Random Rants LXXII - What is wrong with us?

[Ferocitus]

Because previously I would have asked my mother to help out, but unfortunately, that's no longer possible. But no, I'm not intending to wait until next year to buy a new T-shirt or two.

Darn! I was hoping you'd embarrass yourself by making a lame joke about new threads!

Basically it says a gun shop cannot exist within 1000 feet of a school, place of worship, courthouse, park, bar, or "other facilities" they will define later. If this passes in Piscataway, I guarantee this crap will spread throughout the entire country and there won't be a single gun shop left.

ah yes , another thing the Mighty America learns from New Turkey , which is generally employed in the sale of alcohol . Which proves Islamic status of the authority so that all then can go and rob the Treasury or whatever . Americans will love it when they get the full döşe of what they have been like dishing out to others .

and ı call WHO ever invented this brand of auto correct an idiot . What the hell is a döşe , when ı write dose ? And the World Health Organization which shows up in every post ı write like the UN conspiracy or whatever it is ....

edit : And some girl like under 10 next seat is watching something called H appy T ree F riends or whatever in which some cartoon bear is making lemonade with his own eyes he gouged out . Where the world is going ? Or another thing to get rid of as soon as possible .

If I did that, I think people would lose the thread of the conversation very quickly.

Happy Tree Friends is the most amazing thing to ever happen. It ran on German MTV back when MTV still did Music Television, not political activism. So in the middle of the day, between other adult-ish cartoons, you suddenly had cartoon animals being murdered in mainstream television in the most violent ways possible and all of us kids loved it.

 

[r16]

naturally ı kept checking on . Goes onto rather boring mainstream TV series and the like , but am of the age when you are supposed to have kids , Whaaat is the typical reaction . While not clean or whatever myself ı really do not think it's a thing that represents a cultural achievement . Simpsons had the cat and the mouse killing each other in various ways , it decreased my enjoyment of the show almost anytime it appeared .

Rant: Why is it that (government) organisations seem to think that cheap = better when it comes to IT software!? I know it's taxpayers money, but all that happens is that you spend more money working around the @$£! software or you end up doing a half-!"£$% job!

....and....relax!

There is a saying in the IT industry: "You can either do it fast/cheap or you can do it right". Unfortunately most businesses and governments do it fast/cheap because capitalism.

 

[rah]

You forgot the other part of the triangle. Fast/cheap/quality choose two out of three.

Rave: Date tomorrow, and she seems enthusiastic .

It worked!
Then it did not work .
Because I prepared to well .

I can prove myself next week again, but really, I mean, really ?

 

[Synobun]

How can one prepare too well?

Hang in there, bro

Though i generally agree with Spoder.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

How can one prepare too well?

"Research" her interests to the point that it makes you look like a Creepy Stalker.

 

[Synobun]

Yes, well, you're not supposed to mention the things you find out...

 

[The_J]

That is not what happened .

How can one prepare too well?

If you know what I mean.
Let me also emphasize the second "it".

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Ah, yes.
If you work out too much before a date it can leave you exhausted.

 

[Synobun]

Hah!

I'm picking up what you're putting down. Good job. That doesn't mean she can't have fun though.

 

[The_J]

Not under these circumstances, and I have no words how to describe that here more precisely :/.

And yes, working out can be tough, exactly.

 

[Bootstoots]

You need to work out just the right amount. Too little working out causes it to fail in one way, while too much working out causes it to fail in the opposite way. Moderation is the key to exercise.

I'd have sympathy except for two things:

1. I was supposed to have a date a couple of days ago, only to be stood up.
2. I'm on Effexor, which makes working out so difficult that the too-much-exercise failure happens even after not working out for days.

As a consolation prize, though, it is actually pretty cool to have a gauge for the amount of serotonin coursing through my brain. If the meter goes up, the amount of serotonin is probably down.

 

[Lexicus]

1. I was supposed to have a date a couple of days ago, only to be stood up.

That sucks man. Happened to me several times in a row about a year ago.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I would also caution against getting too fit.
Sometimes -especially if a bit but not too much alcohol is involved- you'll be able to run for hours which can be frustrating to you and the other party who will sometimes take it as a personal insult.
