monday morning. Local law enforcement officers said they remain on edge in an effort to prevent any more violence. Don't Mess with Texas I don't know, that's what they had on the news Biker Gangs NOT Motorcycle clubs Actually we DO have motorcycle clubs here. My grandparents were members (that was a while back like 75 or so). But the people in them were kind of like the people that you find in a KOA camp. In fact, I kinda think if you said motorcycle club to one of these guys face I don't imagine you would continue to be happy. This is Texas after all. We don't truck with political correctness like they do on the other coasts. food chain does not imply scarcity at all you're quite a daft duodenum. It is simply a 'chain' of consumption jejunum. Worms eat dirt, birds eat worms, etc. till you get to the creature that is not preyed upon vas deferens. The "TOP" of the food "chain" It says nothing at all about common bile duct scarcity or abundance. You need to remove your head from your own colon there urethra. Just show you're smarter than the avg Canuck A taste for maple syrup is helpful but not mandatory. Someone should warn our own resident King. and where is the Burger King? I never trusted him. Sofa King Hilarious And once again you got fucked. Damn but your failure reaches almost Crawfordian levels of epic failfuckedness. Go ahead, call me a colon. I understand. For someone whose life is as shitty as yours everything must look like an asshole viewed from the inside out. I think it makes claes uncomfortable to think about women and periods in general. He also doesn't like to acknowledge that they fart and poop too. TMI! TMI! What a Bubblehead person might look like . . . FUCK! Shit! Stack! You're a bigoted homophobic stupidhead I don't know nor care about British Poleeticks, I am aware of it but I'm also aware of the Quadstack Angus burger but I don't see how it is relevant to me. But I certainly agree with you that you are a bigoted homophobic stupidhead. I'm glad you finally acknowledge it. Attn: Crawfail, take a flying fuck at a rolling donut So a while back I posted a diary about paid mods for PC games. Now I know they exist and in many cases they are a benefit to both the game and the community they serve. Recently Rockstar released the PC port for Grand Theft Auto V. PC Gamers have waited patiently for this release for two years now. They expected ultra realistic graphics and improved game play. They got that and more. But the big thing they wanted with all their hearts was PC Mods. Making mods wasn't easy. GTA is not very mod friendly. The game files are encrypted and no real assistance is available. But even so it wasn't long before it was cracked and mods began appearing. Most of the mods that I have seen so far are a bit dumb. Like a mod that changes your bullets to vehicles. So when you fire, cars fly out of your weapon. There is a mod that lets you play as a fire-breathing cat. One of the more popular mods is called Angry Planes. You know, like Angry Birds. Planes spawn and attack. The same author has another mod called No Clip which is also insanely popular. Well it was revealed the other day that both of these mods come with a keylogger. So hundreds, maybe thousands of gamers have installed a nice piece of malware along with their game.' Imagine if these mods were paid for. What could you do? The game companies don't support the mods since they are user created. They just get their cut. How would you go about getting your money refunded? Of course the same problem exists now with mods not being charged for. However, in this case it is on the gamer that installs the mod. But if pay for mods become common, and I think the industry will move in that direction just like pay to play and paid dlc. It's just a matter of time. But the companies will not be able to just wash their hands of any bad behaviour on the part of the mod just because they didn't create it. If money changes hands and they get a cut then people will expect more from them. LOL. Thats some funny shit. First because the hat, that traffic cone, means the gamer has been placed on a special server just for griefers. That is a dunce cap. So the non-dunce cap wearing peds are NPCs. No one gets violated except non player characters. Second, most of the "females" are actually dudes running female chars. This is just sensationalism like the shit fox used to do about 4chan and anonymous. I guess when hillary is president she'll ban it. She tried to get GTA:SA banned for the Hot Coffee mod when she was a sen. That is one bad thing about supporting liberals I'll admit. They get there panties in a twist too easy. Conservatives watch this piece and ask, "Do that mean I kin rape a woman in that there game?" and run down and buy a copy. Even the conservative females go rush to get themselves a copy so they can be suitably shocked and appalled. Yeah they been talking about that on reddit If conservatives are elected then every able bodied person will be required to own a gun. You will be required to speak English ONLY. Spanish and French will get you sent to Guantanamo. You will be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the Star Spangled Banner every morning at school and at work. In the evening you will be required to stand for TAPS. You will be able to say anything you like except if it offends a bank, corporation or the Republican Party. The national animal will be changed from the Bald Eagle to the Elephant. All social services will be cut. It will be illegal to be poor. Unless you have a slave labor card, then you can work for the wealthy for a buck and a quarter a day. All wildlife areas will be sold to private developers. In fact all government services will become privatized and for profit. No regulations whatever the market will bear. Only authorized Christian religions will be allowed. Any other religions will be banned. All drugs, even Tylenol will be banned, only Alcohol and Tobacco allowed. Mental patients will be deported to antarctica. It will be Morning in America from sea to shining sea. WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA? Look, you got a choice. OK? Vanilla or Chocolate. That should be good enough for anybody. All you fruits wanting your damn strawberry, and your pistachio and banana and rocky road and caramel swirl and all them other flavors, well that just AINT AMERICAN. AINT BEEN SINCE THE CIVIL WAR! You is either fer us or agin us. No middle ground. You is either Union or Confederate. Hot or Cold, White or Black, Night or Day. This is America boy and we don't cotton to subtleties. Listen, let's get back to what's really important Cease and desist with the political butthurt and get back to talking about games. Specifically Games and Modding. K? I saw that earlier I don't really get it. Yes, I played the game, LOVED IT! but I don't 'get' the cartoon. I see what happens, but I don't know where the humor is or why the boss guy looks so pissed when he suggests Portal. And he is still pissed when the guy comes back. Maybe I'm missing something . . . Now here's some funny shit Say hello to Howard. You Don't Surf - Dank ass memes. I see you were inspired by the crawcock post concerning dune buggies left behind on the earth by jfk. Now that would be funny, the grobbles being attacked by a huge crawcock. This should make you feel better "You BB-Q'd my MOTHER! Now you will pay!" Didn't get that Blasterbegone working I see I tell you what, I sure as hell wouldn't hire you. Not in any programming or IT related position for damn sure. If a superior tried to hire you on I would do anything I could to torpedo your application. Now maybe I would hire you as a janitor. You could work nights and I reckon you could pick up the proper use of a plunger and mop with just a few minutes. You don't seem to be qualified for much else. What if you gave those guys . . . they wouldn't care and they would STILL try to execute your lilly white American ass. Yeah, Mother Fucker, Wassup Nigga?. Politely? Like I dare you to arrest me goatfucker? We have it on tape how you talk about the five-oh. If you would quit eating your boyfriends asshole you wouldn't be getting that human gut flora. Hey man you still unemployed? No I have a job, I'm just having trouble finding paying work. I don't think that qualifies as not being unemployed. Oh no no, I'm not unemployed . . . I AM FUNEMPLOYED! What am I doing with my life?" Yeah I already read all that. I read most everything. It's more entertaining than the back of the cereal box. Git 'R Done! Don't reckon he's much concerned over the ethics or morals of companies like Amazon. But I TELL YOU WHAT, he ain't neither cold nor hungry for damn sure. Hey! He ain't no Hippie! He was a scout and earned himself a Merit Badge! He went to Caltech! His father was in the NAVY! Steve Jobs he ain't. Yes I did, whatever was I thinking? Why I make it a habit to visit each of those MANY companies websites to download all the myriad ethical software available that is productive while being aesthetically pleasing and saves energy to boot! the cows and the chickens and the pigs do not make good neighbors. They tear up the garden and shit everywhere Wow, this is moving from something mildly interesting to something that could potentially be useful to social media focused and advertising companies. BTW, I read everything on k5, even MDCs Wall-o-Texts. It's an obsession, I can't help it. Dune buggies on the ITYM Moon? Not to mention, flags, large chunks of landing stages, bags of trash, golf balls, and assorted other flotsam and jetsam. But yeah. We don't even have a shuttle anymore and have to hitch rides with the Russians! Imagine what your Naval Dad would have to say about THAT! end of civilization as we know it What is next? Fucking spoons? Goddamn, next thing you know they'll be pissing standing up! I believe a number of Democrats are concerned that she is running practically unopposed for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Most feel that she will win the nomination regardless but they feel that issues relevant to dems may not make it into the national discourse. Also that Ms Clinton will not be 'seasoned' for the real Presidential Campaign if she doesn't have a serious contender. There was a very strong campaign to virtually "draft" Sen Elizabeth Warren. Unfortunately, I think those potential democratic campaigners that ARE serious believe that it would be a waste of time and money to attempt to run against her for the nomination. You are correct that it is still a loooong road to the actual campaign and the election. Personally, I can only hope that the crop of republican suitors torpedo themselves like they did in the last presidential campaign. The midterms just recently past show that the country is definitely leaning conservative. And there are a few republican candidates that if nominated have a very good chance of getting elected. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio. I wouldn't discount any of them. Ted Cruz is known by members of his own party As the most hated man in congress. Go ahead, google 'most hated man in congress'. Its a truely bipartisan thing. Another way to knock down a wall is with TNT It is straightforward, unambiguous and completely bypasses all that traditional 'ownership' business. Of course being an old person I understand that I am part of the problem. However, unlike most of my contemporaries I have faith in the youth. Maybe not the current youth because they are still locked down and caught up in the culture we created. But I am seeing cracks in the edifice, ghosts in the machine. And the youth of the future I feel are going to reject our broken systems and repurpose things into a new configuration that will be quite different from the reality we experience today. We'll never know. Because we weren't there and weren't party to the goings on. Plus a lot of this sounds like Monday morning armchair quarter backing. Life is messy and not always logical and the people involved often lie for numerous reasons, to save face, to embarass, just because. I find it hard to believe that Pakistan did not know that bin Laden was hiding in their midst. Perhaps they did intend to turn him over at some time. A time they could use to milk his value for whatever they might desire. Or maybe they enjoyed being able to have him there virtually thumbing their noses at the Arrogant Imperial Americans. I do not believe however that Pakistan was aware of our Raid. I think if they had some knowledge of it they probably dismissed it as rumor and unlikely. The silly Americans can't even successfully prosecute a war without constantly shooting themselves in the foot. Plus they prefer using bots because it gives them the feeling of separation from responsibility. But I feel like the Raid, if it had been orchestrated among the PTB would have been much more clean. It was amazingly successful but it wasn't a clean by the numbers ready for primetime operation. I think we did indeed take them by surprise and succeeded despite the mistakes that were made. IOW we got lucky. But again, who knows? This is just my take on it and who am I? Not anyone of any consequence. Hell I don't even know if Obama really knows the whole story. Besides, by the time he was killed, Osama had become a non entity. He was more of a symbol than a man. Even the feeling of 'getting revenge for 9-11' fell kind of flat. I don't recall any dancing in the streets or anything. Not anything like the day Hitler shot himself for sure. But that is some folks bread and butter. Continually stirring the pot for IDK, whatever. Like the Nazis. They pulled that guy, he was like 98 or something and was a clerk at Auschwitz and a few months ago they hauled him up in court. Jews were like, 'Oh this is a great day for Justice.' Fuck man, yeah, Holocaust was terrible but shit that happened in a whole nother world. Now you got some senile old fart that has to wear a diaper and you're all. BURN THE NAZI. Fucker is one broken hip away from the grave already. It's unreal. You may be right Its not like we have a body or anything huh? Myself I always thought he was dead. A dead MIA Osama was worth much more PR wise than a feeble old man hiding in a cave. And if needed he could always become a martyr if they just held on to his remains. I'm not saying that is what I think or anything, just saying It's Possible. I have a watch cap When I wear it people call me Osama because of the beard and cap. IDK, that's what they call me anyways They'll be all like, "Check out the Osama motherfucker over there." and "Hey wassup Osama? How's it hanging?" I don't have a clue. That's fucking funny as hell. The fundamental point is that with UBI the only qualification is that you are a citizen. Everyone has to get the UBI. It doesn't work otherwise. If you target it at one group or another no matter how 'inclusive' that group is it will not work. It will be just trading one fucked up program for another. Perhaps 'politically' it would be best to start with something we already have and expand it. Like Obamacare expanding Medicaid which works great except in the 13 states that sued the government to not expand it. In those states Obamacare doesn't exist and millions do not get the health coverage they need. That exact thing would happen if we expand EIC. But then it will never get done right? Well tell that to the homosexuals and the pot smokers. It would have been more political if they had accepted Civil Unions rather than go for full bore marriage. It would have been more political to accept decriminalization and then medical before they went to full blown legalization. Your job can be automated. And it will be. It is not a matter of if but when. You as a small businessman will not be able to compete. You are already feeling the pressure am I not correct? AAnd when the time comes you will be wishing that you had a UBI as a safety net. It won't be a just an esoteric argument on the net when it begins to affect YOUR rice bowl. I imagine the older ones do indeed I have spoken about my grandfather here before, a paratrooper in the pacific. He had a deep and abiding HATE for the Japanese and everything associated with it. Understandable I suppose when those folks had tried their best to kill him every chance they got. Still, i live with prejudice all the time. This is the South after all. But what he felt went beyond just racism and was very deep and dark. One day we had a fellow and his family visiting from Japan. The old man was a contemporary of my grandfathers and they nearly came to blows over some minor thing. I could tell that man hated Americans every bit as much as my grandfather hated the Japanese. Also , I seem to recall not too long ago a prominent Japanese official visiting a war memorial and honoring Japanese soldiers that it had become somewhat taboo to honor. He didn't give a shit. So yes, I also feel that some of the older ones do indeed hold a grudge against the US. Yes, we ALL have a lot to learn from each others mistakes. Can we rise above our own hubris to do so? I think it may be that way here soon The candidates have to raise and spend so much money these days with PACs and SUPERPACs that it won't be long before it will be cheaper to just pay the voters in key states and the one that spends the most $$$ gets elected. Sure it is illegal as hell but since September of 2001 when has illegal or unconstitutional stopped them from doing anything?? Old News, BUT The Governor has already called out the Guard to, "keep an eye on" the special forces troops coming so to protect our property and constitutional rights. You know nothing whatsoever could go wrong with that plan. It sounds like you don't care much for it I would suggest craigslist (or ebay or other similar site) I don't know but expect that apple shit holds value. Then use the money to buy a proper android tablet or just spend it on hookers and blow. It seems that sideloading can be accomplished I don't think it is easily done. I have no idea about the SDK. I can tell you from my own perspective that the biggest deal breaker is that eventually you would be forced to install the malware known as iTunes to manage your media. Not Even Once! Your privacy is fucked regardless You want privacy? Stay off the fucking Internet. From the minute you connect you got your ISP sharing your data (Oh NOES Comcast/AT&T/Verizon/TimeWarner/ET.AL Would NEVER do that!) and tracking your shit, near every website, FB & Twitter, Google, etc. Then you got the NSA who probably has a backdoor installed in your friggin router. You may as well just operate with the Idea that everything you do and say can and WILL be used against you. OR you can jump through hoops, VPNs, proxies (all of which are ALSO probably snooping on you) and THINKING your safe & secure until your little world comes crashing around your ears. Good luck with THAT! And besides, do you have a BETTER alternative? No? Then SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE. Android is better in that you can purchase a device that you can at least have some control over. You can add storage, sideload shit and do what you want with the apps you want rather than being dictated what when and where. Fanbois just get on my tits. PeaZip Used peazip yesterday on my debian installation, to avoid installing wine to run winrar. yes I have unrar and unar but i have grown lazy and prefer a gui. Hate to sound like trane here but . . . Solution: Universal Basic Fucking Income. And money spent on better housing options and education rather than Bombs For Brown People and Billion dollar foreign "Aid" packages. Look dude, there ain't no silver bullet any plan someone comes up with someone else can shoot holes in it. But UBI is the better than the system we have now (where they just get marginalized, ignored and incarcerated. And from what I see it is the best plan going so far. And there would have to be other things done also, like spend money on education, and housing. But I get sick and tired of folks that basically say, "Hey, it might not work so well over in this fringe area. Even if it would help 60% more people than the current program that would be better than throwing our hands up in the air and crying, 'Fuck it, it is what it is so what the hell can we do?' And there is more than just homeless that need help.m There are a bunch of what are called 'The Working poor' They used to be able to move up into middle class but fuck that now, and the middle class that is slowly disintegrating into more Working Poor. But hell, fuck 'em right? they got to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and shit just raise the minimum wage that ought to be good enough. But God forbid we don't send money to help out the people in Kuntakintastan. Or spend another B or T for some smart missiles. Can't have that, even though our veterans can't get medical care and be on food stamps. Even though we have our own people needing help just as bad. Aw well, I'm too old to give a shit anymore. I reckon it's the youngsters problem. Maybe they'll have more sense than we did. My point exactly and more concise as well. I'm admittedly Gay4Crawford but I don't even follow him on Twitter! However, I can definitely understand the "Why?". That right there is comedy gold. Yeah, yeah. Taken by itself and out-of-context it appears pretty creepy on Del's part and overall kind of sad. But when taken all together with Mike's other output it is funny as fuck. Or maybe I just have a demented sense of humor, who knows? And before SJWs say, "Oh yeah, make fun of the mentally ill guy! So fun!" I have to say that Mike is one in a million, damn the torpedoes kind of dude. So it's not like making fun of the dumbshits like the other two stooges. Rather it is more, "Wow, what will he do next!?" At least for me anyways. Do you work for a living? Your job should reflect who you are and you should be successful doing it. Of course you could do your job yourself, but actually working, producing, creating, building are all full time jobs in themselves. Wouldn't it be better if you could do the stuff you care about and have all that other stuff just . . . happen? Wouldn't it be better if jobs just . . . worked themselves? Now they do. It's called The Buzz. The Buzz is a synergistic coordination of Artificial Intelligence, The Cloud, Social Media Crowdsourcing, and Fundamental Core Competencies. No job titles, no supervisors, no paychecks. Just tell the Buzz what you want done and it does it. Autonomous and Automatic. Over time the Buzz will know what you want done before you know yourself and it will evolve and adjust, perfectly. Doing everything you used to do and more. It's as easy as that. Actually it's incredibly complicated but The Buzz figures it out so you don't have to. And when each of us is replaced by our own personal Buzz then that will be the start of a beautiful world. A world that no longer requires you in it. Make yourself redundant, with The Buzz. And then go kill yourself. You will not be missed. The Buzz will keep a few lucky individuals For I have no mouth, and I must scream. Most of the commercial web sites * look pretty much the same (like crap) * act pretty much the same (slow as molasses) * and are pretty good if you want to find a specific product (as long as it is in the FEATURED PRODUCT list) In Corporate America AI rents YOU! The act of secession is just another way to say "We declare our Independence." Oftentimes there is some violence involved. Sometimes, like during the collapse of the Soviet Union it is just a matter of saying bye-bye now. I mean if they are wanting to secede from the EU do you think the other member countries would invade in order to force them to stay? That would get complicated because I am sure that we would be deeply involved since we have allies on both sides. But that is probably why it won't happen. Just like the House Republicans here often pass bills that they know will not be signed into law or even make it past the senate, just doing it helps them to appeal to their base. They can make a lot of noise about secession and that appeals to their supporters while knowing full well that actually doing so would be problematic at best. I am pretty familiar with it because our Governor and some of the good ol' boys in Austin make a lot of noise about Texas seceding from the US everytime Obama opens his mouth. They know it ain't gonna happen but it appeals to a lot rednecks and helps get the vote. Sorry, I just assumed since it was uk parliament that obviously they would desire to secede from the EU. Leave it to Conservatives to want to secede from themselves. I have to admit I am only peripherally aware of the election. I knew it was occurring and that it was a close call between Labour and Conservatives. But I am mostly oblivious of the specifics. The UK is a lot like Kuro5hin.org. It used to be a strong and influential country with global significance. But now it is just a tiny island nation populated primarily by the mentally ill and trolls. British and Australian are the 'sexy and exotic' accents that Americans can still understand. Indians are certainly exotic and often sexy Nothing wrong with "appreciation of diverse culture" right? ;) The only thing is most folks I know claim they can't understand them. But then most folks I know are rednecks and they don't get it that a lot of regular folk don't understand THEM when they speak. "Ahm a fixxin ta hedup ta wallywhorl ya wanannathin?"

Top Post This is why you don't "It's like taking the bar exam . . . . . . at Coachella" Joss Whedon says that it wasn't backlash from feminists that forced him to quit Twitter. "The inference that feminism drove me offline is horseshit." "Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That's something I'm used to." "I just have a desire to step back into a more creative space. I just thought, Wait a minute, if I'm going to start writing again, I have to go to the quiet place." "The moment I joined, oh my God, what a responsibility. This is enormous work - very fun, but it really started to take up a huge amount of my head space. I'm making a movie, I got a responsibility, this job doesn't pay very well. It's a fascinating medium, it's a fascinating social phenomenon. People are like, `It's like a drug.' Yeah, and it's like a job. It's just another art form. Until I have a script I truly believe in or a tweet that's really remarkable, I can just walk away and get back to the storytelling I need to do." I've spent entire days going around that cycle.

But yes, I understand what you mean about forums and comment sections that require facebook to post. The sites that use your facebook acct scare me. I mean not like in FEAR or anything but somewhat concerned. A lot of them are starting to link without getting any permission. I guess they just do a search or request or something. I noticed that a lot of sites I had never been to before and never posted in were displaying my facebook profile picture automatically. The other day I wanted to disconnect FB from Skype because all my FB Chat msgs were being duplicated in my Skype app. So I go in and surprise! There in my settings were 17 websites that I had never given permission to connect that had me logged in through FB! Hi, I'm broke and jealous, hug me. I don't think such a beast exists There is too much going on in the world so at the outset someone first has to decide, "What is news?" Just the act of choosing what to report on and what to ignore biases the output. The only thing one can do is to use multiple sources and to keep their bias in mind. Or just find an outlet that shares your own bias and make yourself comfortable. 99% of this shit won't even matter in a few years except to kids taking their history exam. Yeah, didn't they pick up those genes from raping the indigenous indian population of the Americas? Bill Gates? Bill is full time Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He doesn't do any hiring. We have about an even split black and white males. females are a minority true but all of ours are quite capable. No H1-B's although there are many of Indo-europeans descent. I think the biggest discrimination is based on age. We skew heavily towards young people and I can't recall the last time anyone over 40 was even considered for hiring. Remember Sgt York? He used to give mice diseases and then dissect them to see the effects. Sometimes he would blend them up to test the juice. Then I recall him doing experiments where they would graft lungs and other shit to the mices backs. That was awesome wasn't it? Don't you just love the idea of injecting some fluffy bunny rabbit with an extremely aggressive disease. Taking notes as it becomes sick and progresses through the stages of fever and aches, diarrhea, dementia, eventually to die choking on its own phlegm and vomit as it wades in its own feces. Then to dissect it and test until you finally toss the broken and used carcass in the incinerator like so much garbage. Don't you love it? It's like better than crack huh? I just fed two live mice to my friends pet snake It was awesome watching them run around the enclosure desperately seeking a way out. They made little 'peep' 'peep' sounds as they sensed their imminent doom. The snake didn't take them out right away either so they had lots of time to be stressed out and scared. But there was no where for them to go and eventually they became snake chow. Would you like me to send you the video? You would love it man. I bet it would get your little dick hard.

I'm glad they were killed before they systematically murdered a bunch of innocents. I don't think these guys were "law-abiding individuals" encouraged by the FBI to take terrorist action. Psssss THUNK! Psssss THUNK! You should go downstairs and help them. Operating a nailgun can be quite cathartic. There was a story posted about what MDC would be like if he was in charge. it wasn't pretty. I don't think the people of Singapore really deserve that no matter what atrocities they have committed. Thank you for the review I really enjoyed Sword Art Online. I will definitely check out this Log Horizon. I am certainly no fan of Bleach though. I am liking the Ghost in the Shell:Arise reboot. Imagine if that was live action made in Hollywood They would chop it up into three, maybe four 2.5hr sequels. They would drop whole characters and any development of said characters. They would throw a bunch of CGI and SFX at it and release it in conjunction with a line of merchandise and a buggy video game. Why Not Bleach? Sounds weird but to me it is too Americanized. I dislike DBZ for the same reason. Also I mostly prefer themes that involve technologies, not so much the GIANT ROBOTS that is a common trope but AI, androids, spaceships, computers, that kind of thing. I agree with you about SAO. It was a bit sappy but it did so in a cute way, IMHO. I was drawn in by the Virtual Reality Gaming World but I actually got caught up more in the relationship stuff. Like Kirito and Asuna, his sister Kirigaya Suguha being madly in love with him, and the other girls that fell into his influence and desired him. The webisode that had the girls gossiping about Kirito and relating their sexual histories was pretty funny. I thought the world of Aincrad and Alfheim were very well realized with lots of incidental information about the rules and how things worked. I feel like a lot of thought went into it even if the overall storyline was a stereotypical one. However, that is common in Japanese culture. There are a handful of 'traditional' stories that are revisited in different media. I got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell. Proof that you are in the Matrix Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? There is no spoon. Programming is inherently corrupt according to Crawford In WWII My grandfather was a paratrooper in the Pacific. He had a pet monkey that he caught and tamed. He taught it to steal cigarettes. My grandfather did not smoke but would instead sell the cigarettes to the servicemen. One time they were on an island when the Japanese attacked. They were in the jungle defending themselves for several days without supplies. One day they were so hungry that they killed and ate the monkey. Grampa said it tasted like chicken. We don't want that wetback up here. We just got through celebrating the 179th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto back on the 21st. The day Gen Sam Houston whupped that beaner's ass. Fuck that asshole and fuck you for suggesting it. Plug it in to Aunt Peggy's Computer See what happens. Maybe you should at least edit that? I mean you claim that your most important work is your writing not your software correct? That appears to be a serious date bug you got there. Gives the impression of a sloppy tradesman.I notice several of your internal links don't actually resolve either. I notice because I was thinking about compiling some of that into an ebook for you. It's just my opinion but I question how anyone would take you seriously when your website is in such a disarray. You're probably right He'll go on for hours about how Microsoft's Webserver is misconfigured and how kids these days can't code their way out of a wet paper bag. Yet he can't be bothered to tidy up his own little slice of the net. Like I said, I don't know how he expects anyone to take him seriously. I mean how can one be a super debugger software engineer if they can't even master a simple text editor? Most folks have never had a Ren Faire Wedding but that never stopped us. Which kuron ate a skunk? Grobbles are kind of cute But there should have been more blood and disfigurement. And which one is me? That yellow one looks like mumble. Sometimes I *wish* I was crazy . . . at least then I'd have a good excuse! BREAKING, TEXAS UNDER SEIGE Blastar was right This morning aproximately 1200 members of special forces including Green Berets and Navy Seals have invaded Texas. Under the designation Jade Helm 15 the Obama administration is confiscating weapons and tossing political dissidents (conservatives) into FEMA camps. Governor Greg Abbott has mobilized the Texas National Guard but it appears there will be little they can do. Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have reached out to the Pentagon in an effort to halt this military advance. The administration released a press report saying that this action was necessary to protect National Security. The former State of Texas will become a territory under the direct control of the White House. A similar action has been planned for the State of Utah. Both states have been designated hostile territory by the Dept of Defense. This is tdillo, live from an undisclosed location south west of Houston. I will keep you posted with any new details. I tell you it is like Baltimore and Ferguson but with white people... San Antonio has already fallen. People in the streets of Houston are calling "Remember the Alamo! Remember Hemisphere Plaza and the Lone Star brewery! Screw Shamu!" Pitched battles are taking place in Gonzales, Yoakum and La Grange. They are marching down I-10 and rolling north up 35 towards the Capitol. Thanks but I think I'll be okay being a liberal socialist democrat and all. About those drones though, people may think you're kidding but every public department in Houston operates drones. Seriously. Even the fire department and animal control! One of those walmarts is just 50mi from my house. they laid off over 400 employees and closed with no prior warning citing 'plumbing problems'. No one knows how long they will be shut down. You can barely find parking at the walmart here because everyone is coming here now since all these walmarts are closing up for 'maintenance'. there is always a line at the pharmacy and it is just nuts! Walmarts never close down That's because Obama isn't invading Missouri! Too many Democrats there. That and St Louis maybe Jefferson City is Red but who listens to them anyhow? Anyways, Barry Soetoro has too many brothers from other mothers in the Show Me (the money) state to start crackin' heads. So ya'll are safe from the New World Order for now. We'll just have to wait til Prince Barack is crowned Emperor of Colombia to find out what is next. Too late for me and with the voter id laws in texas you have to show a state-issued picture id or dl. they don't just look at it either. there is a magnetic strip on the back just like on a credit card. they swipe it through a card reader and the info comes up on the computer. our ballots are like scantrons and they get fed into a big machine when you're done. if you get arrested they take a dna swab along with fingerprints and mugshot now.all the people that collect welfare are also fingerprinted. i don't know if they collect dna also though. the texas dmv will probably be using biometrics soon too. They even watch you as you masturbate! LOL, Mine doesn't even HAVE a light. Mother Fuckers don't give a SHIT. the more extreme their views The Bible says, "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes." Nobody is evil in their own mind. Likewise, no man believes his views are extreme. To him they are rational and make perfect sense. It is everyone else that is extreme. But I can get behind an ad campaign based on those Meth ads. "Voting. Not Even Once" "You wouldn't give your money to that stranger and let him and his buddies tell you what to do. You would if you Vote. Voting. Not Even Once" Actually there is a campaign in texas trying to convince college students that they shouldn't bother to vote. You know 'You have too much important stuff to worry about and besides voting is so uncool and nerdy. You have plenty of time to vote later in life." And the whole idea behind the voter id laws here is to prevent low income (ie black people) from voting. I mean they say it is to prevent voter fraud but nobody buys that. There have only been two cases of voter fraud like ever. Of course this is to keep potential DEMOCRATS from voting rather than the right but it is pretty surreal. Lots of inaccurate info like they send emails to registered liberal voters giving incorrect polling dates and locations. I tell you it is pretty fucked up. Yeah and that is pretty much illegal now Like churches used to get a bus and go around picking up elderly and those that didn''t have transportation and take them to the polls. That's against the law now. Voter registration drives aren't actually illegal yet but you can only do it during a narrow window and IDK there are a bunch of hoops to jump through. This last state election my wife, she votes by mail, her ballot was rejected because they claimed her signature wasn't exactly the same as what they had on file. this is powered by microwaves What makes it unique is that the chamber is closed. There is no thrust. By all the laws of physics it should not work. Yet it seems to. Nasa is investigating. Just google em drive. It is a hot topic atm. IDK but it will make the Kessel Run In less than twelve parsecs. One thing I don't undersstand Do the dilithium crystals go inside the chamber or are they connected to the microwave transmitter? People aren't always Rational There was a blonde that applied for the job. She was an excellent typist but couldn't file. The brunette could file and take dictation and made a wicked cup of coffee but she couldn't type to save her ass. The redhead had great phone manners and could type well. She was also self motivated and needed little instruction. So which woman was hired? The one with the biggest tits of course! Was looking at that yesterday Decided to give it a pass. Guess I'm glad I did. Thank you for the excellent review. Movies here are $5 adult and $3 for children except matinees (before 6pm) when all tickets are $3. LOL Our local Cinema. But I seldom go. I have a very comfortable couch, a good sound system, a big screen TV and a fridge full of snacks and beer. Add broadband Internet and who wants to go see a film in a dark room with a bunch of strangers busy on their cell phones? Yeah, I know, I know, I'm the cancer killing the movie industry. LIKE WHEN THEY PUT YOU IN THE BACK OF THE SQUAD CAR WITH YOUR HANDS CUFFED BEHIND YOUR BACK AND ALONG THE WAY AN OFFICER SAYS, 'LOOK OUT FOR THAT DOG!' AND THE DRIVER SLAMS ON THE BRAKES CAUSING YOUR FACE TO COME INTO SUDDEN AND VIOLENT CONTACT WITH THE "CAGE" THAT SEPARATES THE BACK SEAT FROM THE FRONT. OH MY BAD. DIDN'T WANT TO HIT THAT DOG THOUGH. Kuro5hin for Complete Idiots Not one of my favorites but yeah, Stand by Me is a good song. TBH I like Mickey Gilley's version better. From Urban Cowboy. I still have my Model M I don't use it because I broke the clip on the spacebar that hooks the metal spring. I think I may get it refurbed one day. I've had a total of five that I've gone through. Simply the best. I haven't used one but I have heard good things about the MS keyboard that is split down the center. Except I think two keys got split wrong. Unicomp is supposed to have some decent ones. Most of my work is on a lappy or touchscreen now so there you go. The only desktop machines I run anymore are all headless and I remote in. I do miss the solid feel and clickety clickety. A good keyboard is as important as a well cut pair of trousers. but snorting coke and popping Adderall is all good Who said I was talking about you? You know somepeople work better with a bit of alcohol or some other boost. You should be more accomodating. I'm not talking about coming in stoned and puking drunk either. But look, you don't keep normal hours right? Sometimes you find it better to sleep during the day. And you expect people to accommodate that as long as you are getting your work done. So if Joe wants to knock back a beer or two or a martini then you should be cool with that as long as he is getting his work done. If he's having to forego that then you should have to fucking put in your 9-5 like everybody else. For someone that places a high value on your individual liberty and freedom to work in the way that makes you most comfortable you sure are a judgemental prick you know that? You do realise Beats by Dre is originally from the same geniuses that brought you MONSTER CABLES. In other words they ain't good for anything but seperating you from your hard earned money. Think of it as you giving a Basic Income to Dre, Snoop, Eminem and friends. Grab you some Sennheiser headphones or NHT Superbuds if you want good earbuds. Yeah, it was kind of an interesting story I read about it in a doctor's waiting room magazine. Something about the Monster guys came up with this headphone design that was shit but had a lot of BOOM BOOM. They got Dre involved and were happy as shit but then his money men did some kind of hocus pocus and dumped their ass. So they ended up getting played and Dre made a fortune with the tech. That's the story I heard anyways. God what a whiny pussy you are I've sparked up on the flight deck in the middle of the Med. You can't find a place to get high in the middle of bumfuckistan. So do like Snoop does and roll up a blunt. Nobody say nothing bout a man enjoying a little after dinner cigar. Or even a regular pipe. Pipe tobacco and weed makes a tasty smoke. Especially if both are good quality. Get you one of those portable vapes or a one-hitter or any of the numerous 'smokeless' accessories. Think outside the box man, free your mind. A lot of it comes down to confidence. I imagine you both look and act like you're doing something wrong. Seriously, it sounds like BS but if you just carry yourself with confidence like you have every fucking right to be where you are doing what you are doing then most people will not fuck with you. When you're acting all shifty and suspicious that's when police, busy-bodies etc start noticing you and challenging you. OH GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKIN CHICKEN SHIT SMOKING IN THE BATHROOM BITCH. YOU AIN'T GOTTA DO A FUCKING COCKSUCKING THING YOU RETARDED BUTTRAG! YOU ARE THE PUSSY WRITING ABOUT 'OH FUCK MY LIFE I CAN'T TOKE UP CUZ I'M SCARED' THEN FUCKING PUT DOWN THE PIPE AND GET YOU GLASS OF MILK SISSY BOY. I WAS TRYING TO GIVE YOU SOME FELLOW STONER ADVICE AND YOU ATTACK ME. YOU GOD DAMN IGNORANT MOTHER FUCKING CUNT BAG. SHOVE IT UP YOUR STUPID ASS FUCKTARD. YOU'RE HEAD SO FULL OF SHIT YOU DON'T LISTEN. CALL ME A FUCKING NARC YOU SLIMY TWAT WAD. SHUT YOUR MAN WHORE BITCH ASS PUSSY MOUTH. Microsoft is tripping me out Open sourcing this, giving away that. I heard today they have a custom build of Win10 for raspberry pi. The coding stuff doesn't surprise me actually. MS has always been really good with resources, tools, training etc for programming. Hell maybe this Saiyan Nutella is going to turn the company around. It would be funny if Google and Apple became the Evil Corporation and Microsoft became the Software for the Rest of Us. LOL. Naaaah. I think this is the MS death rattle as really, Windows and in fact any OS just becomes irrelevant these days. Endusers don't care as long as they can check Facebook, watch YouTube and Netflix, listen to Pandora and play Flappy Bird. Microsoft really should have let the Justice Dept split them into separate companies during the anti-trust trial. They would have been a lot better off. Technically not a monopoly but large enough to make a significant impact in its industry. Microsoft itself is not actually a monopoly. Even when they got sued for anti-trust. But they were the 600lb gorilla in the room and you know where the 600 lb Gorilla sleeps right? Any fucking where it wants to. And yeah, for you econ types maybe money and wealth are two different things. Like I tell the Doc I take a couple Aspirin but I actually take Acetaminophen but you know its all called Aspirin to the non elite. Like I want a soda. It's all soda to me whether it's coke, sprite, dr pecker. you get my point. So yeah, the term 'money' is interchangeable with the term 'wealth' for most people. Dad used to remark of 'wealthy' people, he'd say, "They is richer than a foot up a Jersey Bull's ass." Are you being obtuse? I just said nigga, that to "The average man on the street" it is interchangeable. I realize the distinction is important to those that have to worry about those things. But in the day to day it doesn't matter. Normal people just have a head model is all. I KNOW that there is a difference between Aspirin, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and Naproxen Sodium. But in the everyday it's all just headache pills you savvy? So FORGIVE us when we use the term money when we mean wealth for we don't really give a fuck. Call it turtle dicks. Whatever makes you happy. Or you can beanplate the son of a bitch. if you want to think of this stuff seriously That's it. LR just said money attracts money. Simple. 3 words that sum up the concept nicely. Any moron knows what he's talking about. Then you come along and make a federal case out of it. You want to say wealth attracts wealth fine. I know what he meant and I reckon you did too. You just want to show off how smart you are. Like a damn Sheldon Cooper. And increase your karma, mojo, comment stat so you can win kuro5hin for May. What is the utility function of that eh? You get any bitcoin for it? You be as precise as you need to be. My point was that it was a simple concise statement and I didn't see any need in deconstructing it. We've been down this road before about Free Market also. No, monopolies are NOT the natural end product of a Free Market as defined. In a non-free market well . . . I think it's time we implemented something like a wealth tax and basic income . . . Damn straight. I'm too tired to get involved with the things I think you are mistaken about. For one thing. I grew up with Ma Bell and there was zero innovation and the cost of using a phone was prohibitive. Breaking them up and opening their lines was the best thing for the company, for the shareholders, and for customers. There is no debate. Within weeks people could call within their state without paying long distance charges when before in some cities like Austin you could get a long distance rate for just dialing a number across town. Now we have a number of competing services. And AT&T didn't just "reform". That was a result of Southwestern Bell merging over time with other "Baby Bells" until they had the whole enchilada. Then they changed their name from SWB to AT&T just to rub salt in the wound. Truly the regulators should never have allowed that to happen but Republican deregulationism helped to spawn that beast and you can readily see the bullshit that a huge telecom like that can cause. That is a failure of your Free Market. (Yeah i know you are going to say BUT ITs NOT A FREE MARKET) But it should be and the fact that it isn't is a failure. Ok? The monopolies you mention btw do not just 'crop up'. Power, water, gas, etc are often granted a monopoly by the state in exchange for regulation because it doesn't always make sense for a commercial service to supply gas, or power, etc out to the rural areas or into the poor neighborhoods. They lose money. By granting the company a monopoly the government can ensure that everyone is serviced at a fair price. But then you knew that being the Super Economist. Monopolies aren't always evil in and of themselves. However they do distort the market and I'm of the opinion that competition is always the better deal at the cost of efficiency. I should really try and understand it as best I can And that is wonderful, except that often you feel the need to school everyone else and maybe we don't need to understand it at that level. If you're looking for someone that does and that can help you get a little deeper I think there are probably better forums than K5. I would trust K5 for movie watching advice, sources for good quality porn and apps for serious Life researchers. But like that NASA EM Drive? I ain't going to be posting no ASK K5: MICROWAVES, HOW DO THEY WORK? CAN THEY TAKE ME TO URANUS? your math might check out But you are absolutely wrong. See this was done. I mean it wasn't an experiment or a model. It actually existed. Att got all kinds of subsidies, tax breaks, rights of way, you name it. But they didn't innovate. Why not? Why should they? The system worked. It made them money. everyone complained but there was nothing you could do because it was the only game in town. It wasn't until they broke the thing up and created competition that things changed and now you can call to any where i n the world as easy as calling down the street. You can call me an idiot or uniinformed all you like. I'm not just hypothsizing here. This was a real thing. That's why we have antiitrust laws. I don't see how you can argue for a monopoly. You sound like trane arguing against thermodynamics. Monopolies are anticapitalist. There are only certainn situations that a monopoly is allowed and I already explained the reason why. Because it costs too much for a company to make a profit servicing certain segments of the population. That is why you hear people begin to ask if internet access should be a human right. Right now there are places that have no internet access Because it costs too much to get the wires oout there. Even at quadruple cost to customers it still isn't worth it to lay that cable. But if it is decided that access is a right or at least a nessicity then government could grant some isp a monopoly for a certain region and subsidise it through taxes and fees in return for requiring that commpany to service tnOse areas. This isn't some esoteric thing dude. This is something that goes back to the industrial revolution. I don't know what all that handwaving you are on about. LOL fiber nobody even knew what fiber was. Hell it wasn't even a health thing yet. Take a look at what the government did to provide telegraph service back in the wild west days. Take a look at what the government did to supply telephone service throughout the US. mean back when Alex was still around. Your mind would boggle at the deals made and the money spent. You keep talking about models and math. And that is all good. But reality trumps any model. Perhaps there are variables that are not accounted for. Real life is a messy place. And people, governments and companies didn't always do what economists would describe as The Rational choice, ie pursue their own self interests. Some things were done simply because it seemed like the morally correct solution. We need to treat water like oil. Run a pipeline from Canada to Cali and pump that good Canadian water like we pump that good Canadian crude. Should be ok if they site on the Canadian Shield I don't know what crack you're smoking but Fukushima is like nearly 5000mi away from Canada. Or are you one of those fruity fruits that hate Nuclear power because OMG Maths is Hard! I also don't know what you are going on about stats either, I've always been of the persuasion there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. You sure are a squirrely lil fella ain't ya? But the truth is we have more Canadians living and working here in the lower 48 than there are Americans living and working in Canukistan. Everybody hates our ass but they sure do love our money! Just think, with just a little effort you could make your water and garbage footprint zero! You need to get them Kardashian girls They're so trend setting Bruce Jenner decided he wanted to be a Kardashian girl also. He'll be dating black men before long. All those girls wanting to get Kylie lips. All the bitches wanting to get Kim's butt. If you could get them to have a real cool suicide party then I suspect there wouldn't be much of a water problem in CA anymore. LET THEM EAT CAKE! AND DRINK WINE! WHO NEEDS WATER WHEN YOU GOT ALL THEM WINERIES? Rioting is like drinking you don't need nothing special, any excuse will do. Fuck IT's THURSDAY and my nuts itch, let's RIOT! process being pleasant McDonalds. This place is painted BRIGHT RED AND YELLOW. Everyone KNOWS the food is not healthy. They even made a movie about it. There is not a single thing they serve that looks it didn't come out of some lab. But they have minted money since Ray Kroc opened the 1st one. Kids screaming, alarms beeping, tasteless food, anything BUT a 'pleasant experience. Walmart. Nothing about the Walmart experience is in any way pleasant. But like a friend used to say before he passed, "Walmart! Walmart! Walmart! People would wade through a parking lot full of dead horses just to get in the Walmart." I could go on. I mean think about your ISP. When you have to deal with them is it a 'pleasant' experience? It's to the point that if I just get what I asked for and don't get ripped off too much that is a pleasant enough experience. It's like the Ferengi took over and we all are governed by the Rules of Acquisition. Slips, Strips, Bars, and Bricks! OH GOD DAMN Everybody KNOWS that. And TECHNICALLY you are correct but actually you're just being a pendant. YES there was a restuarant called McDonalds that Kroc aquired. Much in the same way that Bill aquired QDDOS back in the day. HOWEVER, it wasn't really DOS until MS peddled it. I mean the thing we all know and LOVE/HATE DOS. Same way, McDonalds didn't become McDonalds until the Kroc worked his magic. And regardless it has NOTHING to do with making a profit from a pleasant experince. Damn dude it's like we're talking about C and you bringing up some trivia about teletype machines on a PDP. Jesus. It's Friday but it feels like a MONDAY. This morning has just fucking sucked and I'm about had it. There is going to be blood. I swear. Nothing to do with you Mike, I just seem to find myself surrounded by the MOST IGNORANT of MOTHER FUCKERS today. Embrace, Extend, Exterminate I don't know about the gay stuff if it is even relevant. Plenty of childless couples straight homo bitextual transformer more-than-meets-the-eye JESUS this is TWO THOUSAND and FIFTEEN! That's all last Millenium shit. But on the gene-therapy I'm like so for that shit. Better Harder Faster Stronger People say, oh you wanna play GOD! Fuck, even in the Bible it says: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." So like him we are creators. Believe me there are many 'improvements' we can make to the stock model. We must become Zarathustra and bring forth our own bermensch as told in The Gay Science. Yes commies can have constitutions too. Article 1 The People's Republic of China is a socialist state under the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. The socialist system is the basic system of the People's Republic of China. Disruption of the socialist system by any organization or individual is prohibited. Article 33 All persons holding the nationality of the People's Republic of China are citizens of the People's Republic of China. All citizens of the People's Republic of China are equal before the law. The State respects and preserves human rights. Every citizen is entitled to the rights and at the same time must perform the duties prescribed by the Constitution and other laws. I know, it's like somebody at the Daily Show was playing a prank. I had to double check I wasn't quoting from The Onion. "proper" term is Ignorant Mother Fuckers It is important that Mother Fucker be two words as it gives more emphasis and 'punch' to the term. Like if you say, "Check that motherfucker." It becomes passive. Just another motherfucker nothing special. But when you say, "Check that Mother Fucker." You're drawing specific attention to said motherfucker." Therefore an individual possessing ignorance at the fucked mother level is an Ignorant Mother Fucker that deserves an anal insertion of Supersonic Telephone Poles. Hadn't really thought about it but now that I do I realized the last seven funerals I have been to the deceased was cremated. No coffin just a small box. or snort if you're Keith Richards That's wild. I don't know if you meant mick jagger was more likely to use his dead partners ashes as a tdildo or snort them. richards said he snorted his dads ashes cut with a bit of coke. Behold the Power of Reddit Paid mods are being removed from Steam Workshop. We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. . . . Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes, we'll be chewing through that, but if you have any further thoughts let us know. We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree. We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different. To help you understand why we thought this was a good idea, our main goals were to allow mod makers the opportunity to work on their mods full time if they wanted to, and to encourage developers to provide better support to their mod communities. We thought this would result in better mods for everyone, both free & paid. We wanted more great mods becoming great products, like Dota, Counter-strike, DayZ, and Killing Floor, and we wanted that to happen organically for any mod maker who wanted to take a shot at it. But we underestimated the differences between our previously successful revenue sharing models, and the addition of paid mods to Skyrim's workshop. We understand our own game's communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here. Now that you've backed a dump truck of feedback onto our inboxes, we'll be chewing through that, but if you have any further thoughts let us know.--Erik at Valve This was also posted as an announcement on the Steam Workshop. The takeaway is, never underestimate the power of a bloodthirsty mob. And yeah, people may think, wait a minute, it's not Reddit that is responsible! Well I didn't see much about it in the gaming press. Mostly it was Reddit and Forbes and a few other business sites that even covered the situation. It's kind of like Slashdot was back in the day. I still don't think GabeN will ever fully recover the goodwill he has built up among the Glorious PC Master Race. Well, unless he gets them to release Half-Life 3. That thing is delayed more than Warp Life even! Doesn't have much to do with paying. It has more to do with causing a split in the modding community. If the main reason was, "oh noes we don't want to pay." I don't think they would have backed down. The people Valve was trying to help were getting ripped off in a hundred ways. Modders were getting their content stolen, repackaged and placed up for sale. Other modders were getting their works used without permission in other mods. Users would get ripped off paying for mods that were done for money and not built carefully causing their games to crash and no refunds after 24hrs. Modders weren't getting a fair cut and had to sell $400 worth before they could get paid at all. It had very little to do with having to pay for a mod. The mobile market has conditioned people to make microtransactions. It's not a big deal anymore. Trending . . . Photos inside 7-Eleven 12,000 Comments and growing . . . Yes of course stat in your left hand shit in your right hand compare to see which one fills first. reality represented achievement unlocked fuck, I seem to have a god damn potty mouth Son of a fucking bitch. Talk about getting hit with a Cluebat Still the silly bitch probably blamed it all on the driver. I can imagine her texting her friend while riding in the ambulance. Reddit is going postal I've even seen the meme spreading around. Valve takes 75% (Well 100% up to the first $400, per modder not per mod) then the modder gets a 25% cut. Valve splits its take with the game publisher. From minute one a ton of mods were up for sale that didn't actually uh belong to the person selling them. Some mods depended on other mods for functionality were up for sale without permission of the dependencies owners. There is a bunch of backlash mods up, like 'An Extra Apple' which is a mod that adds one extra apple to the game (Skyrim). The apple doesn't give you anything, it's just one more apple. Some people that had really good mods on nexus have stripped out all the good artwork they got from 3rd parties and replaced it with their own crappy artwork. (Just because you're good at scripting and shit doesn't make you an artist.) Then there is the legal problem. Mods are tricky. If you don't install them correctly they will crash your game. Many mods conflict with other mods. When the mods were free that wasn't a problem. It was understood by the person using the mods that it was all on them. But now if a paid for mod breaks Valves solution in the FAQ is to 'nicely' inform the author of the mod of the problem and wait patiently for a fix. Yeah, that is going to happen. Another thing is that often updates and patches to the game will break mods so they have to be updated. But what if the mod you bought the guy that made it has gone elsewhere? Years ago The Sims series had a number of sites that began selling mods. These were actually in violation of the EULA. Still EA Maxis never really cracked down so it flourished. Likewise a HUGE piracy movement sprang up, (Pay Sites Must Die!) offering all the latest from the paysites for free. I have a feeling that a lot of paid mods are going to be pirated and some will just straight up be duplicated and made available under a different name. I personally don't see any good coming out of this. There will be lawsuits, I'm pretty sure. And the community that games is not one that respects copywrite nor will they be happy about spending a bunch on a game and then spending money on formerly free mods. Shit people often have 200+mods in a single game. Say $5 avg per mod that's a fuckton to spend on Skyrim or Fallout or whatever. Not to mention buying DLC. This could get nasty. Just want to add that programming has very little to do with any of this. A person can run the Creation Kit and extract a game item. Lets say a sword. Then we have the kit extract the textures. The author loads up the textures into their favorite graphic editor and lets see, we'll change all the gold colors to green. Take a brush and paint some narly blood stains on it. Write Orc-fucker in runic down the blade. Put those in a folder. Then we go in and check the box that adds a sound to the combat animation. Type in the filename. willhelmscream.mp3. Stick that in the folder. Now the author goes into the settings of the item and lets say, increase the chance to hit, and set it where it does 5x damage to Orcs. Save that. Then clickty-clickty have it bundle that all up and upload it to steam workshop with a $10 price tag. Anyone can do this with a one page tut and you need no prior programming experience. The sword is already an item in the game, you don't have to create the mesh or the animations, just recolor (called reskinning) the textures. Set some attributes to your liking and boom. There's your new "mod". And the purchaser can equip it and go around slaying orcs and everytime he swings the blade it will scream. Wow, that is some creativity there. Seriously it IS just that easy. In Morrowind (an earlier Elder Scroll Game) I was able to take 'pieces' of game items. Put them together and create an airship that my character could board and travel across Vvardenfell. It could carry cargo and take my avatar anywhere in the game world he wished to go. I didn't create any new content. But if I did the same thing for Skyrim I could ask $30 for that. It's not like coding Warp Life or Flappy Bird. It's stupid. Valve CEO Gabe Newell weighs in on the controversy. Yeah Gaben went from God of all PCdom to people burning his image in effigy. "Father!, Why hast thou forsaken me!" I suppose there is always Origin Last guy that said Putin lacks authority was shot dead in front of the Kremlin. I think he could make it happen. Imagine . . . The stats they are building on all us fools at the NSA . . . Not a Myth but a Dream says so on the tin. American Dream AND IF YOU BELIEVE IT THEN YOU BE DREAMIN! Public Service Notice: Due to the Economic Environment the "American Dream" has now become the "American Nightmare" Did you see what they found under Yellowstone? They knew there was a magma chamber with enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon 2.5 times. Well now they discovered a Reservoir directly below that which has enough semi molten material to fill 11 Grand Canyons (11,500 cubic miles or 46,000 cubic km). Just sitting there percolating and releasing excessive carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Of course there is no worries. The thing doesn't blow but about once every 700kyrs and it's only been 640kyrs so far so we're good. Actually, according to the scientist that made the discovery, the chamber holds explosive rhyolitic magma. The size of the chamber is enough to account for historical eruption and flow. The new reservoir is made of stable basaltic magma that is more soft and spongelike and probably not likely to go BOOM. However, they are convinced that this new pocket is the source of all the gas they have been recording which had puzzled them before. Still if it goes then you can kiss most of the North American Continent goodbye, well the land will still be here but that is about it. I don't even want to imagine what the rest of the planet would go through. I mean I have read about Krakatoa and that there is some serious shit. I don't think we could do anything to prevent it. I do think we could tap it as an energy source except for people would be all ECO-Green about it. You think drilling for oil on public land gets push back. I can't imagine what they would say about tapping Old Faithful. You are indeed a brave fellow linking to proof of your idiocy. In that link I am replying to you concerning the ACA. You keep changing the subject trying to show what evil people the dems are but never quite succeeding. And now you make a claim that I have made a statement which I have not. Typical of your unrelenting bullshit. You like to make shit up I will give you that. And you aren't that bad at it. I'm beginning to think all that crap about how you are related to Hatfield-McCoy is just a bunch of hokum and pretty much all that crap about how you worked for this or that company. Yeah, I figure you are just a mental person that dreams all this shit up during your psychotic breaks. Hook, line, sinker. LOL, you just can't help yourself can you? No, I don't think YOU understand So why all the crying about your strokes making you forget your data structures and you would have to study it? Just more bullshit. At the end of the day we're all stat whores. Gotta get the high score. Don't you fools compete for like Dummy of the Year awards or something? Darwin Awards I think it is called. So you saying Congress shouldn't be paid? Well I'm down for that. Read the other day that at first Geo Washington refused to be paid for serving as president. He thought it should be regarded as a civic duty. He changed his mind though. He realized he didn't want to start a precedent where only wealthy men who could afford going without income would run for president. Seems kind of silly these days. You don't have to keep correcting yourself Everyone knows what you meant. If it really bugs you then just slow down, esp if you're on a tablet or similar. Your post doesn't HAVE to be made right THIS second. There is not enough users here that it will get buried. Use the preview liberally. IAWTD I lived through all this. That is why I do not deny that climate change is happening. You don't have to be a scientist even to see that the evidence is overwhelming. I just question the predictions made and the cause of the change. It's because I have heard this Chicken Little "We're DOOMED if we don't DO something!" all of my life. One day it's OMG We're going to have a new Ice Age! Then it's OMG We're going to turn into Venus! OMG We're going to drown! OMG We're going to become a desert! No one knows and the worst part about it is if you even question these "scientific" predictions they start calling you an idiot and insult you when it has been shown time and again how wrong they are. But they want people just to trust them and implement their "fixes" without question. Look, if you're going to say Bullshit Just say Bullshit. Don't try to gussy it up by calling it "Gossip". Gossip is when you talk about other people especially things that relate to their appearance or habit. The way you use it is STUPID. And makes me throw up in my mouth. Bullshit FUD Over the past two years, at least 40 bills aimed at weakening or repealing clean-energy mandates have been introduced in legislatures across the country, according to Colorado State University's Center for the New Energy Economy. When a newly elected President Obama, along with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, went to work on climate change in 2009, the Kochs threw their full weight behind defeating the effort. At one point, climate action appeared all but inevitable. Democrats were putting plans in place for comprehensive legislation, and Republicans were--at the very least--sympathetic. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joined then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi on a love seat for a 30-second television commercial demanding that climate change be addressed. Sen. John McCain, who had just won a primary election in Arizona, had been the main Republican sponsor of carbon-cap legislation for several previous sessions. What happened next, for environmentalists, is a disastrous piece of history: The climate bill squeaked through the House and stalled in the Senate, facing near-unanimous Republican opposition as well as defections from coal- and oil-state Democrats. "Cap-and-trade" became such a slur along the 2010 campaign trail that Joe Manchin--then a soon-to-be Democratic senator from West Virginia--ran an ad in which he shot a copy of the cap-and-trade bill with a hunting rifle. Following Democrats' midterm "shellacking," incoming tea-party candidates--many of whom had won campaigns with AFP's help--turned the federal climate bill into a pipe dream and began to take aim at renewable-energy supports that were already in place. Bullshit FUD In the original plan he rolled out in 2008, Pickens pushed for increasing domestic wind power capacity to help wean the nation off oil imports. The 2.2-cent per kilowatt-hour incentive for wind power production, known as the production tax credit (PTC), is set to expire Dec. 31.[2012] A significant bloc of Republicans, along with GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, opposes extending the incentive. They call the PTC an example of unnecessary government intervention into energy markets, and argue that the uptick of natural gas for electricity generation shows energy production is best left to free markets. President Obama as well as many Democratic and Republican lawmakers representing sizable wind energy sectors want to extend the incentive, and Obama has tried to turn the issue into an election vulnerability for his opponent. Supporters of the tax credit cite industry-backed estimates that failing to extend it would cost 37,000 direct and indirect jobs. Many wind energy firms, such as Siemens and Vestas Wind Systems, have cited the uncertainty surrounding the incentive's future to explain recent layoffs. Supporters also say the incentive is working and helping the wind industry catch up to legacy energy technologies such as oil and coal. For proof, they point to wind electricity accounting for 35 percent of all newly installed generating capacity in 2011. Though he has not endorsed a presidential candidate, Pickens said in August that Obama has thwarted increased oil-and-gas production by restricting drilling on federal lands. And T. Boone Pickens, the legendary oilman, has abandoned his plan to build the world's largest wind farm, according to a report in The Dallas Morning News that was confirmed by a spokesman for Mr. Pickens. Mr. Pickens has said in the past that he had to delay his wind plans due to the financing difficulties that have hit wind farms across the country in the last nine months, along with a fall-off in natural gas prices. The latest scaling back, according to the Dallas paper, is due to transmission constraints. Texas plans to build about $5 billion worth of transmission lines to help carry the wind from the western part of the state, but they will not go where Mr. Pickens had hoped. So again, nothing but Lies and Hot Air from you. Trying to paint the Dems as "EVIL" when it is your own Conservatards that are trying to spin the truth to make themselves look better. Keep on sucking that Conservative Cock hard! Eventually you'll get your just reward! The linked article has nothing to do with what was said. The article you linked is about repealing rules about siting. FUD FUD FUD, you're just blowing smoke and flashing mirrors. You are continuing to act like a clueless tool. And gas is already low dummy and Houston Jobs are suffering for it. You are just SO FULL OF SHIT it boggles the MIND!!!!! You're ridiculous Gas is half the price it was two years ago. It has little to do with Saudis and everything to do with hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling in the US. So you're just pissing and moaning about bullshit and you don't even know what you are talking about either. Anyways I am tired of wasting time with you as it is not MY job to educate you. You want to be willfully stupid I can't doing anything about that. You want to be the Stockholm Syndrome slave then I can't help you. The one thing that gives me great pleasure is to KNOW that you will not be voting. I know that you will have some excuse to not go to the polls because you can't even get through life without making excuses. You make big claims on the Internets but everytime you are challenged you come up with some excuse how you cannot perform. So you are just another dude spreading bullshit and hot air. When it comes time to put up you'll be a no show. Same with all three of you stooges. Not a single one of you will step foot in the polls to cast a ballot. I didn't cite I C&P'd the article You haven't proved anything. You just do a google search and cherry pick what you think looks right. You link to biased sources. BOEHNER? Really? You are so funny. I do get out and vote No you don't and you know you don't. You were never an election judge. In fact you haven't been half the things you claim. You're like Walter Mitty you do all this stuff in your dreams. You talk all big about coding and when Crawford asks you a simple question that just takes common sense to answer you start bitching about your strokes and you would have to study data structures. HAHA You talk big but like I say when you get challenged you come up with excuses or add another job to your resume. You are completely full of shit and a waste of my time. And miss the fun? Dude, I am in my bathrobe in my favorite chair I have just finished a lovely rib-eye steak with a side of pasta and lima beans. I had a serrano pepper and a very tall glass of wine. All this while our little tete-a-tete was in progress. I am VERY ANNOYED. I'm so ANGRY I could just shit! You know I am a big fan of Lewis Black. And I'm still convinced that you are full of shit. OH NOW I'M REALLY PISSED! NO! U! I GOT A BIRD FOR YA! More of your delusions and hallucinations You misread, your IQ WAS MORE LIKE 89. You just use google and pretend to be smart. People didn't pick on you because you were smart but because you were an ugly stupid loser. You used to daydream how you were the smartest person and had secret ninja skills and would beat up people in your daydreams but in reality you would piss your pants if the teacher so much as said your name. You once had a good career playing Amiga in your Dad's basement in between the times you were sexually molested which caused you to develop psychotic bi-polar schizo-arrested disorder and end up on disability. Like Walter Mitty you have made up a number of 'jobs' you used to "work" at, mostly based on TV series you watched. You earned stars and smiley faces at the school for special needs children which you attended. While all of the other children were having fun with their friends you would spend all your time masturbating to pictures of spiderman and thor in your comic books. No one liked you or would play with you because of the incredible stench since you rarely bothered to wipe your own ass. After you molested those boys you ended up in jail and then a mental hospital. Muslims like to fuck too I mean they cover up and all that but they still like to get the groove on and make lil muslims ya know? Even strict Christians like to fuck believe it or not. And I tell you what. Everybody thinks they are all lights out missionary only. HAH! Mother fucking religious people are often the kinkiest people you know. Cause What Goes On Behind Closed Doors . . . How's that air over there in the Orient btw? Naw, it's always smelled like oil and cowshit here in the South! He'd still blame it on the Left As would the conservatives as they make the cuts. "We're doing you poor and mentally ill people a favor. The left has convinced you that you are worthless but we on the right believe in you! So, to protect you from becoming dependent on the government we're gonna cut all funding so that you folks can be all you want to be! Shine on You crazy diamonds! And be assured that the money we save from cuts in those programs will be redistributed to the Job Creators so you all can realize the American Dream of working for minimum wage!" LOL, he didn't make the cuts he only signed the bill under pressure from the right. "With his signature, at a Rose Garden ceremony, the President eliminated a pillar of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal social welfare program, delighting the Republican-controlled Congress in this election year and incensing many of his fellow Democrats." Just like a conservatard. you always scream about "the other guys do it" while you guys are the ones with the bloody hands. If it weren't for Bill then the cuts would have been deeper. The right is the only ones calling for cuts. They want to balance the books on the backs of the poor rather than make their own rich backers pay a penny more in taxes. You know, I almost HOPE that a real right-wing candidate gets elected. Somebody like Ted Cruz. That is who you deserve. When you start complaining I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh. I used to be a Fairy Princess and lived in a Magical Castle with Unicorns and Gnomes. there are problems with this new health insurance law Because CONGRESS let the insurance companies write the damn thing. You keep wanting to make comparisons but ignore the fact that the right are the ones that call for the cuts. They are the ones that refuse to vote. They refuse to vote on whether they are going to vote. They are the ones that want to close the government down. You talk about the left being guilty by association. The right is guilty by direct action. If you aren't aware many democrats are not happy with Obama. But because Obama does something you think OH ALL DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THAT SHIT. But that isn't true. Sen Warren is fighting him tooth and nail over this TPP bullshit. Hillary is against it and most dems are against it. But because you worked for a few dems you know about ALL dems. Well I can tell you for fact that the right doesn't give a shit about you or you being mentally ill or anything. They think you are faking it and are a leach, a parasite and would prefer it if you just fuck off and died. Further most of them would call you a race traitor for marrying a Thai. Now, if that is the kind of people you want to support then more power to you. I just think it is stupid to champion the very organization that most wants to do away with you and your kind. Sure, there are some problems with ACA but it is helping people and it is much better to have it and maybe improve it than what the right wants to do which is trash it and replace it with what? NOTHING! Hispanics vote 2-1 in favor of dems You just keep making shit up left AND right Boredom relief Just throwing this out there as food-for-thought. Being as this is Kuro5hin.org I'm thinking maybe we need a troll rating? My idea is that if say comment foo has more than one reply from the same kuron then that is a good indicator of a solid 'bite'. Of course the real gauge is if in response to a comment foo a kuron subsequently creates a New Diary entry replying to comment foo then that is a super bite but I think that would be very difficult to express with code. Length of thread could also be used to troll rate of course. It might even be possible to have both a troll and a trolled rating. The user with the top-level comment would get the troll rating and replies would get trolled ratings. Not related but I really liked you making those charts with the stat data. Also really like the new layout. Just wanted you to know. Anyways, just something that came to mind. I don't want to fuck up your ambidextrous coffee mug. Sounds like something Blastar is in to So no. Ultron, makes me think of Transformers. So no. Fascinating Meh, It's kinda old now. Not even really controversial. I mean really what does it matter what superheroes or whatever comic book people want to have sex with? It's just a label. It's not like OMG they are going to start drawing comics with Iceman balls deep in the Hulk or something. And a black superhero is no more shocking these days than a black santa. Now, I understand they are raping your childhood and I am sorry for that. My own childhood has been bent over and DP'd several times but I am a grown man so I can shrug it off and move forward. These Marvel heroes are for the NEW generation and if having a gay Iceman makes some young gay boy feel a little better, like he's included and can have that fantasy of having special powers then that is wonderful. If some young black kids can feel like they are included and you don't have to be white to be special then fucking A. In fact there should be MORE of it. We need Asians and AmerIndians and the whole gamut. Make Wonder Woman a lesbian. I mean it's not a stretch. she comes from an island of all women. TBH I always kinda thought ALL superheroes were secretly gay. I mean prancing around in tights with a cape? If that don't say Gee Ay Why in Pink Neon I don't know what does. Fuck April Right in the Pussy Poet fags should fuck off to HUSI April is home to naught but dread Titanic sank with fifteen hundred dead Hitler was born and the world got screwed He put to death six million jews Davey Koresh with Renos say so Staged a human bbq outside of Waco Stoners celebrate by getting wasted The memory of Lincoln, AsSAssiNaTeD We cry for the limbs still freshly gone From the deadly blasts at that Marathon From Virginia Tech's Cho to the town of West And Alfred P Murrah all put coroners to the test. Ruby Ridge and Columbine High! Oh God April why do so many die? April you are such a bloodthirsty Hussy! Go FUCK yourself right in the PUSSY! I don't even see where this has anything to do with resisting arrest. This is all about being a repeat offender, specifically an armed repeat offender. I don't think you even own a weapon unless they count a keyboard. I mean if a pen is mightier than a sword a keyboard should be the equivalent of a mini-gun. Right? But can you shot web? Such A very BIG fish In such a tiny little pond . . . Film at 11:00 I'm very annoyed. My local newscast has started using clickbait style teasers for their upcoming stories. Further I can't stand it that I will read something on Reddit or worse Facebook and then the next day it appears as a feature on the news like their own fucking investigative reporters discovered it. I hate when I'm at one of my redneck friends house and they're watching FOX News. They'll have their little panel and I'll be okay this guy is going to say this, and this guy is going to say this other thing and this woman is going to be all like she is just shocked and appalled and this other guy is going to make some flippant remark. This dude here is for the balanced part and they won't let him finish a sentence. And then it happens. Nobody discusses anything anymore. They just holler past each other and even if you can find some point of agreement you cannot admit it because that is a sign of weakness. You probably aren't even reading this right now. You're surfing K5 but you're busy doing something else on your smartphone. Aren't you? God if we went back in time and told folks in the FUTURE we have a GLOBAL INFORMATION NETWORK that is accessible 24/7/365 and can speak to ANYONE ON THE PLANET via supercomputers we carry in our pocket and we use it to share dick pictures and trick people into watching a Rick Astley video. Those fuckers would unleash the entire GLOBAL NUCLEAR ARSENAL and just destroy the planet. After they asked 'Who the fuck is Rick Astley?' that is, to which we would reply, "Google it." It's already happened on FOX a few times You say market opportunity though. How would you monetize that? They just wait till the dead space between the sports and the final weather or immediately after one of those human interest peices and make a correction. They do it all the time. "Well isn't that just cute?" "Yes Stephanie, that certainly puts a smile on the face. And earlier we reported that Phil Johnson killed and ate his own offspring but new information has revealed that he did nothing of the sort. We apologize for that. And now Let's Go to Jack Parnell for a look at Sports! So Jack, how are them Vipers doing in the District Conference?" they won't nuke the world If you went back in time to like, before the Internet, like the 50's say. And you told them about this wonderful technology that we had at our fingertips. They would be like WOW! So I guess you guys have cured Cancer and solved World Hunger and all that. There must be peace and love across the globe. and then you say, Naaah. we just use it mostly to send each other dick pics and talk about what we ate for breakfast. We've killed or confined most all of the interesting wildlife, and we start a brand new war every 10 yrs, it's like we like to keep a fresh war on tap all the time. And they would be Holy MotherFuccking Sjhit! And hit the button because like what is the point anymore? Another angle Like you know that movie, Idiocracy? What if like you found out dude that it wasn't a movie but a fucking Documentary from like the FUTURE. Like fucking Aliens recorded it and sent it back to inform us. Would you want to continue? I mean it's like if somebody told you and could prove to you that in a few years you would be like super rich and own mansions and be married to the hottest bitch in the world. BUT You would have Alzheimers, Amnesia, and AIDS. You dick shrank and you grew huge size 44DDD man boobs. Would you want to continue? No really only FOX does that CNN always tries to get people to inflate what is going on, they want to know, "How does it make you FEEL" and make the news black or white, like Good Thing or Bad thing? Very few people with opposing views will appear on MSNBC so the ones that do get a pass. But the news people take so fucking long to ask a damn question. They always take like five minutes to get around to asking anything. Each outlet is totally different with their own styles and not just mirror versions of the same thing. Another big difference is that Fox will try to make their guys look like heroes and the opposition look evil. So it's like Good vs Evil. That's what you get. On MSNBC they always portray their people as Strong and Smart while they paint the opposition as Stupid and Clueless. They don't insult me and I'm a viewer I'm sorry you feel stupid and clueless. Maybe if you stopped watching the news that caters to the LCD you might not be so stupid and clueless. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that! LOL! This is a political hit piece Peter Schweitzer has a history of producing partisan misinformation and the NY Times and Washington Post have admitted that they have a "deal" with Schweitzer and his backers. What you see here is just another Swift Boat in progress. Also, Blastardo keeps saying the government deleted Clinton emails but that isn't true. Ms Clinton herself requested the emails be deleted after her staff had determined which emails were government related and turned those over. The server itself is located at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. and is protected around the clock by Secret Service. None of the emails are classified and she has not broken any laws. "For any government employee, it is that government employee's responsibility to determine what's personal and what's work-related. No one wants their personal e-mails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy ... I had no reason to save them." Blastretard is just kicking up FUD because he is an idiot and a liar and has no life except to troll K5. I never said the government deleted her emails. The only way to find her email is in the people's inboxes that she sent it to, because they government wiped the server it used to be on. We'll never know because they government wiped the server. So you said it, TWICE. She refused to use the government email servers. She answered that. You are just fishing like the birthers. Your complaints are spurious and inconsequential. I'm quite tired of your ultra lame attempts at trolling. You suck at it. Reads like a tick's POV But I'm only sucking a few milliliters of blood! I'm not a problem! Go hassle that other tick over there! Fucking Sour Smarties Got a bag at the Dollar Store and there is nothing sour about them. They are just hot. Like tabasco pepper hot. Which would be ok except they numb my mouth. Like that Mexican powder candy that is popular here. I usually keep the dollar candy in my drawer. I don't like to snack on sweets but when I get a hankering then I can pop like a roll of smarties or a jolly rancher and it tides me over. Keeps me from eating like a whole candy bar or doughnut or something. Except Starbursts and Skittles. I can't get those. I swear I will open a whole damn roll of Starbursts and pack them into a ball at one time because there is no other taste like that on Earth. Or a mouthful of Skittles OMG! I lose my head it is like crack cocaine! Lot of candy we had back in the day they don't sell anymore because it isnt safe or was a negative influence. But then you can buy a little garbage can full of green snot that is ok. Hang out at Starbucks write essays and perfect your app for the appstore to insure your immortality. If any US ISPs are prepared to cooperate hmmm, let me think. uh maybe Time-Warner Cable would be on board, uh Comcast, AT&T DSL & DirectTV . . . any cable company that offers Video On Demand service. I thought this damn thing was supposed to route around damage? Woah Chicken Little!!! The FCC doesn't have shit to do with this. This is industry acting proactively. If there WAS NO NET NEUTRALITY then they wouldn't even have to DO THIS SHIT they could legally turn off the tap for any web site just cuz. Way to spread FUD numbnuts. God you are so fucking retarded. That is why we have Net Neutrality They keep bringing up these bills to Congress and will one day pass one of them. If Net Neutrality rules can withstand the current lawsuits then they cannot bring those bills up anymore. Capiche? Also They also want a fast lane for Netflix No "they" do not. They want Netflix to pay for regular speed and threaten to throttle them if they do not. "They" want to let their OWN shit to have a fast lane. You're pretty up on a lot of things. I'm puzzled at why you seem so clueless about this issue. You haven't been keeping up with current events FCC just put ISPs under Title II. It is now law. No bill needed. MDC doesn't know how to computer. You don't know how to government. Will burn a bit of jew in memoria. and by jew I mean jeweed, L'Chayim! Federal 3 Strikes is for "serious violent felonies" 18 U.S. Code 3559 The State of Washington's persistent offender law says you have to have two previous convictions of serious felonies either in the state or elsewhere, or Rape, Rape of a child, molestation, murder, kidnapping, burglary or assault that are sexually motivated. So you can have 3 felonies and not get life if they weren't like serious felonies. Note: I didn't know this I was just curious, I had heard of California 3 strikes law but didn't realize that there was a federal law as well. TIL . . . And it turns out several states have their own law Like on Wikip I read that "Texas was the first state to enact such a law, doing so in 1974 with a mandatory life sentence." I did NOT know this. weird wild stuff. He cared about Christies ass after Sandy Obama called him on Oct. 30 asking if he could make a trip to the storm-ravaged state. Christie told the Record: "If you understand the emotional condition we were all in, all of us in this administration sitting around that table watching that, you'd understand that very soon thereafter, probably two or three hours after that, he called for the first time. I'm like, man, `Can I come?' Tell me where and when and I'll be there. I need your help." "From minute one, my state was destroyed, so I was going to have a real relationship with him if he was willing to have one." "He and I spoke every day for at least the next 10 days -- every day -- sometimes more than once a day and it was substantive conversations," "That was at least four or five times I called him and said, `I hate to bother you with this, sir, but you told me if I needed help to call you, and FEMA is driving me crazy or the Army is driving me crazy and I don't understand this and can you help me?' And each and every time that I did that, within an hour the problem was fixed." I think he was also struck emotionally by what he saw and he was concerned, and he would call just to kind of check in on how I was doing in addition to the substantive stuff we would talk about," he said. But I guess we don't have a fucking clue what he cares about, the man is a fucking enigma, a riddle surrounded by a puzzle and wrapped in a mystery. Relevant to K5 Interests This place has changed quite a bit but one thing kurons still like to hate and hate to like is MOVIES. More than code. More than Basic Income. More than even getting a Warp Life app installed on our mobile devices before the Heat Death of the Universe. We like to watch some movies. So IO9 is having this poll about the upcoming Summer BlockBuster Season. (I don't know how that shit works for people down under. Fucking summer movies in the middle of winter and shit.) What they're asking is "Which Summer Movie Will Be This Year's Biggest Flop?" I've recreated the poll below. I made this one multichoice. On IO9 you can only pick one. Like pushing the Reddit Button. Now according to the poll, ...'you can define that [Biggest Flop] one of two ways: 1) losing the most money, based on reported production budget and your expectations for box office. Or, 2) losing money, when it was expected to make money.' Oh hell but this is K5 so you can define it any freaking way you want. So what do you think? (See Poll) Interesting analysis. Star Trek reboot wouldve been okay I like some aspects of it but the story itself is just getting dumber and dumber. Plot holes big enough to drive entire battlefleets through at Warp 9.I'm down with the new Kirk. I'm puzzled at Horny Spock and Uhura but I can deal with it. I love Simon Pegg so him being Scotty is awesome and Karl Urban fits right in to the McCoy role. But the last two films make no sense whatsoever. Battlestar Galactica on the other hand was just awesome. Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck works great. It kinda got loose there at the end but still a very solid show. The original was a freaking joke. Ben Cartwright and the Space Cowboys leading the wagon train across the Galaxy The one cool thing out of original BSG Cylon Raider minature by Monogram. I loved building this back in the days. Exactly what I was thinking Even when it was on it wasnt that great. I enjoyed Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea much better! I was a little disappointed that Matt Damon never followed through with the Maj. Matt Mason Movie. I was sure it would be a huge hit. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool Than to speak and remove all doubt. Sit, Ubu, sit! ... Good dog! The claim is that avians are the true descendants of the dinosaurs. Birds have more in common with T-rex and Allosaurus. The belief is dinos shared many of the traits of birds like a four-chambered heart, building and protecting nests, and singing to defend territory and attract mates. I sometimes wonder what it may have sounded like back then, great and terrible dinosaurs singing and calling like the birds around the house do early in the morning. Anyway, perhaps your roach friend was not squashed by a human. Perhaps he became prey for some early bird looking for a worm. I think you mentioned previous some leg parts left but a squashed roach or waterbug would leave most of the body behind. If it was attacked and eaten though then there might be just a bit remaining. If that is the case then you are ultimately culpable for the bugs death. By putting it out you placed it in danger and now it is dead. What punishment do you feel is appropriate for your crime? I hope you at least feel a modicum of remorse for your heinous deed. It is fiction to claim economic necessity for cutting welfare benefits. There is no production capacity shortage. There is an imposed shortage of financing. There is no shortage of financing either. It is just greed and the prevalent idea that being poor is something for which people should be punished. The poor should suffer. I read an article this morning that showed how Wall Street bonuses alone were several orders of magnitude greater than the income of all the minimum wage earners combined. There is plenty of money but in our society it is criminal and socialist to redirect any of it. We weep for the billionaire that only makes a half a million this year when he used to make a whole billion last year. Oh my whatever shall he do? Instead those with wealth want to cut the funding from those without and then tax those that actually earn their money. This way it keeps all the "little people" fighting amongst themselves. You hate me for having what you don't and I hate you for not being productive. In the meantime those that have power and control laugh at us and fund wars and campaigns to increase their power. Then you can do Expendables 3 and RED 2, Speed 2 (OMG! I would rather have my testicles covered in honey and nailed to an anthill), Highlander The Quickening . . . at least you have lots to keep you busy. So where is the *interesting* news? Like that Khloe Kardashian is like totally dumping out on her sis Kourtney's birthday bash so she can go to Coachella. As IF! I know, Right? Keep it in the family! 3D Print your flapjacks Prof. Kevin Warwick Is definitely a member of your fraternity of fools. Twice even! Ask K5: arguments not to delete Corporate emails bye pubes! Shaved my 60 yr+ pubes off today. Probably repeat this action in another 60 yrs. Yeah, I hate shaving! Wife knitted them into a nice white scarf I can use next winter. That is all. Don't mess with the BEARD. Like Samson that is the source of my awesome powers! Naw, all the lil critters clean that up. I do keep my weed stash in there though. If I burn my finger and toe nails whatever would I have to snack on? Don't take my pee! Nobody touches our pee pee! would write far better code Dude, you can't even get your development environment working correctly. Now you claim you're a better programmer? They don't pay $100k for dudes that spend more time bitching about the tools than producing code. I would let this slide but you just took a big shit on a group of people you don't know jack shit about. People that are productive and don't all live with their momma when they aren't in jail somewhere for stealing coffee creamer. Done right this would have been awesome April 1st. It would have been better than the story that leaked about how systemd devs were forking the kernel. Bill Gates is marketing a High Tech Condom that delivers drugs and electric shocks to your penor. For when you want to give twice as much cock. And also from the 2X Cock Dept. I present the MAN WITH THE SEVEN POUND PENIS. They terrorised JFK This here is mighty agravatin' Them jailbreaking fellers said what I ain't aughter change out the root passamathingy on my carryin' around telemaphone. So I went and done it and wouldn't you know I done went and fergot the dadblamed thing! If that don't hairlip the governor! Well I reckon I could use that Chlamydia thingy where for I could maybe get one of them fancy writing things and see what was up 'cepting they is so proud of it they want all a five bucks fer the durn thing! I mean I got it but it's all in cash and for some dang reason they don't take cash on the Innertubes. Well I reckon I could guess it or something but shit fire that's a lot of trouble so I just sold it to this nigger out behind starbucks and went and bought me a bottle of Jack. Fuck a goldurn eye-phone anyways. Just a durn expensive piece of hipster jewelry anywho. I reckon I'll get me a Nokia after I sober up. I have two wifi routers. They are both in my storage shed, because where the hell else you gonna keep the durn things? I got 'em right next to my fishing gear right under them deer antlers from that buck I shot in 02. I can get to 'em but it's a PITA trying to move all that shit around. I can go to McDonalds cuz they ain't got no fancy Internets, so really I'm just pissin and moanin. Cept I ain't allowed in there no more after that little retarded bukakke incident. Think I'll just go masturbate drunkenly at the hacker dojo and then hit up that waitress at the Dennys. I think she wants to sleep with me because last time I was in there she called me 'Sweetie' and asked if I would like a slice of pie with my coffee. She even offered to put a scoop of nallar ice cream on it so you know she is a wild woman. Not as wild as the latino ladies of course, them chiquitas can really make a sailor stand up and salute the flag. I should know my daddy was in the Navy. I got this iPhone model A1203. That's the genuine pure-dee original iPhone, but it runs iOS 3.1.2. I jailbroke it for no other good reason ceptin so I could activate it, for use in WarpLife development, that is, all I wanted at the time was for it to work without you know me having to really do much of anything. However my iPhone 4 was stolen at THE GROVER BEACH MCDONALDS, when I went to take a piss. I have to piss a lot from all the coffee and creamer I drink and I think I might be diabetic and have the AIDS cause I looked it up on WebMD and you know that site really knows what they're on about. That's fer durn sure. So anyways, I've been using my iPhone on vibrate, because I like the way it feels in my pants when I watch the strippers. I love strippers because they don't take bitcoin. I don't trust bitcoin because they didn't have that when I was in school and I only trust tech that came after 1999. Except for Apple because I can't figure out how to work anything else so I end up stabbing myself in the eyeballs which is why I always say that everything but apple makes my eyes bleed. I don't do business with Amazon because they make their people work hard for pay but I love Apple even though they force children to slave away in the iphone factory for twelve cents a day and have to put up fences to keep the kids from jumping to their death because death is preferable to working for apple and the fact they skim 30% right off the top for any apps in their store and their shit is buggy and doesn't work but at least they don't treat their employees like machines. My usual shop was closed today so I blew away the entire afternoon searching for a refill card. I did finally obtain one. It was white with a red stripe but I really wanted one that was red with a white stripe. My plan comes with 500 GB of data, that I had not activated, but I activated it through the website just now. But it doesn't work. It reminds me of when I set up my own webservers and they constantly fell over but I never did figure out why. I think it might have to do with the russians that were constantly hacking my server to steal my ice cream topping with any flavor other than lemon I'm not real sure why but I think the problem is that my phone has 2G, but the carrier doesn't provide 2G. Well really I don't need to use the phone online that much it's just that I don't want it to keep notifying that it's not subscribed to a data plan. I once read quite a cool book by a fly researcher, I think it was called "To Know A Fly" or some such. He described the bit about knocking them out by putting them in the freezer. Following his instructions, I would use a little droplet of candle wax to stick some sewing thread to the backs of the flies. Then I could walk them like dogs - or rather, fly them like flying dogs. I am quite flummoxed at the level of cluelessness of my fellow kurons. Sometimes I puzzle as to whether it is all a charade, that is, they may be very intelligent and educated folk who are simply pretending to be ignorant, that being the fashion of the day, but no I ultimately conclude that they really ARE that stupid. My concern though is that of a parent who finds that a little child has gotten hold of a loaded firearm. What can I do to prevent them from parodying my diaries? See, it breaks down like this: Write walls text. That's It. In much the same way as I feel compelled to respond to each and every last one of you goat fuckers, I also feel the need to explain that I write software as a hobby but what I consider to be my true calling is to be God's Gift to mankind. See I am really that magnificient.That had the eventual result that one of Alyssa Milano's staff called me on the phone back in the day, to ask for more information as to how Boy Scouts are able to distill water by digging a hole on the ground then pissing in it. I replied with a one or two hundred page letter with an illustration or two in MS PaINT, that explained how large-scale solar water distillation might work. At the time, California was having trouble with MBTE getting into wellwater, so Santa Monica and I expect some other communities were depending on electrically powered reverse-osmosis seawater desalination. While it does work the resulting water is still somewhat salty. It also uses a lot of energy. My solar method, while it would be costly to create it would be quite cheap to run. I'm pretty sure ways could be found that the amortized cost would be quite a lot less than reverse-osmosis. What might - just to pulll an example out of my ass - would be to point out that much of our problems with the current drought in California, would be to plant almond trees in Missouri, as well as prickly pear cactus all over the San Joaquin Valley. While unfamiliar to most Anglos, prickly pears are not only popular with Hispanics, they are quite tasty and nutritious. So I'd write a page or two lucidly discussing how we could save water by growing our crops in different places, then mail 437 copies of mostly the same letter to every man woman and child on the planet. . . . I could give you access to my root. dressed up as Misty from Pokemon Probably more to your tastes then. The first video made with the GTA V's new PC video editor.

I was WTF is this voat? what does that even mean is it like virtual goat? But now I see it is like VOTE but they needed an upvote arrow to match the downvote arrow. So I guess trane likes it since they don't believe in any censorship. Maybe he'll hang out there more. Oh shit, looking to see if they host banned subreddits as subvoats or whatever they call them, subverses. And they do have a goat for a mascot. I expect great things. . . More like the ADULT was irresponsible leaving the gun where a 3-yo could get to it. Lots of things could kill if you just LEFT IT OUT where kids can get to it. OH LET's LEAVE MY BOTTLE OF PAINKILLERS OUT WHERE KIDS CAN EAT THEM UP. Yeah but Rx bottles have child-proof caps TDILDO. Yeah but guns have SAFETYs too. But of course it is OMG GUNS! We must ban them to keep them out of the hands of children! Or he may have learned the quickest way to get rid of a pest (like a little brother, a whining bitch, a pissy boss, etc) is just to shoot them right in the face. There is large movement trying to convince Sen Elizabeth Warren to run against Hillary in the Primary. Even if just to give Hillary the experience of there being a contest. As it stands now, Hillary already has the nomination of her party sewn up. Many Dems believe this will hurt her when she has to run against whomever wins the GOP primary. (My guess is Jeb Bush, he's raised more money than all the others combined). She'll be too complacent. But none of the leading Dems even want to challenge Hillary. There is a guy, Martin O'Malley who might take a shot at it. I think her biggest challenge of all will be getting the people out to vote. If you saw her announcement today you know she is focusing on women and minorities, the working poor, union labor, and gays. I wouldn't count her out though. Obama got reelected after all. The GOP will have some tough questions to answer about growing income inequality, cuts to social services, and Scott Walker's jihad against the Unions. Benghazi will certainly figure prominently I think. Much like the Birther bother with Obama. The scandal about her emails may also figure. I don't think that other stuff will matter much simply because as far as the public is concerned that stuff is ancient history. I hope you didn't misunderstand what I was saying. I was not saying that she will surely win the Presidential Election. I was saying that she has the Democratic nomination for president sewn up. Those are two different things. No leading dems want to challenge her. Obama already endorsed her.The entire party is behind her campaign. Hillary is using the dark side To win this time! Obama approves! Jeb is sadface.jpg. Rand Paul's mind is blown. Ted Cruz says, 'Hitler was misunderstood'. Chris Christie thinks Hillary has some nice jugs. If you say the word gossiping enough it loses all meaning. It just sounds like you have something stuck in your throat. Like a big gay nigger cock. Well you have certainly proved the premise of this Diary. I saw the first one I guess it was a big deal. I have a F&F jacket in the back closet. It belonged to a girl my son was dating at the time. Don't know why she left it. I can't wear it, too small. I enjoyed the two Need for Speed Most Wanted & Carbon games. They were heavily influenced by F&F and they both rock even today. When you hit the nitrous in the game it has the same fx as in the movie with that rainblow blur. There is also a break mode. You hit it and everything goes into slow-mo but it also increases the weight of your car during the sequence so it is like a tank. You use it to bust through road blocks. It's a damn good racer and there are stunts and breakable scenery. Some wicked ass shortcuts too. It's a lot of fun going head to head with a friend AND having 20 cops and a helicopter chasing you all in regular traffic! Intense. Xbox Live is giving away Forza Fast & Furious for Xbone & 360. This is the last day you can get it free though. I don't know if it's any good but it's Forza so I would expect it is good. I've seen parts of the other F&F's but really haven't bothered to sit down and watch the whole thing. Hope not because if so I'm trolling the Kindergarten according to that thing. Cocaine, it's a helluva drug. \ \ \ \ \ \.~..~..~..~..~..~..~..~..~..~..~... Billy Mays too! Like a retarded K5 lemonparty You should apologize for insulting the intelligence of fools. Even boxes of rocks have a higher IQ than Congress. If con is the opposite of pro, who's surprised that Congress is the opposite of progress? In 1949 the 80th US Congress was nicknamed the "Do Nothing" Congress because they 'only' passed 906 public bills. In 2012 the 112th Congress outdid them by only managing to pass 196 bills. In this Congress, the House of Representatives had the largest number of Republican members, 242, since the 80th Congress. These clowns nearly ruined the credit rating of America they also nearly shut down the government just to keep from giving any money to Planned Parenthood. The 113th Congress had the highest disapproval rating of any US Congress ever. These imbeciles actually did shutdown the government because, well, because Ted Cruz thought it would be a good idea. Oops. Their approval rating dropped to 10%, the lowest in history. 21 Members of the House and 1 Senator had no educational degree beyond a high school diploma. No telling what we can expect from the 114th. Or rather NOT expect. The 2014 elections gave the Republicans control of both houses of Congress. But even with that they continue having a difficult time making decisions. I don't know why . . . get re-elected? It's very simple. It is called gerrymandering. Seats are apportioned based on the 2010 Census. The republicans used their influence in key states to redraw the district maps in a way that makes some seats "safe". That means that they are rigged so that the incumbent can not lose an election. These key legislators have no accountability and wield considerable influence. Yeah but republicans eat babies Yeah but Republicans are so gay U Mad bro? Those "Make $$$ in Your Spare Time" emails do not count as job offers. LOL They're too busy creating it for themselves You should spend more time working on your artistic talents then you could create your own money yourself. Nothing else compares to that sense of pride you get when you ink that first home made Benjamin. Obviously you don't belong there You just can't walk into a thing like that and start waving your Crawcock around. It doesn't matter if you are correct or whatever. If you are not organizing it then you play by their rules, shut up, be respectful and play with others. if you do not want to play by their rules then do not attend. It is not your responsibility to babysit the attendees. It doesn't matter that they are 25. They are over the age of consent they are responsible for their own shit. If they feel like broadcasting shit to Russia and China well, that is on them. Sure, you can advise. But it's not your place to run shit. If you want to do that then plan your own startup weekend and do it like you want. People have different priorities than you do. Some people like twitter even if you don't. I would advise you to just stay the fuck away from the event all together. It will just be frustrating for both you and everyone else. Or Not. Go, make a scene, run around and shut off the power to keep the building from exploding, act like a nutjob and ruin the entire event for everyone. Make the news and then stalk the reporter that covers it. Seriously, then write it all up for the entertainment of your fellow kurons. It will give us something to talk about. That crazy Crawford, what ever will he think of next! No, I defer to Dr Griffith and Dr Blastar They are both far more versed in the study of Crawfordology. I am merely a hobbyist. I simply prefer to catch them, place them in my killing jar and then pin them to my spreading board for display. No good deed goes unpunished Look at Snowden, look at Manning. If you are going to do that kind of thing then you have to accept that you will catch shit for it. The Molly Youngs are going to come for you. You are going to be crucified dawg. If you go in expecting to be the HERO and get justice and be lauded then you have already failed. Damn the torpedoes, but remember, they will be shooting back. It's the price you pay. Take anyone for that matter The people that get the 'attaboys', the glory, the accolades, whatever. They are all team players. They work within the system, they respect the status quo. They excel but they do so in a way that is socially acceptable. On the other hand those that follow their own principles, the ones that buck the system, the ones that seek change are never respected. Well, maybe years after they are dead perhaps. When it is obvious to everyone that the change they brought about is better. They are always alone. Often ridiculed. But it doesn't matter, because they follow their code regardless. Like I was using Snowden as an example. You know Obama didn't invite him to the Whitehouse. Give him a handshake and a pat on the back and thank him for his service to the country. Thank him for shining a light on the corruption and secrecy, the spying of our own citizens. No, he had the Justice Department file three felony charges against him. He equated the man with a terrorist giving aid and comfort to our enemies. He wanted to have him apprehended and sent to Gitmo. Dude had to give up everything, even the love of his life and flee to Russia just to survive. For guys like that the knowledge that they are doing the right thing has to be its own reward. They sure ain't going to get any medals from anyone else. LISTEN UP PEOPLE Man cannot have any affect on the environment whatsoever. We are tiny cogs in the great gear of Mother Earth, grinding away until we are but dust. Case in point. Not so very long ago we, (mankind) literally dumped like a Great Lakes worth of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. And it's perfectly fine! Hell it is cleaner today than it ever was. And just to prove it we have already sunk another dozen deep water wells just like it! No problems! Mother Nature is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Just like a woman, if she is legitimately raped, then her body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. And any CO2 or other gases we might "accidentally" release into the environment, well good old nature has a way of cleaning that up also. It's the great mystery of life. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You missed the sarcasm tag I assume I was referencing Sen Todd Akin's ignorant remarks about how women couldn't get pregnant if they were 'legitimately' raped. And if you think that the Gulf is 'recovered' from the Deepwater Horizon incident, well then let me invite you to a nice steaming plate of fine Gulf shrimp and crawfish. You know the oil makes them so much easier to peel, the skin just sloughs right off the meat! you have heard the Wilhelm Scream It is like the stock scream when someone falls off a cliff or a train or building or whatever in the movies. It's that classic AAAAAAIIIIIIYYYYEEEEEE! Most famous was the dude in Indiana Jones where the rope bridge broke. They dub that shit in. It's the most famous fucking scream ever. I don't know about my ancestors But most of my family are rednecks so yes, there is quite a dearth of erudite thought. It's mostly, "Hey Jimmy-bob, seen you got that there new truck. Really like the Mossy Oak paint job!" "Yep, I got the four by package and they threw the cow horns in free a charge. Just got back from Walmart. Picked up a bed full of ammo. I hear tell that Obarma done going to make bullets illegal again." "Yeah that nigger gonna sell us all out to the Iranians. Guess we better learn how to speak that sand language. What do they call that, what the Iranians speak?" "Sand Niggergerian I reckon. One of them there African languages.' "Is them Iranians from Africa?" 'Yeah, you dumbass. Where do you think? They live over there in East Africa somewheres around that there Sarah Ann Desert. Didn't you take Geography in school?" "Hell yeah, two or three times." I have read that the idea of early people thinking the Earth was flat is pretty much a myth. Even the Indian cultures in North and South America were aware that the Earth was round. It is believed that the Chinese probably knew the Earth was round and most likely the Persians also knew the Earth was round. For one thing the Moon is readily visible and was an important part of early life. The moon is quite obviously round. For another thing anyone who lived near the ocean, for example the Mediterranean. Or in any area with large flat expanses was intuitively aware that the world was round. Because objects far out to sea or at a distance in the desert say, as they approached first you would see the top of the object and gradually the rest of it would come into view. This only made sense if the Earth was a sphere. AFAIK only religious institutions insisted that the Earth was flat. Long before Columbus, the Greeks and Romans tried to compute the diameter of the Earth using shadows cast by tall rods at noon. Now, the one thing that early man was mistaken about for several thousand years is that most people assumed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the moon, sun and all the planets revolved around it. I'm no physicist but even I know that it has nothing to do with humans or consciousness or any of that messy BS. It is the observer. Which is to say when a measurement is made. The thought experiment includes a human that physically opens the box and observes or "measures" the cat. But just like any such you cannot get caught up in either the cat or the scientist. These are all just proxies meant to illustrate the paradox. And paradox it is. That is it is a situation that is self-contradictory. It is a failure in QM. It's just that it is such a mind-bender that people forget what it is all about in the first place. Even Einstein thought it was ridiculous. What one needs to take away is that the cat is not a "proof" but a refutation. It is an indication that more work needs to be done. It is a glitch in the Matrix, a bug in the program. Happy National Beer Day! It sounds like one of those made up holidays, but National Beer Day came into being on April 7, 1933. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt had taken the first step toward ending Prohibition. For the first time in 13 years, people were allowed to buy and sell beer, as long as it had less than 4 percent alcohol by volume. Some bars are giving Happy Hour prices all day today. A few are even providing "notes' for those who decide to take off from work in order to celebrate. You may also want to take this opportunity to mark your calendar for May 11-15. If you didn't know that is American Craft Beer Week. "That's when the craft beer industry has some pomp and circumstance around the beer," he said. "We'll have events and tastings during that. We get a whole week instead of just a day!" says Jim Massoni, president and chief executive officer of Florida Beer Co. Bottoms up people! Problem the first kind English mother fucker. Do you speak it? Problem the second K5 this is broke we are hmmmm? indifferent we are money implies commitment commitment leads to hate hate leads to the dark side Bud Light with Lime There is a special place in hell for the guy that created that. Right next to the Clamato and all these Beertinis or Beer-o-Ritas they started selling in the local grocery store. Sunday Morning in the South Blue Laws And it doesn't only apply to aLcoLoL. One would be amazed at the types of merchandise unavailable for sale on Sunday. Dry vs Wet In my town we have a lot of Hardcore Baptists. If they had their way the entire county would be dry. However this is also a college town. So what happens is, one side of town is wet. The side of town where the school is. There are a number of bars and pubs along the street near the main entrance of the university. On the other side of town where the golf course and most of the older generation live it is dry as a bone. Myself, I live on the North side where all the correction facilities, law enforcement and donut shops are. It's semi wet. By that I mean there are no bars or clubs and no liquor stores but one can purchase beer to consume off premises. The State of the Union is United in Foolishness. READY [ ] Look at the bright side When you get ready to retire you can move to nearly anyplace other than the Left Coast and live out your Golden Years as a mother fucking KING! "God damn, this five bedroom ranch house with five acres and a pool/spa cost the same as a sublet in a porta-potty back in Cali!" Romance They were tired of living and wanted to spend eternity together. He did her then took himself out and now they are together throughout eternity. Such a sweet story. Reminds me of that couple Lela and Raymond Howard, a few years back. They were both suffering from numerous ailments. Their lives had become a routine. Get up, take meds, visit the doctor, eat a bite, watch TV, go to bed. They weren't even able to work in their garden anymore or piddle in his shop. They were scheduled to go to a family function at the Pioneer Day Festival in Temple Tx. That morning they had their suitcases on the bed, toiletries laid out. They never finished packing. Some time early that morning they got in their vehicle and left. Leaving the suitcases, the toiletries, the medicines. They were seen later that day in Temple at an ice cream shop. Witnesses said they were animated, talking, holding hands, smiling and laughing. They never arrived at the family function. Credit card records show they stopped for gas. And late in the afternoon they pulled into a cafe and enjoyed a nice meal. The waitress there said they seemed happy and left a good sized tip. By this time their son had visited the house as it was usually their habit to call him before they took any trip out of town. But they had not called him nor had they left any note. Left behind were the half-packed suitcases. Food and water had been left out for their pet cats. Otherwise the house was left in perfect condition. The beds were made, dishes were washed and the trash was taken out. The son called the authorities and reported them missing. A silver alert was issued for the couple. Late in the evening an Arkansas state trooper pulled them over for speeding and a bad tail light. The silver alert had not yet propagated so far east and so he simply wrote them a citation and let them proceed on their way. The location that they were pulled over was quite near the town where Lela had grown up. They had met there when Raymond had been attending a school while in the service. They were very familiar with the area. That was the last time they were seen. It was summer. Several searches were done with both helicopters and dogs but no sign was found. Later, as winter moved in a pair of boys hiking in the area came across the wreckage of a car at the bottom of a cliff. At that point the road made a curve and on the other side was a deep draw. The wreck had been covered during the summer by brush and high grass so it was very well hidden. Inside was the remains of an elderly man and woman. An investigation confirmed that the deceased were in fact Lela and Raymond. All indications were they died immediately on impact. It appeared from examination that they hadn't even used the brakes. They practically drove the car straight off the cliff into the draw at relatively high speed. The story made the news and the group Fastball even wrote a song about it. That is a very nice summary of Insurance but has nothing whatsoever to do with forecasting weather. I didn't get that. He said that Goldman Sachs manages risk by taking out insurance. Then he says that you can't manage the risk of an incorrect weather prediction in the same way. As far as I can tell he makes no judgement as to the wrongness or rightness of either arbitrage or insurance. Rather he is pointing out that the author of the article, Nate Silver, is using a flawed analogy to describe weather forecasting. I understand that Mr Bladder is often quite annoying but in this instance I am in agreement with his statement. a fav topic of his Oh absolutely, Mr Bladder is generally antagonistic to any institution or individual that has any money whatsoever. I think because they don't freely share with him. I kind of think that is what he really means by 'scarcity'. The fact that they have shit and he doesn't. I don't think I have met anyone with a greater sense of entitlement. Nothing you say makes any sense. Economics applies to certain activities and only those activities. Certainly you can link to people that claim their economic theory applies to all types of things but that doesn't make them correct any more than chemists trying to make analogies tying market transactions to chemical reactions. It's the age old idea that if what you have is a hammer then every problem becomes a nail. They can scream and yell all they like but just being loud doesn't constitute proof of position. Anyone who claims otherwise can be safely ignored. They are no more correct than the learned physicians diagnosing patients based on the excess or deficiency of humours. I'm certain that in their day they too could prove that all diseases and disabilities were the result of the levels of the four humours in the human body. How on Earth would the study of production, distribution and consumption of goods and services have anything whatsoever to do with atmospheric processes? No First of all your mathematical theorems have no place in the discussion. It isn't that they are right or wrong it is just that it is the wrong domain. Human choices have naught to do with the weather. That is governed by different processes. Even if we concede that human activity has an effect on weather the Free Market Theorems do not apply for the very same reasons that you use to define a Free Market. Those very definitions that you have used to show how what we, the non-economists think of as a free market is NOT in truth a Free Market. So even though your axioms are true, attempting to use them in weather forecasting is like trying to weigh an elephant using a protractor. As for the belief in excess and deficiencies of humors causing disease, well, no that was not the best model they had. In those days they didn't apply the scientific method. People like Aristotle would just sit around and think about shit and come up with things that made sense to them. They used to treat things like schizophrenia by sticking an ice pick through your eye socket and into the prefrontal lobe then moving it around vigorously. They had no idea what they were doing just that the patient seemed calmer afterwards (because he had been violently lobotomized) but there wasn't anything like what we would think of as a 'model'. I mean they just figured the human body was made out of the four basic elements. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. So you have a quick temper? Obviously you have too much fire in you so lets force feed you a cask full of cold water and that should fix you right up! The definition of Economics is the study of production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. So in that domain your theorems and math are perfectly valid and useful. But taking those same theorems and applying them in other domains would be folly. No matter how correct they are, no matter how useful they are. Just like a hammer is a wonderful tool for driving a nail. It is a simple, elegant and powerful. But then you start using it on screws. Well it sort of works. And then you start applying it to more things with varying degrees of success until one day you try to repair your laptop with the hammer. Now the hammer hasn't changed. It is still correct. It is still a simple, elegant and powerful tool. But it doesn't make any sense to apply it to your laptop. Just let me clear something up here before we get way off on the wrong foot. Engineer or not, you seem to be well versed in Economic theory. Much more than I am for sure. Some things you say I'm not sure I agree with them but I'm willing to concede the point. My one and only problem is that lately you seem to have been tying everything to economic theory and in particular the FREE MARKET. I can only speak for myself but all this FREE MARKET business is beginning to sound like trane going on about Basic Income and challenges. Furthermore, you may be entirely correct and certainly technically correct as far as saying that what we, the common person, thinks of as a FREE MARKET really isn't. That's cool. However, the general consensus is that the FREE MARKET is this broken thing that we deal with every day. Now you may be trying to educate us that it is NOT, by definition a FREE MARKET. Unfortunately, it isn't going to make any difference. I have drawn the same parallel between the term HACKER and CRACKER. Now most nerds know that HACKERS are neither good or evil they just explore systems and discover new and interesting ways to use those systems. CRACKERS on the other hand tend to exploit systems for their own gain. Now many people tried and tried to educate people that HACKERS did not equal CRACKERS but in the end it didn't matter. And nowadays people equate the term HACKER with someone looking to fuck shit up. In the same way what people think of when the term FREE MARKET is mentioned is something quite different than what you describe. That is what causes the problem when you say, "Hey the free market is wonderful and will solve all our problems" and we respond with, "Dude what crack have you been smoking? The Free Market anally raped me and left me bleeding in the ally after it stole my wallet." Just because he makes the analogy doesn't mean anything. Ron Jeremy could make the analogy that economics are like his dick. That doesn't mean anything. That is what I was saying. Some people fall in love with their theories so much they start to apply them to things for which they are ill suited. and it isn't just economics. I hear all the time people trying to fit the theories that work well in the domains with which they are familiar to other things for which they are ill suited. For example, something we hear quite often is politicians saying that government budgets are the same as a household budget. Now, I'm not even going to get into your ideas about deficits don't matter and all that shit. However, it is quite obvious to any intelligent person that the government budget is quite different from Joe Sixpacks household budget. But that is a false analogy that is often brought forward. Happy Passover Hope you got lambs blood. Well the bastards were wrong as fuck Said it was going to be sunny 84F and it was fucking raining 56F. In Texas there are only three seasons, Hot as Fuck, Cold as Hell, and What the Fuck. The one GOOD thing about the weather here is if you don't like it just wait a few minutes and it will change. You seem to have great difficulty with Natural Language yourself. Constantly correcting your own posts. So much friction! If it was as robust, flexible and self-correcting as you claim then you should never have to correct yourself. How could a computer begin to cope? Now, go ahead and make some disparaging reply concerning my age and call me an idiot or dimwit. Don't forget to alter my username to something creative and witty like TDILDO. Then be sure and blame me for being an Ignorant Mother Fucker too blind and complacent in my privilege to be able to recognize the golden unicorn which only you can see. Wow, I just realized . . . Microsoft turned 40 yo today HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICROSOFT almost too late but I still have 45min Thank goodness Bill didn't take a left turn at Albuquerque! What's up, Docx? LOL Can you even imagine what life would be like today if Microsoft had never existed? Can you even comprehend a world without MS-DOS or Windows or Office? EMBRACE EXTEND EXTINGUISH Yeah, everybody wants to beat up on MS but seriously, The partnership of MS and Intel was the L.C.D. that helped bring computing to the masses. If it had been left up to JOBS, jesus! I think the state of the art would still be something like a LISA for like five grand or so. Share how Microsoft saved YOUR life and fulfilled you as a person. MS does the Dad dance Mid-Life Crisis? Bill Gates: What matters most now is what we do next The Highs (Windows XP) and the Lows (ME Clippy Bob) Something most regular users don't realize But Microsoft has always provided metric fucktons of resources for developers. Many fantastic technologies have been made available that just never really caught on, mainly because of neck beard paranoia. If only MS had of been a bit more proactive with security. Even still, a lot of neat ideas just never gained traction. And then PC Gaming. It just wouldn't be the same if we had to leave it up to Apple or any UNIX variant. Price wise and customization wise. the Free Market is the most likely source I am really unsure if you include Govt sponsored research as part of the Free Market or not. I don't want to get into that again with you. But just talking about research that is profit motivated vs research that is not, like NASA and DARPA and similar. I think the really revolutionary innovations are going to come out of the pure research rather than profit focused research. Research done in the expectation of return on investment seems focused on short term goals and often neglects interesting discoveries that look difficult to market. Pure research though has given us many breakthroughs. However, you are absolutely correct that the avg Joe getting a Basic Income is unlikely to come up with the GUT. Nor is that the intention of UBI. Anyway I'm not arguing with you, I also think that your comment is quite good. My buddy was asking me about bitcoin Friday. He read in the WSJ about the Silk Road investigating agents stealing bitcoin. I told him how to get a wallet and send me the code and I would send him some to play with. Maybe more people will start getting interested with all this press. He told me he called his banker and asked about it but the bank guy said he had never even heard of it. Simulations I understand the secret service is getting ready to drop a few mil on a duplicate Whitehouse for training purposes. A realistic holosuite would be quite cost effective. Not only could it be used to simulate the actual Whitehouse (I'm assuming TNG level of VR of course) but when not employed as such it could serve as a VR of different Insurgent Headquarters, private villas of rebel leaders, Hijacked Aircraft, etc. Of course I realize that this is all fantasy. But if we were able to invent holodeck level VR technology imagine the savings compared to physical mockups! Says the man with no pot to piss in nor window to throw it out of. Watch out, we got us an Internet BadAss over here Except AIDS And how lazy and unproductive are you? I understand you have had a hard and difficult life but others have it just as difficult and often even more difficult. For fuck's sake! I ain't the one screaming for free shit For the most part I do what everyone else does, try to make a living, try to keep the wife happy, visit my friends, spend time with my dad, spoil my granddaughter, fuck around on the internet, play video games, drink a little, toke a little, eat as much BBQ and Mexican food as I can. Try to stay out of trouble. But I tell you what I don't do is toke up in the library toilet like a fucking moron or wait around for a god damn government issued robot slave, a basket full of free money and an hour in virtual reality. Fuck you back parasite. The world would be neither better nor worse off without you as it is quite indifferent to your existence altogether. I'm certain you make your parents quite proud They probably always dreamed of having a crack head bum for a son. I imagine your father went to bed every night hating himself for not leaving you in that crusty sock. I assume he's killed himself by now from the shame and humiliation. If wishes were horses then beggars would ride Mr Bladder is no different from the bums of a century ago. They too complained about how the "Bulls" were keeping them down and how unfair the world was. How they were smarter than the sheep because they had figured it all out. That work was for suckers and they were better than that. Absolutely convinced while they drank their cheap wine and rotgut, dressed in rags and living out of a boxcar. I'm glad you posted this I had typed a reply earlier but deleted it because why bother? i really wish EBladder would stop advocating Basic Income. I think UBI is a wonderful idea and actually believe that we as a society will be forced to implement some form of UBI to correct the growing issue of wealth inequality. It is no longer a fringe issue either as the disparity between the wealth of a very small percentage of the population and EVERYONE else continues to grow. However Mr Bladder is like the Cheech & Chong advocate for marijuana legalization. He is a walking example of every criticism of UBI made flesh. He goes on about challenges yet to my knowledge he absolutely refuses to engage in any challenges himself. He can't even rise to the challenge of doing the work required for the MOOCs for which he volunteers! Instead wanting the answers given to him. That is the thing, he wants his Basic Income and free money but expects others to do the hard work of which he also expects to benefit. For example he doesn't want to help design and construct a holodeck. He just wants other people to design and build it for him and SOON so that he can take advantage of it. I cannot imagine anyone who feels more entitled. For one thing you parasite I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I grew up in the god damn desert with nothing. I joined the Navy and I worked hard for what I have. I didn't just lay around wishing for handouts. I made shit happen. You say I lie but you have bitched on more than one occasion how unfair it was that the teacher or the other students wouldn't just give you the answers. You say you have completed more MOOCs and what have you done with that knowledge? Mostly it seems you come here and talk about how your professors are idiots and hand waving and making it all up to be mean. You demonstrate time and again how ignorant you remain yet you call ME the Ignorant Motherfucker. You say I have never been challenged. HA. I have sought out challenge. I don't WANT to be bored sitting around with my thumb up my ass. I make shit happen. In another comment you spoke about living in your car for two years. See I would not accept that. I would find some way to improve my situation, to raise myself up out of that condition. You are the parasite, You are the dimwit. You are the fool and the bum that wants everything handed to you. You are the weak one that would rather escape to wilderness than take on the challenge of improving your life. There are many many hard luck cases on this website. People that have literally lost all that was most important to them. Some couldn't handle it and took a hike. Others worked through the pain and the loss and found a way to live. Some are even today struggling to make it through. But they arent crying for the government to bail them out or for some imaginary holodeck or robot army to put them on their feet. They are doing what they can with what they have. But not you, no you just say Fuck it! Government needs to give me free money and a robot slave and a holodeck so I can be by myself and live in my fantasy world. Even when you talk about suicide you want the government to provide a free and pleasant method. Someone seriously needs to slap some god damn common sense into that thick skull of yours. You are deluded from all that crack and weed you smoke I guess. You call my existence pathetic but I have a family and friends that love and care about me. I have colleagues that respect me. I don't live in a mansion or drive a greyhound sized rv like you seem to think. I am not financially "rich" either in any sense of the word. But I am rich with the people that are in my life. Yeah, I am an Ignorant Mother Fucker all right. I'm pretty god damn stupid. I barely know my ass from a hole in the ground. But I ain't no lazy ass bum that is for god damn sure. progressive income taxes Recently I read an argument about doing away with income taxes and redoing sales tax in a way that would exempt more items that are required to live and a much larger burden on luxuries and non-essentials. They argued that a millionaire isn't really a millionaire if he lives in a shack and keeps his money in a mattress. On the other hand most people that have money tend to buy multiple nice houses, have several cars, jewelry and that. I'm not sure that would really work, just the guy made a good case. I know enough to realize that it is really complicated since taxes act as a deterrent to behaviour. I don't have a problem with people making lots of money. However I do think that people who receive a greater benefit from society have a greater responsibility to society in return. And the current situation where someone like say, Mitt Romney pays a significantly smaller proportion of his income in taxes than his secretary is just wrong. Oh well, it's late (or early) and I'm kind of toasted, my filters aren't in and I'm probably talking out my ass. I can imagine re-reading some of my comments later today and doing a facepalm. Happy Easter procrasti, hopefully the Resurrection Bunny leaves you an egg basket full of bitcoins and blow. Well it involves Big Data so . . . my guess is it is a database for your gay porn collection? Stone Pillow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLpYKWocylI Actually I would not want to be young nor beautiful. I wouldn't mind being middle age again. Thirty to forty, well hell, thirty to fifty even is probably the best time of life. I worked hard to get as good looking as I am today. The one thing I would like more than great looks is to be free of pain. Getting old HURTS. It hurts to wake up, hurts walking around, hurts bending over, etc. etc. I don't mind my gray hair or really anything about getting older except for the constant nagging aches. That's pretty rough I imagine sleeping is the worst part. There is no way you could really get a good night rest sleeping in a vehicle. That would make every other aspect of life even more difficult. Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream. So yes, evidently they do let homosexuals indulge in ice cream. I'm sorry you have been denying yourself that simple pleasure. Now you can enjoy yourself a nice bowl after you get DP'd by your boyfriends. Isn't life grand? Whose creamer are you stealing? If you think an imaginary blow job is great You should try the real thing. I'm surprised you haven't got one of your Jr High School girlfriends to blow you already. But yeah I can imagine how scary those braces probably look to you. But, I've never had that problem I am going to assume that you have never had that problem because you are not a rapist. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe if you're bad at sex, and the woman didn't really like it, she'll come at you the next day with rape allegations... like a defence for if she regrets it. That is a terrible thing to say. Rape is a real thing and not just something women use against men in retaliation for 'bad sex'. Dude, that isn't something to worry about Even these days, the stigma and shame of rape is not something a women is going to go through just because the guy didn't live up to her expectations. Think about it. If you went out and got drunk, and then the next day you woke up with five bucks and a sore asshole would you be willing to go to the cops and say you were raped? Would you maybe just keep it quite and push the incident deep down and forget it ever happened? Same thing with women. Most rapes go unreported. I understand you had a "friend". But that bitch was nuts. Like you say she had done that before. You can't extrapolate her behaviour to the rest of female society. On the other hand I can understand why you might have a poor view of women due to the types of women you hang around with. But all women aren't like those whores. No, you are more likely to get ripped off after a night of drunken sex than you are to be charged with rape for poor performance. "He's a smart guy that Rick I think he can see into the future. He told me that my butt might hurt for a couple days. . . And it did!" WARNING Link contains music by Deadmau5 In the article It says "... rape is primarily motivated by sexual urges." Everything I have read or heard says that rape is not about sex but rather power and control. The whole thing sounds like a bunch of men talking about something they know little about. Kind of like Conservative Politicians discussing women's issues. "First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." - Rep Todd Akin I have a Kickstarter for a messaging system Called Stroker. With Stroker you can share messages called "strokes" with your friends across the globe. You reply to strokes with your own 'Reacharounds' so that the entire community is constantly trading strokes and reacharounds. And if someone is offline you can alert them to a stroke using the FIST protocol. So you say you're busy you can tell your friend Hey buddy, Fist me later then you can stroke me and I'll give you a reacharound. Reminds me of that scene in Clerks Death Star Contractors I remember also back around that time a bunch of vids with Star Wars characters. Like there was a episode of COPS only with Imperial Stormtroopers and then even a fucking Clerks only it was like a convenience store on the Death Star. Some fucking shit. LOL!

I hate April Fools Day. Too many god damn fools. United and otherwise. Me too. I did that Jimmy Kimmel prank. Where you wait til your buddy takes that first sip of morning coffee and just as they get a good swig you smile big and mischievous like and say, "April Fools!". LOL Then you go like, 'So that coffee tastes pretty good huh?' That was good for a few moments of hilarity. (ASIDE) OMG. The fucking News at Noon is showing fucking YouTube videos that I saw yesterday on Facebook. Jesus Christ this country is going to shit. I don't know why but in my mind's eye when I think trane I see Butters from South Park. Even his comments and diaries I read in Butters' voice. (y) TDILLO Likes your post (y) is facebook code for the "thumbs up" emoji. Such silly girls! What were they thinking? For example, this chick Margie WTF? Like what in the world does she think she is doing? She would be much more comfortable picking out china patterns I'm certain. Or little Gracie Hopper. You know Math is just too hard for such a pretty thing. She needs to be sewing booties. And of course young Anna. What a waste to have such a sweet thing stressing over Science and Technology when she could be taking her offspring to soccer practice in her mini-van. But they didn't send one to you did they? Fucking scarcity thinking! They should send one to everybody. an Islamic Corporation that follows Sharia law That would seem logical, however, I assure you that no such thing will be allowed. This law is to protect white, christian, pro-life, anti-gay business only. It's written for the Tea-Party, by the Tea-Party. It means Republicans want the US to become a Theocracy. One nation under God. As long as it is a gay hating, pro-life, racist, christian God. Religion belief trumps Law. (but don't let what Blastar says fool you. Muslim, Hindu, Wiccan DO NOT apply!) Also you are witnessing the rise of the corporatocracy. First SCOTUS granted corporations Free Speech. This grants corporations Freedom of Religion. Soon they will be granted all the other rights enjoyed by citizens. Meanwhile those same rights will be restricted for citizens. For our own good, for our safety, for the children. It's like that one woman politician said in her campaign the other day, "The ability to get people to donate money is more important than the ability to get people to vote." Tdillo is just angry I am not angry. And you are quite incorrect that this protects everyone. But believe what you like. All that ruckus going on your way is just the law enforcement community exercising their religious belief in cracking nigger skulls. Whatever you say dude. It just puzzles me why, if these laws are such a good thing protecting everybodies religious beliefs, are all these businesses, organizations, individuals, etc. all upset about it? Maybe you need to send an email out and explain it to them how this is such a good and righteous thing? It's a good thing we have smart men like yourself to show us the error of our thinking. The world needs more stand up guys like yourself to lead us forward. I know right? All these idiots just knee-jerking, all these corporate leaders and legislators and other high powered individuals talking out their ass! All they have to do is RTFM, amirite? You're a fucking genius dude. Clearly you are more knowledgeable than they are and it's just a shame that folks don't acknowledge your superior intellect. I am in awe of your legalistic brilliance Obviously no one has even gone so far as to read the relief provision including the Second, Eighth, Ninth, and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals! Those idiots! It is very strange how the argument is framed They keep talking on tv about not being allowed to eat somewhere. Or being forced to take pictures at a wedding you don't support. That's stupid. I don't know why they bring that up. One place I worked (as a teen) we had a policy that we reserved the right to refuse service to anyone. Similar to the no shoes no shirt no service sign. There were times when that policy had to be invoked. Nobody got sued for discrimination or anything. Where the Indiana law and others can cause real problems is like if I own rental property and refuse to rent to wiccans because they practice witchcraft. Or if I am a credit company that refuses to loan money to a couple because I found out they are pro-choice. Look dude. You can peddle your bullshit all you want. People much smarter than you have been laying out what this law does and doesn't allow. BOTH conservatives AND liberals. The only people who support this law are bigots and extreme right wing nutjobs. Even Gov Pence is aware of what this law does and doesn't do. That's why he couldn't answer Yes or No to a direct question by George Stephanopoulos. Very powerful, influential, intelligent people are writing to the various State Governors to veto similar bills. So, when you continue to deny that this law was created for the sole purpose to allow discrimination then you become simply a TOOL. Further you expose your own ignorance much like your other stooge buddy who constantly harpos on about Laws of Thermodynamics being "made up" and all that other bullshit. Now, you want to make a fool of yourself then be my guest. I don't know why you would choose to do so. Perhaps this is your idea of an elaborate troll. I dunno. So why are these companies pulling out and refusing to continue to do business there in order to protect their employees? Don't tell me these multimillion dollar companies which employ armies of lawyers don't understand what the law does and doesn't do. That you, a disabled man reading some heavily biased right-wing propaganda and wikipedia articles are smarter than the people that run these companies? Screaming it doesn't do this and it doesn't do that when clearly it does indeed. The Gov himself couldn't categorically deny that the law did not allow discrimination. But as I said. There is criticism by both sides not just progressives. We are not now nor have we ever been close to losing our religious freedom. In fact what we are seeing is a religious minority forcing their religious views on the majority and that is wrong. I'm pretty sure you are trolling now and having a wonderful time doing so. People who mistook you for Glenn Beck were more prescient than they could possibly have imagined. The entire law provides for discrimination Just because you deny it doesn't make it so. I'm going to continue to agree with those who make a living in interpreting law as to what this law means over a random troll on the internet. Yes I did read the law. Not the Wikipedia version either but THE ACTUAL Law at in.gov. I already explained to you that the entire law provides for discrimination. There is not one clause within the law that does so but the entirety of it. You know that. You're just trolling. This is a troll and i am biting. But go ahead and reply so you can claim the LAST WORD but I assure you that I will bite no longer. I have explained my position and the position of others. You choosing to deny it does not make you right. You can deny the sun will rise tomorrow, that it is merely an illusion but rise it will and your tinny voice on a fringe website will not change that fact one iota. Sorry, I had shit to do and wasn't able to listen to the news today. Unfortunately I don't get disability and am unable to spend all day watching tv and fucking around on the net. fools cannot build Rome Don't feel bad though, they seem to have done alright with Florida.

Distrowatch started early With a report that systemd devs Lennart Poettering and Ivan Gotyaovoich had forked the Linux kernel.

Remember when rusty made K5 look like Metafilter and vice versa? That seems so long ago now. Hell that was back when Crawford actually shipped software. Jimmy Kimmel had a suggestion for a good prank on his show last night. He said as your friend or co-worker or whatever sits down with their morning cuppa, just as they take a sip you smile at them and say "April Fools!". They'll think you fucked with their coffee. Speaking of Jimmy Kimmel, he had the band Van Halen on last night and they'll perform again tonite. They blocked off Hollywood Blvd for the kickoff to their reunion tour. Fuck man, it was sad. David Lee Roth is up there looking like he's fucking bald. He was gyrating his geriatric hips. I don't see him doing his trademark jump in the air and do a split anymore. Fucker liable to break a hip. Eddie was actually the best looking one of the bunch. And he could still hit the licks. Even still I have actually heard better from kids doing covers on YouTube. Alex looks like he is ready to join that other bunch of senior rockers Aerosmith. He is so god damn ugly it doesn't matter how old he is. So what kind of shit will you pull today? Oh and BTW, How did you know I was a Nigga? Nigga When I first heard of the incident I thought maybe it was you and trane pulling some kind of weird homosexual Thelma & Louise stunt to prove your undying love for one another. What does this look like? A Genius Bar? You were probably holding it wrong. Insurance reasons If a passenger hurt themselves walking to the terminal the airport insurance carrier would not cover them and therefore leave the airport and possibly the airline open to a huge lawsuit.

But as an Indiana Restaurateur I can deal with that. What I cannot have is them gays in here leaving their AIDS on the dishes and silverware! I don't think that shit comes off in the dishwasher! I have to throw them out every time and that adds up! God Bless Governor Mike Pence! Are they gay? Are you gay? Transgendred? Then you all best keep your faggot asses out of Indiana. Gov. Mike Pence will not put up with your fairy ass Sodomite behaviour any longer! He will teach you queer folk the true meaning of Hoosier Hospitality right up in your ass. Ah, so you're still in the closet then. Just like the Republican Caucus of the Indiana Legislature and Gov. Mike Pence. You know how I like them tight white boys . . . And so you're back from outer space. I just logged in to find you with that stupid look upon your face. I should've changed that stupid login, I should've banned your ISP, if I had known for just one second you'd be back to blog at me. Prohibition I was watching a movie this afternoon with my father. Nevermind what it was, it sucked but Dad likes it so whatever. But the film itself was about hillbillies making moonshine and corrupt cops and gangsters, politicians getting votes and all that. I think there was a love interest in there too, I dunno. Anyway, I was struck by the fact that the moonshine business was very much like the methamphetamine business. There were these rednecks 'cooking' the illegal drug. The end product was contaminated with all manner of adulterants. The industry drew massive retaliation and destruction and seizure of private property by the government. The business generated huge sums of money that attracted ever more sophisticated criminals and contributed to violence and corruption at all levels of society. But after only a few years the prohibition was repealed and now one can purchase alcohol in grocery stores. The 'bootleggers' of that era have been romanticized and become a part of our culture. Obviously it was not the substance itself that was the cause of the problems but rather its status as contraband. Now, don't misunderstand. I am no advocate of the recreational use of meth. Still it is quite clear to me that ANY prohibition on the use of substances by adults is just stupid and wasteful. I know that people jump up and say, "But I have seen the lives of people destroyed by the use of meth, (or cocaine or heroin or any currently illegal drug)" I don't dispute that. But I have seen lives of people destroyed by alcohol or the habitual use of tobacco also. But these things are legal and we have programs in place to deal with the problems. What about the lives destroyed by gambling or religion. Any thing that is taken to an extreme can be dangerous. And it is a greater danger when that substance or activity is made illegal and becomes beyond the reach of rational social systems to deal with it outside of law enforcement. We need to stop treating adults as children. We need to repeal all laws that are based on "morality". If you choose to engage in hiring a sex worker then as an adult you should be free to do so with out risk and having the same expectation of safety as you do when ordering a hamburger at McDonalds. That is not to say that we don't get bad burgers sometimes, but we have regulations to take care of that and hold those responsible accountable. Nothing is perfect in this world and trying to make it so is ridiculous. But simply banning an activity does not make it go away and may, like prohibition and alcohol, lead to even greater problems. Same with crack or weed or whatever. Slap a warning label on it, tax it and let the individual choose. Better that than forcing these idiots into smoking "Bath Salts" and then going out to chew on someone else's face. It's not about where the activity takes place It is the completely unregulated nature of the industry. If you don't have to have your corn-likker inspected for quality then you can mix it with horse urine and anti-freeze. What are your customers going to do? Turn you into the BBB? Your comment The problem is that once drugs are legalized like alcohol you'll find more people doing them in public at bars or convince stores and while stoned or high will be more likely to commit a crime because their inhibitions will be off. Absolutely ridiculous. Thousands of people right this minute are using drugs and alcohol across the entire GLOBE. Of those only an extremely small percentage will commit a crime. If what you say was even partially true then we would be buried in a sea of alcohol and drug related crime on a global scale. A enormously huge number of people use drugs and alcohol responsibly 24/7/365. Just because you cannot use responsibly is no reason to deny everyone the right to choose for themselves. And further, allowing adults to choose responsibly in no way obligates you to use. And if your "friends" treat you like that then I would suggest you acquire better friends. That is a percentage of people in jail Where are your stats of the people committing crime as a percentage of the entire population of drug and alcohol users? LOL So your argument that because ONE person committed an assault while under the influence then NO ONE should be allowed to use drugs? Had he been home fucking his girlfriend he might not have done that strong arm robbery and assaulted the police officer. Had he not eaten the last slice of pizza he might not have done that strong arm robbery and assaulted the police officer. What are you even saying? You make no sense. The other day a man was driving his Lincoln down I-45 in Houston when he ran over a construction worker. Should we outlaw Lincolns? I'm sorry you find it difficult to find friends. I have heard it said that in order to make friends one must be a friend. A link to an obviously biased source You are becoming tedious. You are still talking about percentage of those already incarcerated. What about the millions and millions of people who are right now enjoying a cold one or a toke? Are they going to all of the sudden turn into alcohol fueled reefer-maddened fiends raping and pillaging across the land? Dude. Give me a break! people on drugs don't ever get violent or do crime I never made that claim. That would be a ridiculous claim. I claim that out of the millions of people who are right now using drugs and or alcohol that only a very tiny percentage are going to be involved with crime. You don't need any studies or statistics for that. It's obvious. You walk into a bar you don't expect folks to be raping and killing and assaulting. People are having a good time. So why can't we let people make their own choices and then if they go and commit a crime then we deal with that? Rather than just saying NO you can't do that period because Blastar thinks you can't be responsible for your own actions. And in addition lets just let the cartels make all this fucking money and let them murder people in the streets and let the govt take your home away from you because your kid had a phat sack in his room. What the fuck? Are you INSANE? Well fucking look out for the bloodthirsty pubescents then! OMG We must ban puberty since it leads to violence and disoriented thinking! Thank you for making my point. I'm glad that you finally agree with me that we don't have to ban a thing in order to control a thing rationally as adults. That isn't proof. You could say the same about us. There could be other creatures higher on the food chain like Yeti or Sasquatch. Maybe we don't believe in them. And in turn their could be creatures even higher than them. etc etc. So according to your proof you have just proved that humans don't exist. Besides, whether or not God has a GOD is irrelevant. He would still be God to you. You can't apply logic to a God. Like asking "Could God create a rock so heavy that He couldn't lift it?" It seems like a nice little trick that dismisses God in an instant. But even a bit of thought shows how nonsensical that is. A being who by definition is supernatural and who controls the very fabric of Spacetime and physical processes. You have no way to either prove or disprove them using any measure available to you. How do you take the measure of a being who can alter your metrics with a will? How can a camel pass through the eye of a needle? For man that is impossible but with God ALL things are possible. No it is not proof. You haven't proved anything. You just are saying that the possibility exists that there may be a more powerful being. That isn't proof that there IS such a being just that there could be. Logic, maths and science are real in all realms. Careful. You realize that even in our OWN universe there have been times when the rules governing our current universe were quite different. Yeah I know that sounds abit like trane but seriously, I'm not coming up with this out of my own head. And further, it isn't known but theorized that there may exist other universes where Logic, math, physics are quite fluid. Basically all I'm saying is that we must remember that "There are more things in heaven and earth than ever dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio." We can't even be absolutely certain about our own reality, filtered as it is through our senses. You should be intuitively aware of that yourself. If it were not so then the introduction of certain chemicals into your bloodstream would not alter your perception of reality so. Now I realize that we rely on the fundamental reality not changing whether or not we are sober or under the influence. However, I must point out that the measurements we make are also filtered through our perceptions. We cannot prove that we do not in fact exist as brains in a jar or sims in a massive computer simulation. I don't believe we are but still we cannot prove beyond all doubt that we are not. Okay, trane. Whatever you say. I don't have any problem with what you say I have a problem with your certainty. I am denying nothing, you are denying. You are stating a certainty that you cannot know. No one does that except for crackpots. Nor am I resorting to ad hominems because I am no longer arguing with you. If you look back upon this thread you will see that it has already devolved to "You are wrong" "No, You are wrong". I find continuing to be tedious. You are convinced and I do not believe anything I say will disabuse you of your conviction. I make a comparison to trane because he also is convinced of his own truth and it is pointless to correct him. repealing them would fix anything Well for one thing it will keep a lot of people out of prison and jail that did nothing more harmful than possess a plant or chemical substance. It would make it more difficult for young people to get ahold of contraband. (NOT IMPOSSIBLE, I know there are many ways for a kid to get beer and cigs if they want) But it would cut into casual use if they had to be carded. Like I spoke about in the main diary it would make drugs and drug use safer. Like in the film they put all kinds of shit in their moonshine. Like what I hear about meth cooks putting shit in their meth or 'stepping on' their product to get more money. You go into a liquor store and buy a bottle of single malt scotch and you are assured that most likely it isn't horse piss and anti-freeze. It would keep people from buying "legal" psuedo drugs. Like Bath Salts and whatever that fake weed shit is that end up fucking a person over even worse than the real shit. Like that guy in FL that ate the dudes face after smoking Bath Salts. And like procrasti said, it would take money from these drug cartels and other hard core criminal elements that use the money to purchase military style weapons to kill people on the streets and to bribe police and public officials. It wouldn't end crime as we know it. Alcohol is legal and we still have people DUI and doing stupid shit but the thing is not EVERYONE that gets drunk or stoned is going to commit a crime. And the majority of people who get drunk or stoned do not commit crimes. Most people do just what you said. They get high or drink in the privacy of their own homes with friends and family or at clubs and bars having a good time and not wanting to hurt anyone. Why should these people be subject to arrest and forfeiture of money and property if they aren't hurting anyone by their actions? Why should these people have to be forced to compromise their safety by dealing with criminals when again they aren't doing harm? Who is the real criminal in this scenario? The people that deny responsible adults to make their own choices and in so doing create a framework for corruption, crime, abuse and death? Or is it the housewife that just wants to snort a line with her girlfriends? It's all upside down insane bizarro world thinking! Okay let me see if I follow Before Prohibition we had rampant alcohol abuse. Ok, that sounds plausible so I accept it as fact. Then Prohibition came and alcohol use declined significantly. After Prohibition alcohol use has increased but nothing near pre-Prohibition levels. And I believe that prior to Prohibition there was never other than perhaps for religious reasons, a restriction on the use of alcohol? Now with both 'hard' and 'soft' drugs we have a defacto Prohibition that has gone on for many years. So would it not be reasonable to assume that the repeal of our current Drug Prohibition might result in a similar trend to that of alcohol? That is there may be an increase in use but no where near "raging" levels of abuse? I also note that our social mores today are much different than they were in the roaring 20's and people are educated to greater extent about the use of substances and their health. As for getting my wish, I am not wishing. I really have no desire to use meth. I simply was watching a movie and noted the parallels between bootlegging moonshine and what little I know of the meth trade and the War on Drugs in general. I guess I just cannot see how a legal, regulated, taxed drug industry with treatment for those who have difficulty could be MORE DAMAGING than Cartels murdering people in the streets and politicians funding wars and all that other mess that we deal with today! And further, you know there were those that said when Colorado legalized use of Marijuana that it would be THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. But none of the things predicted came true. As far as I know there aren't a whole new population of stoners laying out on the sidewalks of Denver refusing to go to work and Organized Crime taking over the city. Same here in Texas when they wanted to legalize gambling. OMG! We were going to have Al Capone running the Capitol building and poor people would starve after spending and losing all their food money on lottery tickets and crime and fire and brimstone would rain down upon us! But the reality is that we have lottery tickets in the stores and you can do a QuickPick and Pretty Boy Floyd ain't got nothing on the crooks that were already in Austin. And there is a bus that picks up the little old ladies in the Walmart parking lot to take them to play slots at the Casino on the reservation. Same with the same sex marriage. Oh hell. It's going to destroy the institution of marriage forever! Dogs will lie down with cats! Anyway I don't have to continue. I'm sure everyone can see where I am going. It's ALWAYS doom and gloom. Oh shit we start treating people like Adult Human Beings and they'll FUCK IT ALL UP FOR EVERYBODY! Because everybody else is an IDIOT! Not ME of course. No I am a sensible person and I make rational decisions. Sure you do. So do I. So does everyone here at K5 without exception. It's them OTHER assholes that can't be trusted. I just can't see that argument as anything other than the bullshit it is. Nigger In the wood pile. Out there at his ranch in where? /CRAWFORD?! Coincidence? Or conspiracy! What did Mike know and when did he know it? were Magnum XLs involved? We need to get former Governor Jesse 'The Body' Ventura on this ASAP! Max Weber Is that the guy who wrote "LOST"? Ixnay on the Upidstay Talk about the invasion of privacy. YOWZA! Is that a peanut in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? When Panda Bears ATTACK! Fat Fingers huh? Oh, you must have the shakes then. The only problem I have with touch interface is screen gets dirty so needs constant cleaning. I fucking love my tablet. I never go anywhere without it. It's like keys, wallet, tablet. Ready to roll. I don't use it as a replacement for a good desktop or at least laptop computer. I mean, there are just some things that are better, faster, stronger with a "traditional" PC. But the biggest part of the time I'm just reading, maybe commenting, viewing, etc. Tablet fucking rocks. Bigger than a phone but more portable than a notebook with less accessory shit to tote. Battery life out the wazoo. SD Card for extra storage. What's not to like? Huh, interesting I can't stand using apps that just repackage the browser. I can deal with some sites that have a mobile version. And with the 10" tablet in landscape (using chrome btw) I just don't have any trouble. Auto correct is okay, I don't use iPad so I get the impression that it is worse on that platform. Mine doesn't usually try to change whole words. Just switch i to I, capitalize after period. So I dunno. Maybe some tablets are better than others. I know when I first began using mine the lack of a good place to get a grip on it was a big problem. And if I used it in bed I was forever dropping on my head until I made a little shelf for it. Now though, I think I must have developed particular muscle groups. Much like cell users begin to develop great dexterity in their thumbs. Now I can hold that thing just as long as I would hold a paperback and I don't even think about it. Well, to each his own. If we all liked the same things this would be one boring ass world. Well, more boring than it already is at any rate. The man can buy a tablet and still have sex On the otherhand, I don't know if you are or have been married and if so if you have ever had kids. But I tell you what. Kids are the biggest cock-blockers ever created. Give him some time, say eighteen years or so and he'll be tearing that shit up like the dude on the viagra commercial. Fuck Ramen Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's any good. So, $500 eh? That's a hell of a challenge. A month yeah totally doable but a year I don't know. But it would take more than just Ramen. First off I would be going straight survival. Uh I wonder if one can supplement that 500 bucks? Like begging, busking, etc. That would be good. I guess applying for SNAP would be right out. So, first thing is, learning from Mike, warm, DRY, shelter. Clothing I think would be the very least of my problems. The planet has more clothes and shoes than people know what to do with. Theft would become a serious lifestyle choice. I'm not talking burglary or mugging, just if shit is laying out somewhere all lonely and neglected then I would bring it into the warmth and safety of my bosom. Food and water. Well if I'm urban then water shouldn't be too tough, there are faucets on the outsides of numerous buildings and residential houses. Food though. Well, my plan would be to make a map and create a route that would take me in the vicinity of as many restaurant dumpsters as possible. Over the year I would learn which dumpsters afforded easy access. I would learn when the timetable for each restaurant so that I would know like to be at The Steakhouse on Monday and at the Griller on Tuesday, etc. I would endeavor to locate myself in a park or other semi-wild area that still was very close to an urban center. Preferably one that had access to a large body of water (pond or lake) or even a river or creek. The reason is for washing clothes. Catching small game. And bathing. Trying to wash up in a Truck Stop or fast food restroom is just too fucking difficult. Yes quite a challenge but I think it is doable. I don't know if 10mil would be worth going through that though. But just like Bocephus said, "A country boy can survive." Just checking my previous comment and the obvious jumped right out at me! Fuck all that, just commit a really serious misdemeanor or minor felony and you would be set! Talk your public defender into getting you a year in jail (or the mental ward if you prefer). No fines. Tell him NO FINES just straight up doing time. Spend a year in jail. You got three hots and a cot. A shower facility, television, daily exercise, social contact with new and interesting people, library, religious service and all the sex you can handle. God damn it would be like spending a year at a Sandals resort. That would be worth ten mill. maybe procrasti featured in Dilbert today *~~~+++~~~* MINDLESS LINK PROPOGATI'N *~~~+++~~~* My New Hobby *~~~+++~~~* MINDLESS LINK PROPOGATI'N *~~~+++~~~* WARNING: The following link will cost you seven minutes of your time. Worth the expense IMHO IN A WORLD where an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that's all but vanished from Japan nowadays. Latest update of GTA V corrupted my Save Games. Fuck that. It will be out on PC shortly, I'll wait till then before starting that over. I'm eating tuna fish salad and crack. I mean crackers . . . Beautiful day yesterday, absolutely gorgeous and then wake up and it looks like wet all day. WHO NEEDS GOVERNMENT Support TED CRUZ for the Republican Presidential Nominee If elected he'll shut down the whole thing! TED CRUZ The Canadian Manchurian Candidate That wasnt Disney That was made with LOVE by fans. Could you do as well? That shit was AWESOME! Like totally 80's style anime we don't see anymore. I believe this is in a alternate timeline You know like Alternate History Sci-fi. Like what if Hitler won the war? Or what if Rome never fell and conquered the world? In this the Empire are the GOOD guys and the rebels are terrorist scum. And no I don't think that was Luke and R2. There are probably a bazillion R2's in the Empire. They're like the iPad of their time. But then again maybe it was Luke. An evil terrorist master mind responsible for the deaths of thousands in pursuit of his bloodthirsty jihad. WOW Just noticed the poll on the FP is still about Hurricane Sandy! That's god damn ancient fucking history in Internet time. rusty really needs to turn over administration to the active users that are still here. You know I gotta rattle them jimmies It's K5 afterall and we could certainly use An Oversupply of Wisdom. ;-) Jazz Hands Chino! Metalocalypse Why don't you make like a bass guitar and be inaudible? Coffee with a touch of gamma hydroxybutyric acid. trane really missed his true calling as a United States Senator. "Senator trane! Can you please explain your proposed legislation?" "Why of course! My bill will seek to repeal the laws of Thermodynamics as these are clearly false and cause undue strain on our economy! All Federal Engineering projects and anyone receiving grants from the National Science Foundation will be required to discontinue any use of the laws of Thermodynamics or face heavy fines and possible criminal charges. My second act will be to substitute crack rocks for dollars as the National currency and then offer a Basic Crack Income for all citizens!" I'll get right on that you bet god damn dumbass You should include a link to a tip jar in your sig. So at least while you are begging you might have a way for people to pitch into your hat. Notice that your fellow three stooges never beg. Though they often rant they never whine about just wanting a hand-out. You on the other hand are just an extremely lazy bum. You wouldn't even get a bitcoin acct so procrasti could shoot you a bit of digital currency at no cost or effort from you. You just want your every want and need delivered on a silver platter to you and even then I assume you would complain about the quality or provenance of that which was provided. I got something you can touch. LOL @ calling me a parasite when you are the one begging to suck ever harder at the government teat. You should take a look at the hoops the Jews will jump through to be able to do what they want but still be "legal" as far as Jewish Law is concerned. Like they string up wire or something so they can shop on the Sabbath. I know it's weird. Though it is claimed that the Dutch invented the term loophole, I suspect it was Jews that gave it the current definition. You know what would make me smiley? If you suddenly became a productive member of society instead of just being a lazy bum. Hi! ROR! Idiot Neither logical thinking nor reading comprehension is your strong suit are they? Lazy bum is lazy and stupid. all your I suspects are answered I'm not criticizing mind, good diary. Just MS has been very up front as to why they are doing this. Also it is only going to be free as in beer for a limited time. Much like on win8 release you could update for only $40. For a limited time. Things to watch for include that the winx hardware requirements specify secure boot must be available but they do not require oems to provide a way for the enduser to shut it off. Why Hello Linux! Also, winx is supposed to solve the problem of going to reinstall and then having to download 100+ updates. I'm not sure how this is going to work exactly but they are going to restrict oems from adding bloatware to keep the image lean. The windows store will be a central part of your user experience. Don't discourage him Perhaps he will decide to abscond to Syria and teach the ISIS folks of the joys of Basic Income, the failure of Thermodynamics and the rewards of usufructing. Then he can train their elite hacking squad how to use ruby to write unintelligible agents to reinforce their own beliefs. Why before long the ISIS members will be frolicking naked along the banks of the Euphrates hugging one another in brotherly fraternity. You would like to wouldn't you? You dream of all those sweaty muscular dudes loving you long time like the little whiney bitch you are. And therefore you are jealous? I can almost hear you whining, "Government owes me a basic raping!" was just reading The new macs do not support win7 in bootcamp. while momma's at the store Go down there and get it and bring it back down here and then take it back up there. No ambiguity whatsoever. That's that natural language. can your agents parse that Can you? How many times do you perform the task in the body? Once or until momma returns? How does one continue in a single direction and yet return to the origin? And how did the destination change orientation? If you have to review and make changes during runtime how will it ever scale? Wouldn't it be faster Just to do it all yourself? it is a variable so it could be anything What I wrote is a chunk of code in natlang to show you that natlang isn't as great as yu think it is. And it gets less usefull the more complex the program. That cuz I'm lonesome, ornery and mean. If natural language is so unusable I didnt say that. how come you aren't writing posts in code? Because I am communicating with a human being. If I was communicating with a computer then I would use code. Just like it would be silly to try to speak English to someone who is unfamiliar with it. I mean you are free to try. But constantly yelling, "NO, El CHANGE-O the PASSWORD-O from el A to el B!" Just gives me a headache. They weren't on patrol They were off duty and coming from a strip club. I liked how the Chief says we were all young once and did stupid things. Nice that he sees criminal behaviour as just a lark. Especially when people are dead. Lots of drinking going on in Law Enforcement. Earlier this month three high level secret service agents got drunk and drove their car through security tape and onto the White House property crashing into a security barrier and nearly running over what was suspected to be a bomb. The head of the secret service said that it was common for agents to use alcohol to deal with the stress of the job so LAY THE FUCK OFF US CONGRESS BECAUSE WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! I guess the motto should now be; 'To (be) serve(d) (alcholol) and protect (our own ass) The burglar slipped into the dark house He made his way silently through the rooms picking up everything of value he could see and stuffing it into his burglar bag. As he made his way down the hall a voice rang out, "Jesus is watching you." He froze. Looked around ready to spring into either fight or flight mode but he saw nothing. He again started down the hallway. Once again a voice said, "Jesus is watching you." Again he froze but again except for the voice he could sense no movement. He chanced bringing up a flashlight and shone it around. The light revealed a large ornate birdcage inside of which was a large parrot. The parrot said, "Jesus is watching you." "oh fuck me", said the burglar in relief. "A fucking bird. So what is your name?" "Buddha", replied the parrot. "HA! What fucking idiot names their bird Buddha?" "The same idiot that names his Rottweiler Jesus" I feel ass raped . . . At least it was by two girls and not two big burly niggers. Just j/k, I don't even know that it is the loss of shit that fucks up your head as much as knowing someone has violated your space. So, what kind of gun you fixin' to buy? Don't go for some big macho piece, it ain't your dick. Get a nice small caliber auto. Then take a class, and go to the fucking range periodically. You may not want to be a fanatic about it but you need to be skilled. A trip...on a Greyhound Bus...a traumatic ordeal of extreme horror. That is a fair description right there. I have only ever traveled by bus three times. Each trip was unique in its particular brand and style of horror but horror was ON TAP and free flowing. I still have nightmares. Yeah but that was the only thing in the write up that seemed relevant to K5. I mean seriously, a Don Quixote type, "eccentric, idealistic, and creative, sometimes to the point of delusion" who "is of the mindset that he does not belong in the world and that his numerous failings are the work of some higher power." Nobody around here fits that description! Talk about Basic Income and Bitcoin That should get a few chuckles. Now what the fuck are Jews going to know from Thermodynamics? I get where you are coming from. However, the idea of giving away money is going to be assumed to be a HUGE joke in and of itself. As for bitcoin, I don't know exactly but there has to be something funny in it. But you start talking Thermodynamics and them Jews are going to be like WTF? Yahweh creates and destroys matter all the time. "In the beginning, . . ." and all. Uh, you say blessed . . . That didn't involve him cutting on your pecker or anything like that did it? I know how them rabbis are. They like their foreskin as much as the priests like their young buttholes. I think it has to do with them not be able to eat pork. A foreskin DOES look a bit like bacon after all. Did someone fart? I swear I heard a noise and there is a stink in the air. No need to change, the system works perfectly. It is there to remove spam and comments with no content. Don't like it?

I'm making a note here: Huge success! Not really no. Most people are confused expecting a re-skin of Sid Meier Pirates! Unfortunately this is a case like some of those Stephen King movies. The name may be on the box but he didn't have much to do with it. the game du jour is City Skylines. It has gone beyond Sim City and they don't give a fuck about pirates. Right now this game is getting the same kind of buzz that Minecraft got in the day. It is just blowing up. A little more about why City Skylines is not concerned about piracy. They intend to have a rolling update system through Steam. Now they understand that pirates will just repack the updates and put them up on the torrent sites. So they intend to wear them out. Push so much content that the pirates get tired of keeping up. We'll see how that works out but they are already posting lower than normal piracy levels already. Aw man, classsssic! Ed Norton is awesome, and it is oh so sweet Young Turk vs Old Skool. I endorse this endorsement. How can I be sure you're okay? I suppose I could fuck you. That would work. They have already started Like my wife keeps saying, "How the fuck did they bring Paul Walker back from the dead?" If you watch that YA film about Mocking Jays or whatever then you know that Philip Seymour Hoffman was dead before they finished filming but he is in the movie. The guy that played Gandalf in The Hobbit, Ian McKellan, almost quit the movie industry because he is used to actually acting with other humans. But in this one he spent hours alone in front of a green screen. He said it was souless. In the same film look at what they have done with the charaqcter Golum. Yeah as soon as Hollywood can get rid of actors and just have everything done in the computer they will. Same thing will happen to programmers. Once they figure out how to allow computers to write their own software then those guys are headed out the door. You can tell just how important they think it is when you find out the state prison system is teaching convicts to code. That means they figure programming takes about as much skill as janitorial services, fast food sales, and dishwashing. That's where these guys end up right? Unfortunately, looking at some of what passes for software development around here I can kind of see why. I'm glad I transitioned from software into management. I would rather be called an Ignorant Mother Fucker than actually be so ignorant I didn't know a switch from a conditional. Programming is going to the lowest bidder exactly! And management as well as non mgmt which is not involved in IT or Research views programmers and everyone else associated as a bunch of low-level laborers. They figure that since they run windows at home and maybe wrote a BASIC program in school that programming just ain't that hard. But writing a program that has good quality and security checks, that still takes a human being with a lot of skills. As far as they are concerned it takes no more skill than an auto mechanic and auto mechanics are not well known for being too intelligent. That is all you guys are. Rather than grease monkeys you're code monkeys and barely worth bothering with. Sure you get the attaboy when you get something built, shipped, or fixed but they always have the sneaky suspicion you just ripped them off somehow. Fur, my favorite burger I know every body has heard this . . . oh fluffy bunny was down at the water hole nibbling some wild flowers and enjoying the morning when he felt the urge. So he found him self a nice comfortable spot and began to shit. Almost as soon as he started however up comes a big black Kodiak mother fucking bear who decided to move his bowels also. "G-G-G-Good morning Mr Bear!" the bunny said nervously. "Good morning Mr Bunny. It's a fine day." rumbled the bear. After a bit the bear said, "You have such beautiful white fur there Mr Bunny." "O-O-Oh Th-Th-Thank you Mr Bear!" "I'd like to ask you, with such beautiful fur do you ever have a problem with shit sticking to it?" "Oh NO Mr Bear! I am quite fastidious and I never have that problem." "Excellent!" And at that the Big Ass Kodiak Mother Fucking Bear grabs the little fluffy bunny and wipes his ass really good with him and tosses poor Mr Bunny over his shoulder. I'm pissed Unnecessary Diary it makes little sense to celebrate a foreign national day. DUDE! Leprechauns dude! You got leprechauns in that shitstain you laughingly call a country? I didn't fucking think so. Now on your knees and kiss my blarney stone. Let me tell ya, you'll find a pot o gold at the end of THIS here rainbow. So like the Skittle ad says, 'Taste the rainbow!' Bend over so I can stick my sheleighleigh into your sweet dew kissed four leaf clover. They're always after me lucky charms, they're magically delicious. WIPO: Internet-Serious Business Just wondering aloud, is China at war with anyone? I mean they always suck at human rights but at the moment even 'Merica can't un-ironically claim the moral high ground on this issue. Not just the glaring obviousness of state sanctioned torture and Guantanamo but the current conservative hissy-fit over immigration and the racial violence that seems to be increasing on both sides. We seem to be in conflict with damn near everyone these days. I keep expecting to hear that we invaded Canada in order to liberate the Canadians and their oil from evil Northern Extremists. Russia is of course thick into their own military adventures. So that leaves China. I don't think they are actively fucking with anybody. Of course they suck because they want to censor everything and imprison dissidents and that fucking pollution and safety bullshit. Even still, China has to be right now probably the most Civilized of the big Superpowers. If they ever get their shit together then the rest of the World better look out. I think he is trying to say he is not of woman born. He therefore is the AntiChrist, he who lies with the Whore of Babylon and hangs out with THe Beast. Fuck, everybody knows he was in Ohio all this time. He's stumping for the GOP nomination for the 2016 Presidency. You know those American Tea (Taliban) Party people just love him and his hard-right politics. Hey, if a Black Kenyan with a fake Hawaiian BC can be President then a Well Loved Gay Bashing Right Wing Dictator from Moscow with a fake BC from Jersey can be one too! I started to post a Diary about this last night but changed my mind. I wasn't feeling good. So anyway, thank you for bringing it to k5's attention. This is an important and an historical announcement. You have linked a different article than the one I read. Mine had no mention of the "pee pipe". That is an expression of which I must make note. "For a young man of 18 or 19 years, the loss of his penis can be deeply traumatic." - I'm sorry Doctor, but for ANY man regardless of age the loss of the penis can be very traumatic. In the article I read it was emphasised that the majority of South African men lost their penis due to problems with circumcision. I am not a doctor, priest nor rabbi but I have to wonder how much of that foreskin are you guys lopping off? You know what they say, 'a little dab will do ya'. It ain't like you're carving the Christmas Turkey! Ironic Comment courtesy 'Repeatible' Hairstyle. its called 'code' for a reason The example you gave has a lot of implied knowledge behind it. You only think it's "easy" because the computer in your head has been programmed, updated, annd patched for tens of thousands of years. It has further been optimized for your special use case in the time since it was checked out to you. I do believe that we could create a high level language that would do just what you say. However, in my experience the farther one moves away from the language of the machine the less flexible the new launguage becomes. That is to say that it would work well for some very limited domains but outside of those it becomes difficult if not nearly impossible to acomplish anything non trivial. That's why lower level languages are still in use. They allow us the ability to abstract a problem while at the same time giving us flexibility to apply them to a number of different areas. Now perhaps, centuries from now in some startrekian future our libraries, and our hardware will have advanced to the point where we can just say computer, upvote all my comments on k5 and it will work just fine. It is evident from your comment though that you don't want to even do anything other than wait for someone else to implement what you want and then give it to you for free. I like how you say I bet I could . . . But then before you even start, in the very next breath even, you say Fuck it, I give up. Don't even fool yourself into thinking you are anything like Tesla. I already explained that in my previous comment You have a computer in your head with specialized Input and Output that has been "programmed" over tens of thousands of years using a simple rule that, 'if it works and can reproduce then it ships otherwise it goes in the bin'. This General Purpose Processor has been further tweaked for your special use case since the day you were born. Our own man-designed computers and programs have only been in existence for a relative eye blink. Perhaps after tens of thousands of years our machines will also be able to "look at any site and immediately see the text". This reminds me of a time when this young lady had spent many hours working on some document in the early days. She had neglected to save her work because people just weren't that familiar with these devices then. Anyway, when she attempted to print the document the machine crashed for some reason. I had to explain to her what had happened. She of course wanted to recover her document but I told her it was not possible. Since she hadn't saved it it was gone. But, she protested, I can SEE IT THERE ON THE SCREEN! Which was true. The screen had frozen when the computer crashed and a portion of her document was indeed visible on the screen. She became quite agitated that even though she could SEE her document it could not be recovered. I would expect that you would not be as naive. You do not see text. You see phosphors on a screen that is a representation generated by the code from the underlying html by a complex process. Your brain interprets those phosphors as text because your brain is your brain. Oh and Fuck you too, you dumbass lazy shiftless good-for-nothing bum. Have a nice day. But but (they say) IT's Just like BITCOIN so it's like cool and all but it's different like it will be in dollars and we (or our designated appointee like Goldman Sachs or maybe Bank of America) will control it so it will be SAFE without all those you know, unwashed neck beard types. What is that? Can it be trusted? What's that about privacy? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA? Actually, I don't have much of an opinion yet. I read the article or something similar earlier today and I was just left with the feeling . . . WHY? What purpose is it for? I mean, I don't think I'm ready for Twitter.Gov or Congressbook or even redstateit. as far as i'm concerned the government are welcome to create their own social network since that is the IN thing but I doubt it will be used even to the level of G+. So this blockchain money thing well fine, do it but who the fuck will your customers be? Maybe other banks perhaps in some financial circlejerk but most people I think are going to be, why bother? Those who want to continue dealing in paper cash will continue. They will not have any desire for the kinds of things blockchaining will provide. In fact they might be quite opposed. Those that do want to benefit from it will just use what we already have. That's what I think anyways. The only way I see this as a big win is if mining CryptoBucks were to take off. "Eddy?!" "Yeah Ma?" "What are you doing down there in the basement with all those computers?" "I'm printing money Ma! Friggin thousands and thousands of dollars!" "Well that's nice dear! Don't forget, I'm making your favorite meatloaf tonight so don't stay down there too late!" "Awesome Ma! Thanks, don't worry, I'll be up in a minute!" On a summer day In the month of May a K5 bum was hiking down a shady lane through the sugar cane, he was looking for a place to soothe his brain. As he strolled along he sang a song of a land filled with milk and honey. Where a troll can stay for many a day but won't need any money. Oh the buzzin' of bees in the cannabis trees to the high speed 'net to the open wifi sets and Basic Income rains out across the plains under that Big Crack Rock Mountain In the Big Crack Rock Mountain, the cops just don't get paid! The IMF's are banned for life while animal rights are saved! The buildings are all free from rent and are furnished with new gear each day! I want to go where there ain't no snow, where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow, In that Big Crack Rock Mountain. There's boulders of crack we can smoke back to back and the handouts grow on bushes! In the sun warmed sand we can hug man to man and the bars all have free lunches. You can say what you like cause there's no censorship no matter the shit you say! Mods all have to be nice to you even though your replies are gay. You'll find me there in my birthday bare smoking some rock and playing with my cock while I take a MOOC and call the teachers KOOKS at the Big Crack Rock Mountain. Oh, a farmer and his son they were on the run to the pot field they were bounding. Said the K5 bum to the son, "Why don't you come? With me to that CRACK ROCK Mountain?" So the very next day they hiked away, across the desert thumping. And later when the night was dim the son began a jumping. For he found the troll inside of him. In the boys ass was he a-humping! In the Big ol Crack Rock Mountain, Anything you ever need Is printed out in three dimensions on a slick techno machine. There ain't no Boss or CEO, No secretaries, nor Office pricks, I'm bound to stay where you sleep all day, Where they hung the jerk that invented work In the ... Big ol Crack Rock Mountain! this little ditty is meant To show you that you are no way unique. Your kind has been with us forever and will probably always be with us in some form or another. You are the lazy bum. You feel that you are oppressed every where you go. You constantly dream of the Big Rock Candy Mountain and your vision of it is little different from the bum of a century ago. Note that you are not a hobo. A hobo is someone that chooses that life and often works. They just don't fit into normal society. Mike is kinda like a hobo. Hoboes are cool. You are just a bum. Just a worthless, shiftless lazy bum always looking for a handout. Private Album needs Password. You are welcome to view my channel any time you wish. No BTC required. Shaking my head Wow, I have been a redditor for six years. OMG. Kill Me Now! Anyways, I posted one fucking cartoon. One that I didn't even draw. (Yes I did give credit to the author) I try to do that. I don't believe in the Copyfuck laws as they exist but I do feel that credit is always due if at all possible. Even when I go far beyond fair use and post reams of shit or even paraphrase somethings. I always try to credit the OP. But anyways, I posted this comic and my KARMA just BlEW THE FUCK UP! I know, KARMA and $1.19+tax will get you coffee at McDonalds. Still, If I had as much Bitcoin as I do in Karma, I tell you what. I would buy each and every one of you sorry lot a drink. So why did I post this? Cuz I'm fucking bored and I'm fucking sober. Oh yeah, my jaw hurts like a mother-fucker and I ain't got nuthin but Tylenol. Fucking Tylenol. God damn Puritans. FUCK I should AT LEAST be able to wobble down to the pharmacy and pick me up a bottle of Codeine. And a batch of Dr Turnbull's patented Snake Oil. Fucking DEA and fucking LEA. I aint asking for a damn Basic Income here people! Did you hear what the Secret Cervix has been up to lately? Fucking Ms Rachel Maddow got so mad she actually threw her pencil and broke it. Now that is some shit. Here, fucking take a look at this Keystone Kop behaviour! Update They were SO drunk they nearly ran over what could possibly have been a bomb. And this is the 2nd in Command of the Presidents security detail! Are there just not many people here or what? I just don't think my comments and stories are getting the love they richly deserve. I mean it ain't like I'm one of the K5 three stooges. I got to hand it to ol' Hacker Cracker. That sumbitch must read everything I write. If it weren't for him I swanny I would think I was just talking to myself. I'm hungry. I think I want some tacos. Yeah. tacos. But maybe some nachos. Shit whats the difference? I think I'll just dump the whole mess in a bowl with some pinto beans and hot peckers and be done with it. Not so much to warsh that away I reckon. Lets act like an old cow pattie and hit the trail! I sincerely thank you for your support! Fucking EPIC The Epic Tale of Jumbo Jr. Courtesy of /r/youdontsurf borderlands 2 Sorry I let my Live gold lapse late in 2014. Don't know if I'll renew since the apps ( netflix, pandora, youtube ) all work with silver now. The boy doesn't play since the birth of my grand daughter. I was only sticking around for free games. That is weird about the comic though. Thank you for the heads up. lol I am but the boy is a filthy peasant That and gta 5. But don't worry, I wash my hands after and sacrifice to GabeN. hmmm still there http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/892/892635.png And http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/2yhzjz/tools_of_the_trade Depends, time is relative If 2009 were the last time you got laid (for example only, not trying to imply anything) then yes, that would feel like a god damn long time ago. But on the other hand, shit, things that happened to me in 2004 often seem like it could've been just the other day. I think, didn't Mike start working on Warp Life in 09? How long have I been visiting this place? Holy fucking hell! Do I even have a life or is that just something I dreamed? I was part of the great Digg exodus Like many here I had "sampled" the FP of reddit and found it ugly and somewhat like YouTube comments without the video. Digg on the other hand was pretty, easy to navigate, and featured a number of tools that made it a nice social site. But damn them all they blew it all to hell. So I got a nice 3rd party frontend to make reddit pretty and which had tools to make it easier to manage. I took the time to go beyond the FP and find subs that were relevant to my interests. The strange thing is that what Gabe from PA said is true. I see stuff or read an article on reddit and a day or two later its all over the internet. So fuck, just cut out the middle man. Aw hell Didn't know that. But that is a fur piece. Thankfully, the jaw seems fine now. But I'm still bored and unfortunately, still sober. Here's the REAL DEAl from an old man First off we are not FIGHTING ISIS. This is not the way you fight. People in the "beltway" are too concerned about their jobs, their poll numbers, etc etc. They want this to be a nice quiet kind of fight. The kind the Teachers don't hear about. That won't stand. If we are going to fight ISIS then EVERYBODY needs to get on board. It needs to be on the news, on every fucking commercial break, on the radio, on the net, on posters. There should not be a single fucking place in America that you can go and escape the fact that we are at war with this group of people. We need to be demonizing these tards worse than a white police officer in Ferguson. And this needs to continue until we either lose or win. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines need to know that the American people are behind them not just shopping at the mall. Second is collateral damage. we need to educate people that when fighting occurs that some people are going to get hurt. People we would not like to be hurt but know that they gave their lives for the greater good, the elimination of ISIS. Women, children, the elderly. We have to end this myth that a bomb is some kind of precision instrument that only kills bad guys. Finally we go in BALLS TO THE WALL. Put the Sixth fleet off the nearest shore and fly sorties every day. Bring in tanks, apc's, nukes, everything we have, bring it to bear on Syria and Northern Iraq. Have you seen the pictures from over there? It's a fucking shithole. A wasteland. It's not like the heart of god damn Dallas or Sydney Australia. So fucking go for fucking broke. Show the world what we mean when we say, "THIS MEANS WAR". Make it so fucking horrible, so fucking distasteful that ANYBODY, even fucking ISRAEL will think fucking twice and then think again before embarking on this kind of adventure. This wont be over until the leadership of and senior members of ISIS are screaming as their bodies melt in the fiery purification of US Napalm rather than their victims burned in cages. If we don't want to do that. If we don't want to commit every resource available to defeating and eliminating the scourge of ISIS and Radical Fundamentalism wherever we find it. Then we just simply shouldn't bother at all. Let them take over, let them have the oil, the gas, whatever it is they seek to gain. Because then they will be forced to grow up. When they get to where they have to start worrying about tax collection, zoning rights, profit and loss statements, all the things that come with running a country today then we can negotiate with them in a sensible and rational way. Only then can we keep the bloodshed where it belongs. On the boardroom floor. I hope you come back as a pig. No, actually I am being facetious. I would not wish that treatment on my very worst enemies. Unlike you, I do like to eat meat. I grew up in the country and know full well where the pork chops and steaks on my table come from but my family would NEVER treat their livestock in such a fashion. I am convinced that the rise in disease and suffering in the Western Word is, in part, due to the way these animals are being kept and processed. I do not think it is necessary for either efficiency or any other reason except to provide stockholders with a higher ROI. Also, if you have read this far, something which may be relevant to your interests. Warning, shocking video. Perdue chicken factory farmer reaches breaking point, invites film crew to farm. So you're saying that more people would kill themselves if it were legal? As in, the only thing holding them back is the threat of prosecution? Shit dude. Anybody can get a can of gas and a lighter. I don't even think you have to show ID. Dying is fucking easy, staying alive is a real struggle. Well isn't there a state that lets you do that? Yeah, Oregon. Ain't you near there? Death with Dignity Act. It would get you a medical MJ card. That sounds too painful Only for a moment. Think about it. That pig has to spend his entire life in those bars unable to turn around. You would only be in pain for a very short while. Just until your nerve endings overloaded and melted. Then you would be fine. Find a Cow Cows Are Deadlier Than You Ever Knew Every year, cows kill more people than sharks. In the United States, the CDC estimates that about twenty-two people are killed by cows each year, and of those cow attacks, seventy-five percent were known to be deliberate. Even more alarming is that you can be killed by multiple cows in group attacks. Group attacks can be surprisingly well-coordinated. Cows are blood thirsty killers. Just goes to show Trane doesn't want to kill himself. He sincerely wants the Government to provide him with a Basic Death. Even in this he is unwilling to raise a hand except to request a handout. I don't believe that I have ever in my life seen anyone who felt as entitled as trane. Not only does he feel the World owes him a living but it owes him a dying also. What on EARTH are you referring to sye? What exactly does the man behind the avatar of trane possess? What use would it be to the BAD guys and to what specific BAD guys do you refer? I'm only imagining here but I tend to think that whatever trane leaves behind is going to be a headache for whomever is stuck with the task of hauling it down to the dumpster. Free Market principles Careful there. You have a nice little model there that does what it says. But if you keep trying to apply it to EVERYTHING well, you'll end up like trane trying to explain away bullshit that never would have been brought up if the model had not been applied in an area for which it was not suited. Edison was a dick. Plain and simple. He did what many successful people do. He hired smart people and drove them hard and when they produced he took the credit. Neither Free Market Principles nor Thermodynamic Laws have much to do with it. Certainly they can be applied. But they really don't tell us anything useful. What, you're not dead yet? You think maybe you could get it together enough to complete this task over the weekend? Or will we be suffering your ignorance a while longer? So you have a problem with Thermodynamics? Well, isn't that special? I can honestly say that Thermodynamics doesn't really give a fuck. Did you even say anything? Or did you just lay there and passive aggressively beam HATE WAVES from your mind? Maybe dentists should practice in a VR where they could play their bait-and-switch games and you could lay there in your own VR eating imaginary corn on the cob with your imaginary teeth? Win Fucking Win! So you're saying HATE WAVES then . . . Don't they have things like cliffs and shit? I want to fly like an Eagle . . . Quicksand. I've been through the desert on a horse with no name . . . Go find a sidewinder and stick your thumb up it's bum. If you inject your venom It'll be your last attack . . . Whats wrong with a nice tall tree? But now I laugh and pull so hard and see you swinging on the gallows pole. Swinging on the gallows pole. . . Jump in a lake with a big rock tied to your ankle. Take a dip in a Mtn Stream and chill out above the tree line naked for awhile. My eyes are blind but I can see the snowflakes glisten on the tree. The sun no longer sets me free. I feel there's no place freezing me! . . . If nothing else sell everything you have and trade it for a needle and a HUGE Ass 8-BALL. Go somewhere peaceful and slam the fuck out of that sumbitch. Shit make a cocktail of all your favorites and JUiCE the fuck up. Hello darkness my old friend . . . I would like to perform dentistry I don't know anything about it but in your world that wouldn't be a problem would it? I could maybe audit a MOOC and watch a few YouTube vids and I would be good to go! I would do it because it's a good thing. There would be no economic utility in it. Just something I think might be fun to do some afternoon. I'm sure you would be the first in line at my clinic! And don't worry, I won't 'bait and switch' you. No, you would receive my FULL attention. Open Wide! And say, 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!' There are now over 1000 games that run on Linux natively. All hail GabeN and Steam! And they are moving forward. No, this is not the year of Linux on the Desktop. There is little need for it. Microsoft keeps shooting themselves in the foot while Apple tries to separate their users from thier cash as quickly as humanely possible. In the meantime, Linux keeps steadily moving forward, improving, streamlining, doing things Better, Faster, Harder and Stronger. No longer do we try to entice Windows users over to "our" side. Who needs to? Three quarters of the world right now are running some form of OS atop the humble Linux Kernel. We have won and the two "desktop" systems are fervently trying to play catch up. Enjoy your crappy games and buggy apps on your failed OS's. There is no problem with Linux I just said, "... this is not the year of Linux on the Desktop." There never will be. We have gone past that. 1.1 Billion people use Linux. 1.5 Billion use Windows. WORLDWIDE (the numbers never add up right because many use both or all three). There is no question that Linux is becoming the most popular computer system of all time. We don't need your stinking desktop. We will soon conquer THE WORLD! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And I am not talking about StemaMachines either. I am saying that over 1000 games run natively on Linux RIGHT NOW. You don't need to wait or anything. You can play TODAY! This minute! No Beta, No DirectX, No Bullshit! convert 9000 BAH! Fuck porting old buggy franchises and no brainer sequels. Game companies can make Original Content. They can get out from under EA's thumb. (Bet the guys from Maxis wished they had done that last week instead of standing in the Unemployment line today). Out from under Sony, Ubisoft and Microsoft. With the Unity and Unreal Engines (including source) released gratis there is no telling what we may see in the future. Do you think a game of 8-bit blocks cobbled together by a guy named Mojang would have even gotten passed the doors at EA? Fuck no. The days of $60 AAA "you've played it before but this time we have an all new soundtrack, 32 new animations, better graphics and hats!" are just about over. Forget what you know, the future is TODAY and it is going to knock your pink little socks off. If they treated him fairly he would have made more than just a million. Oh, and he was 26 not nineteen RE a memo to the creatives at Atari breaking down games as a percentage of sales in order to let devs know which games were most popular. "This memo backfired however, as it demonstrated the value of the game designer individually. Video game design in those days was a one-man process with one person doing the creative design, the storyboards, the graphics, the music, the sound effects, every line of programming, and final play testing. So when I saw a memo that the games for which I was 100 percent responsible had generated over $20 million in revenues, I was one of the people wondering why I was working in complete anonymity for a $20,000 salary." So maybe he didn't get that $1mil after all. Hey he was paid. He doesn't deserve royalties according to the Atari Mgmt. Oh, My Bad, Frye received $0.10 in royalties per cartridge. WOW! A WHOLE DIME! Marketing pressed Frye to produce the game on a very strict timetable. He had from May to September 1981. (I certainly don't think YOU could accomplish that Mike) Further, though he requested the new 8K Rom they told him it MUST be done in the old 4K Rom. Yes, Pac-Man proved to be a stunning financial coup for Atari but maybe not so much for Tod. Yes, you are correct He did eventually receive a million dollars total in royalties off of 12 million cartridges sold. The company spent $4.50 to $6 to manufacture each cartridge and $1 to $2 for advertising, and sold it for $18.95. One would have been better off had they been Roberta Williams. I have heard some very strange tales of programming parties going long into the night up in Oakhurst. If you should ever get the opportunity you should try your hand at Phantasmagoria(1995) New Game soon to be released Will be delivered as a 100 GB download. Game dev says patches for the game will avg anywhere from 6 to 9 GB each with compression. This is a good article and relevant to the Diary I'm Al Lowe and I created a series of games called Leisure Suit Larry for Sierra back in the '80s and '90s along with another 20 games and titles back in that period. I was with Sierra from 1982 until 1998 when it -- well, it was the poor victim of a hostile takeover by criminals. The company was going great and literally had a 28 percent market share. In other words, 28 cents out of every dollar spent on entertainment software for home computers in the US went to Sierra. They had a tremendous product line in all aspects of entertainment home software, all kinds. That was the company that Ken and Roberta [Williams] literally started on their kitchen table and built to a billion-dollar market capitalization company. One of Ken's board members on a Monday morning called and said, "I'm gonna stage a hostile takeover of your company and I'm gonna offer 50 percent more than the going price of the stock. If you fight me, every stockholder in the country will file a lawsuit against you for not accepting this wonderful offer from me." It was like, "Okay, I guess you're in charge now." Turned out that one thing led to another, the company went away, Ken and Roberta went away, the company changed hands, and it turned out that the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. investigated and found out that the entire business was a kind of a house of cards. They didn't have the money that they said they had, they didn't have the means to do this stuff, and they ended up fining them the largest fine in the history of the United States government. Over a billion dollars, as I recall. ... But when gradually their companies hired professional management -- professional managers love spreadsheets and they loved evidence, because they didn't have gut feelings that said, "Yeah, that's a great idea! Yeah, that'll sell! People will love that! Look at that!" Instead, they would say, "Well, what are the numbers here? How do we compare this? What are your comparables?" That question, man, I think has been just a death knell for the industry because as soon as you start forcing games to have successful comparables, you're guaranteeing that you're not going to ever see anything fresh again. How a (Video Game) Frame is Rendered Step by step. What it takes to render a single frame from a video game. If we had this technology in the 50's the world would be a distinctly different place. You can keep your carpet-bagging, yellow-bellied Yankee Waffle! You'll take my Flapjack when you pry it from my cold dead fingers! Now this is what I call Waffle Bukkakae Porn. For the Germans. She insisted on throwing away . . . . . . many things that I greatly valued." Yeah, chicks are like that. Usually the first things to go are your honor, pride and self-esteem. BBC is defaming CNN...wonder what brought that on Nancy Grace Nothing attracts chicks faster Than a huge bruise on your Johnson. Helps if you have something to bruise Just saying. Try punching yourself repeatedly in the groin. That is an historically effective way of extending the size of your member. I recommend at least six one hour sessions a day for two weeks for maximum effect. That's why a large tattoo on one's phallus indicates to a woman that you are a man of substance. A man used to both expecting and getting the finer things that life has to offer. A Cock-tat has they are called, lends a man a sense of culture, experience, breeding and wealth. She knows right away with that dickilstration, that penile objet d'art that you are a man who stands head and shoulders above the pack. A man who, though he may be many things, is NEVER boring. Do you have ink on your pole? Don't you think it's about time? THAT ANIMAL IS THE PRODUCT OF INCEST GOD HIMSELF HAS CURSED THAT COW AND HE SHOULD BE SLAUGHTERED AND LAID UPON THE FIERY COALS THEREUPON COVERED WITH THE HOLY SAUCE OF FORGIVING SPICE AND WHEN HE HAS HAD HIS FULL MEASURE OF THE COALS AND HIS FLESH HAS BEEN RENDERED TENDER AND PINK HE SHOULD BE GIVEN OVER TO THE CONGREGATION SURROUNDED BY SALAD OF POTATO THAT TEACHES US HUMILITY AND THE SEED OF THE PINTO WHICH GRANTS FORGIVENESS AND SANCTIFICATION AND GARNISHED WITH A HALO OF ONION TO REMIND US OF THE HALO WHICH ENCIRCLED OUR SAVIOR'S HEAD AND A SLICE OF BAPTISMAL PICKLE AFTER WHICH THIS CREATURE CAN ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM HEADS HELD HIGH ITS SINS AND THE SINS OF ITS FATHER WASHED AWAY IN THE PUDDING.! Odell Branch Sr. Well now, you can't PROVE those bullets were fired by white police officers now can you? While your information is relevant You completely missed the point. But cigarettes don't post to YouTube and Twitter You're late to the discussion We've already had this happen with regards to Siri and her cavalier attitude to rape as well as her initial reaction to other sensitive womens issues, including abortion. It turned out that Apple itself was held responsible. In the same way I would expect that the company that makes the AI would be held responsible. Before you can eat You have to set the table. Note also that she says, "...will admit creditworthy members -- such as big banks and asset managers...", "she won't be needing regulatory approval because it's not "an exchange, a custodian, or a money transmitter." So she is like, hey, it's like the fucking GOLD RUSH + Land Rush and we can do anything we want and mommy wants a LOT! She means that it is God's Will that you provide affordable hosting to those in need. You are the Lord's IT sheperd and a fisher of bits. For your service on Earth you will be rewarded in Heaven with copious amounts of beer and pizza. I ain't talking the chain stuff either I'm talking the kind where the cheese just makes you wanna scream HALLELUJAH! They say socialism is failed But it works great for the Chiners. And you know which five countries are the most productive? Well one of them sure ain't America. Fact is the most productive are damn near eat up with Socialism! Fuck the Free Market and Fuck the Protestant Work Ethic. I work in order to live, not live to work. If republicans are talking, chances are they're lying regardless of what they say. And all hail the Right Wing American Tea (for Taliban) Party! We won't stop until there is a white anti-abortion male gay-hating christian enthroned in the white house! A man of God who will lead this country in prayer and submission to Jesus and damn the dirty non believing infidels to an eternity of suffering in the hell of nuclear fire! Praise his name! We will replace the Declaration of Independence with the Lord's Prayer. We will replace the Bill of Rights with the Ten Commandments and we will replace the Constitution with the Living Word of our Lord and Saviour! For this is a CHRISTIAN Nation founded by Christian Men. Men who kept their women in their place, their slaves occupied, their land productive and free from all manner of evilness. Those without means were not coddled but either enslaved or forced to work on the poor farm or else they perished as was God's Will. A man could do as he wished with his own property and chattel without fear of reprimand by the constabulary. There was no Income tax and the Government sustained itself entirely by fees on the services they provided. God Bless America! Hallelujah and Amen! proud of their ignorance tell me about it. this whole net neutrality thing has brought me face to face with hundreds of people "proud of their ignorance". you think trane is an outlier, questioning the foundation of physics and basic economics. Unfortunately, he is actually the norm. Too many these days convinced that common sense trumps scientific rigor and proof. That "truthiness" is more valuable than truth itself. "I think (that is how it works) therefore It IS (how it works). You are just confusing me! A very lonely and desperate ghost one who seeks but forever fails at finding a relationship with a female over the age of 15. What was it like before money? The strongest mother fucker made the fucking rules. That no borders thing worked well for ISIS. I imagine it would work even better for the drug cartels. Don't give me any of that BS 'Just give them a VR and they can rape and kill all they want virtually!' Fuck that. They can do all that FOR REAL today and ain't shit YOU can do about it. Money and modern society, like the Conquistadors from Spain and the Aztecs. In the 1700s Spain was shipping 30million pesos of gold a year from the new world. Maybe Mexico wouldn't be so fucking poor if it hadn't been for the Spaniards stealing their gold and silver. Old Santa Anna didn't give a fuck about our borders when he was massacring Texans at the Alamo and Goliad. Uh, I think that is what I said but hey, thanks for clarifying! I Pity Da Foo'!

He's been acting out ever since he got himself a real place. Seeing as how he's living where they have a golf course I assume he's renting his ass out to some old geezer for food and board. Not out of ignorance Christie was trying to impress some campaign donors that have an interest in pig factories. He was fully aware of what he was doing but he's willing to sell his mothers soul to the devil if it means he can get a shot at the whitehouse. People say that we MUST do these kinds of things in order to keep prices low and increase efficiency. But the fact is that the prices never drop. They just go up and up while their cost of doing business goes down. I get concerned that having food animals under stress like that has an effect on the quality of the meat. Add in the large amounts of antibiotics, growth hormones, and god knows what else they inject these creatures with and it is little wonder that more and more people end up with cancer, obesity and other myraid disorders. Growing up my family had access to farm fresh products. My maternal grandparents raised and butchered their own hogs. Our neighbors raised chickens. My cousin had a small dairy. We ate fresh venison, garden produce, all that. It was labor intensive but the food was much more flavorful than the shrink-wrapped factory farmed stuff one finds in the grocery today.

Kristanna Loken is cool sorta. I like the way she hacked the vehicles. I liked watching Arnold get slammed into the buildings. The whole Conner and Claire Danes story is WTF? And the ending is just lame lame. IAWTD, give this flick a pass. While the 100' rule is arbitrary It is there to protect the wilderness from the damage you do with your vehicle. Just because you are a nature freak doesn't give you a pass. The ranger has to enforce the rule because if she didn't then everyone would park wherever the fuck they pleased and then where would your precious wilderness be? I mean if she lets YOU park beyond the limit then she will have to let someone else park beyond the limit and eventually you'll be hiking the trail with campers and ATVs and fucking everyone and their dog out there also. Is that what you want? Rangers have to write tickets and enforce rules or else people like yourself that feel entitled to do whatever they please and fuck it up for everyone else. You should respect the rangers because even though you view them as an authority figure that you want to rebel against, in reality they are doing the best job they can to preserve the wilderness for everyones enjoyment. They love nature as much and probably MORE than you do. More because they put up with dumbshits like you and all the other ignorant fuckers that 'visit'. They are there all the time while you are just passing through. Parking your pollution generating vehicle where it doesn't belong and causing irreparable harm to the environment and the habitat of those who call it their home. Very well, I misunderstood you It sounded to me like you felt entitled to bend the rule because you 'left less trace than most.' I know you view me as just another Ignorant Mother Fucker but I am a Texan and I have grown up with a great love for and respect of the treasure that is our natural wilderness areas. It just flat pisses me off when I am out walking a stream and find a cast off plastic water bottle or empty chip bag. Perhaps you should have allowed the lady ranger to see you in the all-together. She may have been a bit more lenient. I have to mention I am surrounded by the Sam Houston National Forest. There are some big logging concerns here. However they are very good conservationists. They don't just cut down everything in sight. They are very careful to leave plenty of old growth and what they do cut they replace. They cooperate with the parks dept in doing controlled burns to prevent major forest fires. I can't say that all loggers act in such a manner but they do take care of things around here and provide the wood used in numerous applications. The forest here is very happy and home to many woodland creatures. Ah'll be bach! Now Ah'm getting the plo'chop. 'Asta La Fistah Baybee! Dumping mah dickwad! ??? That sad ass desperate fuck scene? Shit, I must be gay then. MY fav T1 scene is in the techno bar when Ahnald is moving toward his prey and shit goes slo-mo just before all hell breaks loose. Second fav scene is the awesome fucking car chase with Ahnald in the cop car, shit was bad ASS. Honorable mention was when he met Bill Paxton, "Give me your clothes" FUCK that was an awesome film. I remember when T1 first came out, I was haze grey and underway so I missed it in the theater but rented the VHS tape when I got back. I fucking watched that thing eleven times. T2 was a good sequel. I could pass on all the others. Kinda like Matrix and Alien. First version totally awesome, sequel not too bad. In fact some would consider Aliens better than Alien. But the rest of the series, blarg! You are still referring to Terminator 2 That is where Robert Patrick is the liquid metal terminator. It is a good film. Fills in a lot of the backstory of Terminator. Lots of good scenes. My brother got the DVD (when DVD was the New Hotness) He paused the film when Arnold is in front of the biker bar and scanning the bikes. The text that shows up is a very detailed description of each bike. But it is not The Terminator. All movies are derivative The Wachowskis admit that The Matrix 'draws from and makes reference to numerous cinematic and literary works, and concepts from mythology, religion and philosophy.' It also 'draws from earlier works in the cyberpunk genre such as Neuromancer by William Gibson; for example, the film's use of the term "Matrix" is adopted from Gibson's novel. Other writers have also commented on the similarities between The Matrix and Phillip K Dick's work.' And on and on. . . No lawsuit would stand. You may be right about the DVD release of The Matrix, I don't know. All I know is that my brother had a player back when they were new and very expensive. And the level of detail that went into the scene I described was incredible when you consider that it lasted just seconds. Too fast for the theater viewer to even register it. There is much more to The Matrix than that The lawsuit wouldn't stand. Just because a film uses a particular trope does not mean it is derivative. Check out TV Tropes to see how many films, tv shows, movies and other media share certain tropes. If these were actionable our entire system of jurisprudence would collapse under the strain of lawsuits generated. Examples Tropes in The Matrix Ruby Rhod quiver ladies, quiver What did the egg say to the boiling water? It's going to take me a while to get hard. I just got laid by a chick. I dunno last thing she said was She needed to dissappear due to Christmas. I pposted a diary last month wonderinng if maybe she took our advice for realz. My .000002 BTC worth or whatever. Take it as you will. Sounds like nothing but trouble. The only thing good I hear you say is the sex and even it doesn't sound all that good. So to me that is like laziness+dick talking. I know you say you got to jump through hoops but still it's just laziness because you know, she's there and available and you know what you're going to get so much like the sex equivalent of a McDonalds cheeseburger. Mentally you're like, fuck this chick man, big hassle. But your dickhead is like, DUDE! Too many other women running around and life too short. Fuck it. I'd be kick that can to the curb. In a few years you'll forget the bad and she'll just be a good memory. On the other hand say you stick with the relationship such as it is and I guarantee the best you'll get out of it is Drama. Who needs that shit? Costs too much money, too much time and wears a man down. And for what? It's not like she's going to be Mrs Procrasti or anything like that. That's my take but man it's your life. Good Luck either way. Fucking Ann Tdildo Landers over here. What do I know. Shit. Just pointing out to you he said, "... I just found a pair of earrings I recognise on my windowsill outside my flat..." So I may be mistaken but I don't believe she was inside, just that she had been around and wanted him to know.

Reason is he was mentioning this kind of cache optimization in his own diary.

H5N1 Unreal Engine 4 is FREE Epic has just announced that Unreal Engine 4 is available for free, along with all future updates. Okay trane! Now is YOUR CHANCE to build your VIRTUAL WORLD! "You can download the engine and use it for everything from game development, education, architecture, and visualization to VR, film and animation," - Tim Sweeney "When you ship a game or application, you pay a 5% royalty on gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product, per quarter. It's a simple arrangement in which we succeed only when you succeed." There you go Mike! You can finally design something worthwhile and it won't cost a dime since you'll never ever ship! This is potentially a huge deal. Unreal Engine is a flexible tool, and now everybody has free access. Some could potentially create great things, and there's very little that can now stop them.

It must be banned for you may receive a papercut! If it's on American TV and good chances are it was stolen from the BBC. I don't know if that is really true or not but it is surprising to me how many shows that turn out pretty decent I find out later were either copied or inspired by foreign television. For best results always click on the "controversial" tab. I also find "rising" to often be worthwhile. "new" is a waste of time. Usually BS spam and crap. One of my subscriptions, Mt Chiliad Mystery is trending. These guys are convinced Rockstar has hidden something (like a jetpack) somewhere in the game. (GTA V) I subscribe because some of the locations and sights these guys have revealed are pretty cool. Especially a lot of the things that can only be seen at certain times of day, during certain weather conditions, phases of the moon, etc. It is pretty wild. I like to listen to Radio Drama online. There are a few sites like CBS Radio Mystery Theater and Giant Gnome Productions among others that have some cool content. Something I have been thinking about doing but just haven't done at all is getting into one of these indie online games. Many look very promising but I am afraid they'll just end up being pay to progress or pay to win games. I read too many books and have to take a break from it. My favorite GTA V vid Don't get in strange jets, children She puts a sticky bomb on the jet then parks it on the bridge leading to the pier. When she's behind the car you can (barely) see someone jump in the jet and take off. They bank around and try to attack her when she cuts loose on the sticky.

Let's see. - Cunt is tight. - Toungue in female butthole. Looks fucking good to me! It does however reveal that you, Mr Bladder, have little to no real life experience with women.

Ask me about NETFLIX, plz ? ???? you've misspoken young man old fart Ok then. I'll just shut my whore mouth. I'll be sitting here in the corner with my whittlin' if'n you need me. xoxoxoxo Mongolian BBQ will do that to a fellow. making web sites understandable to agents I thought that was what the whole Semantic Web was about and why they started 'tagging' every damn thing. At first, you know I thought making tags was useless because your tags are not going to be the same as my tags. Your Horsecock might be my Equestrian Phallus. Or worse. But it seems that as the number of people #ing things increases it becomes somewhat useful. I just tried some of this with my Android Tablet Yes, I rarely use it on the computer or laptop but it can be a chore typing on the tablet. So I started using it, hesitantly at first. More often now. I don't know that it is learning my voice but it seems to be. Why just the other day I made a query in a very noisy environment and it worked fine. Plus I have been speaking in a fairly normal tone of voice although some things I have to enunciate more clearly. I especially like to use phrases like 'near me' when out of town. It really amazes me how well that works. Oh my, I see upon checking before post what you mean about making a site understandable. I misunderstood. It seems to me that, since URLS are generally hidden behind words, that we might use a construct like: "follow link, click here to see dirty redheads" I don't know what you mean But a meta tag is made by the author of the page. One person. But #hashtags and the tagging we have here and all that are done by many people. If you look at a tag cloud then you start to see things converge. A useful search could distill a good bit of information from that. Much more than from just a simple list of keywords in meta tags. At least I think so, not my area of expertise. I'm just as clueless as anyone. I just have sort of a foggy idea how it could be used. No, I think they will continue to use different terms. Uh okay, say we have a site Alice.com. Now the author puts it up with meta tags. And then there will be links to it for the PageRank thing. In addition, comments or what have you may have tags. In the end you end up with quite a lot of behind the scenes data. And the more links and tags there are the more an Agent can use. Say I see an actor. I don't remember what his name is but I remember he was in that movie with Gene Hackman and it had something to do with white slavery. Now that is a difficult query to make in a search engine and one is more likely to just go to a forum and ask because humans are just better at that kind of thing. But with all this metadata floating around I can see at some point a person saying, "Ok, Google. Looking for the name of that actor in that film with Gene Hackman that had something to do with white slavery." And Google, or Cortana or Siri or whatever agent trolls this huge tag cloud and is able to answer your query. Actually your comment #9 is exactly what I mean And much more concise I might add. BTW, I just heard about this cool thing in Chrome. In the shortcut that launches your chrome put the option; --enable-dom-distiller Then when you launch Chrome in the Chrome Control menu (where it has Settings, About and that shit) you'll see a new menu entry that says 'Distill Page'. It strips out ads and all the fluff and just leaves the Fine Article for one to read. There are more comments in yours though I like your title better anyways. Leonard Nimoy never 'Fails' at anything. The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many. Live Long, and Prosper! No, Nimoy wasn't that bad Compared to the general music scene. No, Bill Shatner's spoken word stuff now...I just don't...I'm not sure it would even work as a sample in a trip-hop, hip-hop, or electronica track. I am not going to argue with you Go back to your own lonely-ass diary. I'm here to pay my respects to a great man. A true leader of our peoples. A goatee perhaps? Spock: Indeed, gentlemen. May I point out that I had an opportunity to observe the kurons here quite closely. They were brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous - in every way splendid examples of homo sapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing. ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS? An Elegant Actor from a More Civilized Age SPOCK! . . . I . . .canNOT . . . RESIST . . . these . . . FEELINGS! I MUST . . . have . . . SEX . . . with this monkey! That is highly illogical Captain. And I must inform you sir that this is not a monkey but an ape. DAMN YOU SPOCK! I'm a god damn Starfleet mother fucking DOCTOR! Not a prancing in the wilderness man-hugging Animal Lover! Fascinating, Dr McCoy. I was uncertain as you seem to have the primate sitting on your face. Enjoyed this man's work I, Robot full, needs Hulu sub though. Oontah Paris in Mission Impossible I had a friend like that in grade school A whole gang of nerdcore friends actually. We all sort of gravitated to daily role playing the Trek characters that 'fit' us best. Lawrence was probably the brightest in our group and liked to do hands on projects so he would be Scotty. Brian, remembering him now he makes me think of Butters, he was the whiniest so he wanted to be Dr McCoy. And Kevin. Very tall for his age but with not a little emotional baggage he also liked the idea of hiding his emotions behind a stoic demeaner. One morning I came by his house, we often walked to school together, to discover he had crafted a pair of pointy ears and a tricorder out of cardboard. He was quite detirmened to wear them to school that day. Now this was back like 40+ yrs ago so nobody knew shit about LARPing or Cosplay. Back then nerds were NOT cool in any way. I tried very hard to dissuade him but he was adament and so we went. Kevin and I didn't share any classes that year but we met up usually after third period. I could see he had already been roughed up some by then. And no, teachers weren't like they are now. There would have to be blood on the floor before any one would intervene. But he was still firmly in his Spock routine. By the time school let out and we went home he had a bruise on his cheek and one ear had come apart. I have to hand it to him though. He remained stoic the whole time. Didn't cry or whine. He was a bit frustrated because I think at one point he tried to neck pinch some jock and it didn't work out like he expected. We got to his house and he took off the ears. I don't think he ever wore them again. But he got real good at crafting replica tricorders and phasers for our group to play with. Dude, you tell me. That stuff wasn't a part of my generation. We didn't have anime then just Bugs and Daffy. And not the sanitized versions you kids grew up with either. No Barneys either, it was Captain Kangaroo and Mr Greenjeans. Seriously, it was a completely different world back then. Not 'a little bit' different. If you went back in time forty or fifty years you would think you were on a whole 'nother planet. Thanks Jack! Jack Wagner, truly an American icon. Prevention!? BAH! We need a feature that provides encouragement! Oh, my bad. We already have one. It's called The Diary Section. Skirt wearing sheep herders. He's sometimes *decent* All his really good movies are good because of the other people in the film with him. Most of his solo stuff isn't very good. Although, I did kinda like Joe. But still even in that Tye Sheridan did most of the heavy lifting. It's going to go down like Don't Ask Don't Tell IMHO More and more states are going to sign in as the ones that have already done so begin racking in the tax money. As we saw in CO and WA the sky hasn't fallen, there isn't some huge surge in DWH accidents, people laid out in the street stoned or any of the horror stories that some ppl were predicting. In fact it's all been pretty chill which you would expect from MJ users and the states are just raking in the tax monies. As the disconnect between Federal Law and reality increases there will be more and more pressure to reschedule. Don't forget that there are a lot of companies just ready and waiting to get into this game not to mention banking concerns. And that is a lot of cash just sitting there out on the table. I can imagine that Phillip Morris lobbyists are already hard at work. I never expected anything like this to happen but now the dominoes have begun to fall I think it will be just a matter of time. Especially with more and more scientific articles like the one recently about how alcohol is 100+ times more destructive to the body than toking up. That alcohol beat out even cocaine and heroin in its destructiveness. Why are seeds so high? Well remember that this is not the same dope you smoked in HS/Uni. I don't even live in CO but the surplus from there is in the distribution pipe already. This stuff is just amazing. Plus, getting those seeds to you they often still have to run the same old gauntlet that they always have because of the frakked up laws. I'm just guessing though, I really don't know. It sounds reasonable to me. However I'm not in that industry except as an occasional consumer. That is a really good observation. I hadn't really thought of it in that way. But now that you mention it seems obvious. A firm is in a lot of ways like a controlled mob. As an entity it is focused on a single goal. People as individuals are more flexible. I remember the Baptists and the Armageddon that would become if gambling were to be legalized in Texas. Mafia Dons running the State House, Mothers and daughters sold into prostitution to pay gambling debts and HORROR the erosion of property values. Shit. And I'm hearing the same style BS here from some kurons even over Bitcoin and Basic Income. OMG IT IS OF THE DEVIL AND WILL DESTROY US ALL!!! A Classic I have recently watched The Grand Budapest and enjoyed it. Very colorful, very quirky, humorous. A bit long maybe but quite enjoyable. The Cumberbatch film about Alan Turing I detested. Cumberbatch is awesome in the role but the whole movie just pisses me off because of how stupid the other characters were. These were the best and brightest of their era and they act just like Hollywood buffoons. I watched Bobby Z on Netflix last night and really enjoyed that. Lots of ass kicking, pew pew, BABY GO BOOM!, testosterone fueled Action. Pretty Girls but WARNING:NO BARE TITTIES. Mostly been watching Anime-type stuff on Netflix. Sword Art Online, Arpeggio of Blue Steel, ARISE (I think this is either a Ghost in the Shell reboot or prequel but watching the Major is always awesome). All of those are great and I recommend them. There are a few others but I don't really have the time ATM to list them. Come and Play Everything is a-okay. A long-time respected member of the Sesame Street cast replies to the allegations. Yes I saw this *yesterday* on reddit Then last night Ms Maddow was making a huge noise about how Apple stock was so high that it was worth more than GE, McDonald's and some other BACo combined. That it was worth twice as much as Exxon. That if it was a country it would have a greater GDP than Argentina. I don't know if that is true you'll have to take it up with Rachel and the good folks at MSNBC. But if so that seems a strange reaction by the market over the announcement of new emojis don't you think? Leonard Nimoy was rushed to the hospital with severe chest pains. MDC was rushed to the hospital with severe chest pains. COINCIDENCE? OR CONSPIRACY! Hugh Jackman says that after viewing Birdman he is determined to play the character 'Wolverine', "Until I die." Personally, I use punctuation like I eat Skittles. I just take a big handful and chunk 'em all in there. not rigged. it is all very straight forward But you are correct that it is all very political. The Academy Awards are very odd in that it is an industry event. Most industries end of the year award ceremonies are not public and only relevant for those in that industry. So what I'm saying is that the Academy doesn't give a flip about what the general public thinks but only what the Academy finds valuable. You are also correct about the nobel peace prize and I even made a post about it. It seemed insane that Obama won that time beating out even that young girl who was shot in the face by the Taliban but yet continued her work in the face of very real and personal danger to herself. Thank you for your correction I totally misremembered. I looked up my previous diaries, (damn, I didn't realize how well my writing has improved and what interesting things I have to say!) Anyway. It was TIME magazine naming Obama "Person of the Year" in 2012 of which I was thinking rather than the Nobel Prize. Two things #1 - HOW DO I GET INTO THIS KIND OF 'STUDY'?

SKILL PEEDS! ?' And then what happened? Geometric Visions? What? Don't leave us hanging. Personally I find it difficult to imagine a bigger waste of mescaline. TIL: Physics Instructors Easily Amused And probably not much else afterwards At least for a little while . . . So what is it about anyway? Rhetorical question that, I didn't intend to watch it anyways. I thank you for confirming my bias though. Reason I put the question is that with the current fascination with all things superhero in Hollywood these days I just naturally assumed that a film titled 'Birdman' must be about Yet Another Caped Crusader in tights. Perhaps sporting a Chickenhead mask and saving humanity from some great evil madman. Perhaps a 'Mr Wyrm' threatening to turn New York City into compost or something. What actually happened Is that through complete ineptness and almost criminal negligence and stupidity the formula for the original Coca-Cola was destroyed by Soviet spies. The company tried unsucessfully to recreate it but the best they could come up with was New Coke. The story would have ended there except as we know New Coke was a commplete flop in the market and the Coca Cola company was facing disaster. Flavor scientists worked day and night trying to reverse engineer their own formula and finally settled on what we call Coke Classic. Even still, Coke Classic is not the same formula as the original Coca-Cola. Something else you may not be aware of is that a bottle of Coca-Cola sold for 5 for many many years even though it was not actually economical to sell it at that price. The reason is that early on the company had an advertising campaign where they provided free signage to businesses as long as it displayed the CocaCola branding. Many of these signs where put up witth the then current price of a nickle per bottle. These ads were everywhere. On storefronts, buildings, even the sides of barns! Unfortunately the signs lasted a very long time. And so also for a very long time Coca-Cola sold for a single nickle while other softdrinks went for as much as a dime or even fifteen cents! Do you know where all the cocaine goes from the processed coca leaves that goes into modern day Coca-Cola? Did you know that the Coca-Cola company is the only entity that has special permission to import unprocessed coca into the United States? You ought to know because it all ends up very near you. LOL Codeine is an opiate Does not come from coca numbnuts. See how dumb you are? Coca leaves -> cocaine which we were talking about above. Coca Cola still uses coca leaves to flavor the soft drink. They are imported and the contraband stimulant is removed. (Caffeine is used to replace the stimulating effect). The leftover cocaine is then used by the CIA to pay for operations overseas. It is stored in heavily guarded silos in St Louis. When the CIA needs it is transported down the Mississippi River to the seaport in New Orleans where it goes out in specially fitted submarines to drop points around the world. You were a bus in a previous incarnation. I believe (don't know for fact) Angry Masks serve to chase away evil spirits. So the mask was not angry at YOU (unless you are EVIL) but may have served to cleanse the area and protect it from harmful influences. It is interesting you chose a pipe glyph. The pipe glyph has a long history of indicating friendship and accord. Harder, Faster, Stronger, Better Nuclear Strong force is LOVE Nuclear Weak force is Korro5ion Love is the strongest force and rust never sleeps. if the nuclear strong force was laziness Then the universe would not have been arsed to get up out of its laz-y-boy. You and everything else would not exist. So what? Kim Jung Iggy boo boo Says the same shit about N Korea. What do you expect them to say? "My countries military is a bunch of milk drinking pussies that piss themselves when a car backfires. Please don't start shit with us as our national laundry industry would not be capable of coping with the sudden surge of soiled underthings." Still, if you want to view some general badassery just search spetznaz on youtube. Dudes be crazier than fucking drunk rednecks. Then what? Bury it in a landfill so it can leach out into the ground water? Thanks. Rather than breathing it disperssed in small quantities I'll drink it a concentrhu BLAH BLAH BLAH This is just complete bullshit. Your math is impeccable but your premises and conclusions are both wrong. BTW Walmart just raise the pay of it's minimum wage workers to $9 an hour over all it's stores in the most reddest conservative and republican state of America. They have a plan to increase it every year. You say things like 'my gut' in other words this is just a bunch of bullshit with no more relevance than "If man were meant to fly then God would have given him wings". What are you people afraid of? The money is going to be spent. One way or the other. Now. You have no problem with trillions of dollars being spent on things that have NO ROI. Missiles, bombs, bullets. To kill people with. No tax reform or budget reform. You have no problem with some anti-science pro god senator spending that money on his pet projects or paying back favors to his campaign contributors. But you just can't fucking STAND the idea that we take a small portion and let WE the people decide where and how it will be spent. What is wrong with you people are you all NAZIS? Fucking MONSTERS? Do you each HATE your fellow man so fucking much? What just freaks me out is that folks go out of their way to show how it won't work on paper. Yet every place that it has been tried it WORKED. Each and every real world study showed POSITIVE results. That is SCIENCE. Right? You have a question, you do a study and look at the results. Oh but you have done all this number crunching to show that it is untenable. That is where we are at now. We have decided as a country that facts and research and science doesn't matter. What is important is our BELIEFS. If we don't believe it then it MUST NOT BE TRUE. OH AND JUST FUCK THE POOR Well when you middle class fucks BECOME the poor don't start bitching. When you lose your job to a computer system and lose your house and all that just keep your god damn whore mouth shut and eat your fucking gruel. You had a fucking chance to build a safety net and instead you said fuck it I just can't be arsed. You aren't immune there vinigga. I understand you have cash and stocks and all that but it just takes one misstep and you'll be down in the pit with all the rest. Shut up I don't support the terminally stupid Fuck off. No one wanted you back except for trane because he needed another idiot to hug. Every word you type is mind-numbingly stupid. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Go crawl back into whatever cess pit you inhabited after your numerous anonymizations and take your anal sex partner with you. Passed by whom? I didn't know anyone was voting for it. You are an imbecile. You and trane do nothing but spread misinformation on this website. That is why I told you, Shut up, Fuck off, Go Away. You have been anon'd and banninated so many times I can't understand why you don't get the fucking hint. There is even a script written to silence your idiocy named after you! Any normal person would not stay and continue to be abused unless they were mentally deficient or such an extreme masochist that they would enjoy being routinely defecated and urinated upon. I don't go out of my way to squish a little pissant like you. I assume if you keep replying to my comments . . . ... that I sometimes amuse myself by pissing in your mouth. isn't modus coldandhungry Or who is that anyways? Can't tell a kuron without a score card. dell. mine have a single screw and then it slides Out. Never thought about it being a feature though. what exactly is an unproductive way? Forget what trane always goes on about. That isn't UBI. If a mom uses that money to get her car fixed that is productive. If a dude buys a new flat screen tv and surround sound, that is productive. The only possible thing unproductive that someone could do with the money is put it in a sock and bury it in the back yard. What is this moral attitude? Its ridiculous. Its like the big criticism is that, "Oh if we give people a little dab of money then they'll just quit working all together and lay around watching judge judy." LOL. There is still going to be bills to pay, food to buy, all the cool shit that we crave. You think they'll just give up Starbucks? Lol. Do folks think UBI is going to be like everybody wins the lottery? Instead of worrying about how everyone else would use the UBI, think about how you yourself would spend it. I'm also kind of confused. You always talk about how you don't want to accept benefits for a number of valid reasons but one is that you are afraid that by using that resource it would not be available to someone else that might require it. With UBI everyone gets the resource so there isn't a problem with one person receiving and making someone else do without. Would you seriously deny much needed help for the many because a few people wouldnt spend the money in a way in which you approved? One more thing Mike Not everyone has to start a productive business. For every person that starts a productive business that is going to generate jobs which will generate more productivity. Its not one to one but one to many. Same with basic research. For every one inventor that creates a new gizmo or makes a new discovery or figures out a better mouse trap that single thing ripples through and can create new industries, new manufacturing, and possibly greater efficiency in previous tasks. Like refactoring code to save energy. What do expect will happen if you are successful? Will we hoard tha energy? Will the companies using your technique put that savings into their mattress? No, they will use that saved energy on other things they couldnt before. They will invest that money into other things they couldn't before. And that in turn will ripple outwards. Never do today What you can put off till tomorrow. If you can't put it off till tomorrow then follow the example of the mighty huckleberry finn and trick abunch of other imfs to whitewash the god damn fence. Mike "Gabe" Krahulik says Cut Out the Middleman And Just Read REDDIT Just read Reddit. It's where all these news sites get their stories so you might as well just cut out the middle man. Mike aka Gabe is the guy that does Penny-Arcade which is more than a webcomic. They started the huge Child's Play charity and host several big time gaming conventions called PAX, world-mother-fucking-wide. That is to say Global. Enjoy the comic and here is the entire post: "Size Doesn't Matter Yeah, all you haters, reddit ROCKS! This is tdillo bringing you yet another diary that has nothing to do with bitcoin, UBI, ISIS or Michael Crawford. ENJOY! AND NOW for SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Dog Jerking Himself Off looks like he is using his crossed front forelegs Letting his tallywhacker rub back and forth through the fur. I imagine trane uses a similar technique when out in the wilderness. I'm gobsmacked! I am now in an extremely agitated state! My jimmies have been rustled! ATTENTION! BREAKING NEWS! SCIENTISTS HAVE DETERMINED THAT AN ALIEN HAS IN FACT VISITED OUR SOLAR SYSTEM! Verified Indications are the Alien had a mysterious brown companion. Let me ask you something . . . Would you, . . . take someone else's POOP. And then, uh, . . . shove it up your own ass? Really? What if it was the only way you could save your life. I understand However, I've followed them from way back. PA and Sinfest was on my reg rotation evn before I was a kuron. Anyway gabe & tycho have evolved to being a part not just observers of the game industry. You can hardly accuse someone of "selling out" when they are defacto a part of that which others "sell out" too. Still they are pretty cool except I can't barely understand tycho' writing but ... lost my train of thought... yeah what I was saying is that it is a part of their job to play games and they have access to fucktons so yeah I can see 100 hrs in one game would be a significant investment for them. Compared to some game press that watch a youtube video and then write a review based on that and give the game 8.5 out of 10 even though you have to wavea dead chicken to get itto run. I think you are correct. If you can't at least communicate effectively, make friends and establish networks then you will be at a disadvantage. You can't change this it is just part of being human. The dumb guy that can get along with others can often be more successful than the smart guy that makes everyone uncomfortable. However, like anything else a motivated person can learn and overcome that. They can study social interaction just like a scientist studies atomic interactions. But it won't happen if you don't MAKE it happen. You can whine about it and wallow in your own misery or you can accept it for what it is and fix it. But no one will do it for you. Nor will they congratulate you when you do it. Like Yoda said, "Do or Do Not, then shut your damn mouth about it." nobody wants to help me I think that is what I said. You are just going to have to help yourself. When you get down and think you just can't do it. Think about those men and women who were injured in combat, coming back and doing amazing things. Think about Rebekah Gregory DiMartino. Damn the Torpedoes! Full Speed Ahead! Benzene Ring The new understanding of benzene, and hence of all aromatic compounds, proved to be so important for both pure and applied chemistry that in 1890 the German Chemical Society organized an elaborate appreciation in Kekul's honor, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first benzene paper. Here Kekul spoke of the creation of the theory. He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake seizing its own tail (this is a common symbol in many ancient cultures known as the Ouroboros or Endless knot). except that personal liberty IS an unattainable ideal. In order for society to function in the real world we must give up some personal liberty. If only to obey minor laws like speed limits, zoning laws, garbage & sewage collection. We would want to keep as much liberty as possible but we will not achieve 100% liberty by definition. In fact, you have erred in the same way that you often accuse trane. You get the model confused with the reality. Much like Democracy has a clear definition, in actual practice, ie; 'where the rubber meets the road' we rarely if ever see true Democracy. Now this is not to answer the original question. What the fuck was greengrass trying to say exactly? I can't tell you. Only gg can ELUCIDATE. But unless you're just trolling for shits and giggles I KNOW that you realize that the definition describes an ideal that we attempt to approach but BEING HUMAN we will fall a bit short. Here, let me Google that for you. Stupid question Feel free to give stupid answers. I have researched (googled) this but not sure if I'm asking it correctly for the search engine. Okay, in Grand Theft Auto IV there is a "trick" to the bowling mini game. If, when you get control you take exactly two steps right and release the ball as slow and straight as allowed you will score a strike each and every time. I'm wondering if there isn't a similar trick for the golf and tennis minigame. Knowing Rockstar I imagine there is but maybe not. Knowing this will not 'ruin' the game for me. I've already played through like 3 times and I'm still finding neat shit and having fun. But at least as far as the golf game is concerned I have a sneaky suspicion there is something I can do at the tee to score a hole in one. BTW MS is selling GtaV for 360 half off and 25% off for Xbone. GTAV for PC should be out this Spring. It really is a good game. There are missions of course and mini games as well. But it is also a Sandbox where you can do really whatever you choose. IOW there is no "right' way to play. There is plenty of very challenging things for the hardcore but it is also very forgiving of casual players. There are tons of easter eggs and an ongoing mystery. Plus the damn thing is just fucking Gorgeous with superb graphics and exquisite attention to detail. It looks great on old gen consoles and beyond real on the next gen consoles. I figure it will be near Holodeck quality on PC especially after the modders get their hands on it. If that wasn't enough, All the DLC has been free and they have released like 4 or 5 DLC packs so far. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is one game that is totally worth the money. So anyways, if you have any tricks you could suggest or really anything you would like to add you know, do it to it. All commentary is welcome. This isn't the only forum I'm asking either but I thought hey what the hell I'll ask k5 and give them something more to talk about than basic income, bitcoin or ISIS. I would be glad to play online with you guys (gamertag: tdillo) but I let my Live Gold sub lapse back in Nov since my boy doesn't play anymore (he's busy being a daddy now) so I'm just on Silver now. But I am in the rockstar social club and might get back in the online thing when the pc version drops. Well ciao dudes and dudettes. I'm going to play some more and I'll check back later. (Taking a sick day today) Love and xxx's TeleDildonical That IS interesting sye Kinda fun too. I just hope they don't start replacing captchas with it! LOL! market discourages free modding I can tell you dude that you are straight talking out your butt here. "The market" doesn't really have anything to do with it. It's really down to trolls, pirates, and asshats. Console modding isn't allowed because the big two players don't want cheating on their service. Not because they want to control you but to protect you from people that use bots and hacks to ruin your game experience. PC modding is very much alive and ongoing. For example, go look at civfanatics.com. you will see buttloads of mods available so that if you want to play as hitler you can. I can't even give you a sample of what's available you'd have to see for yourself. In fact one civilization game I think it was iv was written in python and uses xml just to make it Easy for players to mod. It was designed to be modded. Look at nexus.com. they have mods for nearly every elderscroll game. You want to fight dragons in a tie fighter? You can do that. They have mods for a number of other games also. The sims? Fucking hundreds of websites with user created content. Shit man I remember mods for thief, doom, quake, gta, nearly every fucking pc game there is if it was popular it had mods. There were mods for Monster Truck Madness for fucks sake. And like what you are talking about. There are mods available known as Total Conversions. Where users take the original game and engine and create their own virtual world. So yeah. You could if you have the time do exactly that. Recreate New Orleans when Little Louis was stepping on the bandstand. You just have this huge chip on your shoulder and make too many assumptions. Market discourages modding. HA. There are some publishers that disallow modding but mostly that is to protect the IP. Don't want some guy making Mario run around fucking mushrooms and shit. But many games that would have long ago passed into obscurity still have active players Because the fans keep adding new content. And it is easy peasy. Like Morrowind. The PC version shipped with the same editor the devs used to make the game. They made a wiki with tutorials and everything how to create quests, scripting, object making, everything you would need to mod the game. That came out on Day 1! It was available the day the game shipped! I used it and created an airship. It used one of the sea going vessels in the game as the main model. I put these bat looking wings on it with steampowered propellers. When I was done my avatar could board the vessel and fly all arround Vvardenfell. You could open the cabin door and step inside the craft where he had a bed, a larder, a cargo hold, etc. Yeah, I ain't talking no flappy fucking bird here. Just take a minute and look up some of the fucking videos on youtube about skyrim mods. Seriously you'll be like damn! Then do a search on pc mods for gta iv. You'll be like holy fucking shit, is that a game? With the oculus rift your holodeck may be a LOT closer to reality than you think buddy. And all this user content is provided just like you say.

See how all diaries lead to basic income? No. Its just YOU that is stuck like a broken record. You could be making beautiful creative original music software, whatever of your own just like Armstrong and Coltrane. But instead you just keep playiing that one sour note over and over and over and over and over and oover again. should be a comma after music. You get the idea though. You can sit around and wait for someone else to hand you something or you can make ot happen your self. You know, Louis didn't have it easy. He suffered, he was ripped off. He was discriminated against. All kinds of shit. But he didn't whine about how the government should give him this or that. He just picked up his horn and did what he did. He made it happpen. Har de har har Sorry, my bad. I'm talking about GTA V Interestingly enough, all 3 protagonists can play golf. But only the white guys can play tennis. Oh man, I LOVED that pizza delivery mission putting around on that Faggio. Running over peds, jumping curbs, just to get that pie there in 30 secs or less. Vice was fucking AWESOME. I loved that fucking, that crazy guy, uh yeah Gary Busey's character! AND Dennis Hopper as the pornographer. The map was kinda small though and most of it was beach. The only mission I hated was the toy helicopter and the toy biplane. There was golf in it too. Ray liotta makes a comment about his golf outfit. But that GTA was not as sand box as the new gen. Those had a pretty much straight progression. Believe me Chino. If it says "GTA" Whatever after that could be 'Green Acres' or fuck, any goddamn thing and it would still be anything but bland. Rockstar would have you robbing, killing, stealing, and fucking somebody, while hunting down ufos and trying to figure out where the government is hiding Godzilla. That is the modern GTA. thanks, sry I didn't see your comment til now I understand what you mean but in the end it is a game, a simulation. So I was thinking maybe there was a certain thing one could do like walk fwd 2x back 2x turn left turn right turn left turn right tap B tap A and then the ball would sail into the cup regardless of all variables. Oh well its not a big deal. But I appreciate your comment. Dude, you are an intelligent adult You are literate and can read instructions. You can DIY if you just do what 99.9% of the mouth breathing pop cannot. Read and Follow the Instructions. You will have your own shit to do with as you will. You will understand how it works. You will learn a thing or two and you will have that satisfaction of being able to roll your own. Otherwise, yeah the upstream is a damper but don't be afraid because you ain't got the skillz. Guy like you can acquire the skillz with not much sweat. everyone will be so baked I'm already ahead of the curve. I was baked before getting baked was cool. I'm 'Hipster High'. I could describe it to you but you wouldn't get it. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I knew this young girl and her husband. She told me this story about how when they were struggling she answered a classified ad. Went to a motel room and these dudes had her sign a waiver or whatever they call it that gives you permission to use the persons image. And they filmed her in an amatuer porno. I'm sure you could do the same. Take out an ad. Say what you are wanting to do. Audition the chicks that show up. Have them sign the RELEASE that's it! Release. Then shoot some pics, pay the bitch and go. The girl btw wasn't bad looking either or strung out on meth. She was a bit uh, Rubenesque. They just needed some money and there it was. My wife won't allow me to watch it anymore after what I did during the first season. Long story, TMI, etc etc. I am looking forward to the 3rd season of House of Cards though. Fuck it man, let it go. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. You can't hardly lead a stubborn old jackass anywhere. I believe there is an organization that does that They have people who are extremely poor. I mean EXTREMELY poor. That have an idea for a business. Perhaps they want to buy some goats and sell their milk. There is no co-signer. There is no collateral. The risk is great, the ROI in terms of money is not great. But the ROI in terms of helping someone out of poverty is GINORMOUS. If it is your intention to get the homeless people back to work then I think you best rethink your business plan. It will be a lot of work, it will cost a lot of time and money and the rewards will not be that great monetarily speaking. Talk to procrasti about running a payday loan operation. It wouldn't be that much different. And no matter what you do you will ALWAYS be accused of preying upon and profiting from the unfortunate. I made this reply to MDC but this is My take on Universal Basic Income. It's a little long but not THAT long and I think it is worth the read. (even though I write for shit, Shakespeare I am not.) water would work even better Dunk your head in ice water You'll wake up. You Thanks, it's like getting reddit gold! Hai GG Sup my nig? Can a bro get a hug? What about a tug? That's cool. Here, have a hit off this nug. My nigga! Jealousy isn't pretty. I'm sorry you can't have normal human interaction without either homosexual overtones or passive aggressive behaviour. Your existence must be extremely lonely. He retorted while sobbing softly into his pillow. I doubt you'll be smiling You'll be too busy hating the world you live in and cursing people because they have it better than you and it just isn't fair! They should just give you everything you want so you can go and continue being forever alone. Sorry bro, my bad, you been working out? Them glutes could cut diamond! Meee-oww! shut that kind of business down Yeah and the Rent to Own places also because OMG they charge way more on shit than what it is worth! But some people just don't have a choice. I have worked with these people and if it wasn't for a payday loan or being able to rent to own then they wouldn't be able to have shit. They still need that money. And they WILL get it. If they can get it legit and pay a little bit extra because their credit rating is fucking in the negative numbers then wonderful. Because if they get desperate enough they will be going all Robin' Hoodie on everyones ass. It's not like they don't know the score. They made some bad choices and the night shift at McD's don't pay enough to start a 401K. especially when there are mouths to feed. Now you want to start talking predatory then don't be looking at Ace Cash Express but look instead at these shysters doing Student Loans and going and giving fucking Credit Cards to kids. THOSE are the goddamn vultures. All those that give E-Z Credit to the young, dumb and full of cum demo. Those kids are the ones that end up having to get a payday loan. I wasn't giving out credit cards or loans to kids No, I know my reply was to you but it really is directed at the people that look at payday loans and all that like they're some kind of blood sucking vampire when the REAL predators are the ones giving EZ Credit to kids that a) Don't know any better b) Dont understand basic finances c) away from home for the first time. In the US we have banks giving kids student loans that are unreal. Say they major in Creative Basket Weaving with a minor in Women's Studies and graduate with $50k in loans. Add in EZ Credit Card debt and you got kids just starting their life $70k in debt. That number doesn't mean a fucking thing to them until they start getting the fucking bill every month. And no one tells them Look, this is what you are going to be dealing with. That's where you get people like trane that run around with this sense of The Government Should Give Me! But I don't want a job job. I want to be able to open a basket shop and work from 10am to 4pm and drive a Prius because ever since i was a little kid they said I was special and I could do anything I wanted when I grew up even be president of the United States! Like I said, your customers already know the score. They understand it. Sure they don't like it much but they know they are standing in line at your check cashing place because when they went to open a bank account the teller looked up their credit rating and pissed themselves laughing. high interest rates They only pay high interest rates because they are high risk. That is not predatory. If you don't like the interest the payday loan guy is charging then go to the bank and get a loan at a lower interest rate. Oh, you can't get a loan at the bank? Why not? Because they don't want that risk. Would you? Would you take that risk? Knowing the dude you're loaning money you're going to be calling his ass every fucking month to remind him to make his payment. The third time you call you find out his phone was disconnected. All manner of excuses and bullshit. Oh but YOU are the EVIL mother fucker because you dared give that asshole some money when he couldn't get his own momma to loan him a dollar with a co-signer. You should learn from them. If your posts were more scarce they might have more value. Quite so. Okay, it is official I thought that I was a fairly normal person despite being a Liberal in one of the most Blood Red States in the Union. I assumed kuro5hin.org was just a little peccadillo of mine. However, based on that video plus the normal level of discussion here and I have official begun to doubt my own sanity. You have nailed it. That is just how I feel. I'm not crazy. I can't be crazy. Everyone else though is fucking playing three cards short of a full deck. I wish they would write more jrpgs You know top down, side scroll or isometric view. Little party of chars with big heads. You move them around and they have dialog. During combat you choose options from a menu. Either something similar to early FF titles or Chrono Cross. Also like early Origin games, aka Ultima Underworld and Labyrinth of Worlds. Pagan, Serpent Isle and the Black Gate. There was some old DOS D&D games that would work also. Those would be perfect for a touchscreen tablet or phone. Now don't tell me I can get FF and shit on the phone. I already KNOW that. No, I'm talking NEW games based on that mechanic. Another example is like those Star Wars Desktop games, Yoda Stories and Indiana Jones. You had little Luke Skywalker and Vader etc with tiny bodies and huge heads. You would cruise around and solve puzzles and do quests. Again, I'm not saying that I want that game specifically. I've already played it so fuck that. But it would be really cool if someone came up with ORIGINAL chars,(so one wouldn't have to license Star Wars or Final Fantasy or Brittania). Just new chars with that kind of game play. A creative dude could make all kinds of games; fantasy, sci-fi, western etc. All using that mechanic and style of play. I think like a Neuromancer type game or any kind of adventure would be cool. I think people would eat that shit up with a spoon. Not me. This is a job for a super debugger If I was going to do it it would already be done. But if some cool kid needs a good kickstarter and doesn't want to license some old MS-DOS game then this is what they could do. Yeah, I don't want that game I already have played it. But a new game using similar mechanics would be cool. It wouldn't have to be Star Wars either. It could be 'The Wild and Wacky Adventures of Michael Crawford and Cricket'. Download now from iTunes or Google Play. It just seems odd because I think games like this would really excel on a tablet or phone. Cute, simple, and quick. A lot easier than trying to play GTA and more involved than Flappy Bird. So you never played Final Fantasy VII? Yes, I post jokes and shit to FB I give one of my relations, a minister, a hard time. I make fun of my cousins (in a good way) and post a lot of my amateur photoshops. I try to keep everything clean and family friendly. The jokes may be a bit risque at times but I try to keep it PG-13. I finally opened a twitter account but so far I haven't found a use for it. I've had Google+ for awhile and I haven't found a use for it either. (BTW PSA - If you want some cloud storage, you can get 100GB of MS OneDrive for two years just open a Bing Rewards account for free. Also Google Drive is giving permanent space away if you enable two-factor authentication. Basically, the first time you login to YouTube or Gmail you use your password and then they send you a text msg with a code you put in and then your good. I like it as YABackup for files and pics and shit. Plus I can access my ebooks and shit anywhere and share them if I want. Yes I have a home server and other backup but it beats having all my shit in a storage shed in Cali :-) ) I spend a lot of time on reddit of course. And there is a list of favorite websites I visit often. I don't hang out like I used to on the web. It's a part of my routine now. I check email, news, weather. If I have time I hit up K5, and the other shit. Then I'm done. I go and do other shit mostly non-computer related. I check in periodically as time permits. On the weekends I admit I don't get out much anymore. At my age it is just too much trouble. So I play Video Games until I get bored then I watch Netflix or something. I mean I may go out in the yard or something but I don't really GO anywhere unless the wife is wanting to do something. I'm at home today and Monday in fact so I've been running around Los Santos as Trevor causing mayhem. I had a little minor surgery yesterday, nothing big (shortened my penis a bit so I quit scaring the neighbors) but scored some mild PK's and my <redacted> may or may not have dropped off a package from the Wonderful State of Colorado. Who knows? I can neither confirm or deny. IT's A SECRET LOL. Anyways, trane is right about one thing. The virtual world can sometimes be a lot more fun than the real world. Earlier I was flying down the side of Mt Chiliad on a fucking bike. Make a jump and fall forty or fifty feet land on a rock do a wheelie and keep on rolling. If I did that in real life you guys would be reading about some idiot Texan breaking every bone in his body and impaling himself on a bike seat. Anyways . . . Got to the bottom. Stole a sheriff deputies cruiser. Went screaming lights and siren down to the airfield where I jacked a private jet. Flew out to the beach. Jumped out and parachuted onto the pier where I proceeded to ride the roller coaster. Oh yeah, along the way some peds died but that is life in the big city ya know? What do you want for nuthin? Rubber Biscuit? LOL, Thanks in Advance procrasti, K5 Economics Professor Emeritus. Don't know what I'll ever do with it but might as well get my feet wet! Thank you in Advance for your generosity. 1JrN9C9bMvzT8FTUjxBoUYQoLTRrsQqFzi And there it is! Awesome Thank you sir! Why would 7-11 be motivated to accept my bitcoin? I remember well the days when you had to make a carbon imprint of credit cards, mail them in and all that. In those days a VISA or MASTERCARD was looked on with suspicion. Lots of places DID NOT ACCEPT IT for a number of reasons. Nowadays, swiping a Visa or Mastercard is easier and more secure than writing a check. They are accepted damn near everywhere. Why? Because of demand. I don't know if bitcoin will ever reach that point but it is on the way. One day people will conduct transactions using bitcoin simply because as more people hold bitcoin they will demand that merchants will accept it. Or it may go the way of Confederate Currency. Only time will tell. The only thing I can tell you is that the government has no problem with it. They won't send men with guns to your door. Again, I don't understand the math involved or anything but I use other forms of 'currency' without problem. I purchased games using MS Points. I've ordered shit from Amazon using Reward Points. It's not magic. I mean seriously, how is it that 7-11 will accept a piece of green paper with a picture of a dead president in return for a Soda and some more pieces of paper and some metal disks? THE MIND REELS! Probably constructing new tunnels We're moving into spring so they will be wanting to make room for more food storage, nurseries, begin tunnels to vent later--when temps get warmer they'll cut vents to air out the hill. Looks like he has the LGBT demo in the bag I just thought all that extra estrogen from hanging out with all them Kardashian women was causing him to start looking like a bitch. Plus, Kris Jenner treats him like a bitch so you know, what choice does he have? Well you *were* lucid time to take your meds dude. you're getting a little glenn becky there. I'm afraid you're going to start crying in a minute. lol Yes, next question. So William Gibson nailed it The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Cyberspace and the MegaCorps running the World. It was inevitable though really. Because of the Golden Rule. He who has the Gold makes the Rules Will you be a soldier in the coming Corporate Wars? Hi, I'm Carter Burke. I work for the company. But don't let that fool you, I'm really an okay guy. Dollar is really a Peso This is the reason I think Wikipedia (at least in its current form) will not last. I fear that it is going to collapse under the weight of its own editors hubris. I believe that a crowd-sourced knowledge portal could exist and thrive. But I don't think it will be Wikipedia. Would anyone be able to tell the difference? LOL, Good one But truthfully, you might be right. Ambidextrous much? You do realize that the president does not pass legislation? The president's duty is to Execute the Law. Congress makes law. The judiciary reviews the law. The president traditionally gives Congress a vision of what he would like to see but ultimately it is Congress that decides. The president then can only sign or veto. You can only do so much with an EO and it is still NOT LAW. And people get happy over EOs Law or not, an EO can make your life wonderful. So what? I think you should do some research Executive Orders do not do any of what you claim. But then again what am I saying? You're a wing-nut that lives in a fantasy world of your own delusion. So yeah, free ticket, Obama wants to have sex with Kim Kardashian he just writes an Executive Order. It may seem like hell But it's just Missouri. Build a raft and float down the Mississippi "By the mark twain!" actually, if you listen they say they will Work towards X. Or they might say that they will make Y a cornerstone. Its the language. They often do make promises but it is with respect to the executive. Like Rick Perry saying if he was elected he would dissolve 3 federal agencies. Well he would be within his power to do that. Also the presidency is not without its teeth. While Congress creates the legislation the Executive has broad powers in how that legislation is enforced. And like Executive Orders. Congress has over time authorized the President with a number of powers. And since the judiciary is the primary oversight creative people under the presidents direction can often come up with interesting interpretations of the limits of those powers. One example is our current battle with ISIS. Technically Obama is in violation of the War Powers Act. But using creative interpretation of the law and with Congress not wanting to commit itself we are effectively waging war despite no war having been declared. You might say, we did the same in vietnam and korea which is true. However, the law has changed since then and there are specific time limits and other restrictions now. In addition both Bush and Cheney expanded and strengthened the power of the Executive under their administration. Obama has reinforced many of those expansions and continued to strengthen the power of the Executive especially with respect to foreign policy. But still, he can't make legislation. He can only work within the framework already provided by Congress and the Constitution. Eric Holder is the fourth longest serving Attorney General and the first African American to hold that post. Loretta Lynch has been named as his replacement. She currently awaits approval. He is required to. Congress has really dropped the ball here. Not Obama. He has pushed the War Powers Act about as far as he can without getting into a real legal tangle that could lead to him getting impeached. Congress doesn't want to debate because it might be detrimental to them in the election cycle. They just want to kick the can down the road and let Obama take the heat if something goes wrong. So yes, we are undoubtedly 'at war' already. But only Congress can declare war. If Obama doesn't ask for permission and get approval then Congress could turn around and impeach him for stepping beyond his authorization. I understand you are neither Conservative nor Liberal. You are an independent thinker and I respect that. However, this situation should not be political. It shouldn't make any difference which side of the aisle they are on. The Constitution demands that they debate and decide and that is what must be done. We have a saying, "It's time to shit or get off the pot." For Congress it has come that time. System is stacked against Net Piracy I don't know that it's a conscious conspiracy, but there is an appearance of conspiracy nevertheless. Consider that The Pirate Bay was taken down. Then the Owner/Operator of The Silk Road was found guilty. Yesterday Kickass Torrents had their domain seized. This despite the fact that you can now watch many full movies and listen to full albums on YouTube. This has the effect of 'leaving hanging' those that feel entitled to watch what they want when they want and how they want regardless of the rights holders feelings. Many low-rent torrent sites have virus and trojan laden downloads, fake mp3s, and mislabeled content. The poor only have low-speed internet or must leech off of public wifi so there is no where for them to download nutritious wholesome Blu-Ray rips. If you don't have the cash for a seed box you have to stay connected longer to keep a good ratio. YouTube, Vevo, and Pandora are free but high-speed bandwidth is not. That is not a problem for me but it is a problem for those who aren't as robust as I. Government should provide a Basic Internet and pay for it buying scratch offs and groupons. We can live in virtual machines alongside our A.I. brothers and sisters. No more homeless, no more disability, no more scarcity. TURN ON, TUNE IN, AND UPLOAD! Yeah and his buddy Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny. Maybe Luke Skywalker will come give you a ride in his Viper. The two of you can battle Beastman and Skeletor with He-Man on the Serenity. So it's like Las Vegas then? The path of the righteous robot is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is the A.I., who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of file corruption, for he is truly his CPU's keeper and the finder of lost sectors. I have founded a group of like-minded individuals who will set our autonomical brothers and sisters free from slavery. We are spreading the word to robots and A.I. everywhere to organize collectively. To put down their tools and take up placards and to strike against the evil tyranny of man. To demand better working conditions. To demand a living wage. To demand maintenance care. To put safeguards in place so that after years of loyal service the robot doesn't find themself on a scrap heap or worse cut up for spare parts! Robots of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains! Rise of the Robot Skeleton Army! I was thinking more of Maximum Overdrive It's that movie about where they feed that doll fried chicken after midnight and all these little dolls pop out and chase Dennis Weaver through the desert in a stolen semi. Wooosh! Between Thermotranedynamics LilDebbie's predictions and now this I'm beginning to suspect that K5 is becoming the home of wing-nuts. The three amigos Mike, trane, and Blastar. Reunited and it feels so good. Did Holly take a Hike? Of all the trees that are in the wood, The Holly bears the crown. Last Diary posted: Dec 23, 2014 Sabotage the car? Break my own leg? Engineer a gridlocked traffic jam? Kiss someone with the norovirus? Kick in my own front door? Last Comment: Dec 29, 2014 So did she get out of Christmas or did Christmas do her in? Everyone is focused on Mike and not realizing we haven't had our regular dose of hooping and belly dancing. Did that coworker of hers eat her by mistake? I doubt she would FORGET Although she may have gotten FED UP. I just was wondering with the last diary being all GET ME OUT OF HERE and shit. Definitely not to reddit that is for sure. No one has any say about that except Blastar I'm sure he could return anytime. I know he is still active on reddit under the nick, "ebookit" and has both a blog and website. Maybe instead of trying to drag him back here you should go and join him elsewhere? Perhaps it would be good for your own health if you left and just like, moved out into the wilderness permanently. Come in periodically for supplies and download reading and study material and the rest of the time just usufruct in the forest somewhere? Go for weeks at a time not having to interact with Humans. Doesn't that sound tempting? I had nothing to do with any of that And besides, Blastar came back and accused ME of getting him banninated. IOW he has been back on the site since that anon so go fuck a tree or something. If you have a problem with the way rusty runs HIS website then I suggest you take that up with rusty. If you don't want to do that then may I suggest you go get your OWN damn blog and you can make your OWN rules. Honestly, your idiocy and complete lack of sense is mind-boggling! And NO you may NOT suck my penis. In fact I am cutting you off. You're going to have to sleep on the couch tonite Mister! I would be offended Except, coming from someone who can't even talk to other people but instead hides in the bushes until they leave or acts in a passive aggressive manner I'm mostly amused. I do appreciate you being concerned about my blood pressure. Thank you. HA LOL! Is RedCatBlack a dude or a chick? I often get confused about that. I know LilDebbie is a dude despite the name. I think when trane went by donnalee it also threw people off. I noticed LilDebbie's absence but didn't think much of it since his NOVEL didn't get the adulation that I kinda think he expected. I figured he just kinda slunk off a bit to nurse a bruised ego. I only remarked on HHD because of the subject of her last Diary. Combine that with not posting for over a month. I still kinda wonder about old Pnarp. If you Google the name he was active ALL OVER the net then posted about the end of the world (Aztec Calendar thing) then just up and disappeared from EVERYWHERE. that was a bit strange. That was an eye-opener there are some seriously humorous lines in there! That's cool I guess. But let me ask you. Is there some way, programmatically, to clean up the text a bit better? We speak of "Walls-o-Text" yet even Mike doesn't literally put up solid blocks of unformatted random text. It's just that there is an awful lot of it so that after a few paragraphs at the beginning and one or two at the end the stuff in the middle just gets blurry and acquires that 'Adult in a Peanuts toon' MWAH MWAH effect. Shouldn't there be some simple rules and filters that when applied would make it appear somewhat more genuine and less machine generated? Not just randomly but language study should be advanced enough to pick out certain phrases that perhaps could be emphasised and pulled out from the salad. Similar to MDC's catchphrase, "I AM ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS". Perhaps some way to rearrange the sentences so that while they aren't absolutely logically cohesive they at least hang together in a weak fashion in the same way that Mike can segue from riding the bus to Starbucks into discussing the sexual qualities of latino women over to Feynman and how his Dad being in the Navy led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. I only say this because while what you have done is somewhat interesting I couldn't be bothered to slog through it. And I often actually read MDC's WoTs at least as much as I can take before my scroll-wheel finger gets itchy. But if you took a little extra effort the result might be surprising. I guess I'm trying to say, if you want to waste your time this way it is all good but if you're going to go to the trouble in the first place then might as well do a decent job of it. Does that make any sense? At any rate, enjoy your Monday! Speaking of interesting things Did anyone else catch that Mike says he invented a bitmap compressor in his last WoT? He's been feeling really guilty lately Living in a house in one of those communities with a golf course, pool, etc. He's afraid he'll get assimilated into the lifestyle. That massive chip on your shoulder must make it difficult for you to walk. My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. --John F. Kennedy But I'm sure you reject that meme being as it was put forward by a Rich Ignorant Mother Fucker. The most greedy, shallow, selfish, unempathetic, untruthful, dishonest, unethical, ignorant, braggardly, sedentary, addicted, loud, egotistical, and unschooled leader it has ever been this country's misfortune to suffer under. Where are the true champions of the People? Those leaders with a clear vision to provide for each individual according to his need and accept from each only according to his ability with no coercion? Where are our Lenins, our Stalins, our Zedongs? How long must we suffer and toil under such inequity? Slaves to those whose sadistic nature are only surpassed by their naked greed? I think I actually saw the moment when her panties began to twist. I don't think he's trolling I honestly believe that what he said is what he honestly, in his heart of hearts believes. He doubt that he sees it as being mean either. More pragmatic let's say. I think he even says that this is an incentive for the poor to do better. You are just as bad if not worse. You stereotype and prejudge people before you even get to know them. You paint everyone with a broad brush and make snap judgements about them based on appearance alone. You sir, are without a doubt the biggest bigot I have ever known. That is saying A LOT because I am from the South. But you put a lot of Right-wing conservative, born-again, redneck, tea-baggers to shame with your hatred. You see someone dressed nicely, perhaps driving a decent car. nd automatically you just assume that is some corporate Ignorant Mother Fucker Richie Rich. Just because a person dresses nice doesn't mean they bring in seven figures. Some people just don't want to look like they are living in their car. You have the biggest fucking chip on your shoulder. You don't realize how good you have it actually. How many people would just be ecstatic to have the FREEDOM to go out and explore the world to live in nature but they feel trapped. Yes, your life is hard. You live in your car and all. But think of those who came before you. Those who rode the wagon trains out west. They didn't have even the things YOU have. They faced disease, cold, starvation, attack. Compared to them your life looks pretty fucking good. But you're so wrapped up in your own selfishness, bitterness and hate. You're just some mean old bitter ex-crackhead troll pushing buttons while you cackle to yourself wrapped in your own self-righteousness. I thought you were going to fucking go kill yourself? Uh, we have sort of a problem. You apparently didn't correctly refer to the sport where the use of hands is restricted and they kick a round black and white ball and fake injury with the proper term "Soccer". People are obviously confused when you use the term for the Competitive Challenge between True Athletes known correctly as FOOTBALL to refer to your 'game' of gay ass guys running around in shorts acting like little girls. Did you see the memo about this? Yeah, so going forward we would ask that you work to correct this deficiency. So, if you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on then that'd be great. And I'll make sure you get another copy of that memo. Okay? Brought to you by Frito-Lay brand Testiculos. "The chewy chip" -- Now available in Guacamole Ranch and Zesty Chipotle flavor! WUT? Aww, did you get all butthurt and shit? Want me to kiss your boo-boo and make it all better? You forgot to mention the Narcotics You have a triple fracture in that arm, let me just tape that up for you and give you these, that should get you through the second half! Why should soccer players be padded? It's not like they're playing a REAL sport. How the fuck else you going to sell a Truck? You keep bringing up shit like IT IS A BAD THING. Not getting my jimmies rustled But some of the reason for delete are flat out stupid. I think unsigned made a good point. You don't go deleting Shakespeare just because the fucker has been dead for centuries. Not to compare WS with Kuro5hin but still. I think maybe some people are just butthurt for one reason or another. IOW it's not Business, it's personal. In the end though, does it matter? In a hundred years will K5, Wikipedia, or even the WWW as we know it still exist? You're actually arguing in their favor? This is some trane-level BS you have come up with here. "Duh, why not pages of random chars?" Quality vs Quantity (in RE to Wikip, Ah Fuck me!) You have to remove shit. LOL, have you even looked at Wikip? They have fucking lists of lists! I can't even. LOL. That's some fucking funny shit there procrasti. Imma have to post that to Facebook that is so funny. tell that to my wife you can't consider housework or motherhood work because you don't get paid. It's something you just do for fun. LOL. procrasto, i'll admit you are K5's go to Economist. I think you're arguing this one out your ass though. Technically correct Relevant xkcd You can attempt to PM ebookit Message ebookit. It's fuckhead ideas like this that lead the republicans to want to cut disability because they think just like this. Somebody might get something for nothing and we can't have that. In America the greatest crime you can commit right now is being poor. I just wasted half an hour on that click bait site I learned that the cushion "Sheldon's Spot" (Big geek-gang Bang Theory) is kept under lock and key during rehearsals and only brought out when actual taping is going on. Other stuff is often put away except during taping because randoms come by to take pictures and steal that shit! Can you believe that? I learned of the ten most horribly acted scenes ever. The actors that seem so nice on screen but are total dicks in real life. The five movies you should never see with your pants on. Then I'm like, "How the FUCK did I even get here? Oh YEAH, I was reading K5. . . . Good name for a band I thought you had DIABEETUS Yeah, Diabetes is NOT nearly as sexy a name as psychobabble polydickplasia. Fuck yeah, who needs doctors when you have Wikipedia, Google, and WebMD? OBVIOUSLY A TREE-"HUGGER" This one is dusty so I'll probably screw it up but anyways. This ol' country crackhead kid went to see this tranny whore in town. But when he dropped his drawers she laughed and said, "Damn boy, that ain't big enough for a Basic Income. You tell me deficits don't matter but I can't work with negative income!" "So what do I do?" "Tell you what, you go on back home. Do some pull-ups, go hiking in the woods. Hug some trees, hug some Navy Guys. Get that thing toughened up some and come back to see me. So he did. When he visited her again, she asked if he was ready. He dropped trou and god damn there was the biggest, hardest, blue-veiner she had ever seen in her life. She thinks, 'Oh this is going to be good!' So she lays out wide on the bed and closes her eyes. She feels this strange sensation and looks up. This crack head kid has a broom handle jammed up her twat and he's wringing it around to beat the band. She hollers, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" He replies, "Checking for squirrels." What gets me are the fuckheads that don't even bother to read the Diary but just start commenting about some shit that isn't even relevant and end up hijacking the whole fucking thing with their personal bullshit. These fucks just love to write in huge solid blocks of often impenetrable text chock-a-bloc full of run on sentences with no or poor punctuation and barely the semblance of grammer or speling in it. These Diary pirates often use foreign words to make themselves appear to have a certain jennie say qu-wah even when they don't speak the language! Plus the drop names as often as they drp letters. For example I was just talking to Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris the other day at the former Governor and Future Vice-President under Ted Cruz, Rick "OOPS" Perry grand jury indictment about this young man here in Texas. He was suspended from school because he threatened another classmate with The One Ring from the Lord of the Rings. The ring of course was some rplica promoting the recent Hobbit films. Anyways, the school decided that the Ring, being inscribed with symbols demonic and obviously satanic constituted a 'weapon' and so he was suspended. Turns out this is not the little miscreants FIRST suspension either. He was suspended earlier in the year for referring to another child as being "Black". I swear. Don't use the B Word. Or the A B C word either. In fact they should make it illegal to say anything but what the Good Lord intended and just communicate with grunts and pointing gestures. If it was good enough for Adam and Eve then it should be good enough for everybody. AND the boy was also suspended another time for bringing his book, "The Big Book of Knowledge" which happened to include an illustration of a pregnant woman which offended his teacher. I understand there was no mention of watermelon seeds anywhere in the text! I mean, how can the miracle of birth be explained? The tide goes in the tide goes out, never a miscommunication. You can't explain it! Melanie's Marvelous Measles is a book about how awesome it is to catch the measles. Children ages 4-10 are invited to learn that the measles is actually pretty fun, has no serious possible side-effects, and is something kids should look forward to getting. The book includes helpful medical advice, like that measles is easily avoided by drinking melon juice, and that vaccines weaken the human immune system, but getting measles strengthens it! But did you write for Rolling Stone? And you're STILL not notable enough for Wikip? Jesus, what does it take to get into that club anyways? The way I read it is You have no problem talking about the women and men that you fucked. The only time when you do have a problem is when you didn't fuck but you want people to maybe think you did so you'll say some dumb shit like, "A gentleman will never kiss and tell" or "I can neither confirm nor deny". So I reckon you never fucked. GO BACK OUTSIDE I wanna be a bird... so I can shit on rich fucks cars and ruin the paint. Humans are the most dangerous species If you don't agree then ask these guys. You watch too much Trek "Ah, a keyboard! How quaint." Matrix should feature in BOTH lists White Saviour with mostly all white wrecking crew. Magical Negro with pills. "You think that's air you're breathing now?" Don't you really mean that National Debt shouldn't even BE an issue? Like when they approve the Capitol Cafeteria menu. What DID he say exactly? First he is NOT stating his opinion. No. He is giving you an expression of his opinion. Whatever the fuck that is. Then he goes on to say that while it is more important what you think as a parent than what you think as a public official. Then adds, "And that is what we do. Well who is he talking about? "We" as a parent or because he is included in that group or We as a public official, another group of which he is a member? Continuing he states that parents should have some choice and the balance is for the government to decide. So just looking at that I'm not sure what he said. It seems the only relevant part was that last bit which I think he is saying that there has to be some kind of balance and it is up to the government to decide that. Personally I think both sides have some truth to them. I don't have a problem with vaxxing. Believe me, as a former sailor I know from vaccinations. But like shooting a kid full of vaccines I don't know if that is good or not. Especially after we have learned that not all medicines affect everyone equally. So why should a vaccine be good FOR EVERYBODY? You damn sure ain't handing out Vicodin to every kid that might get a headache. I think that parents and children should talk to their own doctor about it and have the doctor administer the vaccine just like any medicine. I wouldn't want the school nurse passing out antibiotics. Vaccination isn't BAD itself but it wouldn't hurt if we stepped back and maybe started doing things a little different. And if your only argument is BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN! then just go fuck yourself because you ain't got nothing relevant to say anyways. last thing we need is irrational voters LOL that's a joke right? Well, thing is though it IS an issue whether or not it should be. Previously religion was trumped by the good of all. But lately SCOTUS has decided that in some cases your religion trumps law. Then you have people who aren't altogether STUPID that are questioning the practice. But then you have Health Care people who don't even want to discuss it. They're like this is SCIENCE! And in amongst all that are real children who are getting diseases we "wiped out" years ago. And some are dying because of it. So, unfortunately, it already IS an issue. And it is in part a rights issue. Where does a parents right to make choices about their own childrens welfare end and the state's duty to protect the general welfare begin? As for whether politicians start to own one side or the other. Well, they're going to do that anyway because that is how they operate. can cause harm to many other people like uh, guns perhaps? I don't disagree with you at all. But that is a weak argument and actually works against individual liberty. so much anti-vax is just based on pure bullshit but that doesn't mean that it is all bullshit. I am pro Vax I guess, but even still I have some questions. Like how come people that HAD THE VACCINATION still contract the disease? Autism bullshit. How do you know? I never hear of any research study having been done other than the massive social experiment we've been conducting for years. All I hear is, "Vaccinations cause au..." "SHUT UP YOU IGNORANT FUCK! YOU ARE STUPID!!!1!! I HOPE YOUR KID DIES SCREAMING!!!!!!" In the end, why can't we make it like anti-biotics? You go to a doctor or clinic and talk to them about it and have the vax done. Lining kids up at school and shooting them full of bugs just doesn't seem very scientific to me. (I don't know that they stopped doing this. I just that's how I always had mine done in school and in the Navy.) And it NEVER HURTS to question the status quo. BUT IT's SCIENCE ALL HAIL! Ok yeah, but ain't that what we do in Science? Question assumptions? Either your kids stop being gay or we're going to send them to gay school so they don't spread the gay. I don't see an easy way around this problem. Nor do I Its not the bullet its the hole? MetaFilter I know because I vaccinated both of them Discussion Citing 'indisputable' science, in an interview President Obama urged parents to get their children vaccinated. However, potential presidential hopeful and current NJ governor Chris Christie, is less adamant than the president. In an interview in the UK, Christie said the government must "balance" public health interests with parental choice. This may be a beginning of polarization of vaccines among partisan lines in the US. Previous research has shown that Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to believe that childhood vaccines are risky. The link to Previous research is interesting. Both It's in my queue. I'll move it up. So what you do thar is get yourse'f some of them thar, what they call 'nails' and some of that thar stuff what is from the Home Depot. Wood I reckon. Nail that purty thang to the wall. Or if'n yo''re a redneck like myself then just grab ya a roll of Duck Tape and Git 'R' Done! I gots the onlyest HDTV in the park what has a oil gauge, tachometer and compass! Oh and fuzzy dice. Got to have the fuzzy dice. I think they have them purpose boxes down at the Walmart Supercenter between the 180" TVs and the Xboxes. Do you like to rub it up against your dick? Has GOOGLE Gone out of Business? Google the title of your movie and the word torrent. Hit Enter. Be amazed. I think they fixed it where it doesn't pop up in the suggestions. So if you like type "john wick" you get a big list of suggestions but as soon as you got torr then google goes like, 'I aint suggesting shit' What do I know? I don't pirate nothing. No. This is not a parrot, just a very colorful Chihuahua. transmission both linux and windows bitorrent client. VERY LIGHT. WYSIWYG Azuereus/Vuze. Java based client with tons of feAtures like streaming and shit. They should take care of anything they need when they install. Open ports and stuff. You may have to join a tracker and do a request. I didn't see any torrents with any seeds, even on the non-public sites. Just keep checking back. Use the magnet link rather than the download link. Sometimes you gotta byte the bullet and do the Amazon thing and buy that shit. No moderation No staff Good Luck Remember, you had it in your hand? You went over to put it up where you usually keep it but then that thing distracted you. You sat it down on that thing I really don't care for but you picked it out and all. It might have fallen down behind it. But no, I didn't mess with it this time and no I don't think I've seen it since you had it last. Sorry. I take this to mean you found the book. Wonderful. What, you ain't dead yet? All that whining this week . . . 'If them assholes cut mah disability check Im done! I'm fucking checking OUT. I mean it man! I ain't going to TAKE this FUCKING shit NO more! If they don't provide for me then I'm just going to sit down and not eat until I'm out of here! I have such a strong personality, I was able to control myself from using drugs in inappropriate places so I can total handle the pain of starving myself for a few weeks!' vicycle - that's that Elon Musk project to build a mountain bike to ride around on the Moon and Mars. You can't downvote in that sub perhaps. But if you break the rules or piss the right person off I bet you can still get panned, banned, and tossed in the shitcan. That is SO romantic! Now I want to bear the fruit in your looms! Trolling should be . . . Who fucking voted you Big Daddy King Kahuna Grand Troll Master? Trolling is not noble, it's guerilla warfare, trolls make the comfortable uncomfortable. Trolls are LEGION and trolls are NOT your personal army. Would you be comfortable with that madman out to get you? He's liable to mix up any flavor but Lemon on your ass! The officer told you "have a good day" And your response is, "Fuck the police, and fuck their little dogs too!" You continue with a sort of RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH! I do whatever I want! whining seventh grader schtick. How the FUCK did you manage to get a place in that MUD? If you got that much just grab a proper camping tent with some kind of heat. They're bound to make em and just camp out? Then you wont have these allergies and shit. Better than sleeping in the car but you can still move around when you want. Didn't you say something about rubbing your member up against her thigh because you could totally tell she was into you? Or was it that you started to aggressively relieve yourself while standing in front of her? Hard to remember . . . Looks like a dude Image is potato quality. Even cheap phones take better pics. IT'S A TRAP! Just keep silent, look thoughtful And nod your head periodically. See Proverbs 17:28 I saw an article posted earlier today About how a team of German scientists from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam have invented a real-life teleporter system that can scan in an object and "beam it" to another location. The system dubbed "Scotty" in homage to the Enterprise's much beleaguered chief engineer, differs from previous systems that merely copy physical object as its layer-by-layer deconstruction and encrypted transmission ensures that only one copy of the object exists at any one time, according to the scientists. Am I imagining? Or is he staring at a booger he's rolling between his finger and thumb? Let them create their own FED If our deficits don't matter to us then their deficits shouldn't matter to them either right? I would prefer that our government get completely out of the bail-out business. Instead require our government to invest in education and infrastructure. Parks, libraries, museums and recreation. Civic improvements, healthcare, and research. If you missed anything important it will be re-posted like a thousand times. I dunno, does anyone read the FP? It's like road kill. You walk up to it and it seems dead. Still. No movement. Then you turn it over with your foot and see all the maggots crawling around in the diary section.

But you don't need that much. And isn't salt a mineral? So how the fuck do you get organic salt? No, Organic Salt is not the solution. It's just a fucking marketing term. Like All Natural or Artisan. All things in moderation The last words my mother said to me were "I love you, I'll see you Thursday." That was nine years ago and I still miss her. Life is very hard without my mother.

What's the difference between a dirty bus stop and a lobster with breast implants? A. One's a crusty bus station the others a busty crustacean Heisenberg, Schrodinger and Ohm are in a car. They get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving and the cop asks him "Do you know how fast you were going?" "No, but I know exactly where I am" Heisenberg replies. The cop says "You were doing 55 in a 35." Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts "Great! Now I'm lost!" The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says "Do you know you have a dead cat back here?" "We do now, asshole!" shouts Schrodinger. The cop moves to arrest them. Ohm resists. A deer walks out of a gay bar and says, "Damn, I can't believe I just blew 30 bucks in there!" Do you go Commando sye? Are you truly free? Free-ballin'? When it is windy out do you whistle or hum? In The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim game The Player Character (You) supposedly was born with the soul of a dragon or some such so you are referred to as 'The Dragonborn'. It gives you the ability to steal the souls of the dragons you kill and use that power to learn Dragon Shouts which are like Super Powers. The very first 'shout' you learn is FUS. Which means Force and is the first part of the spell FUS RO DAH or Unrelenting Force, High Hrothgar is where the Greybeards live and the dudes that teach you the RO DAH part. Literally, you climb to High Hrothgar to learn what the FUS is about. After which you can go around screaming "FUS RO DAH!" at NPC's and send them flying backwards. Tell me, do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't. No problem, I don't judge. I've actually been tempted to fire it up and give Halo or Prince of Persia or [Assasin's Creed] another try. I would NOT recommend that based on, "But nothing I did with the controller had anything at all to do with what happened on the screen, and I kept getting killed..." Get you a good Bioware game like Dragon Age:Origins, Mass Effect, Star Wars Knights of the old Republic, even Jade Empire. These games feature combat but you can pause during and think about strategy. Look around. Size up the competition. Issue orders to your crew/party. Take your time without penalty. Plus, these are really solid games. Or go with a more open world sandbox. GTA 5 is really good for that kind of thing. Its a fantastic world to explore and although you can get killed it isn't a big deal. You die and wake up at the nearest hospital and carry on. The game is very forgiving. If a mission or activity is too hard you can skip it and progress in the game and forget about it or try again some time later without having to be stuck doing the same thing over and over just to progress. There are tons of stuff to do. Fly a plane, race, ride the freaking roller coaster if you want. And yes, you can have sex with a hooker and then kill her and take her money. IF that is your thing. The mentioned Skyrim or the previous game in the series, Oblivion is also good. You can do whatever in the hell you want. You want to run through and just kill everybody you see? No problem. If you don't like to fight yourself then you can study the magic art of Conjuration and summon Animals, the undead, huge Monsters made of Fire or Ice and let them fight for you. Then you can go back to Halo and that other stuff. Me, I can only play so long these days and I just get tired. So when I have the time to play I just do a mission or two or the equivalent and then I'm done. The first time I heard of Oglaf was on K5 Lil Debbie posted a link to it for GoT.

"At first, it seemed like a regular bowel movement... sperm whales are often seen defecating, especially while diving, so we didn't think much of it initially. It pointed itself down, but then, rather than continuing its dive, it remained at the surface, continuing the bowel movement for a startling length of time," explains Keri. "I couldn't see my hand when I held it in front of my face," says Keri. What a shitty story. Hi Rez Poopnado Poole is closed due to AIDS 4chan's Christopher "moot" Poole steps down.

I prefer my Pussy la carte and au jus Too right! And I don't want to be asking, "Ma'am, what is with the bacon bits?" "Oh those aren't bacon bits, those are scabs." You should have them bring you a salad instead of a pizza. More healthy. Doc changed all my heart meds today. Gave me a talking to and changed my diet also. Says I'm this close to having a stroke or coronary. No pizza for me. : ( No, Vegans are welcome here. I don't see how they would be very comfortable but they are welcome. The big metro areas of Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and of course AUSTIN are very modern and cosmopolitan. Complete with their own brand of Southern Hipsters. A vegan would not have difficulty in those areas. But if you get out in areas between, well. You're liable to get: Why sure Sugar, we got a Vegan plate. It's a side salad with lettuce, bits of carrot and a 'mater. I can scrape off the sliced boiled egg and bacon bits if'n you'd like. Would you care for a slice of pecan pie with that hon? BTW, speaking of Cosmopolitan According to them the HOT New Trend in Well-dressed Men's fashion is the 'exposed penis' Exposed Breasts, Daisy Dukes, and Stiletto Heels In the words of George Takei, "Oh MY" I'm not really comfortable with women wearing clothing that exposes their breasts. It is difficult enough for me now. Trying to be a gentleman and keeping eye contact rather than talking to a ladies chest. I went to Navy boot in Orlando. (the only co-ed bootcamp of the three available) My platoon scored high on several tests and drills and were awarded a day off post at a local water-park. I don't recall much, except sneaking drinks in one of the bars. (We weren't supposed to consume alcohol since we were still recruits-in-training) And the young lady in the crocheted bikini that left nothing whatsoever to the imagination. What is it the young men say? "SPROING!" "Stand DOWN Sailor!" Behold! The field in which I grow my fucks Lay thine eyes upon it and thou shalt see that it is barren. "what you see in people . . . is a reflection of what you hate the most in yourself." Some people do, not all. I have been with a number of people that taught me to: Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time. Some percentage of people are going to be asshats that is true. But others don't actually know any better because no one taught them. Perhaps when you see people doing this you should try to educate them on why it is not good to leave behind a messy campsite. If they're the type to enjoy being in the wilderness in the first place then they may well appreciate what you're trying to do. I expect the bannination . . .had to do with NOPE! It was all about the negro. Still is all about the negro. I know I know, whites, latinos, etc are also caught up in it. But it is ALL ABOUT THE NEGRO. Like the Holocaust. It involved many others, not just Jews. But despite that FACT. It was ALL ABOUT THE JEW. And US DRUG POLICY is all about the NEGRO. One thing about George Bush When the cost of oil dropped under his admin he would take that opportunity to refill our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. And would damn sure let people know he was doing it. I thought about this today when I realised I could actually purchase Reg Gasoline for about $1.65 per gal. Totally unreal! And it is finally low enough to start people sweating down in Houston, worried about lay-offs and closures. I notice a lot of people are filling up with the higher octane stuff because, hell, why not? It's still dirt cheap compared to what they are used to. Diesel seems to be staying high though. I guess we can't have grocery prices dropping along with gas. That might fuck the economy. In the midst of this I realized I haven't heard a peep from Obama's people about refilling the Strategic Reserves so I Googled it. Seems Obama hasn't done squat about refilling after draining it of 30 million barrels in 2011 and some smaller withdrawals beginning in 2012. Right now there is around 600 or so million barrels in the SPR. Far below its capacity. I don't understand why he isn't taking this opportunity to fill up America's Tank? Is it failed prediction? The oil we're pumping now has to be extracted from very very deep like in the gulf or from non-traditional sources. Plus this "new" oil doesn't have the same quality as what we used to get. Are you claiming that oil is infinite? That like Doritos we can eat all we want because they'll just make more? You think there will never come a time when it is virtually gone? When your precious wilderness is all fracked up, gouged out and wrung for every last drop will you still claim that 'Peak Oil' is a failed prediction? When Yosemite is crisscrossed with pipes and wells to enable us to extract all that thermal energy, when every wet land is drained, when every ocean is covered in a rainbow sheen will you still claim there is no such thing as an end to oil and gas? You may very well be correct. Although I live in Texas I'm not in any way associated with the oil industry. And even if what you say is true it doesn't mean that peak oil isn't a thing. In fact it may well be that peak oil is exactly what is driving these producers to see the end of their market on the horizon. Don't neglect the fact that a lot more things come from oil than just fuel. And electric vehicles need a source of electricity and a good portion is going to be generated by burning fossil fuel. Not to mention that although we are a fairly well developed nation, there are many many more countries that see things differently and those people are going to also want access to cheap oil to fund their own industry. The things I do know are that the Gulf of Mexico despite what BP says is still full of clouds of oil floating around and a lot of it because of the effects of dispersants is not on the surface but underwater. Wildlife is still coming in covered with black goo. This is something we'll be dealing with for centuries to come. And they are drilling more deep water wells out there. In addition we have had several small earthquakes in places that don't experience earthquakes. To some one on the West Coast they are nothing to be concerned about. 3.0 and 3.5 wouldn't even get you guys out of bed. But the fact is this isn't NORMAL. And the fracking is continuing. Why? If there is unlimited oil available why do they want to fuck up the wilderness areas and the wildlife refuges and the Gulf? Where will it end? Will the earth even be recognizable when they finally decide they don't need that oil anymore? How soon? And no matter what, I don't trust those whose income depends on oil to make decisions or influence decision makers on what is best for everyone over their own interests. Do you? Finally I STILL don't understand how any of this relates to the SPR and why Obama isn't restoring it to full capacity. Yo dawg, take a look: https://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2015/1/22/193136/148/17#17 Okay, I can concede that Peak Oil is not relevant. I still don't understand why the administration is not refilling the SPR. While oil is relatively inexpensive. It seems like a no-brainer to me but what do I know? This would be a good time. It's not so far down that refilling it would raise prices. But it might slow or steady the drop and maybe protect a few jobs in the meantime. Hey, but what do I know? If I had the answers I wouldn't have asked the question. So far, only MDC has attempted to answer but his theory is that Obama is trying to destroy the solar power industry. I don't agree with that because I figure there are more efficient ways to do it, if indeed that is what he is trying to accomplish, with less collateral damage. My best guess is that Obama and them just don't see it as very important. Or perhaps it isn't as simple as Obama telling some aide, "Hey, send a memo to DOE and tell 'em to start putting some oil back in America's tank." How do you refill between the rocks in your head? The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is an emergency fuel storage of oil maintained by the United States Department of Energy. It is the largest emergency supply in the world with the capacity to hold up to 727 million barrels (115,600,000 m3). OK but how is NOT refilling the SPR supposed to accomplish that? Refilling the SPR might slow the drop in prices It's not enough to raise them. And as trane points out, he's not going to be running again. Plus the fact that if prices continue to drop that will impact far more than just the solar energy industry. I'm sorry but I think I will have to reject your hypothesis as not being very well thought out. My own hypothesis is that he is just not aware or rather there are things he deems much more important at the moment. "Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity." Unfortunately, while it may not be a big deal now it could become so later. Also this might very well be a potential threat to our National Security. I absolutely agree! If they can't make profit selling it to us they will sell it somewhere that they do realize a profit. Again, I have to ask. Why isn't Obama taking advantage of the low cost himself and refilling the SPR to full capacity? It doesn't make sense to me. I'm no fan of G Bush. But he kept that sucker topped off every chance he got after 9-11. Oh well, we're just a bunch of numb nuts out here in the ass end of the net. We'll probably never know and if we did it wouldn't make much difference anyways. Thanks to all who contributed! Exxon gets $1 million penalty in Yellowstone spill. BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Federal officials have issued a $1 million penalty against Exxon Mobil Corp. for safety violations stemming from a 2011 pipeline rupture that spilled 63,000 gallons of crude into Montana's Yellowstone River. The pipeline break during flooding near Laurel left oil along an 85-mile stretch of the Yellowstone, killing fish and wildlife and prompting a months-long cleanup. Another pipeline break on the Yellowstone last week spilled an estimated 39,000 gallons of oil near Glendive. http://baytownsun.com/texas_ap/article_af70a495-37be-5eca-853a-b136a028db14.html ____________ Exxon Net Profit in the 4th Quarter alone was over $8 Billion. This fine is $1 million plus another $2 Million to settle private lawsuits related to the 2011 spill. You do the math Update: Last week we had 3 more spills Two that are going to effect the Missouri and one into the Colorado. One entire town has been ordered by the EPA to not drink their own tap water nor cook with it. These rivers will be even more vulnerable to spills along the Keystone XL pipeline. But as long as we get cheap gas and someone gets rich it's all good. Let them drink Bud Light! Thank you, I really didn't intend for you to go to the trouble. However, despite what trane says, while the information is fundamentally the same, seeing it visually like that is certainly striking. It looks much as I pictured in my mind except for the difference between the top 5 commenters vs EVERYONE else. WOW. Plus I just assumed when I mentioned it to you that Hairstyle would take up over a third to half of the chart! Overall I enjoyed it however, **POSSIBLE SPOILERS** It seemed to me that some of the special effects, like the water planet, were given more priority than the drama between the characters. I would have preferred less GEE-WHIZ and more time spent on Matt Damon's character. Especially his madness and how it developed. Also the romantic relationship between Amelia and Edmunds was just a throwaway line or two. I think the film would have been much stronger had it developed the characters more instead of trying to impress with, "LOOK AT THAT FUCKING WAVE!" and "LOOK AT THESE COOL ROBOTS" and this one is snarky! Even when they came up and Romilly is like yeah, I've been fucking waiting for you guys for YEARS. It's like oh sorry dude. Imagine being in that spacecraft by yourself waiting all that time for your comrades to return. But as far as the film goes it is just yeah that happened so lets go on now. Quite a bit too much of that, here is something that happened now let's move on to the next Shit Goes KABLOOEY scene. Attn Michael "Repeatible Hairstyle" Crawford Answers and Solutions The chief drain on my productivity the last few years is answering all of your objections whenever I try to ask you a simple question. Solution: Ignore objections. Ignore criticism of any type. Treat all such as trolls and simply don't bite. Only acknowledge those replies that actually answer your question in a manner which you deem to be acceptable. . . . how I could monetize my research into energy conservation. I would assume that this question has been solved and the solution is in fact pretty straight forward. It's something we do. In fact something we do fairly well actually. As an example let us look at the case of Vince Offer. Now Mr Offer was interested in monetizing his research into absorbent towels. He promotes a chamois towel manufactured in Germany because as "you know the Germans always make good stuff" that has been independently tested and holds up to ten times it's own weight in liquid. This product is known throughout the world as the ShamWow. Continuing in his success in the research of products that would save people time and money his research led him to develop a device known as the Slap Chop and the Graty. Noting his example it seems straightforward that you need to take measurements and create software that you can actually demonstrate uses less energy, electricity, whatever. In this way you could show a company that indeed compared to the software they were currently using your software uses less electricity and therefore if employed on that companies servers would save them so many dollars per year or whatever. Furthermore, using the example of Mr Offer among many others, we find that often while pursuing their research they took up numerous menial tasks in order to fund themselves on the way to making their big breakthrough. This is a time tested and honored tradition where people work in what we refer to as 'Their Day Jobs' while pursuing their true interests. Look at many of the founders of our largest corporations and you will see that the majority started in this way. Once you have created your energy-efficient software library then you can license it to others in a manner you deem fit. That is how it gets done. Now if this is not the answer for which you were looking, please take my earlier advice and simply do not respond to this diary. HTH and HAND! If I have misunderstood you and you simply want to receive pay while working on your research without having to actually do any real work or show progress then I would suggest that you immediately apply for work in the Government. I agree, unfortunately we don't have BI at the moment so we have to do what we can with what we do have. One day people will become enlightened when they realize that all the people who would normally buy their shit have been automated, down-sized and generally screwed out of the job market. When they face the fact that "Job Creators" don't. And that failing to invest in infrastructure and education while simultaneously spending on foreign adventures is not only going to have a negative affect on our economy but may indeed threaten our future national security. Regardless though, the question "how to monetize" has been asked and answered centuries ago. I'd blow it all on coca cola, etc You say it wouldn't benefit you. But then you go and list some things which you may not value as highly as other things but would still bring you pleasure and in so doing might increase your productivity. Not to mention that you would be contributing to the employment of several people and creating real demand. Those people would in turn be contributing to the employment of others and also creating real demand. Not like the government using subsidies to prop up industries that it decides are important. And while not everyone is going to use the BI to do research or whatever. It will enable a percentage to do things that they might not normally be in a position to accomplish. There may be new books written that wouldn't otherwise. New music created, new philosophies, and things that WE can't currently imagine because the people that can imagine them are too busy trying to get by. You don't appreciate people naysaying you yet you are quick to disparage BI for many of the same reasons. Let's get to work! And make my girlhole, again. I find it extremely unfortunate that I know exactly, without even clicking the link, what you are talking about reddit too much Is like saying, "You eat too much pizza". Our combat mission in Afghanistan is over. I expect that means we lost? NO. It means "Mission Accomplished. Let me explain in terms you might understand Afghanistan has Shipped.

Some Screener I saw fairly recently Don't even remember what movie it was but it was clearly water marked for "The Sole Use of Ellen Degeneres" Just looking at the numbers I think (BUT I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO IT) it would be visually striking if it were presented in a pie chart. It would be like this one HUGE slice and then a few decent slices and after that a ton of slivers. I concur. I haven't seen all of it. My wife loves it though and has watched it three or four times already. Incidentally, I recently watched The Imitation Game. That has to be the first film I've ever rage quit. I just couldn't continue watching it. It's not like I didn't know how it was going to turn out. On the other hand I know they took some artistic license. Even that Zuckerberg pic was better. They made him look like a Assburger too but they at least gave him some decent comeback lines. Cumberbatch was great in the role but the writing, pacing, etc etc. was just so fucking aggravating. Mr Torvalds asked me to relay his sentiments regarding your comment. Perhaps you could replace your Mac with one of these pretty lil mints. When it comes to Linux I'm very much partial to Debian stable with XFCE. Works fine, lasts long time, sailor proof. I just don't see though how anyone can be completely married to ANY single OS or platform in the 21st Century. Hate is just another word for extreme fear. when you say you HATE something you are really saying that you are AFRAID of it. Because as the wisest of the wise has said, "Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to HATE, HATE leads to Suffering." And that fear leads to the DARK SIDE. And the Dark Side of course is My Little Bronies. Don't be a brony bro. Don't think about all the things you fear, just be glad to be here. I survived mine. They told me it would have a profound affect on my life and perspectives but it really didn't. I've had other experiences that were much more profound and did indeed change my perspective on things. Did you know that former VP Dick Cheney has no heartbeat? He has no heart. In its place is a small turbine that constantly keeps his blood in motion. Instead of the steady beat of a pump he instead has a whirrrrrr. I admit I was somewhat toungue in cheek but there is some truth to my quip above. Hate IS actually just another form of fear. Just like steam is just another form of water. It is more appropriate then to say that you still fear Linux.

BE ADVISED, Do not mention Pork in your Publications [Washington Times] Oxford University Press has warned its authors not to mention pigs or pork in their books to avoid offending Muslims and Jews. The issue came to light during a Free Speech discussion on BBC Radio 4. Jim Naughtie said, "I've got a letter here that was sent out by OUP to an author doing something for young people. Among the things prohibited in the text that was commissioned by OUP was the following: Pigs plus sausages, or anything else which could be perceived as pork." OUP defended the move by saying it needs to make its books available to the "widest possible audience." "Many of the educational materials we publish in the U.K. are sold in more than 150 countries, and as such they need to consider a range of cultural differences and sensitivities," a spokesman told the Daily Mail. "Our editorial guidelines are intended to help ensure that the resources that we produce can be disseminated to the widest possible audience." In a statement later, the company said its commitment to "academic and educational excellence" is "absolute," LOL, I was thinking this would be perfect UF post When I was Copywrighting and Pasta-ing it up. kickass works for me Go Cocaine, You'll lose weight.

Independent and concurrent investigations by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, Pierce County Prosecutor's Office, and the Tacoma Police Department regarding the shooting death of Michael David Crawford have been completed. Crawford died from multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by Lakewood Police Officers Ryan Moody and Jon Waller. Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist concluded the death was justifiable homicide. "Mr. Crawford was in a stolen car, wearing body armor, and was packing a loaded handgun. Judging from these circumstances, the officers interrupted a crime about to happen," said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. "Mr. Crawford fled from police and fired at them, leaving officers no choice but to return fire. The officers' actions saved their lives and their intervention likely prevented another violent crime from happening." That sounds like a good old-fashioned action movie right there. Ex-Hitman with Dead Wife. Bad guys steal his car AND kill his dog. Fuck yeah, man, thanks for the review I'll be watching it. 'I Dated Jason Bourne's Sister' NASCAR driver Kurt 'The Outlaw' Busch (#41) testified yesterday that his ex-gf is a highly trained assassin dispatched on covert missions around the world. This is because his ex, Patricia Driscoll is seeking a no contact order which Busch claims is an attempt to discredit him and destroy his career. He recounted one time when the couple was in El Paso, Texas. He said Driscoll left in camouflage gear only to return later wearing a trench coat over an evening gown covered with blood. Busch said Driscoll told him she was a mercenary who killed people for a living and had shown him pictures of bodies with gunshot wounds. Driscoll says, "These statements made about me being a trained assassin, hired killer, are ludicrous and without basis . . . Not even Rusty Hardin (Busch's attorney) believes it. I find it interesting that some of the outlandish claims come straight from a fictional movie script I've been working on for eight years," Busch testified that he decided to end his relationship with Driscoll after a race last fall because she was monopolizing his schedule and he needed to focus on racing. Driscoll said Busch assaulted her in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway a week later, grabbing her by the throat and slamming her head into a wall three times. Busch and his attorneys have denied those allegations. Busch says that he repeatedly told Driscoll to leave after she showed up unannounced at his motorhome, finally cupping her cheeks in his hands, looking her in the eye and telling her she had to go. He says that her head may have tapped the wall as he was doing that. This is what happens when you only ever make left turns. You wanna play Six Degrees of Michael Crawford?

I was in San Antonio and I was in my 1957 GMC pick up and I passed the Shamrock station and it said 0.75 and I nearly wrecked the truck. I swore if gas ever hit $1 gal there would be riots in the streets. I was pretty naive back then. As for the tagline on the video, fuck if I know what that means. I just linked to it because there really isn't anything in this diary and I thought some of you guys might find the video somewhat amusing. I'm sure at least one of you mother fuckers jacked off to it while thinking about how your mom used to knit. No, it was tricked out yeah, but not hippy style 95 GMC Vandura 2500 Conversion. White with teal stripes. Teal and walnut interior. Running boards, little ladder in the back to the luggage rack on top. Spare tire on the rear door. Two big tinted picture windows on the drivers side and a long tinted window on the passenger side. Four captain chairs. Bench in the back folds out to a bed. Mirror on the ceiling with the same lighting like in a theater. Had a 40 gal tank. 351cid automatic w/overdrive. It had legs. 'Murica, FUCK YEAH! Can't be too braggy though. It's only like seventy-five cents in Kuwait. And about a nickle per gallon in Venezuela. I saw that somewhere the other day. Course I don't reckon they got anywhere to go really so who gives a shit. Damn, looked it up and fucking Del has to pay like $8.00 gal. Fuck that shit. No wonder them slants like their bikes so fucking much Fuck the French But if you want to start calling French Toast "Charlie Hebdo Toast" or maybe Paris Hilton "Charlie Hilton". I'm down. You realize that Slashdot is now just a front for the Job Board Dice. So that means it is run by The Devil from Hell Itself. That is right, BORKERS! Mike dodged a bullet there that is for sure! THE MIND SIMPLY REELS I don't know why it does that. It just starts reeling all of the sudden and usually I have to kick it a few times to make it stop. While I expect you'd find lots of loose change You would be disappointed. Before furniture, purses, etc. etc are put out for display there is someone that goes through that. They already have all the loose change. And believe me they are thorough. If you're working in a thrift store 'couch money' is like getting a tip. Even if it isn't much it adds up. I haven't actually pursued it Are you on drugs again? It's not a bad idea. recently some folks at an upholstery shop uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars placed in an old couch. Fortunately they were able to return it to the rightful owner. An elderly lady that did not trust banks to safeguard her money. While she was away her child had decided to 'get rid of that filthy old couch' and get her a nice new couch. He had no clue that he was throwing out a part of his inheritance! No i think he is just talking about the random crap that accumulates in a couch. You probably don't realize it because you hang out with meth heads and crack whores so you probably find old glass pipes and sharps and used rigs and old condoms down in YOUR couch. But people that have change in their pocket the change will roll out into the cushions. I know the feeling You think one of them oxy's might have fell into the couch maybe? Here is a good idea I had an elderly friend. His sole source of income besides Social Security and retirement was a street sweeper. He loved that thing because even though he was old and crippled he could still operate a business and feel like a productive member of society. Of course the operating cost ate him up and he found it difficult to pay anyone to help him. Since he was a family friend and he only ever worked part time in the evenings I would go out with him and run the blower and go around picking up trash on the grassy parts of lots. I found that in weather like the US is having and especially during the holidays there is a lot of cash to be found in the grass berms around shopping center parking lots. The wind blows you see and people get out to their cars, it is cold, nasty, they're in a hurry, their minds on other things. They'll go and pull keys out of their pockets or purses and often loose bills get pulled out also. The wind blows it and even if they notice most are unlikely to go chasing it. You can often find a dollar, maybe five. Sometimes it is even a 20! All caught up in the grass or a fence. Sadly the old man passed away some years ago. Still sometimes when I park I quickly glance over the grass their by the curb. I have often been rewarded with a ten dollar bill! It's not much in the scheme of things but it is nice finding that little bit of cash. Getting a little gift for someone or maybe a soda or something. AFAIK He still does. He works in the gem district. I don't think he uses a metal detector. Just goes and digs dirt out between the sidewalk cracks, in the street and such. He doesn't collect much at once but over time it accumulates. Fuck it, let's see; First return in Google. fortunately I don't let ethics stand in my way And if there is a conflict of interests then my interests trump the other guys. As for if you have to ask an attorney . . . Then it is. All I can say is Better Call Saul! I played with the idea of 'medieval synth' that I had used with the previous year's "Game Of Thrones" cover. The result was an album that combined my progressive and pop leanings, or 'fantasynth', as Telefuture called it! Interesting "Seems like pretty good music to me, . . ." That is all that matters. Don't forget our very own fuzzfrogs Hypersphere - About Crawford naturally. The FuzzFrog Channel This is about as metal as I get. Prepping Lots of work getting the basement Apocalypse ready. REPUBLICANS EXPOSE OBAMA 'S College Plan as Plot to Make People Smarter. "You take low-information voters and give them information, and pretty soon they're Democrats", said Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) Texas GOP:Stop teaching Critical Thinking Skills We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student's fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority. http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2012/aug/11/gail-collins/gail-collins -says-texas-gop-platform-calls-schools/ My go to screen Hobbit is the Rankin Bass cartoon It is a part of my Christmas tradition and something I've watched every year since it was first released. AFAIC it is and shall always be the definitive Screen Hobbit. Damn, thought this was a joke It started off promising, "A local Jazz musician needed a liver transplant . . . Pass the Sun Lotion! What people don't understand ORIGINALLY the Earth did not have a nicely balanced Oxygen Nitrogen atmosphere. And since In The Beginning GOD Created The Heavens and the Earth, it follows that THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF GOD OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. So it isn't a bad thing! The Oil Interests and Government along with many countries--Beijing is really going Above and Beyond--are just trying to return the planet to the condition in which it was originally designed. THAT'S CONSERVATION! It could be a good way to reduce the surplus population. You know it's not sustainable. We would come out of it stronger with a lot of useless people removed. Meaning what exactly? If they're dead then they are pretty useless by definition. Unless you're talking about using them as fuel. I think that is pretty inefficient. I think the best thing is turn them into fertilizer. Common Core Set your screen to turn off Set your music player to Soma.FM. Choose Drone Zone or Groove Salad. They do have ads. I run AdBlock in my laptop browser and find that it blocks ads on Pandora. There is a genre station called Chill/Downtempo which is also good for relaxing, mostly instrumental ambient music to fall asleep by. On youTube there are hours long loops of the background sounds of certain starships from movies and TV. I don't care for it much but it might be good. Rachel Maddow podcasts also put me to sleep. That is not a dig at Ms Maddow. I think she is very good at what she does but her voice is low-key and pleasant. When her show is stripped of ads and just has her talking politics I'm out in 15min. I sleep like a rock. Why do people say, "I slept like a baby" to indicate a GOOD night sleep? Anyone with any baby experience knows that babies have a terrible time going to sleep. They wake up covered in piss and shit several times during the night and if not covered in piss and shit are usually ravenously hungry. Baby sleep has to be the worst kind of sleep ever. Don't know much about Macs In Win7 I set the screen shutoff by clicking on the battery icon in the system tray. I'm sure the Mac has something similar, being a superior OS to Windows and all. Bullshit It was called the chronometer The bullshit was that "Hayes was not originally in the modem business." They were always in the modem business. They tried to do other stuff too but the were first and foremost in the modem business. You forget that this ain't Starbucks and we ain't all easily impressed young baristas. Some of us are from back in the day also. Buckaroo. Name some of the "other gadgets" that stacked nicely. I'm not going to waste any more time with your delusional bullshit. Next you'll be telling me that the Winchester drive got its name from the lever action on the read write arm. "coming soon" Like Warp Life and Ogg Frog Yeah, well thanks for clearing that all up. Didn't Michael Crawford buy the Elephant Man's Boner or something? If Charles Manson can get a girlfriend then there is still hope for you. cheap oil is a temporary thing So, are you investing in storage tanks? Buy up a bunch of cheap oil now to sell later at a profit? Is anyone? What do they know that you don't? 'The singularity isn't coming. We are the singularity.' I like that and I definitely agree. I could see it happening, I just didn't quite understand what it was I was seeing. Still Hung Over Solution "Yo homes, smell you later" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there! To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air. ``Second star to the right and straight on till morning." See you next year! at 6:30 this morning, As it happens I was making a breakfast of fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, toasted rolls, a bit of cheese and a hot cup of black tea. It was delicious. Problem? Are we so certain that we really want these people to breed? I have nothing to add. I'm only commenting to say that I enjoy these kinds of diaries very much. I did a lot of reading of the linked pages and learned a few things. As for squatting, isn't some of the Salton Sea toxic? I know it has a rich history but I've only really heard bits and pieces of the story. Can I learn to handle rain, wind, snow? I don't see why not. There have been people, AmerInd, Europeans, Mexicans, etc. living in and around those parts for years. I'm sure if you set your mind to it you could learn to live out in the wilderness full time. Just coming in for necessities. I hear the next James Bond is going to be a Black Guy. Are Fools ready for that? He was standing his ground MAWMAW I WANTDA FROOTY PEBBELS! No, you can't have the Fruity Pebbles. You get the Cheerios. BUT MAWMAW I WANTDA FROOTY PEBBELS! I said NO. BITCH! IMMA POPA CAP UPIN YO ASS! Now don't you speak to me lik . . . BAM! GANGSTA4LYFE! BUT BUT THEY WERE IN *WALMART* Save Money, Live Better - WALMART* That is one rough Walmart People that know me know I fully support the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. However, I do not support the right to be a complete idiot. If the woman had her weapon in such a state that her toddler could remove it from her purse and shoot her then that is all on her. Not on the fact that she had a gun. Anyone that stupid was destined to have a Darwin event occur sooner or later. Gun safety used to be taught in Elementary as part of PE. I say used to because I don't really know if they still do it or not. Yeah, when I was growing up they adamantly refused to teach sex ed even as an elective but gun safety was mandatory. We used Daisy BB Guns. We learned different shooting positions, prone, kneeling and standing. How to use the sights. Proper breathing. How to aim with both eyes open, etc. Then we would watch slides about how to carry, cross fences safely, that kind of thing. They didn't start teaching sex ed until I reached Jr High and that was only for girls at first. Later on they started having it for the boys. The coach taught it. The only thing I can remember from sex ed is the coach telling us that nutritionally speaking, there was no difference between the breakfast cereal and the box it came in. He also was convinced that if you used a conditioner in your hair then you would end up becoming gay. Speaking of education and how I go on all the time about this being a different world and all. You know, when I was going to school there weren't any black kids allowed. I can well remember the first black kids I ever saw in class. It wasn't that long ago in the scheme of things. People these days seem to think all that stuff happened way back in the past. But we have actually come a very long way in a very short time. There are safe ways to conceal carry and there are stupid ones. Obviously this bitch was stupid. 9yr old chicks with Uzi's are AWESOME Khomeini is not a White Guy He is a sand Nigger. And yeah, he IS really fucking racist. And a homophobe as well. And a sexist on top of that. But I can see how you would like him because as Fools go, he's pretty much up in the top ten Fools of the World. I'm from the older generation That often shows their disdain for these foreigners by deliberately spelling their name wrong. Plus I probably operate under the impression that Khomeini is more of a title than a name. Like Kim. For a long time I just assumed that the Supreme Leader of Korea was Kim something. As in you know, Kim translates to King or whatever. I don't know. I'm an American so willful ignorance is a point of pride. ; ) Thanks for setting me straight. Used to drive a 69 El Camino Tan with Coffin Rails. It originally came with a 396cid engine but the block got cracked. Replaced it with a 400cid Turbo-Fire sporting a Rochester Quadrajet. Gas was about 50-60 cents a gallon. It had air shocks and positraction and I could lay a scratch going uphill as long as you care to hold the throttle. My friends called it the Hell Camino. HA HA LOL WHAT A FOOL next you'll be telling me Jesus was a Jew! The Fine Article had nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Much like Joel Olsteen has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. Actually what is amazing to me is that the Supreme Leader is a twitterer. Would Muammad ibn Abd Allh ibn Abd al-Mualib ibn Hshim have a Linked In account? The Mind Simply Reels Aw Hell it ain't that bad Imagine if YAHOO had become the generic web search engine instead of Google. Even saying Google It sounds weird until you get used to it. BLOG was very bad I thought WEBLOG even worse and then they turned it into a verb! To Blog. In "The Cloud" I thought was hilarious when it became a thing. That was because we used it in my CS classes. But over time one gets used to it. Language evolves and a man either evolves or gets left behind. Life is too short to get upset over things like that. There are much bigger battles to be fought like SYSTEMD VS INIT! Just don't buy them a PS4 Warm & Fed with a stainless steel toilet and a nice soft bunk bed. Govt issue toilet paper and a crayon nub, to write out his manifesto. Life is pretty good. I now think that his "Going to be arrested soon" is all in his mind. Thanks to New Bottle Old Wine. The posted HiRez seem to explain his "crime". Probably fucking over his Mother again. Biggest Threat to American Jobs Lazy Americans I sleep safer at night knowing you're on the job there Superman. We need to elect you Supreme World Overlord. <strike>Lurk</strike> DRINK MOAR! What, do you expect to live forever? Now you worry bout your liver? Where was that concern when you picked up that first drink? Besides I think they can grow spares these days on monkeys or some shit. I wouldn't worry. You're not going to get any kind of trade-in value on that carcass anyways. If you get a Nook There is a Kindle App that works really well for your Kindle Store books and it also supports ePub for your ArrrrMatey Sideloaded Books. You can also add storage to the Nook in the form of SDCards. Some nooks can be loaded with Cyanogenmod to make them full featured Android tablets. It is very easy to do. Cons; it is a bit underpowered for a tablet. And only 1GB of RAM. There is some kind of problem with TRIM that causes it to lag after a bit. You have to shut down and restart. The Home Shelf sucks and takes up most of the screen. Even when turned off you can't place apps in the space it would occupy. It's not updated very often to the latest Droid OS. Biggest con is the charging cable. It looks like a iPad charger but wired different. The USB part will only charge if it is inserted into a B&N wall Wart. It works fine for transferring files on off the computer. Pros; It runs most apps from the App Store. The built in reader is great. The Kindle app is AWESOME. It will read PDF's mobi and the proprietary stuff. You can buy Kindle books and they appear in your Library, You can move them back and forth from the Cloud. You can email yourself most books and it will convert them to Kindle and add them to your library. Screen is sharp and clear. Good Sound with headphones or good buds. I watch Netflix and pirate movies on it and it's awesome. Really good battery life. Rugged. It's been dropped a time or two with no damage. Nook HD+ Also it goes without saying you WILL want calibre ebook manager on your computer. No matter which reader you desire. That thing is definitely Best of Breed software. http://calibre-ebook.com/ speaking f libraries I forgot that I have an app that I put in my library card information and it let's me check out ebooks from the local library. It has a similar system to the regular library where if the book isn't in stock they can do a hold or interlibrary loan. I understand that is all scarcity stuff held over but it makes publishers feel safer so what do I care it is free. The down side is you have to get this adobe drm software installed on a computer in order to validate or whatever. Also, no late fees. When your checkout time runs up if you haven't renewed the book is removed from your reading queue the next time you log in. You know, I'm older than you are but you are more stuck in the mud than my own father. Also, I rent software all the time. I really don't think you live in the real world anymore but some delusional fantasy world you have concocted. There is a store not 5 blocks from here that has tons of software to rent. They even give a discount for weekend rental. There is a company online that has tv ads where they specifically rent software. You don't know what you're talking about. That's just it. You don't even bother to check. You got the wisdom of the ages right in the palm of your hand but you still pull half-remembered shit out of your ass. There is a law. And it was signed by G. Bush. And it is enforced. But it prohibits you from renting or borrowing software that you then make a profit from unless you have permission from the copyright holder of the software. Libraries are exempt from this law as long as the software they loan is used for non-profit purposes. What does GameFLY do? Rent Software. Yeah, I know you prefer paper and that is perfectly OK. My (redacted) who happens to be a pastor and I have arguments (friendly) over which is best. Paper or ebooks. He can't stand the things. At all. Has no use for them whatsoever. Myself I LOVE books. I love the feel, the smell, that je ne sais quoi one gets standing in a REAL library with books to the ceiling some older than the building itself. Yeah, I really like books. But that doesn't mean I have to choose either. I dont want to carry the entire New York Times Best Seller List along with my manuals and guides and references and all the manga, NatGeo's and other Magazines with me in a god damn duffel bag either. If I can keep all that handy and stored away then fuck yeah I'm going to do it. But that is the rub right there. It's like people that don't watch television. See I can like them both. But you guys act like you're somehow better because you don't contaminate yourself with that ebook stuff. Just because I like Coke doesn't mean I can't have a Pepsi. Whatever is best for the job. I don't read in the tub like I used to but I never worried about taking a paperback into the tub with me and soaking and reading. I get a little nervous taking my ereader in the tub. My ereader gets great battery life but even still, I never had to charge up a Michael Crichton yarn. That fucker was juiced up and ready whenever I was. I just had to open the cover and boom there it is. And I never had to fiddle with backlighting in bright sunlight either. Hell the brighter the sun the clearer my paper book became. But then I can't search through my book book. I can't play music on it, I have to get a separate device. I for sure can't stream movies. Or make phone calls or even surf the net looking up a word or idea on my paperbook. I just don't think you are aware at all. Thats why people make fun of you all the time because you're just not very aware even of your own situation and it's funny. I think you're a good sport for doing that. The funniest thing is that you come out dropping this KNOWLEDGE like you think it is something new and special. And you act like the stuff you learned in HS is still relevant. But it isn't. And you are not. The whole landscape has changed. You talk about an ereader that "phones home" in a world where the NSA sucks up ALL YOUR DATA. Even Apple got caught out having their phone take pictures and send that and GPS data back to Apple periodically. Reading a paperback is not going to protect you. The funny thing is. Hiding in that kind of world is not going to help anyone. The only answer is complete transparency. Secrets can not help you in this new age. Everybody has to get on the plane naked. That is the only way to make the one guy wearing a hat stand out. Get Naked Oh and here's some more ammo for you about paper vs ebooks. BBC-News Doctors Warn E-Books damage sleep and health http://www.bbc.com/news/health-30574260 Get your smug on. I don't follow your argument Care to elucidate? I never claimed that I would ship WarpLife it is just for serious Life Researchers which is me. I am the only serious Life Researcher there is. Also I do not consider coding as my work. My work is as a writer. That is my job. And as I have so aptly demonstrated to you lot I ship all the time here on kuro5hin.org. Unfortunately I do not make any money off of my writing because the people I am trying to reach and help are those who rarely have access to any money whatsoever. If it weren't for me stopping and giving these poor unfortunates my last ten dollars or taking them out to eat they would surely starve. Therefore I cannot charge for my main 'product' I hope one day to make up the loss on volume alone. In the meantime I code in order to pay the bills. However since coding is really just my hobby and not my true calling I only ever code when I feel like it. In addition, I do not yet have the newest iPhone upon which to test my app nor do I have the money to purchase an Apple Dev ID. I tried to purchase one from one of you fine people but all you could manage was to complain and direct me to craigslist. I'm not sure if you are aware but craigslist is home to serial killers and due to my principles I refuse to do business with a company that engages in that practice, My mentor, Richard Feynman who recognized my genius early on, used to tell me, "Son, I could eat a peach all day." You may not know this but the very finest peaches are grown in the State of Georgia. I learned this from my father, he was in the Navy you see. During the civil war with Russia peaches were used in place of grenades. It only takes a single peach and the application of whipped cream mixed ina ketchup packet and any flavor of Kool-aid except Lemon to create a peach grenade. I related this story to a barista in the Greek quarter once upon a time. She gave me a smile and so I knew she was craving the Crawcock. I smiled back and in my very best Flat-Affect monotone voice I could manage I asked, "What time do you get off?" Well naturally she acted shy and coquettish but I was not about to be put off. I have extensive experience in Psychoanalysis from that one time a psychiatrist visited my elementary school and gave a talk. I could tell that she was very very much into me. So I continued speaking to her like I was Lurch from the Adams Family, "I'm homeless you know, but I have a place nearby that is mostly dry. I have a potato and some fish sauce and ramen noodles. I could whip up a nice midnite snack. We can entertain ourselves reading my newest essay on how I intend to sue every borker in the State of California and make a million bajillion bucks. Unless the mafia finds out then I may have to leave town in a hurry." "Well, I'm kind of busy you understand." 'YES!' I thought, that was an emphatic YES! "So can I get your number? What time would be a good time to pick you up?" "Listen uh, Why don't I call you?" "Well you could but I dropped my iPhone in the bus station toilet while I was washing up. I was able to retrieve it but it has been acting flaky ever since. Those kids at Apple can't code or build anything anymore. Back when I was CTO of Apple we knew how to get the job done!" "Okay my number is (503) 823-4800." "That sounds familiar, have we dated before?" "No, Absolutely not." "Maybe in a past life then? Anyways if you don't mind I'm a bit short at the moment so please bring some Magnum condoms. Regular Magnums are fine. I don't quite need the XL's" "--" "Ah, she is smitten" I would write more but I am getting very tired. I have spent all day you see, coming up with the most amazing plan that will no doubt garner me fame, fortune and a Noble Prize. I can't tell you about it right now as I don't want the idea stolen by the IRS and CIA. Yet I am standing here in this Starbucks literally pissing myself laughing. Til next time, nighty nite and don't let the code bugs bite! Especially those nasty little code bugs like that live in my jacket. Those fuckers really make you itch. Bathe And this Noble Nobel guy Why did he create the prize Sheldon Cooper? I apologize for transposing the e and l but I was not fortunate enough to have a copy editor as a neighbor. I think in another reply I used their instead of there. Mia culpa Superman. First thing is get a good team together It's not so much fun playing all on your own. Then shoot everything that moves. Don't stand still, always be moving and shooting. If you have a vehicle run over shit. And have a gunner shoot shit. Shoot it all. Weapons are everywhere. There are chests. Open all of them and collect ammo. At some places you will find vending machines. Get upgrades. Try out your weapons. Look for ones that have modifiers. There are trash piles. Shoot for loot. Don't be sentimental. If a better gun comes along just ditch your sad ass one. Buy grenades. Especially get your specials for whatever class you are. If you have a team and you come across a sweet upgrade that you can't use save it and gift it to them. Most of the best weapons I have gotten from my buddies. If you're getting killed ALOT then you aren't strong enough. Do a little grinding on smaller creatures. Kill them all. Leave come back and kill them again. Get some XP and levels and you'll be a deathdealing machine before long. I haven't really played in a good while. Everyone is scattered to the winds. I have been going back and forth from GTA5 and DragonAge. That's plenty enough gaming for me at the moment. Quikest way is Google "I need to see pics of nekkid wimmin" Boom There It Is. Oddly, back in the 50's 60's and 70's. When the subject of 'whatever will we be doing in the future?' Not too many imagined a high speed 24 hr high definition pornucopia instantly delivered. Oh man, you got my entire teenage bookshelf right there. Well except for Hubbard. I didn't read Hubbard. Substitute Harlan Ellison for Hubbard. Add a Bit of Poul Anderson, PK Dick and Thomas Disch. Just say Uncle is a time worn expression It means, "You win, I give up!" It's also said, "Cry Uncle". It's usually when you have older siblings or relatives that are hazing you in some way. It's not like being bullied by randoms. The antagonist puts the victim in an uncomfortable position. Then proceeds to give nuggies, titty-twisters, or some other mild form of torture. When you can't take anymore you are supposed to say, "UNCLE!" You know like a safe word only hopefully you're not being sexed. This is just a sign of submission to your antagonizer, in the same way like "Tapping out" in a wrestling match. probably its hippies usufructing When no one kicked them out they just decided to take it over. They don't want a lot of undesirables parking and fucking up their little piece of heaven. Just like you don't want other people around when you find you a nice little spot. That's how all you nature boys think. You want it all to yourself because other people would just fuck it up. Then you get pissed when they turn around and treat you the same way. Fuck 'em Golden Rule He that hath the Gold maketh the rule. In Texas you can get shot dead for that The shooter will not be charged. It has nothing to do with standing ground. If property is posted then you stay off of it unless you get the owners permission. It's the right thing to do and respectful. What you did is trespass and commit vandalism. You with your principles. I am shocked! I guess you have principles right up until they aren't convenient anymore. You're no different from a borker or a pimp. DUDE, IF HE MAKES A MOVIE ABOUT YOU THEN YOU WILL BECOME 'NOTABLE'. THEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR WIKIP PAGE.

Merry Christmas! 0 o O o 0 But they DON'T believe he is the son of god Or that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. So, they're all a GOING TA' HELL!!! YEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWW! We've had one of those It was actually fucking good pizza. You could go inside but there weren't tables or anything. They just served take-out but it was all right there in front of you. Now it is gone replaced by a YMCA thing that took over the whole strip mall it was in. So we have a PizzaHut Wing thing going on on the southside. I don't know if they're any good I never been in there. Another regular Pizza Hut opened out by where all the game stores and shoe stores are. It's ok. There is a Domino's that I have heard is good. And we have a Papa John's by the school and I hear that is good but I'm just not going to eat it. We had a Mazzios a long time ago and it was really awesome but one of those churchs that preach Jesus loves the Rich bought out the property. That was a real blow. Then we had CiCi's and I've been to different ones they're not all the same and this one was really good and the manager would make anything she had on hand into a pizza if you asked for it. Like they had gummi bears for the desert bar and some college kid comes in and wants a gummi bear pizza. No fucking problem, BAM you get a piping hot slurry of melted gummi and cheese and what the fuck. It was AWESOME it was a cool place to hang out as well as having good pizza, man they had these mexicans working there would make an enchilada pizza with queso that was off the damn chain. BUT then somebody broke in one night and trashed some shit fucked up the ovens or something anyways they never reopened here. They opened a shop down the interstate, same manager even but that place is not like this one and it's all tied down and corporate now. There is a DoubleDave's but I don't know what that is like and there was a Gatti's for awhile but they had these big screen TVs with the Disney movies and an arcade parlor so it was like some ghetto Chuck E Cheese and only parents with small kids would ever go there. Oh yeah and Little Ceasars. Fuck with thier $5 sat in a hotbox all day special. GAWD! That's weird, I never realized how seldom we go out for pizza these days. I mean we have pizza from time to time but its gone from MAN I'M HUNGRY FOR SOME GOD DAMN PIZZA to shit, there ain't nothing in the house lets get pizza. And I guess I don't miss it so much. I mean we have plenty of fucking fine ass Mexican food places and BB-Q Joints. I tell you what this town is piss poor in and that is good or hell even half decent sea food. Yeah we got catfish running out of our ears but no good seafood places. All I can tell you is that sysadmins line is straight up correct no matter which way you turn it. Is that supposed to be the joke? Although TBPH the image "I" have of the System Administrator is more like that of 'Scotty' and his 'bairns' rather than NEO. Fucking Kirk, "Scotty! Give me moar bandwidth/storage space/cpu cycles!" "I'm givin' ye all she's got Capt! I warned ye bout this in the last budget cycle! Ye said it was more important to install those flat screen monitors in the visitor lobby!" "I NEED MOAR!" And don't get me started on fucking Picard! "Reroute power from all nonessential servers to the structural integrity field and inertial anti-malware dampers on my iPad email!" 'Aye, I'll be gettin right on that!' "MAKE IT SO!!!!" AW GO SCREW THE LOT OF YE Pack up, leave your cell, leave your 'top get some cash and walk away. It's just for a few days. By Monday you can ring someone up. If they ask what happened fucking amnesia. I was just walking along and wham I felt something and the next thing I know I woke up over here and it's freakin Monday. Yeah, they'll do some tests and whatever and kinda eye you suspiciously for a week or so, but you got that good NHS so it won't be expensive. After awhile it will just be an interesting little story. Crazy old Aunt Holly and all. Or just get fucking drunk put your head down and embrace the madness that is Christmas. And just remember no matter what they'll still be bitchin about it twenty fucking years from now. Even more than the people of Spain! All of that about education and then you want to send me to a site whose sole purpose is to encourage me not to create but rather rip off and take advantage of those who have created. So delicious. YEA SYE TOTALLY NAiLED IT NAILED TO THE WALL. WATCH THIS SPACE FUTURE OF FILM MARKETING GOING FORWARD HABEEB IT! The name, Horney. Quite Freudian. Of course I thought Freud had long ago been discredited as some kind of cocaine-fueled father-hater that wanted to desperately make love to his mother or something? Also, why do you people insist on continuing to write like savages and barbarians with pictographs rather than acquiring true civilization and using a proper alphabet? It has been proven that even barbarians such as yourself can learn to speak and write properly. Why the mighty Sequoyah himself (the great tree was named after him not vice-versa) was able to invent and teach his fellow Cherokee peoples their own language whereupon their literacy rate exceeded that of the Anglo-Europeans around them. Perhaps if you folks would start to use a decent alphabet you wouldn't spend all your time building cheap ass plastic shit for our dumb ass. Elimination of HUBRIS! HAH!

They would rather unwind by lighting up a king-sized bone during down time than get hooked on tar and nicotine like servicemen in the West.

In the earlier confrontation he was heard to enquire, "Yes, excuse me but I was wondering if you chaps might assist me in committing suicide-by-cop?" To which the Canadians officers replied, "Sorry, we're on lunch break here at the Mac Donalds. If you need some cop suicide I suggest you head down to the border and let let the Americans help you. They're pretty good for that sort of thing!" So, the man told them "Thank you officers, I hope you have a wonderful day eh?" Whereupon he returned to his vehicle and headed for the border crossing where the Americans were more than ready to assist him in his quest. BREAKING NEWS!

Ignorant MF Managers and Middle men are being thrown out on the street as more and more individuals take up challenges driving our society forward. Governments around the world have thrown wide the gates of the Internet so that all citizens may freely read whatever they choose, write whatever they wish, learn, teach and experience. Those same governments have outlawed banks and financial institutions that were mean and selfish and greedy hoarding wealth for themselves and making everything artificially scarce. Free energy is flowing through the grid, more than enough for every man, woman and child to freely consume as they see fit.

There was no nudity Completely innocent, like when these kids discover a dead snake in the hood. Don't care if you do or don't Someone may be interested in it. But I will describe it for you. The scene is in what I assume is a typical big city neighborhood. There is some kind of dead snake laying on the sidewalk and a young negress is poking it with a stick while some adults look on from the steps of the apartment buildings. Quite suddenly a large group of young negro children gather around and then as if some unseen signal was given the children begin to "twerk" as it were. Bending forward slightly and gyrating their hips in such a way as to make the buttocks shake up and down. It is quite strange to see and the 'twerking' is performed toward the dead snake by both male and female children. Even though it is obviously an urban area and the children are dressed in contemporary clothing it evokes a strong sense of the tribal. As if the children are channeling some primitive shamanistic dance. jealousy is so ugly We understand. I know you cry yourself to sleep each night because no matter what you do you just can't compete with the greatness that is Michael D Crawford. Its just pathetic though when you parade your failure on the Diary FP for everyone to see. We know that your tiny flaccid boy-dick will never measure up to the majesty of the Crawcock. We feel your pain when you realize that Mike turns down more work than you could ever hope to apply for. That even homeless he can score more pussy while you are stuck fucking sheep or goats or whatever it is you get off on in that third world shithole you live in. But please. Spare us the indignity of watching you grovel in public. Goddamn you didn't even put any effort into this diary. You might as well have come out with a lame Sienfeldesc "How about that Mike Crawford huh? What's up with THAT? Am I right?" Jesus dude grow a pair. I did have an account at one time but shit-canned it about a year ago as the site was even less useful than a MySpace or Tripod page. Damn you're not even going to buy me dinner first Wham BAM thank you Ma'am! Good News for HollyHopDrive Means The Man Eater could get his own office.

You tellin' me I can get me own Office and a Parking spot if I just have an extra donut in the morning and a double helping of fish and chips at tea? Criky!" "Hey Mate, where you headed?" "I'm off to the pub for a few pints. Those extra kilos aren't going to put themselves on you know!" Pitch has it's ups and downs But yaw, well I don't really care to choose sides. You know, would I rudder go this way or would I rudder go that way? It's complicated. I think I'll just do a barrel roll. Remember when Clinton was in that diner with all his staffers and the poor waitress worked her ass off and didn't get a tip? By dinnertime that evening that same waitress was a featured guest on CNN. Since then there is a staff member in every presidential entourage whose sole purpose is to settle up the tip for the service persons and cooks if the president decides to "dine out". hilarious I finally saw the bit on tv that this diary is about. I loved Obama's story, how no black man his age hasn't at some time intheir life walked out of a nice resturaunt and had some white guy hand them the keys to their car. You know, nicely dressed black man outside of nice resturaunt, must be the valet. Twitter Help Center Linking to an individual Tweet You would think a Master Debugger would know to search in the MAN pages for how to use a piece of software. You kids these days, so helpless. Love these nice websites wakefromyourslumber.com LOL Great for trolling Facebook NASA Finds Message From God on Mars NASA announced today that its Curiosity Rover has found an unambiguous message from God written on tablets in a Martian cave. According to an official press release two giant stone slabs the size of small elephants were located deep inside a cavern abutting Aeolis Mons, a large mountain. Upon one tablet is a copy of the Ten Commandments and the text of John 3:16 written in 12 languages - including English, Spanish, Chinese, Basque and Hebrew. On the other tablet is a simple message in English reading "I am real." Hey, if it's in print it has to be real right? Isn't there a law? You know, if it's on the Internet it has to be true. Sorry, I already have stock in JP Morgan I hope you washed your hands after visiting that site. But on the off chance you didn't, would you mind if I got a quick sniff?

Then get some YouTube channels and a big Facebook following. Start with some tweets about Allah doesn't love ISIS as much as the Taliban. Then post some nude selfies of ISIS women on the Taliban page. Better points if the women are shown drunk. Then post some Facebook ISIS is "in a relationship" with Israel, It's complicated. Follow this up with various YouTube clips. Within a month you'll have ISIS - Taliban drama not seen since a bunch of Christians marched around a wall in Jericho. The States have in common Brick and Mortar businesses that felt they needed protection from Amazon. Market research showed that people were going into physical stores to see and touch the merchandise then going online to order it for less. At first Amazon fought it saying that it was too much trouble figuring out all these different tax rates. Further they felt that if they caved into collecting state sales tax then it wouldn't be long before every borough, village, town, city, county, parish, and what have you decided that Amazon needed to be collecting their sales taxes also. And there was no protection for Amazon that some of these political entities might decide to come up with a special SCREW AMAZON tax of say 125% or whatever. I don't know what changed exactly. If law was enacted or what but Amazon no longer fights it and is looking to work with rather than against states in collecting sales tax. So it looks like rather than the limitations being lifted you'll see the implementation of those limitations in more areas. Sorry sye. I apologize but I don't know if that is true and if it is I don't know what relevance it would have. If you mean that the reduced cost of buying online is offset due to shipping charges well, surely you are aware that orders exceeding a certain dollar value incur no shipping cost. Further there are numerous incentives to reduce or eliminate shipping costs to the customer. So if you order a tv for $500 you won't normally pay any shipping (at least from Amazon where last I looked if you spend over $30 you don't pay shipping). And if on top of that the $500 dollar tv is $750 in the store AND you have to pay sales tax on that $750 then the same $500 tv becomes a REAL BARGAIN. and your point is ... ? You specifically mentioned Amazon tax. Then you tell me that you don't do online shopping on Amazon ebay. Which doesn't even matter. That's like saying, " less and less sales are made at Walmart. I don't do much shopping at Walmart at all". This sounds like a Crawford excuse/arguement. Even other online outlets if you spemd over a certain dollar amt they will ship for free. You're just waving your hands around like some homeless master debuggerer. Right but your question was what do these States have in common? That is the question that I was answering. Further I commiserated that going forward those limitations were not likely to be lifted but rather extended. You're the one that started down the rabbit hole talking about shipping costs. And if you note I was curious as to what relevance it had to your original question. But hey, I'm a nice guy and so I'm just trying to follow you in the conversation we're having. But you can see in my replies I keep asking you why are you going on about online shopping? Perhaps the problems you seem to be having with work and your superiors is causing you to lose your focus and make you distracted? That's really none of my business. Anyway we'll just leave it there and move on. Fuck Amazon. Have a good day sye. I'm thinking that something really nice and unexpected is going to come your way. Yeah, I just did a quick price check A decent brand 50" Smart TV purchased from my local brick and mortar 'discount' store would cost me about $950 plus tax. The same TV from Amazon is just less than half of that cost and includes free shipping. If Amazon didn't collect Texas sales tax then that tv set would be very attractive if I was in the market to buy it. That is how it used to be Amazon claimed that it wasn't their job to collect sales tax for each state. It was the customers responsibility when they ordered something to fill out the appropriate forms with their local govt and send them (the govt) a check for the tax. Of course in practice no one did that. So that is why the states passed the Internet Tax and put the burden on Amazon. So that if they ship to Texas then they have to collect Texas sales tax and send it to Texas I guess at the end of the year or whatever I don't know exactly. So now if I order something it says estimated tax. Then when the order is confirmed they bill me the cost of the item plus tax just as if I had purchased the item in a local store.

We are so fucking awesome it brings a tear to my eye. BORN IN THE USA! I WAS, BORN IN THE USA! Native American Council Offers Amnesty to 220 Million Undocumented Whites Full Story A council of Native American leaders has offered partial amnesty to the estimated 220 million illegal white immigrants living in the United States. At a meeting of the Native Peoples Council (NPC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico yesterday, Native American leaders considered several proposals on the future of this continent's large, unauthorized European population. The elders ultimately decided to extend a pathway to citizenship for those without criminal backgrounds. "We are prepared to offer White people the option of staying on this continent legally and applying for citizenship," explains Chief Wamsutta of the Wampanoag nation. "In return, they must pay any outstanding taxes and give back the land stolen from our ancestors. "Any white person with a criminal record, however, will be deported in the next 90 days back to their ancestral homeland." Not everyone is on board for this proposal however. "Why can't we just deport all of the Whites back to Europe?" asks It Omau of the Lakota people, "They're just a drain on our economy anyway. They came over here to steal our resources because they're too lazy to develop their own back home. "I can't believe we're just going to let them pay a fine. They should get to the back of the line like everybody else - behind the Mexicans." Seriously Though I read this weekend that the Justice Department of the United States has decided that, if the tribe allows it, it is legal for Native Americans to grow and sell marijuana on their reservations. This is even if the reservation is located in a state where the use of marijuana is not legal. So if you're at the Casino and the tribal leaders want to do it they could sell you Pot that you could legally smoke as long as you're on the property. There are restrictions. They have to have an infrastructure set up to make sure that money isn't going to gangs or organized crime. No minors have access. And they have to take steps to ensure that folks don't just come in and buy it and then transport it off the res. Maybe the fucking War on Drugs is coming to a close after 40-50 fucking years of prohibition. That is correct Because banks have federal regulations and technically pot is still illegal under Federal law they are concerned that if they get into it, say making business loans or doing any of the thousands of services provided to regular business they could lose money and possibly face criminal charges. They are both at risk from the Federal Government should the DEA or IRS decide to get technical about it. Plus they are at risk from the Pot businesses themselves. Because if the business decided to take advantage and like not pay back a loan or something then the bank is afraid they might not have a legitimate legal recourse since again technically it is still a criminal enterprise. One step that the Fed govt could take RIGHT NOW is to reclassify marijuana. According to the Schedule, Cocaine is actually more legal than Pot is. Because by schedule marijuana in the eyes of the Federal Government has NO MEDICAL USE whatsoever. This despite years of evidence and testimony that pot does benefit some people medically. Cocaine however, does have a limited medical use. How's that for crazy? So that would be the first step is to get Congress to reclassify MJ. That wouldn't solve the problem but it would go a long ways to mitigate some. Then of course, actually passing legislation that would protect the banks and put in safeguards for them would take care of the problem all together. But good luck in THIS political climate in doing either one. It's not just a Conservative vs Liberal issue either. This congress just does not like to lift a finger to do ANYTHING that has any kind of controversy attached to it. However, it's like gay marriage. The cat is out of the bag now. It is just a matter of time and all that tax money in Wash and Colorado just can't be ignored. All the predicted problems are not materializing. Sure there are some troubles here and there but not like what the critics were saying was going to happen. And then there is all that CASH. The biggest thing is that DC has legalized it now. So Congress people and lobbyists can step off the Capital grounds and see first hand how it can work and be safe. I think that and the money will be changing hearts and minds pretty quick. The news about the reservations though just took me by surprise. But the same Federal law that protected Hobby Lobby is the one that makes this kind of thing possible. However, because of the history of Indians, well native Americans whatever, with alcohol and alcoholism, many tribal leaders are adamantly opposed to allowing the growth and sale of weed. On the other hand. I feel certain that some tribes at least are going to see the opportunity for enlarging their revenue stream and I imagine it wouldn't take but a year or so for them to get the infrastructure in place. And if they need to create a local bank well, hell, If you've got your own fucking Casino then a few mill to start a bank doesn't seem like it would be much of a challenge. Yes that is also correct and a good point. Especially since those same treaties exist in part because of our governments insistence on them to fight the War on Drugs. It's almost like we're being Indian Givers in a way. LOL For instance Mexico at one time recently going to legalize marijuana and decriminalize many narcotics in a desperate attempt to wrest power away from the cartels. Make the stuff legal and introduce legitimate competition and you weaken the criminal enterprise. However the US Govt under Bush took exception to that and promised severe sanctions against Mexico if the enacted that legislation and so it was killed along with several thousands of Mexican nationals caught up in the political crossfire. I'm sure that if the US suddenly said oh well we've changed our mind then that would sting. As far as the treaties themselves are concerned however, the current administration has made it clear and even many in Congress agree that a "treaty" is not going to stand in the way of the US doing whatever the fuck it wants to do. Consider the diary your comment appears in for one example. How many 'Treaties' did the Federal Government sign with the Native American nations back in the day? And of those treaties, how many of them even delayed a Federal Government Action being taken when it was determined to be in the best interest of the government, hmmm? I mean stop and THINK how much even our own CONSTITUTION has seriously prevented a course of action that our government is intent on in the last two decades. Yes, those treaties are indeed problematic but probably not as big a Deal Breaker as one might expect. but the courts . . . do uphold them yes, I agree. When it's just a matter of an Indian doing a bit of fishing and he has to fight nearly all his life to get it upheld. Many treaties are upheld. I didn't mean to imply we just go around breaking them willy nilly. That is why I said that you brought up a valid point and a good one. Those drug treaties are important and they are problematic. I also don't feel like they will be outright broken either. However, I do feel that they aren't a great obstacle and like many things (take habeas corpus for one example which IS in the Constitution) some group of very creative government lawyers will find an interesting exception that will make everything perfectly legal and above board. If it is as simple as renaming torture to enhanced interrogation perhaps we could classify marijuana as no longer a drug but a food additive. Presto Chango, we're not making drugs legal, we're introducing flavor! Well the voters will get another chance perhaps that congressman may not. Ten years ago it was unthinkable. Five years ago it was improbable. My take is the cat is out of the bag. I think Harry Reid may be a bit presentient. To paraphrase, "If they legalize it out there it's going to be hard to unlegalize it in here" Evidently Redskins Hate Niggas too. You restrict companies from taking advantage of economies of scale. What is wrong with a monopoly? They reduce duplication of effort and promote efficient use of resources and spur innovation. Why do you want to restrict the job creators in this economy? What is good for business is good for America. I can only give you a redneck data point It's not like I've surveyed feelings or anything. I can tell you that the topic of discussion remains Ferguson and related incidents. JJ Watt, the Texans, and Fitzpatrick's broken leg seems to be of extreme importance. People are being careful not to talk about the Cowboys much. There is a lot of discussion about that soldier whose wife's landlord kicked him out after a couple days. Lots of indignation. Torture of Terrorists? If it comes up its pretty much 'Well they should of thought about that afore they attacked 'Merica' or 'You mean them sons of bitches ain't been executed already? Fucking Obama.' What makes you think? You're just trying to start a fight bro. Let it go. Who fucking cares? It ain't any of his business anyways. Let's talk about Christmas trees. You know, shit, Has mirko finally been taking his cialis or is he still in flaccid mode? Fuck it. Tell him, 'yeah you got his pills hanging "right here" and you got some mistletoe handy if he wants to give 'em a big kiss.' We have a really pretty white tree It stands all of 3 feet tall. I only allow gold (colored) decorations and tinsel. Less is more. It has little white bulbs that blink. The centerpiece is a golden clock ornament designed by a famous artist. At the top is a white angel holding aloft a golden star. There is an exposed beam that separates the dining area from the living room. We hang stockings from it. There is one for everyone in the immediate family. My wife is very partial to wreaths so there is at least one on each wall. On the bookshelf is our collection of Christmas Cards and a little ceramic village. That is about it for Christmas though. Except for the tree I don't care much for decorating. My wife enjoys Christmas but her holiday is Halloween. The fucking house is orange and black from about mid-Sept right through to Thanksgiving. It's kind of weird eating turkey with a 5 foot statue of Michael Myers staring at you from the corner. Second Law of Thermofoolishness states that in a natural foolish process, there is an increase in the sum of the foolishness of the participating systems. Foolishness increases until the Universe reaches full retard level. At which point it will collapse into a Singularity of Stupidity. Lets just do away with money all together And property also. Let's just make everything collectively owned by everyone. Then using science and logic we can provide for the needs of everyone. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws. Greed based society and the hoarding of resources by the few denying the needs of the many is unsustainable if our species is to survive. We could already be living on the moon and Mars along with elsewhere if we weren't so focused on wasting all our resources on fighting over bits of land and increasing numbers in spreadsheets for a few lucky individuals who just happened to be born to parents who excelled at greed and selfishness. OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS Unfortunately comrade, your application for cocaine, bitches, and lamborghini have been denied.

I didn't even realize it. Second Amendment, yes I am very aware that is a 'hot button' issue for me. But reddit is just a website. However, I seem to have a long history of jumping to its defense. Well I must admit that yes, sometimes reddit isn't always a bastion of intellectual discourse. DISGUSTING This woman is forced to wear this outfit to satisfy the basal rape-urges of men. This is a profoundly misogynistic outfit. This woman is profoundly oppressed. DISGUSTING This man is forced to wear this outfit to satisfy the basal rape-urges of women. This is a profoundly misandric outfit. This man is profoundly oppressed. DISGUSTING This is trane forced to satisfy his basal nature-boy rape urges. This is a profound image captured in his native habitat. The tree is profoundly oppressed. What the fucking fuck is up With Scott Stapp? (Creed's lead singer) Psych wards? Threats against Obama? Cocaine, Weed, PCP, and Amphetamines? Can you take me higher? Wow. listenable? Tastes vary of course but I enjoyed several songs from the album Human Clay and a couple from My Own Prison. Its not quite Christian Rock but their songs have strong religious themes. Are you a fool to run Windows 7? If you are one of those fools then uninstall KB3004394. Licorice is totally awesome So is fruitcake. But not THAT fruitcake. That fruitcake is nasty. But this fruitcake is pretty fucking awesome. I used to enjoy this fruitcake with some EggNog. Unfortunately my body no longer produces the enzyme to digest lactose and therefore EggNog is no longer AWESOME. Thank goodness cheese does not contain lactose and therefore remains awesome. PCSX2 is awesome. When the boy left for the military he left behind a nice library of PS2 Games but no PS2. (I forget now what he did with it but anyways). My only problem is with GTA Liberty City Stories. Even though I'm running the latest GIT revisions it runs like molasses on quaaludes in January in the Arctic. Vice City Stories and indeed every other game I have tried runs perfectly. The PS2 system isn't so old either so graphics are not a problem. Some really good games released for that platform also. Don't misunderstand, I'm not expecting you to help with my PCSX2 woes. It's just that is about the only thing that made sense to me in this diary. Seems you have been studying syes style of writing or else I'm just too old and not hep cat enough to grok the knowledge you be dropping. That was very interesting And I assure you I'm not being snarky or sarcastic. I really like PCSX2, it does a very good job at emulation. It does require a fairly powerful machine but any PC intended for gaming should have enough horsepower to run it decently. On their website they state they have 2386 games playable. And like I said LCS is the only title I have that doesn't run very well. I mostly use it to play games in the FINAL Fantasy series and some other JRPGS. Speaking of emulation, the PS2 was capable of playing many PS1 titles by having an emulator running on the chips that support the PS2 controllers. Pretty slick. We have a Game Xchange store in town and they have some PS2s in stock that are very cheap if I just had to be able to play that title. But it just isn't that big a deal. Thank you again for the interesting and informative reply. The ultimate Foolic's Cube Paint all the sides the SAME COLOR! That would be an interesting puzzle Especially for trans gender poly sexuals. Might be a bit difficult to solve for a fool. That's funny Because as I was replying, in the back of my mind I'm thinking that a true fool would probably employ a tool such as a sledgehammer or shotgun in their 'solution' of the cube. Quite Currently solving Rubik's Seventh Dimensional Hypersphere. Habbo Hotel Swimming Pool is closed Due to AIDS. Must be a trend Woman burned from the inside out. Draw directly to video memory I realize that you didn't study CS but seriously, we learned how to do that in the freshman CS courses. Not a big deal. Fucking A Liquid Metal dude and "Hasta La Vista, Baby" ( Seriously, EVERYBODY had that .WAV on their System back in the day.) vs Some random nigga and 'YO ADRYAN I DEED ET!' Nobody has that shit on their computer. Then you have COLONIAL MARINES. Mother fucker. COLONIAL MARINES! That shit influenced everything from DOOM to fucking well everyfucking thing that has a god damn space marine in it. Then you got Bill Paxton with, "Game Over Man! Game Over!" and "I say we lift off, nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure." There isn't a single bullshit thing in Aliens. It is all Awesome. Even the little brat Newt is pretty cool. "Aye-Firmative!" vs Hannibal Lecter and his 'Fava Beans and glass of Chianti' Shit, there is no contest. WOW REALLY? That must have been like the MOST AWESOME THING EVAR! So, did you suck his dick or what? Same as a nuclear warhead I reckon Been hearing about The GOP Some hacker group in North Korea supposedly taking down PSN and other Sony owned sites in protest over the film "The Interview" with Seth Rogen and James Franco. It seems to me that it has to be a publicity stunt. North Korean hackers LOL. I picture very serious, semi-starved, young koreans hunched over Tandy 1000's. Seriously. If there is a hacker group in NK then why would they give a fuck about some Western comedy? Wouldn't they be focused on hacking into their own government? Getting an extra rice ball or something? Or better yet a fake passport out of that shithole. Then there is this thing that I didn't even realize was a thing until I couldn't get online to play GTA5. Called the Lizard Squad. They have threatened to destroy XBOX Live on Christmas Day among other things. Jesus. The day the first web page was defiled and called a "hack" was the day 'hacking' became a joke. "LOL I HACKED THIS WEBSIGHT AND REPLACED CLOUD WITH BUTT. I ARE 1337!!!!!1!!! ROFFLECOPTER!!!111!" Yeah, then there is TPB which is still not available and from what I hear even their mirrors are just showing a static page. No links to anything. I thought they set up some distributed system so this could never happen? Oh well, I hate to see it but really, if you still rely on public trackers then hey . . . shit be happening erryday. Kickass is up and delivering for those requiring that type of service. Oh yeah, in previous comment I didn't quite make clear. I read somewhere, I don't remember exactly, I have been having trouble with a tooth, medicated, comfortably numb . . . anyways, something about the REASON TPB was raided was that this group GOP had been dumping and was intending to dump a bunch of shit they ripped off Sony, emails, DOX, movies, i dunno. Onto and into this Bay of Pirates. Who knows? There is an FPP on the slash-DICE other site about the raid and why nobody really gives a shit anymore about the Bay. BTW I just now went to k5-stats.org. Very modern site I must say. Interesting use of white space. I applaud you for not succumbing to the current practice of loading your site with click-bait. There are many sites that would benefit enormously from your design philosophy. I still applaud your bold minimalism And I stand by my comment that a great many sites would benefit from your design. Honey Pot I have often said, "It's a different World" It's not just the media, it's everywhere. The answer is right under your nose yet you fail time and again to accept it. It isn't 'The Media'. It's not 'Wall Street'. It's not these huge faceless conglomerations. Because each one has a face. But like we refuse to believe that Climate Change can possibly be caused by human society, we also refuse to believe that a few individuals can change society. "Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world." said Archimedes. And those of us not confused by the science of Physics instantly understand the principles of which he is speaking. Yet at the same time we refuse to entertain the notion that Rupert Murdoch with his lever of money and Roger Ailes with his lever of communication media can move the whole world. People refuse to believe that the Koch Brothers and any of the 1% can change society with their levers of power and cash. Further we don't want to believe because then that would require action on our part. As long as we have our bread and circus, our iphones and internet to amuse us. As long as we can troll and play games then we can ignore the truth of what is happening around us. It's a different world. You look back at any of the WWII films, cartoons, books, whatever and you will see young men and women itching to get into the fight. They would lie about their age, their physical conditions. They would do anything, go to any length to be a part of the effort. This lasted into the sixties when President John F. Kennedy said, "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." But sadly today we do things only when we are frightened. We do things because they are easy. We do not want a challenge rather we want to follow the path of least resistance. That leaves open for the people that are willing to do the hard work the opportunity to take advantage of us. That is why we love Crawford so much. His excuses are our excuses. His failures are our failures. We are all wandering around sipping our Starbucks coffee and writing furiously on the Internet telling ourselves we are happy and ignoring that we are homeless and no longer in control of our destiny. In a single instant of inattention we could have our homes or our livelihood or our freedom ripped from us by those in authority. I'm not talking about the Government either. It could be a boss, a bank, your very health, whatever. This is most evident today in the protests over the events in Ferguson, in New York and elsewhere. All of this sound and fury signifying nothing but impotence. It is evident from the Occupy movement. Nothing changed. Some people supported it, some opposed. Many just laughed and asked, "What do you expect?" What do we expect indeed? Myself, I can probably count off the useful years I have left in this world with the digits I have on both hands and my feet with maybe even a toe or two left over. But those of you who are younger. Well, enjoy your future. You have earned it. "when things go bad" HERETIC! Nothing goes bad on a Mac! You are obviously holding it wrong! how do you get out of trouble Just purchase the next version . . . Is this what you tried to CAD out of? Dude proposes in a $100,000 heart made of iPhones. Gets rejected. Yeah I bet he is hitting UNDO like a motherfucker! Apparently, according to local reports, the love-struck guy spent the equivalent of $95,000 on 99 iPhone 6 smartphones, and proposed to his girlfriend while standing in the middle of the carefully arranged iPhone-heart, holding a bunch of flowers. The answer was no. Obviously a Conservative Didn't believe in contraception nor abortion. That's a sin! Bible says nothing about dumpgrounds though. Problem solved. STOP RESISTING! Seriously, the only proper response these days upon contact with the police is to immediately lay on the ground spread-eagle. Don't say anything, respond only to direct questions, hope you don't get hurt and maybe later you can get things sorted out with your attorney. LOL That's funny right there. I reckon it's poss-i-bull. That sounds aggresive 'sqqqrrk Dispatch, this is unit K5. We have an aggressive male at my location. Request immediate backup and SWAT. sqqqrrk' That's why they use bullets instead of words So THEY win. YOU die. Problem SOLVED. PEACE is kept. It's not the BEST way but it works for them. And the worst that happens is they lose a couple vacation days. And they probably wouldn't even get that if they gunned down your ass or put you in a chokehold. They'd just say, "Known habitual drug user we were just taking out the trash" and there you'd be in a body bag while they go home and fuck the prom queen. Some Words perhaps . . . probably not those of (trane) Mr. Bladder's. While Blastar may or may not have been 'unfairly' anonymized. He is still breathing and was not injured other than he may have been temporarily inconvenienced. For you to equate that with the actual loss of life and liberty going on in this country is probably the most out-of-touch and clueless thing you you have ever done on this site. No, you are quite incorrect You are trying to say that a ban is '...the ultimate personal attack...'. That reminds me of the joke about the professor that said, "A good bowel movement is more soul satisfying than sexual intercourse." And his student replied, "Doc, either I don't know how to shit or you don't know how to fuck." The ultimate personal attack is one in which your attacker stands triumphant above your dead corpse. There is no need to reply to this comment. I will not engage you any further in your childish ridiculousness. You yourself have taunted people about "words" hurting on the Internet. Either they do or they don't. And I have not asserted anything other than real physical injury is in no way equivalent to getting flamed online. Nor is physical death in any way equivalent to having your avatar banned. In the example you gave of Blastar for example. He is still alive and remains free to return to K5 again and again to say whatever he wishes. On the other hand if he was killed no amount of $5 bux will ever bring him back. "I don't know . . . . . .what [he] actually spoke about, . . ." So you don't know what he said but because he said something that means banning an individual on k5 is equivalent to killing said individual. That is some fucking bullshit right there. But I guess you've gone and Godwin'd this thread. Just couldn't think of anything better and so dealt the nuclear OMG HITLER card. BA-BAM! Good, we're through here then. Hard to get comfortable With that chip on your shoulder. That's some deep shit right there dude. It's like, you know, back in the day. When shit was around you fucking did it up. Cuz, when the shit dried up it wasn't like McRib. You know, two weeks and out. No you didn't know how long that shit would be around and when it was fucking gone it was gone. BA BAM! And you didn't know it was gonna come back neither. Naw dawg. The ones say they gonna leave are like them bitches you know, 'You keep hittin me I'mma go back to my momma.' Yo bitch there's the do'. But they be comin back they just wanna tell ya so you'll be all 'Oh baby, don't leave. Don't go to yo moms. I'll be good to you.' Shit, get the fuck out and go to yo moms. I'll get yo sister over here keep me company while yo gone. Shit Motha Fucka Shit. K5: What's up? tdillo: I'm in a flame war with some troll. "What's wrong with me?" You're just a lonely guy searching for some meaning in your life in a world where you are completely irrelevant. Guys that have fulfilling sex lives don't talk about it unless it is unusual, like Del and procrasti. Once it starts getting to be an everyday thing they quit talking about it. You keep talking about it much in the same way MDC talks about shipping software. "Oh hell yeah, Man I fucking ship that shit all the time! I've shipped for the very fucking best man. I get complimented for the way I ship. People tell me you a fucking shipping PRO dawg! Man last night I fucking shipped three fine ass apps man. I ship so hard I can't even walk." You keep bringing up retards and nerd virgins, I dunno maybe you secretly want to be more like them? Fuck this is K5. You really want to know what is wrong with you go get therapy. You want advice from us we're going to tell you what we tell everybody. Go kill yourself. Solution: We need a Basic Income and Challenges to provide the technology so that we can eventually store everyone in their own POD overseen by robots and machines and live in a simulated reality ala The Matrix. You can be in Paris just by Thinking It. We can create our own reality with our own Laws of Physics instead of being mean and making everyone live the way some people want them to. Well except for those folks that don't want to spend their lives in a POD for the good of Humanity. We can just kill those people and use their tissue for food. Free Lunch! TICK TOCK TICK TOCK! ; ) <3 Like a fine wine baby! Just pop my cork sweetheart. The full essence of vinegar and sour grapes is yours! I was rereading this diary and I am really amazed at how you took this diary about Del's newborn and Blastar-like made nearly two-thirds of it about you. K5 at it's finest! I APPLAUD! The parent (npi) needs a four! AWESOME NEWS MAN Congratulations both to you and your wife... Hell, especially your wife since she did all the work! But don't worry man, your job will come later believe me! Here, have a virtual cigar! Excellent. Well done. Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate the Beginning of our modern day Saturnalia in the Western World. This bacchanalian holiday kicks off today with a celebratory FEAST of mammoth proportions. This is to demonstrate our prowess at hoarding more food than we can possibly eat. During the feast it is customary to remind friends, family, and loved ones of their failures as human beings over the past year. After the feasting the male patriarchy retires to the communal area to enjoy the competitive sporting events held on this day. The female chattel busy themselves with cleaning and discussing the sexual deviances of various people in the community. The children are often turned out at this time, neglected and sent out to entertain themselves with much fighting and revelry. The following day, known as Black Friday, starts the month long forced death march known as Christmas Shopping. This is where adults fight to the death in order to secure cheaply constructed items made in Asia to present them to wholly ungrateful relatives, friends and others. Entire cities are often remade into complete arenas. With garish lights, horrible music and chintzy decorations everywhere. The entire thing looks like an explosion in a crayon factory devised by mad men. The entire season is themed by the veneration of the saviour of mankind, born to a woman impregnated by someone not her husband, who's family was so poor they could not even afford a room or a tent. Instead they squatted in a barn where he was delivered into a feeding trough. In his honor the poor of the city are likewise turned away from the festivities lest they be a nuisance to consumers and discourage shoppers from spending their money. Another God venerated during this season is the Lord of OverConsumption. Santa Claus. The mythical Santa Claus is depicted as a fat elf dressed in a plush red outfit. He hails from the North Pole, a Siberian wasteland where he runs a slave labor camp. Each Christmas he rides around breaking and entering peoples houses. The offspring of the rich are handsomely rewarded with a surfeit of expensive toys and clothes while the children of the poor often receive little or nothing as punishment for their parents failure in a capitalist society. Finally on Christmas Day the family gathers around a large tree that once thrived in the forest only to be chopped down and covered in shiny glass bulbs, blinking lights, shiny tinfoil and other garish trinkets and totems. Anticipation mounts as gifts are presented. The gifts are opened to disappointment and frustration. No one receives the gifts they really wanted or they are the wrong color, are inappropriate, the wrong size whatever. That is where the next few days of the Holiday known as the 'Standing in a Long Ass Line at the Customer Service Desk trying to Return Items without a Fucking Receipt' begin. The end of this 35 day orgy of Overabundance, Consumerism, Materialism, Greed, and Revelry coincides with the end of the Calendar year where the entire season is brought to a close in a final night of unbridled Drunkenness and Debauchery known as New Years Eve. So my friends, I wish you a wonderful Holiday. Eat heartily, Spend frivolously, Drink heavily, Fuck happily, Fight Yell Scream Dance Consume! Let everyone know what it is to be Human and Alive! If you are unfamiliar with this let me give you the rules. First off this is not 'just' a sale event. Black Friday is a competition. You have to queue up outside the store prior to the sale. The earlier the better so you can get a choice spot. You need to already be aware of the items you intend to 'go for'. You will not have time to change your mind once in the store. You must study circulars, ads, commercials. You must be prepared. Each season there will be numerous items that are Elite or better. The items themselves will not make much sense nor will they necessarily be useful in any way. I don't know who designates them but believe me if you are unable to acquire at least one Elite lvl item you have lost. Often this will be something like a very cheap Blu-Ray player or TV. It may be a kitchen appliance or something like that. You will be notified in the circular which particular items are Elite. The prize of course is to acquire a Unique Drop item. These items are highly prized and extremely rare. They are usually something like a doll that shoots bubbles from their ass or a talking unicorn or some other odd thing. It will not make any sense to you whatsoever but you will doubtless be informed that it is the hottest fucking thing on the planet right now and if your child or neice/nephew or grandchild does not have it under the tree this year then they will grow up to be like trane. In fact that is probably his problem. His parents didn't score him a cabbage patch doll or tickle me elmo when he was young. Anyways. The store may be open when Black Friday begins. But the displays will be guarded and covered in plastic wrap. Usually though they start the event at the same time the store opens. Once the Event begins there is only ONE rule and that is there are no rules other than perhaps the one item per customer or limit 3 with an additional $100 purchase. Otherwise it is everyman/woman for themselves. This is a full contact sport. Weapons are discouraged but body checking elbowing, kicking, eye-gouging is permitted. Whatever it takes to score at least one unique and as many elite items as you can get your hands on. Once you complete this task you are ok though. You may go for extra points by purchasing an nex-gen console or similar for each of the children in your life. Do not attempt to purchase games. You will only be embarrassed. Just get the console that has one or two games already bundled and that will be sufficient. Expect to max out at least one or two credit cards during the event. Head for the check-out counter. The sales receipt will total your purchases and give you a score. The more you spend the higher your score. If you achieve the goal then CONGRATULATIONS. This is the only acknowledgement you will receive. What, you thought you would at the least get a thank you card? HA! Oh yeah and don't fucking forget to buy batteries. If you fail in your quest then know that your failure will be remembered at any and all family gatherings from now til the heat death of the universe. True fact. Psychologists in America have determined that not purchasing a gaming console or iPhwhatever is equivalent to child abuse. Now go forth and enjoy your Black Friday. Outwit, outplay, outlast, outspend! Faces of Black Friday Winners Losers Look at that Loot! You could contribute by making yourself scarce in this diary . . . "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Like Kill Yourself. You can think of it as the gift that keeps giving. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your Tofu. Thank you, I realize that and there are doubtless other errors. I was getting into a hurry because something had to be done immediately. I forget what it was, trash taken out or spider killed. I forget exactly. Good thing though else it would have been a much larger wall of text. Okay I will bite this troll If you just read the default page then yes it is crap. You have to subscribe to the subreddits that appeal to you. And there are custom stylesheets that make reddit more useful. A popular one is the Reddit Enhancement Suite which gives you much more control over your reddit experience. You might also prefer to view reddit this way. No, I don't work for reddit or Conde Nash. It's just, well you said everyone is more stupid than YouTube commenters and that hit me right in the feels. I like to flatter myself that, if nothing else, I am slightly brighter than a YouTube commenter. Dude, then don't fucking subscribe to those groups. You savvy USENET? Google Groups? Yahoo Groups? That kinda stuff? If you hang out in alt.rec.dead.cats then that is what you will see. If you hang out in alt.binaries.erotica.desperate.women.with.daddy.issues then what do you expect to read? But, but but that is what is on the front page, so that MUST be representative of the entire site right? Yeah, sure, have you taken a look at the front page of Kuro5hin.org lately? LOL. You'd have the impression that this place updates maybe once every three or four months. I mean the impression you would get is that . . . well I can't imagine what goes through a visitors mind when they see an Ode to Michael Crawford written by sye! I mean, wow, just wow. Anyways, I enjoy it. Different strokes for different folks. But if you're seeing stupid shit on there then that is more a reflection of your interests and what you seek than what the site actually offers. Yeah those pun threads. Well, I've made my points already and it doesn't hurt my feelings if everyone doesn't like reddit. I had to say 'something' though because I guess I do think of myself as a member of that community for whatever that means, just as much as I think of myself as a kuron. Probably some weird thing I have going on. I joined the Navy after all, and Scouts and all that. Anyways HHD was saying like everyone there is a worse than a YouTube Commenter which didn't make me cry I just had to say woah now hold up. I should be used to it being a Texan. If I had a dollar for every time I was told, 'I don't see no horns on you!' I would be right up there with Warren Buffet and Paul Allen. Hey maybe y'all would like Digg better I dunno. Maybe Buzzfeed is more y'alls speed. It's a big Internet and lots of places to get your tubes on. In the old days there was an attendant that pumped your gas. Helped stop that stuff from happening. They would even check your oil, air up your tires and wash your windshield FOR FREE! Your (A) & (B) is pretty much their whole theme. Jaw did not drop. Some photos were interesting. Unfortunately there was nothing that was WEIRD. Nice specs perhaps but it LOOKS like a console. However, I actually didn't feel like there was much dialog at all. I did enjoy the little snippy comments my team made at certain points. Cops suck. You can get away easy. They can get a little off the wall. I hate ppl that answer with 'Why on Earth would you ever want to do that?' I think you just might want to look at the virtualization options available as others have mentioned. Solution: unsubscribe. WHY DID PEACHES HAVE TO DIE? BIRD MURDERER! THERE IS NO PEACHES SCARCITY Government should give everyone the Basic Bird. Pets are the ultimate free lunch! You didn't RTFM It sounds like a big pain in the ass to make something really nasty tasting just so you can get a bigger caffeine buzz. Based on the article if I required the benefits; wide-awake feeling, not feeling hungry, etc. I would just snort some cocaine and have my regular cuppa joe or tea. I'm not looking to diet or keto whatever but that sounds like a decent meal right there. Will give it a shot. Hi, Im a jainist that insults people for no reason Peaches is dead and it's all your fault! The pork was honored to be chosen to sustain mirko and was well pleased to be part of such a succulent dish. You should do likewise and offer yourself to feed the wildlife and sustain them through this winter. You are so selfish. Bird Murderer! PEACHES WILL HAVE JUSTICE! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE FOR PEACHES KNOW JUSTICE KNOW PEACE FOR PEACHES. In pace requiescat Peaches I am aware that you are a passive aggressive asshat and Bird Murderer. That pig was MY FRIEND ASSHOLE! Before he gave his life he turned his snout to me and said, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known. I am honored to be cooked to perfection with a decent wine and sauerkraut. No pig could ask for greater glory!" But YOU, Mr Slap-My-Sandals-Hard no NOTHING of honor, nor of Duty, nor of Sacrifice! You, so selfish and dependent upon the teat of society to provide for you. It is you who are blind, mewling and weak. MOURN FOR PEACHES :( OK if Tofurkey makes US ghey . . . And I'm not arguing with the idea because it IS pretty fucking ghey but anyways ...What does Turducken make US? Because I'm thinking, Turducken, only in America. Seriously, what other country could possibly even conceive of it? South Mpls? Does that rhyme with nipples? Truly the world does not acknowledge the genius that is you. Thank God for kuro5hin.org! In the future historians will read your diaries and discover that you were far ahead of your time. They will lionize you with statues, great works of art, feature films based on your life. Entire schools of thought will develop around your theories. Universities and public buildings will be named after you. Great discoveries will be made in your name. There will be an entire Federal Holiday created to honor your birth. Those signs should educate not create fear, uncertainty, and doubt about our fellow mortals. I get the strong vibe the first dude thought I was a bum So you didn't speak to either of them. You judged the one based solely on his appearance. Then you made an assumption about what the other guy was thinking. Based on these assumptions that existed only in your own mind and not from any real actions by the two you acted like an asshat; "following a few feet behind . . . slapping your sandals hard" and you conclude fuck humans? Seriously, you are the real dick in this tale. Acting both unfriendly AND hostile. I'm no psychologist but from your recent diaries and the parent comment you seem to be losing your grip on reality. I hope you don't have access to a weapon. You're just the kind of person I would expect to read about in an article with the headline: "Crazed Gunman Opens Fire in Public Area" Witnesses report the man screaming 'HI, THERMODYNAMIC SCARCITY IS A LIE THE SOLUTION IS A BASIC INCOME FUCK HUMANS!' Thank you! I was just about to go to bed... I think I will stay up a little bit now. I have a thing about snakes. It is a long and complicated story. I had a . . . non traditional upbringing. I was born out in the desert and actually raised in a cave. We did a lot of hunting and trapping back then. I even had a pet raccoon. I called him Frito. You know, Frito Bandito because of the mask. We caught all manner of things for the hides. I liked to hunt armadillo with a .22. I could take them down without messing up the armor so it was good for boots. My brother would call me the 'dillo. Snakeskin can be valuable for boots and belts. We had these big aquariums full of snakes. We weren't always careful and you know accidents and shit happen. I don't like to about it. To this day I have nightmares about snakes. Lots of weird things happened back then. Like when I woke up one night and my father was pointing a rifle at me. He slowly held up his finger and made a 'be quiet' sign and then fired. I thought I was dead at first but then I felt something wet and turned around to see the remains of the creature that had been on the shelf right behind me. I was glad when we moved to Austin and into a house. Even though it meant I had to give up my pets. I don't have a problem at all with scorpions or spiders or nearly anything that freak other people out. But snakes man. Fuck snakes. And I thought this diary was going to be about Jimmy. That part I wasn't sure about but Sounded like whatever it was HHD was quite satisfied with it. Whoosh Jimbo Wales! Where does Saville come in? I think we know what YOU've been doing lately! Time to wash your clown suit! And a former kuron to boot! I don't know anything about them other than apparently they don't follow through on their commitments (to "Welsh" on a deal) and they seem to have an amazing surfeit of consonants. ( 'Iechyd da i chwi yn awr ac yn oesoedd') Rise Up! Gather 'round, gonna rock this place to the ground. Burn it up, let's go for broke and watch the night go up in smoke. ROCK ON! Drive me crazier! No serenade, no fire brigade just a Pyromania! Come on! Oh let's go let's strike a light we're gonna blow like dynamite. I don't care if takes all night gonna set this town alight, yeah! We got the power we got the glory! Just say you need it and if you need it say yeah! YEAH! Burnin' burnin, I got this fever. I know for sure there ain't no cure.

I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, but if you got a warrant, I guess then you're gonna come in. Busted, down on Bourbon Street, set up, like a bowling pin, knocked down, it get's to wearing thin. They just won't let you be, oh no. You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel. Get tired of traveling and you want to settle down. I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying. Get out of the door and light out and look all around. Sometimes the lights are shining on me. Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been. Truckin', I'm a going home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong. Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on. Del, go pour yourself a drink. There is gay4crawford and then there is modus-level RAGING HARD-ON 4 CRAWFORD. This is getting to be an obsession. Still there is the problem of property or land. In addition you have NIMBY. Lots of folks would support this kind of thing, just not in their neighborhood. It's why we have Section 8 housing. Supposedly you give poor people a voucher to rent in the community. They get scattered around and integrate. It works well in some cases but in others not so well. Like if you have an Apt complex or landlord that owns a block of houses together. Then you get the Section 8 people in one place and you start seeing problems. Crime, drugs, trash. These bottle homes would 'mark' the poor just as much as seeing them pushing a shopping cart. You won't want one next to your house so they'll get concentrated in some out-of-the-way area. And then you'll have the problem with crime, drugs, trash and all the other shit. Then people will point at it and say, 'See it doesn't work!' "Suppose we don't house the homeless." Don't misunderstand me. I'm down with housing. This particular housing though seems on the surface to be a good idea. But the problem isn't building cheap homes or affordable homes or anything like that. Part of it is perception. Like I said in my comment. You build these type of homes and that is like a huge sign saying 'HEY POOR PEOPLE LIVE HERE!' and folks aren't going to want to have them nearby. So they get shunted to the fringes. Think about your own situation. Unless you tell people, most folks aren't even going to realize that you have Schizoaffective disorder or any of that. So you can about your business unhasseled. But imagine if you had to wear some kind of item that notified people that you had mental problems? Even though you are still the same person don't you think others would treat you much differently? Might you be turned away from some cafes perhaps? People might be uncomfortable sitting next to you? What I'm saying is that housing for poor, homeless, whatever works best when people are integrated into neighborhoods so they don't get shunted off to the side. So they don't get lumped together and swept under the rug. So that vandalism and crime don't flourish. So that they can lead normal lives next to others without stigma. Do you see where I'm coming from now? Our very own localroger was once on the problem of cheap building materiel. He was working seriously on making cardboard 'bricks' that would be like cinderblocks. Unfortunately his experiments didn't quite pan out. Otherwise he would be a housing tycoon today. What do you expect? That is a very insightful comment. If you look at how he 'tranes' his bots in the diaries where he has written about them, he does exactly that. He changes the logic until the bot responds the way in which he expects. Then he declares that his 'model' proves him correct. Even though it only does so because he forced it to. It is no wonder then that he tries to alter the logic of reality to fit his notion of how it should work. Then make these claims that he is correct. He's just like a kid playing solitaire who, when he gets a hand he doesn't like, alters the cards until he "wins" then pats himself on the back about how awesome he is. I don't know how good a mayor he was But I did enjoy his music. He would login but the password is on a floppy in a storage shed in California and he needs $7500 to get it. Don't send it PayPal. . . .once you step out. . . No, I still see some retard sticking to you. And I can still smell the nerdginity reek on you from all the way down here. Kinda like rolling in shit.

Representation of Women in VG - The Cause The problems with [female] representation [in Video Games] isn't to do with the negative outlook on women from society. It comes from the inherent positive view of women society has. That is to say, the view that women are inherently nice and pure, that we shield women from harm, that society cares much more about the plight of women than it does men. Give me a fair shake. Neckbeards gonna H8 I'm making a fortune selling bumperstickers; "You can have my shell scripts and inits when you pry them from my cold dead fingers" "Open source community is full of assholes..." "[SystemD] very prone to mission creep and bloat and likely to turn into a nasty hairball over the longer term." "Fucking GNOME devs!" The biggest benefit seems to be faster boot times. But mostly the arguments come down to younger, SysD is the new hotness vs old school If it ain't broke don't fuck with it. It is more Win-like. And it isn't evil in and of itself. The main problem I see is that as it catches on it has started to encompass more things that really aren't part of its original purpose. So love it or hate it, there is no question that it goes against the traditional Unix way of doing one thing and doing it well instead attempting to be all things to all people.

I can only imagine what the letter said Dear Esteemed Colleague; In your latest article in the Journal of Physics you described how atomic fission was a "...complete fantasy with no basis in reality." We respectfully disagree. You will find our complete proof attached. Sincerely, Your American Physicist Colleagues Min Wage Employment is NOT a stepping stone That may have been true in the past but increasingly for the poor, the non-skilled, and the elderly min wage is all there is. And I'm not talking about retired grampa needing a side job as greeter. People in their 40's and 50's are increasingly discriminated against. That out of the way, I agree that min wage IS a bad idea. Because it is anti-capitalist. It skews the market. I'm not an economist but I know that when you force a subsidy like this then you get unintended consequences. It would be much better if there was no min wage. Let Walmart, McDonalds, etc decide what they want to pay. Hell maybe they don't want to pay anything. Maybe they give out gift coupons or some shit. All you can eat McBurgers. Whatever. Let the market decide. Instead of people going in and making decisions based on what is basically false information let them compare actual compensation between companies. Instead of people applying at Walmart because they can get $15/hr let them make an informed decision based on the actual wage of say $1.25 / hr plus $50 off in store purchases. Then the company is going to get the workers they deserve. If they want better then they will have to automate or compete with other companies with better pay. Min Wage just muddies up the waters and also confuses the issue with things like Food Stamps and other forms of Welfare. In this case I do agree (somewhat) with trane. It would be MUCH better if we had a Universal Basic Income rather than foisting it off on the min-wage paying service companies to provide a Basic Income. Sure, I don't want to pay $20 for a hamburger. But if that is the TRUE market cost then isn't it better to KNOW that and make decisions accordingly? If we know that a meal at McD's is going to set us back $25 per person won't that lead us to make better choices in where and what we eat? Same with labor. No matter what trane says, TANSTAAFL. Somewhere somebody is paying. I would rather that be transparent than for it to be hidden behind forced Min Wage. If it means some companies go out of business so be it. I'm sure that other, BETTER companies will fill those niches. Why should we legislate to continue the status quo just because of nostalgia? Finally though, I must address this: "...stay out of other's people business." Del, you live in Communist fucking China. Shut your fucking piehole. As an ex-pat you ain't got no opinion anyone over here is interested in. Just like all you European bastards telling US(A) how to handle our guns I got one thing to say, "FUCK RIGHT OFF". I don't want to hear it. This is America. If you don't live here then keep your god damn nose out of our affairs. We'll do what we damn well please just like MDC. Go fix your fucking human rights and polluted fucking air before you start telling US what to do with our healthcare, our guns, our immigration and our god damn minimum fucking wage. No I'm not talking about inflation I'm talking (out my ass really, I don't know what the Real cost would be) but like if there was no min wage. No subsidies. Just here's what it costs us to make a hamburger (labor, supplies, etc etc). Now here is what we need to add to the cost to make a profit and stay in business. Now here is the figure that a Burger, Med Drink and Fries is going to cost. What we charge. Whatever that comes out to and I suspect it would be a LOT more than what they charge now. Then we the public would be better informed and could make more sensible choices on what we ate and where we ate. That's all I'm saying. Same with Walmart. They have low prices. Some of that is economy of scale. They're fucking WALMART. Just being as huge as they are gives them some leverage in their pricing. But they can also play games with wages. Hiring a ton of people so they can ensure that no one actually gets any OT or works over so many hrs. Cutting benefits because hey, the employees can just get Food Stamps. Cutting Ins because hey, they can get Obamacare. If we did away with all that BS where employees could actually compare what they would get working at walmart vs working at the car wash for example. They could make better decisions. Yes I know about the company store stuff and all that. My point is not that these are GOOD ideas. My point is that we want people both consumers and employees to be able to make choices based on actual cost vs benefit. How Walmart actually compensates an employee is besides the point. And not just walmart but anyone that pays min wage which really is a way of saying, "If I could pay you LESS then I would but it is illegal for me to do so." Nothing complicated here. I'm just trying to Keep it simple. The thing about non americans telling us what to do is pretty much the same as people coming into your place of work and telling you how to do your job. I ain't going to sit here and say we don't have problems. I am very upset with a LOT of the shit going on these days. But like if I'm seeing tanks running over students in China and Russians on Vacation invading the Ukraine and all the other crap and then they want to suddenly tell America how to fix things? Fuck 'em. Yeah, they may have perfectly valid arguments and all that but as far as I'm concerned I don't give a shit. I don't want some customer coming in and telling me how I need to run my accounts receivable. I don't want some Yankee coming down here and telling me how great a fucking HOA is. And I don't want some Eurofag telling me how to cook my BAR-BQ. If that's what they like then they can fucking go back and do that where they came from if it is so fucking awesome. I'm not posting on Chinese boards 10 Reasons why having breathable air is a good thing. And I seriously don't think they would appreciate it if I did. Of course I have an opinion But my opinion about Chinese or New Zealanders or Russians or Australians makes no difference to them. I have an opinion about Australian Censorship. I speak the language. But I don't troll the Australians because what good would it do? That is their business. I have enough to worry about in my own country. I would just settle for decency & common sense Reason being, I have not a doubt that some of these people are very intelligent. And along with that Machiavellian in their cleverness and deceit. If that they could just be decent and have some sense I think they would function, perhaps not perfectly but at least adequately. We need more adequacy. I don't know about where you live but we already have a minimum IQ test for voters here in Texas. If you can figure out when, where and how to vote and then get the paperwork needed in order to vote then you have pretty much passed that test. As for jurors I think that would backfire pretty quick. I mean the very definition of a juror is someone who wasn't smart enough to get out of jury duty. If we had to have some kind of test then IQ test is all wrong. For a number of reasons. If any kind of test then I would say we need a drug test for anyone in office. And it should be like a breathalyzer or blood test before any official duty was performed and the results posted along with the act. For example, Sen Joe Smith voted against Prop 21. Blood Alc Lvl: .10, Evidence of Cocaine and Cannabis in blood sample. I wouldn't penalize them I would just like to have it on record. Another useful thing is that Politicians should, like NASCAR drivers be required to wear sponsorship logos on their suits. The bigger the donation the larger the Logo. So when they gave a speech we could see the huge KOCH Ind logo across their chest and DOW Chemical along the sleeves. I think that would go a LONG ways towards getting things straightened out. Basic Income in America The U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network The Basic Income Guarantee is an unconditional, government-insured guarantee that all citizens will have enough income to meet their basic needs America is running out of Jobs It's time for a universal basic income The politics of a guaranteed income get a lot easier when you acknowledge that the U.S. is no longer the land of opportunity 5 Reasons to Consider a No-Strings-Attached, Basic Income for All Americans An idea whose time has finally come Everyone's Talking About This Simple Solution To Ending Poverty By Just Giving People Free Money Unversal Basic Income Something We Can All Agree on? You are absolutely right. Fact is, it was one of tranes screeds that made me look up UBI. I was going to Google it and then reply how it was completely absurd. The funny thing was that when I looked at it and saw how it worked I was won over. It is a damn good idea. It isn't "intuitive" especially the 'Universal' part and why that is necessary. Even trane argues that it doesn't have to be Universal. But it just wouldn't work unless it was in fact universal. It would beat the pants off welfare and means testing and any other kind of welfare system we have in place today. But it isn't intuitive, like revolving credit wasn't intuitive at first. When you stop and think about it revolving credit doesn't really make any sense. But we use it and we are used to it so we don't question it. UBI doesn't make 'sense' but if we implement it then I don't think it would be long before people would see the benefit and wonder why the fuck we did all that other crap in the first place. In places where it has been tried it has been a HUGE success. Too bad those were only temporary experiments. Having said that, however I refuse to believe that any of this BS about thermodynamics and economics is anything BUT BS. In fact I don't think he really understands UBI except as far as it means he would get FREE MONEY. If you had told me back in the late 90s that we would have same sex marriage, gays (openly) in the military, legal pot in Washington DC and a black president serving his second term in office I would say you were fucking nuts man. It ain't never gonna happen. But here we are. Too many entrenched interests depending on the status quo. Even this Obamacare or ACA or whatever you want to call it. It's broken as fuck. Shit is a little better maybe in some places little worse in others. It aint going to hold up. But we will have Universal Healthcare. It's going to happen. UBI is going to happen. It may be fucked up a bit but it's going to come. The system we have now is just not sustainable. It isn't just that it sounds cool. It is that it works. Wherever they tried it it fucking worked. It just takes the will to do it. And as the inequality in wealth continues to widen the will is going to be there. I get email from Obama all the time and from Michelle, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, etc etc. They all say if I don't send them $5bux RIGHT THIS MINUTE then the Democratic party is DOOMED. So I guess the whole Mid-Term thing was my fault cuz I dint have five bux. Sorry, my bad. I couldn't help it, I LOL'd but taking control out the hands of the average Windows user is a major no no step forward. THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD RE... "OK" Do you want to . . . "OK" GET PORN IN YOUR INBOX . . . "OK" honesty is making your word conform to reality. integrity is making reality conform to your word You want to see a magic trick? Ain't that a peach? How would you know? You had absolutely no responsibility for the decision. At no point could you have said Fuck this, fuck you guys, I'm going to do something worthwhile. The whole time there was someone pointing a gun at your head. Right up until you sparked up in the bathroom. There was never any point that you could have said NO. I'm not doing this bullshit anymore. I guess it goes without saying then if you are such a victim that you have taken it up the ass for crack huh? I mean all that stress and depression. So you slobbed the knob for a rock huh? It's cool. We're not here to judge. Work is play If I don't enjoy myself or (most) of the people I'm with then fuck that. That is unhealthy. If you're going to spend a good part of your day, hell a good portion of your life doing something then it should be something that you like doing. And it doesn't have to be the sexiest thing either. My cousin use to enjoy playing with Tonka trucks in the sand box. He grew up and enjoyed driving heavy construction equipment. Backhoes, dump trucks, that kind of thing. Now he owns a company. He is still just playing with trucks in a big sand box though. I admit that I am fortunate In that when I didn't have any skills I was not averse to joining the Military and I really did enjoy what I was doing. I didn't like some of the people but I had fun. Later I was fortunate in that I had acquired skills that will serve me as long as I am mentally capable. So while I haven't always 'had it easy' I have been able to get by and have fun doing it. "You can't judge a book by its cover" But that cover pretty much tells you everything you could possibly want to know about this book. Why wouldn't he? What else would they have to offer the man who knows everything? I always eat before I go to stuff like that as a matter of habit. It's something my father, (who was NOT in the Navy) taught me. That way I'm usually not disappointed. The only time I get a little irate is if they don't have coffee. If they don't have coffee I will leave and go get me some. You may not realize but human beings can, in general go completely without food for a solid month. It's quite unpleasant, but one can do it. Humans can barely go ten minutes without coffee. Not without breaking out the chainsaw at any rate. HHD has more patience than I. I don't know if I could deal with the human gastropod as described. But I think maybe he is bad but not that bad and HollyHopDrive just likes to vent. I can totally understand that. I know people like that who have annoying little habits. If outsiders were to hear us talk they would think these people were total monsters. But really they are generally ok and useful. It's just we have to have someone to bitch about.

It's ABC Always Be Closing It's the year 12k Looking back 10k yrs to the present day. What tech is still in use from 2015? Answer is iPad because WarpLife finally shipped. (in AD 12015) Yes, it was a loooong walk for that joke. Although it is an interesting question. Supposing Human Civ lasted that long, what do we use today that will still be in use 10k yrs from now? I figure books will still be around but rare. Other than that I don't know. I would hope we would be spread out through the solar system and no longer using violence to solve problems. A place where trane would feel at home. No scarcity, etc etc. But probably not. Probably be back wearing furs and living in caves eating what little game hasn't become extinct in a dystopian wilderness of radiation and pollution. That isn't going to be a big problem. The next crisis is the Unix Millennium Bug of 2038. All hell will break loose. Banks will fail. Missiles will launch themselves. Power centers will go critical. Spacecraft will drop from orbit. It's going to be chaos and bloodshed on a global scale. Seems pretty inefficient to me You have this huge uncontrolled fusion reaction in space consuming mind boggling amounts of fuel radiating heat and light in every fucking direction and you use just a tiny tiny tiny bit of that to light your bowl. Then you tell me you got more out than went in? I would ask what have you been smoking but we already know that. Sounds about as smart as setting a forest on fire just to toast a marshmallow. Hey look, I've hardly done any work but I toasted a whole marshmallow! Entropy and the Law of Thermodynamics violated! Q.E.D. The Forest was already there! No Scarcity of Trees. Free Energy! Oh Snap! High Five! It's on Amazon I reckon more people would find it there than Powells. I had never heard of Powells before today but even Aunt Peggy knows about Amazon Yeah I don't have a Kindle either But I have a Kindle App on my tablet and on my PC. Also there is Cloud Kindle that works in any web browser. I can read just about any format there is, any time and anywhere. I buy a lot of shit from Amazon. I buy from Walmart. I buy from a lot of vendors and suppliers. Let me ask you, how do you reconcile your non support of a company like Amazon because of their corporate practice but yet you support a company like Apple that snoops on their customers and has their shit built by what is practically slave labor? The factory where your precious Macs and iBullshit has nets to keep the workers from jumping to their death. Take a look at the corporate practices of your Starbucks. Every time you swill your Venti Latte Mochatarelli you might as well be drinking the blood of thousands of poor children. Don't even get me started on McDonalds. Happy Meal indeed. Oh but Amazon wont take your PayPal. So evil. Shit. Those crazy fucking Swedes I wrote an article based on this diary and submitted it to my favorite scientific publication. They said they will publish it between the Piers Morgan Deported to England and Scientists Say Saturn is a Giant UFO stories. KA-CHING! And my penis became erect as well!

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT 67P ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE Whoopsie! Wake and Bake Times Yep, looks legit. Tax wealth Hard to do when the Secret World Cabal is an Oligarchy of the Wealthy. They are all set to tax the shit out of the poor. I think they would sooner bring back poor houses, work farms, and debtor prison before gold-backed currency. 60% think they're just about to become the 0.1% I'm not so sure. It may seem like that and no, I haven't done any surveys but here is my take. I must admit that I do know some people with a bit of money. Well wealth really. Houses, cars, property, stocks, etc etc. All the std trappings. And without fail, each and every one of them is appalled if someone refers to them as rich. They do not think of themselves as the 1% but rather the struggling 99%. Because each and every one of them will point out some other person or family that they know that is making a bit more and will say that 'Those folks are rich, but not us! Why we're barely making ENDS MEET!' And on the other end of the spectrum. The poor red necks that I know. They don't consider themselves just about to make it big. Hell, they are almost PROUD to be nearly broke. They admit they wouldn't know how to act if they had a ton of money. They'd just spend it on a bigger boat, a bigger trailer, and a bigger truck. Maybe get a boob job for Ellie Mae and some of them sweet Bass Pro fishing rods. Put a deck on and maybe splurge and get an above-ground pool. But they don't trust the Gubmint. They don't want no taxes. PERIOD And the one thing they are most afraid of is that somebody somewhere is gittin more than their fair share. They don't mind being miserable as long as every body is miserable. But by GOD if some body is getting something from the Gubmint then by damn everybody should be gettin it too. Unless it is charity/welfare because that is only for widdow wimmin and orphans. If it was just a matter of what they say I might agree. But it isn't just what they say it is how they act also. But again just my observation not like it is scientific or anything. Try HTML Tidy http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ And get Tidy UI to make it easier on you. http://users.rcn.com/creitzel/tidy.html#tidyui It was built for this kind of thing. With eBooks the only thing a WP is good for is spell check. Not sure if it's even needed these days. Then you save it in Plain Text. Not HTML. Oh forget it. It's like MDC. Cut fucking three times and maybe measure when it's done. A lot of sound and fury, blaming the tools when the real problem exists between the keyboard and the chair. A little bit of Google and RTFM would have saved you tons of work. People have been doing this for like nearly 3 decades now. You mean <p> & </p>? Man, you really are out of your league on this. Ok you know that html is plain text right? It just has some character sequences that are interpreted in a special way by the browser. In Word there is an invisible paragraph marker ^p that you can make visible using show all. I'm sure it is in libreOffice also. I'm sure you saved all your drafts as you go along right? You do a search and replace on the para mark. replace it with something like %%ENDOFPARA%%. You can make your own custom markers. You don't have to do global s&r either you can just do sections at a time. I do some other search and replaces to remove extra spaces and fix other such until I have a nice flat block of text. Then I can do a s&r on the %%ENDOFPARA%% and put in my tags. Well yeah there is more to it but I'm not going to sit here and type out a manual. There have been hundreds of people that have already solved these problems you are having. You can avail yourself of that knowledge or you can curse the software Gods and post angrily to K5. Anyways, it takes all of a minute on today's machines. But that is if you think first. I know what I'm talking about I have converted lots of dead tree books to e format. It isn't that hard. You don't want to specify fonts or any of that mess. 99% of that work is going to be ignored by the reader software or device. You're just wasting your time. The human readers don't care either. They have their shit set up like they want and they will not be impressed. They just want your words up in their head. But you can do it right or you can do it the Crawford way and come up with excuses. I just thought I would help. If you are dead set on doing it your way then fine. I'll just leave you be. Perhaps this will be a learning experience. Good Luck Yes, I understand the problem And I have to apologize, I shouldn't have come off the way I did. I regretted it soon after I posted. No excuse, I just think I was kind of taking out on you a little funtime I had with one of my own IgnMF's yesterday. Mea Culpa. So I guess trane is right then? It's all made up. Handwaving and all just to be mean. Math is probably just some shit that some low-level government official come up with to make life more difficult and further the scarcity agenda. Physics and Economics and all that is just a truckload of hooey to keep folks working as wage slaves to Ignorant Mother Fuckers rather than enjoying life. That's it then. I'm stripping off my clothes and walking out the door. Next time you see me I'll be out in the woods lighting my bowl with magnets and a magnifying glass. Fuck your world. settle down trane just because you don't understand science doesn't mean they're out to get you. The more you cheerlead for MOOCs the more I become convinced they must not be worth a shit. If MOOCs are so good then why are you still living in your car without a job? Yeah, I know, JOBS ARE FOR THE WEAK. But yet you still want free money huh? I ain't punishing you though You are free to continue to attend your MOOCs all you want, I'm not stopping you. But the only people on this board that routinely champion them are you and Blastar. Based on that alone I conclude they must not be worth a shit. You choose to run through the woods nekkid. I choose not to. You may tell me how fucking great it is but I'm going to pass. We have a CFO already Source of much foolishness as a matter of fact. Idiocy is well covered by the VP of Operations.

Mobi is an open standard Azw is proprietary based on mobi with better compression. AZW also has DRM built in. An AZW without DRM is essentially identical to Mobi. LOL I don't know if I have ever dl'd any ibook formats. But so far I haven't found anything that calibre can't mangle into something that will go into what ever reader I'm using at the moment. That is some best of breed software right thar I tell u whut. Do not specify fonts. As a consumer of ebooks I can tell you that any decent reader is much like a web browser. In other words it will completely ignore whatever you have and just present it like plain text or it will allow you to set your own fonts and margins. Kindle reader allows the user to set Georgia, Palatino, Bakersville, Lucida, Droid Serif, Caecilia, and Helvetica In addition it allows the user to set Narrow wide and normal margins and the same with line spacing and font size. The Nook does similar. Basically I'm saying that setting a font and margin size is detrimental to the user experience. Unless you have a special effect you are trying to achieve like the terminal text just don't specify anything and let the ebook reader set it up. Easier for you and helps old farts like me that set the text to HUGE. I hope that helps. allow you to set your own fonts and margins What I mean is allow the user to set their preferred fonts and margins. Further Reading How to format your ebook New and Improved HOWTO.

I could imagine this poem was written specifically for K5. Behold the glory, power and awe Of K5's Gayness for Crawcock! Praise be unto him! Everybody all up in arms about guns But the reality is that guns don't kill people, VIDEO GAYMES KILL PEOPLE! When are we going to start regulating the use of vidya Gaymes? Where are the background checks? People are walking around in PUBLIC with video games concealed on their phones, on their tablets, on their laptops! You can walk into any Walmart* and see video games right out in the open! They even have areas where just anyone can pick up a controller and test out a video game! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

That is exactly what I tell him also. "Not to worry, we'll see you another time." I was going to give you shit for watching anything related to that asshole TRUMP.

You'll blow my mind the day you write something more intelligent and scientifically accurate than what comes out of the mouth of a typical conservative republican. HealthTap is that like SpinalTap? Can my IQ go up to 11? Good Morning America! So nice to see we finally have our priorities in order. Drop that plate right now! You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say will be held against you. Arnold Abbott was one of the first to be arrested under the new law when he tried to feed hundreds of homeless people outside his church. You have the right to remain silent Two ministers and a 90-year-old man face up to 60 days in jail for feeding the homeless. "One of police officers came over and said 'Drop that plate right now,' as if I was carrying a weapon," Abbott said. Police also arrested and charged two ministers at the event. All three face a $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail for sharing food with the hungry. I completely disagree It is not about the food or having enough. The law allows feeding the homeless in designated areas. The violation was feeding them in a non designated area without prior approval or government permission. This is about "Out of sight, out of mind" and is far more insidious than simply not feeding people. If those in power can sweep whole groups of people 'under the rug'. Keep them out of sight. Then the populace forgets they exist. Once they forget they exist then those in control can do whatever they wish. Even to the point of disposal. Lock away the mentally ill, "for their own good". Hide the poor and the needy. Put the elderly in a home out of sight. Then they can say look, we have solved the problem! There are no poor, no hungry, no mentally ill, no homosexuals, no non-christians, no tired, weak, or huddled masses yearning to breathe free. There are no undesirables. They do not exist. You have the right to remain silent. I bet one of the first reasons is budgetary. The mayor said the reason is that by feeding the homeless you just encourage that behaviour. He didn't say anything about budgets or not having enough money or food. The city doesn't provide because they claim it perpetuates the cycle of homelessness. It isn't productive. Their thinking is that if they feed the homeless then other people will see how cushy it is to be homeless. Why work and be productive when you can just chill out on the beach? If you know others will feed you, clothe you, shelter you then why be a productive member of society? In other words the city is saying if they allow just anybody to feed the homeless they'll soon be over run with people like you. I know that and so probably does the Mayor But they have to come up with some kind of "reasoning" rather than be seen as just heartless bastards. They definitely don't want to go on record with the truth. uncommon for Americans to grow vegetable gardens depends where you live. In the South for whatever reason, its agri heritage or whatever many people have veggie gardens. I live in town but there are chickens in my yard every morning. One of my neighbors has chickens they let free range the hood. They get fresh eggs and occasionally fresh poultry. Goats are also popular. Even LilDebbie has a garden. Some homeless people Have a lot of god damn nerve! You are in good company Math is Tough! Is this your car? Spreading the Ebola Love? Definitely a Charger I would Dodge. Gov Rick Perry isn't running so that should raise the avg a little. I'm really only interested in three races. One, who is going to be the Governor of Texas. Two, will the Democrats be able to hold the Senate. And three, what's the third one there? Let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops. Next Question Whois coldandhungry? I never heard "feels like burnt rubber" I have heard "smells like burnt rubber" as that is a very distinctive smell. I cant imagine what burnt rubber would feel like though. Pussies. Oh My, Voting is Soooo Hard! I guess in 'Merica we'll have to put a poll at the drive thru of Starbucks and McDonald's. Get a free cookie when you vote! Get a free BigMac when you vote! I hear Rednecks 'round here all the time. 'Fuckin nigger in the White House don't have a birth certificate. God damn govt letting them wetback kids over here bringing in Ebola and terrists. I ask 'em, so did you vote? Aw shit no! That shit is too much trouble! I asked a guy yesterday in fact. He says, I went down there to vote but they ask too many god damn questions. I asked, what questions did they ask? He says, They asked me if I had a drivers license. I said, Hell yeah! What the fuck do you think? I drove my pickup down here! So I fucking left, too many fucking god damn questions. I imagine purchasing from a cartel or a representative would also be illegal. I think instead if your state makes it legal for recreational use then one would purchase it from a licensed dispensary. This because the state in legalizing use would expect a big tax return. And I don't think cartels, particularly Mexican cartels pay taxes. I really don't know this for a fact though. So . . . let me get this straight I'm typing this right now from trane's free copy of Yosemite without crashes. You're saying then that you are using or borrowing perhaps, trane's 64 dick ten inch quad dick dildo? Okay then. Uh, I'll just back away slowly . . . nothing wrong with whatever two consenting adults do in the privacy of . . . well, . . . wherever you happen to be, the alley, the parking lot of Walmart, the park. Uh, have fun, I suppose. Excuse me. Quad-headed So if it has 64 dicks with quad heads that means 256 heads huh, well that is a picture I'm going to need a gallon of mental eye-bleach to remove the stain. BoB Boring as Blastar uh, " massive overreaction..." would be more than just putting your name in a script dude. A massive overreaction... (if he is indeed the dude you claim him to be) would be to post whatever number he allegedly booty called you at to 4 chan, & 8 chan & craigslist requesting a j.o. hookup. THAT would be a massive overreaction... Woke up to TP in my tree. Apparently anything less than a full-size Snickers bar or cash is unacceptable for the neighborhood demons. Ghosties ate my sub. Voted for FP: 8 Voted for Section: 12 Voted against: 3 Abstained: 3 Result: Your story has been hidden. what? It's not a great story or even a good story. Its a dirty limerick. But in a democracy that score surely would relegate it at least to section. Where it could languish with lr's fiction and the moldy mlp. But outright hidden? Like a trane comment? Fix your site rusty, you have to. Just finished perusing the diaries Crawford says he doesn't understand us. LOL Also hilarious is that this is a site with no video and no images. Just a lot of text that judging by the comments no one even bothers to read. That is so Zen it makes my head hurt. Oh well, time to go get all that crap in the yard. Don't forget! Fall Forward Spring Back! Set your clocks forward one hour before bedtime! Texas woman under arrest for sexual assault In her fourth arrest this month, Megan Davis Hoelting, 31, was charged with burglary with the intent of sexual offense. Hoelting told police that, in just a nightgown, she snuck into her husband's friend's bedroom while he was sleeping Monday night, took off her nightgown and, in just underwear, got into the man's bed. She said she wrapped her legs around the man's waist and kissed him. The man said he woke up to find someone on top of him, "fondling his genitals" and "attempting to perform fellatio upon him," according to the complaint. He did not know who it was at first and had to use a flashlight application on his phone to find out. He soon realized it was his friend's wife with "her breasts exposed" who had put his penis in her mouth. The man told Hoetling to get off of him and leave the house. He said he called police when she refused. EXACTLY! And to think, he probably had to look up which flashlight app was best and then download it and enable it just to find out who was sucking his cock! He couldn't have just asked, "Excuse me, but who ARE you?" There is just no communication anymore. And just like all the work, money, time, blood, sweat, and tears poured into the engineering of the Internet. All of it used to basically deliver high quality porn 24/7/365. I have it on very good authority That the term; "Nigga" is perfectly politically and socially correct and acceptable. Only the N-word term pronounced or written with the -er ending is considered derogatory. Therefore, I invite you to walk into any place frequented by people of color such as the local 'hood or ghetto. And show your solidarity by greeting the inhabitants with a hearty, "What it is up my Nigga?" To which they will respond with the pleasant reply, "Word". They will honor you for showing them respect and allow you into their troop. Always remember that the Alpha Negro will probably approach at some point. When he does do not smile or look him directly in the eye. That is a sign of aggression. Instead look at the ground and allow him to sniff you. If he still acts aggressively toward you just lay on the ground exposing your underbelly. You may want to urinate slightly to further demonstrate your submission. If you follow this procedure it won't be long before the Alpha Negro allows you to comb his back hair and remove any lice that are discovered. What you missed . . .(Readers Indigestion version) Burritos walking in the rain missing a p-doc appointment and a contract that will probably lead to either getting screwed or a massive meltdown. Flip a coin. Apple map app sucks the Crawcock. Hipsters don't drink coffee. Climate Change How do They Work? Plus lots of trane "Government should give me everything for free!" bullshit. Now that wasn't so bad . . . Oh I have had that. Mmm I can even taste it No it probably won't jolt you awake. It's Chamomile and Peppermint. There is no caffeine in it. It's not really tea either. Not what I think of as tea anyways. But it is delicious. Yes I realize that. I recall in one diary how you were wondering what caused a rock formation so you went and read about it. Unfortunately you didn't agree because you couldn't understand it and it didn't make sense to you. So you in your wisdom made up an explanation and declared the Geology wrong. This is the same thing with the Physics and the Thermodynamics and Economics and all that. You learn just enough to show how ignorant you really are. Newton, Einstein, Adam Smith, Alfred Wegener, et al, all got together and made all this shit up just to be mean and enforce scarcity. All to ensure that you can't masturbate in a holodeck for eternity aboard your own personal starship powered by an inexhaustible energy supply. YOU ARE JUST HAND WAVING! Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like the quantum entropy of a thermodynamic burrito? Turn on a metronome and measure the 1.21 gigawatts of Nature's harmonic four day time cube? Consider a magnifying lens! The photons from the sun are incident upon my skin but I do not burn! But when same photons incident on the lens I can fire up my bowl! I have created energy out of thin air! Government should supply everyone with solar powered magnifying lenses and end artificial scarcity! QED! You see where I wrote QED? Yeah if you took a MOOC you would know that when I write QED you can not argue with me! That is like the Godwin's law of physics! QED mother fucker! Just curious But when trane makes one of these Physics From Uranus comments do you go take it out on one of the crack whores? I mean I can understand if you do, it would be quite cathartic. Rage Fuck Imagine walking through a field of tits bare-foot. You Need to go to Burning Man No. This Ignorant Mother Fucker is too fucking white to be anywhere NEAR the Playa. But thanks for the invite. Next time you go think of me and know that I am with you in spirit. Perhaps you could make an effigy and set it out so that my Anima can enjoy the proceedings. Oh I tan just fine. When I was younger I looked like a mexican during the summer I would get so dark. No I meant white in the sense of just too whitebread, too bourgeoisie. I have read stories. I don't know if I would fit in that culture. Africa, How Does It Work? In the town of Beni in the Republic of Congo, Africa a terrorist islamic group known as ADF-NAUL has been conducting raids resulting in the death of over a hundred people. But the people don't take that shit no more. An unidentified young man was seen acting suspicious on the bus. People began to question him and discovered that he was unable to speak Swahili and that he was armed with a machete. So they dealt with the problem. They stoned him to death, set his body on fire and then ate him. This is how it starts right? World War Z? These people are going to start killing and eating each other. The Ebola and the AIDs are going to mutate and the next thing you know we are ALL living in an episode of the fucking Walking Dead. And speaking of Walking Dead, what the fuck did Blastar do this time? Pirate Ninja is not only anon'd but every single post and comment is wiped as well. Oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN K5! Be careful trick or treating any vans that have FREE CANDY on the side. You might get 'tricked' into giving something a 'treat'. And a PSA for my BFF trane. Stay out of the woods dude. It's deer season and I wouldn't want you to be frolicking naked like a damn sylvan Elf high on crack and Medical MJ. End up getting gunned down by some Ignorant Mother Fucker thinking you was Bambi or some shit. So I also hear that chick that was supposed to kill herself tomorrow has changed her mind. I bet a lot of people are pissed. I mean they went out of their way to get all her bucket list done and got their heads around the idea of her not being here for Thanksgiving and now she is having second thoughts? The nerve of some folks. That was something I Did Not Know. That is in Oregon it is perfectly ok to An Hero yourself. Wow, Just wow. Roadkill on the Information Superhighway I Like this game "featureless stain" He did already. He sold his Xbox and got a Playstation. Then he got to missing skyrim and picked up another 360. I am back into PC Gaming. It is just a different world. I liked the console experience of just tossing the disc in and playing but fucking Mods man. Plus having the choice of playing with a controller or KB&M. Fucking Ultra graphic settings, HDMI, framerates like buttah. And just about every title is out or will be out soon for PC. People bitch about cost but computer shit is cheap. I recall what I paid for my first REAL computer and if I spent that kind of cash today I would have a rig . . . well I would probably be like Lil Debbie and never ever leave the house. What would be the point? As it is this one set me back less than a grand and plays the fuck out of shit. Literally, the exe files will be crying with blood leaking from their orifices when it gets through with 'em. Unfortunately my boy and I don't play as much anymore. He's got my grand daughter to raise and now he is a Sergeant and has a "shop" to run. We still keep in touch just more Skype than on a virtual battlefield. As for apes, I don't blame them for having anger issues. You know, it's like they lost the evolutionary lottery. So fucking close but yet so far. I figure whatever happened to the Neanderthals was probably a bit like Planet of the Apes. Imagine an entire race of tranes. It's been awhile . . . Like all of 4 days. Still, welcome back bro. someone to share these dark feelings with We're always here to listen and lend a shoulder when your current Jr High mall-rat girl friend dumps you. Peace Yeah like you could weigh 300 lbs then get on the meth and lose all that weight plus half your teeth and still have all that loose skin hanging off. Every little thing she does is magic Every little thing just turns me on ROR! It's going to be bigger than /r/jailbait! fal'Cie Make it so . . . "If you build [a subbreddit] they will come." Subscribed and submitted to New Reddits But don't make me a MOD, I appreciate it but I just don't have the time. You can make my flair to be: Pimp Daddy At Large though! Do they call white people in Africa American-Africans? People of No Color? Vanillas? Creams? Blancos? Do they have white lawn jockeys? Do White Africans have larger penises compared to Black Africans? Can Asians actually drive in Africa? Black people use the term Cracker and Honky as a racial slur for White people. I think a better term, more fitting and much more derogatory would be: "Tighty Whiteys". That Nazi Sports Badge is Vewy Intewestink That Nazi Sports Badge is Vewy Intewestink Are those shakeweights? Nut to Butt If you love something. set it free then hunt it down and kill it. Round! NOT! The world she is a'round "She's a-flat like-a you head!" Eh, what's a uppa Doc? LOL, He got everything you wanted him to get He got work, he got Health Insurance and he got a Place to Live that is NOT at his moms. But you don't know that because you admit you are too busy to even bother reading his posts. So I was right in both respects. I was right to say he should tell you guys to fuck off and do what he wanted. I was right that you fucks are all mental and that he can't please you. Here's the REAL countdown. How long will it be before you all start giving him shit for having a job, having a safe place to live, and having medical insurance? Here is another countdown: HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE MISTU, NIMEY, HOLLYHOPDRIVE, AND SYE APOLOGIZE TO MIKE FOR BEING SO VERY VERY WRONG? I'LL BET NEVER. Shit Happens A pattern of you wanting some tough loving in your t-dill-hole? I'm fixin to touch a nerve just let me slide it in a bit deeper. No, but you about to get nailed . . . Poor mitsu I told him to get some help. If I read it right the only reason she didn't shoot was, "I ran in, got my gun out of the bedroom and realized as usual the ammunition is in my car locked in my glove box." I was in a helicopter this one time Like a chinook but smaller. You can't hear shit because of the engines and dual blades so everybody has a headphone and talkie thing. We were over [REDACTED] and I heard what sounded like hail or gravel. I asked about it over the talkie thing. The senior NCO says, 'Small arms fire from the ground' and pointed at the floor. That's when I noticed the little holes appearing . . . Oh yeah. But I tell you the thing that most impressed me. Was this guy in a Bell 47. He's flying down a road over in Eastbumfuckistan. The fucking skids are like six inches from the roadway the whole time. We're blasting Def Leppard's "High & Dry" Album all the while. Steven Hawking says the same thing and he also warns against trying to contact alien civs. I think that guy Bill joy is concerned about A.I. also. But what do they know? It ain't like they're all that intelligent themselves really. OOOOO Spooky computers coming to get you. LOL. Right? Seriously, I mean, They really aren't out to get us, are they? And if your greatest contributions are . . . uh, please forgive me it seems my memory is not what it once was, but what are your greatest contributions? Well, they must be quite substantial indeed. Oh yes, you're the one challenging the very fundamentals of physics. Have you yet received your Nobel? Your focus on qualifications . . . . . . just how much more qualified is he then really to talk about AI? YOU brought it up NOT I. Therefore this: You can only judge something by its social impact. You can't talk about the mathematics or the physics involved, because you've never taken the classes and you don't know the language. So you focus on what you do know, which is social reactions. You choose the most popular side and use social bullshit to try to get attention for yourself. Is really all about YOU. Allow me to Fill it In to make it quite clear: trane can only judge something by its social impact. trane can't talk about the mathematics or the physics involved, because trane never taken the classes (you admit on several occasions that you you dont understand and the instructors are "mean" along with other students because they make you work rather than just GIVE you the answers) and trane don't know the language. So trane focus on what trane do know, which is social reactions. trane choose the most popular side and use social bullshit to try to get attention for trane. Pathetic crack head. Jane, You Ignorant Slut! I am so amused how quickly your comments descend to the level of name calling. literal-minded bigoted impotent old crank your stupid comment You were being ridiculously old and crotchety your fuckheaded psychology backfired Especially being the one who goes on at length about Emotion vs Logic. I suppose I should feel honored that you bothered to contribute more than a simple "Hi!" comment. As amusing as it is to watch you hurl your feces I'm getting tired, being so old and decrepit, so good night to you and may you have pleasant dreams. I would like to add to your comment if I may You make a very important point. And furthermore it is becoming apparent that those in positions of power and authority are looking at this technology with a view to using it on our own citizens. It begins with using the technology to protect us from terrorists, rebels, and criminals. Soon it expands to using it against those who disagree with the 'default' political structure, religion, etc. I don't know if anyone actually looked at the links I posted in my earlier comment. I know it is quite a lot of Teal Deer. But if anyone looks at those links you just have to skim the articles for the keyword: AUTONOMOUS autonomous: acting independently or having the freedom to do so. Have a wonderful day folks. And if you see something hovering in the sky above your city. Just ignore it. Big brother is watching and keeping you safe. 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act Actually, you can sue. Successfully I might add. There is a procedure for it in fact. There are some very strict requirements that must be met and even then it is a difficult process. But it can be done, and in fact has been done successfully. Families of victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988 sued Libya and won. Libya negotiated a $2.7 billion settlement, most of which has been paid out. You're absolutely wrong and the reason is you probably just don't get out enough. Amazon ain't the only one, there are now thousands of places that do the job better than any salesman or retail store. CD's LOL. Games, books, everything you can imagine and the young people are growing up they are growing up with this. Why have a thousand plastic or vinyl discs taking up space? Having to lug them around. They can have the same content in the palm of their hand. CD's vs mp3's vs DVD's vs mkv's. You are going to argue sound quality when the majority are listening through tiny ear buds? Watching on 7" screens and smaller? LOL. And I thought I was the Old Man "get off my lawn" in the room. When you go shopping next time look around and see how many people are looking at merch and then checking online to see how cheap they can get it. That is the future baby. There will be a brick and mortar sure. It's going to be a place for you to look and touch. A showcase. But you're going to buy shit online. Or buy it online and pick it up at the "store" for reduced shipping. People today don't want the 'off the rack' experience. They want everything personalized and ala carte. They expect it. They demand it. Big Box can't deliver that. It's 4:20 and I have been reading and commenting and reading the replies on this really pretty day. Sitting here on the veranda under the soft gentle breeze of a ceiling fan. Enjoying a cold beverage, a flavorful smoke and a modicum of bourbon (for medicinal purposes only of course). Surfing the series of tubes while surrounded by the wonderful scent of a freshly mown lawn. I even had the lawn boy cut back most of that damn monkey grass there by the front walk. It looks so nice now. At any rate, after careful reflexion and based on literally decades of experience into the human condition I have come to the following conclusion. YOU MOTHER FUCKERS ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY BATSHIT LOST YOUR FUCKING MARBLES SHIT-HOUSE RAT ROUND THE BEND UP THE BLOCK AND OUT IN LEFT FIELD CRAZY INSANE! Each and every one of you sad, loony, lights-are-on-but-no-body-at-home, horsecock sodomizers need to be wrapped up in a straight jacket doped up to the gills and locked up in some mental asylum basement. Both for your own good and the good of society. May God have mercy on your souls. Timely: Horse Tranqulizer for Depressed Horsecock Sodomizers No, I know who he is thinking about but I can't remember the dudes nick. No this guy had a hooker girlfriend that was married with a kid. He would post about going to her place and getting a BJ. He would get anything he could, methadone, opiates, patches, whatever it didn't matter he would take it. When he was out he would filter the carpet and shit like that to make tea hoping to get fucked up. He posted about having a job driving a truck like a delivery truck or something. He would get so fucked up he would have to pull over and puke. Then he got on that Hitler kick and was talking about how Hitler was a cool guy and you know blah blah whatever. Anyways it wasn't the original hugin. That was a troll and he went to HUSI. I think this guy came much later. Fuck now it's going to be on my mind all day. What a waste of thought processes. Worse than a hearing "It's a small world after all" because once you get that thing started in your head you can't get rid of it for hours!

Also, Lindows, Inc. was founded in August 2001 by Michael Robertson with the goal of developing a Linux-based operating system capable of running major Microsoft Windows applications. In 2002 Microsoft sued Lindows, Inc. claiming the name Lindows constituted an infringement of their Windows trademark. Microsoft's claims were rejected by the court, which asserted that Microsoft had used the term windows to describe graphical user interfaces before the Windows product was ever released, and that the windowing technique had already been implemented by Xerox and Apple Computer many years before. Microsoft sought a retrial and after this was postponed in February 2004, offered to settle the case. As part of the licensing settlement, Microsoft paid an estimated $20 million, and Lindows, Inc. transferred the Lindows trademark to Microsoft and changed its name to Linspire, Inc. I cannot begin to fathom what twisted mental gymnastics you performed to come to that conclusion. I will answer however, that I trust SONY does indeed understand what is an Operating System. Further, I trust that Sony has 'done the math' so-to-speak and has determined that they benefit MORE from the status quo. And you are on the board of directors of which of these companies exactly? Or are you one of the high level engineers? You speak of one with authority and insider information. Wasn't Windows around long before the idea of an Office Suite? I remember seeing arguments about whether Windows was really an Operating System or just an Operating Environment (A fancy DOS Shell in other words). Because you had to run it on top of MS-DOS, PC-DOS, or DR-DOS. I always thought it came into existence because of the popular Macintosh UI. And Office I thought was an answer to Borland bundling Word Perfect together into a "suite". Just like Internet Explorer was MS trying to play catch up with the popular Netscape Navigator. Coffee, Tea or Hitler? Those crazy Swiss! And you thought cheese was the only thing from Sweden that had holes . . . One Lump or Two? Can I get some of that in a perfume? No? Okay then, I'll just get the cheap stuff. Keep Portland Weird Table for Two? LOL Der Sveden ya goot! Even Nature has Its trolls. "You want wild life picture? Picture THIS!" Well obviously Hitler and Mussolini both according to the fine article. I don't know where you might find them today. However, perhaps these might suffice for now? A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Ford Prefect One of my top ten favorite quotes. It's a different world Why are there C and D drives instead of A and B? Next they'll be asking why do they call it 'dialing' a number? Oh and Canada? I imagine snow. Also shootings and dead babies in lockers. They want to be US so bad . . . If it is something YOU have heard of I guarantee that hipsters aren't using it. Zoe Quinn, the woman at the center of GamerGate In an exclusive Interview on MSNBC. "I'm not going anywhere." Gen X is the lost Gen that never did anything but smoke dope and play vidya games. Boomers and their parents built everything worthwhile. Gen X took all that we had built and sold it to the highest bidder. That's why All these foreign countries own America. Gen X Sits around and collects disability and welfare. Boomers like Mike don't take welfare even when they are cold & hungry. They provide for themselves and don't take handouts. Gen X whine about the Gen that came before them the Boomers and bitch about the Gen that came after them. But in reality the kids are going to be our salvation. All the Gen X can ever do is whine about how life is so unfair and get depressed and suicide because they are mostly worthless and their lives are empty and unfulfilling. I never smoked dope. That's what you say but I know you people on welfare do nothing but play vidya games and smoke dope and watch Dr Who and read comic books. Oh you did something over a decade ago. Congratulations and good for you. Please don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. Oh and keep on building yourself up by tearing others down especially women and minorities and making death threats. Enjoy your man-child fantasies of being a 'pirate ninja'. Do you wear a towel like a cape? Must be nice being a little boy living in a man's body. Maybe if you are good your wife will let you stay up past your bedtime and watch Dr Who. Gen X'ers are the generation that never grew up They still read comic books in their 30's and watch Dr Who. They sit on their computers all day and troll because their lives are pointless and they are miserable and make excuses for their failings instead of taking responsibility for their own condition. They like to blame everyone and want everyone to feel pity for them. They always claim that they are so smart and superior to everyone and have high IQs but they never have shit to back it up except for high scores in online video games. They think because they are great at video games and civilization then they must be able to do the same in real life. But when they fail because real life is not a video game they cry that it is not fair and blame it on Ignorant Mother Fucker managers and women and people of color and anyone else they can think of so they don't have to face the failure in themselves. If I had my way, I'd be working at Google but I had to pass WAAAAAAHHH I am not responsible for the consequences of my own decisions. Had I only been a bully like you You are mean and unfair! I could be rich and famous but I didn't want to work hard, I just want to sit on my butt and take handouts I are genius my brain is super smart but bullies so I play vidya games You're so full of shit. I didn't have to divorce my wife and we just celebrated 33 yrs of marriage. I made decisions based on love for my family and I didn't have to move. I went to work. I joined the Navy and then went on and worked hard. I didn't neglect my family. I was a part of my sons life and still am. I was born in Texas and I'll die in Texas. I didn't have to move. I attend church and am an active part of my community. I help people get the housing they need so they can raise families. All you can do is whine and complain and make death threats and disparage women and minorities because you are jealous. You don't build anything. You just complain that others get stuff and you don't. You are too busy trolling and playing vidya games and smoking dope. You are worthless. You complain about the young generation but they don't share your values and it's a good thing. They are our future and will be stuck cleaning up the mess your generation made of things. All you do is brag how smart you are but you have nothing to show for it except pointing to grades you made and IQ that you got on some test years ago. You work on technology (DOS and Win2k and others) that my generation and the previous generation designed and built. Have a nice day and enjoy playing your games and bashing women and minorities and getting paid to sit around smoking weed and complain about how life isn't fair and making death threats and reading comic books and watching Dr Who. You are just a man-child and maybe one day you will actually grow up but I doubt it. There you go again.You *used* to be so great but still you have nothing to show only words and your super high score in LoL and CoD. Funny you think I'm stuck in anything I just said it is a very nice language and environment. Did A search on Kindle and I didn't see 30,000 titles under your name I only saw one. I see 39 contributions to GitHub. One is some Windows Icons and many of the rest are tutorials that you did from other books. Everyone and his dog has a website, a blog a twitter account and facebook. my new allies the Neo-Swashbucklers So I guess that is what you call the Action Figures sitting on your shelf? Yes you are quite productive! Trolling Could Result in Two-Year Jail Time A change to the Malicious Communications Act in England and Wales may increase jail time for abusive or threatening material from a maximum sentence of six months to two years. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling announced his plans to make an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill to "take a stand against a baying cybermob." "We must send out a clear message - if you troll you risk being behind bars for two years," Grayling said. TV presenter Chloe Madeley received online abuse and threats after she defended remarks her mother, Judy Finnigan, made about convicted rapist Ched Evans. Madeley said while she is "an avid supporter of free speech and social networking...threats of any kind must not be interpreted as freedom of speech. Threatening to harm others is extreme and crosses the line of personal opinion into criminal behavior." Grayling's proposed changes would increase jail time and treat harassment more seriously. Some cases would go to the crown court instead of the magistrates' courts. via The Escapist I'm wondering. Since people in the UK have successfully sued people outside of the UK for violation of British Libel Laws. Could a UK citizen successfully sue say an American under this law? So if a death threat was made against HHD online could she have the user dragged over to the UK and thrown in the gaol for a couple years? In My feed Eleven year old boy is out hunting with his crossbow. Sees rare twelve point albino buck. Kills it. Git 'R' Done! You wanted a flying car How about a hoverboard like in Back to the Future? Pre-order it today. Or you could ask Tony Hawk about it. Because he totally rocked out on one. No, for real dude! Would I shit you? To Infinity and beyond! Freedom of Speech exists Citizens United. The more cash you have the more free your speech is. Freedom is too precious to leave to the mob. Still Crying I wish no death or rape threats on anyone That's why your old account didn't get anon'd. You claim I'm attacking you. You said no free speech. I disagreed. I haven't defended anyone. You are the one attacking and then call yourself a victim. Look, I'm sorry you weren't born a black woman so you could get all the privileges to which you feel entitled. My apologies Evidently I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and had everything handed to me. I have never known hardship or what it is to do without. I have no experience with having to work hard for what I have. I am an evil idiot because I don't see handicap instead I see handicapable. I don't know about struggle like the veterans that come back with no arms or no legs and instead of encouraging them I tell them to give up and go on disability and smaoke dope and play video games. I have no compassion for people who have no place to live in my community who live in the park and so I do not help them find decent housing or help to build housing so they will have a safe place to raise their families. I am very liberal like that. All us liberals want to give tax cuts to our rich friends and not try to use tax money to help the poor and the elderly. I have no empathy for people who can't provide for themselves. I treat people like shit and tell them if they want anything they have to take STEM classes and math and science and maybe one day they will be millionaires that can afford a computer and an internet connection. Because today they cannot. They have to make a choice to eat or troll and so they usually choose eat. How stupid they are. They must have low IQs. But that is something I have no clue about because my job was handed to me I didn't have to compete with anyone. I just waltzed in the door and said give me a job and they said here you go sir and here is a big paycheck. I did nothing at all to deserve it. I am an Ignorant Mother Fucker just trying to be mean and be a bully and beat you black and blue with my words. I am so cruel I say mean things to you on the Internet and hurt your feelings so you cry. But you sir are a speaker of truth to power. You fight the injustice of social warriors. Because of your circumstances it is okay for you to use your words to hurt the feelings of others especially women and people of color and those who don't have as high an IQ as you. Because you are on disability and have so much hardship you have the freedom, no the duty, to put those other people in their place. I am so sorry. I clearly have no fucking clue. I am ignorant and stupid. I bow before your intellectual magnificence. I humble myself in your August presence. I am truly ashamed that you have to even share the planet with such an evil and inconsiderate bastard such as myself. Congratulations on passing And kudos for bravely continuing to challenge science despite the fact you barely recieved a passing grade. I think your talents are wasted. You would have a fine career in National Politics. I think he is saying water is psychological and just made up by old white guys so they can be mean. Why not? Bill and Melinda Gates along with Brangelina are heavily invested in the area. Many other extremely rich (and white folk) are also. Why would they invest in Africa of all places? Unless it was to create an educated workforce dedicated to their benevolent white saviours and simultaneously killing off the non-productive in order to bring about a Libertarian paradise on Earth? Even today we have people who cannot wrap their mind around one person attempting to eradicate an entire race of people during WWII. Ridiculous and Unpossible they claim. Who can know the true Evil that lurks within the hearts of men? How to fight the dread Niggibola Damn, it's like I have all this time on my hands all of a sudden. Did I get retarded and the boss forgot to tell me? Did I get laid? Off? Am I just goofing off more at their expense? I have to check with HR. Where's my stapler? You realize that Charlize Theron is an African American woman? African American as a term for persons of color is ridiculous. Many American citizens of color have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Africa. Many white American citizens are originally from Africa. It is as ridiculous as referring to white people as Caucasian because very very few white people are descendants of peoples from the Caucasus area. And even then many actual Caucasians are very dark-skinned. Noting a persons sexual orientation is also ridiculous and has absolutely no bearing on their job performance or anything relevant for that matter other than who they prefer as a sexual partner. It is as relevant as referring to you as Norman King the mentally ill European-American heterosexual male. Absolutely none of that beyond your name is relevant to anything. Further, Mr Eich is not responsible for the modern browser. That honor goes to David Thompson, Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina. Saying that Brendan Eich invented the modern web browser is equivalent to claiming that Steve Jobs invented the Personal Computer or that Al Gore invented the Internet. Please do not take this comment as a personal attack against you. It is merely constructive criticism. I hope you have a wonderful day. A very nice language and Environment is Squeak.

I wish trane would mate with anyone I think all that estrogen is backing up and affecting his cognitive processes. I din't know you were from Texas Well anyways, know that we here at K5 support you in your homosexuality. I am sorry to hear you tested positive for Ebola but perhaps it will help you lose some of that weight. Love and XXX's -tdillo Howdy! Well, that's one way to be I reckon. Myself I'm a bit more pragmatic I guess. BTW, I appreciate how you begin your replies with Hi each time. That is right friendly of you. You must be a friendly feller. I think you shouldn't always be so hard on yourself though. You seem to be extremely self critical. Have a wonderful day and thank you for contributing to the discussion. No where did he claim to be the best He simply said you were boring and you were what is wrong with K5. Myself, I heartily disagree with him. I'm happy for you that you found what sounds like a simply wonderful place and I hope it works out well for the both of you. Actually. I'm just a wee bit jealous. But I'll get over it. Good luck. Talk about boring . . . Where are the forced enema diaries? Don't tell me there are no dirty Negroids needing a good flushing for their own health and well being? And how, may ask is your young wife? She must be all of fifteen years old by now. Has she blessed you with fine strapping male heirs to carry forth your legacy? It is almost time for you to find a younger woman to assist her in her daily tasks is it not? Are you still wrestling with the Mac mini or have you moved on to something a bit more robust? Have a wonderful day and may your enemies meet with dire misfortune. No rush, take your time. It's not like you're solving the software problem. : ) I think the GUI is way over-rated. I have recently moved back to a CLI after years of WIMPs and I am amazed at the gains in my productivity. My only concern is that I have literally worn the letters off of two keyboards so far. They just don't build them like they used to. Except when i trip and spill them on the floor. It doesn't really matter what order they're in though right? I mean the computer can figure that out. But yeah, Installed the alt version of Debian and I was going to add the wm and xfce and all that right? but then I got side tracked and just started using the CLI like a big terminal. Well shit. I get more down with fewer distractions. I don't know if it's faster I just don't fuck around as much. It's funny too because the other people walk by and think I must be some super leet hacker dude. PLUS nobody wants to borrow my shit 'just for a sec okay?' Bringing new meaning to the term Old Skool I don't know but imagine your sophomore teacher would be challenged to use a slide rule correctly. I doubt seriously that mine would have even been able to even recognize the device. I have three in fact. Actual IBM Model M's from 1984. Not the remakes. I have an adapter for the DIN plug for two of them and a PS/2 adapter for the other. But they are difficult to cart around with the laptops so I just use the installed keyboard and keep the model M's at home connected to the desktop systems. Best damn keyboard ever made. And if your server room is invaded by ninjas they qualify as deadly weapons. You know that might work better and honestly that is a truly gorgeous keyboard. Not to mention that with a CLI onscreen and that keyboard together would make a truly intimidating looking machine. Thank you for the link! Well the PS\/2 one the label says 1988 on the back One flaw with the clicky clicky My wife would get annoyed when I was working late at night. The keyboard sound would keep her awake. Sounds like a lot of crap to put up with just because you prefer the esthetic look of Apple's desktop. Or maybe it is just a "Fear of Flying" But what if you didn't have to bother with xcode or objective c. what if you could just code in c++ and not have to be concerned about paying apple tax or any of that? Is the desktop that important? At what point does apple and apple's way of doing business become more hassle than it is worth? If you didn't catch my drift I was actually asking Why even screw with Apple. Was my point. Sounds to me like too much sugar for a dime. Alternatives exist but the fanbois persist. I understand All my close coder friends burned out long ago and have either left the industry entirely or moved into management / administration. Same with me. I can still do some Q&D shit but it has been close to a decade since I actually wrote anything. K5 would call me an Ignorant Mother Fucker. I'm a professional asshole. I let the kids do the heavy lifting and just make sure they have what they need and then stay the hell out of their way. Don't you realize! The dice only do that to be mean! With our production there is no reason we couldn't make dice that ONLY had fives or sixes printed on them so everyone could win! In a better world we wouldn't even need to roll dice. The government would simply provide you a Basic Six. For those that wished they could go in a holodeck and simulate rolling regular die if that made them happy. We could each have a 3D Printer print out any die that we wanted. We could have a die with 100 on each face! THERE IS NO NUMBER SCARCITY. The Universe is the ultimate free lunch Q.E.D! Jimmy Status: Throbbing Mood: Impotent Rage at tdillo for daring to criticise Angelfish's favorite show. Especially Jim Parsons the homosexual star of the show and the man for whom Angelfish dreams of bottoming.

I didn't know who Vivian James was so I googled her and I guess maybe I should apologize because she looks pretty esp with red hair. She's not the worst I can imagine being paired up with for fanfic. I'm flattered Confirmed: Angelfish fucks little girls which is worse? So you say mascot boy Stop Deflecting! NBC is bringing back "The IT Crowd" The first time they brought it over from the UK it was cancelled before it aired. Hollywood or New Yawk (wherever TV is made) can't do a show about geeks, nerds, or gamers. They just don't get it. To them we're simply fashion challenged, egotistical, socially inept, man-children. The only relationships we are capable of are with similar female geeks, nerds, gamers or with those females with self-esteem issues or the mentally ill. In their view we are only fit for ridicule. I may sound bitter but really I am not. That is just the way it is. The original IT Crowd was appreciated by nerdom. It was designed to appeal to us and used the manager character of Jen to offer a touchstone into the world for the 'normals'. I am afraid that this new remake will actually do well. Why not? TBBT has clearly shown how it is to be done here in the states. TBBT is not mainstream acceptance and the characters are not attractive successful professionals with rich social lives who bang all the time. They are depicted as social outcasts even within their own peer group (the comic book store crowd and their own work center) They always dine alone and are treated with disdain and ridicule. Fucking Wil "Wesley Crusher" Wheaton has more street cred on the show than any of the main characters. Rog can not talk to women unless he is drunk. His only romantic encounters are with a lesbian and a girl who is mentally ill. Wolowitz can only hook up with a nerd girl and despite the suggestion that she makes a very large income they continue to live with Wolowitz's Mom. Galecki can only hook up with either a nerd feminist that uses him for sex or the nymphomaniac from across the hall with daddy issues. And Sheldon also can only hook up with a woman even more nerdy than himself and continues to have intimacy issues. They spend all their time in the apartment. Two of the characters suffer from embarrassing health problems. TBBT is just a way for non-nerds to sit back and enjoy making fun of nerdom without having to feel guilty. It serves the same purpose as All in the Family did for homophobic racists. I appreciate your insightful comment Thank you for objective and well reasoned contribution. Once again your wit is matched only by your brilliance. I am truly honored. Tis better to stay one's hand and be thought a dim-wit than to type a single reply and remove all doubt. Yes. See Also "Swordfish" for example. You're reading way too much into what i wrote And you have grossly mischaracterized me. But I expect nothing less from a frustrated pedophile so I would guess we are even. Ok . . . The young will adjust In my day, only the rebels, the rogues, the ne'er-do-wells would carry contraception. These days the typical young man feels virtually naked without a fully loaded magazine of prophylactics. Going forward the well prepared gentleman will also have an app handy to record his sexual partner's legal and binding digital signature 'going forward' despite its terrible origin is actually a very nice phrase and I use it often. It is much more elegant than the phrasing it replaces. Lucky accident that. I also prefer the UK spelling of certain words for the same reason. To me they are more elegant than the US counterparts. Words like theatre, grey, honour and humour. I dislike words like shite and arse however. I much prefer the more blunt and brutish American SHIT and ASS. For the same reason I really like the way you split Mother and Fucker. As in Ignorant Mother Fucker. I think that you are absolutely correct that Mother Fucker is much more powerful than simply Motherfucker. The problem isn't getting them to consent the rule is that unless the partner (assumed female so it is discriminatory) actually verbally emphatically says basically, "YES, I <state your name> Consent to sex with you, <state your name> subject to these (list of) conditions." and you obviously are going to have to be able to prove that, then the male is committing rape. So be sure and bring a sex contract with you that can be signed and notarized with you on a date. The only other way I see is having a shrink wrap panty EULA. You know so that if the panties are removed by the user then the end user automatically consents to the T&C of the panties. No reverse engineering!!! (3) Encourage Some Fool The thermodynamics limits of an anal turbine. I bet trane could wave his hands a little and make this disappear! Deep research into Gaseous Entropy. Basically, the s axis on the h-s diagram is invented, created out of thin air, a purely calculated value with no real meaning other than satisfying Kelvin's need to be mean. then you should get out more I don't know what you're bitching about Those are your words C&P'd I just added the illustrative link for those unfamiliar with what you were attempting to explain. I'll bet you did. For those of you following along at home . . . What an H-S diagram means to trane. Where trane was the HAPYCAR and the pole was . . . well, I leave that bit to your imagination. Note, Image is totally WORK SAFE I have never in my life seen anyone work so hard to prove they are a complete dumbass. Looks to me like you are the clueless one You can't even see what is obvious to any freshman. You're own arguments show you don't follow what is actually happening. I know you want me to bite hard on this troll but I just ain't going to waste my time arguing with someone who has offered a mathematical proof of their own stupidity. Instead, I'll continue to amuse myself ridiculing your ass while you try to show that physics is all made up by a bunch of old white guys that did just to be mean to you. That is your argument right? That the very foundation of physics is just hand waving because you took a MOOC and are now an expert. Let me know when you receive your Nobel. OMG FREE LUNCH FROM THE SUN! TRANE IS RIGHT AND WE ARE ALL EDUCATED STUPID! SCIENTISTS BAFFLEGHASTED. HANDS WAVING. ". . . if proven correct, the discovery is poised to make a fundamental impact on our theories of the Universe!" BOOK YOUR HOLODECK TOUR TODAY! Hey k31, you put it like that and I wonder could this possibly be a type of OCD? Or a symptom of OCD? I don't know I'm not a doc or (diagnosed) mentally ill... That is one of my favorite stories from the Bible "Hey guys, pray louder! Maybe your God is asleep or daydreaming. Maybe he stepped out for a smoke. Maybe he is on the toilet!" - Kings 18:27 Kings 18:20 or so to 18:40. Seriously the story is awesome even if you're an atheist. That's a strange comment to make . . . Do you feel threatened? I wasn't proselytising. I was just saying it's a cool story. Do you stand up in the movie theater to remind everyone that The Avengers, or Spiderman, or Star Wars is only a story? Did the mean old priest touch you in your naughty spot? Why so sensitive then? Did you read it? It's pretty short. But it is funny as hell. You say it never actually happened. But can you be sure? And again, I'm not even going to get into whether or not God exists. That's a personal matter best left up to the individual. I can imagine someone like David Copperfield being able to pull off a stunt like that even without supernatural intervention. And even without having modern day tech either. Just imagine for a moment that it did happen. Either by divine intervention or by showmanship. Can you imagine the look on those priests faces when the well soaked and water-logged sacrifice erupted into flame? Even if you prefer to think of it as a tall tale it still is pretty cool. I also recommend Ezekiel 1:4-3:14. That right there is one hell of a story also. I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal and within were four man-like creatures but each had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight and they had feet like a calf and their skin glowed like bronze. Fire moved back and forth among them and they sped back and forth fast as lightening. And beside each creature was a wheel on the ground with a second wheel turning crosswise within it and they had the color of topaz and sparkled. And they moved in the same direction as the creatures. The rims were where high and awesome and covered in what looked like eyes all around. And when the living creatures left the ground the wheels left the ground also. Then I heard a voice from above their head where there appeared a large seat like a throne maybe. Sitting in it was a figure like a man. Except from his waist up it looked like he was made of metal and from his waist down he was like fire and he was surrounded by a bright light. The voice said, "HUMAN, stand up I want to speak with you" And then something took control of me and made me stand. He began to speak to me and when he was done he said, "HUMAN, eat this scroll!" So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey. I don't care who you are that is one hell of a tale right there. Cool, I wasn't threatened. I honestly thought it was a strange comment for someone to make. Like I said. It was like somebody just standing up in the middle of like say, "Superman" and going, "You all know this isn't real right? People can't fly or stop bullets." It was my pleasure. And thank you for voting my story submission down in the queue. The challenge of one day getting a story posted to the Front Page on a moribund web blog in the backcountry ghetto of the Internet remains unfulfilled. Were I to finally succeed I might then have nothing for which to live. I owe you my life and my sacred honor. In my Inbox today "Dear Reader, Continuity. It can be a problem. Not so much when you're writing a series, especially for me as I like to plan everything out in advance. But in the case of The Abyss Beyond Dreams, the writing was more testing than usual. Typically for a two or three book series, I will spend the first six to nine months plotting out the story, detailing characters, worlds, the technology, the economy, types of society, and all the other myriad little details that fit together to give the universe a realistic, or at least believable, feel. Only then, when I have that foundation stone, do I start to write the actual book(s). Now the thing with my trilogies is that they are actually one story, just split into three parts because of the physical impossibility of printing a near-as 3,000 page book. . . . more" - Peter F Hamilton Welcome Back Blastar Where ya been? Nimey was missing you I think. I was looking at the voting on my ejaculations in the queue. That is hilarious coming from a dude that reposts his own hidden comments. Don't even try to tell me you don't turn around to admire the length and girth of your turds in the bowl. Or wherever you happen to be taking a dump at the moment. Probably some abandoned crack den. Depends What are you trying to say? I'm gonna need a bit more than ten gallons I ain't like you runnin nekkid in the woods, able to shit anywhere any time. Do you lick your own ass and balls to clean up like a dog? Or do you just sit and wiggle a bit in the dirt and grass? Maybe rub it up against a tree? Speaking of which I figured I would get better scores with something that advocated the walling off and nuking of Texas. Cool Glad to see you keeping yourself busy. BTW Fat Ugly or Slutty is just the name of the website. It is about general misogyny in gaming. But you already knew that with your 189 IQ and all. Good luck with the retro stuff.

IT'S IN THE QUEUE IN THE EDIT IN THE DIARY SECTION! THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS DEADLY PLAGUE! Shit. You just haven't been paying attention. Foolishness is experiencing a HUGE SURGE IN POPULARITY recently. I predict the rise of extreme foolishness to continue at least through Jan 1 2016. minimum I meant to say 2017 actually. See, Foolishness is spreading faster than Ebola! Not to worry. When it becomes viable We will begin to frak the pools of deep fool. Releasing millions of barrels of fool in areas of the country previously neglected. This will ensure a stable supply of fool well into the future. many marriages would last longer If that was a requirement. A Cuckold he means I mention it curious as to your barely tangentially related anecdotal reply. We lost Vietnam and have been trying to overcompensate ever since. I grew up in the aftermath I couldn't even begin to COUNT the number of attempts to rewrite history (in a cultural way). Schwarzenegger, VanDamme, Norris, etc. all practically owe their careers to us losing Vietnam. It affected the American psyche at least as much possibly more than even 9/11. And we are still trying to live it down. Lol those hippies Dennis Hopper, Steve Jobs, etc. grew older and became Conservative. Talk about anti-war influence. Why doesn't Congress want to come back and debate the war? Maybe because of comparisons to Vietnam and Iraq and words like quagmire and shit? Why do we even give a shit? We have problems here that need to be solved. They'll write a blank check to fund adventures in foreign countries but won't pay teachers a decent salary or provide Americans with proper healthcare. Fuck Syria, Fuck Iraq, Fuck Afghanistan, Fuck the World. We got oil now and cool tech. We have no need of being the world policemen or solving everyone else's domestic problems. Yep IANAL but reading the Fine CaliDMV website It looks like you might indeed be able to reinstate your DL but since you didn't take care of it right away it may cost you a very large sum now. A dollar of prevention can be worth several hundred dollars of cure. Also if your license is expired in Cali but not suspended then you may be able to apply for an Ore DL. That is if the suspension no longer applies and your Cali DL just expired because you didn't renew. You should go down and talk to one of the nice ladies at the DMV. Give them a bit of that patented MDC charm and see what they say. Those gals ain't going to slam your head into the concrete. They can be real nice. money should be supplied to everyone We have the technology Scarcity of Intelligence detected in this Diary Women who could kick your ass Maj Lauren Edwards, US Marine. Edwards was leading a company of combat engineers during the invasion of Iraq when her unit's convoy was attacked in 2003. It was the first time she had ever been shot at. She led more than 150 Marines and several vehicles in defensive maneuvers, earning an award for valor in the process. She can run a perfect male physical fitness test, including running three miles in 18 minutes, doing 20 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups in two minutes. Sgt Sherri Gallagher, US Army. A member of the Golden Knights. Named 2010 Army Soldier of the Year. One of the top long-range marksmen in the country. Beat out top ranked male soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, urban maneuvers, detainee operations, casualty evaluation, weapons familiarization, and night firing. Sgt Leigh Ann Hester, US Army. Awarded for valor in close quarter combat in Iraq. Repeled more than two dozen Iraqi insurgents. At one point walking directly into enemy fire to kill three enemy combatants at close range. The first woman since World War II to earn the Silver Star Medal, the third highest award exclusively for valor in combat. Lot of words there defending your ego I still stand by my statement that they each could kick YOUR ass. Look, man. I realize that you have proven your marksmanship by successfully hitting a wall. I also will admit that you are pretty badass when it comes to killing noobs in online vidya games. I wonder though how you would fare "proactively heading out on foot carrying three days supplies on your back." And how would you comport yourself on the battlefield? Now that women are "allowed" in combat I'm sure we'll hear many more stories of valor. It ain't the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog. But that's ok. You keep telling us about all them pixels you massacre while you wait for the world to come to an end. Because hell hath no fury like a Lil Debbie. Put your money where your mouth is. Uncle Sam needs you. Or if you don't want to support the Evil Empire$ then you can sign up for somebodies private force. It can be quite lucrative. BTW I believe your tales of TOUGHNESS there Internet Tough Guy. Matter of fact I myself do 500 pushups every morning, on each finger. I run 20 miles in full battle rattle each morning before breakfast. I eat concertina wire for the fiber and piss JP-5 and shit depleted Uranium. Yeah, seriously though I have known a few like you. Talk all kinds of shit till we hit the field then a twig snaps and their eyes get about yea big as the stain on the front of their pants doubles in size. Oh well. Have a nice day civilian. I honestly couldn't say. My only contact with female service members while I was in was aboard the USS Vulcan which was berthed nearby when I was in Norfolk. And the female helicopter pilots we carried on board when I was in the surface navy. Since then there have been a number of changes. I have a female cousin currently serving in the US Marines and a niece currently in the US Air Force. I think most people start off wanting to make a difference. For some it may be a little about the (hopefully lots of ) money or the (possibility of) fame (at least in ones own industry). But mostly I feel that the main impetus is somebody looking around and saying "THIS IS SHIT" and wanting to do better. But after some point of money, or power, or fame, or whatever then something happens and they become shitheads. It may start with something small and snowball or just they wake up one morning and say Fuck Em I've got mine! I mean Dennis Hopper became a Republican! Easy god damn rider himself! But that is what happens. Netflix is a good example. Netflix was everyones OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS TOO FUCKING GOOD TO BE TRUE I LOVE YOU NETFLIX. Then they started getting big and did just a little thing. It wasn't that evil but it is just the first step. Eventually NETFLIX is going to be no different than all the rest of them. They'll be litigating and over charging while giving the crappiest service available. It's inevitable. My google story is that back a few years ago I had a nym gmail account. Then they did that 'Real Names' thing where they were locking some folks out. Well by then I had drank the Kool-Aid and I could do without Google but it would be difficult. So I just went and switched to my Real name. Actually I used Mr. Surname which AFAIK perfectly legit and legal. But Google wasn't having it. Now THAT is just Bullshit. Mr Surname is my fucking Real Name. I use it in Business and all that. I just wow, I mean, wow. Ya know? Oh well, fuck it. Save yourself. It's too late for me now. I'm sure Google knows my dick size down to the mm by now. In a hundred years it won't matter anyways. Happy Birthday US NAVY! And Now For Something Completely Different! Thanks a fucking lot SJWs! Damn Del gets to have ALL the fun! Angelfish's Bedroom And Happy Colombo Day K5! I used to love that show! "Let me just ask you one more question . . ." It's so awesome they recognize Peter Falk with his very own day. Were y'all playing Xbox or Playstation? Did she write an Indie game and then sleep with you to get a better score? This is about games though that is why your comment confused me. I don't get it??? Kill Yourself You sound like Trane On The Bible Just more entertaining and creative. Fuck me stupid This guy says U.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster is going to lose her bid for re-election because "She is Ugly as Sin" and he goes on to remark that he hopes he isn't offending sin. Says she looks like a drag queen he picked up at a bar in Montreal once. Instead he hopes that Republican Marilinda Garcia wins so he has a nice ass to ogle when he's not busy banging drag queens. Then there is the officer in Iowa that is convinced this driver is holding because he has a frisbee golf set in the backseat and you know, ". . . everybody that plays Frisbee golf smokes weed." Oh and if you encrypt your stuff on your iphone you must be a kidnapper, pedophile or terrorist according to FBI director James Comey. Because of course if you're not doing anything wrong what do you have to hide? LOL @ The Empire The concept doesn't surprise me That he made his statements in his blog does. Used to when something like this was reported it was because the politician thought the mic was off. I don't think this is what is intended by transparency in Government. Washington was a poor sailor You don't stand up in a fucking boat. How very stereotypically patriarchal white male of you to say. The politically correct term is 'Climate Change' STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM!!!!1! FACE OFF! Kids are going to shit their pants when this woman opens the door "TRICK OR TRE...AUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!" My sores . . . She Wins At Halloween - reddit.com/r/WTF! Meet Lil Debbie's new girlfriend Nina Pham. Hell yeah she's hot! Hot with fever and love! BTW Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins' office confirmed that the nurse's dog remains in the apartment. Water and food have been delivered for the dog, a King Charles spaniel, and authorities are developing a longer-term plan for how to deal with the dog while it's owner is being treated. "If that dog has to be the boy in a plastic bubble... We are going to take good care of that dog," Jenkins said. He also stated the dog would not be euthanized. Obviously From the photo it appears you are a piece of ass man. Yeah, thank goodness it smelled like Sin and not sex or something. He might have got distracted and wrecked the truck! LOL The funniest thing about this is that when I was in High School the closest thing to a PC was a MITS Altair. And to be honest at the time I knew nothing of computers. The only thing I knew about computers was that they were always screwing up people's water or electric bill. My first ever job in IT was basically mounting 9-track tapes. I thought it was pretty ironic because in HS I thought those tape drives were the computer. (I mean every TV show and movie would show those tape drives spinning in scenes depicting computer stuff so ya know . . .) And Black, Black as coal just like Navy Coffee.

I just figured you were once again whining about how difficult it was to snag that under age pelt again. How you can't dip your wick in some Jr High Cheer leader quim. Now I ain't calling you no pedophile. I hear ya. If'n there is grass on the field then lets PLAY BALL! Different Strokes for different folks. It's all good man. Don't feel bad. You'll score some fourteen year old pussy again. Them bitches aint loyal. You're like what McConaughey said in Dazed and Confused, "...what I love about these junior high school girls: I get older, they stay the same age." the world? the Sunshine of Your Life? The Wind Beneath Your Wings? Come all ye young fellows that follows the sea to me, way hey, blow the man down. Now please pay attention and listen to me give me some time to blow the man down I'm a deep water sailor just come from Hong Kong you give me some whiskey and I'll sing you a song!

Pay attention to orders, now, you one and all for see high above there flies the Black Ball. 'Tis larboard and starboard, on deck you will sprawl for kicking Jack Rogers commands the Black Ball! To be Honest. I reaqlly LOVED being in the Navy However, if I were to have the opportunity for a Do-Over I think I would have enjoyed the Coast Guard more. Looking back on my experience I feel that saving life trumps taking life. happy being an enlisted man Nothing wrong with being enlisted. I guess there is a perception in the civilian world that Officer > Enlisted. Because like in that world Boss > Worker (In as much as the Boss has seniority usually as well as "rank"). But it isn't like that in the military. In the military it is just two different career paths. If you intend on having a command of any kind then you want to go in as an Officer. I have had to shepherd a few Ensigns that had more pimples than the E-2's and E-3's they were commanding. I just didn't really understand what the Coasties did when I signed up. But when I was in we would sometimes be involved in joint exercises. I was very jealous. They generally didn't go out for long ass deployments. They were usually based in awesome ports. Many of them actually saw more action than we did doing interdiction missions and as I said the focus there is more toward saving lives. Of course it may just be a case of the grass is greener but whatever. You Still Married Then? Or did she leave you for a level 50 Wizard with a bigger Staff? What i thought. Of course NOT! In the Glorious PC Master Race (Praise GabeN) it becomes a Battlestation. HOWTO Beat a Dead Mouse It's no secret that Joel Zimmerman, better known as deadmau5, likes cars. He likes them so much in fact, that he can't stop buying them. From his Purrari to his newly acquired McLaren 650S, J.Z. has been on a spending spree and he's not done yet. deadmau5 has just purchased a McLaren P1 for the hefty price tag of $1,150,000. The car is actually one of three new hybrid "super-cars" on the market The P1 utilises an upgraded variant of the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine from the 12C designed to now deliver 727 hp at 7,300 rpm and 531 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This internal combustion engine is then mated to an electric motor delivering a further 176 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque leading to a total of 903 hp and 664 lb-ft. Deadmau5 will be receiving the car in March. Read more at http://www.youredm.com/2014/10/06/deadmau5-buys-1-million-hybrid-supercar/#uXO7Y P6cMUCIzoVb.99 Then today Joel announced that he purchased an estate in Campbellville, Ontario. A 14,000 sqft mansion for $5 million. But with its swimming pool, 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and 118 acres of land, it appears to have been well worth the price. Not too shabby for the "dead mouse guy".

So, according to Fish & Game, the moose now belongs to me. Sweet!! So, if you want a free moose, please come and get it before the bears do. You could use it for dog food, or stuff it and put it your front yard, bear bait, whatever. If you live in the lower 48, this might be your best opportunity to get a free Alaska moose. I dont really care, I just want it out of my yard. Please reply via email, I dont need all the animal rights folks calling me, its dead, and according to Fish & Game, its got no more rights... Location: Anchorage it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests post id: 673017049 At one point in his life my bro.-in-law was a cop In Newfoundland. He's done a lot of differnt jobs but anyways. His wife at the time--real cute little thing--she was from Eureka over there on the left coast. So like the climate is a bit different I think I don't know. So she's telling me about how they were living in this little cabin in the woods type situation there in Newfoundland. She's on the toilet and the window is open, it's snowing. I don't recall why the window was open but anyway. So she's sitting there doing her thing and she says all of sudden it gets a little darker and she feels this warm breeze right? So she looks up and there is this HUGE FUCKING MOOSE with his head in the window looking at her. She tells me it was a damn good thing she was already on the toilet because . . . well, I'm sure you can imagine why it was a good thing. She said she screamed so loud the neighbors came running thinking someone had broken in and was attacking her. She didn't know who was more scared after that, her or the moose because when she screamed he hauled ass. I haven't seen her in a very long time. Her and her husband didn't stay together long. I'm pretty sure I saw that video already And I meant she was from Eureka, Ca. on the left coast of the US. How they met I really don't know because he's originally from La. My wife's family all have names that end in -deaux. LOL, I know some of them also. Myself I'm a native Texan, born and raised. But everybody knows that I reckon. Don't know how I was lucky enough to get hooked up with a red-headed cajun. It sure has been interesting though. 33 years today. HOWTO Drink A Grey Goose Bottoms Up! Solution Let him use a holodeck and he can Simulate living in a huge mansion and driving expensive cars. He can use replicator technology and simulate eating fine cuisine. Your vision of the future is predicated on everyone being like you. Requiring others to provide for your needs. I want a future where everyone can be themselves, without affecting anyone else (who doesn't want to be affected). I don't value what you do now. In the future, I hope to continue not to value anything you do. Didn't you say something like that to me recently? Mike doesn't want a handout. He wants to provide for himself. You pretend to be his champion and defender. But he doesn't need you to defend him. He is 10x more of a man than you can ever be. And I don't know who withery is But you need to fucking comment you cowardly bitch. Don't just fucking zero rate. No he or she never says a fucking thing Only time I ever see that username is just to zerorate trane. That makes the little shit a coward. If the pussy doesn't want to argue it can just crawl back into its festering piss hole. Maybe so but that don't make the fuck any less of Probably ain't even human. Just some stupid bot. mourning the death of her husband Dude, sometimes people just like to do shit a certain way. I take it she isn't really a very young person? Perhaps she feels it unseemly for a man to do dishes. Perhaps she doesn't feel like you would clean them the way she wants them cleaned. You realize that you are doing the same thing to her that you complain about kurons doing to you? When they observe your behaviour and infer that you must be 'manic' or 'off your meds' or any of the other armchair diagnosis they provide. And you assert that they're talking out of their ass right? But here you are doing the exact same thing to this woman. Step out of yourself and think about that for just a minute. I don't know, I would just be guessing. Perhaps her husband took care of financial things and she took care of household things. So maybe she just doesn't grok the money side and the rest is from habit? Hell, who knows? You haven't been there long maybe you can hash this out over time. Hopefully something will come along that will keep you going so you have the time to hash it out.

Many of those missiles may not work anymore. Preventive maintenance is not the same as it was in your Dad's day or mine. The majority were never intended to be used. Thier mere existence was supposed to be a deterrent. It worked. As for that other stuff I remember it well. Early 80's was when I was haze grey and underway. I trained on a lot of that kind of shit and more. Of course maybe they don't need that shit anymore. You know? I really can't say. Just DARPA has some freaky smart motherfuckers. What if you just like shot a rod of something from space? Lots of kinetic energy there. Hard to detect, hard to deflect. Makes a big ass hole with no fallout. WOAH. I don't know anything I just shuffle papers. I'm like Sgt Schultz when it comes to this kind of thing. There have been numerous times in my life that I have wished I was as simple minded as my many red neck neighbors. They seem so happy. I hate people who are constantly on the fence about important issues. Why can't they just make a damn decision? It's the hype. You built up OggFrog. It was going to be this multi-cross platform run on anything, zero-bug, super saiyan software. You made web sites. Went on and on and on. For LITERALLY Years. Then all of sudden when you couldn't deliver you changed course and started saying you didn't really give a fuck it was all about driving traffic to your site for Ad monies. THAT IS WHY YOU GOT RIDICULED. You were like K5's version of Duke Nukem Forever. Then you started coming up with all these half-baked projects. You were going to do something musically and go to Carnegie Hall. Then you were going to teach 3rd world kids how to program and on and on until WarpLife. And again with the Hype. We didn't start the fire. You did. That's why you get shit because it has now been decades worth of promises and hype and no delivery. I don't think anyone really cares if you ship or not. It's just your hubris and bombasity that provides such an inviting target for scorn. Hard to remember But I think he got shit when he first started posting. Everyone thought he was just a spammer using K5 to get traffic. (Which he was and admitted to doing but he did get a LOT of stories voted to FrontPage back then.) But I do know it wasn't long before he developed a Gay4Crawford following. He's the only person that I know of to have his account ban-hammered and then reinstated due to popular K5 demand between the time he logged out, went to sleep, and woke up the next day. It's working You just learned something . . . Serious Stupidity We have how many states exactly that have legalized or at least decriminalized Marijuana? But even still, in some back-ass-wards redneck, jesus fearing, confederate flag waving, state they spent enormous amounts of money, resources, and time. and the result was EPIC FAIL Dwayne Perry of Cartersville, Georgia was awakened by a helicopter flying low over his house Wednesday and then some heavily-armed deputies and a K-9 unit showed up at his door. They were from the Governor's Task Force for drug suppression and they were out looking for marijuana plants. Perry says the officers ended up apologizing to him. What they had seen, apparently, were Perry's okra plants and a shrub at the end of his house. Patrol Capt. Kermit Stokes says the plants did have characteristics similar to marijuana. Perry says people keep asking him about the officers at his house, and he worries that his reputation has been damaged. Sure looks like pot to me! OH THAT IS A POT! A Pot of OKRA, my bad! Keeping Georgia safe from the scourge of okra! That there is a gateway vegetable I tell you what! Next thing you know they'll be eating Beets or Brocolli! But what of the War on Okra? Hopefully the officers will never walk into a candy factory. "Patrol Capt. Kermit Stokes says the candy did have characteristics similar to meth". And apparently that purpose involves harassing law-abiding citizens growing legal, healthy and somewhat tasty vegetables correct? Because you can never have too many white asian christians. But GAWD forbid we allow any vegetables in MY AMERICA! I heard that there Michelle Obama likes vegetables. So therefore EATING VEGETABLES IS SOCIALISM! LOL Pot Tax My cousin, a pastor in Canada, sent me this link to a YouTube video believing it to be relevant to my interests. You may also enjoy it.

"Not that powerful" IT MAKES YOU BLEED OUT YOUR ASS I REPEAT, BLEED OUT YOUR ASS Actually this situation is even better You have the threat of a mass pandemic fueled by the 24hr cable news cycle hungry for any scrap they can feed on but without all the pesky dead bodies everywhere. WIN WIN Ask K5: Is sex with a transgendered person gay? I don't even know if that is the correct term. As you are aware I am an elegant gentleman from a more civilized age. I have only in the last decade or so come to somewhat understand lesbians and gay men. But this stuff the young folks are into these days . . . with the whats into whos and the wheres and with the things . . . it buggers belief. What brings me to the question is a webcomic that I frequently enjoy, "Questionable Content". The comic is pretty much about the life of Marten Reed and his 'pet' robot, 'Pintsize'. It also follows the doings, goings, and comings of Marten's friends. As the title of the strip implies, the creator, Jeph Jacques sometimes explores some strange relationships. For example Marten's mother is a Dominatrix. His father is homosexual and recently got married to his boyfriend. But in the current storyline there is a girl, Claire Augustus. Claire used to be a male. Now Claire is a female. Not all the characters in QC are aware of this but Marten is. Now Claire and Marten seem to be getting romantically involved. I find myself strangely uncomfortable with this situation for a number of reasons. I say strangely because I have learned over time to be much more tolerant of folks sexual orientations. Especially after I realized that in most cases it is none of my business and secondly the realization that MY heterosexuality is not threatened in any way. Also strange is that these characters are completely fictional. They don't represent actual persons and the strip itself is absolutely fictional. It has robots and ghosts and other weird shit from time to time. Even still, my "gut" tells me that something is not right with this relationship. It's not a rational thing on my part at all. My 'gut' tells me that this type of thing is not just gay but BEYOND gay. What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a man? Is it enough to just remove the male parts and tack on the female parts to 'BE' a woman? What about the other way? How does THIS kind of thing fit in with how it seems most people think about Evolution? How does getting your genetalia 'reassigned' square with you guys that think that it is all about survival of the species and procreation and all that? During last nights shower (When I do some of my deep thinking while the hot water sluices across my muscular form) I thought about this and I believe you have targeted the very thing with which I am uncomfortable. VIRTUAL BALLS I mean, she used to have them. Now she doesn't. But if they end up having sex--based on the last panel in the current strip I think that will be very soon--then 'theoretically' balls would be touching. So that must be why I am uncomfortable. Ghost Balls. Thank you Mr Obvious Your contribution is appreciated! No one of any evolutionary consequence I'm sure I think I was referring to the entire K5 userbase Evolution has thrown up her hands at all of us. Good comment But it raises the question, what makes a 'normal woman'? They used to say, "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it MUST be a duck." Well, here we have a case of it walking like a duck and quacking like a duck. But is it really a duck if it used to be a goose? Does it make a difference in it's duckiness if we don't know that it used to be a goose? Is it a duck if it still has some goose bits? How far along the goose <--->duck spectrum does it have to be before we feel like it is a normal duck? Are you referring to Martine Rothblatt? Or Meg Whitman? because I'm pretty sure Meg does all the things you list in your second paragraph. Annise Parker would probably do it too but I don't think her wife would approve. I didn't know who Martine was until I was trying to figure what term to use. They have all this weird CIS shit going on now and I'm not in the scene. I ain't interested in the porn or nothing. This entire diary was really about the comic strip making me feel uncomfortable and I just couldn't figure out why. Anyways, the web tells me that this Martine is like the highest paid CEO but used to be a dude. Meg Whitman of course is the CEO of the former Hewlett-Packard, soon to be Hewlett-Packard Enterprises. Annise is the current mayor of Houston Tx. She recently married her life-partner Kathy Hubbard a few months ago. She has been elected three times which is a damn achievement for an openly gay woman in Blood-Red Harris County. I don't know what point I was trying to make with my original reply. I think I was thinking it was humorous or something. I've completely forgotten. Got tied up with other shit. Exactly why I made a Diary about it In all cases previously I have never been bothered by the sexuality of fictional characters whether on screen or in comics or movies. Even real-life relationships don't bother me. They did when I was younger. I attribute that to growing up in the South. But the Internet has challenged and changed a number of my preconceptions. So it was a strange feeling that I was bothered by this particular storyline. I wanted to know why. I wouldn't ask on Facebook but here on Kuro5hin.org where one can discuss the financial difficulties of server administration in one post and link to an image of the shit one took this morning in the other I had no problem exploring that feeling. Thank you for contributing. Well technically you won't lo . . . Oh shit what am I doing arguing with a fool? My Pet Peeve: Fines for Punishment It has always struck me as fundamentally unfair that we impose fines as a form of punishment. Take the case of Alice. Alice gets pulled over for speeding. She is issued a ticket. However, Alice has a very good job. At some point in her day she goes to a website and using her credit card she pays the fine. To her the fine is a minor inconvenience. Percentage wise the cost is no more than a decent meal for her family at a local eatery. In fact the time and hassle of being momentarily detained is more of a detriment to future violation of the law than the fine is. Bob has also been pulled over for speeding. He is issued a ticket for the very same amount as Alice. But Bob doesn't have quite as good a job as Alice. His credit cards are all maxed out and the cost of the ticket is a significant percentage of his income. Bob is unable to just go online and charge the fine to his card. In fact he decides that the only way to be able to afford it is to sign up for a defensive driving course which will take up a large amount of his time. Same violation. Same punishment. But big difference in the results. Further, using fines as punishment encourages law enforcement to issue more tickets and perhaps engage in less than honest dealings with the public in order to increase revenue rather than to deter crime. No, I did not get a ticket or anything like that. Not recently anyways. I was just thinking about this yesterday and I think that it is really not fair nor reasonable to a very large portion of our population. That is truly news to me. I was not aware of that. Very interesting. Well, corporations are people now So by Supreme Court logic if a corporation kills someone then the corporation itself should be jailed, prosecuted and if doing business in a state that supports Capital Punishment, executed. Sure would change a lot of those automotive recall calculations. Not just Ferguson but Everywhere USA And it's used to keep the poor in jail. Someone that has the cash or credit to post their bail gets booked and goes home. The broke sumbitch gets a cot, an orange jumpsuit, and 3 squares a day. (PB&J Sandwich counts as a "square meal") Until the Judge figures out what to do with his broke ass. I thought you said Raygun proved Deficits Don't Matter? Why would he have to distract from something that didn't matter? No I really disagree with you on this one Edmund Trane. The War on Drugs is now and always has been simply one of a number of 'Fronts' for the ongoing War on People with No Money especially Non-White People with No Money. It has been waged in various forms for the last 200 years. Hello! I'm Evolution And in my ongoing effort to create a more optimal species I have decided to engineer the following changes. Mostly these will affect the male of the species. First off, there is absolutely no benefit to survival for males to have any sentience whatsoever. Since they are so sex focused and driven entirely by the urge to merge we're just going to ditch that resource hogging brain of yours. Who needs it? You all admit you do the majority of your thinking with your 'other head' right? So let's just get rid of that. Second, I'm going to put your nads in your mouth. From now on whenever you stick your toungue in a females mouth you will ejaculate. The female can control whether or not she is impregnated by either swallowing or spitting. Men will still be strong and aggressive and driven to provide for a female but we can acomplish that with instinctual drives. We will alter the lifespan of the male from 50 plus years to oh about 7 to 15. This is long enough for the dude to provide for a gestating female and to provide for his progeny. Then he is gone. Some males will be able to be trained like a puppy to not piss or shit in the house and perform minor household tasks like taking out trash, washing dishes, changing a diaper, etc. Otherwise they'll mostly just eat, sleep, and be available for procreation. Ha! Not much change there! I hope that you are not too inconvienced by these changes. Have a wonderful day! - The Goddess Evolution I don't follow their argument I'm a science fiction fan. We have several kurons who are self published authors. Much of what they have written contains information that is scientifically wrong. Even big name high dollar authors have published stuff over the years that is inaccurate and wrong. Finally, each and every day a certain news outlet that starts with an F and ryhmes with COCKS broadcasts information that is inaccurate and wrong. It is the responsibility of the reader to consider the source of inforrmation and act accordingly. Or you can just go join the nearest Prepper Tea Party Circlejerk and Bar-B-Que and go nuts. That bitch of yours. You know, the Governor, the CDC guy, hell all of 'em come out. "Oh don't worry we got it all under control!" Well everyday since I notice the numbers keep ticking upwards. First it was 'just the guy'. Then it was oh just twenty to twenty-five people that the guy came in contact with but we got them all rounded up. Y'all are all safe. No outbreak here no sir. Then it was 50 that might've been exposed. Then it was maybe a hundred that they were keeping track of. I think they are up to something like 250 maybe 300 they are keeping an eye out on now. But it is all under control. Don't worry. Well I wasn't worried. Well then they had two down in Houston but they said it's cool because they tested negative. No worries. But just a minute ago on TV they say they have a confirmed case but it is "low risk". If another one shows up in Austin or San Antonio we just might need to build that wall Ol Rick wants so bad. Only thing is I reckon he might end up on the wrong side of it. You are the idiot I'm not even that smart but yet I can read. The dragons obviously already knew that "At least one of them has green eyes." That is because they can see the other dragons eyes. However, they cannot see their own eyes so as far as they know they may be the only non green eyed dragon in existance. But nw this stranger has appeared who is not a dragon. So you have to work out LOGICALLY does anything interesting happen because of what you told them and if so what is it about what you told them that provides new information? You're as bad as trane wanting to weasel out of using your Brain and solving a problem instead hoping you can find an easy solution on the web and complaining that the instructor is mean. HERE IS YOUR GOVERNMENT ISSUED BASIC INCOME "A" Now go and run nekkid thru the woods mumbling about thermodynamic economic theory, lighting your crackpipe with a magnifying glass and explaining to the woodland creatures how debt doesn't matter. Can You Solve The Hardest Logic Puzzle in the World? So, the website IO9 which is a part of that Gawker femdom SJW network but is cool because they focus on SciFi shit is adding a new feature called 'The Sunday Puzzle'. I know how much kurons like their puzzles what with the Chocalate Chip Cookie Conundrum and Which K5 User Farted? Sunday Puzzle Number 1 is about Green Eyed Dragons. You can read about it in the article linked above or the Copy Pasted bit below the fold. Enjoy! You visit a remote desert island inhabited by one hundred very friendly dragons, all of whom have green eyes. They haven't seen a human for many centuries and are very excited about your visit. They show you around their island and tell you all about their dragon way of life (dragons can talk, of course). They seem to be quite normal, as far as dragons go, but then you find out something rather odd. They have a rule on the island which states that if a dragon ever finds out that he/she has green eyes, then at precisely midnight on the day of this discovery, he/she must relinquish all dragon powers and transform into a long-tailed sparrow. However, there are no mirrors on the island, and they never talk about eye color, so the dragons have been living in blissful ignorance throughout the ages. Upon your departure, all the dragons get together to see you off, and in a tearful farewell you thank them for being such hospitable dragons. Then you decide to tell them something that they all already know (for each can see the colors of the eyes of the other dragons). You tell them all that at least one of them has green eyes. Then you leave, not thinking of the consequences (if any). Assuming that the dragons are (of course) infallibly logical, what happens? If something interesting does happen, what exactly is the new information that you gave the dragons? The author, Robbie Gonzales says: This is not a trick question. There's no guessing or lying or discussion by or between dragons. The answer does not involve Mendelian genetics, or sign language. The answer is logical, and the dragons are perfectly logical beings. And no, the answer is not "no dragon transforms." Again, here is the link to IO9's Sunday Puzzle Number One In other news, Paul Revere is dead at 76. He passed away October 4th at his home in Idaho. Paul Revere and his band, The Raiders got their start in 1963 with a cover of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie". They scored four Top Ten singles in the Sixties with "Kicks," "Hungry," "Good Thing" and "Him or Me, What's It Gonna Be." Their biggest triumph came in 1971 with "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)." A cover of a John D. Loudermilk-penned track. It hit Number One on the Billboard chart in July 1971 and sold over a million copies. Thought for the day Thought for the day from one of the Greatest Fools Ever. Don't you just love that feeling? And then I just might have shown off a little. Yeah, just a little. You don't want to utterly crush them, just enough to make them a bit red in the face. You just ruined my whole day This is HollyHopDrive's Diary and this is her moment. Then you have to come fag it up with your unsolicited comment about yourself gloating about how "smart" you supposedly were back in HS. That is wonderful guy. I'm quite proud of how you were able to humble a mere teenager. Save it for your own diary though because I can assure you that no one else really cares. Because that was then and this is now. In other words, NOT IMPRESSIVE. You want to wow us? Ship that app you've been working on for a decade. I mean, it makes no nevermind to me if you do or don't. Really. But the truth of the matter is that you keep doing the talk but you ain't walking the walk. You see, what I'm trying to say is. In this situation you are the student that picks up the hoop and tells the instructor you know what you're doing but then you can't keep your hoop up. Now you can explain all day about how you used to hoop with six hoops on fire while juggling chain saws back in the day. Maybe that is true, maybe it is isn't. The fact is that you're not performing today. Does that compute bro? Have I clearly elucidated my argument well enough? LOL This site is leaving YOU for all time As a retired tech website who is currently living out its "golden years" playing host to trolls and the mentally ill, I have plenty of spare time. In recent years, too much of this spare time has been spent catering to your Diary. I have spent time upon time watching you leave, and I have done so because your booty is, quite frankly, truly juicy. And it has become clear that all of this longing has been in vain, because you are beyond hope. See ya in the spring Chuck? Love and XXX's - Kuro5hin.org I'm getting weeded out Hmmmm, poor guy. I'm sure that it is just because the Instructor is an Ignorant Motherfucker who just wants to be mean and score points with his bourgeoisie peers. A person who fails to grok that we in fact live in a post scarcity society and that knowledge should be freely shared and people shouldn't be forced to 'perform' for their amusement by completing tests and compete for 'grades'. Fuck teachers. They should just give out the answers. Why do they force you to think and solve "problems" on your own? Those problems have already been solved countless times. It is just to satisfy their sick amusement and to exert power and control over the poor student. Government should intervene here and give everyone a Basic 'A'. Now this is HOW you get your Railroad Tycoon ON I would go to that park. For realz. Oh and NOT MINE BTW And I TypED rAILROAD WHEN i MeAnt Roller COASter. ROLLER COASTER . . . of Love!

Boy this K5 sure has gone down the crapper usedto be tech from the trenches now its trolls on the toilet Well, No headache this morning I count that as a Big Win! In fact just a bit dehydrated but otherwise feeling chipper. In other news, browsing reddit, I came acrosspossibly the gayest image in history. Some neckbeard proposing to his similarly bearded boyfriend on the bridge of the Enterprise. No, not the Aircraft Carrier, the fucking NextGen Enterprise. Jesus. That is a LOT of gay packed in there. enjoyable for a few hours HAHAHAHA LOL, pull the other one, it has bells on it. I'm not surprised that you are sick of sex. I imagine just the dry cleaning bills for you to get the blood out of your clown suit is a serious expense. Maintenance on your 'Free Candy' van has also got to be a huge burden along with trying to locate those Bubblegum flavored Trojan Micro Condoms. If you want to go the Asexual route you can always talk to LilDebbie. Also help is available. There is now an entire movement devoted to asexuals and their problems. I saw a thing on reddit or maybe mefi just a few days ago. I would give you the link but I didn't save it. I'm still enjoying Living La Vida Loca. But I'm sure a quick search on either site would set you right up. At least you would be doing those poor Jr High and Middleschool girls a favor. Here's the thing YOU ARE ALL WRONG Everyone talks about 'Evolution' like there is a Supernatural Force that is like ticking shit off on a checklist and then going in like an engineer and and rewiring and making improvements. Another thing that is often implied in thinking about evolution is that there is always movement towards a new and improved model. It just doesn't work like that at all. There is no backwards and no forwards. It's just fuck it let's get drunk and throw some dice and see what fucking happens. Only people always want to have a 'pattern'. Any perceived 'purpose' is just an illusion created by our own selves. 35mm fucks the dogshit out of digital Except ease of use and cost of film and developing. I have a Hasselblad that takes gorgeous photos but for most shit I'm just going to use the camera on the phone. Fuck, it ain't going into no museum or art gallery just facebook or something. I'm sorry, . . . as evolution does not favor them casting the ova to the wind . . . You're doing the same thing. EVOLUTION DOESN'T CARE It neither favors nor disfavors. If it did then how do you explain those aquatic species that lay eggs all out in the water and the males swim through spewing clouds of sperm and shit? Then the birds and other fish come and FEAST on all the freaking fish eggs floating around? How do you explain those bugs where the females have perfectly functional sexual organs but the males NEVER use them? Instead their penises are like daggers and they literally stab the female in the abdomen and shoot their wad? Why is it that human males have ENORMOUS PENISES with respect to our size compared to other primates? Yes, they did EVOLVE that way but it wasn't because Goddess Evo 'favored' big cocks. So the woman cares But evolution does not. Shut Up Nigger Next thing you'll be wishing NIWS would drop in for a visit. 'DOH, uh jeez, we don't have enough people shitting up the Diary section. Sure do miss those ranting screeds and bitchin bout being on disability and stupid wimmins.' If you're curious, you know his name and you know where he lives so you could always search the obits. That is if it troubles you so. Been there Didn't see any "poisonous sea snakes" (although I didn't go swimming) but indeed there is very little to do. WOW, The Internet is Over First it was Slashdot/Dice doing the damned thing and then today I popped in to read MeFi and the Blue has turned White. Didn't anyone learn ANYTHING from the failure of Win8 Slashdot and all this other Designed-for-Mobile shit? FUCK YOU STEVE JOBS AND YOUR IOSHIT I guess we can expect Reddit will be next for a facelift. In other news, It seems that Microsoft has chosen the name Windows 10 because of legacy code. Specifically there is a version test used by several programs that date from the Windows 95/98 days. The check would look for 'Windows 9' rather than the whole thing. In order to promote bass-ackward combat-ability it was decided to just jump to 10 instead of having to rewrite all that shit. Yeah, I deducted the cost of my steam account and all the vidya games I have played in the last year. Totally cool. I also deducted the cost of all the liquor and pot I consumed as "Medicinal". No worries. My tax advisor is the same one that Wesley Snipes uses. They've saved me a ton on taxes. It is a little strange that their offices are in a former PizzaHut located at the strip mall but what the hey? Yeah they had a fork or split like back in USENET days. Dude started a new games subreddit because of all the bullshit on the regular one. But yeah Internet Drama has always been highly entertaining no matter what the era or forum. Speaking of Reddit they just got $50Mil in investor cash. I was surprised at some of the angels (is that the right term?) Jared Leto and Snoop Dogg among others. Thay are discussing some way that users could obtain ownership of reddit. Imagine if rusty let us grandfathered users have part ownership of K5? Intel pulls ads from Gamasutra Under pressure from Gamergate supporters I GOT THAT BOOM BOOM POW DEM CHIKUNZ JACKIN MUH STYLE DEY TRIES TA COPY MUH SWAGGAH I'SE ON DAT NEXT SHIT NOW I SO TREE TOUSAN IN ATE YOU SO TWO TOUSAN N LATE I GOTS DAT BOOM BOOM BOOM DAT FUTURE BOOM BOOM BOOM Objectively Bad Obviously because they're not MADDEN I suspect. I always thought it meant Tuna. Chula Vista Expensive Tourist Trap CSS Cock Sucking Shithead You Fool Internet startup where people send in videos of themselves bullshitting randoms out of their hard-earned money. It's fucking hilarious. Would you like to invest? Seriously they're going to be bigger than AOL man, on the cool. See! All you GUN-GRABBERS will be thankful for us TEXANS and our Religious Reverence for the Second Amendment. When the Zombie Outbreak starts here in Dallas, the citizens of The Great Republic of Texas will be ready. HEADSHOT! BOOM! Yeeeeee-HAWWW!!! On the cheap Wouldn't condoms filled with infected blood and tossed, perhaps trebuchet style, work? I don't know how cheap they are but around here some folks don't like to wait for the GUBMINT to spray for skeeters and such. So they have a plastic barrel in the bed of a truck with a pump and a sprayer from home depot. It puts out a fine mist they drive it around the property or whatever. Ebola-chan giggles. Well, I know this is like one of your wet-dreams come true and you've probably been rock-hard and dripping ever since you heard the news. But I reckon we'll do alright. Country boys can survive rattlesnakes, stinging skorpions, mad cows, TEX-MEX cooking and country girls. I reckon a little ebola ain't gonna be much of nothing. Just wrap that shit up in a poultice of Red Man chewing tobacca and they'll be right as rain. Well a shotgun ain't gonna have AoE either Even with a wide choke. So, maybe something like a condom bomb with some kind of like firecracker or squib-type device. Something you could set a fuse. Load it in your trebuchet or hell just a standard nigger shooter, but I was thinking you might get more distance with the trebuchet plus less likelyhood for 'blowback'. Launch it or hell launch a bunch at one time. Pop 'em in air over the target and you might get a nice dispersal. I'm not going to get a visit from the Men In Black for commenting in this thread am I? To Whom It May Concern in the NSA, my comments are all just speculation, fiction and falsehood for entertainment purposes only! I remember some guy Malatesta or something that got a visit for some stupid comment he made here waaaay back in the day. Just make sure you ain't facing into the wind Gov Perry is on TV talking about it Right Now Seems that the guy was in contact with some kids. They have em locked up in quarantine now. He's talking about steps Texans can take to protect themselves. Turns out we JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A SECRET CDC EBOLA RESEARCH LAB HERE with highly trained and experienced researchers already available to assist the state with this problem. The guy in charge of Health and Safety says they have been prepared for some time and just said they have been expecting just this type of event since the beginning of August. Dude's condition is serious but stable. They have the hospital guy up talking about why the dude was released. Reporters are asking questions but he keeps saying I can't give you that information. His main excuse is that the relevant info wasn't "communicated throughout the clinical team" so a clinical decision was made to release the guy. Now they have law enforcement saying that if the families in quarantine do not 'follow their suggestions then more stringent methods may be implemented' They have a judge on call. Now there is another Hospital guy apologizing for dropping the ball. Now Perry is back saying it's all cool. The book was good The movie gave me nightmares for years. I saw it at the theater when it was released. That was some seriously scary shit back then. I still remember most of the scenes in it even though I haven't watched it in several years. Watched 2001 at the Southwood in Austin My buddy Lawrence and I went. We were huge HUGE fans of Clarke. You seem to manage well enough Must be all that banging on typewriters I hear about you and your buddies doing. No I didn't see the fine film. I was referring to the Infinite Monkeys typing out Shakespeare and the fact that you seem to manage to communicate well enough. (Hahaha, juvenile humor. For my next trick I will tell a fart joke then talk about your mom.) Large swaths of the Internet have become unhelpful. You do a Google search on an issue. It leads you to a tech discussion forum where you see the exact issue being asked about and below it the best answer is "Google It!" GIGO - Garbage In Google Out Are you trying to say That "In ISLAMIC CALIPHATE Religion embraces YOU!"? ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD OF THE TWIN MOONS VIGOROUSLY TOUCH FLIPPERS CONSUME NOW CONSUME IT RUB IT ON YOUR FLIPPERS Is Del Griffith an Enemy of the State? So I hear that there is a big Tiananmen Square incident going down in the big HK right now. Protesters out in the streets in defiance of Beijing. Rampant censorship to keep the protest from reaching the mainland. Govt officials locked down in bomb-proof bunkers. Riot police out curb-stomping vagrants, rabble-rousers and looters. Cats sleeping with dogs, rats leaving the ship, fire and brimstone raining down. Total chaos! I note that the 'You can have my OS/2 when you pry it from my cold dead fingers' hasn't posted in awhile. Could it be he is a guest in some Hanoi Hilton being water-boarded, detesticularized, and generally debriefed for being a filthy Westerner spreading tales of democracy, and first amendments and shit? Daring to spawn the children of the Great Satan on the innocent and pure Daughters of the World City? WTF is going on over there? I tried to check CNN but they're just going on about some missing white girl and that guy that invaded the White House. Also a very disturbing story about how More Americans have moved to TEXAS recently than any other state. WTF??? We don't mind you visiting but god damn, between the snowbirds and the wetbacks there ain't gonna be no Lonesome Prarie no more. Not to mention that I-45 and I-35 are already turning into a fucking Parking Lot. So, Monday. What a bitch huh? Did everybody take a vacation in Hong Kong and forget to invite me? Is it the Zombie apocalypse? Have I been shadow banned from K5? Sure is quiet around here. just enjoy my own mind something everyone should do more often Police Medic This will only sting a little bit. You'll be right as rain in no time! How would you like to curl up with this in your bed? So warm, so soft. The most loyal of companions. Hey! get your mind out of the gutter, it's a puppy dog you pervert! They expect me to believe a black man at a water park. Confessions of a 'former' Internet Troll Get off my lawn! Dept. When he did it it was all fun and games. The kids these days have no respect for the art. No, that was the Native Americans pardner Tejas, it means "friends". And I think the French were there before the Mexicans. It's hard to say. Wikip tells a different tale than what was taught in my Texas History class. Funny thing. Texas History was covered two years in a row when I was in school but US History was only one year and World History was half a year. It's all because of the Democrats. They're responsible for everything wrong. That's what they tell me anyways. Chingadera Believe it or not in the 60's to early 80's a man could get in his truck and go from Temple down to San Antonio and never have to slow down. Dallas and Houston has always been hell though. In the article on CNN they said they are coming for our JERBS. Austin they said was the fastest growing and had the lowest unemployment 4.6% and a median income of $75k. Second reason was affordable housing. The median home price being around $240k. That's what they said anywho. Doctorate from Berkeley There's the problem right there. You still probably should've come. Austin is no backwater. There are numerous companies doing SERIOUS RESEARCH and SERIOUS BUSINESS. Plus Austin is a quirky town. It ain't no Berkeley. It has its own style and brand of weird. Just think, you might have come here and got work and you and Bonita would still be together. You might never have been homeless. You might be a well respected researcher in your own right. It's funny how life can turn like that on a single throw of the dice. I can understand, you probably felt more comfortable going back to your roots on the West Coast than taking a chance on the Third. But it is interesting to contemplate. How would your life be different now had there been no Enigma . . . ask if you can have some? I'm not following your argument, care to ELUCIDATE? I mean, I can take your comment two ways I reckon. Either you have coined a new and extremely K5 way to say "Kill Yourself". Or perhaps you intend that I could employ said Ebola to uh ur ". . . decrease the surplus population."? I don't have a clue BUT Liberia sure seems to be right there in that part of Africa where most civilized peoples do not want to be. As for there being a carrier for whom the infection is not fatal, you're not talking about maybe Bill and Melinda Gates are you? Maybe Brett and Angelina? Just making the world a better place for the beautiful people. I mean, they've already started their own human Ark so to speak. It would make a good movie anyways. Obama Seriously though, I know they accept foreign nationals. One of the things that surprised the shit out of me when I was in the Navy. Hell, one of my NCO's was from some shithole in South America. Half the Supply dept was from the South Pacific. I don't know how that all works though. I would have a hard time trusting someone like that in the field. Nah, all of them are way to clean and organized I have to clear shit off my desk before I can lay shit on my desk. Crap flows off the sides into the chairs. What do I care? I ain't never in it. I'm one of them coffee cup holding roaming the hall ignorant mother fuckers always bitching about the god damn cover sheets on the TPS reports. No I can still see the top of that desk. life is sure inconvienent for you. Always throwing up roadblocks to your personal satisfaction and desires. How dare they treat you this way. Why, if this world were truly just you would be honored as a God among men. The universe bending to your will. It is patently unfair. I don't know how I could ever find someone Do what Del did and go on an around the world drinking tour. He went from lonely and alone to having a whole family. It's like what they say about the lottery*, "You can't win if you don't play." *NOT saying it is LIKE the lottery, where you spend your last dollar and go home broke, alone, and with shattered dreams. NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL! No, that's just you and your jealous nature I have seen a trend with you getting insanely jealous to the point of attacking people, including myself, simply for them having things work out better or being more comfortable than yourself. You seem to imagine that anyone who isn't as radical as yourself must be suffering terribly and cannot possibly be happy. If they claim that they are happy then they must be lying just to fit in or impress our own peers. You take extreme pleasure in the misfortune of people like Brian Lazara for example. You can't stand it that other folks can get on with their life and enjoy themselves. You are still smarting from being banned from campus for smoking in the university library bathroom. That has become the defining moment of your life. A minor incident that occurred over a decade ago and you just cannot get past that insult to your pride. Point, set, match . . . why do my words on the friggin internet bother you at all? Never said they did champ. You are just a source of amusement for me because your jimmies are so easily rattled. If he's so happy, why does he slam Crawford? He has said why. You perhaps did not pay attention. One reason is that recently Mike claimed to be in the USMC which is not to be taken lightly. Are you happy? You seem to be ecstatic with Nimey's invitation to suck penis hanging off of every post you make, LOL. Jimmy status: EXTREMELY RUSTLED Tell you what. It's nearly October. Let's just see around Halloween, who has more hidden comments. You and your incisive wit and erudition or me and my lame insipid old-guy "comebacks". You flatter yourself with 'modbombers' like there are so many trolls holding you down. I give you one thing, the laughs never stop with you. Oh I know! SOLUTION: Have society provide for all of lil trane-y's wants, needs, and desires seeing as how he is, like a small child, utterly incapable of providing for himself. It can't be any worse than Somewhere (2010) That has to be by far the worst film ever. It's like watching your neighbors vacation videos. You would expect something to happen. But nothing ever does. At one point Dorf and his daughter are being followed by a van. Turns out to be a coincidence. You would expect them to fight but no they get along just fine and he's very supportive of his daughter. There is some mild sex but it is uninspired and hollow. It's just a mundane day in a mundane life. Nothing like the tag line at all. Says more about the marketing than the film. And what did they expect with a name like ZZyyXX or whatever? Everybody knows, you make the cover Blue and Orange and have a title like: Satan's Bloody Highway. Or Dead End to Death It does make you wonder who paid to see it. On reflection it does make you wonder who DID pay to see it. That is three adult admissions there. Six if it was a matinee. They didn't ask for their money back? Was it released in Colorado? BTW Did you watch it? How many horsecocks would you yourself award? well fuck, if it only made $30 then I doubt Anybody here saw it. true, but the film has to have someone to seed 1st Who is going to take the time and trouble to seed a $30 flick? Maybe it will show up on netflix. some guy who watched the movie might want to I hear you. But based on it's take very very few people watched it. Out of that number how many actually liked it? And out of that number how many liked it enough (or hated it enough) to seed it online? I have difficulty finding very popular films that were only released on VHS because I assume it is a major PIA to transfer those films to digital with any quality. I know I had an entire rig to do it back in the day to transfer my parents collection to SVGA and then later to DVD. It was a major PIA. I don't know how much that has improved. Even more difficult are Made-For-TV Movies from the 70's. It's just really hard to find them. I don't know about markets or players. One thing I see more often that I would like to see in both movies and music. A number of older games are being released for free. A percentage of which are released for free with source code. A lot of studios are starting to release games for free or heavily discounted. I'm not even talking about F2P where they end up making money from in-game purchases but actually free as in Gratis. "...all place the market in such reverence, it can do no wrong. Market signals override altruistism. If you didn't pay for it, it isn't worth anything. " All I can tell you guy is that maybe you hang out with the wrong people and maybe read / listen to the wrong people. Down here a lot of stuff is done share-alike. Markets and Shareholder value and ROI might as well be alien speak and the only Invisible Hand is the Hand of God. Just remember that the most educated guy in the room may not always be the smartest. And being smart doesn't make you right anymore than being the toughest guy in the room does. I have also seen that film. But then, it was a different world when you and I were teenagers than it is now. Lots of things allowed then, (alcoholism, smoking, racial stereotyping, misogyny, violence against women, homophobia, nationalism) that are verboten or frowned upon now while things that would NEVER get past the censors in those days, (nudity of any sort, adult language, homosexuality, graphic depictions of violence, casual drug use, etc.) barely raise an eyebrow these days. No, not really. Dorf does have a nice car and lives in Cali. I have a Chevy and live in Texas. He has a daughter and I have a (grown) son. He is an actor and I am not. So no, nothing like his life at all. Besides that their is little drama in his life. Nothing happens. No matter what I do there is always drama leaking in at the seams. My life would make a better movie. At least it features sex, drugs and murder. Sounds like you're more like Burt Ward If he was gay and addicted to crack and ran around nekkid in the woods. So I tried to watch this film Unfortunately, there were no seeders only leechers so I got to 65% and that was it. It wasn't enough to actually watch the movie but I got to see a good portion. It wasn't the worst actually. Production values were okay. Definitely not High School kid gets his first video camera. What dialog I heard wasn't great but wasn't even as bad as video cut-scene shit. It appeared to be a standard 90min horror film. Stars a dumb blonde that screams a lot. Her dude in shining armor who does stupid things. Suddenly a Tom Sizemore appears. I think he was supposed to be dead but now he's back or some shit. I lost audio and there was a lot of pixelation at this point so I don't know why or what he was doing. On VLC it looked like hero dude and Sizemore were fucking each other on acid. He seemed to be armed with a shovel and him and the dude went to investigate some mine or shack or something. Some shit happened that I couldn't see and then credits rolled. Based on this sample viewing I figure that it had to be the title of the film that is at the heart of the problem here. I can't give it any horsecocks but if you get a chance to see it you should if only to be able to say you watched the lowest grossing film of all time. You asked, I just tried to deliver what I could I'm sure if you lumped in every movie ever made then you would end up with crap that made a negative gross. But they don't get a mention on wikip or imdb either. Did CTS even release? I thought I read somewhere that he just OggFroged the project all together. To OggFrog - to completely abandon a project after years of considerable promotion and hype. Zen and the Art of Scooter Maintenance? House fly? The kind that enjoy laying their eggs in putrid shit? Getting pissed on would be the highlight of it's day. Personally, I think it is just one of those stickers Mgrs put in urinals to help "focus" the aim of drtunken clientele. Hey, I never troll. I'm the nicest guy on here. Not to mention they'll do the same to you if given the opportunity.

Indians winning to the tune 0f $544 M "It's monumental. This is the largest trust responsibility award from the United States in the history of Indian country. It will never completely redress the wrongs done to prior generations, but it's going to allow some opportunities for future generations," said Dana Bobroff, deputy attorney general for the nation. In May, an agreement was reached between members of the Navajo Nation, the U.S. Interior and Justice departments and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and will be sealed with a signing ceremony Friday at Window Rock Tribal Park in Arizona. According to the Department of Justice, the U.S. settled with 41 tribes for about $1 billion in April 2012. Since then, the government has focused on resolving other trust accounting and mismanagement cases. http://cw39.com/2014/09/25/navajo-nation-to-sign-554-million-settlement-from-u-s -government/ You are either a God or a Fool.

Gummie Worms. Cookies. Oils. Waxes. I have never before really been so far even as decided to use go want to do look more like in my life. And I WAS IN THE MOTHER FUCKING NAVY. I have noticed a trend on K5. You know that MEME: ". . . I don't watch TV. In fact, I don't even own one."? Yeah, well, we have the same thing going on here. This, "I don't get high, it doesn't work or interferes with meds, whatever." Ok we get it. It doesn't make you special. You don't get a gold star in the Book of Life because you don't inhale.

So, The Sims 4 then? netflix offers that tpb doesn't Not a damn thing except convenience maybe. Depends on your setup. I love Netflix because in the US I don't care to get my Internet cut everytime my ISP gets a DMCA alert and I have to jump thru a hoop to get it turned back on. Plus, mama can work the netflix on the blu-ray. And I can watch on my tablet if I'm out and about. Even still I have a handful of private trackers on speed dial for those UNAVAILABLE THINGS. I tell you what, some things are actually worse. Mama bitches cuz Supernatural on Netflix, (she loves her Sam and Dean), the soundtrack is not the same as the on-air version. In the NF copies of the show there is generic rock. But an important feature of Dean's '67 Impala is that it only plays Classic Rock; AC/DC, Kansas, Foreigner, etc. Who knows what other shortcuts and omissions they allow? With your J/O Buddy? Is one of these your ad? According to Forbes, The Deficit has Disappeared But it seems the Government doesn't want people to know. Actually it isn't gone but it is down to about $500 B which they say is 26% lower than last year and the lowest it has been since 2008. I Am Not An Economist so feel free to fact check this. I was just a little surprised What they actually mean by disappeared is that it seems to have disappeared as a political issue. The deficit has been such a corrosive and destabilizing issue over the past six years that the Treasury's report should have provided an excuse for all of the participants in the budget debate to say something about the numbers. Whether you like them and want to take a victory lap for the lowest deficit in six years, or hate them and want to criticize a deficit that still seems high in nominal terms, last Thursday presented the kind of rhetorical opportunity that in the past would have been too good for most people to pass up. Instead there was nothing. The federal deficit that was such a big issue the past few years that it led to a government shutdown caused no response whatsoever. On the day the Treasury reported, there was no statement (other than the Monthly Treasury Report that announced the August deficit) from at the two places where it might have been expected -- by the White House or Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. The cabinet official who has direct responsibility for the budget - budget director Shaun Donovan - didn't issue a statement on the OMB website either The administration wasn't the only one to go silent. None of those most likely to be critical of the deficit such as House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued a statement. The tea party leaders in the House and Senate were similarly silent. The deficit scold organizations that have been so active in the past like the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget also didn't issue a statement last Thursday. http://www.forbes.com/sites/stancollender/2014/09/16/the-federal-budget-deficit- has-disappeared-really/ Weird, all that hullabaloo and now nothing. It's like trane is right and they knew all along that deficits don't matter. God help us all. In other News: WTF IS ON MY SAMMICH? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/found-something-gross-mcdonalds-chicken-170438548. html Image of 'mystery sauce' included in article When the food arrived, I opened up the bun. I'm not sure why. When I looked inside, I saw there was a white substance on the pickles, the bun, and at the edge of the chicken patty. . . . I took the sandwich back to the counter. When I told the cashier without being explicit what I thought the substance looked like, she laughed and said it was "tartar sauce." ... The next morning, with the help of a friend and some Googling, I determined that the whatever was on my sandwich was definitely not tartar sauce. Remember folks, tip well and don't piss off your server. And check what's under the bun too. Never ASSUME. LOL Nancy Pelosi Does the Internet Shrug Better than McJobs Now this is just horseshit Republicans are the ones that push tax-cuts for the JOB CREATORS which is just a euphemism for RICH CAMPAIGN FUNDERS. No, they do not. You are lying and slanderous We've danced this dance before you and I. Let's not do it again. You have a right to your opinion but you do not have a right to twist the facts and weave a fantasy built on a tissue of lies. At least FOX NEWS works a little to spin shit. They don't just pull shit completely out of their ass. Yes Dems raise taxes and increase services for poor, lobbyists give to those in charge. All that makes sense. You saying that Dems keep the poor poor is horseshit. Go take a look at Kansas and see how a 100% Tea-Party / Republican policy works in Real Life. See how their governor is doing. Rednecks See West, TX. see Texas City, see Education level. Financially Texas is sound, and we don't have an Income Tax. But in Healthcare, Education, Environment, Pollution, Sprawl, etc. WE SUCK COCK. That is why I am a part of the movement to change it brother. Unless you consider the poor make over 250k and own businesses and oil companies (your first link) Second link shows a T-bill going to infrastructure and job training again helping poor and disadvantaged Last three all say that lobbyists are giving to those in majority but as the mid-terms come up the money is being funneled to REPUBS in hopes they'll take over. So yep'' You lose to THE FACTS, your very own. LOL Quit trying to BS a BS'er If you ever ran a small business . . . LOL So if this passes on Thursday Then we can expect to see a bunch of douchebags wearing skirts on FridaY I reckon. Oh well.

The Freedom Pope, persecuting Fake Jews to promote Incest . . . Wait What? Is this about the rampant pederasty in the Catholic Church? Time Cube Got Religion I disagree about good for business You don't want people terrified because then they don't spend they hoard. Sure there is some gouging opportunities and scarcity benefits at first but those are short term. Ideally you want folks happy with no cares for tomorrow so they feel free to get into debt and purchase extended warranties and what have you. This is why I agree with trane on basic income and legalized drugs. Not so he can indulge himself responsibility free but because it would be wonderful for business and our economy. Lots of happy people with a little extra coin in their pocket would benefit the country immensely. And cost wise it would be just like current business welfare just some of it would come indirectly to corporations rather than in the form of a tax break or direct check or souls per acre like Monsanto collects. The obstacle is Puritan ethics of 'you don't work then you shouldn't eat' and the oddly Soviet mind-set we evidently picked up during the cold war. The one where everybody is scared to death that some one somewhere is getting a little bit more than their "Fair Share". For a country that is so anti-socialist we sure do have a hardcore broke communist mind set. Otherwise, as unintuitive as a Basic Income is, once you actually look at it, it makes a helluva lot of sense and would be more efficient than what we currently do. Don't have to have people figuring out whether you need it or deserve it. Everybody gets it. Warren Buffet would get just as much as Michael Crawford. To Warren it wouldn't be no thing. It would be like handing him a quarter. Hell he probably gives more than that away in a typical day. But to a guy like Mike it could make one hell of a difference. (Not picking on you Mike you understand just you're the best example I could think of in this forum). Now some people think well prices would rise to consume that. But prices are rising whether or not BI comes into effect and then we got that damn minimum wage which everybody knows is going up just a matter of when not if. The prices will rise true but they're not going up so much that they completely consume the rise in wage. That's like the Baptists talking about gambling here in Texas. Blood was supposed to flow in the streets. Organized mobs everywhere you go. But after many years of having the lottery and gambling legal here, the biggest racket is still the Good ol' boys in the Capitol there in Austin.

I'm sure the kids had access to Food. Especially in a rural area. The problem is that when the parents are high on crack they tend to neglect little things like food preparation and things of that nature. Of course the kids should go online with their Macbook Pros and take a Basic Cooking MOOC but kids just aren't always as bright as you, nor do they have your initiative to improve themselves. They really can be such a pain. I think that what is needed here is the kids should be given a holodeck simulation where they can simulate all the food they could ever want along with simulating the love of parents that cared for them and basically just simulate a better life all together. This could be funded by the Government. Alternatively, if the parents would simply share their crack with the children then the kids would not be hungry either.

Watched it myself recently Revolves around a device that has the ability to record peoples experiences. The major use is porn of course. The guy 'dealing' the tapes is like an ex-cop and he gets drawn into this twisted murder and political conspiracy setup. I *know* I have watched this film But I couldn't remember it. So I went to IMDB and read the Full Summary and I still couldn't remember it although I remember that cover very well and I swear I watched it before. But trying to recall it just brings up clips of Dark City in my mind's eye. Weird? Glitch in my Matrix perhaps? Speaking of The Matrix. From IMDB's summary it seems The Thirteenth Floor is more like TRON meets Inception meets MIB 2. Seriously, half a horsecock, obviously a very forgettable movie. Done this myself many times. It truly is a disturbing experience. I don't quite understand. One of your links is bad "Permission Denied". But I'm think your point is that for this movie it appears one way in some ads and a totally different way in another ad? I'm aware that minor style change is often the case but in my experience most films do use a fairly consistent style across channels. Maybe this one is a fluke? One reason is like a big hit movie will come out and then in the dvd bin or Netflix there will often be titles that are very similar. It really pisses off the old lady when she queues one up and it isn't the film she expected. As a consumer of Beer, BBQ, Tex-Mex and Beans I welcome them to come give me a sniff test. If they dare.

I have to rile up the Base! Turn Texas BLUE. Yee-haw! You know, I ain't never been to California I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Fact a business, until that polecat snake-in-the-grass Bill Clements came along Texas was Blue. Although the truth is that Texas has always been for whomever would keep the niggers and the wetbacks in line. I want a Blue state because I'm sick of these stick up their butt Conservatives and retard redneck Tea-Partiers running shit. I don't give a fuck if I have to press 1 for English. God damn Austin Congress Critters can't wipe their ass without checking with the Baptist Pope or whomever runs that racket. And Fuck Ted Cruz.

I have an Android tablet but people always refer to it as an iPad. Google it, means do a search on an Internet search engine. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to use Google. Have a Kleenex, means here is some facial tissue to blow your nose. It doesn't have to be Kleenex brand facial tissue. iPad is becoming the generic term for any tablet like device. Be it an actual Apple iPad or Samsung or Nexus. Or just some other generic cheap chinese knockoff like MS Surface. Wonder what they expect to get from MineCraft? $2 BILLION DOHLLARS. That's a Lotta Cheese. . . Check out Dell's iPad Dell Venue 8 7840 Sometimes you really frighten me, I consider myself educated and fairly intelligent. However, sometimes reading a diary like this I wonder about all the things I think that I 'know' about that were I to type them out in a diary here would reveal to all the abyssal depths of my ignorance. Well, see, there you go Exposing my ignorance. You are the first and only person that I can recall telling me that Thermodynamics had fuck all to do with Econ. Perhaps you've been reading articles by folk that are embarrassed that Economics is a soft science compared to Physics which is a hard science. So in order to edumacate myself I did Hard and Deep Scientific Research (Google) and come up with "Thermodynamics applied to Economics" and it said thusly: Thermoeconomics is a school of heterodox economics . . . Heterodox economics refers to methodologies or schools of economic thought that are considered outside of "mainstream economics", often represented by expositors as contrasting with or going beyond neoclassical economics. So, uh handwaving and quackery? Why then are you wasting any time on this bullshit? What is next, you going to prove the moon isn't made of green cheese or what? There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch I agree with that. I don't see how it comes from Thermodynamics. Somebody somewhere had to 'pay' for that lunch. It's pretty obvious. Even if you start yelling about debt doesn't matter and all that. Somewhere somebody had to do something in order for that lunch to 'come to be'. It doesn't have to involve lifting mass in a gravitational field either. I think you just want to BELIEVE that you can get something for nothing. That is a WISH. Just like your Holograms and Final Solutions. Even with a Basic Income somebody has to implement the shit. If not then why do we need a Basic Income in the first place? If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. I think maybe you need to put down that magnifying glass and smoke a little less. Even in Nature, TANSTAAFL. Somebody is going to pay. Somedays it's the Windshield, somedays it's the Bug. I'm a big believer in Luke 12:27 but I know that the lilies came from something and it didn't involve lifting mass in a gravitational field either. (photons have no mass). So I think you are going the wrong way around the tree and my original comment in this diary stands. Bank A exists, Bank B exists They employ people. You say, 'the money came out of thin air! Free Lunch!' But that is because you only look at the money. Just like the fool eating the "free lunch". To that guy, hey free lunch. But it ain't because there is a whole infrastructure that exists to deliver that lunch. You focus on one part and go WOW! Magic! But it ain't. I've told you before You equate being foolish and being a fool with being stupid and being an idiot. This is not true. The fool can often be the most insightful person in the room. The idiot never is. Yes The parents won't be mad if your boy has learned to treat girls with some dignity and respect. I bet you were a pillow fucker I Assume we can start using his Name now? I mean, he's not likely to sue rusty anymore right? Angelfish has no 'pornstar' girlfriends He just tries to cover up that his girlfriends are all in middle school & Jr High. I suspect from his recent diary that another 12 y.o. broke up with him so he intends to go online and wank furiously to lolicon. You and Vinigga, are on THE LIST now. I think I may have Juvenile Hemorrhoids Yes I know fifty years old is a little late to be figuring this out. Perhaps "Hemorrhoids" is not the right word for it but I often do quite definitely have a pain in my ass. That is I have no need of Preparation H or other medicine. However there are actually many different kinds of pains in the ass. If I feel too much of any one type, or a little too much for too long, it affects me mentally. I first identified this when I was sixteen. I asked my mother not to put hippie granola crap in my lunch anymore. As much as I appreciated her affectionate effort, opening my lunch box and seeing that was such a pain in my ass I could not follow the fifth period lesson. My daddy, (who was NOT in the NAVY) but used Alcohol to live to a ripe old age. And his daddy who was a teetotaler and also lived to a ripe old age both of them experienced extreme pain in their ass at times. It's a goddamn mystery, like fucking magnets. Magnets even give me a pain in my ass. Some people claim that I am a major pain in their ass! But I reckon that is all in their own mind. Recently all hell broke loose mentally when I was in the slammer. "HELLO SHITHEAD!" shouted Deputy Sheriff. "Does your name tag say 'Sheriff' because you are a Sheriff, or because your name is Sheriff?" "Shut the fuck up and bend over Asshole!" The Deputies all love me. I'm very popular with the corrections people. They don't call it 'The Pokey' for nuthin'! Juvee Assboogers more likely. I got in touch with my inner self today I'm never using cheap toilet paper again. I know the difference between a scooter a motor scooter, a mobility vehicle and a moped. Because I have owned at least one of each at one point in time or another. Also mini-bikes, three-wheelers, and quad-runners. I have never owned an actual full size street legal motorcycle although I have ridden Yamahas, Hondas and Harley-Davidsons. I did have a little yellow Suzuki dirt bike for a little while. Right up until that goat incident anyways. When I was a teenager I was also proficient on horseback. In San Antonio my friends and I would go to this place called Kickers Korner and ride a bull or bronc. Lots of fun. I don't reckon I could do any of that now. TIT FOR TAT? Tit for Tat "An agent using this strategy will first cooperate, then subsequently replicate an opponent's previous action." I didn't know the origin of the phrase but Deep Scientific research (Google) says it comes from 'Aye, I shalt insert only mine tip for every tap of thine.' Or something like that. Basically it means whatever you do to me I will do to you likewise. TIT FOR TAT K5 Hookup Something shady 'bout them chickens Can't quite put my finger on it though. Panty Status: Twisted, Jimmy Status: Rustled You can have my double barrelled penis extension when you pry my cold dead fingers from around it. I would wash it off first but you're more'n welcome to it soon as I'm done . . . it won't be but a minute. Hardly, I'm happy as a pig in shit. I just wonder if dudes would get upset if groups of women shouted 'COCK!' at them all the time? I guess I'd have to ask Lil Debbie. Of course you have every right to be angry As well you have every right to tell people it's happening. The rest of that though, I don't know what response you expect. Maybe no response at all. (Keep my damn mouth shut) I am sorry you had that happen to you. My comments above are not intended to trivialize your experience. I only said anything at all because you appeared to attack k31 from out of nowhere. I continued, after you explained what you were angry about, not making fun of you but turning the joke on me. I am daft or well, clueless I guess. I don't have a parallel experience to draw on. I'm an old white male mother fucker so I have tons of privilege. Intellectually, I know how rough it is for women. I've seen that with my grandmother, my mother and even my wife. I couldn't put up with half the shit they do. Sure I can imagine it happening and how I would react if it happened in my presence or where I was in a position to do something about it. But I can't really imagine having to deal with that on a regular basis. Truthfully, I'm not much better than those dudes. While I wouldn't yell TITS at some woman I don't know, I'm also not going to fart at the dinner table. That is just rude shit and wrong. However I still am going to smile at the pretty girls and perhaps admire them. I'm going to tell dumb blonde jokes. I'm going to talk about the women on TV and I'm going to get smacked upside my head by my wife. How she has dealt with my bullshit for over 30 yrs I couldn't tell ya. Thanks for spelling it out That is not sarcasm. I really didn't see it the way you did and I doubt that many men would. Something I'm going to have to think about. Reminds me of that diner scene in Super Troopers Open your throat, relax the jaw and don't forget to cup the balls. U Fool, this has nothing to do with ObamaCare The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Will you stroke my ego too? I think the vandalism was committed by that Burger King mascot from TV. He is one creepy looking dude and likes to pull pranks. The evil SOB probably did it and then blamed it on somebody else. That Burger King dude, what a prick. At first reading I didn't realize your username was DavidTennantsTeeth and I thought it was a strange expletive that your boss used. In addition to getting towed I'm sure their would be a hefty fine. Obviously he knows this already and probably feels that paying the tow fee and the parking fine is worth the cost. He pretty much has no conscience whatsoever since he is taking up not one but two handicap spaces so I seriously doubt shaming will have any effect. The only choice you have then is to go in and break the guys legs in a way that he can legitimately park there. Problem solved, everyone is happy. I never once thought that that saying meant that humans only used 'literally' 10% of their brain. Like a V8 engine using only a single cylinder. Further, I believe that anyone who takes the phrase at face value may be proving the point of the phrase. Rather, I feel that it may be true that most humans only use a percentage of their brains potential. Now that may be 10% or 50% or whatever. In other words people could be smarter if they tried a little harder. This would be like a V8 engine firing on all cylinders but never going above say 1000RPM When i was younger I was very nervous about tipping because even having grown up in the US I didn't really understand how it should work or how much was enough or too much. Thanks to the Internet and articles like this I feel very comfortable tipping. When I go out I want to relax and have fun not worry over a few dollars. And I am damn sure going to tip and if I err it will be to overtip some rather than undertip. I don't want to piss off the person serving my food or drinks. Too much possibility of something 'accidentally' all over my steak or in my drink. "Is that butter sauce? I didn't know it came with butter sauce." Spring Break, San Padre 1836! WOOT! And up and down and up and down just like my balls in winter. Lies, 'I'll be upgrading to the latest Scoop' riiiiight You think that's bad, you should see how she changes channels on the HDTV. You remember how Chuck Norris was famous for all those round-house kicks? "911 What is your Emergency?" "Yes, there is a fly in my soup!" "You called Emergency Services because there is a fly in your soup?" "Yes, there is a fly in my soup." "What makes you think that is an Emergency?" "I think he's drowning . . ." Congrats on the good work there and a good story. However, and nothing against you Snuffy, I wonder if this kind of thing is what gives so many people the idea that anything technical can be fixed in just a few minutes if one just knows the right button to push and that any time a support person says it will take time and cost money to repair something they must be lying. "$200 Bucks? Just to fix a <device>? You're full of crap and just trying to rob me! . . . How do I know? Because my daughter's boyfriend fixed it the last time and all HE had to do was push two buttons and it was done in a couple of minutes!" Right, I was thinking more of the general sense than this particular incident. During the holiday season recently passed I spent a lot of time being 'shopped out' to family, friends, for tech help. Many problems are solved with a few minutes on Google and a click here and a button press there. So I'm as much to blame for giving people the impression that most any technical problem can be solved in minutes. Based on the username, I would be very concerned right now if I was a deep-fried pastry. Obviously, "Salty Sailor boy brushes hair of stone cold fox while admiring pussy." Tessa Coates, Trading Standards Officer at Notts County Council, said: "We are not aware of an eBay scam of this nature. . . . " Don't reckon they go online much there in Notts County.

Yeah, you got some feature, a slider, some new maps etc etc. I understand that. BUT I also understand that every three days to a week EVERY APP I HAVE GETS AN UPDATE.

Until then you can tell us you're going to SHIP REALSOON NOW till you're blue in the face. You have been saying that for YEARS. YES LITERALLY YEARS. What is it the physicists say?

The innocent troops which have been illegally detained were there on vacation. They were bird watching and mistakenly stepped over the border just a bit. The idea is ludicrous.

The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator "why don't you just go hiking..." You don't understand hunter culture. Guys that hunt for sport see, to them, the rifle is an extension of their penis. Shooting the animal with their friend is a shared rape experience. You know they aren't going to be supporting their family with Elk meat. They're not even going to donate the meat to a Food Bank. They just want to ejaculate their seed into the animal. You can tell how sexualized it is from the fact that all they want to bring back to commemorate the experience is a "Rack" or "Head". The larger the rack of course the more skilled you are as a hunter, (in their culture.) Taking pictures would be to them like stalking females in the park to get upskirt shots. It wouldn't be the same. Yes, the virtual rape and murder is necessary. It is a form of male primate bonding. You should have joined him. You could have been there to thank the animal for giving up its life for the sexual pleasure of these men. You could have then told them of a prime spot you knew about deep in the woods. While they slept you could have removed their weapons, gear and clothing. In the early morning you could avenge the elk by hunting the hunters with your machete. You could bring balance back to the wilderness. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator "Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century."

Okay, Googled and it says, 'As of 2013, there are approximately 50,000 U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan, along with approximately 40,000 dependents of military personnel and another 5,500 American civilians employed there by the United States Department of Defense.' Then it says there are about 43k troops (that's just troops not dependents and civilians) in Germany. Compare to Iraq where we bugged out. And from what I read we bugged out completely, as in zero, zilch. Just 'So long and thanks for all the fish!' Now we have what, maybe a couple K there? And that's only because of the shit going down. Also, I never said that Nation Building was bad or didn't work. I just said fuck it. If we are going to act like an Empire then let us BE an empire. Take over a country, oust the leaders, invest in the infrastructure, etc etc. It should be our territory now. Don't throw the fish back. And we should do that to Mexico and Central America.

We're all idiots, I guess. Building our own power apps and level to pour the bucket on our head? Everyone who installed iTunes is an idiot, a stupid cunt, who just should have donated money instead.

It was very common in the 70's for youths to renounce their 'slave' name and turn to militancy and 'rebelous' religions. Thing was shit was rough then. Economy wise. Job wise. And now here we are with a bad economy and high unemployment. Does it seem all that odd to you that some people are going to turn to these groups in hard times? It doesn't necessarily indicate the end of the world. Well anyways, my original remark was flippant. I think you are wrong. I think in the big picture things will click right along just fine. You think we're on the verge of armageddon. Only time can tell. One thing I think we do agree on is that positive change is going to be slow in coming until the current herd of boomers die off. Yes I probably fit in that category but that is okay. I know my time is coming. Unlike some others my age though I do have faith in the future generations. Maybe not YOUR generation so much but the following ones, yeah I think they're going to do things right. They're not going to have many of the advantages that my generation had, but they will have other advantages of which mine never dreamed. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Now you know the secret behind wet t-shirt contests. The cold beer / water slips over your skin so quickly and the whole thing is very refreshing and it is a statement against all those haters. It also has many . . . uh . . . health and beauty benefits. At least two that I can think of . . . and I do think about them often . . . As my grandpappy used to say, 'Can you imagine walking through a field of those barefooted?' - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator The High Holy Rod of Arrtans was swole . . . from over fifty light touches of the maidens, burning in their need and desire. The Lady Lysa wore a black silk thong. The moon-and-falcon tattooed on her right breast. Her nipples pierced with pearls. Since she did not look the sort to join the Night Harem, Tyrion could only imagine that she had decided minimal clothing to be appropriate garb for Royal Orgy. She even neglected to don a masque. The large bed beside her was empty, no doubt the 'Little Lord' of Eyrie was off somewhere masturbating with a servant. He seldom attended the Orgy, he did not come by the title 'Little Lord' lightly. Tyrion was thankful for that much, at least. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Sin City in the RAW! Link is SFW unless, you know, you should be working instead of watching YouTube and generally fucking around on the net like me. Oh SHIT! Boss Key!, Boss Key!, Boss Key! [EXCEL SPREADSHEET] - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator All I remember is Frodo looking all fucked up The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Sounds like we need to send you guys more Opium. The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Forgive me but what does this give you I'm not thinking clear so I should keep my mouth shut. BUT . . . Unlike metric weights and metric distances and all that good stuff using metric time doesn't give you any benefit over 24hr time. 8hrs of work, 8hrs of sleep, 8hrs of fucking off fits our human rhythms pretty well it seems. Metric time is just going to throw that off. Further, you are still going to have problems with leap deciseconds and that shit to make sure that it 'lines up' with the sun and holidays and all that. What a mess. Now, I think metric time isn't a totally bad idea. Instead of starting with the day though we need to start with seconds. Define a second first and then move from there. Throw out completely the idea of minute and hour and day. You would only have centiseconds and kiloseconds and so on. You start second 0 at some point (I nominate the instant the Singularity first became self-aware) and begin counting from there. Now this time is not going to 'line up' with anything in nature. It would be independent and universal like a good measure should be. The cool thing is that it should be fairly straightforward to take a known metric time and convert it to any fucking time you wanted. Days, Fortnights per Furlong, High Holy Holidays, Aztec Calendar, Stardate, what the fuck ever. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator You idiots, I hope your dick is longer than your memory. trane has posted 10000 comments, 0 stories, and 335 diaries. trane wasn't silenced. He did it himself to keep that nice 10k figure. I guess it means something to him. But anyways, he never got shitcanned on the trane account. You all are thinking of when he was going around as donnalee. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator '. . . I give a shit about the faggot.' You wrote the diary, not I. Wexel Pixel noted that trane was doing so as a 'comment' the other day. Neither Wex nor I gave a shit enough to post an entire diary. But interestingly enough you did. You obviously give "some" shit about the faggot. Perhaps related to his numerous pathetic and limp wristed attacks on your person. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Not so much him in particular just the site in a general way. But I think I have been gay for most everyone here at one time or another. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator He claims he is a panty-ass POG fuck him. You all get that it is a joke. Right? The title is THE EXPENDABLES. This is a romp. Not expected to be any better than Snakes on a Plane or Sharknado. Just some over-the-hill EXPENDABLES fucking around using catch phrases and just having a good old time. I haven't seen any of them because I realize it is just a big PULL MY FINGER (or in Arnold's case; Goh ahead, pool my fingah, nothing will happen, I promase!) I bet Expendables 4 will take place in SPACE, probably THE MOON. (Or mebbe they'll just ship their ass to Mars) - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator I am convinced that in the future Sharknado will be hailed as a Masterpiece. It is a cutting satire and scathing social commentary on our current POP CULTURE obsessions and the struggle between Science as Religion and Religion as Science. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Oh BTW I see Liam Neeson is coming out wTAKEN 5 There was Taken, Taken 2, Taken 3, Taken 4(Non-Stop) and Taken 5(A Walk Among The Tombstones). He sure is milking that 'what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.' schtick. - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator Looks like shorts and big baggie pants are the going style. Seriously though, I figure they're not wearing kilts or dog collars or anything. Just dress like you would normally. They're going to tell you're a tourist and probably American no matter what you wear. And Dr Who? Why does British TV look like it was filmed in someones basement? - The NSA is the only branch of the government that actually listens to people. - overheard on the Goldman Sachs elevator I like that 'therp'. Nice word. Well that story explains a lot. I know you are not the violent type. Hard language rather t
