Random Rants XLIII: So Much Whinging Your Head May Explode

[Arakhor]

Who is certainly more idiomatic, but since I could have said "you never want to think of him again", whom would be more grammatically correct.

 

[Borachio]

Yes. "Whom" is pedantically correct. "..., of whom I never want to think again" would also be correct, and very stiffly formal - which might be one's intent.

".... psychopaths whom I never want to think of again" is just stylistically cumbersome, imo

Still, this is a lot of attention on one letter "m".

It's just grammar dude. It's not our fault you don't decline English properly.

 

[Borachio]

Says who? An American?!!!

 

[sophie]

So apparently Bank of America automatically flags any transactions made overseas. Could've fooled me as I've been withdrawing money from my account via Barclay's ATMs for the past three months.

Needless to say now I have no access to funds and they won't let me resolve the problem unless I call their hotline number. Naturally they have no UK number to call and if I were to call them it would cost me £2 a minute. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Borachio]

Sue them for rank incompetence! At least charge them for any calls you make.

The front yard looks like it could be worth to get the snow blower out...gorramit .

My fourth and final wisdom tooth is being a douche. It keeps re-positioning itself, only this time it actually hurts. Bah. If it doesn't pick a permanent spot after this time, I'll just go get it removed.

Four armed robberies this week. Four. All really close the police station. What are they doing when this is happening? I'm going to move on getting that gun permit. I'll be dammed if some fool is going to take my phone.

In the meantime I'm going to use a decoy. Hm...that's almost idea-worthy. Phone decoys.

If it's under eruption and the gum around it is inflamed, try to bite a piece of cotton soaked in Chlorhexidine 1mg/ml for a few minutes, a few times per day, a couple of days. It worked for me.


My car is iced and I haven't been able to use it for a week!!

Not really mad, the bike is working..

I've often thought about carrying a decoy wallet or phone- if you get mugged, throw it on the floor and run. I'm not sure a) it'd work or b) maybe I'm being paranoid.

Don't have that.

Though chewing in general seems to be helping a lot.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Hmmm... I can't tell if its a good thing or a bad thing

that I've gotten to the point in which every day I have a serious debate of whether or not to actually get up and get food at the dining hall

I'm thinking its a bad thing

RANT it is then!

I got an email from rescuetime.com about my weekly activities

Oops...


I think (I hope) that's because I left the computer running with this in the foreground- but I'm not sure

Expected family contribution for college: $10000-ish. The amount I'm getting: priceless, as I am receiving none, or so I'm told.

Bengals lost. SO. DAMN. CLOSE.

CFC staff changing policies while nobody's looking.

 

[GamezRule]

Is anybody ever looking?

 

[Takhisis]

Well, they actually contradict their own rules so, yeah.
