Random Rants XLII: The Four-Part Plan

[Gamemaster77]

Am I just sensitive or are my teammates really abrasive dicks.

Barring any other information, I'm going to go with you're too sensitive.

Cricket is a jerk of a sport.

Why not both?

I can't say I'm a big fan, but your comment surprises me.

I play club cricket on Saturday afternoon. Today was a particularly frustrating one.

 

[Gamemaster77]

Why not both?

Well when I judge jerkishness, I usually judge it around their intentions; and generally, their not attempting to be an abrasive dick.

 

[Borachio]

Does anyone ever attempt to be sensitive and/or an abrasive dick? (apart from me - I would attempt both simultaneously if there was the slightest chance of it being funny)(Just curious.)

 

[JohannaK]

I do, sometimes.

Vandals smashed our mailbox, and about a quarter of the mailboxes on our side of the road.

Breivik said the experience of having to use the stab-free pen was as "an almost indescribable manifestation of sadism."

The self-confessed killer described numerous prison practices as "degrading" in his letter, including that he is watched when swallowing his vitamin pills, that he's not allowed a mop to clean his cell and that he is subjected to daily strip searches, sometimes by female prison guards.

Keeping up his personal hygiene is also a challenge, he said.

"Use of a toothbrush and electric shaver is always under supervision. One is therefore under mental pressure to finish quickly as the guards are tapping their feet outside the cell ... This limits brushing to once a day and shaving to once a week in order not to have to go through the mental ordeal more often than necessary," he wrote in the letter.

I would pull the trigger myself.

 

[Borachio]

I wouldn't read/think any more about this man than I had to.

 

[NickyJ]

He gunned down 77 people, and wounded 242 people. If he thinks this is too much of a mental ordeal, I would be more than happy to hang up a short piece of rope in his cell.

And thus void any concept of justice we have.

If you're gonna whine about losing your job on christmas day again, don't.

Contrary to what you've been telling everyone, you lost your job a few days BEFORE christmas day, NOT on the actual holiday itself. Trust me, I know, because a) I remember that rant in a rants thread very well, and b) the proof is in the rants thread archives.

 

[Arakhor]

Wow, PE is telling CG to shut up and stop whining? Yeah, well...

 

[GenMarshall]

[JohannaK]

Ultimate irony. Or hypocrisy. Not sure.

whatever it is...
