Random Rants XLVIII: Worst. Thread Title. Ever!

[madviking]

Because after doing the math, it comes out cheaper than living at home with a car/car insurance or in an off campus apartment less than four miles from campus. We don't have much in the way of student slum housing so you can't really get cost savings from moving off campus unless you go far enough away it becomes cheap. Unfortunately, then you need to put up with the relatively poor quality of public transit in St. Paul or get a car-completely negating the cost savings!

I can't say I'm thrilled about living in dorms again, but it is nice living on campus.

what the hell? there are a bunch of dorms at uva which are further away than a lot of the off-grounds housing

Ctrl+Shift+T on some versions, Arakhor.

Oh, you're right. Ctrl-Alt-T is Duplicate Tab instead.

Safari is complete garbage, the iOS version even more so.

Tru dat. I love Firefox -- I use it on both my Windows and Ubuntu partitions on my laptop; it's on my cheapie Chinese tablet and in my Samsung mp3 player.

My campus is pretty small and due to how it was constructed, most of the dorms have a pretty central location. End to end it is a brisk 15 minute walk. Plus, St. Thomas is smack in the middle of nice dense suburban housing near the Mississippi River-not exactly cheap living.

sucks, man

I don't want to sound like a dog in a manger, but my jerky comrade is hitting on my ex right in front of me! I mean, he doesn't know she's my ex, because we don't talk about it. I mean it's hilarious to watch -- she looks like Naomi Campbell, he looks like, and more importantly, is as obnoxious Rush Limbaugh. Imagine a Red version of Rush Limbaugh. If he succeeds, there will be a rift in the space-time continuum and the earth may get swallowed up by a singularity. Pray, people.

Even Reds get the blues...

I love seeing all the homophobic comments on yahoo articles. Sometimes I wish I was gay just so I can tell all those bigoted people off. I mean I still can, but it doesn't have as much of an effect. Or maybe just see who these people are in real life. I know a decent amount of people who are uncomfortable with homosexuality. But I only know a few that go to the extreme to actively say how its wrong and protest against it. One of them just doesn't make since at all. The other though went to great lengths to make up some BS logic against it. Unfortunately that person is the father of one of my friends so it would make for some awkward times upsetting him. I'd just love to get into a big long argument with one of those people, point out that there is no rational reason why gayness is "wrong", and then be like "I'm gay, so what?". Too bad I can't stick that last part in there though.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, there's nothing stopping you from claiming that you're gay for rhetorical effect, unless doing so would endanger your health, I suppose.

And you don't have to be gay to have a Mel Gibson obsession...just throwing that out there...

That's a suspiciously specific denial.

 

[Borachio]

Is Mel Gibson gay? I didn't know.

I remember the first film he was in (I don't remember the name). Where he played a person with learning difficulties getting married to a much older woman.

His career has gone down hill all the way since.

No he's not gay. Neither am I. But he is amazing to the nth degree.

I am not gay, either, but I know ALL the songs from Cabaret, though in principle I never sing "Tommorrow Belongs to Me" for obvious reasons -- and it was the song G Gordon Liddy used to sing on his way to the shower when he was in Danbury prison.

Lots of people claiming not to be gay here, today. I must say it's a very easy claim to make when no proof is either required or sufficient.

 

[Arakhor]

I went to see Mama Mia! at the cinema and I nearly went twice. Does that make me "not gay"?

 

[Borachio]

Did you sing along? That's the only relevant question.

 

[Takhisis]

I am not gay,

You're a pinko, and everyone knows gays love pink, hence their forming a pink mafia. Ergo, you're gay. Stands to reason.

I am a Red. Not a "pinko." Good God, man, check the color spectrum!

Besides, who cares? I recruited two gay organizers this year -- not that I asked but they did say.

But Arakhor? Mama Mia? I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. ABBA is Swedish, and --- I'm going to get in trouble... Forget it.

Thread needs more Mel.

 

[Takhisis]

No. Cheezy is a Red. Until you've annoyed as many people as he has you're a Pinko.

Or else you could go pedantic as some ichtyous poster around the place.
